Economical food spot with decent quality fish and chips in the Northeast neighborhood! The fried cod contained more breading than the actual fish, which was a minus, and there wasn't enough seasoning for me to enjoy the fish itself without the tartar sauce, so suffice it to say that the sauce saved the day. The fries were really good, although it would be relatively more difficult to mess up fries in comparison to deep fried fish. I don't think I really see others order other items in this establishment and it makes sense. The fish & chips is their stable dish and the dish that makes them worth coming back. Our server was very courteous and attentive to our needs, and would always come back to our table at the right time to refill my ginger ale. Together with the excellent service, I would rate this place a 4 out of 5 stars.

Amazing! Having had fish and chips all over the US and Europe, this is still my favorite place. Both the fish and the chips are fried to perfection and will leave your stomach and mouth satisfied. If you have never been here, you are missing out. My only issue with this place... The charge for tartar sauce (it comes with none). Can I afford it? Yes, of course. Should I have to pay extra for tartar sauce? Of course not.

First, make sure to get a reservation. It’s a small building so there not a lot of booths if you are going with more than 2 people (plenty of bar seating thought) as it fills up quick for dinner. Second, they have one of the best fish and chips baskets I’ve had. I am not a fish eater and I usually need lots tartar sauce to eat fried fish, but I could eat this fish all by itself. I order a side of their curry and gravy. Both good, but the gravy is definitely better. If you prefer a quieter setting, make sure to sit outside (max is 6 total people outdoors) as it’s a bit noise indoors for conversation. All in all, great service and fish!

First time at Anchor and a nice experience. Arrived a little after 5 pm and found a prime parking spot on the street right across from the restaurant. Wasn't busy at the time so we were seated right away at a high top next to the window that overlooked their little patio seating area. Service was excellent as our waitress took the order within five minutes after sitting down. Both of us had their fish fillet and fries. Fillet was deep fried, meaty and large, estimating at least eight inches in length. Tartar sauce provided for dipping and actually the fish had enough taste to avoid using it. Fries were thick and had almost a slight sweet potato taste. Overall I would rate it very highly for an actual fish and chips meal. One question is if it got busier where would you park? Got lucky since we came earlier in the evening. Might be walking a bit because I didn't see any off street parking. In addition if you are handicapped the main door looks reasonably small and not sure if you can pass through without problems. Good first impression at Anchor.and hope to stop in again real soon

Is there a sixth star?! We’ve been living in the States for over 12 years and been continually searching for some decent chippie chips … and here we have em! These are best chips we’ve tasted and the mushy peas were delicious! The only minor criticism of the battered sausage was the sausage was too meaty but other than a quality that you don’t normally get in a chip shop, this was fantastic! We will definitely be back 😍

Great staff. Fish and chips always excellent. Great place for dinner before heading off, three blocks away, to the Ritz theatre (theatre Latte Da) for a performance.

This is the best fish n chips I’ve had to date. It’s not the dish that I’d usually order off a menu at an establishment, but if they are of this quality I’d change my disposition. I’ve even been to London, and this beats the fish n chips there. Let me explain: First, the fish is firm. It doesn’t fall apart when you eat it, unlike most flaky fish. You can use your fork to separate it or eat with your hands without it crumbling into a mess of fishy flesh. Second, the fish is very flavorful. The balance of the breading and the fish itself is perfect. The most common issue with fried fish is that the breading takes over, and that it tastes like you were eating something too oily. This is not the case here. This is well-salted outside, and more importantly—what tastes like inside the breading (in the fish itself) too. Third, the breading is crunchy. This is not a “light“ breading, and actually has a substantial amount of crunch. This sets up a really nice contrast to the moist and tender fish inside. Many fish and chips do not achieve this level of crunch in their crusts, and often end up soggy. Fourth, the fries are actually quite good. Many times, fries feel like they are unseasoned or soggy. Fries here are neither of those. They are crisp and salted–just how I like them. Many restaurants consider fries an afterthought, but that does not feel like the case here. You’ll have to pay more for extras. For instance, I had to pay a little bit extra for tartar sauce. Thankfully, the tartar sauce was quite good. If you were to get an extra from the menu, I would recommend the curry. I was very surprised because it was not a combination I had considered before. An interesting aspect of this curry is that it is quite dense. I can tell there is quite a lot of biomass that was blended into the purée that is the curry sauce. It’s a very good combination with fries. I also tried the gravy, but it was not as noteworthy as the curry. I would recommend the curry over the gravy. In short, I recommend coming here. For the best fish and chips experience you may have in your lifetime, I believe the prices are fair and the value is good.

Great Irish pub, currently decorated for Halloween as if this writing. Food was delicious, menu was pared down to specialties.

I have found yet another place in the Twin Cities that I have to stop at every time I’m here. The menu is reasonably small which I prefer. What they do, they do so well! The atmosphere was identical to an adorable little English pub. Staff were friendly and very attentive. Even saw a sweet couple come in who made their reservation for the wrong day. Once they realized this, the hostess was kind and made sure they were accommodated anyway! I would suggest making a reservation here as it was quite busy. They do have bar seating which is reserved for walk ins if that is your preference.

Have to get the Fish and Chips! The fish is the perfect combo of juicy fish and crispy, flakey batter. The chips, however, are fairly basic. I would say if you have more than 1, then get various sides. Reservations are not required but probably a good idea to make one. The restaurant itself was a bit dim and warm but that’s expected with the summer weather. The menu should be up-to-date on their website so you should be able to view beforehand!

Great hand battered fish and chips! Second time there but I will be back. We love malt vinegar but unfortunately they only have white vinegar. No worries we brought our own! I do recommend reservations and if you don't want to pay the extra processing fee for any card bring cash.

Stopped in here on a Friday night to pick up an order of fish and chips. I’ve had this meal a few times and it never disappoints. Still tasty after sitting around for a while. I’m usually on the go whenever eating in NE since I work as a delivery driver and I rarely have the opportunity to sit and eat peacefully. It’s important to find something that will still be pleasing if not eaten right away. The cod is great! Especially with tartar sauce and vinegar. This place is always bustling any time I step in here so either be ready to wait or make sure to have reservations. Parking lot in back and plenty of street parking. They are very efficient and always have my order ready when I stop in. Will continue to dine in and pick up in the future.

We had the Fish and Chips at the Anoka Food Trauck Festival recently. Cod fillet is exceptionally large and very fresh. Batter was well seasoned and crispy. Just a bit oily. Thought the Chips could definitely been crispier. Still well worth it for a delicious piece of fish!

Simply the best fish chips in the metro. This place is so good that i regularly make the 40-minute drive from my home to get their fish. It's that good.

Great experience! Came here for the first time yesterday and was very content with my experience. The restaurant itself is fairly small however it’s pretty cozy inside. I ordered the fish and chip with the blueberry cider. The food came out relatively quick. It was hot and delicious. The cider was reallly good as well. Probably the best I’ve had.

Great food! Absolutely stellar! Fish and chips are the best in the cities! The place has small tables and feels very cramped. Also you only have an hour to eat. Which is alittle bit of a turn off. With that said. It’s a must go too if you’re in Minneapolis.

Hands down one of the best fish and chips we've had in the Twin Cities. We came in the weekend of art-a-whirl and the food was great. It was a hot day and their beer selection is pretty good too. Staff was friendly and we were lucky we were able to get in so quickly as this place is busy and with a good reason. The fish and chips were really tasty and didn't disappoint. We will be back for sure!!!

It's been a long while since I've been there but when you're in the mood for comfort food and cozy/pub atmosphere this is the place! There's an hour limit on dining which I find weird. I would've felt comfortable on date night sitting back without a time limit, but since it's a small place and it's a popular N.E location they need to move it along. I'll of course stop in again at some point. Fish N Chips were great and some of the best slaw I've had! ⚓
