We were on our way home from a trip along the NSW North Coast and decided to stop in the beautiful town of Urunga. While driving around, we spotted this restaurant perfectly positioned right on the river and decided to pop in to see if they had a table. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and more than happy to accommodate us.The service was quick and attentive, and the food was absolutely amazing with a great range of options to choose from. Everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavour — we honestly couldn’t fault a thing.We enjoyed the experience so much that we changed our plans and decided to stay on in the area. Accommodation in Urunga was limited due to peak holiday season, but that led us to The Lodge at Bellingen, which turned out to be an incredible spot on the coast and the perfect addition to our trip.We can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone passing through or staying in the area

Wouldn’t be a Urunga holiday without a meal at Anchors. Been for dinners in the past, which mere pretty good but for lunch.. it hits the spot.The team are all friendly, food was tasty and perfect location on the water.Coffees one of the best in town.The Salmon terrine was generous and delicious, the prawn and mango salad was light tangy and substantial.They had a fire years ago and the update, although minor has improved the layout and feel of the restaurant.Will be back for a breakfast before headed back home.Ok. Returned for breakfast and it was brilliant.Crab meat eggs Benedict and corned beef and potato hash hit the spot.

Service is excellent, so friendly and welcoming. The food delicious, fresh, with a wide range of options for meat/seafood lovers (less so for vegetarians but what I did have was excellent) decent sized portions, great atmosphere. It’s pricey, but for a special occasion it’s worth it. The kids’ menu is also very generous and top quality

I thought it would be cold but it the atmosphere was really great. Above and beyond service from Mary who took care of us all and had incredible knowledge about the dishes so I didn't have to double check the menu. Her bubbly personality made us feel so welcomed, great portions too! Wonderful food, will definitely be back again ✨️

I haven't been to dine in for many years, but I love their fish, the chips aren't the usual from most F&C shops. Even the fish CO-OP in Coffs Harbour is dismal in comparison. And the price is very reasonable for F&C. Back to the chips, they are like home cooked, crisp, cruchie and well done, the helpings are huge. I get Barramundi mostly but they have quite a good range. If you're passing Urunga and you like seafood, you can't go wrong with Anchors Wharf...😉😁👍

Great location and service. Celebrated my wife's birthday for lunch. We shared a mushroom arrachinhi which was excellent. A bottle Margaret River Semillon savugian blanc. Main were a seafood Mornay which was good but just a bit too much sauce. I had Red Emperor, again beautiful presentation but I found the sauce overpowering the flavour of the fish. We finished off with a shared lemon marang pie which was excellent and so were the coffees. It is well priced and we will return one day.

Hands down best seafood restaurant on the Mid North Coast! Absolutely loved it. It's all about the food. Being right on the river at sunset just topped it off. Friendly staff, great service, not stuffy. Great spot for families or something more romantic too. Worth travelling for food this good!

Incredible seafood restaurant, easily the best restaurant on the Mid North Coast (yes, big call) but it is perfection. The quality of the seafood is second to noneSip on a cool drink on the deck as you watch the sunset over the Kalang river. We enjoyed the tom yum scallops - huge, juicy, cooked perfectly. Then the surf and turf - tender seared scotch fillet topped with beautiful pieces of fish, scallops, half shell mussels, half a Balmain big, king prawns in a garlicky Mornay sauce.The perfect spot for a special occasion or a night out enjoying life's pleasures, be sure to visit if you're in this beautiful part of the world
