Snow City Cafe is a popular and vibrant eatery in Anchorage, known for its creative breakfast and lunch offerings. Established in 1998 by local restaurateur Laile Fairbairn, the cafe has become an integral part of the city's food scene. The menu features delicious dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, reflecting the region's upbeat atmosphere.
Everything about the experience was impressive. From the hand-offs to the food itself, it all just felt so well-orchestrated for such a popular spot outside a major city. Yelp itself could probably use some work, as our app crashed during attempted a remote check-in attempt, but the terminal at the restaurant was flawless and our estimated wait time was accurate to the minute. Our server (Hana) was helpful and quick. I wish every super hyped restaurant could run this smoothly. Did I mention the food was delicious? The food was delicious.

This is a famous breakfast place in Anchorage. You can call in and get your name on the waiting list which is a great idea. Went there on a Sunday and it was really crowded. We literally waited almost 2 hours for a table.! Weather for breakfast, but really ate lunch. Went there for the crab Benedict and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely amazing. Huge portions, especially the hashbrowns. Dee was our server and she was amazing and incredibly cute. The hostess staff were incredibly patient, considering the stress of how crowded it was and how many people were waiting. They will call or text you when your name comes up if you leave your phone number.

I was recommended this place while in town. I have found the food in Anchorage to be hit or miss… This was a hit. I came in during a breakfast rush on a Friday. The wait was long, so I scoped out the counter area and when a couple people left, I grabbed a seat. The service was fast. They made me a delicious latte that was served quickly as I mulled over my breakfast choices. I chose the biscuits and gravy, hash browns, and a side of bacon. Even the orange they used as a garnish was delicious! The biscuits and gravy were a perfect texture and had a good amount of biscuit to gravy. The hashbrowns and bacon were both excellent. I had left leftovers and heated them up for lunch later in the day and the biscuits were still great!

Such a fun vibe! The staff here is incredible and super friendly. The food is top notch! If you are in Anchorage and looking for a breakfast/brunch spot.....make time to come. Get on the wait list or definately have time....we were here a couple of times during our week in Anchorage and saw up to 45-ish min of wait and other times just sat right down. We had coffees from here a few times and breakfast that was fresh and so tasty. The stuffed French toast with berries...I nearly licked the plate...we also got the egg Benny with a bonus stack that was just yummy Yummy Yummy! Every bite was tasty!

Snow City Café absolutely lives up to its reputation as Anchorage’s #1 brunch spot! I stopped in for breakfast and quickly realized why the place was packed so reservations are definitely the way to go. I sat at the counter and had the pleasure of being served by Deenju, who was fantastic in helping with selections (though, let’s be honest, when it comes to sticky buns, how much encouragement does one really need?). I tried the half-and-half Benedict, one classic and one with smoked salmon, and while both were delicious, the smoked salmon Benedict was hands-down my favorite. The sticky bun was a must, rich and gooey, and worth every bite. The hardest part of the morning was simply deciding what to order, because the entire menu looked incredible. The energy inside was upbeat, the service top-notch, and the food outstanding. If you’re in Anchorage, this place is a can’t-miss. I’d say it was love at first bite and the start of a beautiful friendship.

Great food, great Mimosas, and great atmosphere. Mariah was our favorite! ALWAYS smiling and so friendly and professional. She's an employee every company would dream to have. Take care of her- she's a keeper! Be prepared to wait. What many people I think didn't realize is when the bar opens up you can sit there first come - first served. We were on the list to wait at least an hour but as soon as the bar opened up we sat right down. We also got their delicious coffee while we waited as they also have a coffee bar in the waiting area. So far, the best place we've found for breakfast in Anchorage. I'm told during the summer there's a line around the block to get in so we got lucky coming in late September!

Food is absolutely delicious. It’s a popular breakfast place in town, and very busy. Would not recommend if you are looking for quick service. Got the polar bear dish with French toast and Canadian maple bacon.

Spenard Roadhouse is a vibrant and casual eatery that offers a diverse menu featuring dishes like Thai curry, burgers, and pizza. As part of Fairbairns Locally Grown Restaurants, the establishment is deeply involved in supporting the community by contributing to various organizations and local causes. The bar at Spenard Roadhouse boasts an impressive selection of small-batch bourbons and cocktails, including house-infused spirits.
We loved the atmosphere here. The playlist was good. It got louder when more people came in, but it was the buzz of everyone talking normally, not people hollering to be heard over the din. The staff was very nice. The drinks were delicious. I got the Rhubarbara Streisand and my wife got the Orange Sunryse with gin instead of whiskey. My wife got the Reindeer Scramble with tots. She said it was delicious. The eggs were seasoned. It was spicy, but not too spicy. She made a point to note how incredibly fresh all the produce is. I got the Veggie Benedict with a side of mac n cheese. Usually when they say pesto is an ingredient, you can barely taste it. Not this time!! And the mac n cheese.... omg chef's kiss!!! The sauce was creamy, the crumb on top was flavorful but without being too salty, the noodles were just right. I eat a lot of bennies and a LOT of mac n cheese. This was by far the BEST benny and the BEST mac n cheese I've ever had out. 1000/10 most highly recommend

After living in Anchorage for over 10 years, I finally tried Spenard Roadhouse on 27 June. I am kicking myself in the @$$ for not trying it out sooner. The staff were great and the food was amazing. We had calamari and beet carpaccio for appetizers and halibut & fries, shrimp & grits, salmon burger, regular burger, and strawberry shortcake to top off the meal. Everyone loved their food and we all will be visiting again soon.

Family friendly, looks small on the outside, but seems much bigger inside. And there are several places to sit. We went for dinner and were able to sit at the bar without a wait. They had great drink specials and food was out of this world!! SOO DELICIOUS!! By far my favorite restaurant on our trip to AK. The menu had a little bit of everything. I wished we were staying another night to eat here again.

I cannot eat at an establishment that has restrooms which smell worse than any gas station or hardware store or truck stop I have ever visited. The men’s room smells of 5 year old urine. If your cleaner is incapable of sanitizing the restrooms I cannot fathom what the kitchen looks like. If you could smell this review it would stank like a mix of a combo of a Poop cruise/Concert Porta poty/poorly cared for Animal shelter. Do better Spenard Roadhouse what happened to sanitary standards? I read your response. Very unlikely you haven’t heard the restrooms are disgusting, as a matter of fact multiple women I was with said the ladies room was also very bad. So not sure how you’re missing the message. Maybe walk in there some time and check for yourself. I wish you the best, but cleanliness counts.

Middle Way Cafe is an Anchorage original that offers a welcoming atmosphere filled with local art. Located near the Northern Lights Shopping Center, it's an ideal spot to visit during your day's adventures. The cafe provides baked goods, vegan options, and hot drinks while showcasing works by local artists. Although the wait time for food can be lengthy, the fresh organic ingredients and variety of vegan and gluten-free options are a big draw for many visitors.
The food here is excellent! I was only in town for one day but I went for dinner and then again the next morning. I got the vegan ruben and didn't think I would like it because I am not a fan of sauerkraut, but it was like melt in your mouth amazing!

Middle Way Cafe is a modern restaurant in that you irder your food at the register and then seat yourself. We ate there foe breakfast and if you ordered drip coffee or water, you serve yourself. When you are finished with your meal, you clean your own table by clearing your dishes. We had a group of 9 and the average report for the food was a 4 out of 5. I got the western omelet and it came with home fries and toast and it was $19.95 prior to tax. Overall, I would recommend and eat there again.

MUST try their GF DF carrot cake cupcakes. Amazing. Wait time On food and coffee will Be unreasonably long usually. Sometimes the food is super amazing and sometimes you’ll have to ask them to remake it. We’ve been coming here for 18 years and still love it even when it can be bad sometimes. In anchorage this is my favorite cafe as they have amazing options and the best hot beverages. However: the gluten free cookies and cupcakes and other treats they have are absolutely the best in town. They have different GF treats whenever we go. I love their selection. If only other places had such amazing gf treats. Not sure about their food options. Their matcha latte and coffee are just bomb. Service is either amazing and lovely or some atitude depending on who you get. We usually the the lovely people!

I am sick to my stomach and really hate to write these kind of reviews. I got a breakfast burrito from here this morning and as i was eating it something just tasted REALLY off and spoiled. I looked inside the burrito and immediately realized why as I pulled out a bunch of extremely old & spoiled avocados from my burrito (that I paid almost $22 for) very sad as I am so grossed out, they had to of known they put these avocados in my food as they were making it.

So many gluten free options! There were lots of gluten free baked goods. I tried the gf banana bread which was super tasty. They also had gf chocolate chip cookies, carrot cake, cupcakes, lemon bars, and strawberry jam bar. I had the tofu stack for breakfast (gf and vegan) which was very good. Would definitely come back!

Omg this place is everything! I was traveling in Anchorage for two weeks and ended up coming here at least 4 or 5 times — that’s how good it is. We mostly came for breakfast and lunch, and it quickly became a staple for us during our stay. As a vegetarian, I was so happy with how many options there were — not only plenty of choices, but everything felt fresh, healthy, and made with care. The food was consistently delicious every single time. The vibe of the café is also just perfect: cozy, cute, and modern without being pretentious. It’s the kind of place where you feel good hanging out for a while. The staff was always welcoming and kind, which made the experience even better. Honestly, I could not recommend Middle Way Café enough if you’re in Anchorage — whether you’re looking for a great meal, healthy options, or just a place to relax, this is the spot.

Middle away Cafe is fantastic. In terms of quality and quantity, you get what you pay for and more! In my experience, the food has always been better in-house than to-go order.

Brunch restaurant
Biscuitclub is a restaurant that serves biscuits and eggs as well as coffees and specialty drinks. The biscuits are made at home, and the eggs are great. The atmosphere of the restaurant is creative with colorful tables and decorations streaming down the adjacent hallway for ample seating.
Discovered this hidden gem thanks to a good friend’s recommendation—and I’m so glad I did! Heads up: Google Maps sends you to the wrong spot—it’s actually on the opposite side of Third Street, so keep your eyes peeled. The menu has a great variety, including plenty of vegetarian options, which is always a plus. When you walk in, you place your order and then head over to a cozy seating area across the main space. I grabbed an egg and cheese biscuit to go, and wow—what a treat. The biscuit was freshly baked that morning, and the eggs were cooked over-easy right in front of me. Simple, satisfying, and absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be back to try more!

This place serves coffee and biscuit-centric food, see the name. They also have soda by the can and bottled water. Located on the vack lower level of a strip mall-ish city block, they can be a bit difficult to find from the main touristy area, but thankfully, there was. Small sign on the front of the building directing us around back. There is inside seating and picnic benches out under the overhang if you'd like some fresh air. Decent view of a pay parking lot and the water to the north. The food was hot and good, I recommend the biscuits and gravy.
M A — Google review
The biscuits here were delicious. I had the La Bamba, which had green chiles and jalapenos, and was just the right level of spiciness balanced out with the sausage gravy. The location is a bit weird; it’s on the lower level of an old mall building and the interior stairways are blocked off, so you have to walk around to the loading dock area off of 3rd Street to find the main entrance. Seating is dispersed in the old mall hallways and on outdoor picnic tables by the loading dock. However it is well worth hunting down to enjoy the delicious biscuit meals! This place was very crowded and popular, but the staff were friendly and efficient, and I thought gave terrific service!
Benjamin K — Google review
First time here and it's a hole in the wall kind of place. The address on Google says 4th, but signs tell you to walk outside down the stairs to backside where they take orders. But leaving went up elevator and door on the 4th Ave was open, so going in can use elevator, walk past the tables to where the café is set up. They've used old hallway space and set up tables. So that's the environment. I got Benny and the Jets, and hubby got heartbreaker. When they came it looked like... That's it. But we couldn't finish either one, they were very tasty and filling. So if you're hungry this is good comfort food

Oh my gosh, this little establishment was absolutely fantabulous. We were going to our car in a parking lot after doing a little shopping on Main Street. There was a small strip of buildings adjacent to the parking lot and all we could see was the word biscuit… we had been talking about getting a good biscuit as soon as we arrived to Anchorage well this place is A++. The service was excellent. The décor was so inviting friendly and colorful. The staff was soooooo sweet and accommodating!! We loved every part of this BISCUIT CLUB… and did I mention… the BISCUITS…. awesome !!!!! my only disappointment was I did not get a T-shirt because there were none left in my size.☹️ but that just let me know for sure this place is great!!!

Bear Tooth Theatrepub in Anchorage, Alaska offers a unique experience by combining a full-service restaurant with a movie theater. The rustic and inviting ambiance sets the stage for an enjoyable night out or a dinner-and-movie date. The menu features delectable dishes, with hand-crafted pizzas being their specialty, made with fresh locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.
Great and friendly service. Very attentive staff and knowledgeable of the menu. The food quality was fantastic! We got the chicken wings and southwest eggrolls for apps and the Salmon Poke bowl. The fish was cooked to perfection and the sauces were addicting. I’m just bummed I live so far away from moose’s tooth. Definitely would go again when I come back to AK

We finally made it to Bear Tooth Theatrepub for breakfast, and wow—what an experience! I had the lemon blueberry pancakes and they were absolutely AMAZING—fluffy, full of flavor, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. Joe went for the biscuits and gravy, and they were just as delicious—hearty, savory, and packed with flavor. We both ordered coffee, and the staff went above and beyond by adding caramel syrup and whipped cream on top—a little extra touch that made it feel special. The service was warm, friendly, and fast, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. Highly recommend this spot for a great breakfast (or brunch!) in Anchorage. We’ll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!

I was pleasantly surprised how great the food was here. I'm visiting from Seattle and I thought it might be a little bit difficult to find great food in Anchorage because the price of food would be high. I had the pork pozole, the kale Caesar and a coconut flan. They were all great! And the service from Andrea was fantastic. The price was very reasonable

It’s pretty good. Highly recommend if your visiting or have somebody visiting. The better food is on the theatrepub side but the fancy food is on the grill side. Had a burger, it was pretty good. There has definitely been a change in the past few years, as the overall vibe feels very different. Overall, it feels more cookie cutter and less of the “Alaskan experience” it was before. I would say it’s less friendly to locals and more of a normal restaurant. Theater side is still pretty good though. I would give 3 1/2 stars if I could.

Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop is an upscale bakery in the heart of South Addition, one of Anchorage's oldest neighborhoods. The shop offers a wide variety of baked goods, breads, sandwiches, and savory treats that keep locals coming back for more. Using locally sourced produce, the bakery creates unique flavor combinations and even serves a highly acclaimed tofu banh mi sandwich.
This bakery truly delivers on its promise of quality. The pastries were incredibly fresh, and we loved that they use local organic flour and seasonal produce — you can really taste the difference! We tried a scone that was absolutely delicious — not overly sweet, just the right balance, and baked to perfection. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into each item. While it’s a little on the pricey side, the quality and ingredients make it well worth the treat. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates thoughtfully made baked goods!

Atmosphere – 3 stars The bakeshop has a cozy, rustic vibe but feels a bit cramped, especially when it’s busy—which seems to be most of the time. There are a few tables available, but I found the seating uncomfortable and the cleanliness lacking. There were noticeable crumbs on both the floor and tables, which took away from the overall experience. Service – 3 stars It’s a walk-up counter style setup, and while the staff was polite and moved fairly efficiently, there wasn’t much in terms of personal engagement. I asked if they had white milk, and they looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. After a bit of confusion, they finally figured out what I meant and told me I could get milk from the nearby coffee stand. Not rude, just a little unpolished. Food – 4 stars I got a ham and cheese sandwich that was pretty good—the bread was especially fresh. I also tried a chocolate chip cookie, which was really good. I added a blueberry crème cupcake to the mix—it was tasty, but a little hard to eat since it was chilled and the frosting was firm, almost brittle, and broke apart. Overall, the quality of the baked goods was solid, but the pricing felt a bit steep for what you get. Not sure if I’d go out of my way to return.

Lovely place with very good baked goods. Very good bread, sandwiches, cupcakes, cakes, chowders, you name it. We enjoy everything, too bad we’re leaving town today…. Hopefully we can order online in the future The bakery connects with That Feeling Co, a coffee shop, Johnny’s Produce where you can buy produce or have a smoothie , and La Bodega the wine shop Very convenient. Love this place

This is not just a simple bread shop. They offer hearty loaves, breakfast options, and desserts that actually feel worth it. The sausage and pepper focaccias are great, the breakfast sandwiches are incredible. The pecan and currant bread has a solid balance of sweet and nutty that works perfectly toasted with butter. Fire Island Bakery has a strong presence the moment you step inside. The space is clean, welcoming, and filled with the smell of fresh bread and pastries coming straight out of the ovens. One of the best parts is being able to see the bakers working in the background. Watching the process gives the place a sense of authenticity and you know the food is being made with care. On the sweeter side, the display case is filled with cupcakes and tarts. They are rich without being over the top and each one feels like it has been crafted with intention. Fire Island Bakery delivers consistency and quality across the board. Whether you want something quick with your morning coffee or you are stocking up on bread for the week, it is a spot that wont disappoint.

Great spot for breakfast, but the full breakfast menu is only available Wednesday through Sunday. On other days, they serve pastries and sandwiches. We tried the salmon sandwich, and it was delicious.

I had a lovely visit and everything I bought tasted amazing. Well made baked goods. There was a line, but it moved fast and employees asked for your order down the line to get you serviced faster by check out. Friendly and attentive staff. It’s also connected to a plant store called That Feeling Co. I had helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff to help me find what I needed.

Really AMAZING bakery and staff! I had heard about this place for so long, but never made it downtown! Really great discovery! Wonderful array of food, pastries, fresh baked breads, soups and sandwiches. Their cakes are amazing, but with this silly economy the larger sized ones are wayyyyy overpriced. Definitely recommend going during the week days! Weekends are swamped!!!

Excellent bakery. Baked fresh there. Many bread and pastries options along with sandwiches. Breakfast is only pastries. Only serve drip coffee but the shop right behind it in the same K Market serves specialty coffees. It was very busy by 10am on a weekday

South Restaurant + Coffeehouse is an urban-chic establishment in Anchorage, Alaska, offering a mix of New American dining, a bar, and a coffee cafe. It stands out for its more than 25 gin varietals, rotating local beer selection, and high-end cuisine. The restaurant's clean and modern atmosphere makes it an ideal stop at any time of day.
Picture it: peak tourist season, July in Alaska. It's a Saturday night and we need a reservation for 10 and no one is taking reservations. And then South came through! We had a great table in a private area. The service was on point - helpful, prompt, and professional. Let's get to the food -- the star of this experience. I'm a sucker to try French onion soup whenever possible but I'll also judge your establishment based on the quality of this dish and the French onion here is OUTSTANDING. The crab cakes with the poblano sauce were also unbelievably good. In fact, our table of 10 didn't have a dish that wasn't excellent. I'll be back if I'm back in town again.

Visiting my friend and popped in for breakfast. We went to the coffee first. We ordered a dirty chai and mocha. Because the coffee is freshly made expect a little wait time. The dirt chai was amazing. We then went over to dine. We were sat immediately. The server was very nice and accommodating. We ordered the death by bacon sandwich, Benedict with crab plus scallop cake and a single order of the sourdough pancake. The sourdough pancake was seriously unique. I loved that it was crepe like. You can taste a hint of sourdough. The death by bacon was extremely flavorful. The Benedict was amazing and the brioche bread it as served on was super soft. You won’t go wrong ordering any of these items.

Get on the Yelp waitlist before heading over to save time. The staff here are friendly and fast. We ordered the avocado toast with egg and bacon, plus the two eggs any style with a side of the pouch. For drinks, we tried the Kobuk Samovar tea and an espresso. The tea was a bit too heavy on cinnamon and sugar for my taste, but overall it was a good experience.

Jackie's Place Restaurant in Anchorage is a down-to-earth breakfast and lunch spot known for its build-your-own omelets with a variety of ingredients. Despite some initial slow service and minor issues with salty waffles, the overall experience at this favorite breakfast place was delightful. The attentive women staff ensured that coffee cups were regularly refilled, and the friendly service added to the enjoyable atmosphere.
This was our first stop on our first morning in Anchorage—just a short walk from our Airbnb—and it hit all the right notes. Jackie’s Place feels like stepping back in time in the best way possible. Cozy, welcoming, and clearly a local favorite. The menu is massive, and everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. I went with the country scramble, and it was exactly what I hoped it would be: hearty, flavorful, and generously portioned. Just good, honest comfort food done right. The service was excellent—friendly and attentive without rushing. I could tell this place runs on pride and regulars. I’m already thinking about what I’ll try next time. Old-school charm, great food, warm vibe—

The omelets have one slice of salty American cheese and made with maybe two eggs so it's paper thin. The filings were sad and barely warm, toast was over toasted but kudos to not being over buttered. No idea how this place has more than 4 stars. The waitress seemed like she had better places to be

I ordered the chicken fried steak with toast and over easy eggs. I received a cut of bone dry chicken fried steak with NO GRAVY, over hard eggs, and missing toast. The steak was so tough to cut and to chew that I couldn’t eat more than a couple bites. Hashbrowns were seared on top but soggy everywhere else as well. The woman on the phone was nice though. However I have never received such poor quality food & for a price tag of almost $20…. I would seriously recommend they start some quality control.

Jackie's Place Restaurant offers a cozy ambiance with friendly and warm service from the waitress, as always. The menu boasts a good variety of options to choose from, catering to diverse tastes. While most of the food was enjoyable, the steak was a little bit of a letdown, being overcooked and overly seasoned, which overshadowed the natural flavors of the meat. However, the eggs were expertly prepared and the spam was a delightful savory treat that satisfied my palate. Overall, Jackie's Place Restaurant is a decent cafe with a bustling crowd. Despite some misses in the food department, it's worth a try if you're in the area and looking for a comfortable spot to dine.

In my trip to Anchorage, this was the first place of dining that I genuinely felt like I was home. The waitresses and back of house alike are super friendly and charismatic. Coming at the perfect time and asking the right questions. The atmosphere has a lot of personality and just the way they executed things was smart and made it feel more personable. Hell even bringing a whole loaf of toasted white bread all perfectly buttered for a table of 6 instead of all of us getting a slice or two on each plate was a pleasant surprise for me. The food was fantastic. We all got omelettes and just packed with toppings that were cooked with a love you only get from home. This will be my regular breakfast every time I'm back here.
CalebTyson 2 — Google review
The waitress was nice, but that's the only good thing about this place. Took 45 minutes to get our food, only to have cold undercooked hashbrowns, the biscuits were dry and the gravy bland. My pancake was good, but it's really hard to mess that up. I ended up just eating my eggs and pancake. Not good. As we left the busser apologized to us as we were walking out, we didn't even complain to anyone, meaning they over heard us and still didn't offer to replace anything.

As a diner, this is the place is the for breakfast. Went there for just that! What really stick out for me was the service! What an A+!!! My coffee cup for example, was always full or topped off! Rare to find such coffee service now a days but thank you Jackie’s place for staying true to old ways of service! The atmosphere has just been updated it seems and has an at home feel! Classy place! The food was what you would hope for breakfast. It was good! The menu selection for breakfast is IMPRESSIVE! It is very well done, easy to read, and neat. I had the teriyaki beef a photo is in my post.

Simon & Seafort's Saloon & Grill, affectionately known as Simons, is a renowned restaurant in downtown Anchorage offering breathtaking views of the Alaska Range and Cook Inlet. Since its opening in 1978, it has become a local favorite with a loyal following. The menu features delectable aged steaks and fresh seafood, including signature dishes like Asiago-almond crusted scallops and Norton Sound Alaskan red king crab legs.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Memorable Dining Experience with a Touch of Nostalgia Simon & Seafort’s Saloon & Grill truly delivered a memorable dining experience. From the moment our party of five walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly, which set the tone for a great evening. The ambiance is something special — it carries a nostalgic 70s vibe with a touch of elegance that makes the space feel both classic and fancy. It’s the kind of place that transports you back in time, in the best way possible. I ordered the 16oz ribeye, and I have to say — it was cooked to absolute perfection. Juicy, flavorful, and expertly prepared. While the smashed potatoes didn’t quite hit the mark for me due to an unusual taste I couldn’t quite place, it didn’t take away from the overall meal. The rest of our group had a fantastic experience with dishes ranging from the fish and chips to some of the best hamburgers we’ve had in a while. One of the standout features of our evening was the window seating overlooking the water — it added a peaceful and scenic backdrop to our meal. Simon & Seafort’s is definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a unique and satisfying dining experience in Anchorage.

The security guard at the Museum of Natural History gave us a recommendation. So we arrived at your restaurant on the recommendation of Kelvin. From the time we were seated until the time we left the restaurant we were treated in nothing less than Grand fashion. Our waitress was attentive and helpful with offering recommendations on appetizers as well as entrees. Her recommendations were spot on. The calamari for an appetizer. The smoked Cherry single batch Bourbon drink as well as a blueberry mojito. They were mixed to perfection. The halibut cheeks as well as the black cod were cooked to perfection and definitely to our liking. The sides were absolutely delicious. Easily one of our better meals we had during our two-week stay in Alaska. We certainly appreciate the recommendation, we certainly appreciate the attentiveness of our server and the quality of the food served. We will definitely return when an Anchorage again

This was probably our best meal in Anchorage. We couldn’t get a reservation in the main room so we ate in the bar. It was a great option as we had a great view and a great server - Lacey! Don’t let the unpretentious front fool you. The Smoke&Bourbon drink was cool and delicious, and the beer and wine were great. The calamari was tasty albeit a bit heavy on the breading. Excellent crab stuffed halibut which was big enough to split! Really enjoyed the short walk to get here from downtown. This is not one to miss. VictorB

Amazing restaurant in Anchorage. If you can’t get a reservation, you can sit open seating in the bar which we did. A lot of seating in the bar, including overlooking the water. Get there early if you want those seats. Service in the bar area was excellent. The sourdough bread that came to the table was excellent. Our waitress was wonderful and the Caesar salad was very good. A lot of lemon in the Caesar dressing, but it really turned out well. Got the halibut cheeks and I’ve never had halibut this good. You could tell it was incredibly fresh and the texture was amazing as it was prepared perfectly.

Came here on a week day for early dinner, it was packed, so family and I had to take the Saloon area. While it was cozy, it was terribly noisy and busy. Food was ok, nothing special really, (the calamari was chewy), definitely overpriced. The drinks however were great, could’ve had more if the bar had more staff (again terribly busy), and our server was nice. Not worth the visit in my opinion, solid 3 stars.

Excellent place on the first floor of three-story office building. Weight staff and service was top-notch from the drink never running empty to the warm bread served before the meal.. beautiful views facing the harbor. There was four of us and we each ordered four different meals and the seafood was perfectly cooked.. I would highly recommend this place, but it is pricey.

I have visited several of the longstanding restaurants in downtown Anchorage, and this establishment distinguishes itself as a venue of genuine fine cuisine. The dishes were refined, flavorful, and thoughtfully composed, reflecting the expertise of a skilled chef. Service was exemplary, with our server, Andrew, providing attentive and professional care throughout the evening. The only shortcoming was the crème brûlée, which did not meet the same high standard as the rest of the meal. However, as it was graciously offered on a complimentary basis, this minor imperfection did not detract from the overall experience. The restaurant also offers a remarkable view, which enhanced the ambiance considerably. In sum, I was thoroughly pleased with the experience and would confidently recommend this restaurant as one of the premier dining options in downtown Anchorage!

6 of us were on a trip and looked online for a nice seafood restaurant. This place came promising, we tried booking. Not available for the same day. Still we went there for a dinner on a Wednesday. Place was full so we got our place near the bar. I will say I was not impressed as the online Google rating was. The table looked clean but needed a second touch. When ordering, they said we just ran out of that fish. Balance orders came. However, we had to ask and wait for the plates and cutlery. As to the calamari, it was more breadcrumbs and fried. On a positive note they helped us share food. All the issues maybe because of overwhelming busyness. Not a bad place to try.

The Hotel Captain Cook is a luxurious accommodation located in downtown Anchorage, offering sophisticated amenities such as a fitness center and an indoor pool. With 546 rooms spread across three buildings, including 96 suites, guests can enjoy stunning views of the Chugach Mountains and Cook Inlet. The hotel boasts several dining options, including the AAA Four Diamond fine dining restaurant, the Crows Nest, which offers exquisite cuisine and an extensive wine selection.
This hotel does a great job making one feel special. The front desk staff is very helpful and welcoming. If you have a large load of baggage, bellhops will assist you in bringing that to your room via the carts or by hand. Then when you get into the room, seeing “Welcome, Eric Castro…” on the screen feels fancy. I didn’t snap any pictures of it, but the athletic center is outstanding. You’ll check-in in an outer room where the manager will inform you of the rules and show you the layout. The separate men’s section has lockers, showers, a shaving room with six sinks loaded with facial supplies. Then the gym itself is replete with high quality equipment. The dumbbells range from 5-100# with plenty of solid benches to use. The cable machines are Cybex and kept in great shape. I hope to return again very soon!

Location is great. It's right in the middle of downtown, so there's tons of stuff to do. The hotel itself is dated. Rooms are average. The big problem is it's RIGHT on the busiest street in Anchorage, so traffic noise is hell. Also they apparently already had the AC shut down for winter. My room was uncomfortably warm. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it below 75 degrees. Unless you MUST be downtown, I'd recommend looking elsewhere

A Stay Filled with Kindness and Grace. I recently stayed at this hotel with my dear friend of over thirty years, who is in the advanced stages of muscular dystrophy. This trip was meant to be a small but meaningful getaway — a chance for us to rest and share time together — and the staff made it truly special. From check-in to checkout, everyone was friendly and professional, but Ross, the Front Desk Manager, stood out in an extraordinary way. He arranged for fresh roses to be waiting in our room and extended a late checkout so my friend could rest comfortably before our departure. Those small gestures turned an ordinary hotel stay into something deeply memorable. I’ve stayed here several times over the years, but this visit touched me most. The compassion and quiet care shown reminded me that real hospitality is about seeing people and meeting them where they are. Heartfelt thanks to Ross and the entire team — you created a memory we will both treasure.

Great hotel from a bygone era. It's very classy - with nice dark woods, and feels like you're stepping back in time, while at the same time not feeling old/stale.

The check-in was smooth and easy. The desk clerks were super helpful and pleasant. The only odd thing we had happen was a maid trying to come into our room at 8AM while we're were all asleep. She said she was going to check the room. This was weird to us. It was so early for her to be trying to check rooms. Other than that, it was an awesome place to stay and decorated beautifully! Beds were SUPER comfortable and rooms were a great size with everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is older, but clean. We were on a cruise/land tour and this was our first night. Our room was clean and everything worked. The location is good, its right in the middle of everything so nothing is too far of a walk. Liquor store right across the street if you need to get something for a cruise carry on. Our only complaint is we asked for some more tea/coffee for our room and were told it would be there shortly, and it never showed up. There is a nice fitness area, pool and dry/wet sauna with lockers at the very bottom level that is included with your stay.

This is a great spot to eat for quality food, vibes, etc. I kinda wish they had more to their menu but they still offer great food. Their burger is one of their best options (I’m sure their salmon is better I just haven’t tried it). What really makes them great is they have a high quality dessert! I feel I can never find a good dessert at a restaurant because it’s always some dry crusty cookie/cake with corn syrupy ice cream. Jack Sprat has a great chocolate olive oil cake with mascarpone! It’s perfect and would definitely get again.

Worth the 2nd attempt for sure and would love to come again. Prices were fair as well.

I feel as though the breakfast might be good but the meatloaf from the evening menu was lackluster at best. I didn't get sick but you know when you eat something and your body tells you that it was a mistake, well that's what I experienced here. Kriner's Diner is nothing special and can easily be skipped. I would rather eat at a chain diner like Denny's than Kriner's. Please skip this restaurant, save your money for something that at least tastes better if not makes you feel good.

July 15th, 2025 Used to enjoy eating here. Good time the meal was bland. Mashed potatoes and gravy had sausage in it, but that isn't mentioned on the menu. I don't eat pork. They made another Mashed potatoes and gravy for me but it tasted terrible. That's my last time eating there.

The place doesn't look like much from the outside, we almost didn't go in because it looked like it might not be open. However, we were very happy we did because the food inside was excellent. We ordered breakfast food for lunch and everything was very good and very large servings. The service was also very good and it looks much better inside. We have already told several people about what a great experience we had here. We will be back.

Kava's Pancake House in Anchorage is a must-visit for brunch enthusiasts, offering an array of unique and hearty dishes that truly deliver on flavor and value. Known for its generous portions, this cozy eatery features standout items like the indulgent stuffed French toast and savory breakfast fried rice. Conveniently located near Louis Pena Field with ample parking, Kava's provides a warm atmosphere complemented by friendly staff who make every visit enjoyable.
Going out to eat at 8pm, I usually expect tired and annoyed workers and sub par food. Not the case at Kava’s. The servers were absolutely lovely. The food portion was great, price point was great. Perfectly crispy bacon. My dinner partner said they had the best French toast of their life! Thank you guys, I will definitely be back! 💕

This is probably the best breakfast deal in the entire state. Our skillet orders came with a side of toast or pancakes. We choose pancakes, expecting 1 pancake. When our order arrived there was a short stack of pancakes on the side. I asked if it was a mistake and/or, if this was meant to be shared between us. "Oh no," exclaimed our server, " you both get a short stack. Why do you think so many people keep coming back!? They are good pancakes!" She wasn't wrong. I'm a bit of a pancake snob and I have to say one bite from this short stack and I was instantly transported back to my childhood and flooded with memories of sitting at Mama's (my grandmother's) table with my siblings and cousins excited to spend a weekend morning in her presence and with one another. I will definitely come back to this spot!

Went to Kava with my family for breakfast. The reindeer sausage was flavorful and didn’t taste overly processed, which was a pleasant surprise. The waffle and French toast were a bit on the dry side, but the pancakes were a standout...fluffy and delicious. We also appreciated that they offered sugar-free syrup. Service was ok, not great, but not bad either. Overall, and ok spot for a family breakfast.

This place is amazeballs. This is my third trip visiting my friend and each time I come I come here. This time around I ordered the deluxe loco moco and my friend ordered the biscuits with gravy. Mine came with a side of pancakes. Let me just say…the deluxe loco moco was so freaking good. The portion size is incredible. My friend and I probably could have just ate that together. It’s very flavorful but simple dish. You will not go wrong ordering any of the loco mocos. The PANCAKES!! You get 3 pancakes!!! They were heavenly. I hate I couldn’t finish them all. My friends enjoyed her biscuits with gravy as well. Lastly I ordered the mango cake to go and OMG…don’t pass it up. Super light and refreshing. 10/10 would recommend again and again

Mahalo to Kava’s which has a Hawaiian twist to breakfast. The menu had a plentiful list of choices to choose from. I ordered the Reindeer Sausage Breakfast Platter. It was delectable. They fried the Hash the way I like it. Extra Crispy. The eggs complimented the flavors of the sausage quite perfectly. We had a party of 20 and they were able to accommodate quite effortlessly. They also serve lunch and dinner. So whether you’re an early bird or looking for a pleasant meal for lunch or dinner coast by Kava’s and enjoy an establishment with Hawaiian style meals that entertains your tastebuds.

First and only time visiting this establishment. The food was ok. That is the best past. Now for the rest: coffee was bitter and undrinkable. The place is rundown and dirty. The bathroom is gross with a toilet that hardly flushed. The service, what service? Waited and waited for anyone to greet us after being seated. Finally brought us coffee, but forgot about the creamer until we asked for it again when the food finally came. The server never came to check on us and at the end we had to ask for a check after waiting for her to notice we had been done for quite some time. I would give this place zero stars. Check out Southside Grill for breakfast. Skip this place. PS my husband says if you show up in your military uniform you get better service.

This place was an easy win for us! Right off the main road, it has plenty of parking with a stunning view across the street of the Chugach Mountains! The prices seemed steep until we got our almost overflowing plates. Wow! I took home half my chorizo fried, the amount of which I would have had to pay $20 for anywhere else. The pancakes are a knock-out win. So buttery and delicious. Giving 4 stars for atmosphere because one employee was loudly airing out some personal issues and it was slightly distracting for us. But truly would eat here every day if I was a local!!

Gwennie's Old Alaska Restaurant offers a taste of the past with its home cooking and all-day breakfasts, served in a cozy eatery adorned with knickknacks, native art, and vintage photographs. Located in the Spenard area of Anchorage, this restaurant has been a go-to spot for over 30 years. The menu features classic favorites like golden deep-fried chicken served with sides just like Mom used to make.

A must visit. Fox News is on. The bartender was the best. She made me feel welcome and was just a gem! Order breakfast- it is the way to go. All other guests were locals so their conversation was so fun to listen to. Highly recommend for a true old school Alaskan experience. I know they voted for the idiot in power and I still ate there- bringing the true diversity this place needed. The only way we can change is to talk. And that is what I did here. Great place!

I really really wanted to love this place. But ultimately it’s meh. Let’s start with pros. The menu does have a lot of options allowing picky eaters to find their groove. The staff was very kind and the decor was nice to look at especially while waiting. I did Ike that they had a nice sized waiting area especially with it being cold. The food was not bad and the coffeee was good!! No the cons… the building was not in the best shape some areas looked as though it was falling apart. The food was very bland with not much flavor at all. It was very very similar to ihop actually. The burger was the best thing we had.

What a breakfast! The cool Alaska theme with history throughout is really cool, and the people working there are impressively nice. Our server was on point and knew the menu cold.

Interesting little spot we visited where the breakfast is all day long and rated well! Spent lunch there and had the reindeer sausage breakfast and the lunch special - corned beef. The food was good, nothing to complain about and as you would expect. The service was good - knowledgeable staff that know a lot of the regulars! The atmosphere is extremely old school kind of like a western saloon/tavern. There is a dining area and a small bar area. Prices were reasonable. There is plenty of parking and public transit outside.

Bakery
The Bake Shop is a popular seasonal bakery known for its artistic flair and delicious offerings. For over 40 years, it has been a go-to spot for fresh bread, mouthwatering cinnamon rolls, and various breakfast options such as sourdough pancakes made with historic Alaskan sourdough from the Gold Rush Era.
We went a week ago on our way to Homer. We heard the bakery was good so we decided to try it. It is about 10 minutes off the highway. Head up the road past the mercantile shop on the left ( it is about 3-5 minutes after you see the mercantile- head straight). Where the road tees take a left then a right. The place is an order at the counter and they bring it out. There was a line but it moved quick. Even though it was raining we easily got a seat. We split the egg sandwich. My wife does not like sourdough but she raved about this sandwich. On our way back from Seward today after our Homer stop, 4 days later we went for lunch. We both got a cup of soup and sandwich. We thought half sandwich and cup of soup. But it is cup and whole sandwich. Food was great but we could have split it. Service great. Organization great. Clean and relaxing. Would highly recommend if in the area. The picture is of my wife’s cup and sandwich. Navy bean and pastrami. I got pastrami and mushroom. All good.

The rolls everyone raves about are delicious and massive, but they are not really cinnamon rolls. They resemble a Euro-style egg/yeast bread with some raisins scattered in. The icing is light, lemony even, but not thick or oozy. Even the menu board refers to a Sweet Roll or a bun with butter. We came in thinking we were getting cinnamon rolls, surprise! Nope. But worth trying with a hot beverage. The rest of the menu that we didn’t get to try looks really good, prices decent. Loud, boisterous, energetic place. Servers working hard.

Fantastic breakfast selection!! Most delicious sweet roll ever--like a cinnamon roll but with a few raisins, sliced almonds and a sweet glaze . Super !

Place looks cute and has good rating but food was extremely sub par. I had the breakfast sandwich and it was the smallest driest sandwich I’ve ever had. 2 pieces of bacon, one egg, and one piece of cheese on a burnt piece of sourdough bread for 16 bucks. Would’ve rather ate gas station sushi for breakfast. Other options looked more appealing there but I wouldn’t recommend eating here

I love this place and will continue to support it but I want to point out a few disappointments that (when you have time) to address. #1 - every time I have ordered sourdough pancakes they've been absolutely the most unique ever. Not last Sunday -- they were not very sour tasting and not as fluffy and stretchy as I have always had since 1978 when Werner watched over everything. I made a point to tell a worker about it and a manager heard me and explained that sourdough is temperamental - sometimes stronger than other batches.(I have never found this before) but OK I'll accept that and just hope for a better batch next time. #2 We purchased a loaf of their bread and found that it seemed to have changed recipes or something. It was NOT as airy, yeasty, bubbly as I recall which has always set it apart from anything else locally produced. I do hope that you will read this review and take note. That's it from me. thanks, Pete

The diner offers a diverse brunch menu catering to all appetites and food preferences, featuring traditional breakfast options, build-your-own omelets, and a huge breakfast burrito. Unique items like reindeer sausage add a flavorful twist to the dining experience.
Wonderful place to get a simple breakfast or lunch. Staff was friendly and we where seated fast. The food was comforting and delicious. The strawberry rhubarb jam was especially yummy, and upon asking about it we learned it's made in house. Definatly worth comming back to try more of the menu.

Basically what you would expect for a diner. Nice style clean quintessential diner feel. All day breakfast served until 10 at night and they have shakes and adult beverages as well. Our breakfast burrito was great, on par with many breakfast burritos I've had at Mexican restaurants. I was happily surprised. The sauce was ok and they had Tabasco and other hot sauces at the table. The burger was solid. Better than some of the other places I've tried in Anchorage already. I would get it again. My only gripe is that it is a little pricey especially the malts I found to be a little too expensive but it was certainly good. I would have preferred more shake and less whipped cream but hey. I would leave a 4 star but they were fast efficient and clean and food was cooked great so only issue is with price. Maybe they could consider a happy hour for the Malts and shakes.

Such quick service I forgot to take pictures of the meals : / A blast from the past that stays true to the menu options as well serving up seriously satisfying diner fare. I'm a tourist visiting a local here & I can see it being the local favorite but a must-stop for anyone on the road. From the moment you pull up, the retro architecture is a nostalgic movie classic look. Literally right off the side of the road - for tight schedule. Expect quick fast & hardly options. Think classic diner staples done right, from fluffy pancakes to juicy burgers. And of course, no diner experience is complete w/o the sweet stuff. Their choices are classics as well... The malts & shakes are about as old fashioned as you can get; absolute perfection – thick & creamy (save room)!

I can not say anything but great things about Midnight Sun Cafe. We, like other visitors, had first tried a different popular breakfast spot but which had hour+ long wait time. And for us, we did not want to wait that long. So we popped into this cafe. Its no frills serving good food, and good coffee. Service was really attentive. And sometimes you make a new friend. We met a lady that was on her way to exercise the YMCA. She shared some stories with us about living in Anchorage.

Stopped in before a hike to grab a quick bite. It was very busy and there seemed to be some training with new staff. We ordered sausage and egg bagel sandwiches. We were asked to pick out our bagels. We ordered a drink as well. We asked for the items to-go and planned on eating in the truck before our hike. It took quite awhile to receive the sandwiches, I walked up to the counter to make sure our order didn't get looked over. About 5 minutes later we recieved our sandwiches, they were not wrapped to-go, not an issue, counter staff offered to wrap them. We did not receive the Bagels I picked out, wrong kind of cheese and the bagels were slightly burnt. About an hour into our hike we both had some tummy issues, assuming it was the sandwiches. We may wait until seasonal staff is trained and try to go earlier to avoid crowds.

The two ladies that were working were very nice. Answered any questions that I or the other people in my party had. I opted for the ham and Brie Panini which was really good. For your side you can opt for chips or carrot sticks or half and half. A nice little option when someone wouldn't prefer something besides chips. Would recommend.

I work in the downtown area and frequently eat out for breakfast and lunch. I have been a loyal patron to Midnight Sun for many years, today that officially ends. From poor management, inconsistent quality and service over years I think it is time for me to throw in the towel. At this point I truly don't believe they are even making an effort, they just cash in on the fact that they're one of the only 'grab and go' cafes downtown. Good luck getting anything you order with consistent quality, and heaven forbid you need it in a timely manner. What's even crazier is that it doesn't matter whether or not you order online or call it. It is absolutely appalling and I will not be giving them another dime of my money.

Harley's Old Thyme Cafe is a family-owned establishment that serves classic American breakfasts and traditional home-style dishes, such as chicken-fried steak and catfish. Although the restaurant may appear somewhat worn-out, it still maintains a decent atmosphere. The food is reasonably priced, with options like two bacon strips, one egg, 1 1/2 pieces of toast, and a crispy hash brown for only $8.
Went for breakfast on a Saturday. Seems like its owned by a local family and that come through in the warm atmosphere. food was good chicken fried steak was huge and it wasn't super expensive. The only thing was service was a little slow, but they where very busy when i went there and they got my food out quickly once I ordered all and all would go again.

Service is big deal for me it was seat yourself, everyone was friendly and seemed happy to be here. That's nice to see. Only reason not 5 star for food was gravy needs little more flavor. Otherwise it was delicious Chicken fried steak was huge and I didn't even get close to half. It was made from scratch. Side biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was so light and fluffy, wish I knew how to make these. Hash browns are just the way I like crunchy on outside. Eggs were perfect Eggs Benedict were also delicious, seems like the muffin was homemade also nice and light. EVERY tray that came out was HUGE next time we will share a dish and no coffee first maybe we'll finish it.

Good spot for breakfast. I recommend going for the more flavorful and unique breakfast options rather than a traditional eggs, bacon and pancakes. They don't use real butter for the pancakes and the margarine is kinda bland. Bacon is okay - nothing special. My husband got the country fried pork, which was great. My daughter got the chorizo scrambled eggs and those were great-super flavorful. Just stay away from the more boring standard breakfasts.

I ordered the country bumpkin with fried pork loin and my wife ordered the sourdough pancakes -- and she asked if pecans could be added, which they were happy to do. I rarely order anything called "country fried..." anything because all too often they are bland. But these fried pork loins were excellent. The sourdough pancakes were delicious with the good hint of sourdough goodness without being overpowered. I was disappointed by how long it took our order to come out -- several tables around us received their food before us and the staff said it was because their orders were easier. This is probably true -- but still -- the wait was too excessive. I guess they didn't have the fryer hot yet or the cook accidentally skipped our order until reminded. Very nice and accommodating staff though, so they still get 4 stars on service.

Judy's Cafe in Anchorage offers a genuine and warm local experience, perfect for a quintessential Alaskan brunch adventure. The bustling vibe radiates a sense of community, making it an ideal spot to savor strong, good coffee. A friendly local artist greeted visitors, setting the tone for an enjoyable visit. Despite a little wait for a table, the service was great with helpful suggestions from the server.
This is the exact place I needed to have the perfect small-diner experience. I felt like the employees want to be here, not that they have to be here. No credit cards; cash or check only (they have an ATM). Similar menu to other places that serve breakfast, but everything just tasted better here, as if they make everything themselves.

What wonderful way to start the day! Judy’s is the diner’s diner. It doesn’t look like much on the outside but from my experience it’s usually these places that have the best, most comforting food. The atmosphere is typical. It’s very homey, warm, and inviting. The restaurant is clean and smells of coffee, eggs, and sausage. It’s exactly what you want in a diner. The staff is above and beyond friendly and welcoming. I ate with a local who frequents Judy’s often and the interactions felt like they were old friends and I immediately had the same feeling. The menu is expansive and offers everything you’d expect from a diner but with local ingredients like reindeer sausage. Per the recommendation of our local friend we all got the special, a reindeer sausage, cheese, and mushroom omelette. Here’s a quick synopsis of specials. These are usually items that try to use excess ingredients in a way to got rid of them in a clever way.any times, they’re mediocre. Judy’s is not that. While that may be the case, it certainly didn’t seem like it. So let’s dig in to the special. These photos are very deceiving. Like many places the food doesn’t look very spiced but let me tell you all the flavor is there. The hashed browns were tender in the center with the perfect crunch. I judge food based on what I need to add to them and these hashed browns needed nothing. Anything you add is just to add the flavor to your liking. The same goes for the omelette. While there was a lack of pepper, that’s just personal preference. The egg alone tastes great and each individual ingredient enhanced the flavors of the others. The egg was fluffy but firm, the mushrooms were soft and didn’t water down the plate. This was my first experience with reindeer sausage and it was mouth watering. All in all, the meal came in a large portion that will leave you filled and satisfied. The sourdough toast was a good side that came well buttered. The coffee wasn’t typical diner coffee however. Judy’s puts effort into each of their cups. It’s great for those who love black coffee or who like creamer. The staff as mentioned before was super friendly and always checked in to make sure we had enough coffee. Were they TOO attentive? Perhaps. However they didn’t linger long enough for us to stop our conversation dead in its tracks. I’m giving Judy’s 4 stars because the next time I’m in Anchorage I will be visiting again to try out other menu items. If you’re in Anchorage for any amount of time this is a great place to start your day.

I took my friend here who was visiting from Massachusetts. On our way in, we ran into a famous Alaskan artist who had just dined here with his wife. He made us laugh, and said that it was a great choice for my friend, as this is a true Alaskan spot for amazing breakfast or lunch. We entered and there was a little bit of a wait, maybe five minutes for a table, but there was immediate space at the counter. We chose to wait. She ordered the 2x2x2, which was two pancakes, two eggs, and two slices of bacon. I got the waffle with two eggs and two slices of bacon. Our coffee was strong and good. Our food was generously proportioned and yummy. We had a great conversation and really loved the vibe of the place and the service from a very nice waitress. We had a fantastic visit, loved the folks that frequent this local establishment. Can't wait to come on Sunday and try the eggs Benedict that is served only on Sundays. I also really want to try the biscuits and gravy.

Coffee shop
Kaladi Brothers Coffee is a popular coffeehouse chain known for its air-roasted beans and trendy atmosphere. Originating from a street cart in Anchorage, Alaska in 1984, the brand has since expanded to multiple locations within and outside the state. Customers praise the Anchorage outlets for their scenic views, spacious interiors, and friendly staff. While some note slow service at times, the quality of beverages remains consistently high.
Kaladi Brothers was always my 1st stop every morning before heading out to do some errands. I live on a tropical island far away so having the reindeer sausage burrito was a rare treat so it was my go to order. Love the place and I can’t wait to drop by again!

Boy did I want to like this place but their hot cocoa was atrocious! I've heard good things about their coffee, but I don't do that so the hot chocolate had to suffice at the grading scale. Barely any flavor and no creaminess. Luckily, the atmosphere and staff brought it up to an above average rating.

This coffee shop has a warm, inviting ambience that makes it the perfect place to linger, whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment with a book. The people behind the counter are genuinely friendly and seem to take pride in every cup they serve, adding to the overall charm of the place. While the menu offers a variety of great options, the standout is definitely their Kaladi coffee—a rich, aromatic brew that’s an absolute must-try for any coffee lover.

This is a good spot to have a small meeting or spend time with a friend. Spacious enough with many tables and seating options. I was there for a meet and greet business meeting. The service was a little slow in my opinion and besides the cashier the baristas were grumpy. I am sure it was a long morning as it was noon when I was there. This kept me from giving the full 5 stars. The americano I ordered was good! Kaladi coffee drinks typically are and so is this location.

The latte is very smooth! Really enjoyed it. The menu was not posted online so it took me a moment to scan the items in line before ordering. Also, the flavor list was posted after ordering. Prices were not posted for their water bottles either and I felt too rushed to ask about it. But overall, very happy with the coffee

It is a nice coffee shop with a great view of the mountains. Inside has the feeling of a nice coffee shop with some art on the walls and a coffee bar with bakery and food items located there as well. The cashier and cook didn't have the best of customer service mannerisms but they still did their job and got the coffee and burrito I had ordered out to me. Still I would recommend making a stop here and getting some coffee and enjoy the mountain views.

This is an all American family restaurant specializing in breakfast and brunch. They're open from 6 AM - 3 PM. Everyone here was friendly and attentive, they all served together as a team. The food was served fast, hot, and fresh. Good food at a reasonable price. Plenty of parking. The restaurant is clean,modern, and comfy. This is a great place if going solo or meeting up as a group. I was also pleasantly surprised to get a complimentary kitkat with my bill. That was a "sweet" gesture.

Came here for breakfast after reading the great reviews, and we were pleasantly surprised how well reality lived up to the hype. This is a seriously good breakfast. Our portions were generous, and the meals were delicious. The buttermilk pancakes are awesome! My corned beef skillet was one of the best hashes I've had in a long time, and we're from PA Dutch country. In fact, we're planning on stopping by again tomorrow morning before we leave Anchorage. A place so nice, you gotta go twice (or more, but we won't be here to keep coming back though we will be back if we ever return to Anchorage). Vegetarian options are available, and the service was quick and polite.

Finally made it to Heidi’s with some good friends. I was not disappointed whatsoever! Great place for breakfast!! The place is very clean, up to date, and very well kept! Bravo Heidi’s! I think I will frequent this place from now on! I know this is a challenge in Alaska. Service is very kind and helpful! Nothing like getting mini candy bars after the meal!! Sorry I don’t have pictures of the food, our conversation and excitement got the best of us and I forgot. I had the country fried steak skillet and it was delicious. My friend had an omelette and I can say this! The dish looks both great and tastes great. I actually like that it is not overly huge and ridiculous! It is the right amount!

The best bar food that I had in a while! The restaurant is always crowded, so you may need to wait and few minutes until a seat is available. Likely it is going to be a seat at one of the bars. Get one where you see chefs cooking, it is a great show to see. My favorite was the King Salmon salad special, the fish was very fresh and tasty. Deep fried halibut is also very good.
Edward S — Google review
The place was very crowded when we came in and it took us a little while to get service, which is ok I totally understand they were busy and small staff. Seemed like there were only two cooks in the kitchen so our food took a very long time. The salmon spread had some cheese mixed in already and didn’t have much salmon flavor. Just was different than what we expected. The Caesar salad would have probably been a lot better with Caesar dressing but I got it with the red wine vinegarette, and they didn’t put any parm on it? I don’t know if that was because I got it with a different dressing or why. Their dressing options are just Caesar, blue cheese, or the red wine vinaigrette. The halibut sandwich could have used a little bit more salt but the fish was very tender and the fries were good. The French onion soup was a bit salty but good.

It's an elite destination for oysters, crab, halibut, rockfish, and more. The restaurant is set in a raised building over a creek with nice architecture that stretches across the river.
Excellent food!! The crab cakes were really CRAB cakes, and not crab CAKES. There is an all-you-can-eat salad bar with the entrees. My mixed skewer [reindeer sausage, rockfish, salmon] w/ mixed veggies and roasted potatoes was absolutely yummy, retaining all the original flavors. The service was friendly and attentive.

Went for one of their monthly dinners and wow! Great food, service, wine, atmosphere, company, etc the list really does go on. As a vegan, I was blown away by not only the taste of the food, but the presentation as well! It sounds kind of ridiculous as a vegan to suggest a place that is already well-known for seafood, but I have to admit that it was one of the best (certainly the nicest) vegan meals I’ve ever had. Wish I had taken pics of more than just the spongecake dessert! Also have to add the wine pairings were very thoughtful and excellent along with the service. The staff there feel like a real people who take pride in their craft and enjoy what they do. Cant recommend the experience enough!

The Fancy Moose Lounge has a nice atmosphere and decent service, but the food leaves much to be desired. The flavors were underwhelming and lacked character - I’d rate it a three at best.

While the setting is pleasant, the restaurant really needs to step up its game when it comes to the quality and taste of the food.

It’s been a while since we visited Village Inn, so we decided to give it another try. We arrived on a busy Sunday, expecting a wait, but we were promptly seated. We had our orders ready and placed them right away. The waitress was friendly and brought us water and coffee. However, after that, we didn’t see her again. We waited over 40 minutes for our food, while others who arrived after us received their meals before us. No one acknowledged our presence or checked in on us. We were about to leave and go somewhere else when the waitress finally came with our food and apologized. The food was at least fresh and tasted good, but the poor service completely ruined the experience for us. We’ll be sticking to our usual small business breakfast spots in the future.

Where to start… You can tell management has been lacking for a long time here. When we arrived, party of 3. We were told there were no tables available. I counted 3 on the back wall and one on each side of the restaurant. It’s one thing to be short staffed but to have people wait 30 minutes to be seated at the same tables that sat empty. Wow. We ordered our food. My mother in law ordered the Chicken Fried steak skillet, that’s not what she got. My husband ordered a ham and sausage omelette with hashbrowns, he got a skillet. I ordered a Chicken Ranch sandwich, but you don’t actually have ranch on the sandwich. Ugh. I’m glad we don’t have to return as we were passing through. This place desperately needs some to organize them.

I used to love eating here but I will never be back again. My family was refused service and blatantly ignored by staff and servers. Tried several times to get their attention, waving at the servers just trying to get a menu at least. Waited 10-15 minutes and were refused service, just for being native, they had maybe 4 tables so it wasn't because they were busy. Watched as they served everyone else but looked at us and walked away not once twice three but FOUR times. If you are native, do not bother coming here, they do not want our business!! I'm really disappointed being discriminated against in an establishment we have gone to for breakfast for a long time.

Absolutely delicious coffee and food! Our highlight was the Quiche; normally restaurants manage to burn the outside but this one was perfectly cooked and tasted fresh. One of our pet peeves is finding a place that can make a good cortado (espresso shot with a tiny amount of milk & foam, not a latte as most places seem to think). This place made it perfectly, no special instructions required! Finally, try the rosemary brown sugar house made syrup! It’s delicious New all time favorite in Anchorage

Lovely little coffee shop, delicious latte and cappuccino which had a thick layer of foam! Quiche is large and delicious 😋 There is some seating inside and outside, and the specialty chocolate selection of Taza bars is incredible (and delicious). The staff are very friendly and you can see all of the care that goes into utilizing their small space!

Ordered the pancake bowl and a latte. The bowl was amazing. It had the perfect mix of oatmeal, berries and the pancake. Tasted perfect and I really enjoyed it. The latte was great as well. Great location and ambiance. The place can use a renovation but not critical. Service was excellent. Will come again.

Visited for a light lunch. I had a matcha latte and the soup of the day -potato and leek. The soup was delicious and the matcha was flavorful and not as heavy as the ones served at chain coffee shops. They had an assortment of pastries that looked great, so I'll have to come back and try those another day. Seating is a little tight inside, but they have reading materials and games available for patrons.

We randomly dropped by for a light breakfast and lattes mid morning and loved this place! Small and very cozy, it had such a nostalgic vibe with an excellent drink menu. Wonderfully crafted latte selection and the service was excellent. Would highly recommend for a quiet spot for breakfast!

I visited Dark Horse Coffee for the first time today while visiting Anchorage, AK. The cafe is located in the Downtown area which seems convenient. I ordered an iced latte with a bit of their sugar free blueberry syrup flavour shot, their award winning Vegan Pancake Bowl, and a chocolate covered coconut macaron. The iced latte wasn't the best to be honest, as to me it tasted too bitter and I only ended up having a few sips of the drink. The Pancake Bowl was truly delicious and something new that I hadn't tried before; I enjoyed it very much but wasn't a fan of the cashew yogurt on top, all else paired nicely. Lastly, the chocolate covered coconut macaron was tasty as well. In my opinion, the items were all fairly priced and the service was good. The atmosphere of the cafe could use some work in terms of ambience and updating. If I'm in the Downtown area again, I'd definitely visit again just for the Pancake Bowl once more.

Coffee is awesome. We tried the banana latte it is so good. The flavor blend so well together for a coffee. And you must try their pastry. Is another level ! Felt like a real French pastry house. At least the palmier is the best I ever had !!

This place serves very delicious food. The reindeer crunch wrap was out-of-this-world delicious. I’d say the same for the 1 lb smoked salmon burrito. The portions were very generous. We went thrice while we were in the area! You should not miss this while in Anchorage!😋

Call in your order to go, it’ll be ready quick. We’ve tried the fish and chips and the carne asada nachos. We came back for the nachos, they’re worth the $18. Small spot downtown. They serve beer on tap and bottled. The staff are friendly enough. I’ve tried their salmon quesadilla at the Alaska State fair and it was delicious. We’re coming back to try the breakfast burritos and other items.

I don't come here often despite living downtown, but this place is one of those rare gems in Anchorage! Love being able to take my dog, drink a beer and eat some chips and salsa in the open air bar. The food and coffee are amazing for the value too! If you've ever passed by and wondered if this place is any good, it's worth a stop. Great value, chill atmosphere and friendly staff. For sure one of my favorite spots downtown!

Great coffee! Great service. The burrito was good except it was very Wonder bread, white boy burrito. No onions, no hot sauce, no cilantro, no flavor. I think a burrito by definition is Mexican food. Some fresh salsa or at least Cholula or tapatio would help a lot.
Chris — Google review
The place looked at little run down driving by it, but I finally got around to looking up their menu and once I did, I HAD to try it! I got the smoked salmon breakfast burrito, soooo good! I was going to try one of the smoothies, but they only had peach and barely enough of that. So I asked what their best coffee flavor was and I don't even remember it was peanut butter some kind of cookie and white chocolate, so I went with that one and it was so good! The right amount of sweetness and strength. I wish I went back again, because I'm incredibly interested and curious about the Reindeer Crunchwrap!

The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. The food came out hot and delicious.

I guess there's a reason it's been years since I last visited this place. We went to grab breakfast before stopping by Lowe's. It was Saturday late morning, and they were busy as expected. We waited just about three or four minutes for a table and were seated and given our menus. That was the last time we had any interaction with an employee. We had active tables surrounding us with multiple waitstaff servicing them. In particular, one waiter stopped by multiple times at three of the tables surrounding us, yet never acknowledged us, offered coffee or water. The same for a waitress serving the fourth table next to us. After sitting at the table for 15 minutes with no acknowledgement, we decided to leave and try another place for breakfast. Not surprisingly, there weren't even any "thank you for stopping by" from anyone working the hostess table on our way out. Seriously, spend the 2-3 minutes and drive to any of the other amazing and local breakfast places that are close by. You'll get better service and, believe it or not, you'll save some money too. The well known local place that's a few blocks away was $2-$3 cheaper per meal than IHOP. I'm not sure what IHOP is doing with the pricing nowadays but you are not getting what you pay for anymore.

Finally understand what IHOP really stands for ICKY HAIR ON POTATOES. When I called the server over, she said it could be one of my hairs. I pulled the hair out and told her to try and find a 12 inch hair anywhere on my body. She stood there looking stupid, so I just yelled at the top of my lungs that I found a really long hair in my food. The manager was at my table in 4.7 seconds. When I told him what the idiot server said, he sent her home for the day. He offered me anything I wanted and my wife and I would be comped. I said no thanks and we walked out, as did a number of other people.

The dipping sauce paired perfectly with the Philly sandwich, and their fries added a lovely crunch. Not only is the food top-notch, but the service is also exceptional.

Great atmosphere and setting. Great service too. Food was good. I ordered a turkey sandwich & my husband ordered the pigs in blanket with a side of grits (sausages wrapped in pancakes). My food tasted good but my husband’s not so much. Grits were a little undercooked. Sausages used in the pancake were too tiny and pancakes were quite doughy. Other than that, not a bad place. Would come back!

Dined here twice. It's a little bit on the higher end for price, but I really think the large portion and higher food quality makes a worth it.

Fantastic service and the food was good. My only small issues would be their sausage gravy flavor was a little bland, and I wish the chicken fried steak was a bigger portion. Definitely worth a try if you've never been. My wife loved the waffles.

I wasn't going to write a bad review at 1st but then I only received a handful of fries!! All I ordered was a side a Fries for pick up on a Saturday, they told me 10 minutes, I get there after the first 10 minutes and have to wait another 10 minutes in the lobby at that point I left and went n got gas and soda. The side of Fries is $7.25 and I tipped .75cents so $8 dollars for a handful of fries and an over 20 minute wait!!

I ordered the club sandwich. It was reasonably priced for a sit down meal. Bacon and fries were crispy. Pretty good overall, they could use more business as they serve so many items all day including breakfast.

I have been wanting to stop here for years, unfortunately when we did they were no longer a bakery. The hollandaise sauce was flavorless.

Crepes were great! We ordered a ham and Swiss and a Nutella and banana one. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was good, however, the Turkish coffee was a huge disappointment! They have the mechanism but did not blend it enough and at the end it was hot water with grainy coffee, nothing like what we have had in Istanbul, Turkey or Malta. I had ordered 2 because I was sure I would love it but definitely the young man making it needed further training

We were wandering and shopping and being generally boring tourists in downtown Anchorage when I spotted this spot from across the street. With all things here in Alaska I was hoping to find a fish with salmon and I wasn't disappointed. I got the Alaskan Smoked King Salmon crepe and the wife got the Alaskan Reindeer and we shared a brie, walnuts and honey for dessert. The venue is pretty chill, a little granola vibe. Service was quick and helpful. Docked a star after the wife's crepe missed one of the fillings, mine had multiple fish bones (though very tasty), and the sweet crepe had so little honey it tasted like a savory crepe. Overall solid experience but a few drawbacks. I'd give em a second try though.

Nice place, not cozy, but several seating options. The crepes were good, by wife really enjoyed her Paris crepe. I had the Alaskan Reindeer, which as OK, the sausage was good but I think if the peppers had been roasted it would have had more flavor.

Nestled in the heart of downtown, Hilton Anchorage offers a contemporary retreat for travelers seeking comfort and convenience. This hotel features an inviting indoor pool and a well-equipped fitness center, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. Guests can enjoy light bites at the relaxed on-site restaurant or take advantage of versatile event spaces. With its prime location just 750 meters from the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, visitors can soak in stunning views of the surrounding mountain range right from their rooms.
I arrived after a 10+ hour journey with an infant and toddler. This hotel was the best decision. We were greeted by Devin who was super helpful in getting us to our room and setting all good. Mellissa G made it so nice of a check in experience and accomodated all our requests as and when we thought of them. At night, our toddler needs milk. The restaurant downstairs has Julianna who was gracious and helped me with it and also checked on later to make sure our food arrived. I would recommend this place, not only for facilities but for amazing customer service and people that work here

I stayed at the Anchorage Hilton in August 2025 and overall had a very good experience. Some other reviews note that the hotel is a bit outdated, and that’s fair but honestly, it’s only slightly so, and it doesn’t take away from the stay. The rooms are a little on the smaller side, but what they lack in size and modern flash is more than made up for by the staff. Housekeeping deserves special recognition—my room was immaculate throughout my stay, and Ana, who looked after my room, did an outstanding job keeping it tidy and the coffee bar well stocked. The breakfast buffet is hearty but very average, your typical hotel spread. The location, however, is superb. For that reason alone I’d recommend this property, not to mention the consistency and service you expect from Hilton accommodations. One note for travelers: as of my visit in August 2025, there was some construction in the lobby and painting underway on the exterior (so expect to see a few painters hanging around the building). All in all, a solid stay, I’d recommend it, especially if you value location and attentive staff service.

Honestly the room was okay. Nice view. The bed was comfortable but the room smelled like smoke. It was EXTREMELY outdated and grimey looking. By far the worst Hilton I've stayed in. Absolutely not worth the price they are charging. The staff however was very kind and accommodating. We were only staying one night and had a late check in, so no fuss. However, If you do plan to stay here, I highly recommend looking elsewhere for the price.

Unfortunately, this hotel was far below acceptable standards. The room and common areas were extremely unclean, which made the stay uncomfortable. The heating/AC was not functioning, and the elevators were so loud that they could be heard throughout the entire building, making it difficult to sleep. The overall appearance was very run-down, with dark and depressing paint colors and furnishings that made the rooms feel even less inviting. In my opinion, the property is in need of a major renovation. Sadly, I cannot recommend this hotel until significant improvements are made.

I arrived early in the morning and checked into the hotel, but there’s no hot water, so I haven’t been able to take a shower yet. They said the main boiler was broken and tried to fix it during the day, but it’s still not working, and there’s no estimate for when we’ll have hot water again. Without the boiler, the room heating doesn’t work either. It’s 5°C outside. I tried to sleep in the room during the day, but I woke up with a severe sore throat. But first, I really need something done about the hotel conditions. This issue isn’t limited to my room — the entire hotel has no heating or hot water.

I would like to shout out Melissa G, the leader whom I discovered at the front end at the Hilton Anchorage downtown. I’ve been to many Hilton‘s, but never like this one because of Melissa G. She is delightful to talk to very bubbly happy and always willing to help those Who come to her for anything. I think you Hylton for just having her as an employee because It makes a difference to have someone who’s as determined and direct as an agent when the lobby is busy. Thank you for an incredible employee. Frances, our housekeeping lady is always as cheerful And brought me more coffee and new towels. Chavez and Ena We’re also fantastic. Thank you, Hilton.

I had such a wonderful stay at the Hilton! The front desk team truly made the experience stand out. Special thanks to Dominik, Dom, and Paula— for their professionalism, warmth, and genuine hospitality. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect during my visit, Thanks to them, my stay was smooth, comfortable, and memorable. Highly recommend Hilton! Anchorage is such an amazing city🥰

I am currently staying at this hotel and the same problems are here that people the last couple of weeks have mentioned, so it is obvious to me that there is no motivation to fix the problems at this hotel. I will not base my review on the problems surrounding the hotel but it was still unfortunate hearing the loud trains and the many homeless people near the area. However, like all the others have said there are basic things this expensive hotel does not seem to care about providing. There was no air conditioning, no hot water (even after running for 15 minutes) I just had to take a shower in ice cold water, trash in the hallways, and limited ice machines working. The frustrating part is we were part of a cruise and had no choice but to stay here. It seems they don't care about fixing anything because they get their business from the cruise companies (which I will also be complaining to about this experience). I'm just grateful we only had to stay here one night. If I had to stay here for an extended time and pay the high prices directly, I would be even more disappointed. If they send me their copy/pasted response of how to contact them I will do so and update my review. I can honestly say this is one of the worst hotels I've stayed at. The lobby looks nice but once you get in further, it is obviously not a pleasant or even mediocre experience. I am really not a picky person but when basic things have not been fixed in many weeks and when you have no choice but to stay here and they get their money, it makes me wish I could give less than one star.

The Sheraton Anchorage Hotel is a sophisticated accommodation located in downtown Anchorage, Alaska. It offers luxurious rooms with beautiful views and access to amenities such as a fitness center, indoor pool, and on-site dining options. The hotel's prime location provides easy access to attractions like the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center and the Chugach Mountains. Guests can also enjoy nearby shopping at the Anchorage 5th Avenue Mall.
If not the best, one of the best hotels in Anchorage. The service was great, nice people everywhere you look, all the interactions were perfect, very helpful, zero nonsense. The room was all you can expect, clean, cozy, bright. The bed and pillows were up to standard and so comfy. It's just within a very short walking distance to downtown but not in the middle of it. They have a nice snack room and the environment in the lounge is decorated nicely so it makes you wanna spend time there. Loved it!

We spent a night in the Sheraton Anchorage Hotel as part of our cruise package. It is centrally located and within walking distance of many restaurants and attractions. It is an older building, but we didn't mind because of the cleanliness and amenities. It is certainly up to date! The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Lyn was amazing! She was witty and welcoming - made us feel at home. We will definitely return when and if we are ever back in this part of the country. Thank you!

This hotel is pretty average but could be better for the price. The staff was friendly and very accommodating and Lyn at the front desk was amazing. The hotel is within walking distance to the downtown area and you can find good places to eat,(The Biscuit Club), shopping, and sightseeing. All in all its okay, but not really up to the Sheraton name.

I got a phone call early in the morning, from my hotel room phone 9/20. It was a person saying they were from management downstairs(the name given to me was Marv)and the voice sounded familiar. He needed to verify my card number and zip code. This individual, read me my card number, and only asked for my zip code. Since he already read the card number to me, I assumed it was true and gave my zip code. I look at my account on 9/21 and had a slew of charges on my card. I went downstairs to inform the staff at about 1530, and they told me they would never call over the phone for my information and this has happened to a few guest at that hotel before. I gave this hotel a 1 star, because how is this happening where someone is calling the room phone number, and having customers information? Is this a data breach? Is this an inside job? There needs to be some accountability with this situation. I do not want others to be im the same boat as I am.

Decent for a short stay if you just need a place to sleep for a couple of nights. The hotel is extremely dated, similar to many others in the city, but I expected more from a Marriott property. Location is downtown and walking distance to some restaurants, but isn’t in the best area (safety wise).

Our stay at the Sheraton was wonderful. The only downside was the food. We ate at the bar our first night. One of the dishes we ordered was the pickled shrimp, beets, and microgreens. The shrimp was not pickled. They had no flavor, I think they were simply poached or steamed. The beets were rotten and fizzy tasting. The salad was mixed greens not microgreens. I absolutely love beets. Especially pickled beets so this was very disappointing. I pointed all this out to our server and they didn't discount the salad. We went to breakfast once. Our waitress Gina was rude and never refilled drinks. We had to regularly ask another waitress for drinks. I need cheese added to an omelet that arrived without cheese and I had to wait forever. I went to the buffet and ate my entire breakfast before Gina finely came back. I had to send the nice waitress (Cecilia) to go find her. Then Gina took my friends plate before she was done eating. That just was the icing on the cake this morning. Seeing the two waitresses together is like day and night. If we come back I will ask to sit in Cecilia's section.

Great Harvest Bread Co. in Anchorage, AK is a beloved bakery chain known for its whole-grain breads and muffins made from Montana wheat. As soon as you step inside, the inviting aroma of freshly baked goods fills the air. The bakery offers an array of treats including sandwiches, cookies, scones, and daily specials like cheese garlic bread and white chocolate cherry bread.

Chipotle turkey is very good. You really cannot go wrong ordering anything from here. From breads, to pastries, to hot and cold sandwiches. I always love the complimentary piece of fresh bread and butter. Such a well run business on many fronts.

We stopped for lunch at Great Harvest Bread Company where the breads are outstanding and certainly among the best we have had around the world. We ordered two different turkey sandwiches. Unfortunately, they were incorrectly prepared as if half of each was added to the other. My wife got two loads of turkey without veggies, and I got two loads of veggies without turkey. We realized the mistake after we were well into the meal so we didn’t bother to see if they would fix it. We were full as the serving size is ample. We did try their cinnamon rolls, which were very good. So, on the one hand, the breads are excellent and the sandwiches are potentially a 5 out of 5 stars when correctly prepared. I would rate the cinnamon roll at 4 of 5 as I like Cinnabon icing but my wife would rate it a 5 because she’s not enamored of icing. The seating is comfortable and there is plenty of parking. If you enjoy fresh bread, this is a great place.

I was excited to hear this very fond of bakery/sandwich shop was opening In wasilla so I came to Anchorage to try it out. Atmosphere was busy and cold. The service was minimum offering no specials no suggestions and did not listen to my order thus lead to making my sandwich incorrectly. While the bread tasted good the sandwich was literally a Home made sandwich cut in half and then I was charged $10 for it with no opportunity for a drink. Nothing special about this place. I am still hungry. My sandwich was wrong and now I have no desire to go to the new Wasilla location when it opens. I am tired of expensive Alaskan shops that provide minimum services and basic products for a high price.

Order cinnamon rolls, they were a little dry. The scones where just bread texture not a scone. While waiting for our order saw an employee working at making bread (putting dough in pans no gloves on) he looked at his phone put it back in his pocket and then continued to touch the dough. Not very sanitary.

Delicious! My favorite breakfast sandwich is the Red Rooster on Rye- absolutely recommend. The bread selection is also wonderful. Some of their more popular loaves sell out earlier though so I’d recommend going earlier in the day if you want to grab a whole loaf. I like that they offer samples while you wait, which are also very decent in size btw! Coffee selection is limited, but still good for what you get and the staff are very friendly! Overall, definitely a place that you’ll go to more than once.

I really do enjoy this place. Never can go wrong with all you can eat! I miss the old prices as they have gone up this year. Understandable however! It was too good of a deal with inflation. The food is good depending what you get. Things like pizza and other questionable foods are gross. I am for sure getting pot roast, fried okra, fried shrimp, potatoes, ham and probably the steak or sliders if it’s lunch. Then banana pudding and ice cream. You don’t eat the rest of the day after the Corral! Place is typical Alaskan rundown but not terrible. Service is typically rough and bad to decent. Tip them anyway if it is busy.

The variety was good, no complaints there, but with the exception of the pork steak which was amazing it seemed like the only seasoning on anything was salt. I was sick for a couple of days after going there, and I suspect it was from the amount of salt in the food rather than something like ecoli. Would I go there again... Not without a really good reason. The staff were friendly and attentive, but with the amount of salt, it just wasn't for me. Might be better on a different day, but I personally won't be making a return trip next time I'm in the area.

Salad bar is always fresh. Good produce. Selection seems to have gone down a bit and they had a section they weren't even using this time. But if you'd spend $15 @ McDs or BK, I'd rather come here and get a whole meal with veggies, grilled meat and desserts too. Healthier and just better options. The people who work the dining area are always really nice and helpful so I don't mind tipping here! This time I got a box to take home for later. Adding: Get the carrot cake! You actually see carrot shreds in it and the cream cheese frosting is to die for! And their corn fritters are crisp on the outside, tender inside.. get the honey butter in the bread stand next to the desserts!

The Pond Cafe is a delightful breakfast and dinner spot located within the resort. Guests can enjoy a satisfying breakfast every morning with generous portions at reasonable prices. The friendly and sweet service adds to the pleasant dining experience. In addition to breakfast, the dinner menu offers delectable options, such as the highly recommended Americano Pizza. Whether starting the day or winding down in the evening, The Pond Cafe is a lovely choice for resort guests seeking delicious meals and amiable service.
It’s so nice to have a decent breakfast place in the resort. We had breakfast every morning at here and we enjoyed it. The price is good, the food portion is good.

If you stay in the resort, the Pond Cafe is nice place for both breakfast and dinner.

I'm sorry, the breakfast is terrible, and costs $100 (plus tip!) for four people. It is buffet style. We've had better prepared eggs, pancakes, granola and yogurt at the Hampton Inn -and it was free! There was a sign saying we could order custom omelettes, but the server said the sign was wrong. The orange juice was worse than from can. Look, you are not going to die if you eat the breakfast here, but if you remotely have a choice go somewhere else or get something from the Safeway close by and eat in your room and save $95. The view from the restaurant is lovely, makes up a bit for the poor service.
Mini R — Google review
I'd say this place is hit or miss. The first note is it is extremely expensive for breakfast; meals for four people without drinks was over $70, and there was no custom made meals. Burritos, pancakes and eggs. The food isn't bad, the portion size is decent, but the price (to me) is a bit steep. Yes, I understand its Alaska, a resort, and distant from services. Tracking. But man, a burrito here is $16 and the tramway café its $8. You do the math which is more economically sound. Server was nice as well.

Kaladi Brothers Coffee is a popular coffeehouse chain known for its hip spaces and air-roasted bean brews. One of their specialties is the Praline Toaster Tart, a flaky pastry filled with gooey praline made by their own KBC Commissary. Located near New Sagaya City Market, it's a convenient spot to grab coffee, pastries, or even lunch and dinner options like rotisserie chicken or fresh salmon.
I am an outdoor working person who comes to use the restroom and get lunch or coffee and pastries for breaks when working that side of town. A great place to sit and take a break, out of the rain. Little grocery store in the building. Take advantage of the same day refills on coffee, this perk is often overlooked. The coffee shop portion is just coffee and sweets as far as I know, but the little store surrounding it has many options for anything you'd want to eat, including soup and salad bar, Deli hot foods, Chinese lunch foods, calzones, fancy desserts, candy, chips, drinks, fruit, breads, etc. Prices seem high in the grocery store but they probably have to pay high rent being so close to downtown. I once paid about $9 for a dozen eggs here.

If you're lucky enough to live near New Sagaya City Market then you'll never go hungry. You're a short walk away from a coffee with a pastry or doughnut.

Fresh fruit and vegetables a plenty here with some organic options. Relax at a table and read the paper. You'll find this is a great place to read a newspaper or meet with a group of friends.

Coffee is okay to good, but sweet drinks do tend to be on the overly sweet side for me. Drinks here are more expensive than other area options.

There are ample seating options which can be nice for meeting up with someone or sitting to get some work done on a laptop.

Came in on a gloomy overcast day to place a modest soup and sandwich order. I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, but they have abbreviated hours, so you have to be time aware and intentional about your stop. What I found was a cozy quiet cafe, with a wonderful array of choices on their menu!!! (I will have to come back, just for breakfast!) They were out of their soup of the day, so I made a salad substitute with an incredible house recipe blueberry 🫐 vinaigrette dressing. Their sandwich was tasty, but I took the majority of it home to doctor it up with an avocado. 😉 Everything’s better with with avocado on it. ✨ The waitstaff was very congenial and cordial and made me feel most welcome, attentive and providing EXCELLENT service!! *** I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this delightful little cafe, with quiet charm and decorative decor.

Service was quick and friendly. But I found the food lacking flavor. I had the avocado melt with cottage potatoes. They must have used a meat slicer to get the bread cut so thin, less than 1/4 inch thick. The chicken on the avocado melt was very bland, the avocado itself was good though. The cottage potatoes did not have much flavor at all, just boiled red potatoes. This was my first time there, maybe other dishes are better.

This was the weirdest experience I’ve ever had in a restaurant. It was our first and last time giving this place a try. We walked in at 11am, read the chalk board that said something snarky about waiting in the lobby, and waited for 10 minutes. There were probably 5 people that looked to be on the clock milling about, including a 12ish year old boy working behind the bar, but nobody said a single thing to acknowledge we were there and that we would be seated soon or even hello. Finally somebody in our group dared to walk into the dining room to see if there were tables open or try to figure out if we were in the wrong spot. The lady working in there physically grabbed our 66 year old friend and turned her around, and pushed her towards the lobby. She then spent several minutes lecturing us about how everybody in the dining room needs her undivided attention and that she cannot be interrupted to speak to people in the lobby. She showed us the chalkboard and condescendingly read it to us. I wish I would have read the other reviews before inviting guests to try this place because so many of them tell a very similar story to what we experienced. This place should learn about customer service or just close up shop if they’re going to be such ungracious hosts to people trying to give them money.

Hidden Gem in Girdwood – Alpine Bakery I stumbled upon Alpine Bakery in Girdwood on my way to the Anchorage airport, and what a delightful surprise it was! Tucked into a charming little shopping center, this cozy spot instantly felt welcoming. I ordered a latte and an apple fritter (though I wanted to try their berry fritter, which had already sold out—always a good sign!). Both were fantastic—the latte was smooth and well-balanced, and the fritter had the perfect mix of crispiness, apples, and softness with just the right amount of sweetness. The real highlight, though, was the friendly service. The young lady working that day was an absolute joy—warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. If you’re passing through Girdwood, I highly recommend stopping at Alpine Bakery. I know I’ll be back to try that berry fritter next time!

Nice little bakery with a good selection. Had some sweet lunch on the the way to Seward on a rainy day. Staff is nice. Note: it’s only dine out. It’s actually quite pricey.

Very friendly. Large portions. A bit pricey for me. I got a berry scone, a coconut pecan bar and a snickerdoodle cookie. The scone is more a roll with berries in it. The bar and cookie were great!

I feel like we just ate two breads. Berry scorne had barely any berries and the cheese spinach croissant has barely any spinach or cheese at all. Lady is friendly though.

Great coffee and pastries. The old fashioned plain donut does my grandma's memory justice. And the owner is the kindest lady. I told her I was dieting and would only be having coffee and she goes "it's on me, good job!". What?!? Who does that?!? Thank you 🙃

These were the worst breakfast items! They said they were “known for their apple fritters.” Well, that was not even like an apple fritter at all! Like trying to eat a big piece of bread with barely any apple in it. Dry and stale tasting. The berry scone was also same experience and unfit to eat. Same with the ham and cheese croissant. We took about 2 bites of each and threw them away. Those items, along with one drip coffee cost about $30. What a rip off!!!! I’d give them negative stars if I could.

Fresh baked every day. And delicious, top quality pastries, muffins, menu. I bought Apple strudel and Blueberry muffin. I worked in a Bakery for many years our baker was the very best, this place is just as good fresh baked. Try it while in Girdwood, stock up actually not only FANTASTIC but prices for Alaska are so reasonable.

Very nice coffee shop. Lots of variety, including craft coffee. They also sell bulk coffee and supplies. Adding to the ambience are paintings from local featured artists.

Such an awesome place!! They seem like they really know what they're doing, and the coffee was great! I got an iced Latte and it was yummy. I also got a cinnamon roll, with was delicious! The atmosphere was great, with couches and chairs everywhere and plenty of seating and outlets. Definitely recommend!! Also their ice cubes were beautiful lol.
Ella — Google review
Espresso drinker? Steamdot has the best espresso in Alaska due to the proper use of the Slayer Espresso Machine. A Metro vibe and a focus on brighter coffees define the experience. Every sip, of espresso, showcases the vibrant aspects of their coffee. Pared with a seltzer to cleanse the palate gives a grand espresso experience. The cafes machine allows a long pre infusion phase of the extraction process allowing coffee to be ground finer thereby increasing extraction yields. Single Origin coffee is roasted to showcase the unique origin character of each coffee. A focus on quality is evident with most bags, depending on the sub species, containing small dense high altitude beans. I have yet to buy a bag that has roasting defects. Atmosphere is classy and tucked shirt. Large open ceilings with a large use of metal accents give the air of a downtown metropolitan cafe. The feeling is compounded by the regulars who are often professionals in meetings. While espresso and beans shine, milk drinks suffer from lower quality syrups offered compared to the competition. If Steamdot were to switch to only in-house production or a higher quality brand a fifth star would not be far behind.

Finally, a coffee shop that does not have a boring tea menu! I was so impressed they had 10 different teas with various varieties, and then they steeped it with a timer. I saw incredible artwork that the Reece were doing with local mochas and café drinks. It was such a fun experience going here. They actually have a Chemex and a coffee that you can get that’s made with a Chemex set up, I was impressed by that. This is a great place to take friends to talk. The only negative aspect that I could find with this location is that I couldn’t find a power source easily in a wall if you are working on your laptop.

One of the best shops I've been to in a long time. Walked in and admired the art on the walls and the infographic on the wall that was hand painted referencing the different brew methods. Ordered a cortado and was asked if it was for here or to go, I replied for here, and was met with a "bless you." That speaks volumes to me. Tried their espresso of the day with the cortado, top notch. They serve it with the board and a club soda. My wife got a mocha which they use a house made sauce and he added in some cinnamon for her. Both drinks were great. I highly highly reccomend this spot. Prices were unbelievable too. We scored a cortado and a mocha for $9. Hope they are doing well and continue the mission!

Service is very slow. Takes 15 minutes to get a coffee even when there are just a few people in line. Orders a routinely missed. Baristas seem to be pretty carefree even when multiple people are waiting. Coffee is very good!

House of Bread Anchorage is a bakery that produces natural, fresh-tasting products. They use wholesome ingredients and natural processes to make their breads, rolls, and sandwiches. Their coffee is average but their sandwiches are really good.
We were looking for a quiet place to eat some lunch and get some work done. House of Bread was perfect. With a sunny patio to sit on, a filling sandwich, yummy baked treats, and hot coffee, we enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back. Would have better photos, but it was too delicious to delay eating...
Allison W — Google review
I ate here when they first opened and thought it was fine, but coming back recently I really enjoyed it. The fireplace and seating is cozy and offers good options for conversation. The bread tastes very home made and hearty, I had a bowl of their roasted pepper soup and thought it was really, really good. It comes with two pieces of whatever bread you'd like on the side--not just a piece cut into two reasonable, but two full pieces. All for under $10. Seemed like a good price for a good meal. The cinnamon rolls they had on display looked especially delicious, I just didn't have any room to try them!

Read reviews before our trip so had to visit. We got to Anchorage and picked up our Camper Jeep nearby then stopped by for a sliced loaf of sourdough and some cookies and bars for our camping trip! Today we are traveling home and stopped by before returning our jeep! We had a cinnamon roll with nuts, drip coffee, water and an Alaskan Fusion Panini (I think that’s what it was called) on sourdough! We also got lemon bars for the flights home! Everything is so fresh and delicious! I wish we had places like this in Central Florida! The girls that work here are very helpful with sharing what they like and suggest. There are only a few employees in there at a time so have patience! Must visit on your Alaskan adventure!!

We love this place for hearty make-your-own sandwiches! You can even try bread samples! They have pastries and drinks for sale, as well as whole bread loaves. Small seating area, single bathroom. It stays busy so be prepared for a line!

Ugh, I really want to like it but it's just another lackluster Anchorage eatery with a dingy atmosphere and poor service. Ordered half veggie sandwich and salad combo. Being the only person in there it felt like the order took way too long to come out. Bread was good, sandwich ingredients...decent but they put mayo on instead of cream cheese spread which is kinda gross when you're not expecting it. Salad looked great and fresh, loads of home made croutons but the pumpernickel ones could have broken my molar. I tried 3, each harder than the next and some I couldn't even chew. Vinaigrette was far too sweet and gooey. Tables and floor were dirty enough to think that they didn't even clean the night before. Went to wash my hands on the way out and surprise, no paper towels in the bathroom. Makes you irritated that you decided to tip at the register before even getting the lousy service and experience.
Greg D — Google review
The food was great and tasted awesome. It really hits the spot when you're craving a good quality sandwich. The young lady taking orders definitely seemed like we were interrupting her and would've been much happier anywhere else but at work. Otherwise, the rest of the staff interactions were good.

Restaurant
Flo's Pancake House offers a delightful classic breakfast diner experience that feels like stepping into an old-town café. Upon entering, guests are greeted with friendly service, where you can choose your own seating and quickly receive drink options and menus. The menu features delicious dishes like perfectly seared corned beef hash served in a unique half-circle shape alongside tasty breakfast potatoes. While the scrambled eggs may not be the fluffiest for everyone’s taste, they still satisfy many diners.
Felt like I took a gamble going there, was very pleasantly impressed by the breakfast and how great it was cooked . I must say this was a hidden gem and we will definitely be coming back, highly recommend this place for any skeptical people who judge the place by the exterior. My breakfast looked like what it should , unlike a lot of other diners.

Great breakfast place opens at 6am. The hash brown and home fries are perfectly crispy. The pancake was fluffy, too! The strawberry Jam is awesome, too!
Elly L — Google review
The service there was so mediocre, like the server didn't want to be there. She could have been a little more welcoming, instead she acted like we were bothering her. The food is bland the “home fries” were burnt on the outside and not cooked with care through the inside with a burnt smell and flavor. Lazily cooked. Eggs are bland, it’s disgusting and I just couldn’t eat it. So glad we got take out and did not have to stay there. Fries are darker in person. Picture lightened it up some.
Jamie W — Google review
I would stick to breakfast choices, the lunches weren't nearly as good. I had a French dip & salad. The au jus was WAY to salty ( & I love my salt!), and the salad had carrot & celery sticks, which was sort of weird but ok. My daughter used the bathroom and deemed it a "desperation only" bathroom, so plan ahead if you dimensions here. My daughter's breakfast was beautiful & tasted fantastic. A bit of a mixed review but would go back for breakfast.
Anne S — Google review
Classic breakfast diner experience! We walked in and obeyed the wait to be seated sign, but the waitress told us to pick a spot. Before we even sat, she had our drink preferences (coffee/water) and moments later we had menus. . Of course, I got the corned beef hash (from a can, for sure), which was perfectly seared. It came in a surprising half circle, seared on both sides. I got the breakfast potatoes, which were equally good. The scrambled eggs could have been fluffier, but these were a style others love. The rye bread toast was THICK and heavily buttered: excellent. . The waitress operated solo. She was hard working, serving everyone by herself. I totally appreciated her effort, checking in frequently with everyone. Clearly, she knows her job. . I mean, reading my review you'd think I adored the place. Instead, believe that I wish more breakfast places were like this. Workaday, great food, efficient.

Asked for chicken and waffles which wasn't on the menu so they charged full price for the waffle and full price for chicken strips! Absolutely ridiculous! A d chicken was over cooked twice! French fries on the other order were over cooked too! Won't be going back ever again!

We had spinach and mushroom omelette, Mexican tres leches, Nashville hot chicken melt sandwich. The Mexican tres leches was good. But Nashville hot chicken melt was not good. It was more sour in taste. Their service was good.

Food was as quality as it can be. The server was kind. Mornings are rough but still gave their best. Wish I remembered her name. The only complaint was that she doubled charged my card with another family's. I was a solo diner and came out with a $14 check (+tip), but the other family had a $50 meal that I had not seen. Ronnie was professional to try his best to fix the situation. Walked me through the process and said it should be fixed soon. Almost two weeks later, with a call back from me, no response on their end with a charge that is still on my card. I suppose I should've been more careful.

We were greeted and seated pleasantly, given water and menus. Waitress Aimee took our order promptly and efficiently. The order went out and we waited for a very long time. Finally, about 45 minutes later, our food was served. The biscuits and gravy were bland, and biscuits were odd like a cross between a hard pancake and biscuit. The gravy, which I'm pretty sure of came from a powder form, was tasteless. The hash browns had an unpleasant oil taste, and texture was soft and felt odd. I personally won't go back there to buy a meal there.

Walked into ihop, nobody at front counter had to yell hello 3 times, took awhile to order ( 3 to 4 tables occupied) the food was the nastiest food I’ve ever had. Everything was over cooked the fries looked like they were cooked hours before. The ice Tea wasn’t ice tea, it tasted like they haven’t cleaned the container or fountain machine out in a long time. Will never eat there again.

Our coffee pot was not hot at all and our onion rings still had powdered coating on the inside. Not a big deal cause they gave us new hot coffee and the steak omelette I ordered was on point. My wife had a chicken melt which was ok but could've had more chicken on it. And our mother's enjoyed their meal. This place was however very kept up and had a friendly staff on hand.

This Denny's is a classic American diner, serving all-day breakfast favorites, friendly people and good food. The salad with fried chicken strips in it is a particular favorite of mom and hers was well done (overcooked), but everything else ordered tasted great. Wait staff was nice, the diner was clean and comfortable, and I would definitely recommend it!
It was perfect. The food was fresh (no canned mushrooms here folks), and extremely tasty. I got their double bourbon burger which was absolutely tasty. The service was very professional and on point. I will definitely be returning to this location.

$75 dollars for them to mess up an entire order. After driving half way back to get part of the order we realized more was actually missing. When we called to explain what happened we was asked to "drive back" a second time! Definitely the last time! Than got home & the food is completely cold!

My whole life I heard how Denny's would give you a slam breakfast for your birthday. For the first time in my life I decided to take them up on that offer. So I Googled it and it confirmed that Denny's still does that and all you had to do is download the app and show up with your ID proving it's your birthday. So I show up at the restaurant and while I was inquiring about the offer to the manager I was then informed that this Denny's restaurant is not a franchise and is independently owned and will not honor the offer specifically saying his hands were tied and can't do nothing because they don't have a button for it. I couldn't help but think how pathetic is that after all the time and effort put in with following instructions to the T and showing up at the restaurant. I explained that was from Texas and looking for work and was really looking forward to this meal hoping that for once in my life I could utilize this offer. The manager could have cared less. I have forgotten more about managing than this kid will ever know so do you think I'm ever going to go back to Denny's again. Not likely for the rest of my life not to mention I will tell this story to others. I know what I would have done because I have heart but this immature manager obviously didn't. I've been going to Denny's for a half century and l am beyond totally disgusted. What a way to treat a loyal customer.

The manager had a bad attitude. We tried to order through the drive through and the lady didn’t even know how to work the Ipad. Why would you have someone work that if they don’t know what they’re doing? So then we got told to order inside so we wait in line (there was no line) for ten minutes then finally get seated. And then we wait at a table for god knows how long while our waiter is too busy with people who just walked in. In total we waited an hour to even order and didn't get the chance to because at that point I was fed up and wasn’t going to wait any longer. Don’t recommend going there unless you want to deal with idiots bad attitudes and not being able to order.
