The Anchor - Tampa

It's a lovely restaurant! The shrimp tacos are fantastic, and the oysters are amazing too.

This spot might not appear in any tourist guide, but it definitely deserves a mention. It's an iconic venue perfect for watching the game, unwinding after a long day, or simply finding a break from a house full of lingering guests. The food is outstanding, especially the Garlic Parmesan wings, and there's a wide selection of beers on tap.

This place serves some of the best bar food in the area. You can expect exactly what you’re looking for.

It was two of us and we ordered the $18 barbeque boneless chicken (20 pc). The chicken hit the spot of what we were looking for. It was well cooked, a little bit dry. Good flavor, did not need the blue cheese or ranch as the barbeque recipe held very well on its own. We also ordered a long island, which was well made and good strength. The inside is very nice and I enjoyed the crowd on a Monday night. Our server was clearly overworked, serving the entire place and bartending which was a shame to see. Although they tried claiming that boneless and bone in wings are priced the same And attempted to charge my card for $30 instead of menu $18 price while arguing with me until they realized either they were wrong or could no longer try to get $30. It could have been an honest mistake given they were overworked, but this gives insight on what one may experience here. I would definitely come back regardless as the price and quality of food and drink was quite a surprise, and bonus for being a very active Monday night joint.

Music was VERY loud. Chicken sandwich was VERY dry. Otherwise, we had a nice meal there.
