Reviews for Twin Anchors Restaurant & Tavern in Chicago, IL

The very best ribs, hands down in Chicago! The old fashions are amazing. I always enjoy my visit here and Mom had a great time... as well! Happy 90th Anniversary! Read more

Everything about this place was spot on. Ribs and wings were delectable. Our server Mary was the nicest person. We fell in love... and told her we wanted to take her home lol. We just kept ordering more food. The entire staff was super friendly and the otherguests were lovely to talk to while we waited for our table. Can't wait to come back here when we are in Chicago again! Read more

It can get very crowded at dinner, but I highly suggest coming here as a late lunch place. Walk half-way into the restaurant,... passed the bar to the host stand to get a table or put your name on the list. Great old fashioneds, onions rings are good andthe ribs are perfect. Go for the zesty/spicy sauce - it isn?t hot - it is flavorful. Read more

Iconic place with rich history for both my family and this restaurant. My mom grew up on North Park and came when dating my... dad in the 1950's. Now here I am, I've coming all my life. Now to the food-the only thing I have ever ordered here are theribs-original sauce. You get a choice of fries or baked potato,coleslaw, and of course a pickle. Tender, fall of the bone meat. The zesty sauce has a little more kick, darker, with a more vinegar taste. They used to serve pumpernickel bread, but sincethe pandemic they can't get it. It has been replaced with a pretzel bun. We went on a Saturday afternoon and actually didn'tneed to pay the $15 valet charge. We parked on North Ave heading West. Betty, one of the employees there, has been there over40 years. It's a gem of a place, and it won't disappoint. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars...it's a family favorite! Read more

Terrible. The ribs were dry and the whole meal was very salty. I asked for ribs cooked with sauce. Basted ribs!! But twin... anchors lied!! The cole slaw and cream spinach was terrible. One full rack of ribs was much smaller than the other. Read more

Casual and fun environment. Tried both the "Zesty" and "Prohibition" bbq sauces for my half-slab of ribs. I preferred the... Prohibition, which was sweet and mildly spicy. I would also recommend the Zesty Beans. Read more

Ordered delivery of ribs (prohibition sauce), beans (zesty) and onion rings and loved all of it. Really one of the best ribs I... had and the onion rings were wonderful. Read more

Rumoured to be an old favourite of Sinatra himself, and still true to that charm today! A neighbourhood bar feel, drawing... visitors from across Chicago with excellent ribs and even better seasonal cocktails. This was real Chicago at its best and ahighlight of my trip. Read more
