Anchors Away Family Restaurant

J’ai pris le plat de dégustation de fruits de mer frit.. je me suis dis c’est effroyable de faire frire des pétoncles.. c’était juste parfait! Panure légère, service ultra rapide, j’aurais pris plus de leur salade de chou! Haddock, pétoncle, calmar et crevette le tout servi sur frite! J’en avais trop avec une petite portion, les écureuils et mon chien se sont régalés avec les frites ;). Pensez à protéger votre plat, si vous mangez à l’extérieur, les écureuils viennent presque manger directement dans votre assiette 🤣.

Absolutely one the best seafood platter that I have had in a long time. The seafood was so fresh and delicious. And I can't forget about the staff, they were fantastic.

Such yummy food and very friendly staff! We had Chrissy and she was lovely. Ate donairs to start, my mom had the cabbage roll soup with biscuits that they make fresh, and I had the chicken fillet sandwich. The coleslaw was delicious too! Will definitely be back.

Nice little restaurant in a convenient location along the highway. Seafood platter was great but did not like the clams as they didn't have any fresh ones but had to use frozen ones. They where ok but not like fresh ones. Hard to have fresh when out of season. Would highly recommend as the staff was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. Will certainly be back when down this way again. Looking forward to try dessert next time as we had no room left for dessert after the big serving of Seafood we had. Very reasonably priced for what you get. Thanks for the great food and hospitality.Edited to say "Clams" not "Class"...sorry about that!!!...lol

We were searching for good fish and chips during a road trip along the South Shore. One we purposely went to ran out of haddock so we continued until we found Anchors Away just off the highway. We were not disappointed, haddock was fresh, flaky and coated with a light batter. Friendly efficient staff, generous portions and reasonably priced.

Have been coming by this restaurant for over 20 years, at one point it was named Thompson's. Name changed but great meals and ice cream stayed the same!

Great spot. The waitress who served us was fantastic. She was an example of what great customer service should be. Lots of options for dinner and has an IC cream shack attached to it for that added bonus. Will definately head that way again.

Knowing we were going to be coming through the area on our way to Yarmouth, we scouted out this place to stop in and grab some dinner. We called about an hour ahead, and the staff member who took our order was very lovely. When we arrived to pick up our food, you could tell it was a popular place - busy parking lot! Always a good sign. They do have a few cute little picnic tables to sit at outside. My husband had decided after we ordered that he wanted a coffee; so when I went to pay I asked if we could add a coffee to the order. The staff team said we could but it would be a few extra minutes - they brewed a fresh pot for him which was very thoughtful. My husband ordered a burger with fries and a Smartie flurry; I ordered the crispy chicken club wrap (I added some honey mustard) and a piece of coconut cream pie. I ordered the pie because 1) small diner pie is always the best and 2) it's the one thing I always get when it's on the menu - good judge of quality! My husband really enjoyed his burger, lots of great toppings and good flavour. He had tons of smarties in his flurry, he said almost TOO many (which isn't possible, let's be honest). I did sneak a bite and the ice cream they use is tasty! The chicken wrap was amazing - very generous size and everything was so fresh. Also - REAL bacon bits; I can't stress how important that is. I would go back for another one. But the pie. Oh man, the pie was delightful. I could take or leave the crust (this is true for most pie for me though), however you can tell it's homemade. But the filling was perfect, great texture and flavour and they add whipped cream and toasted coconut. We would definitely eat here again, as staff were friendly and helpful, food was great, and prices fair (our meals came to about $35). Our only suggestion is that perhaps marking the parking lot for take out or eat in would be helpful. We were only stopping to grab take out with our kayaks and utility trailer and two people parked behind us and went into the restaurant to eat. Sorry we don't have photos of the food; I was so hungry and it was so delicious!

We received a recommendation to stop here from the employee at the XTR gas station outside of Mahone Bay. We were not disappointed. The servings were huge and the food was tasty. Everything is priced reasonable and the staff is friendly. I ended up eating large plate of Donaire Poutine and whimpy burger which is you can see is lot of food.
