“What a Surprising find in Alaska. We went here off a recommendation from a Chena Springs employee. So glad he did & that we went. Spoke with the proprietor for a bit after he asked about why we were in Alaska. We asked the same & he gave his story. He made fresh cabbage for us after telling us how he does everything himself. Great young man & even better food. Of all the Jamaican spots I've been to, including Jamaica, his food is pretty good. He has a unique twist on his seasoning which made the jerk superb. This is definitely a Premier Eating Spot for Fairbanks and should be Highly Recommend. When we go back, this will be our 1st stop to eatParking: Parking is on the side, right by stairs to door”

“Great food experience. The only downside is the slow service. There will always be a line of people waiting to be seated (at least during dinner time) and you can only make reservations if you call before 14:00. (I think it was 14:00). Nevertheless, give it a try. You won’t regret it if you like exploring new types of cuisine. I’ve been here a couple of times; I tried Bors (this was really good if you like beets), meatball soup, limba soacrei, salad olivie, salata vinegret, pelmeni, zrazy, sarmale (my so far favorite entree), coaste de vita (nicely done roasted beef ribs), costita de porc (the pork was a bit dry), mamaliga. Of course I didn’t eat all by myself, I shared!!! Don’t judge lol.”
“I was craving a hamburger ? so I found the place in Google search. It was the best tasting burger I had in years. Very down to earth and original taste from the past. Better then Sonics or In and Out Burger.”
“Absolutely delicious! Everyone was very friendly, there was a little bit of a wait for food - but so so worth it! The drinks were great, my wife had a cider and really liked it. I had the root beer and I would go back again for it. The addition of Frozen Smoke BBQ in the building is genius! The merch is really cute. Seating is a little sparse - I went on a Thursday evening, I can’t even what weekends look like in here, but I would definitely go again!”
“A 'Thai shack' with exceptional Thai food offerings to go. The service is fast and friendly. Call ahead of time to place your order for pickup at their drive up window.”

The spring rolls were also incredible and big enough portion for 3 or 4 to share. Best food I've had in Alaska through a week long journey!”

“The food was so delicious and the hot sauce was actually a little spicy! I got a bowl and I will definitely be returning as the prices are good and food is amazing. Atmosphere was not intimate or classy, but loud dives are what seem to hold all the best foods in Fairbanks.”

“AMAZING!!! Food was outstanding, best I've ever had. I'm completely stuffed and yet my mouth is watering just thinking about the food we just ate! The staff was very welcoming and helpful, despite being short-staffed. The atmosphere is very relaxing and friendly. Highly recommend, especially if you have an intolerance/allergy/sensitivity to gluten.”

“Absolutely was not expecting to find a stellar craft cocktail bar in AK! I popped in on a whim purely because of the name and am so glad that I did. The cocktails are top-notch and could easily compete with those found in big cities in the lower 48. Try a few of them and walk or grab a ride. I also had the chicken pesto flatbread, which was divine.”
“We were so hungry and trying to find someplace to eat after the drive back from Chena Hot Springs. We were able to get a table right away at 9pm and were paid and leaving by 10. Service was very efficient; my burger was delicious and cooked to ”

“I am trying out all the sushi restaurants in town. So far I didn't really have much good impression from others so I tried this place after reading some good reviews. I don't know.. maybe my expectation is too high. I am from a huge city where you can see excellent quality, yet affordable sushi places every corner of the street I really miss good sushi.. we ordered sushi and sashimi boat for 2 people, it looked amazing but taste wasn't as good. It's not bad but The way they age fish for sushi is just not my style.. not much flavor, not too fishy, but really not much flavor. After a few bites, I got pretty tired of it, couldn't eat more even tho there were all different kinds, it didn't taste different or flavorful.. even tho i'mm eating different kind, it tasted like same thing repeat, not satisfying for the price. People were super super friendly ,nice and polite so I feel bad that I'm leaving a negative review. My boyfriend who's from here liked it so I guess it's good for fairbanks quality. we'll come again to try other items :) cabbage salad, miso soup was great. Maybe I try rolls next time !!”
“amazing brewery in Fairbanks Alaska!great indoor and outdoor seating area! love the fire pits, atmosphere and overall vibe of Hoo Doo Brewing Company! check out the food truck schedule and visit next time you’re in fairbanks Alaska!”
“We would like to thank Misty the manager for taking such great care of us! The food was exceptional as well as the service. Our server Elizabeth went above and beyond. She is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and does whatever is necessary to please! A great experience from start to finish. Will definitely return!”
“Great staff, and calm decor. The food isn’t bad, but it isn’t the greatest either. Nevertheless, it’s my second time around here. Maybe I’m just picky with my sashimi? Some tasted a bit fishy and others were fresh. Would I come back for a third time? Yeah, for sure.”
“First time trying the fruit crepes today and it is sooooo delicious. I highly recommend trying them out. I order the beef lo-mein and keep seeing the crepes but always scared to try them. So glad I bought it ate half and can eat the other half later. 5 star from me.”
“Ever have that first unfavorable experience with a terrible recruiter that sours you to the idea of working for the company you thought you were interested in? That was Shari, our hostess. We nearly left to go elsewhere but I'm glad we didn't.The ambience was lodge-like with a fireplace and full bar. Our server Alan was welcoming and took great care of us. She had the strawberry fields salad and I had the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. Both were tasty. She wanted some bread to go with her salad. Alan brought out a perfect French loaf with three butter blends - one lemon herb and another with cinnamon.We topped off with Alan's recommendation of the caramel apple pie with a scoop of ice cream.”
“Great buffet breakfast, plenty of choices. Reindeer sausage is on the menu, really tasty. They seat you. Located inside the Westmark hotel. We had super good service. The waitress(SHOUT OUT) was very informative, a wealth of info. She was glad to see us when said we were from Maryland. She was born in Maryland.”
“We had the yellow chicken curry with rice and original pho. Loved both of them especially the yellow curry which was based on coconut milk. Very tasty, will visit ”
“So good we went both days we were in Fairbanks. Bloody Marys were great. Second day I got their famous meatball sub and it is the best one I’ve ever had.One star off for minor stuff:- better communications w customers as they wait for tables during busy time- some rooms are fun and edgy and others seem like they have yet to get that same lived-in decorated look.Overall = I will go every time I am in Fairbanks.”
“The foods pretty good, although the sweet and sour chicken and shrimp tend to be way overcooked. My wife loves the egg fooyoung, I've had a good number of other menu items, and they've always been good, I'm quite fond of the curry shrimp, and our order has always been spot on with average prices.”
“We were in Fairbanks for a Gymnastics competition and decided we wanted some Steak for dinner. Found this little hole in the wall gem on Google. Wow!!!! Everything was fantastic. My wife and I both had the Foxy cut, Rare and Medium well respectfully. Both cuts just melted in your mouth. The portion size, the flavor, the tenderness. Everything was perfect. The children both had the Salad bar and split chicken fingers. Even that portion size was huge. And let's not forget the Escargot. Very nicely sized with a wonderful garlic, butter ratio with some lemon on top. I would highly recommend finding this place if you're in Fairbanks.”
“Our food was wonderful and service was perfect by everyone from or main server to the kitchen servers too. We each had smoked salmon chowder and the panko breaded fish and chips. It was delicious. The sunset martini is delicious and the lemon creme brûlée is amazing. It's a little over priced for the quantity of food, but it's Princess.”

“Excellent food, fantastic gluten free options. I love getting take out from here and when I do eat at the restaurant the service is always wonderful. They also have a station with hand sanitizer and take precautions to keep the diners safe. One of my favorite places to eat.”
Takeout Restaurants
“First time consumer at Lane's Quickie Tacos. From the moment I walked in I was impressed with how friendly Lane was. He introduced himself, as well as Brady and even took the time to ask my name. He then very patiently walked me through his entire menu. Home made tortillas were so soft and tasty. I tried 3 different tacos and they were all delicious. In fact I ordered one where I was a little hesitant on one of the toppings and Lane gave me a little sample first to assure me the flavors mix and mix very well, that one wound up being my favorite out of the 3 I tried. Upon leaving I said goodbye to both Lane and Brady, even though busy with other customers and Brady busy making tacos they both politely responded, thanked me for coming in as well wishing me a great remainder of the day. Beyond impressed and I will definitely return before I leave Fairbanks.THANK YOU Lane and Brady!”
“I love Buckos so much! I have access to a nice espresso machine at home, but I still find myself going to Buckos several times a week when I’m in town working. All of the baristas are the best and make everyone feel so welcomed and the coffee is amazing. I love their specials; they are so creative with their drinks. I definitely recommend Buckos to anyone who wants good coffee in Fairbanks. They are the best!”

“This is the best Thai food restaurant in town! Everything we’ve had there has been excellent and everyone that works there is so nice! Even tonight, a man came in to warm up and the owner asked him if he had any gloves, he said no, and the owner walked out to his truck grabbed his gloves and brought them in and gave them to the man warming up. You don’t see kindness like that much anymore! 10/10 best restaurant for so many reasons!”
“Beautiful restaurant, service was quick and very attentive. The food was incredible. Ordered the panang curry, tom ka soup and pad see ew and they were all 10/10. The spring rolls were also incredible and big enough portion for 3 or 4 to share. Best food I've had in Alaska through a week long journey!”
“Great food super fast. Walk around and enjoy the artful landscape around the air king lot while you wait for your order. Fox park right next door has picnic tables. And you have to try the Curry Puffs!!! They are delish.”
“The food was phenomenal. The service was quick and they were so nice.Vegetarian options: Tofu as a protein choiceKid-friendliness: They seemed to love my daughter.”
“Best sushi we've had in all of Alaska! The atmosphere is welcoming and well designed. My kids loved the bubble wall. Everything we ordered tasted delicious!”
“I love Lu Lu's but on occasion the coffee is burned. Meaning the espresso filter is not being properly cleaned before the next shot. A cup of coffee is expensive these days. I usually go to Little Owl Cafe because their shots are clean everytime. Most places in fairbanks burn the shots on occasion. I just had to dump $3.00 Americano. Yuk.”
“I went there to pick up pastries for my friend who turned out to go for gluten-free diet so I ended up eating them all by myself. I l had the Almond croissant, pastry filled with cheese, raspberry tart?(Sorry it's been a while) all good, I was happy to find this place, I call it best bakery in fairbanks. It's really cute too, I will be my go to place for house warming gifts. Price is just right.”
“One of the best places in Fairbanks. Located in a bar, Mom's Kitchen has a wide variety of food. I've had the fish and chips and burger and both are really great.Also 10/10 thai tea”
“Don’t let the stupid name fool you. It’s a cool atmosphere and great Korean food. The chicken they serve is real chicken not processed meat chunks. The breading is amazing. But this is mainly a Korean restaurant. The Korean food is on point! Before you wave try those mozzarella sticks… cinnamon? Really?!? Who’d of think it would be so goood!Oh and the waiter is really good and nice.Very cool place. Just needs a name change.”

“Im here in Alaska for vacation from Florida for a week, and I ate here 4 times!!! Couldn't get enough,Tried other coffee booths here but couldn't compare. Best Chai Latte ever and the Jalapeño biscuit sandwich was stupendous. Definitely will come back on my next winter ”
“Definitely quieter than the other breweries. Wife especially loved it due to all the ciders and sours on tap. Had two of their beers, an IPA and a stout. The stout definitely was something I’d go back for. Not much out of the ordinary and some snacks sold on site. Wasn’t a problem as we had dinner before coming in. Plenty of seating and friendly bartender.”

“The BEST sushi in town and always such great service. Our waitress noticed that I wasn’t eating because I was holding my fussy son and entertained him while I finished my meal ❤️”
“Absolutely beautiful work and always delicious. The cake itself is moist and soft, not dry and crumbly. The cupcakes I order have always been a hit at the parties! Thank you for the great work!”

“C&J'a is our familys favorite restaurant, the food is always great, the prices are reasonable, the restaurant is always clean. the wait staff are friendly and welcoming. they also have great shakes. when ever we have out of town visitor this is our go to resturant never had anyone not rave about how good it is”
“First time visit and I would say glad I did stop in for a bite to eat. This place is very clean and smells fresh. Ramon,Willy, and Gabby were very helpful assisting me with my purchase. I will visit again and insist you do the same.”
“The service is ALWAYS very friendly!I always get the same tuxedo mocha and breakfast burrito, and my only complaint is that about 15% of the time the coffee isn't hot enough. The burrito quality is sometimes inconsistent.Still a loyal customer though.”
“It was interesting ordering the Subway sandwiches online. Not a lot of options to eliminate or customize a Sandwich. And in all honesty, I just may not have been able to find it on the app..Vegetarian options: Subway makes any kind of Sandwich you want, so it's easy to get one without meat.Kid-friendliness: Subway is a great place for kids. What's always a TV on with something for them to watch.Parking: You can park anywhere in this large parking lot.”
“We hadn't eaten at A&W in the states for a couple decades and we're pleasantly surprised at how well the burgers and overall meal turned out to beWe will again at A&W to our list of burger places as we were surprised at the Quality and freshness of the burgers”
“The food is good and the workers are nice… when you can get ahold of one. The lobby has some serious neglect issues and wait times can be crazy. But when it comes to the food, it is surprisingly good, and usually fresh - probably because they are always so behind in the kitchen ?”
“Food was how it should be. Like any other KFC! Crispy tenders and fries. Hot mac&cheese!It’s a fast food restaurant so the seating area is how you expect it to be. But it was very clean!Friendly staff!”
“I go at least once a week depending on time and schedule load. Taco Bell ? really hits that spot when you need it. Different flavors and a fresh twist. The people tonight at the college location were busy but handled it really well. They also were out of certain beverages, which they informed me right in the beginning of the order, which is very good.. was fast and efficient, and nothing was missing. All I can say is keep this type of speed and quality ?. There are some days, though, where things are off or they are short staffed. whenever this is the case, expect some items or item to be a bit cold. Maybe sat at the window waiting for the other items.. I don't really know the situation, but that's about it. Overall, it was a great quick fix. Remodel was a great addition. Keep up the great work.Vegetarian options: Cheese or some other substitute. Also is displayed with the image or icon of a V that's in white and green, indicating vegan. Veggie or bean types.Dietary restrictions: Cheese, beans, veggies. Water ? and temptations. ?Kid-friendliness: Just about the same as every other fast food joint.Wheelchair accessibility: Remodeled building and walkways so expect wheelchair ♿️ ? ?”
“Drive-in and dine in are closed due to understaffing. Drive thru is also really slow. However, the food they put out is pretty good. If you want sonic, please be patient with the staff. They're doing their best”
“The drive-thru speaker was very monotone and un-energetic, but after paying and pulling up to the second window, i was greeted with a smile and great customer service, including an apology for the wait(lunch rush). Although the food quality(For McDonald's) was outstanding! I got a spicy McChicken deluxe meal and had extra large piece of chicken with adequate amount of topping and even was loaded up with more than plenty fresh and hot fries, by far best quality and quantity ive ever experienced from a McDonald's”
“They do take a little bit to get your order together if you go in but that's because of the drive thru but other than that it's really good prices especially for what your ”
“Chicken wrap! Love em. Improvement would be diced tomatoes and sour cream with a dash of salsa. But then the cost would be prohibitive, so good base product. Took it home to add more lettuce and extra ingredients. Two meals for me and DELICIOUS! Do it again and again!”
“Amazingly fresh food. Great service.. Awesome taste.. Such tasty Indian food @ Alaska is a big thing :) to top it, super friendly owner!! All in all, v loved coming here every single day of our stay in fairbanks! Tnku”
“This place is above and beyond!!! The green burger is the ultimate burger expirence!! And the staff are friendly and not overwhelming!!!I would definitely go again..did I mention the prices are unbeatable for the quality of food and service .this is by far the best resteraunt I've been to in fairbanksKid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and it is nice to know I can take my daughter to a more upscale resteraunt for a decent meal!”

“First time visit last night and it was great. Margie was so nice and welcoming to every customer that walked in, and she’s super fun to talk to. My group will definitely be back to visit.”
“I believe Beth was the bartender? She was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She opened the doors on time and the environment was very clean. Highly recommend!”
“Really great Thai food! Very happy we stopped in here. The Red Curry and Pad Thai were perfect, and we loved the halibut egg rolls! Highly recommend their Thai iced tea, with free refills! Very friendly and great staff too. :)”
“I had one of the best coffees I’ve ever had today, at the Lumi Coffee Bar! It was perfect…not too hot, not too cold, PERFECT sweetness…it was a salted caramel mocha…I could not resist. It was more than just good, didn’t taste heavy like some “sweet” coffees. It was just right, and a very reasonable price. OH and yes, I had a blueberry muffin too- light and fluffy, with just the right blueberry to muffin ratio. Who could resist?!”
“Just try it. The menu is very simple, but if you won’t regret picking any of the dishes from it. We had yellow and green curry plus a few appetizers and enjoyed it thoroughly.”
“Visited one night and it was the only restaurant open in downtown that had moderate pricing and it was packed. Poor waitress had to wait all the tables herself. I went the next day and the food was delicious. I had the fresh spring rolls and drunken noodles. Not spicy at all so if you like heat, you will need to ask them to add more heat.”
“Absolutely delicious sandwichs, coffee, smoothie and carmel/fudge treats. The gift shop also has souvenirs that are good quality rather than the poor quality stuff sold at other places”
“This is a great dive bar. It's dark, it's dingy, and is a very cool local hang out. The drinks are tasty. They have a music jukebox that you can select songs from. All the locals are very cool. There was one grumpy old bear, but he was funny, and he just needed a drink to warm up.”
“Great food but it often takes forever. They tell me food will be ready in 15 minutes and I end up spending another 15 waiting in the cafe. Very limited seating, but great food and baked goods.”
“This coffee hut has the best sparkling lemonade. Also the staff is so nice especially Acacia. I forgot my wallet and Acacia said not to worry about it I could just pay extra next time. Now that is awesome customer service! Thank you so much I will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend this coffee hut!”
“I’m addicted to the English muffin sandwich with egg, cheddar, and sausage or ham (best one in town). Pair that with a great latte, and there’s my lunch — nearly every day! I’m a creature of habit, but one of these days I’m going to be adventurous and try a different sandwich, most especially the BALTO. The baristas are very friendly, and the owner is very quick to respond to a small concern and to rectify it. I highly recommend this coffee stop!”
“I'm glad I was able to get my fix this morning with a red bull smoothie. I went to 2 other places, and they couldn't do it. I got an orange cream red bull smoothie, and it's delicious! ❤️”
“Small mom and pop café..food is good and the service is also good..we had the eggs Benedict and it was excellent..I am a chef by trade and these eggs were really good..”
“Stopped 4 times going to and from Manley Ak. Everything we had was good, and Lots of it. I especially liked the Breakfast Pan Bake. Highly recommend place to stop out in the middle of nowhere . Service was great too.”
“Food was delicious and the portions are great. It is a bit pricey… but in my opinion it’s worth the price.Food is super fresh, cooked when ordered so you would have a wait for it as if you were in a restaurants. Again, well worth the wait.Just wish they had fountain drink… and not just can pops.”
“Visiting from California:) pretty cool pizza spot with mini golf ⛳️I ordered a milkshake and a Pepperoni/bacon/mushroom Large Pizza ?The look and taste of it was all great ? definitely visit !Just follow the signs and it’s and the end of a road”
“We would like to thank Misty the manager for taking such great care of us! The food was exceptional as well as the service. Our server Elizabeth went above and beyond. She is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and does whatever is necessary to please! A great experience from start to finish. Will definitely return!”
“Togo Korean Kimbob is delicious! Do not let the recent updates from Jung's deter you. The owner is still so kind and attentive. The dining area is smaller now, but the service is quick! The kimchi pancake is incredible and a must-try.”
“Great staff, and calm decor. The food isn’t bad, but it isn’t the greatest either. Nevertheless, it’s my second time around here. Maybe I’m just picky with my sashimi? Some tasted a bit fishy and others were fresh. Would I come back for a third time? Yeah, for sure.”
“I tried a few dishes by sharing with friends. I think it's a bit different from Greek cuisine I ever had in Greece. I guess it's a modified one but taste very good.Caution! dish portion is huge!”

“The waitresses were great,funny and on the ball, the steaks were perfectly seasoned and cooked, but the chef Ky spoiled us with the amazing cheesecake that he decorated with strawberries even though it wasn't on the list. We will for sure be back!!!”
“Great local brewery with friendly staff and excellent beer! A bit out of the way for most folks, but well worth the trip past local monuments and attractions like the Alyeska Pipeline and Pedro Monument.”
“Great place, tip your batista if that's what you call them (of course drunk typing this) great place during the Alaskan winter when I go. Smoke area full of entertainment if your alone Ike I am. Normally with groups it's hell'uve fun. Either way it's a great experience that's one not to be forgotten even if you have the worst hangover over”

Absolute best place to eat in Fairbanks, no competition. Will definitely become regulars when they reopen in August. Thank you to everyone at Latitude 65 who made our experience memorable last night!”

“I wanted to take my Granddaughter to a nice sushi restaurant since in our extended family she and I are the only sushi eaters. I would get sushi rolls and share with her from the grocery store but we had to go into Fairbanks for a dental appointment for her so we had a day of having fun. They open at 11:00 which fit my schedule so I decided to go to Kanpai. I ordered a bento box with sushi to "share." It was amazing. I commercial fish in Ketchikan and I can tell when fish was handled correctly; it was. I had her go to the counter to watch how the food was prepared and she loved it. The chef was gracious and deftly demonstrated the preparation for her. My wife doesn't eat raw fish so she got tempura instead and it was excellent. They also gave our granddaughter special training chop sticks that she got to take home! To top it off, the chef made a koala out of an orange for her dessert! Did she ever feel special. I highly recommend Kanpai for a special meal. The bubble wall kept her mesmerized and the playing grand piano added to the fine atmosphere. All the staff were exceptional.”
“Don’t let the stupid name fool you. It’s a cool atmosphere and great Korean food. The chicken they serve is real chicken not processed meat chunks. The breading is amazing. But this is mainly a Korean restaurant. The Korean food is on point! Before you wave try those mozzarella sticks… cinnamon? Really?!? Who’d of think it would be so goood!Oh and the waiter is really good and nice.Very cool place. Just needs a name change.”
“Very homey little spot with excellent service. They have a very nice menu, and an extensive vegan/veg menu if that's your thing. As well as low carb options.”

“We had the opportunity to have a photobooth at Big Daddy’s in 2023. The staff was accommodating to make sure we had a great location for our clients. They moved tables and chairs to make our job of capturing the fun easy. Thank you! We highly recommend having an event with this long time Fairbanks family owned restaurant. Also the food is amazing!!!”
“So good we went both days we were in Fairbanks. Bloody Marys were great. Second day I got their famous meatball sub and it is the best one I’ve ever had.One star off for minor stuff:- better communications w customers as they wait for tables during busy time- some rooms are fun and edgy and others seem like they have yet to get that same lived-in decorated look.Overall = I will go every time I am in Fairbanks.”
“Honestly, the best meal we had during our time in Fairbanks and we had a LOT of good meals. We got lucky and got in without a reservation, but knowing what I do now, I would make a reservation if I went back. The food was outstanding. In fact, the crab legs were SO good, that I refused to order them at any other restaurant as there is no way that they could be better. The staff was fantastic and the ambiance very nice. While it was a little pricey, we walked away feeling that it was worth every penny. We told anyone that we spoke with about it while there and several took our advice and went, sharing very similar reactions. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. Best place we went during our week plus in Fairbanks!”

“The food was so delicious and the hot sauce was actually a little spicy! I got a bowl and I will definitely be returning as the prices are good and food is amazing. Atmosphere was not intimate or classy, but loud dives are what seem to hold all the best foods in Fairbanks.”
“This place had the best bloody mary and they also have a 'create your own' pasta so that was the most amazing dish ever. Wish I found this place earlier in my stay in Fairbanks because I would have been eating there every ”
“My previous experience with Thai was a disappointment. This place changed my mind. Everything was so good and the atmosphere vibe added to the experience. Thank you”
“Delightful staff and atmosphere. The salad bar was fresh. The Rib Eye was cooked to perfection, tender and nicely seasoned; probably the best I've ever eaten. If we move back here, I would definitely dine here frequently.”
“Had a roast beef hoagie and a white mocha latte, bf had Hungarian mushroom soup and the shrimp wrap. All the veggies were so fresh. Will definitely be back to try more.”
“Visited one night and it was the only restaurant open in downtown that had moderate pricing and it was packed. Poor waitress had to wait all the tables herself. I went the next day and the food was delicious. I had the fresh spring rolls and drunken noodles. Not spicy at all so if you like heat, you will need to ask them to add more heat.”
“This is the BEST pizza in town!!!!Individual wood oven pizzas made to order. Don't forget thier salads. They have the best salad with walnuts on it. Family friendly atmosphere and a great location above the planes. We love it hereKid-friendliness: Kid friendly environment”
“The drive-thru speaker was very monotone and un-energetic, but after paying and pulling up to the second window, i was greeted with a smile and great customer service, including an apology for the wait(lunch rush). Although the food quality(For McDonald's) was outstanding! I got a spicy McChicken deluxe meal and had extra large piece of chicken with adequate amount of topping and even was loaded up with more than plenty fresh and hot fries, by far best quality and quantity ive ever experienced from a McDonald's”
“I love everything about this gem!!!! Amazing staff, cozy environment, absolutely delicious food!!!! The owner is very attentive. I can’t wait to return to this slice of home away from home!”
