The Anchor

Great food great serviceI enjoy eating there often Great drinks and draft beer Great special daily

For my 1400th review, I am going to write about my families experience at The Anchor. Ever since my family started to explore Celina's shops and restaurants about a year ago, The Anchor has been on my list of places to try. I am very glad we finally got around to it, as the entire experience was stupendous! We came one Friday night after work and parked next to The Anchor. We walked into this intimate and cozy pub and were immediately seated. The server gave us sometime to peruse the drink and food menus as we never had been to the pub. My brother got a beer, my mother and I both ordered some mixed drinks. My mother ordered the Tiki Torch, which is a mix of Bacardi Silver Rum, Malibu Coconut Rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and grenadine. She absolutely loved it! I also tried some and found if quite refreshing. I ordered the Sailboat Sour, which is a blend of Four Roses Bourbon, simple syrup, lemon juice, blackberry brandy, sugar rim, garnished with a lemon slice. The drink was fantastic! I strongly recommend! We also ordered the cheese curds as an app, some of the best I have ever had!My brother and I both ordered burgers. He went with the cowboy burger, while I went with the bacon double. The burgers were perfection and the fries it came with were crunchy and hot. My mother ordered some chicken tenders with fries, which she thoroughly enjoyed! She couldn't finish the meal, as it was too much chicken for her. No worries, i had one bite and i couldn't stop until i finished what she left! Chicken was perfectly seasoned!The service was excellent throughout the time we were there! It is a wonderful little pub in Celina that I recommend everyone try!

Went here for dinner last night. Given the town is relatively small with limited good food options, I'll admit that our expectations were pretty low but the Anchor was a great experience. The service was quick and attentive. The food came out piping hot and had great flavor. We left all in agreement that the we will be back!

Anchors away! Loved this little pub. Cozy, chill, and oh so nautical. Anchors everywhere. Even the restroom doors had portholes (don't worry they were not see through). Impressive rotating craft beer selection. Friendly greeting and seating and a very professional, cheerful and knowledgeable waiter who knew how to patiently welcome first-timers, and not scared to make recommendations. At first glance I was not thrilled with the food choices - burgers and sandwiches so I'm thinking bar food, but man alive, it was top notch. I'm sticking with keto right now and they made a beautiful presentation of the breakfast burger minus bun for me. It was delicious and that runny egg was done to perfection. This place was recognized as a 'beef backer' by the county Cattlemen's Association so you know they are sourcing fresh local non-factory meat. Excellent flavor. My husband had the perfect Reuben sandwich on soft beautiful marble rye. I traded him one of my crispy balsamic glazed Brussels for a bite of sandwich. Corned beef was so juicy and delectable. He loved it.The Grand Lake area is my new playground so plan to be back soon and definitely hitting The Anchor.

Omg!!! MUST TRY!! We had the jalapeño burger and the peanut butter and jelly burger with Brussel sprouts and bloody Mary's. Super clean atmosphere, the service was amazing and the food was out of this world! So happy we found this place- new favorite

A must try location. The business is clean, staff is friendly, and the service is efficient. The food was excellent, and we will definitely return to try more options.

This was our second time eating there... yum! Portions were smaller than the first (about a year apart). Very busy. The food is good!

This wasn't our first choice place to grab dinner with two small kids in downtown Celina, but it was a strangely crowded night, and this is where we ended up. It was pretty good! A wider than usual array of unhealthy but delicious pub food -- queso with chorizo, fried pickles, fried cheese curds, etc., along with a slightly sad but tasty southwestern chicken salad and some kids meals -- and very cheerful service. A port in a storm, so to speak.

Their burgers are some of the best we've had anywhere, bold & unique recipes including PD&J and jalapeño popper. They always have a broad craft beer selection and service is fast and top notch!

The service was great. I got the double classic burger with chips. Personally, there was a bit too much salt for me, so I ended up not eating the whole thing. But, I would still recommend this place.
