Twin Cities 2026 Fish Fry Guide: the Anchor Leads Minneapolis Dining Spotlight
Q1: Does The Anchor offer gluten-free fried fish?
A1: The standard beer-battered cod contains wheat flour and beer. The restaurant occasionally offers alternatives, but diners with severe gluten intolerance should check with staff beforehand due to shared fryers used for high-volume service.
Q2: Can diners order takeout during peak Friday fish specials?
A2: Yes, but takeout volume is capped during peak Friday dinner windows. Orders should be scheduled online as early as possible on Friday afternoon, as same-hour pickup times fill rapidly.
Q3: What parking options exist around the Northeast Minneapolis location?
A3: Parking is restricted to neighborhood street spaces along 13th Avenue NE and adjacent residential streets. Guests should plan an extra 10 minutes to locate street parking on Friday and Saturday evenings.
