“Came here for the first time. It was amazing. Got 2lbs of crawfish. 1lb of snow crab and then added sausage, corn, potatoes. Came out to only $80 with drinks as well. The entire bowl was filled when it came out. We ate till we were super full and still took half a bag home. Cajun sauce with 1x spicy level. 10/10 recommend. Waited little bit for order to be taken on a slow day but the food came out literally minutes after getting order taken so it didn’t make a difference. They serve the food very quickly. Everyone was super nice there and helpful.”

Greek • $$
“This restaurant is amazing the food is SO GOOD and everything on the menu is so good my husband and I love it and the owner is a great guy”
Hot Pot • $$
“The phone Ordering system took a little bit to get used to and there's a wait/cooldown time between each batch of food order for the Hot Pot.
We enjoyed it very much overall though! Everything was very tasty. The meat portions are thinly sliced (cook fast!) and the veggie portions are decently sized. We had plenty of time to eat till we were stuffed and there weren't many other people so it was nice & peaceful.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
New American • $$
“Professional and courteous staff with amazing food. The bar has knowledgeable bartenders with an excellent cocktail menu and an awesome selection of wine, liquor and draft beer. The pork chop is delicious and the bangers are bangin’ 💯 Definitely worth the money spent and worth the wait if they are busy👊🏼”
Cafe • $$
“Nina, the owner was kind enough to set up a special tea party for me and my out of town guest. Her shop has a large selection of loose leaf teas and it was busy in there but she was patient and helped us find something we liked, even offering us a sample of their house tea. The tea sandwiches were flavorful and delicate. The doughnuts were so good!!! There’s so much to see in this little shop and plenty of delicious treats. I will be back!”

“Their food is sooo good I can’t wait to go again at least once or twice a week ?”
Restaurants with Delivery
Ethiopian • $$
“Visited for first time today. Very impressed with the bold but balanced flavor in Doro Alicha with the delicious rice. Decor is appealing and service was good. Vegetarian and gluten free options.”
Ice Cream Shop • $
“So many unusual flavors. I recommend sampling a couple before making your final choice. You just might find a new favorite. Also, the baked Alaska cone is fantastic- your choice of ice cream in a waffle cone with a toasted marshmallow fluff swirl on top. There are a few vegan and gluten free options available.”
Family • $
“We found this restaurant by accident. Our mom and aunt wanted pasta, but they wanted to be somewhere quiet. My brother googled and found this place. At first we thought we were at the wrong address since we didn’t see a sign. But we peaked in and we were met by the owner who asked us to take a seat. Service was fast, the food was amazing! And talk about a great salad bar with everything you would want on a salad with house made dressings. Everyone in the family ordered something different, from a mushroom burger to spaghetti and Greek pizza. The servings were so generous two people could eat or you will have leftovers. Oh, and we were even introduced to the owners daughter. It was a nice evening and has quickly become one of our favorite places to eat.”

Ice Cream Shop • $$
“Delicious delicious ice cream flavors. The salted caramel was amazing. Wasn’t too salty and wasn’t too sweet. Just the perfect combination. It is a tiny bit pricey but well worth it.
It is a small little window you order from. You may run into some homeless people and there might be a small wait after ordering but well worth it. I didn’t wait more than 5 mins for my order.”
Food Trucks • $
“The brick and mortar is close to my place of work, so I decided to give y’all a try. Really glad I did. I went with the breakfast tacos with tofu as the protein. I don’t exactly know how you prepare the tofu but it’s definitely some of the best in town! My only constructive criticism would be that that was a lot of food on such a tiny plate. I will be back.”

The waitress made a RUDE remark about a server who dropped a plate of food. We were basically ignored. It wasn't even busy, mid-afternoon. SORRY, I still have gift cards to spend because I don't really want to go back. disappointed 😞”

It was a delicious 3-course lunch with a salad, entree, and a dessert buffet. You get to give feedback to the students afterwards so they can improve.
Awesome food and atmosphere to enjoy with friends at the end of the Spring semester. You must sign up and reserve online.”

“It’s good. Brought my taste buds joy after a very stinky Monday. I got a roll & appetizer delivered through their app, but it appears to kind of be an extension of DoorDash. It took about an hour (I did order during dinner rush on a Monday night) I got a the mushroom app and it’s really good. Everything is well cooked & the sushi (American roll) is well cut. Very happy and look forward to visiting the actual restaurant. 🫶🏻”

“Birch & Alder where have you been my whole life?! Tucked away roadside coffee shop, the burrata sandwich on focaccia is nothing short of a culinary success. The creamy burrata, crispy prosciutto (wow) perfect! Layers of fresh brightness, but the zhoug sauce (double wow)! When I say it’s a 10 out of 10, I really mean it’s an 11 an absolute must try for anyone chasing the ultimate sandwich experience. Nothing but smiles:)”

I was very pleased with my meal and will CERTAINLY be eating here again. The atmosphere was very calming and romantic. This is a father and son ran restaurant. If you want a wholesome experience with an equally satisfying and delicious meal, eat here without hesitation.”

“I really like Arigato Japanese restaurant. My mother and I go almost once a week for lunch. She loves their sashimi lunch which is nicely presented and really good value. I've tried most of their menu and all of it is enjoyable. The restaurant is family run, and I like that it feels like you are having a meal that would be served at a Japanese home.
It's five star value, with a 4 star experience. It's not the best sushi you'll ever eat, but for Anchorage I haven't found another sushi place that I can spend under $20 before tipping and leave actually full.
A typical lunch order includes tea, soup, salad, your entree, a bowl of rice, and a cream puff for dessert.”

“Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 The sushi rolls were huge, raw fish wasn’t smelly, entrees were big including the kids plate (bento style). I found the prices very fair especially comparing them to Basil Ginger in the valley. We didn’t order a single roll over $20 and our favorite cooked one (spider) was only $15. The restaurant was pretty packed yet our food came out surprisingly fast for how many people were dining in. The waitress was on FIRE. Running around making sure everyone was good. She also gave us dessert at the end for free. Maybe it’s a thing but we were highly flattered and appreciative! It was great to eat at a clean establishment that also checked allll the other boxes too. My kids and I got up to leave and both noted “this place deserves a shining review!”. Highly recommend 🙂”

“We had dinner at Serrano’s Mexican Grill in downtown Anchorage with a large group of 23 people, including both teens and adults, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish.
The food was fantastic. The rice bowls were delicious, the freshly made guacamole and chips were excellent, and the margaritas were some of the best we’ve had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared.
What impressed us most was how efficiently the staff handled such a large group. Despite having 23 people, our food and drinks arrived surprisingly quickly, and every order was accurate.
The manager was absolutely amazing. She checked on us frequently, made sure everyone was happy with their meals, and genuinely cared about our experience. Her attention to detail and customer service made us feel very welcome.
It’s not easy to serve a large group this well, but Serrano’s exceeded our expectations. Great food, excellent drinks, fast service, and outstanding hospitality. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Anchorage and will definitely return when we’re back in town!”

“We wanted a quiet place for a reunion dinner so we tried Pho Lotus for the first time tonight. It was nice and quiet. The service was outstanding. We were greeted immediately and got water within 30 seconds of being seated. Our server showed up to take our orders less than two minutes later. The food came out surprisingly quickly. Everybody was very happy with their food and the portions were big enough to provide another meal the next day. We will definitely be back.”

Champagne was flowing and paired perfectly with everything. Loved the vibe too chill, and stylish. Staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations (especially for someone who just likes to eat oysters but has no idea what to pair with them 😄). And the menu had other tasty treats too not just oysters! Everything we tried was spot-on. Definitely coming back soon. If you’re into oysters, bubbles, or just a good time with great food and drinks, check this place out! 🦪🥂”

“Best sushi in downtown anchorage and my favorite sushi restaurant in town hands down! The service is super warm and welcoming. We did not wait long for our food to come out and the owner checks in on how we are enjoying the food. The fish and uni seems to always be fresh and delicious. My favorite is the hamachi roll. The owner said they tweaked their ramen recipe and now it is my favorite ramen in town and you can get it late at night on the weekends, which I love. 10/10 experience!!!”

Korean • $$
“I haven't had Korean food too many times mostly Japanese or Hawaiian food where Korean fishes are incorporated. Definitely only had sides like this once or twice before in Hawaii and Colorado.. anyways this stuff slapped. Genuinely had some good food here.
The potatoes and this fish cake were fire. The kalbi was s little more tender then I have had at other places around town but paired with the rice was genuinely good. Also this was just the perfect amount of food. I want to go back asap and try a bunch of other food here which is extremely rare. Makes me want to go back and down rate alot of other restaunts since I can't rate the deliciousness of the food any higher then a 5. Also tried Korean beer and it was really good. Way better then our beer.”

“Delicious food. This place is on par with Boston's Italian restaurants. The atmosphere and service was the absolute best. My husband and I came here to celebrate our 46th anniversary. Daniel, our waiter, made this celebration even more special. Would come back weekly if we didn't live in Maine. 🥰”

“I love Beartooth theater pub. We spend at least once per month here with the kids on Saturday. A meal while watching our favorites is incredible! However- I'm curious why, when showing a PG movie, Beartooth shows trailers for R-rated films? I Would love to see this changed, and my kids would love to see this changed.”

“I’m a traveller from Australia and we don’t have any places like these any more due to legislation re smoking etc.
I specifically came here to have a smoke in comfort, indoors and meet some of the locals who were friendly and engaging.
Loved this place. Life’s good”

“We had the pleasure of having Angelle as our server today for lunch! He is extremely friendly, inviting, kind, and he strives to do his best!! I had questions about substitutions for a meal, and he made it happen! He was very on top of all of our needs and questions. He would always double check with us on things to make sure we were 1000% taken care of! He also always kept us up to date on the status of our breadsticks, appetizer, and entrees! I’ve truly never had a better experience at Olive Garden before. He felt very familiar and it didn’t feel like your average dining experience honestly in the best way possible. He felt like a friend! It felt like we were hanging out with someone we considered a friend! I hope every time we come to Tikahtnu, we get Angelle as our server. He was seriously the best in every aspect. He made us feel extremely comfortable and conversation was always flowing! Give this man a raise asap! If you decide to come to Tikahtnu Olive Garden, I hope you have the pleasure of having Angelle as your server. He will make you feel welcomed, comfortable, cared for, and at home. I couldn’t recommend someone more.”

“1st time visitor. Went with family. One of the machines wasn’t working after using card, asked mgr & he gave us our choice of games in that area so we didn’t lose any money. Very nice guy. We had a booth but only ordered lemonade or water and the server (forgot her name, sorry) with long blonde hair was great! Made sure we were always doing ok! Too loud for me but grandkids love it!”
Brewery
“Brewerks is the kind of place you hope no one else discovers—but you can’t help telling everyone about it anyway. It’s tucked into an industrial corner of Anchorage with no frills, no fluff—just incredible beer and the kind of atmosphere that feels real. Inside, it’s welcoming in that quiet, unpolished way: barrel tables, a loft above, and Chad (the owner and brewer) probably behind the bar, pouring the beer he made himself. That kind of presence matters. You feel it in the space and in every pour. The beer is creative, clean, and thoughtful. No shortcuts. The hazy IPAs hit just right, the stouts are layered and rich without being overdone, and the rotating sours and goses are genuinely interesting—not trendy for the sake of it. You can tell he’s brewing for flavor, not followers. It’s a place where the beer speaks first, and then the people do—and both are worth listening to. If you like places where you can actually hear yourself think, where the beer is the centerpiece without needing to be flashy, and where the owner still cares enough to look you in the eye—go to Brewerks. It’s one of the best things happening in Anchorage.”

“What a delightful place my wife and I went today. We felt like we stepped through the door and into Germany again. We haven't had so delicious of coffee since leaving Germany. The fresh blueberry Belgian waffles are fantastic, as well as the pastries these German women make themselves. It was such a delightful place We discovered today, and we will make it our regular go-to place every Sunday.”

“We found this restaurant by accident. Our mom and aunt wanted pasta, but they wanted to be somewhere quiet. My brother googled and found this place. At first we thought we were at the wrong address since we didn’t see a sign. But we peaked in and we were met by the owner who asked us to take a seat. Service was fast, the food was amazing! And talk about a great salad bar with everything you would want on a salad with house made dressings. Everyone in the family ordered something different, from a mushroom burger to spaghetti and Greek pizza. The servings were so generous two people could eat or you will have leftovers. Oh, and we were even introduced to the owners daughter. It was a nice evening and has quickly become one of our favorite places to eat.”

Also, the baked Alaska cone is fantastic- your choice of ice cream in a waffle cone with a toasted marshmallow fluff swirl on top. There are a few vegan and gluten free options available.”

So good, that we went back again the next night, and it would had been a 3d, but we got back to town too late on Sunday.

Ice Cream Shop
“We recently attended paint night at this adorable ice cream shop, and it was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and beautifully decorated they really went all out to make it feel special. The balloon display and themed setup made it perfect for photos and added such a fun, festive touch. The paint night itself was fantastic. The instructions were easy to follow, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. It was so much fun creating our own artwork while enjoying delicious ice cream. The staff was friendly, patient, and encouraging, making everyone feel comfortable and creative. And of course, the food was incredible flavorful, and the perfect treat while painting! 🍦 If you’re looking for a fun family activity, girls’ night out, or a creative date idea, I highly recommend their paint night. We’ll definitely be back! 💕”

“I am pleasantly surprised about Goldie's. I have tried so many different coffee shops. They tend to make coffee too sweet or taste too bitter. No in between taste. And I always have miscommunication with them because I'm deaf. When I came to Goldie's, I was surprised to see that the two sweet ladies at Goldie's knew how to sign. Finally! I was able to have clear communication! And their coffee tastes really good! Not too sweet, not too bitter. Just right. I will be going to Goldie's for my regular coffee fix! 6 stars out of 5!”

Mexican • $$
“We had dinner at Serrano’s Mexican Grill in downtown Anchorage with a large group of 23 people, including both teens and adults, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish.
The food was fantastic. The rice bowls were delicious, the freshly made guacamole and chips were excellent, and the margaritas were some of the best we’ve had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared.
What impressed us most was how efficiently the staff handled such a large group. Despite having 23 people, our food and drinks arrived surprisingly quickly, and every order was accurate.
The manager was absolutely amazing. She checked on us frequently, made sure everyone was happy with their meals, and genuinely cared about our experience. Her attention to detail and customer service made us feel very welcome.
It’s not easy to serve a large group this well, but Serrano’s exceeded our expectations. Great food, excellent drinks, fast service, and outstanding hospitality. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Anchorage and will definitely return when we’re back in town!”
Brewery
“Stopped into the new brewery on a Saturday. Nice aposphere in the seating area, with super nice staff and an open view of the brewery area. A little disappointing they only had 4 beers on tap (1 Golden, 1 Smash IPA, 1 fruited tart, and 1 Baltic porter) but they just opened up so will let that slide. The Smash was simple but highlighted the Citra hops nicely with good head retention. The fruited sour was refreshing with pretty good Blueberry and lemon flavor, good balance of tartness with fruit flavor and sweetness. The golden ale was not my favorite but was simple with a malty backbone but I didn't like the mouth feel or overall flavor. I would like to try more beers to determine my full impression of them, but everyone has to start somewere and excited to see this new brewery grow and find their niche in the beer world! 3.5/5 stars”
Wine Bar • $$$
“Such a great spot! This oyster and champagne bar is seriously awesome. The oysters were super fresh and delicious, you can really taste the quality. Champagne was flowing and paired perfectly with everything. Loved the vibe too chill, and stylish. Staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations (especially for someone who just likes to eat oysters but has no idea what to pair with them 😄). And the menu had other tasty treats too not just oysters! Everything we tried was spot-on. Definitely coming back soon. If you’re into oysters, bubbles, or just a good time with great food and drinks, check this place out! 🦪🥂”
