The Lost Anchor

The Lost Anchor is a full service themed restaurant located in Vienna, just steps from the Ohio River. Seafood, burgers and other American fare served in a casual restaurant with a bar and live music.

What a "unique" spot in my hometown. The atmosphere was... a lot. And it had a bit of a musty smell. But they weren't busy at all. So we got really great service. Thankfully all the food was great. My parents and I all got a different type of fish and they were each cooked/breaded to perfection. Not sure I'd come back just for the food as the space was just cold and dark which is hard to imagine with all the kitschy beach things around. Kinda felt like I was in a church basement food hall with a beach theme.

Stumbled into this place for a late lunch based on a Google and Yelp search. It looked like the kind of funky local joint that my party and I usually enjoy. And we had a good experience here, it was just a little odd. It was a weird time-- late for lunch, early for dinner and they gave us the lunch menu. We were one of maybe 3 occupied tables. We had questions. Our gothy server was new(ish) and couldn't answer any of them. Things like how certain sandwiches were server and what came with them. It was really difficult to read the menus because it was really, really dark inside.So we ended up with wings. Always wings. They were great. Fresh and crispy. We got some kind of breadsticks with "tuscan sauce" which was really good. I'd like to try wings in that tuscan sauc . My friend got an Italian sandwich. I got a basket with fries, hush pupplies and fried oysters. The food was good. The service sketchy. I'd go back next time I'm in the area.

Was seated and ordered an appetizer. Server didn't come back but took an order from a 4 top that came in after us. Sorry but I don't think we will return.

The only complaint I would have is it took a while for the staff to approach me... but then found out they have had a plumbing issue (fixed now) Ok the good stuff Emma, Tristan and the owner Rick are awesome they are very friendly and inviting ... food was awesome and the pours are generous!!!!I l ok me the place and the staff and the food!!!!!Will be back!!!

The atmosphere was fun and the service was excellent. Unfortunately, the food was overpriced for being frozen and then fried. It lacked flavor. I think if the prices were lower I could go again due to the service being so great.

Went for lunch which offers a very limited menu and did not care for offerings. Server was very good, however. Dinner may be much better (would have to be!).

Food, wine, and service was excellent! Nice atmosphere. Has live music at times. Wall to wall floor to floor tv. They also have patio seating.

Might be a seafood spot but I had one of the best burgers I have had in years. Great locally owned spot in Vienna WV

We went there because we heard they had really good fried fish filets. The breading was thick and the fish almost non-existent. So we swapped it out for some large fried shrimp, but the breading was really thick on them too. The tails popped right off and there was a tiny bit of shrimp in them. We opened them all, in case there were just a few flukes, but they were all that way.If we go back, it surely won't be for the food. The live music was really good!
