I went to The Warehouse and decided it go to the Anchor Raw Bar. I place my order (my usual) the fries with cheese and bacon. The young blonde guy took my order and was not paying attention so when I picked up my order it was wrong. I told him I did not order that and told him what I ordered. He became rude then threw the buzzer at me on the counter and went back to the kitchen. Very rude. I will definitely not purchase from there again.

Fish and chips is so greasy. The tarter sauce was sour and they told my husband they had Parmesan fries. They were extra greasy and salty but no parm fries. Tried to call to make complaint and nobody answered. This is 2nd time we got take out and could not eat 1st time either.

Stopped in today to have lunch with a friend. I’ve always gotten amazing service here but today was one of the worst experiences I’ve had. This was my fourth time here. Today the staff were not friendly and it felt like they didn’t really want to be bothered. In fact they never checked on us once we were there. Never brought waters to the table I had to ask twice for water. Our table ran out of paper towels they we had to ask a young man who was walking through our area. He was the only person who helped us. Last times I’ve been there it’s been the same wonderful waitress who says hi to you and checks on you. Makes you want to return. These ladies even say goodbye when we left. I won’t be back. If I could give a zero I would.

First of all, we purchased food from.The anchor but at the register. However, that's not good enough to sit in their area, and we were told not asked to leave "their* area. You waitstaff need to little bit more understanding and a lot less on their high horse. The lady that took our order was awesome the bartender that got me a to go box was very polite.

This was my first time here and the menu looked promising but the reviews are just OK, so I wanted to order something simple, so I got the shrimp po-boy and it was like something Dennys would serve. The shrimp were heavily breaded and almost burned. The shrimp tasted frozen but how would you know with all that breading?! The service was fine.

Oysters are good. Staff are nice. No fresh market catch available. No seafood tower. They didn’t have the Alabama white sauce for the calamari. Salmon nachos were not good. Half the things stated on the menu they don’t have.

This was a gem almost all of the places I visited to eat at. I did not know what to expect but when I got there I was pleasantly surprised. It's not a fancy place which makes it even better for you to come in with your jeans and your cowboy boots. My girlfriend and I sat at a table and enjoyed a beautiful meal that included calamari shrimps and I even had piece of her salmon. The wonderful waitresses made certain that I was taking care of. A special shout out to the young lady by the name of Carolyn I believe her name is if I mispronounced it I'm sorry it was either Carolyn or Caroline I had a problem with the fish tacos being too salty. She sore to it that it was returned and brought out again a new fresh order which was also salty. With no problem or delay she asked me was there anything else I would prefer. So I tried the shrimp taco and that hit the spot properly. It is great to have good customer service. She did provide this and without hesitation or delay. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who passes through the area. It is located within the building called the warehouse. What really got my interest is the alcohol beverage Van Winkle. This beverage is very pricey I only want myself it is not open and it's worth can be anywhere from $1,000 to 25,000 price. For the price of a shot of $60 was very reasonable. So that their bottle was nearly empty which tells me someone must have afforded it and I hope they enjoyed it. I like being ambience I enjoyed everything about this little small gem. I certainly will return upon my next visit. Thank you Carolyn for making my visit a yummy one and a great experience.

First time visiting this place. Atmosphere is nice and food was excellent. I will say the red headed bartender continued to take shots and was slurring her words by the time I left. Did not pay us any attention and was disappearing numerous times. I have been in the industry before and this is just not acceptable and is a liability. I would have loved to have given more than one star but the actions of the bartender have made it to where I can not.

While all the food is delicious, the crab cakes and grits are the best I’ve ever had. Employees are always smiling and sweet. Jade is an angel!

Money hungry bar with over priced drinks and will double charge your card. Be careful with this place. Pay cash if you can. They will rob you.

I ordered takeout. The food was good but I the order was incorrect. Fine. I ate it anyway and it was good. I ordered a flounder sandwich and a flounder plate. It was extremely difficult to get in touch with the restaurant to order.

Let me start by saying we have dined here more than any other restaurant in Greenville combined because we have never been disappointed... until tonight. We ordered the special which was seafood gumbo and it was one the most disappointing meals we've had to date. It was literally a cup of rice, maybe a 1/4 cup of tasteless roux with 4 or 5 baby shrimp, you know, the cheap frozen kind, and a few scattered tiny bits of sausage. That's it. Not even a piece of French bread to accompany it. If your going to charge a premium price you best provide a premium product! I was so mad my wife ate half of it while I was in the restroom other wise it would've been sent back! Come on Anchor, you can do better than that!

Prices have gone up, portions have become small and the great flavor of the shrimp poor boy is gone. Wet roll , tasteless sandwich. I will not return
