The staff was friendly and we placed our order and found a table. The view of the water is beautiful. Our food arrived quickly and we enjoyed our meals: Fish tacos, chicken sandwich, and a Greek salad. We all agreed we will go back soon.

Always enjoy sitting on the deck over the lake at Anthony's. It's picnic tables and umbrellas which is great in the nice weather. We stopped in on a busy Saturday and we all got fried clams which were amazing! Choices were fries or onion rings and the rings were better. Definitely coming back next time we're at weirs beach.
