I grew up about 10 miles from The Anthony Wayne and it was a regular Saturday lunch stop with my father.  Great to get back.  They painted the building, which I wish they hadn't.  It used to be a nice woodsy deep brown.  Other than that it hasn't changed much in 30 years.  My burger tasted exactly as I remembered it.

The Anthony Wayne charcoal broils everything over a real fire.  Therein lies the difference.  My favorites are the steak sandwich, the burger topped with raw onion and red relish and the mixed grill - a cheeseburger topped with smoked ham.  Good charcoal broiled hotdogs, too.

The dining rooms are large, spread out, and early American.  In warm weather there are tables outside among the gardens.
