The fish and chips has made the Anchor justifiably famous, but everything on the British pub menu is reliably delicious, filling, and supremely affordable.

Best fish and chips. Ever. Period. Get a spot at the bar and watch the masters in action- frying fish to perfection. Very fresh fish- seated front and center and there's no noticeable "fishy smell."

The short, affordable menu - nothing costs more than $10 - consists of the hearty, traditional fare that two of the owners, Irish expats, grew up on, right down to the baby-food-style mushy peas. Read more

Very arguably the best fish and chips in the Twin Cities area. Open kitchen- sit at the bar and watch the magic happen. Small space, expect to split up large groups.

Irish food at its very best! Here you can get anything from traditional fish & chips, to Shepherd's Pie, to even a fried egg-topped burger! Check it out next time you're in Northeast! Read more

Come for breakfast. Order a Guinness, then go next store and order a double espresso to go. Come back to Anchor and your beer will be ready and you can pour the espresso in. Best breakfast beer around

Great food, but a very cold room with tremendous drafts as people use the door. On cold winter nights the front third of the room is really unusable. A huge negative during winter. Come in summer.

Why would you get anything besides the fish and chips (with tartar sauce)? Also you'll probably want to get water because the fish and chips are just as salty as they are delicious.

Awesome fish and chips, delicious cole slaw, amazing burgers, and great beers. And their specials are always good, too.

The Fish and Chips is hands-down the best in many, many miles. That and a beer of your choice is all you'll need, and all you'll ever need.

Of course you are going to try the “Real Deal” fish & chips ($8.75), they're the best in town. Friendly and comfortable, they also serve classics like Shephards Pie ($8.50). Read more

Best and largest cod filet ever for the fish and chips. It's always busy though so don't come starving.
Rebecca MazzaDecember 5, 2018
Can’t beat the prices and the fish is outstanding. Service isn’t outstanding but the food comes out quickly
Vee BeeAugust 22, 2012
Great fish! Surprised and disappointed that they didn't have malt vinegar. The server said 'yeah, we're asked a lot for it'. So get some!!

Gotta go with the fish and chips. Amazing piece of fish was a delicious, crispy coating. Yum!

Voted top 10 French Fries! The potatoes are hand-cut, blanched, fried to order, and tossed in a coat of kosher salt.

Veggie Pastie and Fish and Chips are To. Die. For. The Shepherd's Pie actually makes you wish it were January and you had on a big cozy sweater.
Brent LassiAugust 23, 2014
The meat pastie is super tasty (really is more like a fried knish) but be warned - there is no meat in it. It's all mashed potatoes inside (ala knish) but don't expect more than a 1/2oz of meat.
City PagesJune 10, 2011
Voted as having the Best Fries by City Pages in 2011! The Anchor's fries are the ultimate simple man's food on a simple man's budget...just $2 for a small, $3.50 for a large.

Love the veggie pasty. I wish the chips were, well, chippier. I like my chips extra crispy and these are awfully limp.

Try the Fish And Chips W/ Side Of Curry Chips - Awesome as usual! Always get the side of curry.
Stephen KoontzSeptember 29, 2014
They don't take reservations and it's a small place. But trust me, the wait is worth it.
Mariann Justmari Beard-GossOctober 9, 2015
Well I was bowled over by the coleslaw! Fish and chips was crispy & delicious

If they have it, get the mussel salad. Spinach, bacon, garlic, leeks, shallots. $6. Ridiculous and amazing.

Amazing fish and chips! Definitely not a light meal though. Idk why someone would say that.
Gunnar SDecember 14, 2018
The fish and chips was amazing!
Callie PankowApril 7, 2014
Best tartar sauce I've ever had! The fish and chips are perfection!
Krista KroghOctober 27, 2012
Definitely coming back for the fish and chips! Wasn't a big fan of the curry sauce or shepard's pie tho :/
Wil E.July 29, 2012
Request a side of tangy curry sauce to layer on your fries and you're sure to tantalize your taste buds.
Curtis ShoungJuly 8, 2016
fish and chips were tasty. using cod with a light batter.
Amy MacoskoFebruary 20, 2010
Yum! Fresh, light and CHEAP fish n chips!! Our bill was 52$ for four of us which included 4 dinners and 3 glasses of wine...the long wait is worth it!

Try the Fish & Chips, naturally. Gorgeous fish in a sweet, malty batter crisped to the heavens is not as easy as Anchor makes it look.—Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, February 2011

Wish you were in London? No money? No plane tickets? No time? No problem! Head to The Anchor and you'll feel like you have crossed the Atlantic. And don't forget to order the Shepherd's Pie!
Kate MillerOctober 25, 2015
The fish and chips are the best! Shepherd's pie is awesome too!
Stephen KoontzAugust 28, 2014
Best fish and chips in the Twin Cities. Large portions and... I want to go back already
NahtayMarch 30, 2013
Omg some of the best food in minnesota. Best fish & chips on this side of the pond. No joke!!
Jan GrundtnerFebruary 9, 2014
So far, not impressed! If busy, you're screwed if you're a party of two. And if they are busy, don't take back table! They forget about you!

Best Fish & Chips in MN. Hell, I've been to Ireland and it's still the best fish & chips I've ever had!

In my opinion, they have the best veggie burger in the Twin Cities.
Amy KeastJuly 26, 2011
Go with a friend, get veggie burger and fish and chips to split. You've got to have both!
