Highly recommend.
Highly recommend.
Very good food at very reasonable prices. Always great service. Worth a little drive time. Will be on our regular rotation.
Found Twisted Anchor with a google search. Boy am I glad I did. What a find! Drinks were spot on, appetizer (Mac n cheese bites) were hot and delicious. I had the smash burger, perfectly cooked! And my husband had the bone-in ribeye, also perfectly cooked, so tasty and tender! Our server was the best I’ve ever had, and the owner stopped by our table for a chat, and he was so friendly and informative. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Twisted Anchor is a hidden gem located at Harborside Marina in Wilmington, Illinois, offering a charming and relaxing atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Despite being in a quiet, out-of-the-way spot, it has earned a strong reputation for excellent food and friendly service. The restaurant is known for its fresh and delicious meals, with many dishes prepared with care and skill. The smoked meat, especially the smoked brisket and pulled pork, is praised for its perfection and tender, flavorful taste. The menu features a variety of options, including the smash burger, bone-in ribeye, pulled pork sliders, and a pulled pork sandwich, all cooked to perfection. The French fries are crispy and well-seasoned, and the garlic cheese curds are a standout favorite. The restaurant also offers a unique selection of BBQ sauces, such as habanero, house, and blueberry with cayenne pepper, providing a range of spicy and sweet flavors. Appetizers like Mac n cheese bites and the giant baked pretzel are highly recommended. The drinks are spot on, and the staff consistently receives praise for being friendly, attentive, and sometimes funny, creating a welcoming environment. The owner is also noted for being friendly and engaging with guests. Twisted Anchor’s atmosphere is enhanced by music, boat views, and a marina vibe, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy outstanding food, drinks, and a cozy setting that makes visitors eager to return.
