People who take the time to say negative things on a review suck and you are a dumbass. There are expected steps of service anywhere you go. If your not happy with that realization, you should go to McDonalds. The Anchor has always made me feel at home. I have been a local resident to Northern Kentucky my entire life and I cant say that about another restaurant. That idea exists elsewhere, this is mine. They have the best soup in town. At least 5 soups on the menu at anytime. I ask for so many crackers that I think they are free. My Grandmother always said "Eat some crackers. Itll fill your belly up." They have anything you could ever ask for. To reiterated , if you are a dumbass that walks into a grill and only see one greasy flattop, then your a dumbass. That means made to order, with flavor and time. Learn to have patience or go to McDs. Sailor Jerry said" Hard work aint cheap, and cheap work aint hard." I took my own time to write a good review. I put it in between two dumbasss. One is you, whom wrote a bad review The other is your friend. He thinks you are the dumbass because your wrote a bad review of impatience and he is a dumbass because he didnt get it either. Go to McDonalds or patiently wait for your turn. SET SAIL, FOR THE ANCHOR GRILL!!

This place is cash only and reeks of smoke. The food is a bit overpriced as well. The service was prompt and the food was cooked nicely. (More...) I had a grilled cheese sandwich (perfect), chili (I usually dont like anyones chili but this was thick and hearty with a nice flavor), and sweet tea (too sweet & a little stale, but I didnt want to switch drinks because I thought Id be charged another $2). My husband had a bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich on white toast, a coke, and an orange juice (he about died when he got his bill for $10). Our friend ordered the liver and onions (he will be returning for this plate), Mac and cheese (nice and creamy), and stewed tomatoes (he only took one bite). The place could use a bit of a face lift and the band in a box was out of order, but overall, the decor had the feel of an old diner that has survived the depression and several economic downturns. If youre looking for an old greasy spoon diner and dont mind the smell of smoke, youve come to the right place. Im also going to also give them kudos for having private parking in Mainstrasse.

The entire place was filled with belligerent drunks, yelling cursing and fighting. The service was slow, took an hour to order, the waitress was rude. When the food finally arrived it was burnt and so greasy it was un edible. The waitress never checked if we needed anything like refills and when we said something about not wanting the food due to quality reasons we was told there was nothing wrong with it and charged for everything even though nothing had been eaten. So we got charged 35 bucks for something we didnt even eat and threatened to call the cops on us if we refused to pay. Funny there was drunk guys sexually assaulting women and fights breaking out and management did nothing. There was roaches crawling around, the bathrooms were disgusting. This was our first time there and needless to say Ill never be back.

I visited the restaurant (one of a kind diner or dive) for lunch and the staff was friendly and attentive. I had the Anchor specialty Goetta omelette which was tasty. Its a local dish made of meat-and-grain sausage or mush of German inspiration that is popular in the greater Cincinnati area. It is primarily composed of ground meat, pin-head oats and spices. I also had a side of pancakes were large and very good. The cleanliness of the restaurant was excellent including the restrooms. Its conveniently situated just off the highway in what appears to be an older neighborhood. Its a refreshing change to the same old chain restaurants that litter the highways.

Upon entry of this iconic diner, youre immediately met with the inviting scent of coffee and Big Mamma fryin up bacon, right behind the 50s era sit down counter.(mostly original I believe.) The soft twang of Dolly Partons voice drifts though the air, and down the steps is a bit of local history. Quirky decor fantastically mashed together with homey diner booths and tables. There is even a band! A toy band box equipped with a Barbie groupie! If this hasnt sold you yet. The food is yummy and fresh. The only thing that changes here are our ages and the styles we ware. But there is always get next generation to take our place. This place is timeless.

My kind of place. It reminds me of being back in 1970s Brooklyn, especially when eating overnight. The hotcakes and sausage are my choice dish, with a side of hash browns, and a big OJ. Be careful: you will get the runs, but thats just part of the experience. Youll be happy when you run to the bowl. I know I was! Ill keep coming back to Anchor Grill as long as the food is good, the prices are cheap, and I have enough toilet paper.

Best Greasy Spoon on the planet! Barbie band , juke box, pinball : they have it all. Wait and cook staff are consumate, die hard professionals who take no grief and therefore make this a perfect spot to carb up and get your head together after a night clubbing or get to know that new friend over breakfast, brunch, or lunch the next day. You will not find anywhere that does gotta better. "Whats goetta?" you ask

Menu too big, but food is good. Service is average. Need to get with the times and offer the customer convenience of allowing credit card payments (its quite unreasonable to be frank. The building is in horrible condition and needs to be updated. (If youre ever selling the business Id be interested in cleaning this place up. Def needs new ownership to be saved.

Very basic diner fare. Breakfasts are five stars. Lunches are two stars. Fried chicken dinners on Sundays are five stars and so is the Thanksgiving turkey dinner, but it would be hard to recommend any other dinners. The ambience is genuine...for better or worse, you wont find a more real old style diner anywhere. The jukebox is the absolute best.

Good food, service is a crapshoot.. I waited for almost one hour for my order while I watched others who came in after almost finish their meals.. I recognize being busy, but there is no excuse for serving others before me and then acting like Im being a jerk when I say something about it to them..

The place is amazing, the staff is sweet, professional, and chill all the time. The food is always good. It has a personable feel that never makes you feel out of place. 5 out of 5 stars, would recommend for anyone looking for an amazing little dive bar diner

Arrived after 2am. Place filled with smoke, so we went to the non-smoking section and found a table. Never once were we greeted, so after 15 minutes, we left. The police officer at the table next to us said the food was good, but I wouldnt know.

Server was pleasant enough, but mistakes were made on the orders this time and the last time I was here. They need to add more Vegetarian/Vegan items to thier menu. Otherwise, its an interesting, quirky place, and I enjoy showing it to people.
