I have an anaphylactic food allergy and the owner was trying to serve me the same drink twice after I returned it due to an allergy to the garnish on the rim of the glass. Fortunately my husband and friends were watching the bar and realized I wasn’t getting a new drink but just a new glass they had poured the other drink into. Sadly, we wont be going back

ALLERGY WARNING DO NOT EAT AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT! If you do and you have allergies to anything, they can’t be trusted with your safety!Wish I could give them zero star review. We stopped in for dinner and a couple drinks. My friend is HIGHLY allergic to oranges. We ordered a couple of cocktails and told the server, that she was highly allergic to oranges and asked that they not garnish the glass with an orange slice. A few minutes later the server brings our drinks, both with oranges on the rim the glasses. We informed her that, she would need a new drink, as she is again, HIGHLY allergic to oranges. We watched as she returned to the bar top with the drink and informed the owner of the situation. As we watched from across the room, the owner took the orange off and handed it back to the server to bring back your table. We watched as the server refused to bring the drink back to our table. Then we watched the OWNER herself, take the glass, pour it into another glass and send the server back with the drink. The owner followed her to our table and tried to tell us that the server told her we just needed the garnish removed.Good thing my friend has an EpiPen or the owner would have sent us to the hospital.THIS OWNER SHOULD NOT WORK IN HOSPITALITY! So worried about the couple bucks she might lose, was more important than her customers life.

BBQ Ribs and steaks were cooked to perfection. Loaded mashed potatoes were really good, too. Definitely will go again...

The Boathouse went above and beyond. We were having a party and ordered pizzas for 1pm. I did not realize they didn't start pizza takeout till 4pm. They said no problem we can do that for you to pick up at 1pm. They are always accommodating and love their pizza.

The food by Anchored Sailors is amazing! Tacos were wonderful and the Ahoy Matey which has a full ribeye steak, spinach, onions, mushrooms and fettuccine was to die for and it could feed 2 people!

2nd visit. It was good, and what you would expect from a local establishment. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. While I didn't get pizza this time, I would recommend the pizza. The pizza was top 5 for me, a little $$, but darn good!

Not a fan of the newer owners. Their job seems to be drink and hang with the patrons. You will be in her live videos, and security cam photos without your consent, just to show how cool this place is like you're in high school?!? The service has been horrible whenever we have gone since the opening, and they don't have delivery or carry out. The food is okay but nothing to to write home about. They seem to be lacking quality meat so they cover it with sauces and cheese. So unless you want to sit and listen to a lot of yodeling and yellin without being able to have a conversation dont bother. There are many other options in town with better food.

Friendly staff and customers. I got a pizza that was cooked correctly at a busy time. Good place to watch football, or just have a couple beers.
