“49th State always has a great atmosphere, service and food/drinks. I joined a large group event where our server Selcuk did a great job of balancing such a large group. Food and drinks were timely and delicious! I had the vodka raspberry soda made with 49th state raspberry soda. So delicious! The eggroll appetizer was delish! Highly recommend stopping by 49th State for excellent drinks and food!”
“Stellar ramen and cocktails! Their desserts are pretty good too, but if it's summer time and you love ice cream I recommend taking the short walk to wild scoops for dessert.”
“Visited Alaska for the first time this month and glad we stopped by Kinley's for dinner. Well, we made a reservation and I see why after eating there. Fantastic fish- we had halibut and rockfish, great sides, prompt and friendly service, and a chef even stopped by our table to check in and I got a little lesson in halibut selection/prep which was awesome! This place makes you want to include another visit to Anchorage in your future for the sole (argh) purpose of dining here. Not to mention the price to value ratio is totally fair and actually amazing after hearing horror stories about Alaska pricing- beats the lower 48 all day long for this, as well as taste and quality.”
“Our fall visit was spectacular. It's been said that the people in Alaska are warmer than the weather is cold, our server, Bailey, proved that to be true. Great food. Fantastic service.”
“There was an unfortunate mixup with our pickup order and the management lept to fix it -- big time. Aside from the great food the establishment has great and courteous professionalism. Thank you Everest.”

“The food here is absolutely incredible and absolute quality. It’s a small restaurant so you may have a wait but worth every moment of wait. I would wait 2 hours to eat here. Service is friendly. Atmosphere is super chic. Nothing we have ordered has been less that exceptional. The food is well portioned and inventive. Just an overall fun and good experience!”
“I have the good fortune of living near a dozen Ethiopian food restaurants for when I get the craving for injera and wat (which is at least a monthly occurrence). I can confidently say that Queen of Sheeba served me the finest Ethiopian meal I've ever tasted. The food is perfectly seasoned and very savory. Our server was attentive and courteous. I recommend everyone in the Anchorage bowl take the time to visit. You won't regret it. The atmosphere is suitable for a fancy date or just to grab lunch. There are veggie options as well as meat. Everything is delicious.”
“Finally got around to trying this restaurant and I was overall pretty satisfied..I got the Veal meatballs in cabbage Appetizer (Frikadeller med rødkål) to start and was slightly let down..The Meatballs were drowned in (Extremely) sweet purple cabbage and it tasted like there was way to much sugar in the sauce and way to much cabbage/sauce to meatballs in my opinion..The meatballs were good but probably will stay away from this Appetizer in the future.My entree was the Beef Bolognese pasta and it was delicious! Great portion as well..The gentleman putting my food together put some delicious bread in my bag for me and I thought that was a nice gesture..The men that work at Jen's don't come off as the type of people that are up for small talk and seem pretty serious but that's ok...I noticed there house wine is a White French Appellation wine that is one of my go-to's which is a good sign and I'll most likely be back to try more dishes...?”

“I really appreciate them to keep their food authentic even though it's easy to compromise its authenticity just to please some of the locals who are just too ignorant to know that an authentic bowl of ramen noodles should come with soft-boiled egg not hard-boiled egg. The owner got yelled at by some ignorant locals who don't have a clue that this should come with soft boiled egg Not hard boiled egg. Whoever did that to them should be ashamed of themselves! Those troglodytes should learn to do their own research so as to know what an authentic bowl of ramen noodles should be.”
“Best hot dogs and amazing service! I have followed them around town for years now (since the Northern Lights days) and they have always been amazing! The reindeer dog and the cilantro garlic fries are our go to every time. Corn dogs are great too! So happy to see them grow and succeed!”
“My favorite ice cream stop in Anchorage, particularly for the burnt marshmallow topping and delicious waffle cone. Quick, friendly service. Allergy friendly. Their chocolate ice cream is a consistently delightful treat.Dietary restrictions: I have safely eaten there with”

“We were in town from Georgia for our family members wedding. Wife and I look for small local restaurants to support. Glad we found this. Loved the food! Came back a second morning. Top notch service as well. We will be back on our next trip to Alaska.”

“It’s a bit hard to find cause the address on Google lead us next door but after we ended up in the right spot we were glad we went the extra mile. Ive had so many vegan Philly cheesesteaks but THIS ONE RIGHT HERE?!?! This is the winner hands down. Talk about flavor, Talk about delectable, Talk about filling. I could talk about it forever but it’s up to you to get your hands on one yourself. I wish I would have ordered another for the plane ride home ?”
“We come to Anchorage as often as possible. Every time we’re here we make sure we find a way to get Spinz. I never met anyone in there and have no skin in the game, but I’m reviewing just on food. A+ all around. Great chicken and great sides all around.”
“Our fall visit was spectacular. It's been said that the people in Alaska are warmer than the weather is cold, our server, Bailey, proved that to be true. Great food. Fantastic service.”
“We had a delicious brunch!! Amazing choices for savory and sweet waffles. I went with Sarah's BAYB and it was absolutely scrumptious!! My family members all had something different and everything was 10/10! Can't wait to go back!! Don't miss this place, Anchorage!”
“There was an unfortunate mixup with our pickup order and the management lept to fix it -- big time. Aside from the great food the establishment has great and courteous professionalism. Thank you Everest.”
“This pizza isn't just cheese on dough and toppings. It was an escape of blended layers of flavor and texture. The marinara side adds even more depth, and I saved it mainly for the crust. Made with love and shared with the world. Bravo!”

“Reminds me of little restaurants back when I was a kid.. and that Halibut sandwich was absolutely perfect. The staff was super friendly. I will eat here every single trip.”
“Dinner Review aka a search for Sunday night fancy food . I understand why so many places take Sunday and Monday off, but for folks with off set schedules - finding a nicer place to eat out can be a challenge when it's not Friday or Saturday.Often recommend here for a celebration meal. ginger came through as expected. Amazingly consistent after 17 years.We had a 6pm reservation but it was not needed. They could have taken a walk-in party easily through 8pm. Service was fast. Bar was busier than restaurant.What we had:SHAREDPomme Frites - sharable portion, came hot and crispy and stayed that way to the bottom of the cone. These are worth the trip alone. Have frites and drinks for a complete experience. (Not pictured, standard fry shape, served in a cone)Eggrolls- also very hot (I can't stand food that has obviously sat under a warmer) beware of grease that may burn, good dipping sauce, packed with meat (half a roll hiding in back of my salad)HIMFried Chicken- best dish of the night, chickpea flour is a unique coating, big chicken chunks, spicey sauce (make your lips a little poofy spicey, not eyes watering spicey). Husband would have preferred it be dark meat, but still loved it.MEBanana lemon grass soup with crab and eggplant. Yup it sounds weird. Yup it's always tasty. I got the bowl but took half home (appetizers were filling). VERY light on crab and you need to enjoy eating long strands of grass. I'm fine with both as the overall dish is well constructed.Strawberry salad- I enjoy butter lettuce but it's a softer leaf that got drowned by the dressing when mixed up. I'd get all dressing on the side next time. Nuts and strawberries were excellent. Not sure where they found ripe berries in March but yum!Dessert- matcha creme brulee. Shell has more than the classic crunch so be prepared for shards of sugar. Custard was very thick and great green tea flavor, sweet not grassy. More tasty strawberries. It's a lot for one person but I'm a trooper. Husband opted for a Spanish coffee instead which is so fantastically complex and a great dessert drink.Beverages-Cosmo- light pour great for a DD, not great as a cocktail (pictured)Vieux carre- complex new Orleans style cocktail. Get it if you like strong stuff (pictured)Pineapple shrub mocktail (not pictured). Stupid good flavor. House made shrub.Classic martini (not pictured)- served in a vintage round glass not an 80s v shape which is fun. Gin is gin. ??♀️”
“We eat at the Bistro frequently and have tried most of the menu items. Last night I had a the 8-Oz filet, done to perfection, with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh veggies. My wife had the pork schnitzel, which was also amazing. Top that off with a great Caesar salad and a glass or two of Alexander Valley a cab (for me), and a sauv blanc for my wife. Jens always comes through with great offerings. Also, the wait staff have been there a long time, which says something about the loyalty and integrity of the restaurant. It's definitely our go to place in Anchorage for quality dining.”
“What's not to love? Chef Nate and his crew are 10 for 10 turning out high-end, interesting gourmet food. Their takeout menu is the best!! Run, don't walk to Altura.”

“** update to below review. The food was amazing! Perfectly package, well marked, but most importanly- Delicious and Beautiful! I went with the Hablibut and Alaskan cod. The portions were large, equal size and prepared perfectly. EXCEEDED expectations! Other inflight caterers could learn a thing or two from Chef Drew!(initial review)I don’t have my order yet as my flight is in 2 days. But talk about accommodating and responsive! They come highly recommended- now I see why! Can’t wait to try/ see the food!”

“Incredible date night at the Crow’s Nest! Warm, friendly service by Chelsea. Beautiful views! Amazing food. All around, a perfect night. Thanks to Chelsea for the wine recommendation and unforgettable dining experience- and thanks to the Chef for the absolute best filet and ribeye that we have ever had. Looking forward to another date night at the Crow’s Nest in the future!”
“A great restaurant when in Anchorage! I know everyone raves about Moose's Tooth but, I would go to Hearth over the crowded and busy atmosphere of Moose's Tooth. Selection was great, service was super friendly and no wait time!”
“They have a half and half for folks like me who want bothOne crab egg Benedict and one salmon. Couldn't eat all of it, so left the bread and ate the topping.He had the stuffed French toast which also was so delicious”
“Excellent Food. Great service and uniquely Different. We enjoyed every bit I had Filet Mignon. And My husband enjoyed the Venison Appetizer was smoked salmon with Belini and caviar. Dessert menu was also excellent. I would say this is a 5 Star. Restaurant. For sure.”
“Food was very good. Items were not as described though. I was told my ribeye special would be with asparagus..it was with Brussels Sprouts. And the steak itself was thinly sliced for a 50.00 entree.”
“We had great time. The waitress who name was Hanna I think was wonderful. The food was delicious and service was great. The portions were very big. Overall we had a wonderful time.”
“I could not have been happier. Our server, Anthony, was excellent. Jaylen (I think that was his name) prepared the salad to perfection. My only complaint was that the instructor called out one of the guys for forgetting to bring pepper, embarrassing him right in front of us. Do your chastising in private, please. Other than that, it was beyond belief.”
“Easy to miss hole-in-the-wall location, but the food was excellent, with a very authentic Mexican taste. Fair prices and decent service despite being a little understaffed. I'll definitely keep this place in mind next time I'm in the mood for Mexican food!”
“I want to make a special mention to Carson my server. He was wonderful. It's never easy dining places with a child on the spectrum. He went out of his way to be so helpful. My son who is the pickiest of eaters loved everything that was put in front of him. Carson was so friendly. He made suggestions I loved. The food was spot on. Everything that came out was perfect. The service made the meal.”
“I forgot to order food for our company meeting scheduled the following day, and Mo's stepped up to the plate. Excellent communication and better food. Highest quality ingredients and it was delivered 12 minutes early. Jason helped arrange the many trays and addressed the specialty items I requested so I could set them aside for the staff with dietary restrictions. Mo's made me the office hero because EVERYONE was happy. Will definitely be supporting this local business whenever I can. Stop looking for a place to eat. You found it!”
“It was so good. Ive been eyeing it on my way home from school and finally, its the best atmosphere and enough spice. There were also meals i havent seen before so i cant wait until the next time i come �”
“This gem in downtown Anchorage is awesome. The food was hot and came out very quickly. The server was nice, friendly, and her attitude was excellent. The dark interior was a huge plus. Their menu is simple and very easy to understand.”

“This was my first time eating Korean food and Serena was so good at guiding me. I tried the Beef ribs and they were to die for!! So many different types of veggies came with the meal! I will definitely come back and try something different next time! Highly recommend this Korean restaurant. They are very attentive and friendly. If you have never before had Korean food, then this is an excellent place to start! !Vegetarian options: Comes with lots of vegetables.Parking: Park in front of restaurantKid-friendliness: Very casual and welcoming for kids.”

“To the guy that was working this morning 6/4 at 4:30am, I just wanted to say you’re the sweetest!! This is the best chai latte I’ve ever had, and you definitely also made my day. Thank you soo much!”
“Hello! Most of the time I would put this coffee shack as a highly recommended place. However, today at 1:25pm Sunday Aug. 1, 2021, it was not. The girls working at the shack were very gloomy and disorganized and got our orders wrong. They both seemed like they were totally spaced out. It is such a shame because every other time we have come here, they have been terrific. I love the coffee and frappes here. Just today, it was bad. Please don’t give up on coming here. Hopefully, there will be some friendlier and more helpful baristas next time.”
“McDonalds on Times Square is chaos around New Year. The on-screen ordering was confusing due to marginal touch screen. The food was as ordered and reasonably prompt.”
“I haven't had McDonald's is almost a year a d never went to this location. They were efficient and nice and straightforward and I had no issues. It was almost 1000pm if I remember correctly. Nice job!”
“Been here a few times over the last 2 weeks and it’s probably the best McDonald’s in anchorage. The food is always hot. It’s awesome. Line moves quickly, too. Orders have been correct.”
“Service is subpar at best. Everyone there is pretty rude. The Drive thru is pretty fast normally, not super busy. Food is okay, the best it can be for McDonald'”
“I am a Butter Chicken snob and this is the best I have had in Anchorage. the waiter was excellent also. He made us feel like we were in an upscale/high end restaurant. Everything is made to order so you wait a bit for the food but it is all worth it. even the Naan is made to order and made to perfection.”
“I love this place! Everything I have tried has always been delicious and I make a point to try something new every time I go. Staff are friendly and service has been good for both dine-in and pick up orders I’ve done. I can’t decide on a favorite dish to recommend (so many good ones!) but the house-made lemonade with mint is my go-to beverage in the summer especially!”
“Our waiter was awesome. The food was fantastic. We ordered a BLT. It's not on the menu, but you can order it. It's delicious. I got the Tomato Basil soup with mine and my husband got the Super Tots and a side salad with his. The soup was delicious also.Parking: Somewhat difficult to find parking at rush times, but we got there before the rush hour.”
Takeout Restaurants
“From the moment we entered customer service was amazing. Mariah our server always checked on us and made sure we were okay. The food was amazing. We couldn’t finish it and brought it home. It was more food then expected and it’s well worth the money. Will definitely go back”
“I love this shop. It’s got it’s own parking so no need to fight for spots downtown and the pastries and coffee are top level. I paint here on occasion and the light, even in winter is cheery.”
“Fantastic flavors beyond the usual, great attention paid to quality ingredients, and a delightful shop atmosphere made for a lovely visit to this awesome addition to Anchorage ice cream offerings. We had thai tea and and strawberry ice cream, and sampled the taro flavor, and loved them all. In addition to all this we were treated to some live music and fun conversation with the shop staff and owners. We’ll be back for sure!”
“Good place to order from early in the morning, I have which only have had two bad experiences one time wasn’t the work places fault but I got cut in line when grabbing a drink so I recommend ordering first lol and second time I ordered a breakfast croissant egg cheese sandwich with an add-on of avocado and bacon and I only got an egg and cheese on it and I had payed extra for the avocado and bacon was too tired and checked when I already left so I didn’t want to come back and it was too early and didn’t want to argue about it so I ate it, still good just mad I payed extra other than that I recommend checking food before you leave incase something is wrong :)”

“Yummy hip trendy cool bakery outpost, with amazing treats to eat. Worththe money! It was so delicious looking at everything being showcased! Loved the egg salad sandwich with chunky avocado! And the strawberry-mango filled cupcake the best. Mmm.”
“Whenever I pass through anchorage, I like to stop in and say hi to the family that owns and operates this place. I'm not a city guy but they always make me feel at home with very authentic family made Vietnamese food. The only thing I like when not eating caribou and moose! Thanks Gia Dinh!”

“Motley Moo Creamery is a fantastic local Alaska business and ai feel grateful to have such an awesome ice cream shop in South Anchorage! The staff are quick to serve you and allow you to sample as much as you'd like (assuming there isn't a line out the door). Their ice cream is dense but also delicious. The ambiance for the ice cream shop is light and cute with their white interior and their neon signs. This is not a place to miss!”
“I am a Butter Chicken snob and this is the best I have had in Anchorage. the waiter was excellent also. He made us feel like we were in an upscale/high end restaurant. Everything is made to order so you wait a bit for the food but it is all worth it. even the Naan is made to order and made to perfection.”
“A star off because the tea I ordered had a ton of tea leaves in the tea. Not exactly appetizing. But I loved the atmosphere and a great place. It’s difficult to judge based on a single drink.”
“I love this place! Everything I have tried has always been delicious and I make a point to try something new every time I go. Staff are friendly and service has been good for both dine-in and pick up orders I’ve done. I can’t decide on a favorite dish to recommend (so many good ones!) but the house-made lemonade with mint is my go-to beverage in the summer especially!”
“Thanks so much for feeding our hungry crew today. Delicious as always, amazing service and the price of your lunch special is such a good deal during tough economic times. Thanks for being such a great part of our community!”
“Been craving Dim Sum and was told this is the only spot in town. Menu is very limited and prices were steep for what we’re accustomed to. But as I just mentioned, only spot in town. We had multiple places we were eating at so we didn’t order too much. The bean curds were good but at almost $12, I’m not sure. The Har Gow were big and juicy. The spicy wontons were our favorite”
“Excellent Food. Great service and uniquely Different. We enjoyed every bit I had Filet Mignon. And My husband enjoyed the Venison Appetizer was smoked salmon with Belini and caviar. Dessert menu was also excellent. I would say this is a 5 Star. Restaurant. For sure.”
“We stopped in on a whim for the 1st time with my 4 year old daughter and parents and our server was a rock star! I didn’t get her name, but her customer service went above and beyond all the while we overheard her dealing with some questionable and unkind customers. She served them with aplomb and witty care; all with a smile. The food was also amazing! We’ll definitely be back for the food and over the top positive customer service that she provided. Thank you for a great experience!”
“I’m not a fan of sushi but ReHaru is where my granddaughter wanted to go for her birthday lunch. The atmosphere was delightful and the food was excellent! Our server was full of personality and provided excellent service which earned him a very generous tip (60%). I highly recommend this restaurant as one of the best in Anchorage!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Greeted with a genuine smile and gifted with the best Bagels in Anchorage. Each one lovingly hand made and PERFECT in texture and taste. Focaccia laden with Caramelized Onions made the real way. Balanced between tender, chewy inside and crisp outside, with a STELLAR Sunnyside up egg garnished with fresh chopped Parsley. All execution from Banana Bread to Bagel Experience, ( everything bagel with soft whipped cream cheese, Salmon Lachs, sprouts, paper thin purple onions and capers) are the FINEST Anchorage has to offer. The HIGHEST compliment I give...I COULD NOT HAVE DONE BETTER.”
“I am a local mobile notary I own Alaska Mobile Notary Services right next to you guys and you guys are like my favorite coffee place convenient and the online ordering is awesome!! Thank you for being in Spenard #KeepSpenardWeird #AlaskaMobileNotaryServicesKid-friendliness: Free whip cream”

“This place was clean, and a nice place to get fresh natural items while traveling through Alaska! I would recommend it if you're looking for these items while traveling.”
“What a great place to enjoy some yummy snack and beverages while your kids play. The play space was very organized and clean. The staff was very friendly. my kid had a blast playing and socializing. we will definitely be back!”
“THE absolute best coffee — Black Rifle. I don’t understand how it’s any different than other beans, but it is. This place is worth the extra drive out of the way to get an amazing latte or breve and pick up a bag of beans. They’ll freshly grind the beans for you too! I recommend the “Just Black” type.”
“Raising Cane’s is always a go to.Love the story behind the chicken, fries,, coleslaw and toast .One of the better sweet teas.When I lived in Portland Oregon they opened one at Pioneer Square mall.Since the City let the ( mostly peaceful ?) rioters I mean protests destroy Downtown , I haven’t been able to Enjoy it for years.I love their food ,but not enough to get mugged or ?over it.”
“Omg this place was so delicious. Brought my daughter for a girl's day and out trying new food. They have a lunch buffet, so we tried a little bit of everything. I dont think my heart ever felt that happy eating. I dont know what kinda magic they put in the food, but after I was ready for a nap. I was so content and full. It has been one of the best places I have been to eat. Will definitely be back!”
“These girls make the best coffee hands down. I come by for coffee every time I'm in Anchorage, Alaska. My drink is a mocha frappe, and I usually have it finished in less than 20 minutes if I'm not careful, kuz it's so darn good. I'll be seeing you girls next year when I'm back in town. ☕️??”
“Hands down the best neon red bull!! And always so pretty staff is really nice they smile and they say you're welcome when you thank them..... it's kind of a breath of fresh air for Anchorage customer service. I never understand why so many people in this town work a job where they have to interact with the public if they just don't like people...I mean you can get jobs that don't require any customer service skills whatsoever. These girls should go train people random drive by training lol.”
“Great food, good service. The ordering method is great because it's customizable, but it can be overwhelming and confusing if you're dealing with a wiggly baby like I was. They have high chairs and booster seats available.”
“Loved this coffee shop! Really unique specialty drinks. Quick service. Outdoor seating with umbrellas and an amazing view! Some great quick-bites (Hawaiian-role sliders, egg bites, muffins, cinnamon rolls, etc.) Lotus and other energy drinks. Even a little soccer field for kids to play in and a horseshoe pitch! Kind baristas.Parking: Plenty of parking space (at least 30 vehicles) if you want to stop for a moment and sit at their outdoor tables or let the kids run around in the soccer field.Dietary restrictions: The barista was super sweet and accommodated my wife's gluten and dairy intolerances in both her drink and food!”
“Pleasantly surprised. I did not have high expectations for this but it's close to my house and available via DoorDash. I got the beef pasta and their side salad. If you ever wanted fast food Italian food that had flavor, this is it. I don't eat pasta a lot, but this will be my go to spot in the future for a quick dinner.”
“KBC NEVER MISSES!! My go to is always the Kaladi’s frappe with caramel drizzle!The baristas are always spectacular with their customer service and always make the best coffee ?Also, thank you for the pup cup!! ? ”
“We came about 1 hour before closing, and it wasn't busy at all. The service was very good and she kept our drinks filled. The wings were soooo good but also very filling. The chili was amazing, and the friend chicken was delicious. Definitely recommend gettin some onion rings for an appetizer bc the whole table loved them. Overall, it was a very good choice of dinner plans. Wasn't expensive either. Nice peaceful atmosphere right in the middle of town.”
“It’s a (somewhat) hidden gem for excellent food, wine, and cocktails. Foodies will love it. I have been coming back for years for the flights of wine and small plates of interesting tidbits……but sometimes find myself ordering the big plates! Suddenly a glass of wine will appear in front of you that you have never experienced before and may never experience again.”
“This is a hidden gem. It does not look inviting on the outside but the atmosphere is well thought out and private booths with privacy screens. The staff is always well groomed, polite and attentive. The food is generous and delicious. Lovely stop in ”
“Anchorage Brewing is a gem! Their diverse selection of beers is a delight for any enthusiast. The outdoor seating is really nice, creating a perfect atmosphere to enjoy their fantastic brews. A must-visit for beer lovers!”

Glass Christmas ornaments…we bought a clamshell w pearls in it for early Christmas surprise for mom and dad! Of course Samovar Tea…a one of a kind to take home!!! A lovely “first” for the twins!!! Thank you to all the staff!!! BTW they carry my favorite stationary!!!!”
“I love trying out different restaurants when coming into Anchorage and Rickshaw didn't disappoint. We ordered appetizers Crispy shrimp Cakes and beef curry roti and spring rolls. Very good. I loved the drunken noodle dish with chicken ! Family ordered the Ramen and the pad see ew. everything was delicious and recommended”
“Have tried the potsticker soup with noodles twice now—fantastic! The broth is so savory, and they make their own potstickers too. Can’t wait to try dim sum on the weekends when they make that. Don’t be put off by the slightly strange location, it’s a hidden gem for sure.”
“I always order to go, but this time I got to sit for lunch with my friend. We ordered Black Peppered Chicken (It was amazingly delicious), Pad Thai & Fried Pork Belly. Everything was really tasty, great friendly service!”
“A Hidden Gem with 80's CharmI recently stumbled upon Cafe 817 in Downtown Anchorage, and despite living here for 26 years, I had never experienced this delightful gem before. Seeking a spot to kill time before an interview, my craving for coffee and a snack led me to this uniquely charming café.As soon as I stepped in, I was transported back to the Anchorage of the 80s. The vintage décor, complete with old tiles, nostalgic colors, and an abundance of sun-soaked plants in the large windows, created an atmosphere that resonated with the city's history.The owner, whose name I'm unsure of, greeted me with the warmth and humor that is quintessentially Alaskan. Being a self-proclaimed coffee snob, I decided to put their skills to the test with an iced Americano. To my delight, the shots tasted fresh, and I found myself thoroughly enjoying every sip.While waiting for my salmon sandwich, I observed the owner interacting with loyal customers. It was a joy to witness the genuine camaraderie between them, as if they had been friends for years. The atmosphere was not just about good food and coffee but also about building connections within the community.The anticipation for my salmon sandwich grew as the aroma filled the cafe. When it arrived, I could tell it was made fresh, and the taste confirmed it. The sandwich was a true delight—fresh, flavorful, and a testament to the owner's commitment to quality.What struck me most was the meaningful conversations the owner engaged in with customers. It was evident that each interaction was more than just a transaction; it was an opportunity to connect and share stories. When my food arrived, the owner's kindness added an extra layer of enjoyment to my experience.In conclusion, Cafe 817 is a place that goes beyond serving great coffee and delicious food. It's a time capsule to Anchorage's past, a hub for genuine connections, and a haven for those seeking a delightful culinary experience. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.”
“We’ve eaten at Tommys twice now and today hubs ordered the philly cheesesteak. Today was the first time in years hes had a proper philly cheesesteak! He loved it. I love their onion rings.”
“Really great food, place is known mostly by locals, and was packed when we were there. Their parking is limited in front of the restaurant, they have more parking around the back across the street to the right.”
“This is a wonderful staple for Anchorage. Excellent traditional and adventurous beers, ciders and non-alcoholic offerings. Blended beers make visiting the brewery in person a unique and special experience. Did I mention fantastic prices for tap pour microbrews? Beautiful views, ample space, and a great roof top outdoor area in the summer. Changing tables and low seating to accommodate families. They not only allow, but provide board games! The food selection is a bit narrow, but it's good pizza and pretzels. This is, in my humble opinion, the best brewery in Anchorage. The only thing its missing is those classic pop-top IPA tall boys.”
“I ordered a crepe but didn’t ask about the ingredients until after it was made (I don’t eat pork). When I received the crepe, I asked if there was pork in one of the ingredients and they checked and said there was… then they made me another crepe without any pork and were so nice about it… they also refused to let me pay for another one (even though it was 100% my fault). The service is phenomenal, and the food was so amazing! This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Anchorage from now on!”
“This is a nice coffee shop with a great atmosphere and delicious coffee! The food selection isn't the best (pretty standard pastries and stuff). Otherwise a great spot!”
“Worth the wait. Everything on the menu is good and made with care. Take cash because cards are not accepted. They are kid friendly and down-home good!Kid-friendliness: My young grandchildren always want to eat at Judy's.”
“I just Discovered this small local business. Absolutely fabulous food and a great price point. Best, salmon burger I’ve ever had with a generous portion of salmon and fabulous french fries. The staff was absolutely tentative and friendly. I will return I highly recommend.”
“Best lil dive in town. Been going here with the familly for a long time. Never disappoints. Salty, garlic, cheesy goodness. Just good ole greasy pizza. I absolutely love this place!!! I go for the pizza, but i’ve heard the lasagne is stellar. Staff is great. It’s got a real “Godfather” vibe to it.Kid-friendliness: Kids love it.”
“We LOVED southside grill! The hosts were fun, inviting, and made us laugh the entire time. Service was great and food came out quick! Definitely a stop to make if you’re jn Alaska!”
“Their Spicy Pork Carnitas are in my opinion Their best meat option. I ordered the Spicy Pork Carnitas burrito and tacos with queso on the side. excellent, will order that again next time I crave tacos.”
“Maybe cute isn't the word for a brewery but it is. Great atmosphere. Seating area has fun, and comfortable (unique) style of chairs. Great music (perfect low volume) coming through the speakers. Bartender is always friendly and very informative with drink options and decisions. New favorite spot. Paintings on wall are so good and supporting another local artist. Go see them and snack on the bagel food truck out front ?”
“Great dog-friendly place for fantastic beers. A food truck was next door so we were able to enjoy a pizza with our beers. If you like sour beers you have to try Turnagain Brewing. The framboise sour was my favorite. The sweet and the sour mix was so yummy.”
“We like this little place! The people are great and they're fast and delicious. It's kind of tucked away and it isn't fancy but I love that they let you serve your own salsa, sour cream, and guac. It's really a decent price too. It's kind of become our "quick bite nearly" place.”
“If anybody knows Luigi's Pizza they are known for their $8 pizzas (used to be $5 but now they're $8) but anytime of day you can call them ask them for a cheese or pepperoni medium pizza and every time no matter how many pizzas you asked for they'll be ready in 10 minutes and it's real quality pizza. I feel like when you get more in depth into their menu that's when they kind of fall apart but if you want a cheap cheese pizza or cheap pepperoni pizza this is definitely 100% the place to go. Very consistent.”
“Y’all made this Southern girl happy the very first night of my family’s Alaskan vacation! Great food. Chill atmosphere. Fun people! Jambalaya, fried catfish, red beans and rice and fried okra were amazing!”
“Food was very good. Items were not as described though. I was told my ribeye special would be with asparagus..it was with Brussels Sprouts. And the steak itself was thinly sliced for a 50.00 entree.”
“We had great time. The waitress who name was Hanna I think was wonderful. The food was delicious and service was great. The portions were very big. Overall we had a wonderful time.”
“I have to update my review because since the new owner/management has taken over I couldn't be more happy with the food and costumer service! My to-go orders the last year have been perfect and the people who work the front could not be more down to earth and engaging.The lady that runs the place is very nice and you can tell that she has everybody trained the right way and has this place at its best! I Order from Oasis probably once or twice every two weeks now and the consistency is very much on point?”
“We had an absolute amazing dinner tonight & as always Hailee was amazing. She always brings what ya need b4 you even know ya need it. She remembers ur orders each time u return and is always smiling. Food came so fast tonight and was so good.”
“The bar is quaint. I met a friend here. She has been coming here for years. The bartender was great.The patrons - well... interesting. I walked into the bar to order a drink. I set the empty glasses on the bar. No one said anything to me. I felt like an outsider. If the bartender said something to me I didn't hear him. However, he brought over new drinks, set them on the bar, and walked away.I was sitting outside in the sun. Rare opportunity to do so. A guy walked up the the table to talk to my friend. I asked permission to touch his beard but touched it before he gave permission. I said "oh sorry" but I do owe him a full apology. Boundaries and consent are important. I had a few drinks at this point, but no excuse.Then awhile later another guy walked out of the bar. I said "oh, he has a nice beard too." Please note I was 6-8 feet away at this point. This guy screamed! Actually screamed! He said "Don't touch my beard! You touched that other guys beard! Don't touch mine!" as he ran away.I thought he was joking because I have NEVER seen a grown man act that way. So I took a couple steps towards him. I did not touch him at all. I finished visiting with my friend and finished my drink. A bit later I went in to pay my tab. Again - NO ONE SAID ANYTHING TO ME. I felt like an intruder. An outsider. I stood at the end of the bar to pay my tab. Further down the bar I saw the guy with the beard. The guy who ran & screamed. I still thought he was joking/playing so I went and stood next to him. Again - I DID NOT TOUCH HIM AT ALL. No part of me touched any part of him. He screamed "Get away from me!!!" and ran out the door. I then went back to the end of the bar to pay my tab. A very nice gentleman at the end of the bar helped me. I am not sure what was going on with the other man. I will apologize for upsetting him, but I never touched him or even said anything to him! I am assuming mental issues but I don't know. The bartender was great, although very quiet. The bar was very clean, the bathrooms were very clean. No food available.I hear the Irish coffees are fantastic. I am not sure if I will go back. If you're looking for a quiet place with summer outdoor seating and good drinks, then give Reilly's a chance. Just don't expect a warm welcome.”
“We were greeted and seated promptly. Food was ordered shortly after and arrived quickly. This has to be the best Mexican restaurant in Anchorage. I have tried the others but the flavor isn't their like it is at El Dorado. We will definitely be coming back.”
“These are some of the best beers I have had in Anchorage. The Variety and skill in these beers is absolutely Amazing! And they owners are just the sweetest awesomest people; I may only make it there every so often but Cindy remembers me every time :)”
“The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The dining room was very open, clean and had a happy chill atmosphere. But the food.... the food was absolutely divine. It was delicious and flavorful, it immediately took me back to being a kid and eating supper at my Grandma Loretta's house. This will definitely become a regular place for me and my son.”
“Me and my husband have been going here for the past 6 years. This is our go to sushi spot. The sushi is of great quality and it's right by the house. Definitely the best sushi in my option on east side. Always feel welcomed whenever we go!”
“Great experience! Tried the steak sandwich, and it was very tasty. The pita bread with the artichoke dip was lovely as well. ?In the picture is their mud pie, which I'm happy I saved room for to try.Will definitely return.”
“Love that they provide water at all times. Safe and still a blast. Tight on space, but only because it's so popular. It's totally worth it! Adorable little place.”
“It's been several years since I've eaten here. Twin Dragon has always been my first stop after landing in Anchorage. Twin Dragon is the best bang for your buck in Anchorage.”
“My friend brought me to go food from Hometown tonight. I have had many Korean food places in my day all over the nation, and Hometown had some of the freshiest most authetic Korean I have tasted. The sauce for the Budae Jjigae was so flavorful and delicious. Portion size and prices are spot on as well. If you like fresh, authetic, and flavorful Korean food that hits the spot. You have got to try this place!!”
“Miso sushi does not have as fancy of an atmosphere as you can find at other local sushi establishments. However the food is five star across the board! The spicy tuna is immaculate. The sashimi is fresh, they have a huge variety and the quality is always above par.”
“Best Thai Food in Anchorage (in our opinon). As good or better than anything we ate in Thailand while we were there 6 weeks. Been going here for years and it is SOLID, you won't be disappointed! Our regular GO-TO restaurant here in Anchorage.*Favorites are: Green or Red Curry Beef,, Pad Kra Pao Beef, Ginger Beef, Pad Kra Pao Pork Belly, Pineapple fried rice, Tom Yum Chicken soup, Chicken wings, Larb,”
“I want to make a special mention to Carson my server. He was wonderful. It's never easy dining places with a child on the spectrum. He went out of his way to be so helpful. My son who is the pickiest of eaters loved everything that was put in front of him. Carson was so friendly. He made suggestions I loved. The food was spot on. Everything that came out was perfect. The service made the meal.”
“Local place with great food. Local next to me suggested substituting may and jalapeños for the tartar sauce and soup for the fries with the halibut. Said it would change my life. I do feel a little bit taller. ?Note: this is a seat yourself place. Don't do like we did- stand there and watch locals come in and take the empty seats.”
“My wife and I have debated on this place for over a year. Whenever we would decide to go they would be slammed. I can honestly see why !The food was absolutely amazing! I picked the burger just to be safe. I mean it’s honestly hard to botch a burger …. I was surprised! It had flavor and what I mean is the burger was juicy , flavorful, and needed no condiments or fixings to enhance flavor. I was shocked and thrilled. I think the biggest wow factor for me was the Scotch variety. While it might look small speak to the bartender and find out just how extravagant it is! I will be making this a monthly drop in.”
“This is a must if you are in Anchorage!! The owners and staff are very friendly, hard working, and have delicious food. I had the seafood pizza and baklava for dessert and it was mouth watering delicious. Oh, lovely wine selection too.”
“Honestly, I don’t go out my way to write a review for any restaurant I go to, but Samurai Sushi has impressed me every time I’ve visited. Hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had anywhere in the states. The service is always stellar and the staff always make me feel welcome. The building is clean and recently updated. Everything is perfect, I always recommend samurai sushi to my friends and they’re always blown away. If you are a sushi lover and want to eat somewhere where the staff love their product come eat here. They should be looked up upon as the standard for excellent customer service and food quality.”
“I had the Drunken Noodles Seafood Level 10 spicy!!? It can't be beat!!! Loosened my sinus a little bit Others probably on fire!! Had the Thai Ice Tea! Cool and refreshing Vivian had garlic chicken and green curry chicken entree! Had a great he hot tea! It was all very tasty”
“We love going here, we have gone often and we are never disappointed. I will always chose this restaurant as my go-to for sushi. Recommend to anyone who wants delicious sushi and warm comforting tea! You must try to tea if you like tea. It’s the best tea I’ve ever had. My husband doesn’t like tea, and even he has multiple cups when we go here. It’s the best!”
“I ordered dinner to be delivered tonight from South through Door Dash. I ordered Montecristo, and a Caesar salad with fried chicken on the side. The restaurant had to call me because they don’t offer a Montecristo. It was just a bug with the new system because they just started using DoorDash this week. So I opted for a bacon cheeseburger. Jason the FOH Manager was awesome and quick to remedy the situation.The burger was delicious. Juicy, still warm, melty cheese, bacon, perfectly toasted bun.The side of fries was crispy.I meant to eat the fried boneless chicken breast cut up on top of my Caesar salad. I tried a bite of it and then I ate it with my hands. Like the classy girl I am.I got two little plastic ramekins with Caesar dressing, and I dumped them out on top of my salad and closed the takeout box. I did a little shaking. It was a fantastic Caesar salad. Zero complaints. I mean, maybe it would’ve been better with the chicken breast on top of it, but it still was amazing. I know everybody thinks a Caesar salad is easy, but it’s not. Everything has to be just right.This is my first time dining at South since I moved back to the great state of Alaska. It was a big hit. I enjoyed it.I’m gonna have to dine in person and get a Montecristo another time.I didn’t take any photos because I was busy eating. Which says a lot actually.”
“ordered the #17 taco, cheese enchilada plate. the taco had no flavor, the freoles needed cheese and hot sauce before it was brought to the table the chips were OLD and STALE”
“Great food. Amazing beverage options. Great seating choices for an amazing price. Just be aware portion sizes have gotten smaller. Less meat on the nachos, less chips, just less & the food is not cheap”
“I found Zip Kombucha while visiting Anchorage and was impressed! I have been drinking and brewing Kombucha for years and was very happy I found this place. The staff were very helpful and friendly and I enjoyed their kombucha very much. Will definitely come here when I’m in Anchorage.”
“Love, Love, Love Taste of India! I was very pleased with the atmosphere, food and customer service. We ordered — Tandoori Mixed Grill, Chicken Bhuna and Chicken Tikka Masala.The food was very flavorful and filling. I highly recommend the Chicken Bhuna (medium spice) the spices helped clear my sinuses and was so soooo good! The Tikka Masala (medium) was also good, but I felt like it was more mild than medium heat but still very good. Looks like i’ll have to order a spice level up! I really loved that they are generous with their portions. We’ve been to a couple other Indian style restaurants and they always give us more curry than actual meat.Overall, the experience was pleasant, customer service was nice and I think the Tandoori Shrimp is on my dishes to try next time I’m here :)”
“This place was clean, and a nice place to get fresh natural items while traveling through Alaska! I would recommend it if you're looking for these items while traveling.”
“I'm so happy the Petroleum Club is open for lunch again. Back before Covid, it was my *favorite* spot to take clients. Exclusive, but not too stuffy, private, with excellent service and great networking opportunities. Now they are back with better food than ever. Their enduring classics (like the wings and the steak bites) have been joined by best-in-town pork bellies. Yummy!”
“Miss this place in the winter. Would be great if at least soup options were available, even if the location changes.Stir-fried vegetables are done the best I've ever had. The shrimp offered in entrées could be better if they were peeled, even if it costs more, as this would enhance the eating experience.Parking: Be considerate when parking.”
“the food was awesome, this place seemed to stay busy the whole time we were there. we had a California roll and a hot pot. They were both very good. The service was very good too, fast and attentive. Im sure this place will be visited agian on our next trip.”
“Went for lunch. The fried Brussel sprouts were amazing, along with the berry crumble. We were very disappointed that they took the crab cakes off the menu. That was the main draw for us!”
“It was so good. Ive been eyeing it on my way home from school and finally, its the best atmosphere and enough spice. There were also meals i havent seen before so i cant wait until the next time i come �”
“My husband loves sushi so we visited this place, it was a little hide, from the front looks like it’s closed. The food was incredible, the chef was so attentive with us in every moment. The only thing we didn’t enjoyed much was this woman (maybe his wife?) singing very loud some karaoke all the time and then talking (almost screaming because of the volume of the music) with someone else in the phone, that was not comfortable. Other than that the chef did an amazing job with our food, it felt really authentic.”
“I have only been here once but I love this place . The interior is first class ! It's beautiful ! I believe it's family run . I commented on how much I enjoyed my taco and the person I told said it was exactly how his mom made them in Mexico . I was also pleased how nicely they served a single taco . It was a very pleasant and satisfying lunch ! The location is great ! They have a rewards program which I think is very cool . I just signed up ! I highly recommended Rafeletos !”
“Love Bear Paw. Great variety, great service. The pizza is fantastic as well as their club. Their fries are fantastic. They seemed double fried. The one complaint I had was the crab dip was very bland. Couldn't see crab meat in it. Other than that, great ”
“The beer is excellent. The taproom vibes are funky, spacious, clean, and they play good music. There are N/A options. It’s dog friendly. Go weekday after 3 when they open and it’s pretty quiet. One of the better breweries in Anchorage. The Pilsner on draft is top-notch. Check it out while you’re in town. I loved the stickers of all the other breweries/climbing gyms/outdoor recreation brands they have sporadically placed around the area.”
“We came here for our anniversary dinner on a Saturday evening. The restaurant wasn't too busy, but was completely full by the time we left around 6:30 pm. It's a hidden gem right in the heart of downtown and a great spot to enjoywan amazing meal. The menu offers vegetarian and vegan options as well as substitutions. We started off with garlic cilantro house fries. The serving was extremely generous for two people and it was delicious with a ton of fresh minced garlic! My husband ordered the 14oz Bootlegger NY Strip. Although he asked for rare and was brought a medium strip, he still thoroughly enjoyed it. The dish itself was very colorful and came with a variety of purees, seasonal vegetables, and house mashed potatoes. I ordered the Vegan Israeli Risotto: israeli garbanzo beans, seasonal vegetables, deep fried oyster mushroom, and seasonal purees (beet, carrot, and pea). It was huge, extremely flavorful, and I absolutely finished the whole thing! Their service was fast and the staff extremely friendly and attentive. Overall an absolutely fantastic experience and we will definitely be coming back!”
“I was so sad we had so little time here. I cannot wait to go back. Beautiful decor, super clean, amazing service. The food!! Oh my goodness. We only had time to split one roll, but it was in the top 5 we had EVER had. Highly, highly recommend!!”
“Woooooooooww! I am overwhelmed with joy and flavor. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of spicy bbq sauce. 10/10. That was so good and I was so full but I wanted more. My fiancé ordered the 3/4 pound brisket platter and it was very tender and juicy. He got traditional and smoky bbq sauce as sides and the traditional bbq sauce I'd buy in a bottle . It was the perfect bbq sauce. We ordered the corn fritters and they were HUGE should have went with a half order. The only thing I was disappointed on were the sides. We ordered Mac and cheese and potato salad. I wish I would have paid more attention to the size of the sides cause when I opened the bag at home I was blown away. Next time I'll know to ask for a larger size. Overall, great service took about 20 mins from ordering. Hopefully it turns into a sit down restaurant with a beer selection. I can see it being the next best restaurant on the south side. Super stoked to have found this gem. I highly recommend you check it out. Update: 8 days later and I've order 2 more times cause I couldn't get enough of that brisket. Great job guys.”
“Taco King on Boniface is my new favorite restaurant. They have the best Puzole in Anchorage. Also they are the friendliest Taco King in Anchorage. Greeted with a kind smile and super fast service. Our new place for a date to eat excellent Mexican food. Thanks guys!!”
“More please!! Came across this place because it was mentioned on FB. We decided to give it a try as we're always looking for a taste of home, Maui. We ordered the Shumai, pork sticks, pancit, mochico chicken, lechon and sesame balls. It was all so good, and definitely gave us the same food we get in Maui. Love it.”
“I love this place!!! Great music and so much fun! I went to a gender reveal party there and it was awesome! I've never been to one before so congratulations on your new baby boy on the way!!!♥️?”
“I wanted to grab a quick bite and discovered this place. The restaurant wasn’t too busy. It’s a hidden gem and a great spot to enjoy a nice cozy and quiet meal. I ordered takeout: avocado roll and vegetable tempura. The avocado roll was perfect and had a wonderful texture. The vegetable tempura was perfectly fried, not too heavy or oily. It came with 2 pieces of asparagus and a piece of onion, carrot, pumpkin and zucchini. Both orders were delicious and incredibly rich in flavor. Their service was fast and the staff extremely friendly. I placed the order and within 15 min it was ready. Overall an absolutely fantastic experience and I will definitely be coming back!”
“I am not from the Anchorage area. I am in the hospital and wanted some good decent food and my CNA recommended this place. This resturant didn't disappoint me at all. I order the ribeye steak, egg rolls, and limeade to drink, and enjoyed every bite.Kid-friendliness: Menu has food that appears kid-friendly.Dietary restrictions: I didn't go to the restaurant but their menu has food for everyone including people with diet restrictions.”
“Favorite spot to take my daughter for sushi dates. We eat great sushi and laugh about all of mom's rules back at home. This photo shows a foil wrapped sushi roll on fire. It was delicious.”
“If you ever visit Anchorage, Alaska in the winter time, most Asian restaurant has noodle soup I say every places comparable. Vietnam has variety location but one has been my favorite. It’s in jewel lake road. Very comfortable setting excellent service and so food. My recommendation is the famous noodle soup. They also serve Thai food such as Pad Thai noodles, Drunken noodles m, Pad Seiw, Lad Na, curry, etc. why dislocation is my favorite because they’re not just welcome you in quick, then kick you out soon you’re done as others Location lol.”
“Omg this place was so delicious. Brought my daughter for a girl's day and out trying new food. They have a lunch buffet, so we tried a little bit of everything. I dont think my heart ever felt that happy eating. I dont know what kinda magic they put in the food, but after I was ready for a nap. I was so content and full. It has been one of the best places I have been to eat. Will definitely be back!”
“Where Friends Meet is the truth. Dottie and Jenifer are great, They made us feel like locals and we had a blast. The chowder on Friday is to die for and Saturday Hambuger and Hot dogs hit the spot.”
“Yeah. Go there for the food, not the service. I’ve been going here for years and the same owner / waitress is always tight lipped and businesslike. Sometimes rude. No smiling- ever. Anyone who writes here that they had excellent customer service should consider themselves blessed. The food makes up for it. Pricing is very reasonable, in my opinion, post-Covid. You get a lot for your money. It’s too bad that the service is so poor. This place could be so much better.”
“This Chuck E. Cheese location has been around for many years and offers a mix of classic and modern games. While some of the older games have been there for over 20 years, there are also newer games with large screens that are sure to keep the attention of your broken TikTok brain for a few secondsThe establishment has recently undergone some changes, including the removal of the animatronics and the stage. In their place, a large screen repeatedly plays a video.One of the best things about Chuck E. Cheese is that you can purchase time intervals with unlimited tokens. However, some games need to be recalibrated or are in need of repair.It's worth noting that there is one game in particular that may not be worth your time or tokens: the crane claw game downstairs. While it's certainly challenging, many kids have lost their tokens without winning a prize. Even after playing for half an hour, I was unable to win a ball for my daughter. It seems that no matter how perfectly you position the claw, it simply slips off the ball when it starts to retract.Overall, Chuck E. Cheese is a great place to bring your kids for some fun and games. Just be aware of the occasional broken or frustrating game.Kid-friendliness: For child safety, this building has only one entrance/exit.You and your kids have to get your wrists stamped with matching UV ink security codes by the door guy. The door guy will not allow any child to exit or be taken out of the building unless the child is with the adult(s) who have the matching security code stamp.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a red elevator that's strictly reserved for wheelchairs.”

“49th State always has a great atmosphere, service and food/drinks. I joined a large group event where our server Selcuk did a great job of balancing such a large group. Food and drinks were timely and delicious! I had the vodka raspberry soda made with 49th state raspberry soda. So delicious! The eggroll appetizer was delish! Highly recommend stopping by 49th State for excellent drinks and food!”
“Ordered Hawaiian burger no ham with fries. Juicy delicious one of the best burgers intown I have tried. Grilled onions the grilled red peppers n grilled pineapple on top of wonderful beef patty cheese lettuce tomato and warm bun. Will return for more..”
“i went here a few weeks ago! our server and ajumma were great! the food was good! my hubby got a (idr what it’s called) platter of rice and meat and i got a seafood noodle soup in a pot. i liked that they give us sides of small things! i was basing the food and what to get off the pictures and almost got intestine soup ? luckily our server informed me what i was getting! so i had the chance to change to something i would like. lol i would recommend you try this place out!”
“The bowling is fun and family friendly, the atmosphere is good. Lots of people. It’s good a place to go. The bar is nice as well. They have pool tables, various games and karaoke on Tuesdays. The bar tenders are good people.”
“Everything is amazing. The drag performers are so above and beyond talented and the bar staff does a phenomenal job with drinks. The food always tastes amazing and Tanya at the door is always pleasant and cheery. I love it there”
“Our go to for South Anchorage Sushi take out. Always amazing quality and service! We love the high quality sushi. My favorite rolls are the Lobster roll, 911 and Sweet Shorty. My kids are OBSESSED with the sesame chicken, its the best in town!!”
“The Broken Blender has probably the best Old Fashioned in Anchorage. For reals, and Jo is the best.We have multiple food sensitivities. So, take those three stars with a grain of salt. Few places in Anchorage are 100% safe for us. Besides, those tots really did taste amazing before I realized I'd dosed myself.”
“Such a wonderful show! We’ve been to a couple, the sassy Saturday’s are amazing as are the Halloween shows! I can not recommend a better place to be, and I’m so absolutely happy to be spending my birthday weekend here! Wonderful outfits, amazing performers, and the hosts are perfection!”
“So it's been at least 10 plus years since I've had a Papa Murphy's Pizza. And the one time I did try it, it was from this location and I'm not gonna lie. I did not like it. So here we are , yeeeesrs later. My husband and I had a gal by the name of Ali that we ran into that works here, tell us that we should come see her and give it another try. So. We did. But when we came by she was not working. Hanna and Jenna were. We were pleasantly surprised. They were sooo friendly and helpful since it's been soo long we didn't know what we wanted. We got the family size and it was huge. They were happy to make substitutions and add ons. The pizza was awesome and we have lots of left overs wrapped up in the freezer. We will definitely be back!!!”
“This place has a large selection of seafood to choose from. Bob and Carl are your go to team for wholesale support. They are priced fair and quick on the service. If you are in the business of buying wholesale... Give them a try!”
“Sharay, was delightful Sharan, very efficient! She was the only server taking care of the restaurant, however the 2 gentlemen working with were also exceptional. Their team work made for a wonderful experience for two very tired Texans!”
“The combo and seafood pho was amazing. If you haven’t tried or love sesame balls. You have to pick up a batch of theirs. Some of the best sesame balls I’ve ever had.”
“Good pizzas and good brews. Really enjoyed the Fairweather IPA and Arctic Apple Ale. Side salads are HUGE. Chicken Rockefeller has tons of meat. Call of the Wild reindeer sausage flavor is a little lost with all the mushrooms but the spicy ranch from the Moose Ranch Salad was a great dipper.”
“Tasty fried foods; like crab legs & lobster, along with shrimp & catfish. Various sides available. Desserts are dreamy & plentiful. 6+ cake options with several pie choices. Will return. Davon's is open on Thursdays. Different vendors occupy space other days.”
“Awesome place to get the real African cornmeal in 50lbs bags (Bunge brand) & dried beans of every sort! Huge selection of spices. Friendly family & very helpful.”

“Hands down best pizza in Anchorage. Made fresh to order and served piping hot right out of the oven. Lots of topping options but don’t skip over their regular pizza’s. The Uncle Joe is my favorite out of the ones we had.”

“Amazing food at The Hottest Spot with great customer service. The crab racoons, the chef hott pot special, and the tempura Oreos were all delicious. The hott pot was such a joy and big enough for two. Great place!”
“I love this place! Everything I have tried has always been delicious and I make a point to try something new every time I go. Staff are friendly and service has been good for both dine-in and pick up orders I’ve done. I can’t decide on a favorite dish to recommend (so many good ones!) but the house-made lemonade with mint is my go-to beverage in the summer especially!”

You see how your food is made and the boss controls it. attentive team - you will be remembered as a good friend. AND IT'S DELICIOUS!!!! I know all the establishments in Anchorage - I RECOMMEND!

“I walked over there yesterday and purchased a bunch of gorgeous smoked salmon strips. The staff (and owners) visited with me while my loot was professionally packaged. They were lovely humans, and I was impressed enough to rate them.”
“Great experience and amazing food. If you think about it, the price is so worth it for all you can eat, there are over 50 different dishes and all of it was so good!”
“From starters - when walking in, you see a very beautiful fish tank filled with what I believe are Garibaldi fish! They are super cute and almost seem like they attempt to follow you! The seats are nice and cushiony and it's not very crowded! The food was delicious! We had the girlfriend roll, which we ate all of, and it filled us up quickly before even getting to our main meal! The wait time was a bit long, but it helped us regain some hunger for our main meal. The workers were very kind and didn't need us to repeat our menu orders and actually got it all correct! I highly recommend this place”
“Love that they provide water at all times. Safe and still a blast. Tight on space, but only because it's so popular. It's totally worth it! Adorable little place.”
“I didn't know they had changed ownership, I order from time to time and accidentally ordered a flavor they don't carry anymore. The person taking my order misunderstood and just combined two other flavors that didn't end up being too appetizing. I brought up the mistake and spoke with the owner directly at their request. I explained the error was my fault and they offered to remake my order with a current sauce. That's 5☆ service. Still love this place. Always coming back”
“Was working Fur Rondy & I-did-a-Dog at race start. Most fortunate to have myThai next to me. Ate different meal each time. Incredible flavors, all fresh! Hospitality second to none. Not waiting another year to go back.”
“The Margarita Pizza. I've gone longer distances for less, and here there are with a food truck, closer than ever! If you have picky eaters, but still want them to experience new flavors, bring them here.”
“I really appreciate them to keep their food authentic even though it's easy to compromise its authenticity just to please some of the locals who are just too ignorant to know that an authentic bowl of ramen noodles should come with soft-boiled egg not hard-boiled egg. The owner got yelled at by some ignorant locals who don't have a clue that this should come with soft boiled egg Not hard boiled egg. Whoever did that to them should be ashamed of themselves! Those troglodytes should learn to do their own research so as to know what an authentic bowl of ramen noodles should be.”
“The Newest Wendy's in town is pretty good. We go thru the drive thru and it's as it should be they have a good staff and we always have to ask for a straw but other than that it's all good.Parking: It looks like it's a shared lot with Walgreens.Kid-friendliness: It is a family restaurant within walking distance for the neighborhood.”
