Food was good, atmosphere was cool, service was excellent
Anchorage is not where you go for gourmet meals. This is the first thing you need to know about this beautiful coastal town. Gwinnie's, however, is where you go for some of the best comfort food in the territory. Great staff, really eclectic decor and atmosphere. Food was some of the best we had found in our 3 day stay downtown.
The food is simply amazing here!
🦀Crabs Benedict - can’t beat fresh, sweet, real crab meat. So good!
🥩Chicken fried steak - warm, crunchy, flavorful, comforting. A must!
Vibes and service are great too. I love it here so much and will always pay a visit whenever I come back!
