Great food and service. A shame they closed for now, I love their salmon 🫤

Go on Wednesday for trivia, Chris is the man and the food is good.

If I could give it zero stars I would but not because of the food or the employees. Most definitely because of the owner and the horrible management of this place. As a family member to someone who is considered a current employee, yet has absolutely no communication from the owner about if or when the restaurant will even reopen I will tell you that they were never even notified that it was being shut down. They had to go to the establishment and find out that it was closed. What kind of restaurant manager or owner does not communicate with the crew? I myself have so many years in restaurant management that I cannot wrap my head around how Schane Gross has gone from being a staple in Wichita to completely non-existent when it comes to her hard-working employees. I pray that this changes as I do not want to see this restaurant go to waste when it is such an important part of Wichita history.

Not sure why this place has a high avg. customer service is non existent.
Walked in, sign says “wait to be seated”. Not packed. No one acknowledged our existence for 5 minutes, despite seeing us. This is piss poor customer service. Unsurprisingly, will never return.
Walked out and went to Meddys.

owner apparently has a history of writing bad paychecks that bounce and then becomes abusive to staff who are understandably upset at the blatant wage theft.
just check their own posts and comments on here for proof.

Went for dinner with my husband. The cracked out host was running around looking for the server. We were sat after 10 standing at the front. There were about 5 tables in the whole place. After 15 min, a server came over to drop off water and immediately walked away. After another 10 min, we left out the back door and went to the The Public where the service was amazing and the food was spot on! Don't plan on going back to The Anchor again.

At will doesn't mean firing people because you can't afford to pay them after they've already done the work. I hope the EEOC and DOL have a good visit with you.

Used to be amazing, but has completely fallen apart. The owner treats employees terribly and even bounces their checks, and the food and service reflects it.
Honestly kind of sad, this was at one time one of the best spots in Wichita, but now it's a joke.

Don't work at this place. they don't pay their employees. Bad management!!!
Visited a few times. Seemed nice enough. I learned today (complete with screenshots) that she fired her employee because he would not work for free after their check bounced.
Not somewhere I will ever go again.

Oof. I love the anchor, before today. Never had a bad meal but today the burger was drier than a popcorn fart but weirdly on a bun that was soggy (ordered medium but cooked to an overdone that would bounce if dropped), the fries had been sitting under a heat lamp from lunch probs. Also, weirdly the whole restaurant was out of ketchup. The service... yikes. Never once checked in or asked how things were... even when dropping the check. Sat for almost an hour before our food came. Lastly, no soap in the bathroom. So, hopefully the staff is bringing their own to use before returning to work?? Overall, very disappointed, especially when it was always reliably excellent before.

Josh was awesome. I’m from Kentucky and love a great old fashioned. Josh made one that rivaled the best I’ve ever had. His suggestions were perfect on food and drinks. You can’t go wrong here. What an amazing spot!
