The Village Anchor

10/10 would recommend. The ambiance was so cool and neat. There were pictures on the ceiling, a beautiful outdoor patio that had its own charm and character.

The service was fantastic. Food came quickly. And the server provided wonderful suggestions. He was super friendly and fun.

The fooood = fantastic. Big portions. We got the chili cheese wontons and i could have eaten the entire appetizer myself. It was sooo delicious and a MUST HAVE! For my entree I ordered fish tacos, and i loved the fact that they weren't skimpy on the fish! I was able to substitute the chips with fries which I certainly am happy I did. Fries were even wonderful!

I will say - it is pretty expensive! For just one person = appetizer, entree and water to drink, it cost me almost $50.

Decided to do lunch here. I had my taste buds set on the fried chicken but didn't realize the lunch menu was different from the dinner menu so I instead tried the Corned Beef.

I have been here 3 days in the last week and each time the service experience was different. Overall no big complaints but nothing to rave about.

I think my best experience was when I sat at the bar. I ate shrimp and grits and had a sweet heat something cocktail.

My husband tried the Fried Chicken and it was great. Corned beef was delish too.

I was debating to give you a good review because I really don't want more people showing at this gem of a restaurant. But they sure do deserve it.

Great ambience, I feel like I am in Tahoe, and amazing food at a very reasonable price: the biscuit and gravy is great; the Reuben sandwich is phenomenal.

Beautiful place with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Menu was expensive, but the food was all unique and delicious. Server was friendly, did not have to wait on food long.

Such a beautiful restaurant in Louisville's luxurious Anchorage region! The ceiling is even decorated with framed artwork! The restroom decor is so homey & rustic.
As to the food- delicious!
Hot tea service rounded out the delicious breakfast! The blue cheese biscuit was delightful. I'm a picky scrambled eggs person- as I love homemade everything. These scrambled eggs were the real deal, not some kind of eggbeaters sheet. Bravo to The Village Anchor!

What a hidden gem this place is!!
This is a two story restaurant. Upscale and calmer upstairs area with a "speakeasy" bar/restaurant downstairs called "The Sea Hag"
Two Outside patios as well. All places equally fun and well staffed.
Our drinks were super tasty and the food, fresh, hot and served quickly!
Both levels have an old world charm, reflective of high quality and class in decor and ambiance from long ago.
Absolutely one of my top 5 favorites in Louisville!!

The Village Anchor remains a solid restaurant experience in a unique and inviting setting.

My most recent visit was for a double date night, and the setting proved perfect. Seated next to the roaring fire, we caught up over the several courses that we ordered. First up was the green chili wontons, which we all shared around. This is a staple at a number of local restaurants and did not disappoint here.

For my entree, I perseverated on a couple of options and finally went with the shrimp and grits. It was good, but I was a little disappointed by the portion size for the price. Too much fried okra was there as filler. I had ordered a mocktail to accompany - not something on the menu, but the bartender whipped it up specially at my request. It reminded me of a strawberry lemonade and was served in a nice glass so I didn't feel like a kid at the grownups table.

Our server took care of us, but I think she may have been stretched a bit thin because at a time or two I couldn't find her when I needed something. I don't fault her, it seems that many places are struggling at the moment to have good waitstaff. When she was with us, she was very present.

Overall we had a great time and this was the perfect place to catch up, just a bit more pricey than any of us remembered.

I visited The Village Anchor on 11/04/2023 at 12:30pm with a friend that lives in the area. I am from out of state.

What a charming, lovely and beautiful restaurant. It is located in the Anchorage area of the city. It is in a charming little "village" type area of shops and the building is beautiful both inside and out. They have a lovely outdoor patio; however, we opted to sit inside today.

Our server was very attentive, friendly and timely in everything that she did.

However, the food was just awesome. I had the meatloaf burger, which was a generous portion of meatloaf with sauteed onions, bacon, cheddar and an aioli. Yum! Instead of the regular fries, I replaced them with the sweet potato fries with marshmallow creme. This is not a thing where I am from; however, it is a thing here -- and it is downright delicious! Wow!

I had a great time, and would definitely return again the next time I visit Louisville.

We had a good time here at the village anchor when we went today. We went around the 12 o'clock had the lunch menu. Had some fish and fries and my family had a variety of salads and sandwiches and different variety of food. We all really enjoyed the atmosphere was nice service was spot on. She was a very kind server and provided every thing to meet our needs. I will definitely go back. It was good was good

Went to the Sea Hag (lower level) for $12 Tuesday. Includes a Entree & glass of wine or beer. Went at 5:30 and it was a 30 minute wait. You can tell they have some regulars. Server was friendly. Food was good but was advertised as a half rack of ribs (only received a quarter) and a full side of fries and baked beans (tiny cup of beans). The deal though is still good and tasted great.
