The Anchorage Tavern and Restaurant on Bay Avenue in Somers Point has been a South Jersey seafood and tavern institution since it opened, serving the fresh Atlantic seafood and scratch-made pub food that earns a coastal New Jersey community its go-to waterfront restaurant in a Shore town that takes its seafood seriously. It appeared in Season 22, Episode 5 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Roadtrippin’,” which aired February 27, 2015. Guy Fieri found a Somers Point seafood kitchen doing fresh Jersey Shore seafood and scratch-made tavern food with the quality and waterfront warmth that earns a neighborhood restaurant its destination reputation across Atlantic County.

What to Eat
The Fresh Jersey Shore Seafood Plates built around the Atlantic catch are the centerpiece — on the Jersey Shore, proximity to the boats matters and the difference shows at The Anchorage. The Crab Cakes with quality Atlantic crab are the coastal signature worth ordering on any first visit. The Clam Chowder with local clams in a cream base is the bowl worth ordering before the main plates arrive. The Tavern Pub Food — burgers, wings, and comfort food — keeps the non-seafood crowd at the table happy. Find a Jersey Shore hotel on Trivago.
