Anchor Inn , Armstrong

Last week while driving back from 'Revelstoke,' I happened to stop at Armstrong to grab a quick lunch and ended up trying this cool little restaurant 'Anchor Inn' situated in the heart of Armstrong. Large anchor painted on one of the walls of the restaurant quickly caught my attention and didn't fail to impress me. Anchor Inn offers interesting nautical ambience for sea lovers. It has an outdoor patio where food can be enjoyed on a nice summer evening. The food at Anchor Inn is quite good and satisfies the taste buds of those looking for reasonable portion of pastas , burgers or stir frys. If you like dry ribs, you will surely relish Anchor ribs as a starter which is basically pork rib tail ends tossed in Anchor Inn's special seasoned rib sauce. Although a bit pricey ( $ 8.95 CAD), Anchor Ribs are worth a try. Anchor Inn also offers a take-out option for those who like to grab food on run. All the wraps and sandwiches are served with our choice of fries, soup or salad. I also happened to try 'Baked Downrigger wrap' which was absolutely mouth watering. Wrap consisted of saut'eed red and green peppers,onions,rice,chicken and cheese rolled in tortilla,baked till crispy. I did not try entre'es but they looked quite interesting too like Drambuie prawns, Pork schnitzel,BBQ ribs and T-bone steak and were being served with fresh vegetables and our choice of potato( baked,mashed or fries) or rice pilaf or fettucini alfredo. If you are not feeling that hungry, Anchor Inn can delight you with one of its lighter meal options like a steak sandwich or seafood quesadillas.
