Review by Ted, Columbus, GA 8/27/20264.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
It's been many years since I was last in here, in fact I think it was called something else back then, but it looks similar to how I remember it. The lady serving us was excellent and offered some recommendations. We kicked off with oysters and a salmon dip which were tasty. My wife went with a special fish dish that she liked but the fish was watery on the plate, and I had the mahi grilled which was a good sized piece but didn't have a whole lot of flavor. My wife had some tropical cocktails she liked and my old fashioned was ok. I came here for nostalgia reasons and we wanted seafood, but we will most likely pick another place next time.

The fish and seafood dishes I've had here have been excellent but I can't recommend the wings which I tried today. Stick to the seafood which is what they do best! They have the best juicy scallops. Good happy hour for drinks and the atmosphere can get lively. Service is very friendly and staff make you feel welcome.

Dinner Saturday night was on point with good seafood and attentive service. The shrimp scampi was awesome. It was busy with a great atmosphere around the bar side. The drinks and desserts were also very good. I wish I had gotten our waitress's name as she was on her game.

Went with friends and although I don't like seafood, I had a great steak meal here smothered with mushrooms and onions, came with fresh veggies. I also had a good slice of Key lime pie. Our server was very attentive and we all enjoyed the evening.

Quite a good place for seafood with all your usual menu items like clam chowder, oysters, platters, fish sandwiches etc. plus they do a range of martinis and mixed drinks which are good. The decor is dated but it has a whimsical charm about it. More of the blue hair crowd here.

Review by Caroline, Palm Coast 4/12/20264.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
A good choice for seafood. Our dinners were tasty and loved the clam chowder. Wish they didn't give sauces in cheap plastic takeout containers, we're in a sit down restaurant. Service was great and the atmosphere cozy and very nautical but feels a little dated. Good central location.

Review by Taylor, Palm Coast 1/18/20265.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
Loved the food and we had very friendly and attentive service. Best place we have eaten at for a long time. The Shrimp & Grits special was so good. The three of us cleaned our plates and emptied our glasses.

Review by Michele, CT 12/24/20254.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
We sat in the bar section which we liked as it has a view although a lot of construction outside, I also think the bar had the best vibes of the restaurant. The bar lady was excellent as were our drinks. We found the breading on the clams very heavy and the sauce was salty, but everything was delicious. We're only in town for the holidays but would come here again on our next visit.

Great for classic fish and seafood dishes. Always get a great meal here. Staff are fantastic and it has a fun seaside atmosphere. Don't skip the cocktails or desserts đź‹đźŤ¸ We come every Friday and love it.

Review by Sam, Palm Coast 7/22/20254.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
The area is a bit of a construction zone right now, so parking not so easy. They have a fun nautical theme going on inside here and the service is friendly. The food is good and my fish seemed fresh and a good sized portion. The flavor was fine but I think more seating was needed. On the sides too. I did enjoy it though and would visit again.

Review by William, Palm Coast 6/16/20255.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
Visited for Father's Day and had a very good meal. The prime rib was excellent and the cobia was very tasty. Oysters were fresh and everything was cooked to perfection. We couldn't have had better service and the bar drinks completed the meal. This is a very nice restaurant in a great location.

Review by Savannah, Palm Coast 4/12/20255.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
We’ve been coming to The Anchor for years and its current setup of owners and staff is by far the best it’s been. Had the shrimp tacos last visit and they were amazing with a perfectly cooked shrimp 🍤 and delicious mango salsa and citrus aioli 🋠They also do some fantastic martinis now as well… they Key Lime pie dessert is yummy .

Review by Frances, Palm Coast 2/14/20255.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
The Anchor is our favorite place for seafood. We drive down at least twice a month for lunch and we find the food is consistent and always tasty. Seafood is well prepared and they have a good selection. Their sides and drinks are very good as well. Staff are the best and we like that it's an independent restaurant owned by locals.

Review by Ruth, Palm Coast 1/26/20255.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
We couldn't find fault in the food or service here at The Anchor on Saturday. The staff are tremendous and very friendly, and all of our dishes were delicious. I had a salmon special which was perfectly cooked and had a lovely sauce, and my husband had a platter that he loved. We also shared a key lime pie for dessert and enjoyed a delicious cocktail each. The decor has an old sea fairer theme and the staff make you feel right at home. We shall be back.

Review by Santa's Helper, Palm Coast 12/4/20245.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
The Anchor's new roof and refresh looks great and they are very much in the holiday spirit right now, with a delicious Christmas cocktail menu and some warming dishes for this chilly weather. Their soups are really good and I had an amazing grouper special with a Grand Manier sauce that was divine. The salted caramel white Russsian cocktail was a big pleaser. Service is friendly and they have some good prices for the quality.

We haven't been here for a very long time as it was declining, but after visiting this past weekend we left very impressed. our meals were delicious with everything was fresh and nicely presented. Our server was excellent and we enjoyed the atmopshere. So happy to see The Anchor transformed 👏🏼đź‹đźźđź¦€đźŤ¤

Review by The Ullrich's, SC 6/17/20245.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
The Anchor has been around for a while, and we always enjoy it when we are in town. The food is delicious and dependable and the staff are very friendly and inviting. It's a bit of a rusty / weathered old building with a fishing / nautical theme inside and is only steps from the beach. One of a few restaurants on the A1A that we look forward to visiting when we return to Flagler Beach.

Review by Kerry, Palm Coast 1/31/20244.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
Food was tasty and server was nice, but the food was slow coming out. Luckily we weren't in a rush as dinner took a long time to get through. I do recommend the Surf and Turf and they have some good Coconut Shrimp. It was on the pricey side and service could do with improving, but overall quite a good experience.

Review by Carol Gibbons, Palm Coast 12/12/20234.5.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
We dine there once a week. The food is consistent and cooked to order fresh. ( not that packaged frozen nonsense) The staff is both friendly and courteous and the drink specials are creative and generous. We send all new residents to the anchor. The atmosphere is seaside corney but perfect. You can’t beat it!
Highlight of visit: We love getting Brian and Corina they have never steered me wrong when trying a new item.

Review by Julian, Palm Coast 12/11/20235.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
The food here was so much better than I expected although the service needs to be friendlier and give more attention. I started with the Oysters which were fresh and tasted very good, and then for an entree I had the Lobster Mac & Cheese which was an amazing dish. Very flavorful, creamy, cheesy, and good sized lobster chunks. I also had an excellent Christmas style martini that was unique and delicious.
Highlight of visit: The Lobster Mac & Cheese may be a daily special, but if it's on the menu, I highly recommend it.




















The Anchor in Flagler Beach offers a consistently enjoyable seafood experience with dishes like shrimp scampi, juicy scallops, fresh oysters, and shrimp tacos featuring mango salsa and citrus aioli. Non-seafood options such as prime rib and steak with mushrooms also receive praise. Cocktails and martinis are well-crafted and complement the meal, while desserts like Key lime pie add a sweet finish. Service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, contributing to a lively atmosphere, especially near the bar. The nautical decor is charming, though somewhat dated, and seating could feel limited during busy times. Some guests note that fish flavors can be mild and certain fried items heavy, but the overall freshness and portion sizes remain satisfying. The Anchor combines good food and drinks with warm service in a central location.
