Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws the most praise at Anchor Cafe, with reviewers repeatedly calling out biscuit dishes, from a steak biscuit grilled with cheese on the flat top to a pork chop served on a homemade biscuit. Close behind, diners mention the hash browns and eggs, a Spanish omelette with biscuits, and a daily special of greens with sausage seasoning. The fried chicken, northern bean soup and coleslaw also earn mention from travelers passing through. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, and the diner is noted as a laid back, home cooking spot popular with locals and road trippers alike. A few complaints recur on a smaller scale: one reviewer found the Philly cheesesteak bland with a frozen patty, another waited longer than expected for food to come out, and one diner was disappointed the cornbread ran out before more could be served. One reviewer noted the kitchen closes as early as 1:30pm, cutting a visit short.

“I stopped into The Anchor on a road trip through town. We had a delicious breakfast! Fast service, wonderful food, and they even accommodated my sister with special needs who needed to bring her own food in. Thank you!”

“Quintessential small town vibe. Was greeted with a warm smile at the front counter. Local Patriots were greedy me with smiles and hellos as well. Really seem to be a place where I could enjoy breakfast everyday if I lived here. Moving on to the steak biscuit. It is the best biscuit in recent memory. Added a little cheese and they grilled the biscuit on a flat top. It was straight fire. Highly recommend this is your morning breakfast. Stop if you're in town or if you're a regular.”

“Home cooking place. Best for breakfast. Hubs couple eggs. Hash browns, toast and counth was great. I had the Philly cheesesteak which was just edible. On wheat toast, bland cheese, steak was frozen patty chopped into pieces. Mostly just no taste.”
