Best of the Northland

Anchor

The Anchor is a Northland eatery with an almost indescribable vibe. So we will describe it anyway. Badly. Judging by landslide wins it enjoys year after year, one might conclude that the Anchor may have a bit of cult following. Entering the Anchor is like entering a 20th Century Twilight Zone-ish Time Capsule: Eisenhower, or is it Nixon, is still president, Walter Cronkite is on the tube and your cheeseburger costs $3.25. Needle scratching vinyl…What? A Cheeseburger for $3.25? That’s right, remember, you’ve entered a time capsule. With unique offerings such as the cashew burger, the Hawaiian and the fresh (slaughtered before your eyes) potato fries, it’s no real wonder that the Anchor just keeps winning.
