The Anchor

Came here because we were looking for breakfast after a late night out in Mankato and my father in law raved about it. Now I see why! Excellent atmosphere, beautiful patio and amazing food! We enjoyed fantastic service as well. You can't beat a FREE bloody with breakfast - and it was a delicious bloody at that. The food was served in generous portions, and tasted wonderful. Their pancakes are fire! The patio was super clean and well kept, with a large outdoor bar area, stage for live music and cornhole boards set up. There's also a clean, spacious indoor area to dine indoors, with a bar as well and clean bathrooms. Definitely will be coming back!

The food is good, and our waitress did a great job of checking with us to see that we got everything we needed. Three of us had the Walleye special (big walleye), which is lightly breaded and comes with choice of potato and/or coleslaw. My wife had the Pork Chop special, she loved it as it was not dried out like in other restaurants. There were sports on the TV, whatever one you are interested in, they had them all. I went with coleslaw as my side to keep my glucose down, and my glucose levels came in perfect after meal. I gave them my top rating as they exceeded my expectations in price and service, a lot of value (quality of food and drink/cost).

Slow, poor service and mediocre food at best. Just stopped for breakfast Sunday morning. Took 1.5 hours to get our food with the place less than half full. The steak and eggs special was terrible. The steak was way overcooked bad cut of meat that still had marks from where the jockey was whipping it. Wouldn't recommend it.
