Review Anchors Away - Springfield

Avery Allen
1 word: phenomenal! Can't wait to go back for this yummy Cajun seafood delight! Prices were not bad either. We got 2 seafood entrees, one bottle of wine, and an appetizer for $88! I got the steam bag with snow crab legs, potatoes, and corn (highly recommend with the house seasonig) and my fiance got the gumbo which was also delicious. They had live music the Friday we were there which made the mood that much more wonderful. A new favorite spot indeed!

This is a great hidden gem downtown Springfield. Locally owned and operated with great friendly and courteous customer service. The prices are great and the food is delicious. The catfish portions are very generous and the catfish is high quality American catfish, not Swai. The fried oysters are amazing. Large tender juicy. There might be other places in town pretending to serve Cajun seafood but this place is the real deal!

For food, I would rate it a 3. I ordered the snow crab legs.. I'm not a very experienced crab leg, eater... but I've tried other crab that tasted better.. the marinade in the bag was good. We also got the alligator bites which we're good and piping hot when they came out, along with the crawfish which was okay to me.. Again,, I don't have much experience with seafood like this. I'd say, give it a try, for sure. There are plenty of food options, alcohol, and slot machines. (I don't gamble but it is available in a separate room) I'm also rating it 4 stars because our server was just amazing, friendly, very funny and attentive. I dont remember his name but I would go back. And his service made our experience there even better.

This is a very strange place. But in their defense we did go at a very off time in the afternoon. The food was great. I had fish tacos I think, and love them. The other meal was very appreciated and delicious. But when we arrived there was no one to be found and we thought maybe they weren't serving even though there was a welcoming sandwich sign in front that said they were open. Finally someone appeared and it seemed she'd begrudgingly told us to sit anywhere. She called from the far side of the restaurant to ask what we wanted to drink. Later she called from far away to ask if we were ready to order. I felt like we were really imposing on her by coming into eat there. I suspect their real income is from evening and the gaming room. And bar. Perhaps if you go at lunch time or in the evening you will have a great experience.

Food was fantastic, great daily deals during happy hour. Cannot wait to come back again. Nathan was a great Bartender/Waiter.

Best food I have in a while. My husband said it’s made red lobster look like McDonald’s. The wait was a little but well worth it for the food you can’t rush perfection so waiting isn’t an issue not everything can be out in two minutes and it shouldn’t be like that any way. Nicole was the only server there and she was amazing. Every dish they had coming out made us want to order more. I got the bag (crab legs clams and shrimp and no they don’t skimp on them I was pleasantly surprised at the amount in the bag)and my s/o got the fried lobster both were amazing and the fried alligator bites . We have dubbed this place our place meaning this is where we are going for our date nights when we can get away from the kids. If the owners read this Nicole and I’m sorry I didn’t get the two cooks names but they all need raises. They had food going out at good times ( kitchen was on point and it was busy) and Nicole was doing an amazing job and being the only one serving she stayed on top of all her tables. This is a must go to place in my opinion. We will be back for sure and can’t wait to try out some other dishes.

I never leave reviews but this place definitely deserved one. By far one of the best restaurants I have been too! The owner and Nathan are absolutely amazing and nice, and the food is out of this world! We live over 2 hours away and will be making the drive out for the food and service again soon! If you have a chance to check it out please do!

Went to early dinner and all the food was good. Only reason for 4 & not 5 stars was that the initial waitress seemed spacey (out of it) and took quite a while to come to our table and then bring drinks when we were the only customers in the place, but she did at least get our order correct (which we had doubts about).

This is a great local place. Always a little leery about getting seafood in the Midwest but this was really good. I had shrimp and others in our party had crawfish, fried oysters and shrimp and grits. This food rivaled anything I have had down south. Support local business.

This place is so awesome the food is so great and there isn't any place in this town that can match it. A must try for this place.

This is the second time in two weeks and was impressed yet again!!! My hubby and I decided to try something different and had the shrimp basket for an appetizer to share. Get the garlic fries!!! Soooo good and worth it! The shrimp had just the right amount of breading and cooked beautifully. My entree was Crawfish étouffée and I have said before and I will say it again. One bite and I literally travelled back to the French Quarter in Nola. It was rich in flavor and full of tender crawfish tails. You will not be dissatisfied! My hubby got the house steak which was cooked perfectly with homemade mash potatoes. When a restaurant can cook both steak and seafood perfectly, you know you have a winner! I think the Salmon will be next!

Laid back environment. Presentation is little messy but the food is delicious! Don't wear your favorite outfit 'cuz odds are your're guna get a little on ya... Prices are fair. Spices are great. Seafood bags are very good. Can't wait until they get a liquor license because the only thing this place is missing is a great cocktail with your food. Definitely comin' back!

Decided to try a new place here in down. Place is small. Seated about 40 people. We ordered the Cajun shrimps � and Cajun spiced mussels. Both were delicious. Beer was cold and the servicer was attentive. We will go back. I want to try the shrimp and grits.
