“Super cute place. I had the Union Chez Burger with fries. The fried leeks on the burger were a great touch. The reviews are right, get the ketchup and the ranch! There were so many delicious looking desserts that it was hard to choose. We ended up going with the strawberry cream cheese roll. It was angel food cake rolled up with cream cheese and strawberries and topped with either turbinado or cane sugar. So good! The food came up very fast after placing our order.“

“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.“

“What a gem! We were so excited to go back to Fairbanks and see the northern lights but a close second was going to mom’s again. We went three times during our 5 day stay this time and it never disappoints. All of the Asian selections are amazing, as are the burgers. I love the jalapeño poppers too, best I have ever had. It is inside a little sports bar but don’t let that fool you. This is some of the best food you will have, in any city. By the way mom’s staff… you should really consider selling that homemade soy sauce. Sooooooo amazing. God bless you guys and thank you.“

“Perfect stop for us as we transitioned from traveling to the start of our stay in Fairbanks.I had a French dip sandwich with a really good green salad. I regretted not ordering a bigger salad and just skipping the heavy sandwich. My husband had a burger and very average fries (frozen, not fresh potatoes). The burger was good and hefty.The service was fine--it wasn't busy, and our food came out quickly.The atmosphere was average bar interior design--nothing stood out as exceptional or as glaring. I doubt we will return when in the area but our lunch was pleasant.“

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.“

“I did a lot of work on the BAKERY . and made it as beautiful as I could . it's a nice restaurant and the people that own it are the greatest people around . I enjoyed working with them and I would work with them more. the food is spectacular. John runs a clean efficient RESTAURANT . and his help is great thay are helpful courteous very knowledgeable . Both restaurants there is plenty of food. you almost want to go back for seconds.And if you like sushi there is a new restaurant upstairs it is called the NINJA SUSHI. it is spectacular food and the people that run it is just as spectacular. And the food is great. and I didn't even like sushi . taking a family member or a loved one or just a group of friends. it's a very nice restaurant . and you will enjoy the atmosphere . and the food.“

“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!“

“This review is purely on the Bar/Lounge side, not the restaurant side. Visited on a Saturday evening, most visitors I would assume are hotel guests most of whom are labor hands driving to/from the north, so that gives you an idea of the crowd. This is probably the better lounges in town, open and plenty of seating. The bar is tiny but packs a punch. It may not have have a big barside but they can make just about any cocktail you want... thus, no physical menu. That's may bit annoying for someone who isn't a usual drinker and needs a list to choose from. Also, had no clue how they charge for drinks. Food was surprisingly good, not sure why I had low expectations. The food came out at a reasonable rate. We had pulled pork nachos, foccacia bread and calamari. All were great. Service was relatively good. We weren't waited on very much, I'm guessing just typical evening traffic and chaos, but the ladies who did serve were very friendly and nice.Get the peanut butter pie. You won't regret it.“
