The Anchor Fish & Chips

About

Located at 302 13th Ave NE in Minneapolis, The Anchor Fish & Chips has established itself as a popular local destination for those seeking a classic pub experience. With a strong 4.7/5 rating based on over 2,800 reviews, the restaurant is frequently recognized for its namesake dish, which features generous portions of flaky cod encased in a light, crispy batter. Beyond the traditional fish and chips, the menu offers a variety of hearty comfort foods, including shepherd’s pie, poutine, meat pasties, and savory chowders, all served in a cozy, historic-feeling atmosphere. The service model at The Anchor is unique, requiring guests to order and pay at the counter before being seated. While this streamlined approach helps manage the flow of a busy, small-scale operation, it is a departure from traditional full-service dining. The pub also maintains a selection of beer on tap, including options like Guinness, which many patrons find to be the perfect accompaniment to their meal. While the restaurant is widely praised for the quality and consistency of its food, guests should be prepared for a casual, fast-paced environment where the focus remains squarely on delivering a reliable, authentic taste of traditional fish and chips in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis.
