Reviews for Anchor Bar in Oswego, IL
The place itself looked great with lots of TVs and a large bar. The waitress we had was excellent and very attentive. Apps came... quick, but meals took awhile. The food was just flat out not very good. Wings were pricey and don?t hold a candle toRiverside?s just a couple of minutes away. 3 stars for the place and service. Would go back to grab a drink and catch a game.Definitely going elsewhere for food though! Read more
Second time I have eaten here and both were great! The first time my wife had the pecan salad and loved it, I had the bacon... burger, also good. I went again with a friend and the server recommended the roast beef. I ordered that with a side of wings. Idon't usually order roast beef as a sandwich but I am glad I tried it. I couldn't believe how tender it was. And the wings weregreat. Servers were friendly both times and they carry my favorite scotch! I am not a beer drinker but my friend was impressedwith the selection. Looking forward to trying out some of the other menu items. Read more
Apps came out fast and were good. It took 45 minutes to get our dinner to the table. It arrived cold and had to get sent back.... Mac and cheese burger was bland and uninspired. The dressings were minimal and quite sad. The pizza is awful, avoid at allcosts. Run of the mill sports bar with miserable food. Read more
Official Review from opening night ???? ... ***Update*** I reported no local brews ...well turns out they only print the... domestics on the menu and no one told us until yesterday that the beer selection is available by scanning the qr code. Yes theycarry obc and noon whistle beers ...BUT... COMPLETELY OUT . **** YOU SHOULDN'T RUN OUT OF A LOCAL BEER .. one guest commentedas a joke - it's right down the street you wanna get us some ? We will wait ???? Service was fantastic! The owner was great totalk to. The food was delicious. We had the pizza logs and boneless and traditional wings. Mac & Cheese Wings are good size ..the only reason for 4 stars... The sauces - could be a bit more robust & zesty. I tried 3 different sauces mild, medium andtheir hottest. One other side note ... Limited beer choices. Lots of domestics on draft and a Canadian beer as well. Read more

First impression is great. Service was awesome. My server James was delightful and on point. He recommended the buffalo chicken... sandwich. I ordered that and the pizza logs. The pizza logs were awesome! The chicken sandwich was good. The chicken was cookedperfectly. The buffalo sauce was a little too salty for my liking. The fries are eh. Be better if they had waffle fries or evenfresh cut fries. Overall definitely will recommend and revisit. Menu does have some good options. To try next time. Read more
I was blown away by the wings. I got the traditional w a bourbon honey. Excellent wings! The fries were so good. I got queso on... the side to dip & it was so good. I had a Miami Vice & the drink was so good. The pizza logs were fantastic. Great service! Wewent around dinner time. This is kid friendly. Such a great experience! Read more
I?ve been to Anchor 4 times since it opened. My family and I love it. The service is outstanding (our server?s were Andrea and... Abby) both were such sweet girls and gave us exceptional service. You could tell they genuinely like their jobs (which in thisday and age is rare). The food is always piping hot and cooked to perfection. We have never been disappointed with anythingwe?ve ordered. The management walks around to check on your experience. The drinks were great. The menu is big enough that youcan go several times and not have to order the same thing twice. 10/10 for me. Great add to Oswego-we?ll be back?.again andagain. Read more
