Anthony's GrillB+Worth Trying

1622 St Michaels Dr, Santa Fe, NM 87505 · Asian fusion restaurant, Chicken wings restaurant, Chinese noodle restaurant · 4.8/5 Google (423 reviews)

Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating

Lively counter-service spot blending customizable Asian stir-fry with comforting soul food; generous portions, strong gluten-free options, occasional order mistakes and waits.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

Anthony's Grill delivers exceptional food quality with standout catfish, wings, and oxtails that earn genuine praise, supported by attentive, owner-engaged service. However, occasional consistency lapses—bland sauces, missing items during busy periods—and modest ambiance in a small, casual space prevent it from reaching higher territory. The playful Asian-soul fusion concept and strong customer loyalty position it as a competitive neighborhood favorite worth visiting.

Restaurant Summary

Tucked along St. Michael's, Anthony's Grill feels warm and welcoming, the kind of spot where the owner pops out of the kitchen to check on your meal. Reviewers describe plates landing hot and crisp, from catfish to wings, with one diner saying the fish was "hands-down the best" they have had. Service reads genuinely kind, and the vibe is cozy and casual with counter ordering and a few dine-in tables. The cooking blends customizable Asian stir-fry with Southern comforts, a playful fusion that suits groups with mixed tastes. Build-your-own bowls come with unlimited veggies, gluten-free bases, and sauces from Mongolian to Thai coconut, while soul-food plates like oxtails, collard greens, and hush puppies deliver big-crunch satisfaction. Most praise the freshness and portion sizes; a minority note occasional bland sauces or missing add-ons during busy spells. Families should find it friendly: kids can choose lo mein or fried rice, wings, orange or sesame chicken, and even chicken and waffles. Portions are generous and easy to share. There is no kids menu called out, but the menu includes many familiar flavors that conservative eaters can enjoy.
