Serving
lunch and dinner 7 days from 11 am till late night. Menu includes Appe-teasers,
soup, salad, sandwiches, burgers, chicken, pizza, and
Southwestern. Dinner creations include seafood, beef, poultry,
pork, Italian specialties, and more. Meal prices range from $10-
$20. Children’s menu available. The Anchorage is one of the more
popular nightspots on the mainland. It is noted both for its bar
area and for its restaurant. However, the food is good and the
dining area is comfortable. The bar area is also nice, complete
with top 40 music and pool tables and is usually frequented by an
upscale crowd (or at least they think so). During the
summer the place transforms into an “anything goes” type of
joint, and is a lot more fun. Both young and old go here when it
is time to blow off a little steam or enjoy a quick and hearty
meal. Major credit cards accepted.

Gregory's
900 Shore Rd
Somers Point, NJ
(609) 927-6665
Located just across the 9th Street Bridge from Ocean City,
Gregory's has been family-owned and operated since 1946. It was
voted best by Atlantic City Magazine for Best Bar Menu, Best
Specials, Best Burgers, Best Place to Take a Cheap Date, and Best
Munchies. Gregory's is famous for its Taco Tues. & Thurs.,
which consists of two giant tacos for a dollar (Sept. - June), and
its 3 beers for $1 special, which takes place every Wednesday, all
night! The restaurant and bar, which is open seven days a week 11
a.m. until 2 a.m. serving lunch, dinner, munchies and cocktails,
has a smoke-free dining room separate from the main bar- both
rooms are air-conditioned during the summer months. Most meals
range in price from $10 - $20. Gregory’s most famous dish, aside
from the Taco Tuesday extravaganza, is difficult to pin down, as a
variety of unique specials change quite often. Gregory’s is an
interesting cross between a better-than-average restaurant and a
happening party spot. This is a popular spot for locals and during
the summer it becomes a zoo, as many visitors are aware of the
fantastic beer specials. During the evenings it makes for a good
restaurant/lounge type of atmosphere, until around 10 p.m. or so
when it transforms into a party station. It is dark, narrow and
fun in here.
