So much history here that you can't get more local than Anchorage. Great energy. Fine food. Good bar!

Good lunch find on a Friday afternoon. The private parking lot had plenty of spots and the outside as well as the inside were beautifully decorated for Halloween. They really went all out! Great atmosphere, the history on the walls and some of the frames are stunning. We were seated in the side dining are, the porch was packed and the tavern was just about full. Our server was prompt, friendly and gave some great recommendations. Drink wise my wife enjoyed the Pomegranate Cosmo and I stuck to the Cape May IPA on draft. The beer list wasn't very extensive so I kept it simple, but they did have a full bar and just under a dozen drink specials. The food menu had a lot of great choices. I split the Crab Bisque with my wife. it had a lot of lump crab meat, was creamy, tasty and a solid safe pick at $9 a bowl. My mother and wife split the Stuffed Mushroom Caps - stuffed with our famous crab cake and baked to perfection. Topped with sauce hollandaise $16. They weren't blown away and reported them to be ok. I had the Jumping Barbecue Shrimp - wrapped with hickory smoked bacon and marinated in house barbecue sauce. Charbroiled to perfection $14. I wasn't very impressed by them. They were charred a bit too much and the sauce overpowered any flavoring of the shrimp and the bacon was meh. My wife had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken and said it was a nice portion and typical, but good. My mother enjoyed a crab cake sandwich and I had the Fresh Catch Sandwich - choice of Fresh Fried Flounder (I went with this) or Charbroiled Mahi Mahi. Served on a Kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato, tartar sauce and fries. It was a decent portion for lunch. There was nothing flashy about it, but the flounder was fresh, simple and had good flavor. We really enjoyed the ambiance and good service at the Anchorage. I had never heard of it before so a dinner stop would probably be a fairer judge of their more complex dishes. I would certainly repeat if I find myself in the area again. Thanks guys!!

If you don't know, The Anchorage is a local bar, which Shoobie appeal. Very comfortable Porch, tavern and dining room seating with TVs covering every sight line. First off the beer batter mozzarella sticks are amazing!!! With that out of the way we were here during a 4:00pm Eagle's game so lots of locals and a good thing the Eagles were winning. They have a good selection of local and premium beers on tap. My wife thought the seasonal drink list was also pretty good. My Grilled Cheese was not great, but my wife's Anchorage chicken melt was phenomenal. So I'll be getting that next time.

There were 4 of us for dinner. Each ordered a different thing. All were very delicious! We also ordered the crab dip for an appetizer and the dark chocolate cake for dessert. Each thing was beautifully prepared and perfectly cooked. The apple cider mule was great as well. We visited on the recommendation of a friend and were very pleased with our meals, the wait and bus staff and the value of our visit. It was pretty loud but that's to be expected on a Saturday night.

This busy popular spot in Somers Point NJ was a mixed bag on our visit. We had a hour wait,no problem we expected that. Belly up to the bar to find three bartenders all on one side of the bar where the service bar is and I'm guessing regulars they might favor. Took a good 15 minutes to make eye contact with one of them,and not exactly a warm reception. We ate outside which was nice on a pleasant summer evening. Oyster shooters were a little dry without much oyster liquor and a splash of cocktail sauce (I'm thinking preshucked and prepped ahead??) calamari was on point,entrees were all tasty served in a timely manner with exception of the buffalo chicken tender salad which one of our guests had gotten there before,maybe 3 pieces of chicken on top,ouch! Good price point for the quality overall.

You want a great place to dine at the shore but not on the island. What better than to visit sommers point. You will find alot of realy good restaurants. Make sure you stop at the Anchorage. If the weather is good you can dine outside on the porch. The view of the water and form there is what you want. Very happy with the service. very friendly good knowledge of the menu, made good recomendations. We enjoyed everything about or experience. We plan to return when the weather warms up.

We had a great late lunch/early dinner at the Anchorage last weekend. We arrived around 3:30 in the afternoon on a Saturday and it wasn't busy at all. By the time we left an hour later, the place was literally swarming, inside and out. We were glad we got there when we did. We (me, my three daughters, and three grandsons ages 5 and under) sat on the porch overlooking the bay and it was just perfect. The food was great - salads, fried mushrooms, sandwiches, etc. My oldest grandson loved the fried flounder kids meal and the portion was huge - he had enough left for dinner and a snack the next day. He also loved both of the sauces that came with it. Our waitress was also very sweet and attentive. My BFF who lives in OC recommended that we eat at the Anchorage before heading home from visiting her, and we were glad that she recommended it. We are already planning to stop there again on our next trip to OC. Great little spot!
