Morton and Virginia Chapman opened Anchor Grill in Covington in 1946. Today, the small neighborhood diner is run by their daughter, Carolyn Chapman. The menu still offers filling, home-town favorites like the goetta, lettuce and tomato sandwich ($4.25) and the rib-eye steak sandwich ($3.25). “You can’t beat the amount of food for the price,” says Kara Gebhart Uhl, a Fort Thomas resident and longtime patron. “I also enjoy the fact that the kitchen is completely open behind the bar. It really allows the restaurant’s patrons to interact with the cooks.”  Walk into Anchor Grill, and you’re immediately struck by sailing memorabilia and decorations. (Morton loved the sea; in fact, his nickname was “Captain.”) The kitchen is right through the door, along with a large counter to seat guests.
