Doris and I have been seeing and hearing about Anchors Aweigh Dive Bar in Deerfield Beach. On a recent visit to Boca Raton, Doris and I decided to stop in for a quick lunch at the Anchors Aweigh Dive Bar.  The location is tucked away across the street from the Deerfield Beach City Hall adjacent to the Dixie Highway overpass.  It is located right off Hillsboro Boulevard and or right off of Federal Highway.  We parked in the real public parking lot which was very large and had plenty of spots available. We entered from the rear of the bar and could not help but notice the outdoor covered seating area as well as a game room/man cave just to the right of the entrance. 

We took the first 2 available seats at the bar, and the bartender quickly acknowledged us and introduced herself.  She then took our drink orders and offered us lunch menus. Doris and I both ordered burgers. Doris had the Trew Bleu which is a ½ lb. all beef patty that is seasoned with Reaper Rub and topped with crumbled Bleu Cheese, lettuce, onion, and tomato. I ordered the DF Burger which is a ½ lb. all beef patty topped with Cheddar Cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.  Both burgers came out cooked perfectly to temp and were accompanied by pickles and deliciously seasoned fries. Fast forward a couple of days and again Doris and I were in the area for an event and on the way home, decided to stop in again for a nightcap and a small bite to eat. This visit we ordered one Burger to split and again it was absolutely delicious.  Gringo Trew’s and Bite Shack are both on point and really make Anchors Aweigh a great local place to nosh.

I can tell you firsthand that Gringo Trew’s and Bite Shack are both absolutely delicious. Doris and I will be returning soon. We had heard a rumor that the Gringo Trew’s is offering a TREWBAN sandwich which is their version of a Cuban sandwich.  They have sourced the bread. The Cuban bread is from a local bakery.  You can order it classic style with Swiss or Gringo style with Pepper Jack.  Anchors Aweigh Dive Bar is a really cool local bar that is quickly becoming the “in place” for the locals. With the addition of great American comfort food, the sky is the limit for this place. Don’t forget to let them know that their friends at SoFloDining sent you.
