Seafood restaurant
Glacier Brewhouse is a lively restaurant with a strong emphasis on wood decor, offering a menu featuring local seafood and wood-grilled meats alongside their own house-brewed beer. The oatmeal stout, served on nitro, presents deep and velvety flavors with subtle notes of coffee and roasted flavors. For an enhanced experience, the oak-aged version aged in Jim Beam barrels offers increased depth of flavor with hints of whiskey and cherry-like fruitiness.
Must do restaurant. Went after Princess Cruise, we beat the crowd but it gets busy. Saturday so had the seafood scramble and it was outstanding! Cheesy grits was my side and also great. Co diner said seafood salad was excellent. Burger and pizza was also good. Didn't try any beers but all hose made. Try it!

We visited this place twice during our trip to Anchorage, and honestly — it’s the best spot in all of Alaska! The food is absolutely outstanding — the halibut is next-level delicious, perfectly cooked and fresh as it gets. The beer selection is on fire 🔥, and the crispy potatoes are simply amazing — the kind of side dish you actually remember! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff is super friendly, and everything feels authentic Alaskan. It’s the kind of restaurant where you walk out smiling and already planning to come back. I give it my highest recommendation. If you’re in Anchorage, don’t miss this place — it’s a must-visit!

Based on a trolley tour guide recommendation, we stopped in for lunch. An awesome beer selection and a full bar were a nice surprise. We sat at the bar and Heather provided excellent service. She was so pleasant and helpful with menu selections. We started with the calamari (steaks not rings); I had grilled salmon and husband chose shrimp & grits. There were no disappointments with any of our selections.

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ We had the opportunity to dine at Glacier Brewhouse while visiting downtown Anchorage, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The ambiance was inviting, with a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. Seating was comfortable, and the layout of the restaurant gave it a cozy yet upscale feel. Service was excellent—our server was friendly, attentive, and timely with both orders and refills. The staff handled everything professionally, which added to the positive impression. As for the food, we ordered the fish and chips, which we had been craving throughout our trip. While the fish tasted good, the portion size was underwhelming, especially considering the price point. Coming from South Texas, where fresh seafood is abundant and generously served, we expected a more robust serving—especially this far north where one might assume we’re closer to the source. We understand every region has its standards, but the value didn’t quite align with our expectations, particularly for a dish as classic and simple as fish and chips. That said, Glacier Brewhouse is still worth visiting for the atmosphere and service alone. We might return to try other menu items, but next time, we’ll explore other options for seafood.

We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and hoped the 20 minute wait would be worth it. Oh, was it ever! The service, food and atmosphere were excellent!! We started with the pretzel breadsticks fondue, which was so great! My husband got the King Salmon special. He said it was the best salmon he’s ever had and would eat it over having a steak any day! I had the shrimp and grits and I was in awe! They were the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had them from Florida to New Orleans and now Alaska and these were amazing! The combination of flavors were incredible! I also added a side of asparagus to my meal. It was grilled and seasoned to perfection! Our server was very attentive and great with recommendations. We will be coming back very soon! I do recommend getting a reservation if you don’t have time to wait. Thankfully, we did and it was well worth it!

I have always loved Glacier Brewhouse, especially as a place to bring out of town guests for amazing Alaska seafood. Last night I had THE BEST king salmon I’ve had in my entire life. I’ve always received great service. Be warned, it gets loud in this lively restaurant, so it may not be the best place to have a quiet conversation (or, be warned if your dining partners are hard of hearing). But if you want an amazing meal in Alaska, this one is at the top of my list. I do recommend reservations if you’re trying for an evening, weekend meal. I also tried the pickle martini last night for a change up, and if you’re a pickle fan and you love dirty martinis, I’d recommend trying.

This place was a random stop on a very beautiful Sunday afternoon. The host, the waiter and even the chefs were super friendly here. I ordered a clam chowder and I can say that this was by far the best clam chowder I’ve eaten in my life. This place is a must visit when you’re in Anchorage, Alaska. Thank you guys for the amazing experience! Will be coming back.

Outstanding dinner spot. Lots of delicious seafood options and everything we ate was phenomenal. We both wanted to try the king crab so we got a 10oz add on which was perfect. The appetizer sampler was also a great pick to try a few different appetizer options- I couldn't pick my favorite from the trio. The brewhouse itself also has a great selection of different beers. My favorite was the raspberry wheat. Highly recommend giving this spot a try for a "nicer" dinner in Anchorage.

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

This is a very popular spot in Anchorage. They told us it was a 45 min wait Sunday night, so we went back on Monday. Very good food! I highly recommend the Mango Habanero Chicken Bowl and Blueberry Serrano Wings. Service was good.
Joey R — Google review
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.

Really enjoyed our visit. Staff was attentive, food was good except for their tortillas that go stiff and cold within seconds. We enjoyed their fish tacos and asked for spicy salsa. They brought us a house made green and red salsa; both really good!

Restaurant
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!

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.

Jack Sprat is a popular restaurant in Girdwood, Alaska, known for its creative dishes and vegan options. The airy, wood-dominated space offers stunning views of the mountains through floor-to-ceiling windows. The warm golden glow from within adds to the welcoming ambiance. The restaurant caters to both vegetarians and carnivores with a variety of meat and vegetable options on the menu. Additionally, there are plenty of vegan choices available.
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.

This was honestly the best meal I've had in a while. Our server was incredibly welcoming. Our meals were amazing. The Mama Mia! might be the winner. I appreciated the extensive kids menu. The Birds and the Trees was a great healthy option. Not sure how they cooked those carrots, but they were to die for!

Edit: changing my review. Previously had posted some frustration about showing up to a private dinner. However, we made it down the following weekend and were sat immediately. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I had the ribeye which was excellent. My daughter had the kids chicken, rice and broccoli dish and my wife had the bipimbop. Everything was great and all the food we saw coming out to other tables looked fantastic as well. Worth the 2nd attempt for sure and would love to come again. Prices were fair as well.

i’m so glad I decided to look up restaurants on the way home from Seward instead of getting back to Amsterdam where everything was probably already closed. I called ahead to this restaurant because we were only gonna have 40 minutes before they close. They said come on in. Salmon was fantastic, also got yummy bimbap bowl and a cider on tap. Insanely beautiful views! Great customer service. Great music playlist for this “hip” millennial. 🤗

My friends and I arrived at Jack Spray after it was closed but the gentleman working allowed us in and let us order rose! It was such a nice gesture and created a fun memory for my friends as I as we were visiting Alaska on vacation! The rose was great and the atmosphere made it all the more magical. It was the perfect stop for a quick drink before exploring more of Girdwood. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the Girdwood area!

Amazing banana foster egg roll. Duck was good but not enough fried rice to accompany it. My friends scallop mac and cheese was great too but the scallops were kind of small. Overall delicious, and amazing service.

Over the top food and drinks, artfully crafted to mimic an Upscale LA or NY experience. Very nice for special occasions. Modern food, incredibly attentive service with stellar recommendations. I’d term it posh but not pretentious in style, quite nice without feeling too fancy- well worth going at least once

amazing service and food! i went in for a solo dinner right when they opened and the staff was very sweet and attentive. i started with the tuna over crispy rice and it was very flavorful and a generous amount of tuna. the rice was the perfect texture, crispy but just soft enough to pair with the tuna. the steak frites was delicious. my steak cooked perfectly rare and the fries tasted very fresh. the banana foster cheesecake egg rolls were the perfect dessert. like actually insane once the server put them on my table it only took her like 3 minutes to take my cleared plate. i ordered them with vanilla ice cream which i highly suggest.

Great downtime-Anchorage dining experience with delicious, Asian-fusion food, cocktails, service, and ambiance. The restaurant offers many gluten-free and vegetarian options on the menu.

The dish I got was the scallop Mac and cheese and what a treat. Not nearly as overtly oily as it might suggest with the addition of peppers. My aunt got the green curry which she loved. Fair warning the hot sauce they make in house is HOT but so flavorful. Fantastic evening. Worth the money.

Steak house
Restaurant
Club Paris is a renowned steakhouse located in downtown Anchorage, Alaska, boasting over 60 years of history. The restaurant's classic ambiance features dark wood paneling, leather booths, and elegant chandeliers. Known for its signature hand-cut steaks aged to perfection and cooked over a mesquite grill, Club Paris offers an exceptional dining experience. Additionally, the menu includes a variety of seafood options such as halibut, scallops, prawns, and red king crab.
Walked around and saw this quite nice place the night before,due to lining up, decided to come back the next day for lunch. Still lines around 1pm with no reservation, very popular place. Was looking forward to the king crab legs, but not available for lunch menu, ordered lunch steaks instead, was also nice. Great place to recommend!

Like a dinner. The booths are really old. Your China is on the table. Our waiter was great. He just moved back to Anchorage and was very helpful. The meat quality was just ok. Over rated restaurant. The clams were cooked so long they had no flavor.

My husband and I didn't have reservations but we were lucky that there were seats available at the bar. We got that escargot, Halibut and New York strip (both were good but the Halibut was definitely our favorite!! ). It was nice and quiet in there which was nice.

My wife and I went to club Paris for a impromptu lunch date. Upon entering we were met with a line of people waiting. The restaurant was packed full on a Friday. Because we had plenty of time on our hands we decided we would go ahead and wait. It's lucky that we did because the weight was less than 15 minutes and we were sat and ready to order within minutes after that. I am one of the lunch specials a Alaska king crab melt with a side of fries. My wife had the lunch special of quiche Lorraine. It took a little while for the food to come out and our server was on top of the kitchen asking where was one of the items that she was missing for our meal. I think realizing their mistake the kitchen immediately dished up a plate of the quiche for my wife. My wife of course had some of my fries and some of my melt. Surprisingly she didn't offer me any of her quiche. I'm just now realizing this a day later that I got swindled. Anyways we both thoroughly enjoyed our food and enjoy the atmosphere. The service was outstanding the server was very attentive. My glass of water never got empty. She was always right on top of any of our needs. We were pleasantly surprised when the bill came out lunch was $32 and of course we added a tip. We were comparing it to a restaurant across the street, Sullivan's. The same meal at Sullivan's would have easily cost us over $100. And it would have been nowhere as tasty as what we had at club Paris. If you haven't been to club Paris I highly recommend it. We will definitely be going back for more impromptu lunch dates.

Our first Steak House in Anchorage. We tried all of the sides, the rib eye, filet mignon and crab legs. Here is our rating. Crab Legs - 10/10 - very good but very expensive. A pound of them set us back $170 Filet Mignon - 9/10- it was delicious and we had it stuffed with Blue Cheese. Cooked perfectly. Why a 9/10- because the filet just wasn’t a great cut. Most likely not prime beef. Rib Eye- 7/10 - Cooked a little heavy on one side- a lower quality rib eye- but still good. Steak Fries - 7/10 - good fries, nothing spectacular Rice Pilaf - 10/10 - AMAZING- enough said. Baked Potato- 9/10- gold potato-the toppings were good but cheese sauce was a little much Overall thus was a good place to eat. A little over priced, and a little slow due to them being extremely busy. The staff was AWESOME! Very good service and the waitress was hustling around the whole time. What could make this place better? IMO they need to either increase staff or reduce customers. The chefs and staff being overloaded took away from the quality of the meal. They need to use better quality meat (this might be something that is harder and more expensive to get in Alaska-my first time here so I only have the lower 48 steak houses to compare it to). Final thoughts- for a meal, with no alcohol drinks, that cost $365 before tax it was a little below average, and I would expect much more back home, even at a nice place in Lake Tahoe (overpriced). It was good food and amazing staff.

First thing I want to mention is reservations are HIGHLY recommended. We visited on a Wednesday evening without a reservation and got lucky with availability at the bar. Steve, bartender, was very attentive. Husband ordered the prime rib end cut and claimed it was incredible. I had the teriyaki chicken and found it delightful. Carrot cake was delicious. If you get the chance, please visit.

I am not from Alaska. I was just visiting. I decided to stop here with a couple of coworkers. This has been my favorite restaurant so far. Although it was a bit pricey, my steak was tender and amazing. I tried the filet mignon teriyaki steak tips. I also got to try the stuffed mushrooms which were also great. My steak fries also fantastic and they also have a sweet red wine which I loved because I often cannot drink wines at restaurants as they don't offer my favorite which is a sweet red. I am extremely impressed with the food Service was very quick with not a lot of waiting for your food. They also had bread which was also great. I had a really good experience here. I only spent just over 80 bucks for my food and a tip and two bottles of wine. The sweet red came in these little mini wine bottles.

An awesome decor and a great place to eat and have some drinks. Ordered artichoke dip with pita bread. Serving size was generous and it was outstanding. Chicken wings were delicious. The berry salad was a treat. Apple and prosciutto pizza was good with awesome crust. Service was friendly

The Rustic Goat is a must-try! We ordered several dishes. Hummus – I Loved the rustic veggies that topped the hummus. The hummus had that perfect creamy texture. THE HEAT MISER Pizza – Total standout! The crust was soft and flavorful, and the reindeer sausage with caramelized onions made it next-level delicious. Alaskan Scallops – The curry sauce was sooo good—spicy with a nice kick, so be ready for some heat. Shrimp Scampi – Good, but I’d probably skip it next time and try something new. Overall, super tasty with fun flavor combos that make it worth the visit!

During a trip through Alaska, we stayed in Anchorage and decided to try this restaurant. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere was really fun and lively. We had to wait a bit before being seated, but only like 10min. There were 3 people in my party and we all got different dishes. They all looked and tasted so good that we all shared some of our food. We also tested multiple desserts and they were also amazing and tasted so fresh! The waitress was also really helped and gave us the run down of the menu. We found out that the chef actually makes changes to and updates the menu based on the season, and it really makes a difference in the quality of the food. Overall we had a really good time and impressed with the food.

Our dinners were great - drunken clams with reindeer sausage and pork sausage, and the pasta. Off the charts flavorful. We could not get a table reservation so we ate at the bar. The negatives - the pita bread was under done and had to be sent back and still was not cooked enough on the second try either. So bummed that All the beer taps were not operational so draft beer was a bust. The bartender/server, Adam, seemed nice but almost too busy vs attentive for our needs. So, it was a 5 on food and a 3 on some other things. VictorB

Rustic Goat is hands down the most comforting food and atmosphere in town. I’ve lived in Anchorage my whole life and can’t say enough how fortunate our neighborhood is to have Chef Frazer and his staff. They genuinely care about not only cooking good food, but caring for their customers and each other. A rare find of compassionate, relaxed and caring staff, and the most divine food. Our biggest stressor is deciding what to get: it’s all so good. If it’s your first time the clams and sausage are to die for, their wings are our favorite ever, the nachos are always perfect and you can never go wrong with the specials or a steak. Don’t miss out on desert either!

I went for my birthday since it was one of the few "fancy" places open on Tuesdays. They printed out personalized birthday menus which was so cute and it's half off of dessert for birthdays. I got the elk, thai lettuce wraps, and creme brulee and both were very good. My boyfriend got the Kalbi bowl. If I had one slight complaint, its that the creme brulee tasted kind of burnt, like they torched it a little too long. But everything else was good
Chris B — Google review
I tried the chicken pizza and it was delicious, although there were only a few options to customize it. The Thai chili wings were very good as well. The only downside was the wait time. We were told it would be about twenty minutes but it ended up being closer to forty five. It was raining, so that might have caused some delays. Overall, the food was tasty and I would recommend visiting

Marx Bros Cafe is an upscale restaurant in Anchorage known for its creative seafood dishes and extensive wine selection. The menu, curated by renowned chef Jack Amon, features experimental contemporary cuisine using high-quality ingredients that are changed daily to keep things fresh. Diners rave about the halibut cheeks and bread pudding, as well as the table-side preparation of the Caesar salad. The restaurant offers an elegant setting with excellent service and a diverse wine cellar.
I think I've been to the Marx Bros Cafe when I was little, but I don't remember that visit. I just went recently to celebrate my dating anniversary with my fiancé. It was very nice! I love the cozy atmosphere inside. Our server was very attentive and the all of the staff was polite. My favorite part of the evening was watching them make the Caesar Salad fresh table-side, I highly recommend it! Our meal was amazing! I had the duck and my fiancé ordered the pork chop. From what I understand, some of their main menu changes every so often, so it gives you a reason to come back in the future and try new dishes! It is a pricier restaurant, but definitely worth it.
Mari R — Google review
Right away when The Marx Bro’s Cafe announced on social media they were retiring, I made a reservation for my husband and I’s anniversary. Over the past month I’ve heard of people unable to get reservations and a BIG wait list. Last night it was finally time for our reservation and it was an amazing experience and maybe not for the reasons you think. Sure, the food was delicious & yes the service/timing was impeccable as always, but the realization of the history and personal connections/impact is what stood out most to me. Our server was the same server who helped us last time we were in for my husband’s birthday. I sat there wondering what their employees would move on to next, if I could get a recipe book, where the art was going and who would take the building over next. I looked around and saw many friends and families enjoying their night laughing, smiling & reminiscing. I asked the gentleman making our Caesar salad what his plans were after the restaurant closed next week. “Be a farmer,” he said. He has never been a farmer before, but will be able to spend time with family he hasn’t seen in years. He will be driving the Alcan with family to Mexico. Alaska provided an opportunity for him to pay off his debts, work hard and create a life he only ever dreamed of. He came to AK to get away from CA, where he could no longer sell cars, due to living the fast life of too many speeding tickets. Our conversation was a lot longer, but you could tell Van, Jack and his other restaurant family has had a big impact on his life. I hope the best for him on his new journey. On the art, I noticed round pink garage sale stickers. I asked what they were for. They were pieces that had already been sold and a couple he pointed out the owners were keeping for themselves. There was only 4 left, not claimed yet. How cool for people to have a piece of history. Now, who would take the building over? I for sure thought another restaurant would swoop it up, but then there’s the risk of the new owners changing too much/ruining what’s been built up for 40+ years. A non profit that makes meals for the homeless will occupy the building, which I think is wonderful. We also discussed their chef who sadly passed years ago and the connections. I’m a 911 operator and vividly remember the day we got the call. Sounds like all who knew him were very lucky. I also overhead a guest conversation about someone not being present working last night. The reason was due to the abuse they’d been receiving for the past two weeks, with people unhappy they were unable to secure reservations. This makes me sad. This is not the Anchorage I want to be a part of, where we send beloved members of our community into retirement in a hateful way because we don’t get something we want. We can do better! Sure, easy for me to say since we did get a reservation, but I would feel the same way even if I didn’t get one. We should be celebrating, respecting, encouraging and thanking this fine establishment into retirement and remember how blessed we are for the legacy they’re leaving behind and ever even being a part of our community. P.S. the halibut cheeks, Caesar salad & scallops were my favorite from our meal. We didn’t have room for dessert unfortunately. I wanted one of everything, but my body said otherwise.

Definitely, a must visit when in Anchorage. Small menu, nice wine list, not huge, but solid selection. My friend who loves craft beers had a good selection and was happy to see what they had. All in all, great meal, our Server, Amanda was perfect! Go and treat yourself. Oh yeah, someone in our party had a dairy allergy and they were great at checking with the Chef and offering options. That doesn't always happen but Amanda made it easy for us.

Tried this place based on reviews seen. I give this place 4 stars. The negatives for me were waiting a long time for dinner after the appetizers, but it is also a small place as was quite busy at the time of our seating. Second negative, both dinners were not hot just warm. The dinners we tried were the Kodiak scallops and the halibut. The appetizer was halibut cheeks which were amazing, and were served hot. We tried tiramisu and carrot cake and both were great!! Waitstaff were friendly and attentive. Definitely a place to try if you have not been here.

Delicious food especially on a cold Alaskan night. Marx Brothers has great service and very cosey atmosphere perfect for a double date. All (4) of us had the Ossu Bocco, which was incredibly delicious. We started with the Melitzano Salata, Alaskan Oysters, and Smoked Pork Belly. Everything was the perfect temperature, and tasted fantastic. Searched around a few places as we visited family here from Maryland, and were satisfied with the Marx Brothers. Hope to stop by on our next visit!

Crush Wine Bistro & Cellar is a popular spot in Anchorage that offers a wide selection of wines by the glass or bottle, along with shareable plates, all in an unpretentious setting. The bistro has been a welcome addition to the town since its opening in 2010, providing access to a variety of wines beyond the typical California selections.
It's easily the best restaurant I've been to in Alaska. Everything from the service to the food was on point. The Halibut with the miso cream was the perfect dish. The fish had an amazing sear with a tender interior, elevated by this beautiful miso cream sauce. A must try and I will 100% return!

I always try to leave the review I wish others would write! First of all - this is by far the best restaurant we ate at in Anchorage and honestly one of the best we’ve had, and we are big foodies. That being said, we rated the service low because although our waitress was attentive and incredible it took 3 hours total from start to finish. Appetizers -*Oysters baked - oh my gosh probably the best ones we have had and we live on the coast! -Ravioli was creamy and delicious -Goddess salad was also very delicious Meals *-The salmon special was excellent. The flavors were incredible. One of the best salmon entrees we’ve ever had. It came on top of Parmesan risotto. There was a poached egg on top (which was delivered later kind of taking away from the overall presentation). Overall an amazing dish. -The prime rib entree was good but wouldn’t say it stood out when compared to the fish entree. Dessert They were out of baked Alaska so we got the crème brûlée and the chocolate graham cracker dessert. They were both delicious. Overall great experience. Only suggestion is that the restaurant could certainly benefit from some improved efficiency to decrease the length of stay for customers.

The place is nice and the staff too. Unfortunately there weren't many vegan options. There was a chance to make a couple of dishes vegetarian but no vegan option on the menu. Nevertheless the time I spent there was nice and even if they were very busy the staff was nice and helpful. The dishes looked tasty and elegantly plated some even artistic. They definitely have a proper Chef there. I'd hope in the future they'll have a couple of vegan options. for what I've seen the chef seems very capable to amaze us all.

We were recommended a visit to Crush by a local and looked forward to dining there during our one night in Anchorage last Thursday. While we were seated promptly and the drinks were great, our dinner took over an hour to arrive without communication from our server. When we finally asked for our salad first or crackers to tide over our hungry teen (after 55 minutes), we were denied both, told the kitchen was slammed and that they would get our meal out to us asap. Dishes trickled out over 20-25 minutes, meaning we couldn’t eat together. The food was delicious, but the service was disjointed and disappointing. Despite the server’s apology and mention of possibly comping items, nothing was removed from our bill. When we asked about it thinking she maybe forgot she had said that, first she came back with no, there’s nothing she can do. We told her how disappointing that was under the circumstances, and she said she understood. She then came back again and offered to comp a 3rd dessert - odd, since we didn’t need it and had already paid for two. It felt like a missed opportunity to turn a frustrating experience into a positive one. The bill was over $200 so choosing not to comp a glass of wine or a dessert that would have cost them $5 or 6 (if even) is just bad business. We had planned to buy a bottle of red to bring back to the hotel room. The tip was cut in half and the $20 they would have made on the wine sale forfeited...all for what exactly? Lost $, this bad review, and no future recommendation from us. In conclusion, we were confused and disappointed by the lack of hospitality. Would not recommend.

Jens' Restaurant is a hidden gem located in a strip mall, offering inventive Continental cuisine with Scandinavian and European influences. Executive Chef Nancy Alip continues the traditions of Jens Hansen, infusing classic dishes with modern updates. The menu features dishes like halibut and black cod served with creative accompaniments such as carrot-ginger-basil pesto and butternut squash.
Jen's was a hidden gem. We actually found it because most other places were closed at 9pm and they stayed open late for us to finish dinner. Excellent! The fine dining experience was very satisfying. Our server was very prompt, professional, and entertaining. I had the halibut with mushrooms, mashed potatoes and fried zucchini. It was the best dinner of my entire visit to Anchorage. My wife ordered the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly medium and was so juicy and flavorful she was talking about it for days. The server recommended a wine to go with the halibut, and I wish I would have noted it but it added so much to the meal. It both complimented the fish and helped clear the palette. If we ever go back to Anchorage, Alaska we will make it a point to return to Jen's and experience the next concert of flavor they have in store for us.

The food was Okay. Nothing to be excited about. The calamari was amazing but everything else went downhill from there. The bread was cold and just sliced sandwich bread, nothing special. The salads were mediocre, flavors blended and not that great. I had the beet salad and my husband had the Cesar salad, his was way too vinegary not even sure it they even used anchovy sauce. The pasta was horrrrrrible not even cooked properly and the sauce was bland and not very favorable. I had the ribeye steak and it was totally fatty could barely eat. Seasoned Veggies were two pieces of zucchini and a ton of mashed potatoes. The chutney was cold and not great. So bummed heard so much about the restaurant and couldn’t wait to go, I don’t think I’ll ever go back. Can’t believe it had such high reviews. It was my birthday tonight…. Booo Jen Roy

Jen's is one of Anchorage's best kept secrets. The food is high end. The service is great and the employees really care to provide a great experience. We had oysters and they were delicious. The filet I had was as a great cut and portion. The cherry-bacon compote on top was spectacular. The deserts really hit a home run for us. The key lime pie, flourless chocolate cake and carrot cake are 3 of my favorites and they were all amazing.

Loved this place. The staff were friendly and attentive. Katherine was great! I wish I hadn't aggressively eaten the charcuterie board before I could get a picture. It had so many flavor combinations to try. The the house salad with the strawberry vinaigrette was light and refreshing as it was a bit warm outside today. Our steaks were seasoned and cooked perfectly. My filet fell apart in my mouth. The scalloped potatoes were a perfect contrast to the seasoned filet. We will see you again! Thanks 😁

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Anchorage Treasure—Exceptional Food, Service, and Soul Jen’s Restaurant is more than just a place to eat—it’s an experience you don’t forget. From the moment you step in, you feel transported into a warm, elegant space where every detail matters. The lighting, the art on the walls, the table settings—everything reflects a level of care you rarely see anymore. But the real magic is in the food. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and perfectly balanced. You can tell this kitchen respects ingredients and understands how to turn a meal into a memory. The plating was beautiful, but the flavors spoke louder than anything. Whether you’re a seafood lover, a meat enthusiast, or into fresh, vibrant salads—there’s something here that’ll wow you. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable. It felt like they genuinely cared about making our night special. And in a world where that kind of hospitality is disappearing, Jen’s is keeping it alive. This is the kind of place that reminds you why we go out to eat—not just to be fed, but to feel something. Highly recommended for anyone in Anchorage, visiting or local. You won’t be disappointed.

Orso, meaning bear in Italian, is a popular dining spot located near Anchorage's performing arts center. The restaurant offers a menu featuring local seafood and grilled meats, complemented by an extensive selection of over 20 wines by the glass. The decor resembles that of a Tuscan villa rather than a typical bistro in Anchorage, with no deer antlers or beer rugs in sight.
For starters we had flat bread, for main course Parmesan crusted halibut and fresh catch of the day, king salmon with couscous , grilled asparagus, cherry tomatoes and olives. Well balanced dish!! For dessert we had the best bread pudding I had

Disappointed in the quality of the food. The king crab legs were good, but the couscous wasn’t edible. The grilled squash and zucchini were just okay. The grilled asparagus was very good. Service was very good. All in all, I would not go back. Even with a 20% discount due to buying gift cards at Costco, I don’t feel the meal was worth the money. The Bavarian Hefeweizen was the best part of the meal. My husband had the grilled ribeye. We both felt we make a better steak at home.

Walking into Orso, I immediately felt comfortable. The atmosphere is casual enough to keep things relaxed, but there’s an attention to detail in the décor and service that makes dinner here feel like a special occasion. I ordered the halibut, and honestly, it might be one of the freshest pieces of fish I’ve ever tasted. The flavor was so clean and bright that it almost didn’t need anything extra, though the light seasoning and perfectly cooked finish elevated it to something amazing. You could absolutely tell it hadn’t traveled far—anchored in Alaska’s seafood reputation, it tasted like the ocean in the best possible way. For dessert, I couldn’t resist the pistachio cake. I’m so glad I didn’t skip it because it was a showstopper. Moist, nutty, and subtly sweet, it had the kind of balance where every bite made me want to slow down just to make it last longer. It wasn’t overly heavy either, which made it the perfect end to the meal. The staff were warm and attentive without hovering. They seemed genuinely happy to guide first-time visitors like me through the menu, which added to the positive experience. Overall, Orso gave me exactly what I was hoping for in an Anchorage dinner: excellent local seafood, thoughtful touches, and a dessert I’ll be craving again soon. If you’re visiting, especially if you want to taste halibut at its freshest, this place is a must.

The food here was very good and we focused on seafood, namely, the king crab, and a halibut dish, both of which were fresh and delicious. A vegetarian colleague reported that the portobello mushroom parm was excellent. Service was quick and friendly and they have good dessert options too. The place gets very crowded and we reserved an early table to avoid the wait.

Best meal I’ve had in Anchorage. Crab-stuffed shrimp w/ pesto pasta was superb. Great service and great ambiance. Excellent wine by the glass selection, and wine glasses were high quality.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. The food was superb and the atmosphere very casual and comfortable. The service was acceptable if a little slow. I will definitely consider this as a dining option in the future.

This was recommended as the best place to get chicken parm in Anchorage. The chicken parm was good, although the pesto pasta had way too many vegetables, which I've never had with chicken parm. I'm used to Long Island Italian food. For that, 4 stars. Otherwise, food, service was good. I was surprised we had to pay for bread for the table though. We went September 11th.

You must, you MUST eat at Orso once in your life at least. This experience has certainly been a culinary climax and I will most definitely be back when I'm back in Anchorage. I had the Red Copper River Salmon with Rosemary Polenta and Grilled Asparagus. I was absolutely thrilled with my choice after one bite. The only complaint is that there was simply not ENOUGH grilled asparagus on the plate. My partner who hates asparagus raved about the boldness of the flavor. Speaking of boldness of flavor - the Rosemary Polenta was powerful and I savored every single course grain. Finally the salmon was executed with precision. You will absolutely be missing out if you miss out on this wonderfully decorated restaurant with unforgettable food. Cannot recommend enough!!

Nestled 2,300 feet above sea level on Mount Alyeska, Seven Glaciers Restaurant is a top-tier dining destination accessible by a scenic tram ride. Boasting AAA Four Diamond status, this refined yet inviting establishment offers a prix fixe menu that showcases local seafood and produce. The restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows provide an unparalleled view of seven glaciers and the surrounding mountains.
I had never been here and was ecstatic to see that they were offering a full vegan menu for the Anchorage Vegan Chef challenge. My husband decided to treat me to the experience and I’m so glad we went. We got fancy and the views were lovely. I was impressed with their vegan 7 course dinner. It was clear that a lot of thought and care had gone into its creation. My only feedback was that the squash and eggplants could have been cooked slightly longer but the flavors on everything were SPOT on!

I love the concept of this restaurant being located at the summit of a mountain. The views are stunning, the environment is romantic and the food is DELICIOUS. It's a great perk that the gondola ride to the top of the mountain is included in your reservation. We had an 8pm reservation and were seated at our table right away. What was disappointing is that our table was ignored for 30 minutes, while tables next to us kept receiving course after course. I'm not sure if something was lost in translation with who would be assigned to our table but no one came by with a menu or hello for a solid 30 minutes. We unfortunately had to say something to our very attentive water person. The team apologized and I do appreciate they comped a glass of prosecco on the house as a courtesy. So although our experience had a rough start, it only went up from there. The food and tasting menu were delicious! Compliments to the chef! My favorite course was the lobster bisque. It was like a flavor explosion! The coconut and mango dessert was also something very special - I loved how creative, delicious and even interactive it was. A very fun way to finish the meal. All in all, I think our experience with the service was a rare instance, the gondola rides were so fun, the food is outstanding and I definitely would recommend this spot for a special occasion or romantic night out.

Didn't care for the music. Portions were small for all the seven courses. I did enjoy the steak (quite small) and noodles (again, small). The salads were nothing to write home about. The carrot was delicious also, but that's me like a sidedish and not a meal. Too expensive for what you get. The Smores dessert was ridiculous (not much of anything on the plate as you can see in the photo). P.S. If you will have wine, just buy the bottle and save yourself $$$$

Food was tiny and hit-and-miss flavors, not worth the price. It took 2.5 hours to get the "full experience". The wait staff was polite and friendly. The atmosphere was beautiful and the facility was nice, but overall we wouldn't come back. The highlight of our trip was the included tram ride..
Samuel B — Google review
This was our first time here and like everything else at the Alyeska Resort the establishment was first class, no expense spared. Unfortunately this leaves them with charging some ridiculous prices. The tram is free if you book a reservation but if not it is $45 per person.. absolutely absurd. They have a seven course prix fixe menu but only four of the courses were what I would call good. If you want the wine pairing that they have chosen it is at an additional cost. Overall it was a nice experience to have one time but I would never go back, it was way too overpriced for the quality of food and despite the excellent service and atmosphere I can't eat either one of those.
RAW — Google review
They offer a chef’s tasting menu and we dined here during the summer, so the menu was their summer offering. The amuse-bouche was a scallop ceviche, which we thought was great. There was a nice contrast of textures between the seaweed crisp and the sauce. The foraged greens were fresh and we enjoyed the vinaigrette. The lobster bisque was our favorite part of the menu. It was rich and delicious. The agnolotti was also delicious and came in as our third favorite, with the halibut being our second. The goat cheese in the agnolotti wasn’t overpowering, the flavor was just right to complement the pasta and sauce. Then came the steak, which was an Argentinian loin with a veal jus and asparagus espuma. It was extremely tender and the asparagus was also cooked perfectly. Between the two desserts, the blueberry & lemon was by far our favorite. The mango & coconut lacked flavor and also seemed disjointed with flavors and textures between the coconut granita, pina colada, and mango flambé. The reason I gave the food and overall review 4 stars instead of 5 and my only complaint would be we were really looking forward to the halibut and steak and although they were both very good and cooked perfectly, they were a little bland and could have benefited from some salt. The veal jus sauce that came with the steak tasted almost like a plain brown gravy as well. Overall, we would most definitely dine here again. The service was excellent and the views are incomparable.

Impressive that their menu can adjust to dietary restrictions. Views were great. Our table service was good. Bar was extremely slow. The best dish I had was the vegan chocolate dessert. The best dish my husband had was the seabass. I feel like there could be some improvements to the menu.

Perched atop the Captain Cook Hotel in downtown Anchorage, Crow's Nest is a high-end restaurant known for its French and New American cuisine, extensive wine list, and breathtaking views. Named as an homage to the top of the tallest mast of ships from the late 18th century, this establishment offers a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere with a business casual dress code.
The Crow’s Nest offers a truly spectacular view of Anchorage—an unforgettable backdrop for our grand finale after a wonderful Alaskan cruise and scenic train ride to Denali. From start to finish, the service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and professional. The food was absolutely outstanding, with every course—from the salad to the dessert—prepared and presented beautifully. The salmon and steak were outstanding. I would highly recommend dining here if you're looking for a memorable culinary experience in Anchorage. Don’t hesitate—you won’t be disappointed!

Highly recommend both of those dishes!

The Crow’s Nest will always have a special place in my heart. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, and now in my 30s I can really appreciate how special it is.

Everything feels elevated but still comfortable, like fine dining without the stuffiness.

The views here over the water at sunset and also downtown are simply spectacular. The food was excellent, featuring a blend of European dishes and preparations, combined with typical Alaskan meats (king crab, salmon, halibut, cod) and some they clearly had to go beyond Alaska to get (angus beef and foie gras). A good variety of side vegetables are available. They are apparently famous for flaming bananas, but we had some kind of chocolate caramel concoction. While it is an expensive restaurant, it is very much worth it. They also have an extensive wine list. Service is very professional and attentive.

Haute Quarter Grill is a contemporary American seafood restaurant in Anchorage with a relaxed atmosphere. Chef Alex uses fresh seasonal Alaska ingredients to create unique dishes that are sure to please any taste-buds. The menu features items such as beer battered halibut chunks, blackened halibut caesar salad, and Alaskan king crab legs.
This was our absolute favourite eating spot while in Anchorage. Really great restaurant with a nice bustling atmosphere. There’s outdoor seating on the sidewalk, and seating inside around the bar by the entrance. The main dining area has slightly raised booth seating all down the one side along the wall - these are the best seats in the house IMHO. Service was super friendly and excellent- they knew the menu well and helped us order the best dishes. The fish tacos were sublime! The blue cheese walnut salad was heavenly. The kabobs were just sensational, served with a beautiful risotto. The stunning Peanut Butter Pie was just as good as the rest of the meal. It was rich and generously sized so perfect for sharing. We loved this place and everything about it! Highly recommended.

This place sounds like it would be a fine dining experience by the name and the storefront; however, it is a surprisingly casual establishment. This worked in my favor because I had been hiking all day and still had my boots on. This place has close to fine dining prices though. We had the halibut and chips and the daily special which was blackened fresh halibut with rice and a strawberry salsa. The food was great overall though the daily special seemed somewhat lacking in flavor for the price of $50. The presentation was great as well as the textures, freshness, and portion size. I don’t think it was blackened enough maybe? The flavor was like strawberry scented air. The halibut and chips however was excellent. It’s hard to go wrong with fried food but the batter was on point. The service was also top notch. Our waitress was knowledgeable and timed her follow ups well. We did not wait an unreasonable amount of time on our food. The main downside is the layout. If you don’t have a reservation, they put you in a “walk in” table or the bar. They are right next to each other. I do not really ever want to wrap up my day in close proximity to drunk people. We had to share our walk in table with another couple who only stayed for drinks. They eventually started making out with each other at the table. The couple at the other walk in table across from me were so drunk they were spilling the menus on the floor. The walk in tables have six chairs each which don’t leave much elbow room, so it was an uncomfortable experience.

This is my new go-to date night restaurant! The atmosphere is warm with lights not too bright and clean. Good for fancy date nights or celebrations. I cant say enough about the food! Very delicious! We had oysters and bread for an appetizer and it was fresh and tasty! We also had ribeye, it was juicy and tender. For dessert we had melted chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Everything was worth our money! Give it a try you will not regret.

This is a must try if you are visiting Anchorage! My family and I decided to go here since it was on DDD and the food was incredible. The spicy chicken gnocchi and creole dip were our favorites. Our server was an absolute gem and was incredibly attentive and helpful, especially since we were unable to make reservations ahead of time (highly recommend getting a reservation though). The lemon drop cocktail is also delicious!

Was kind of in a rut restaurant wise so decided to shake things up and try Haute Quarter Grill. Man oh man was it good. My wife loved her mango mojito, and she never drinks. The crab spinach artichoke dip was insane. The halibut fish and chips was delicious. The batter was light yet flavorful. I had the special (filet with bernaise sauce and king crab meat) and I loved it. The peanut butter pie was the best I've had maybe ever. Server was attentive and friendly. I'll definitely frequent this place!

The food was absolutely delicious. The menu was the perfect length and mix of options. Our waitress was so very helpful and professional. We had four in our party and we had three apps: oysters (favorite ones were the strawberry), crab and artichoke dip, and ahi tuna. We all tried each and couldn't agree on our favorite because we loved them all. For dinner, two of us had the night's special, halibut catch of the day and they thought their meal was amazing. One of us had the filet shish kabob and I had the blackened prime rib. These meals were cooked by professionals who knew what they were doing. Our only complaint would be that they started putting chairs up before we were finished, which we thought was unprofessional when in an otherwise top knotch place.

Southside Bistro is a vibrant eatery and wine bar located in downtown Anchorage, Alaska.

The cozy and intimate atmosphere makes it perfect for a date night or a relaxing dinner with friends. Their delicious offerings include red wine filet mignon, Patagonia pink prawn, sea scallops, and other delectable options that pair perfectly with their wines.
This place has a really nice atmosphere. One side is bar seating and the other side is the restaurant. The staff was great, friendly and very knowledgeable. The wine list was phenomenal!!! I believe they only serve beer and wine. I'm sure they would be fine bringing kids. I highly recommend that they're very well behaved kids. Everyone there that night were just small intimate parties of two to three people. I could definitely hear the bar side but I feel like it just helped the atmosphere. 😊 It was a very pleasant experience. We ordered appetizers entrees and desserts. I also ordered the Chevre salad. The lamb was great and the duck was amazing. I like that you can see the cooks and the chef preparing the dishes. We ordered quite a few desserts which you can see in the pics! There was just two of us... But I'll splurge on a good dessert!! And every dessert we had was absolutely wonderful!!

We arrived just as they opened for the evening and were seated immediately. Servers were professional, polite, and had good insight into menu options. We ordered the truffle fries which were a delicious appetizer, then a skirt steak and veal medallions for our dinners. Neither dish disappointed, and everything on the plates was delicious. The lingonberry sauce on the veal was particularly noteworthy and brought together the flavors in a way that I don't usually find in a fruit/meat dish. All in it was a very nice place to go have our anniversary dinner while so far from home, and we will most certainly be going back to try more menu items.

Roads were bad out to Girdwood for Double Musky, so we decided to eat out in town. I called Southside Bistro before we headed over to see if they did walk ins at all. They said they did. When we got there it took a bit to actually be greeted, we were asked by another worker if we had been helped yet before the hostess even acknowledged us. This was our 1st time here. We were told wait was about 40min for a table or could wait for the bar. After waiting about 10min a server at the bar asked us if we knew and wanted to sit at an open table in the bar area. We had no idea there was more than just the bar seats as an option. Calamari overall was great, clam chowder I wouldn't order again(flavor was not there), my rockfish with mushrooms on top was amazing(rice with it was meh though), the filet mignon was delicious (veggies and presentation was sad). For main dishes the sides seem as an after thought. Server was very nice, just slow and didn't refill drinks more than once. I had to ask for boxes and check. Dessert we did to go was just decent, sauce and whip cream were not matching for flavor. For how much we paid I expected better overall.

We like Southside bistro but my recent reservation didn’t go as expected. Booked a table for 6 and wanted to add two more people on the reservation for a friend’s birthday party. I was told I was already at max and they cannot accommodate two more people to my reservation. I asked for a separate table and was told that was not possible. I asked the person on the phone If I should just cancel my reservation and book somewhere else and she agreed with canceling my reservation. Difficult to understand why a restaurant rather loose money than make accommodation for additional people on a reservation. Good food and atmosphere just make sure not go to with 6 or more people.

This place is a Gem! Went here for Date night and got a wonderful horseshoe table on the side. Started with the flatbread and brie. The Brie was absolutely perfect. The wood fired pizza oven made an excellent flatbread. She ordered the Schnitzel and said it was authentic and very tasty. Lingonberry, and the Dill sauce were standout's. I had the pasta special. A very light and not spicy version of a Italian take on chipotle cream sauce with grilled chicken and rigatoni. It was packed full of flavo. You can tell the Head Chef has skills and training. And frankly for the price the food was excellent value. Presentation excellent. Probably one of the top 5 sit down restaurants in Anchorage. Will go again and try the Veal Tenderloin.

UMMMM SO GOOD!!!! These tacos were incredible. Absolutely get the halibut tacos street style - you will not regret it. My tip - You have to pay extra for salsa and probably don't need it.

We kind of happened upon this little gem by accident. We were hungry, pressed for time and saw the smoker outside and people happily waiting around. So glad we did!.

El Green Go's Mexican restaurant is one of the highlights of an afternoon of walking or biking in Anchorage. Don't be fooled by the size of the place. They serve big flavor in every dish. Tried the Street Tacos (Salmon and Halibut), Nachos with Brisket and the Burrito and all were fresh, flavorful and well prepared. And the portions will cure any appetite. They are very ample portions. The service was fast and friendly and our selections were accurate. The atmosphere was quaint with just a few tables but a great chance to eat in a community style and sit with folks you meet. But the restaurant is just steps from the waterfront where you can take your food and eat with a view. Parking can be challenging if you're there during the week. But on the weekend, street parking is free. The menu is good for adults and children.

The food is absolutely top notch. The service is friendly, fast and professional. The restaurant ambiance isn’t fancy, but it’s relaxed. The sound levels are moderate and would work well for a date or business dinner. Our group didn’t try any of the beef dishes, but the scallops, black cod and halibut were perfectly cooked with rich and tasty sauces that matched a nice white wine perfectly. We had the gnocchi with an aged Parmesan sauce as an appetizer I could have happily stuffed myself with as a main course.The only dish that didn’t wow me was an orange fennel salad. That said, they served absolutely superb coffee made with a French press at the table.

Red King Crab Leg is excellent, especially when served together with the Sweet Prawn Bisque. We ordered one cocktail because we had to drive back to the hotel. It was so nice of them to split it into two glasses. The house made (free) bread was good too, especially with their special butter cream. One of the best dinner I’ve had in a while. Ohhh and don’t forget about the dessert Pear. It’s not too sweet (the cream, shortbread, and the wine-poached piece of pear), which makes it the perfect dessert for me.

The food was good. There is still room for improvement. But overall experience is great. I highly recommend the bone marrow appetizer. The bread 🍞 is also on point.

Altura Bistro delivers a thoughtful, elevated dining experience that’s well worth a visit. While not every dish hit the mark, the highlights were memorable and the service was exceptional enough to make this a solid 5-star experience. We started with the Hamachi Collars, which were crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked within, fantastic opener. The Elk Tartare was another standout with its rich balance and refined texture. But the true surprise was the Sweet Prawn Bisque, which struck a superb harmony of flavor, fat, and mouthfeel, hands down a solid choice. The Poached Pear, gently done in white wine, had a lovely texture and made for a delicate interlude. We paired our meal with Louis Jadot Pouilly-Fuissé, a crisp Burgundy white that complemented the seafood and game beautifully. As for entrees, the King Salmon and Alaskan Halibut fell a bit flat, the halibut was slightly overcooked with a soggy crust, and the salmon lacked the punch we were hoping for. The Panna Cotta was solid but nothing particularly memorable. That said, the attentive and welcoming service, along with the standout appetizers and wine pairing, more than made up for the mixed entrees. I’d happily return to explore more of the menu, Altura clearly has the talent and creativity to impress.

As a restaurant trying to keep that “fine dining” experience, they could work on the ambiance of the dining room. Could have a little more background noise/music. Diming lights might also help :) our meals were VERY flavorful. The texture of my curry in the scallops was perfect! Himachi collar was so good. Will be back! Also shout out to Rambo bringing some good energy to our dinner 🙂

The chicken sandwich to go is the best thing you’ll eat. I think it’s the Nashville chicken sandwich. Not too spicy, just perfect. It’s enough to share for two people. Flavorful, perfectly cooked, delightful breading and the bun was chef’s kiss. I cannot recommend it enough. 11/10.

Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse is a laid-back hangout in downtown Anchorage, offering a vast selection of both international and local beers. The Tent City Taphouse within the alehouse features a carefully curated list of rotating local brews, including their own house beer. Recently, they collaborated with 49th State Brewing for a special dinner event featuring beer pairings.
The Hunters Pie was very good, highly recommended. My wife had the Cod Tacos and my son had the Blackened Salmon with rice. All the food was delicious. Service was great even though they were busy. It has a very nice outdoor area too.

Went here while in town with family, what a great place. Several of the in-laws were questionable and turned out to be the best meals while in town. Grant gave great suggestions and changed my wife’s mind on the halibut. The horseradish crusted was delicious and I had the Hunters pie. I love me some shepherds pie and this took it to the next level. Several had the seared ahi and said it was the best ahi they have ever had. Thank you for ending out Alaska trip on a very high note. Cheers!

Visited Humpy’s and was not disappointed! The smoked salmon dip was hands down my favorite, however the halibut fish and chips were definitely another. Great food, drinks and atmosphere. I’ll be sure to visit again, whenever I plan to make my next trip to Anchorage:)

We were given this restaurant as a recommendation from our bus driver while driving to Anchorage. It turned out to be a great hit! We thought the food was great!

First of all Fiona and Catherine were excellent servers at the bar where we sat. We watched them work so hard and be so pleasant. The food was excellent. We had the halibut tacos and the halibut burger and both were great. The place was very busy but had a great vibe. It’s a restaurant and sports bar. It’s not loud so you are able to talk. We were not there when there was live music. We went on a Wednesday night.

Gonna start with this... TRY THE CALAMARI! Not sure what sort of crack they put in their seasoning but it was exceptional! On the outside - crunchy! On the inside succulent (only word I can think of!) Even the aioli was spiced perfectly! This was an absolute hit! Ordered the halibut tacos and they were good - maybe a tad underwhelming for me in that halibut is a heavy/fleshy fish and I felt like it could have been seasoned slightly better. It was supposed to be slightly blackened but I didn't taste that. The aioli was OK and the candied jalapenos didn't taste candied! Overall it worked and the portions were excellent! This dish came with multi coloured tortilla chips and salsa which I actually thought were devine! They had a nice saltiness to them that complimented the tacos! The sockeye salmon burger was good but perhaps a touch overcooked. The fries that came with it were good. Service - excellent! The staff that served us was excellent! Tried a beer on their rotational taps which was really good! This place is probably what it is hyped up to be in the evenings with the beer flowing and the food following! With live music - I can not imagine how this place would not be an instant Anchorage favourite!

Sullivan's Steakhouse is a delightful dining destination nestled in the vibrant downtown Anchorage, conveniently located within the same building as the 5th Avenue Mall, making it easy to find parking. This steakhouse chain offers an enticing menu filled with succulent beef and fresh seafood, all served in a stylish atmosphere complemented by live music. While many consider it a romantic spot for special occasions, some guests have noted that it can get quite crowded and noisy at times.
Jessica was a fantastic server! It was a great place to celebrate a birthday and wonderful first experience here. Will definitely be back. They also honored all of the special requests put in the comments when making the online reservation. The live music was super nice as well.

We had a great experience at Sullivan’s in Anchorage. The atmosphere was lively yet upscale, and the food didn’t disappoint—we enjoyed a variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts, all expertly prepared and full of flavor. Our server, Jessica, was stellar—attentive, friendly, and on top of every detail. She really elevated the whole evening. Highly recommend for a night out or special occasion.

I don’t usually write reviews, but our experience at Sullivan’s was so exceptional that I had to take a moment to recognize it—especially because of our incredible server, Eugene. From the moment we were seated, Eugene made us feel welcome, comfortable, and genuinely taken care of. He struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space to enjoy our evening. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and his recommendations were spot-on. I ordered the lobster, and my date had the lamb—both were absolutely phenomenal. The flavors were rich, the presentation was beautiful, and everything was cooked to perfection. But what really elevated the experience was Eugene’s service. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, made great drink pairing suggestions, and brought such a warm, professional energy to the table that it honestly made our night. Eugene didn’t just provide good service—he provided an experience. If you’re going to Sullivan’s, ask for Eugene. You’ll be glad you did!

Only reason I gave food 4 was had to ask them to cook my filet longer, asked for med rare and came out rare. And there were still lobster shells in the Mac and cheese. Didn't expect something crunchy in Mac and cheese. Servers are very attentive and on the spot, very polite and helpful. Was apologizing for the meat. Otherwise food was full of flavor and alot of it. When it came out I thought... That's it. But then couldn't finish it. The lobster Mac and cheese was creamy and tasty. Hubby had rib eye and loaded potato, seasoning was good and his was cooked just the way he likes it.

We had an incredible experience at Sullivan’s Steakhouse thanks to our amazing waitress, Jessica. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. Her attention to detail was outstanding — our drinks were always full, she timed each course perfectly, and she knew the menu inside and out. Jessica gave great recommendations, and everything she suggested was absolutely delicious. What stood out most was her warm personality and genuine enthusiasm. She struck the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness, making our evening feel both special and relaxed. Exceptional service like hers really elevates the entire dining experience. Jessica is the kind of server who turns a good meal into a memorable night out. We’ll definitely be asking for her next time we visit Sullivan’s!

From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warmth and elegance that sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and sophisticated, making it ideal for both intimate dinners and celebratory gatherings. The live pianist really added to the atmosphere. The menu is a masterpiece—every dish is crafted with precision and passion. The flavors are vibrant, the presentation is stunning, and the ingredients speak of freshness and quality. Standouts include the cheesesteak eggrolls, which is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that will leave you savoring every bite. It should be available as an entree! The service is impeccable. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely committed to making your experience exceptional. Our server, Michael, made the experience so much more enjoyable, he is obviously passionate about his craft. His wine knowledge is extraordinary, demonstrated in detail, with his recommended pairings, and entertaining us with the wine room details. Hunter also made an impression on us. He is personable, professional, and adept at "reading the room." His level of personality and joviality perfectly matched our table. Maria was also kind enough to take time to stop by our table to say hello and to check on us. She made sure we were enjoying our meal thoroughly, and that the service was up to her standards. She was equally enjoyable. We felt like the level of attentiveness was appropriate, all of the staff were helpful and friendly, and the food. My God, the FOOD! It was glorious. Every bite was thought-out, immaculately presented, and so delicious. The Executive Chef even came out to say hello. I didn't catch his name, but he was wearing the most festive bow! The pièce de ré·sis·tance was the dessert cocktail. It was presented in a glass smoking box, the smoke had the distinct smell of a campfire on a cold winter's evening. The presentation was a performance all on its own. Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or simply looking for a memorable meal, this restaurant delivers on every front. It’s not just dining—it’s an experience worth repeating, and worth every penny.

Nestled within the Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage, Fletcher's is a delightful pub-style restaurant that offers an eclectic menu featuring gourmet pizzas, fresh pasta, and seafood specialties. The cozy ambiance, highlighted by a stunning wooden bar, makes it an inviting spot for solo travelers or anyone looking to unwind after a day of exploration.
The waiter showed us to our table and served us water. The burger and fries were yummy. You can swap the fries for salad and soups for additional $2 more which looks good too.

Although the restaurant was extremely busy, they did their best to get us seated as soon as possible and once noticed we hadn’t gotten drinks yet, the gentleman seating people came and actually served us as well. Seems like a very supportive and helpful staff. The grilled salmon was very tender, perfectly seasoned, and fell apart off the fork. The fingerling potato’s weren’t crunchy, but cooked to perfection. The fettuccini primavera was cooked perfectly el dente, I got it without mushrooms which I highly recommend as I don’t feel like mushrooms would mix well. It was a very light delicious pasta. The deserts were incredible I wanted to try them all but we settled on the crème brûlée and the strawberry lemon tiramisu. The crème brûlée had a perfectly golden caramelized top and was perfectly vanilla and creamy. You could see the vanilla bean in the dish. The strawberry lemon tiramisui feel like is named inappropriately as it is not a tiramisu, have no coffee and the lady fingers aren’t moist but it was overall very good as a starberry lemon cake but I just think it’s marketed wrong. Would definitely come here again.

Unfortunately disappointed. First dinner was the infamous Alaska Halibut F&C. The fries were good and crispy. The fish was without flavor except for the deep fried batter. Server was friendly, but for a not very busy time, it took 20 min for him to return to my table, at which point I'd given up on dessert. Second visit was to get that previously desired dessert - blueberry cobbler, which looked amazing on the menu. Ordered it to-go and host said about 5 minutes. Which while I realized 5 minutes was optimistic, I was greatly disappointed when it came out 30 minutes later. Rushing back to the room (on the other side of the hotel) to enjoy the cobbler while it was still hot & ice cream still cold, was greatly disappointed to be met with the fragrance of charcoal when I opened the box. The small pie shaped wedge of cobbler was burnt to a crisp - only the compote on top was edible. Needless to say, I will need to enact the 2 strikes you're out on this eatery. Which is disappointing for me as I've heard others had good experiences.

Excellent lunch and dinner options. Outstanding wine list, awesome cocktails and cool bartenders. Business brings me to Anchorage and Hotel Captain Cook. More often than not, I dine at Fletcher’s. From pizza to their delicious halibut, I have enjoyed just about everything on their menu. A favorite with locals and visitors. If you are arriving later in the evening, call ahead, and make a reservation.

Don’t spend $38.00 for the worst seared halibut dinner I’ve ever had anywhere. It took a good 20 minutes for the food to arrive and when it did the fish was cold, the broccoli was so hard and cold you couldn’t cut it and the tiny 4 potato slices were burnt but cold. The plate was sent back and my husband ate his 4 tiny halibut taco appetizers and I was still waiting another 15 minutes for the second try. When it arrived the fish was hotter but the broccoli and 4 tiny potato pieces were still cold and hard. Inedible. I told the waiter again and all he did was give an apology. No offer to remake but at that point I really didn’t want to try a third time. No offer to adjust the bill. I ate the fish and paid $38.00 for a piece of halibut which in my opinion was way overpriced for what you got. I would never go back nor recommend this establishment. What a ripoff and very disappointing for our first day in Alaska.

Ordered a salad that had fresh fruit and grilled chicken. The chicken was not cooked completely. I had to send it back to cook the chicken. The salad had very little fruit. Disappointing meal. Our other meal was also not the greatest. Nice waiter. Lacked a hostess. Disappointed that the restaurant did not compensate us for the undercooked chicken. That really could have gotten us sick and ruined our vacation. I don’t recommend this place.

Making reservations was a breeze, thanks to Julie, who ensured everything was taken care of with her excellent communication and follow-ups. Our server, Aaron, was outstanding—attentive, professional, and thoughtful, making sure our every need was met.

I would give this restaurant and chef a Michelin star. The pairing and composition of flavors and textures in most of the dishes is nothing less than genius. The flavors are rich, complex but balanced to perfection. Every bite felt like heaven. The use of high quality fresh ingredients in all dishes is evident. For appetizers we ordered the Gorgonzola fondue, seafood fusion soup cauliflower crème soup and poached pear salad, for the main we ordered the Alaskan halibut and Alaskan black cod which was brilliant. All the portions are generous, the prices for the appetizers soups salads and deserts are surprisingly low vs their superb quality. The ambience and vibe in the restaurant are friendly and welcoming. Our waitress Kimberley was professional energetic and knowledgeable, accurately explaining every dish. Wonderful remarkable experience!

Kincaid Grill offers a refined dining experience with a menu that’s creative, well-executed in parts, and slightly uneven in others. We started with the Pork Belly Appetizer, which was a standout. The texture was spot-on. Crisp exterior, tender interior, and the combination of hot honey glaze, crispy polenta, frisée & fennel, and pickled red onion created a perfectly balanced bite. This dish set the tone for what we hoped would be an exceptional meal. The Seafood Fusion dish was bold and beautifully composed with king crab and lemongrass-infused coconut milk bringing vibrant, aromatic depth. The only out-of-place element was the shrimp-mushroom wonton, which felt like an odd fit with the rest of the flavors. The Roasted Alaskan Oysters, though technically from the Pacific Northwest, were large, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Another highlight was the Black Cod, glazed with miso and paired with sesame-ginger scallion. It was silky, rich, and expertly cooked, easily one of the top dishes of the evening. Unfortunately, not everything hit the mark. The Alaskan Halibut was underwhelming, bland and lacking acidity or punch, especially compared to the more dynamic dishes on the table. The Gumbo also failed to impress; it felt flat and one-note. On the dessert front, the Crème Brûlée was standard fare, nothing wrong with it, just nothing special. The Cookies & Cream Semifreddo, however, was a fun and satisfying end to the meal, with a creamy, nostalgic sweetness that elevated it above the typical dessert offerings. All in all, Kincaid Grill delivers a thoughtful menu with a few standout dishes that are well worth trying. While not every plate was a hit, the highs were truly memorable and show the kitchen’s potential when everything clicks.

Kinley's Restaurant & Bar is a chic establishment in Anchorage, Alaska, helmed by the renowned Chef Brett Knipmeyer. The restaurant boasts a modern ambiance and offers an array of New American meat and seafood dishes. With a focus on fresh Alaskan seafood, Kinley's provides a delightful dining experience with its friendly service and expertly prepared cuisine. The menu features innovative creations such as halibut cheeks served with various delectable accompaniments.
The drinks were good. The Arctic Sunset in the champagne flute were not too sweet and the Sweet and Heat was just the right blend of spiciness in a drink. The last drink with dessert was Tequila Mockingbird and it was slightly too much Tequila for me but may be right up the alley of someone else. The entrees were phenomenal. The short ribs with pappardelle flat noodles, crispy parsnips, bok choy, and creamy coconut sauce reminded me of Indonesian rendang. The duck breast with the verde sauce was definitely the best duck I've ever had. The chocolate truffle cake was a ganache, flourless cake. Great for chocolate lovers. The strawberry rhubarb cheesecake was great as a cheesecake but left room for more rhubarb. It felt about only 5% rhubarb. Hands down one of my top 5 best meals in Anchorage. Pricey but worth it once. Great meal for a snowy Spring afternoon.

I started with the fried brie, and it was fantastic. Took most home so I could eat my meal. 2nd, I had the beet salad, was unimpressed - the beets were to be roasted, they tasted canned; too much basil oil- would not get again. Lastly, I got the 1/2 order halibut cheeks over risotto. I highly recommend it! Full of flavor, took most of that home as well. If possible, the leftovers were even better the next day. My husband got the fish and chips, he said the halibut was great. Service was good. We called ahead for a table. They were busy.

The Calamari Steak was a true masterpiece—perfectly pan-seared and topped with a delightful tomato and herb Béarnaise sauce, which paired wonderfully with the garlic bread! The pan-seared Halibut cheeks, lightly dusted and served on a rich pancetta and pea risotto, were also extraordinary. Adding lemon brown butter, fragrant basil oil, and a zesty Balsamic reduction created an incredible flavor explosion with every bite! And let’s not forget the lemon cheesecake—it’s an absolute game-changer in desserts! What an incredible dining experience!

Great meal, flavors were all spot on. The hummus with the fried pita was very well done. The French onion soup was solid, both the cheeks and almond encrusted halibut were on point. The red sauce really is what took the almond encrusted to the next level. Desert was the truffle cake. Darn good. Could use a little more of the raspberry sauce but really hit the spot with a little coffee.

The place has become popular among families and even allows well-behaved dogs inside.
The food and milkshakes were good! Attention to detail to make sure the order was correct was great. They put your milkshake in a cooler once made, until your order is ready. The restaurant was cool inside and had a nice view of the stream by the window, or you could sit outside by the stream. Just a note, as mentioned. Cash only!

I visited here twice during a week long stay in Anchorage. First I had a halibut sandwich with a huge unsweetened tea(😍 was thrilled to have fresh brewed unsweet tea) and on my 2nd visit I had a bacon burger. Both of the sandwiches were good. The burger was sizable, I finished the second half the next day. Service was faster than expected from the given times when ordering online. They were VERY busy, but the staff clearly functioned well. Getting in and out of the parking lot with a left turn (in or out) is dicey - beware. A bit loud inside during the brief time I was there. Maybe quieter at tables further from the entrance.

If you are from Anchorage, odds are you have been here. If you are visiting, it is a perfect first stop. This classic Alaskan history heavy, burger stop has arguably the best burgers in town only to be rivaled by their milkshakes and atmosphere. The rustic interfering has more history than some museums and a beautiful creek view. If you are new and want the full experience I would highly recommend a burger, a milkshake and the house made onion petals. Just know this is an all cash establishment.

I absolutely adore Arctic Roadrunner—it’s classic Anchorage dining done right! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with cozy Alaska charm: wood-beamed walls, quirky local photos, and a laid-back, welcoming vibe. Joe and I both had the Arctic Cheeseburger with fries and their famous onion pieces—and wow. The burgers were juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor, and those onion pieces are completely addictive—crispy, savory, and unlike any onion ring I’ve ever had. The fries were hot, golden, and the perfect sidekick. I also love their self-serve condiment bar so you can make your burger exactly how you like it. Even without the fireplace on, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the friendly staff made the experience even better. If you’re looking for a classic Alaska burger joint with personality, history, and seriously good food—Arctic Roadrunner is it. We’ll definitely be back!

Tequila 61 is a rustic-chic restaurant in downtown Anchorage that offers contemporary Latin cuisine, featuring local seafood and an impressive selection of tequila and mezcal. The restaurant combines traditional Mexican flavors with classic Alaskan ingredients to create innovative dishes. The fusion gastropub reflects its dual heritage, with a name that nods to its location at the 61st latitude in Anchorage.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tequila 61 is a must-visit in Anchorage! We had an incredible meal here — hands down one of our best dining experiences on the trip. The food is authentic and absolutely delicious (don’t miss the tortilla soup or the salmon dinner — both were outstanding!). The drinks were just as amazing, and the vibe was perfect. This should’ve been our first stop in Anchorage and should be everyone’s #1 go-to spot. Can’t wait to come back!

From the moment we walked into Tequila 61, the ambiance set the tone for a relaxing dinner. The decor appear to be very well thought out and the flower bouquets are a very nice touch. The Latin music created a laid back vibe that made us feel instantly at home (we are visiting from Orlando). After an afternoon of hiking the Matanuska Glacier, our server Ana A started us with the berry soda and Popcorn Shrimp which was very flavorful. For our main entree, Ana A recommended the 14 oz Gaucho steak which was absolutely just what I needed. We also tried the Halibut and the Duck Confit Tacos as well as the Carne Asada Tacos. The Duck Confit was absolutely delicious!!!!! And for dessert, we wrapped things up with the Horchata Cornbread which was unexpectedly better than I thought it would be. Overall, I loved Tequila 61. If I get the chance to go again beforethe end of my trip, I'm going to try the Salmon.

I really enjoyed this spot. The decor was nice and the location was easy to find. It has a nice upscale feel to it but still comfortable for any occasion. We had the oysters, steak, and fish tacos. All the food was top notch and the cocktails were good too!

Cocktails were really good! We weren’t in the mood for margs, but their local versions of a penicillin and a sazerac were really strong and delicious! We were satisfied with the chips and guac. The entire place should have been cleaner (reason for docking one star). Staff was very friendly!!

Best food we've had in Alaska so far. Largest jalapenos I've ever seen in the stuffed jalapeno appetizers. They were delicious, with a smokey flavor in the cheese stuffing. Al Pastor chicken tacos were divine, very flavorful. Waitress knew I liked spicy food so she brought me extra salsa to try on them. Great food and service.

The Pork Chops Adobo is missing the rich, savory depth that true adobo seasoning brings to the dish. The flavors feel somewhat flat and unbalanced, lacking the vibrant punch of garlic, vinegar, and spices that typically define this classic recipe. Furthermore, the combination of refried beans served with rice feels mismatched in texture and flavor; I would much rather enjoy the hearty, zesty notes of Charro beans alongside my rice, as they complement each other beautifully and elevate the overall meal experience.

Beautiful atmosphere. Loved the decor and holiday decorations. Excellent cocktails but wasn’t brave enough to try the $40 margarita, and I am a margarita connoisseur. The tacos were good-we had the duck confit, shrimp tacos. The guacamole and salsa were good, but I wouldn’t write home about it (my Mexican mom wouldn’t say it’s good but she’s a snob). Definitely great for a date night!

Jimmy's Sushi Restaurant, located in Anchorage, offers a taste of New York-style Japanese cuisine under the guidance of owner and Executive Chef Jimmy Zhou. With nearly 20 years of experience, Chef Jimmy creates sushi that is not only delicious but also visually stunning. The Pink Lady roll, featuring crab and avocado wrapped with salmon, tobikko and scallion with yuzu and mango sauces, comes highly recommended.
Went there for my sons birthday for the first time and was very impressed. Service was fast and nice, food was great and just loved the vibe. Tried quite a few different items and loved each one. Even the octopus sashimi was good. And they so graciously brought my son complimentary fried Oreos as a happy birthday treat without us even asking!

I ordered sushi there a few weeks ago and it was not good, it was poorly made and was not as it said on the menu. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because I have heard such good things but tonight affirmed that I will not order from here again. Tonight I said let’s try their Chinese food, and I spent almost $100 on four items, and they came in styrofoam containers that were practically 1/3 full. The orange chicken and general tso’s chicken, both were mostly just breading, some pieces didn’t even have a piece of chicken in them and if there was a piece it was tiny and dried out. The sauces came on the side and the general tso’s was just the chili oil sauce that was too hot for anyone to eat. The pineapple fried rice had chunks of what looked like canned pineapple, and the rice wasn’t even fried it was like white rice with a dash of soy sauce….. The only thing that was somewhat okay was the lo mein, even that wasn’t great and there wasn’t enough in the box for 4 of us to have, which for $20+ I expect a full order. I’m not sure if they have just gone down hill, or if they came under new management, but I will not be ordering from here ever again. Way over priced, skimped on servings, and just not good food.

$26 for some fried rice and the box being barely even half way full is INSANE😂. I was shocked when i ordered almost $50 worth of food and it looked like this. Went to kennys the next day and all i can say is $17 fried rice and and i ordered the samd shrimp fried rice and they filled it so much ut barely closed. Never going back to this place again. Also i walked in here and it smelled like someones old house. It didn’t smell very pleasant. I’m extremely disappointed i wasted my money here.

This is the first time going to the “new” Jimmy’s for us. We were regulars in Eagle River. I highly recommend visiting both locations! We were a big fan of the Anchorage establishment as soon as we walked in. We ordered our usual rolls and they were consistently delicious, and perfectly made! The staff were excellent and even recommended a new roll for us to try! 10/10!!!

We visited this restaurant with an open mind and expectations aligned with its high rating, but unfortunately, our experience was quite the opposite. From the moment we were seated, the service was noticeably lacking. Aside from receiving water and soup initially, we were not attended to at all and eventually had to get up and request service ourselves. Meanwhile, we observed our server promptly seating and assisting other tables who arrived after us, which was both frustrating and disappointing. The server's demeanor was far from welcoming. While the food did arrive relatively quickly, it did not meet our expectations in terms of quality or taste. The chicken hibachi, in particular, was underwhelming and not something we would recommend. Some of the sushi rolls were decent, depending on the selection, but overall, the freshness fell short. Regrettably, this experience did not justify the trip or the price. We had hoped for a much better dining experience and, based on this visit, we would not recommend this restaurant.

Everything from costumer service, to the food, to the cleanliness of the restaurant and workers were all so amazing!! The food was so yummy! It didn’t take as long, but I could tell they made with love and effort. The rolls were so good. The fried ice cream was to die for! My husband had the mango sticky rice, which he liked it very much. I wasn’t a fan. The workers were so kind. You know how normal servers asks “How is it?” after you take the first bite? We’ll, they didn’t do that, which I like. The price was so decent, not too expensive. Overall, the best sushi place I’ve been to thus far.

It was 1pm and we were told that we couldn’t order lunch because of something going on in the kitchen so we could only order entrees. Okay that’s a little weird but I still want to eat so we stayed. We ordered 2 sesame chickens, one with fried rice side and one without fried rice side. Which is a 3$ up charge, and it still came out with burnt bottomed rice. So how does two 18$ meals go to 50$? Okay that’s fine, they are busy and just didn’t realize. Well all of this is okay, but once you charge my card for an extra 10$ for a tip that I left 2$ on is absolutely diabolical and disgusting and I will be contacting owners and managers. This experience needs to be fixed for the upcoming customers this place could have.

I ordered hibachi for takeout. Their hibachi is probably the worst thing. I've ever eaten. Just cloves upon cloves of garlic. All of the food was thrown in the container almost like it was trash and even with all the garlic it didn't have any real flavor or seasoning. Honestly for as much as I spent. I think this is going to keep me from buying from them again.

Peter's Sushi Spot offers a mixed experience, with some customers praising the delicious sushi and professional decor while others express disappointment in the slow service. The menu provides a variety of options, including specialty rolls like the 'spicy blossom' and 'hideaway'. While some patrons enjoyed their meals, others found that the advertised spiciness did not meet expectations. Despite differing opinions on service and temperature of dishes, many recommend giving this spot a try for its tasty food and accommodating staff.
All the food I ate was delicious and staff are very nice. It was a good memory during the trip so really thankful to Chef Peter. I love this place😘

Good food and Friendly staff. Service was very slow, however. The cooked foods came to us piping hot and everything was delicious. The Mongolian beef is very good! I’m accustomed to raw sushi being very cold but mine when I got it was almost room temp. It was odd but nothing that would keep me from going back. Overall, I recommend giving Peter’s Sushi Spot a try.

First time here today and loved it! The outside looks underwhelming, but please go in! The decor is really nice and professionally done. Looks very upscale inside. We sat at the sushi bar and the waitress immediately brought waters and edemame. They have quite a lot to choose from on the menu, as well as sushi specials behind the bar. Kept it simple for our first visit. I had the Best Friend Roll ($14) and it was amazingly delicious. I highly recommend trying it. It is huge, stacked with crab meat, and I barely finished the 8pc. My wife had the crunch roll ($13). We both agreed it was one of the better crunch rolls we have had. I recommend sitting at the bar to watch! On top of everything, the staff was all very friendly. (I forgot to take pictures of the dishes themselves, but we will be back)

Had a great experience at Peter's Sushi Spot. Peter serves up a "torched" nigiri that was as excellent as the ones I had in Osaka, Japan. I love contrasting a seared piece of fish with it's raw counterpart. The veggie tempura I has was also top notch. Highly recommend this spot for your sushi cravings!

The sushi was good but the service wasn't. There were very few other customers in the restaurant but it took quite a while to get our food, and the waitress never came back around so we could ask to refill my husband's iced tea. My husband really enjoyed the 'spicy blossom' roll. I liked the 'hideaway'. We also ordered the kamikaze specifically because it was advertised as "very spicy" which my husband enjoys, however it was not spicy at all, even I could eat that roll and I can't do spicy food. They do have a lot of nice options for rolls though and I like the variety of tuna options. This is one of the more expensive sushi restaurants in town but they don't do the complimentary miso soup and small salad like other places do. The decor is really nice here though, love the lighting.

Do not get salad from the salad bar. I got food poisoning. I'm not sure from which ingredient, if it was the chicken or the chickpeas or the bacon bits or what. But I got a salad from there this past Monday (6/2/25). The next day, I woke up nauseous, with a fever and *TMI* diarrhea.

The lady at checkout was incredibly rude and hostile. My mother and I were just checking out and saw an extra item scanned on our receipt so we went to the cashier who scanned our items and were just politely going to ask why we got scanned for this extra item. Instead, this other lady jumped in and was either in a bad mood from the start or maybe that’s just her personality. She started raising her voice, not even making any sense, maybe because she thinks that raising her voice makes her sound automatically correct. Either way, we walked away even though later on we were still correct as the other cashier DID scan an extra item. It did not matter but the way she talks and handles customers is truly an embarrassment to the company. Do better, thanks!

So I would like to leave a one-star review for new sagaya. Shops here plenty of times my girlfriend's mom shops here all the time my girlfriend stops to use the restroom. While I'm waiting the rude cashier told me get out. In a rude voice and that were not allowed to shower here. Keep me mind no one was showering. My gf simply was using the bathroom. For someone who is in the military nine years and did two tours in Iraq I have never been treated and disrespected like I have a new sagaya. And then I asked why I'm not allowed here she says because you still here all the time. Not once have I ever stolen from this place. She was just I don't know I've never been disrespected like that she calls herself a manager and I can see why this place is ran the way it is

This family-owned gem not only offers cozy indoor seating but also expands into an inviting outdoor cafe-style area during the summer months, located on the south side of 5th Avenue Mall.
We had an excellent meal here while on a pre-cruise tour. My salmon burger was outstanding. Tasty and fresh. It was just perfect. But even better were the garlic cilantro fries! I shared them with the couple sitting next to us and Ive made two lifelong friends! Thanks, Tent City! Worth a trip to Anchorage just for those! My cousin’s halibut was excellent.

Came with a party of four and we were able to be seated right away which was great considering this was on a holiday weekend. Ordered burgers and the short ribs with shrimp and grits. The two year old in our party said it was the best food she’d ever had. We enjoyed the anchorage style burgers with the jalapeño bacon. Short ribs were pretty good. Also had a hazy IPA which was good. Nothing mind-blowing food wise but overall we all agreed we would dine there again.

This was a very pleasant surprise. What seemed like just a mall restaurant turned out to be a nice, cozy place with a great menu and tap list. The tap list was all Alaska craft beer, a nice chance to try beer from breweries I didn't expect to be able to visit. I had a hazy from Black Spruce Brewing in Fairbanks that was excellent. If I had not been full from my excellent dinner, a spare rib poutine, I would have explored more. Service was good, but not top notch as the server did not really know the beers when my wife asked. But she was still fast and very pleasant, so it is understandable. I would return here.

As a lover of sour beers, it was awesome to see the vast selection of sour beers available. The food was immaculate as well. We ordered the Chowder and Pelmeni to start, which were both amazing. For entrees we ordered the Halibut & Chips and Beef Tips, both of which were delicious! Our server, Kayli went above and beyond to make our experience great! Kayli even offered samples of two of the sour beers when I was torn between choices. Overall, if you’re considering a place with great food, great drinks, and quality service - definitely consider Tent City Taphouse!

Whisky & Ramen is a restaurant that has gained popularity for its unique combination of whiskey and ramen. Co-owner Nicole Cusack traveled to Japan to learn the art of making ramen from masters, which reflects in the incredible variety and quality of their ramen dishes. The dark horse ramen with its darker meat and slight spice is a favorite among patrons. The drink selection is also impressive, offering a great complement to the flavorful dishes.
Staff were killer and made the absolute best first impression. I was dining solo and am always hesitant at busy places but so glad I came here! Kendrick, as well as Isaac, Stefan, and Tyler were a lovely team and executed a flawless meal. Some tourists nearby asked about the wait for their meal and they quickly brought a snack out for them. Super impressed and loved my drink, appetizer, and entree. The ambiance downstairs is the best and will be back to enjoy again!

Anchorage might be known for salmon, reindeer sausage, and strong coffee that could wake a grizzly, but I traded all that for something unexpected, Whisky & Ramen. Part speakeasy, part Japanese izakaya, this spot feels like someone mashed together Tokyo street food, Alaska soul, and a splash of cocktail wizardry. The name alone hooked me because really, who doesn’t want their noodles with a side of whisky fire? Started the evening with a glass that looked more like a garden centerpiece than a cocktail, the Southern Anorak. Mango-chili shrub, ginger-infused honey, citrus, and ginger beer. Basically, Alaska decided to wear a tropical jacket and throw a party in my glass and yes, it was as good as it looked. Then came appetizers: Izakaya cucumbers (proof that even vegetables can dress up for a night out) and Hamachi Crudo, a bright plate of yellowtail with citrus chili kosho, black garlic, jalapeño-parsley oil, mandarin, and even little seagrapes. If that sounds fancy, it’s because it was and I felt like the fish was hosting its own art exhibition on my plate. For the main act, the Sugamo Star ramen, a chicken dominant shoyu chintan broth with noodles, sous vide chicken breast chashu, menma, egg, yuzu frisée, scallion, and just enough black truffle to make me wonder if I should have worn a tuxedo to dinner. And for the finale? A showstopper! Miso Baked Alaska, miso caramel folded into sweet cream ice cream with kinako cake, all topped in meringue and then literally set on fire with whisky. If dessert can double as both dinner and pyrotechnics, this was it. Turns out one of the best dinner pairings in Anchorage isn’t salmon and sourdough, it’s whisky and ramen. Comfort food meets cocktail hour!

This place is incredible. Our server was Mariah and she is awesome! This was my first time at a seafood boil. She definitely helped explain how to order and what to order.We got the snow crab and shrimp boil. There was so much food that we couldn’t eat it all.

Starting off Caitlin greeted us with waters and a smile, within the first few minutes of us being sat for our 7pm reservation this evening which went from 5 to 6 people which they accommodated with ease, there was no wait and we were seated as soon as we walked in at our expected reservation time. The service was impeccable from her from the start until the very end! Always making sure we had drinks filled, extra napkins and was there to answer any questions we had about the menu. Even though we were a little loud and rambunctious she did amazing and was one of the best dinning experiences I have had here in Alaska! Now down to the food! Everything was amazing and tasted so fresh! We started out with the loaded tots and wings combo and boy was it gone within minutes of it hitting the table! By far the best crab boil I’ve had in all 50 states! I ordered snow crab and king crab with potatoes corn and a side of garlic noodles that was to die for! But if you do go don’t forget to ask for Caitlin if you really want to experience the entirety of Inferno! So again thank you to Caitlin for really making the experience there possible!

The difference from other seafood boil is that there is no set combination such as that your order already comes with mussels, clams, shrimp, and sausage or other stuffs. We ordered the reindeer sausage and corn on the side, but when it came to our table the sausage and the corns were mixed with the boil. Still pretty good experience, just a bit pricey. It's like $20 per king crab legs. There were only four legs in the boil. Good thing we ordered the reindeer sausage and corn as additional in the boil.

We really wanted some crab legs while in Alaska. Inferno did not disappoint. They were out of king crab, so got a bag with snow crab, shrimp, potatoes, and smoked sausage. Very generous portions, especially on the shrimp. (Would recommend one person order the shrimp, its enough to feed 2 or 3 people). The crab was amazing. Was disappointed they didn't have cocktail sauce, maybe thats a Midwest thing. Would definitely recommend coming and getting the crab legs. Left stuffed!

Restaurant
Palmeira Tropical Fusion is a Latin American and seafood restaurant located at 323 Barrow St. Anchorage, Alaska. The place offers a modern twist on Latin fusion cuisine with vegan-friendly options and a wide variety of dishes. The food is described as packed with flavor and made with love, featuring comforting clam chowder in a bread bowl, savory pork crunchy wrap, chicken and verde chilaquiles with added avocado and over easy eggs, as well as delightful French toast.
I visited for brunch and was really impressed by the beautiful interior setup of the restaurant. It has a modern yet cozy vibe. I ordered the Tuna Ceviche, and the tuna was fresh, tender, and slightly firm. It was marinated in fresh citrus juice, which gave it a zesty flavor. The citrus perfectly balanced the natural sweetness of the tuna without overwhelming it. The service was attentive and very friendly. Street parking can be a bit tricky during peak hours, but since it's Anchorage, that's to be expected. I’d definitely love to come back!

The Food, Service and Atmosphere was amazing! I felt like I was on a vacation resort dining place. The Pork Enchiladas were fantastic, even better than my mom's cooking. You must try Birria Tacos!! Plus the Palmira Smoothie was fabulously refreshing. We ordered more food to-go because it was all spectacularly delicious. Our waiter kept checking on us, demonstrating great service to our table. The music was a vibe and dessert sealed the deal. I need to come back to this and I am recommending this restaurant to everyone I know.

The food was very good and we were likely the only tourists in there. So we got the table by the window which got hot fast. Also no prompt service. Pretty crowded at 3 pm on a Sunday. I had the clam chowder and salad with shrimp. SO had the crunchy wrap, and friend had the seafood tostada. All the food was good.

This experience is by far one of the most incredible I’ve had in Anchorage! 🌺✨ Who would’ve thought you could find such a vibrant tropical vibe right here in Alaska? But guess what — YOU CAN, and it’s absolutely magical. From the moment you step in, you’re transported straight to a sunny paradise. 🌴☀️ Now let’s talk about the choriqueso torta — OH. MY. WOW. Every bite is a mini-vacation for your taste buds. If you’re craving flavor, fun, and a splash of sunshine in the Last Frontier — this spot delivers. 1000% recommend for foodies, adventurers, and anyone who just wants to feel a little closer to the equator. 🥭🌊

Amazing! Food, service, everything. The Aguachile - it’s super spicy, delicious! Cinnamon roll for dessert, also, delicious! Hidden gem this place, so impressed.

I came to Anchorages for the third time and I was always disappointed with local restaurants until I tried Palmeira yesterday, food was extremely delicious, fresh, flavorful and authentic, my michelada was on point, service was great they were all very attentive and kind, food and drinks came out super fast, prices are the best part, everything was fantastic, definitely going back whenever I come back to Alaska. Thank you for everything.

This was a nice place to stop by for a bite to eat! Our server was very friendly, and even showed us some pictures of him going thru the glacier, while advising us on fun things to try in Anchorage. The food was delicious, and the drinks were on point! It’s a cozy, quaint place to enjoy brunch with friends or family. I enjoyed the food, and the overall vibe of the restaurant, and will definitely be back when I’m in Anchorage next summer.

Cajun Corner is a delightful find nestled in downtown Anchorage, perfect for seafood lovers seeking a unique dining experience. This family-owned eatery serves up king crab legs in an exciting bucket style, allowing you to mix and match with other delectable options like tiger shrimp, crawfish, andouille sausage, corn, and potatoes. The menu also features comforting dishes such as rich red beans and rice that are sure to warm your soul.
Absolute best service, and hands down the best cajun food you can find in anchorage. Everything was delicious and left you full. The portions are extremely generous for the price and over it is well worth it.

If I could give more stars, I would!! 🌟 The owners were very friendly! As well as those working. This has been the best meal of our trip so far! We had zero spice on our boil, so it was just Cajun seasoning. And the best homemade chocolate cake 😍 the cake was fluffy and the icing was smooth and rich. I would highly recommend eating here!!
Sarah M — Google review
I stumbled in here upon a friend's recommendation. It absolutely lived up to the reputation. I only had two available meal slots for my time in Anchorage and I spent both at Cajun Corner. :) Shannon and Jared were both SO friendly and did such an amazing job caring for me despite a steady stream of customers. I also loved both the patio seating and the indoor space. I was struck by how clean the restaurant is - particularly impressive given what they serve!! What the menu doesn't tell you is that they sell fresh cakes here! They live on the countertop under gorgeous glass bells and are available until they sell out. Given that I was here at 3 pm and 8 pm, I can definitely assure you they sell _out_! It gets busy in the evenings but service stays impeccably kind. I chose two separate seafood boils: corn/andouille for my afternoon snack, and king crab + potatoes and corn for my dinner. Both were tasty, extremely generous portions, and well worth the price. I also had an IPA on tap, which came in a perfectly frozen mug. Keep in mind that seafood boils take time to cook, so be prepared for a bit of a wait (it's a feature, not a bug!). Highly recommend this spot!

Great place to eat. My daughter has been craving a boil for a while and this hit the spot perfectly!!! I highly recommend it. Amazing Cajun food. Her advice: don't wear white
Lynn R — Google review
Fantastic place! It's a must stop in Anchorage. The first thing you notice is the aroma that wafts from the front door. Seafood, spices, friendly staff and just simple comfort is how to sum it up in a nutshell. IPA is offered, wines and sangria. Homemade desserts so don't forget to save room. Bonus was not hard on the wallet either 👍🏽 9/10 would highly recommend. Missing one because I'm not a huge fan of seafood but the rest of my party was.
Alysia V — Google review
Absolutely delicious Cajun food! This was actually better than the bucket I had in New Orleans and the staff was super friendly. I’ll definitely be back again next time. The red velvet cake was also to die for! 10/10!!!

Fantastic Creole food in downtown Anchorage. The lobster dip was ok but the bread that comes with it is next level. I loved my fried shrimp and my wife loved her fish.

Birch & Alder in Anchorage is a small coffee shop that offers some of the best bagels in the area, available through a convenient drive-thru window en route to Girdwood.

🌲☕ Hidden Gem in Indian, Alaska – Made Unforgettable by Cameron ☕🌲 I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a coffee shop in Indian, Alaska, and I’m still in awe of the experience. The shop itself is a cozy little treasure — warm vibes, great coffee, and that peaceful charm only Alaska can deliver. But the true magic? Cameron. She may not be the owner, but she carries the spirit of the place like it’s her own. From the moment I walked in, she welcomed me with a kindness and attention to detail that turned an ordinary coffee stop into an unforgettable moment. Her sweet nature, thoughtful service, and genuine hospitality made me feel more like a friend than a customer. Cameron is a proud Alaska native, and it shows. Her love for her homeland is woven into every conversation, every smile, every small gesture. It’s rare to meet someone so authentically connected to where they’re from — and even rarer to have them serve your coffee with such heart. If you ever find yourself driving through Indian, don’t miss this spot. And if you’re lucky enough to be greeted by Cameron, trust me — your day’s about to get 1000 times better. ❤️🌄

What a find, conveniently located 20 minutes from Anchorage, this "hole in the wall" hits ALL the spots!! The food was outstanding -- I enjoyed the lox bagel while the wife had the focaccia. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and as advertised. Other than being right on the highway, the setting is gorgeous with views of the inlet and snow-capped mountains as we sat on the deck enjoying our breakfast. Needless to say, if we pass back this way before lunch we're stopping again and I'm pumped to try the smoked cod bagel!
John R — Google review
Very cozy atmosphere. I love the choices of syrups for coffee and tea. Their Birch syrup was so good. Also a great variety of breakfast and pastries. Our favorites were the Irish cheddar, leek and prosciutto scone and their blueberry muffin. The Bagel Experience was incredibly tasty as well.

Fabulous! A great stop. Wonderful bagels. We had the Bagel Experience. Best sandwich. We also had the Smoked Black Cod sandwich, everything bagel with cream cheese and chocolate chip banana bread. Everything was great. The coffee beverages and Macha were wonderful also. Great spot!

Lovely cafe right along the highway with outdoor seating to enjoy the surroundings. Their coffee taste incredible, they make all their syrups. We tried the birch latte and seasonal orange blossom cardamom latte. We also got a blackberry brie scone and a blueberry muffin. Perfect way to wrap up our trip to Alaska.
Seira D — Google review
This is my favorite breakfast and coffee spot when heading south out of Anchorage on the weekends! Their coffee is great, and they offer unique, natural syrups/flavors. The Bagel Experience is my go-to meal item. They also have delicious scones, with some really unique seasonal options. The views cannot be beat, but sometimes the indoor space is crowded. I love that they have indoor/outdoor seating and a drive thru.

Seafood market
Fishing charter
If you're in Anchorage during the summer, keep an eye out for The Salmon Hookup Truck, a vibrant blue food truck that pops up at various festivals, breweries, and food fairs. This unique culinary experience is run by commercial fishermen who bring you the freshest Cook Inlet salmon in delicious forms like sandwiches, tacos, quesadillas, and kebabs—truly a taste of the ocean on wheels! Customers rave about the laid-back vibe and direct buying experience offered here.
Absolutely extraordinary. Laid back, convenient, direct buying experience, with processing and pickup at 10th and M or other major fishmongers. Low prices, lower than any other retail source. Knowledgeable service. And most importantly, top quality product, especially the chinooks. I am extremely pleased, and I will be back. My only complaint is that I wish they carried halibut and sable and scallops and crabs, etc. Normal seafood retail feels like an insult after buying here.
Ari A — Google review
Let me start by saying the food is delicious and i love that they serve fresh fish! I was hoping for better quality fries but not bad. I ordered from the spenard carnival and got the salmon cakes and paid for an extra side of the spicy Mayo. After about 20 minutes, I was noticing people who ordered after me get their food. They yelled out a name close to mine, and I let them know I was still waiting. At 30 minutes I asked for an update and they said they mixed up the orders. I was a bit frustrated as I'm now running late past my lunch break, but mistakes happen so I recounted my order and she put it on the list. It took over 45 minutes to receive my order, it didn't seem expedited for the amount of time i was waiting as they were passing out orders that matched mine, and I still didn't receive the spicy sauce. They didn't apologize at first but they did give me a coupon for my next visit. The food is great but overall an okay experience for me.
Vannah — Google review
I saw their menu, asked if the fish was local, she said her brother catches all the fish himself, and I said "One order of fish tacos please". I was vegetarian but no longer now. I missed local, fresh meats and they have good, local, fresh meats!
