Anchor at Lakeside Bar & Grill

I miss the good old days! We ate here, in person all week long, at least 5x a week! Often more bc they even had a spectacular breakfast! This restaurant had the best anywhere all you can eat soup and salad bar! We travel extensively and never found anything comparable. They even had baby spinach and hot bacon dressing + scrumptious little bite sized desserts! Now,after the last few months, I give up on Lakeside. Even though I LOVE the skipper burgers & chips, it’s impossible for me to get take out service anymore. Nearly Every time I call-they refuse because: 1. They are too busy-they say this on the phone. 2. They shut down the grill early 3. Or, I called too late as the grill is always closed at 8:30 (vs 9pm) or earlier. I often cal just after 8pm and it’s shut down. 4. They aren’t open until 4 pm, so no lunch. When I was able to get food, I NEVER tipped less than $5, usually $8-$10 for a take out meal of $15-$30. BECAUSE I am so grateful!!! I don’t cook and this restraint is literally less than a 1/2 mile away. So, I don’t think they are black listing me specifically, The skipper burger on a GLUTEN-FREE bun is A++++! The ground beef was perfectly seasoned, and grilled to acomes with warm freshly homemade deep-fried chips that are also spectacular! The total was $13.49. Would we eat here 3x a week if they had delivery, we live a mile away. My only caution, & the reason I rated the atmosphere four stars was because the Tuesday night bingo was a bad experience for our family.
