“ I've always gone to & enjoyed Ankars by East Brainerd Rd. The Hwy 58 store is just as good!! I would say even better when it comes to customer service. The Hwy 58 store made me feel, as if they were dedicated to my satisfaction! ”
“ Food was good and plentiful. The service at the register was fast but I'm guessing with it being the lunch hour the kitchen was swamped, making them a little behind. The restaurant has a good amount of seating but it did feel a little cramped but it didn't feel intrusive. ”
“ Enjoyed my lunch here today. I have been wanting a fafael from here. Not many places offer fafaels. The food was very good. I'm thankful that Ankars Restaurant is in the Harrison area. I decided to go through the drive through and the service was good and the wait wasn't to long. Thank you for the great food. It was yummy. Awesome. ”
