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

Hot Pot • $$
“I ate so much in the first 30minutes that even by almost an hour I couldn’t eat any more. Most of the meat was flavorless, however the sweet and savory sliced steak was really yummy. I had 3 orders of them.
I also had two orders of “pork belly” (which was really just thick cut bacon), an order of chicken, and order of pork shoulder, and order of the shaking beef, and two orders of brisket (also probably not brisket but hard to tell from the cut).
Unfortunately, the staff was not able to answer any question that I asked. I didn’t make it to time, but it also seemed like they started the time when they sat me. Then they on the burner as they placed down the first items. It also took about 10 minutes for the burner to heat sufficiently to eat. So it’s seems like the time allowance would have been about 70 minutes, not 90. They could not or would not answer my question about when the time starts. instead they just told me I can’t take any home, which I already knew.
They did offer refills very frequently, I would say more often than every ten minutes.”

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

I don’t exactly know how you prepare the tofu but it’s definitely some of the best in town! My only constructive criticism would be that that was a lot of food on such a tiny plate. I will be back.”

“We didn't eat here, saved it for their sister restaurant, Pearl (which was amazing, but we're not here to talk about Pearl)
Service was attentive. Bartender knew where to direct our palletes after listening to our preferences. Elegant interior, but casual enough to make you feel comfortable in your day's clothes. Drinks were perfect, even for my alcohol snob friends. (Sorry, buddies....you know who you are, and I know you'll forgive my dig here)
All in all, a great after work spot that we enjoy. I haven't been there late into the night to be able to help readers to know the vibe after 7 or so.”

“Terrible service, brought friends from outside of state and it was embarrassing after telling them what a "great" place. Halibut was over cooked and too much batter. The waitress made a RUDE remark about a server who dropped a plate of food. We were basically ignored. It wasn't even busy, mid-afternoon. SORRY, I still have gift cards to spend because I don't really want to go back. disappointed 😞”

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

They're pretty good here - twice in one week I came unannounced to order 3x (so 6x packs total) taco party packs, and they worked really fast + the tacos were plenty hot even by the time I got to work. Been here just for myself too plenty of times and it's always fine. Decent & fast service, hot food, friendly staff, clean bathrooms, never made me sick. What more can you ask of a Taco Bell?”

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

“Best place for breakfast! Throughout our stay in Anchorage, my husband and I at times needed breakfast to go and also had slower mornings with time to sit and relax. Bema was great for both.
The burritos are very big, perfect for days with a late lunch or to split in half with someone. We tried all of them over time except the Valdez Veggie. Every burrito was very good but our favs were the Cook Inlet Classic and O’Malley Maple. They also have baked goods that looked good but we did not try any.
I had a caramel latte which was very tasty but the special drink, blackberry vanilla iced americano, was fantastic! The staff were all super friendly and helpful and kind.
Overall this cafe serves up good hearty food for good prices. If you’re looking for something better than McDonald’s or food trucks but not restaurant prices then Bema Cafe is for you.”

The presentation and cleanliness are remarkable, and the quality really stands out. In my opinion, this is #1 in Anchorage for breakfast burritos. I highly recommend Pil’s to anyone looking for a delicious, fresh, and satisfying breakfast!”

I also got a tuna melt too… there were the perfect amount of veggies and it wasn’t just a boring tuna sandwich!! everything is so good. I had to say thanks!”

I also recommend the Bokbunja (Korean fruit wine), it’s very good. I definitely recommend dining in for the full experience!”

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

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

“On our visit to Anchorage, we stumbled onto this small restaurant. Boy am I glad we did. The food is amazing. So good, that we went back again the next night, and it would had been a 3d, but we got back to town too late on Sunday. It's worth saying again, Tent City Taphouse is amazing, with amazingly dishes!!! Thank you Svet, you were the best host of all the 6 restaurants we visited. We'll be back!!!”

“Jordan is the absolutely best!!!! I had a six hour wait between my arriving flight and ground transport #alaskastuff I don't want to take away from the ambiance or food quality. But, the shining star here is the service. I was a bit "travel weary" and still had a long wait until transport home. I felt welcome as soon as I sat down. I never felt rushed. Such a calm atmosphere that was much appreciated after a long travel day. Whether you're setting out for adventure or returning from afar, check out 49th State Brewing-Ted Stevens.”

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

“10/10 Indian food is actually SPICY I struggle so hard to find real spicy food in Anchorage so this is a blessing from god to find in a city of bland food, thank you Pho & Indian!”

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

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

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

“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.”

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

Brewery
“Stopped into the new brewery on a Saturday. Nice aposphere in the seating area, with super nice staff and an open view of the brewery area. A little disappointing they only had 4 beers on tap (1 Golden, 1 Smash IPA, 1 fruited tart, and 1 Baltic porter) but they just opened up so will let that slide. The Smash was simple but highlighted the Citra hops nicely with good head retention. The fruited sour was refreshing with pretty good Blueberry and lemon flavor, good balance of tartness with fruit flavor and sweetness. The golden ale was not my favorite but was simple with a malty backbone but I didn't like the mouth feel or overall flavor. I would like to try more beers to determine my full impression of them, but everyone has to start somewere and excited to see this new brewery grow and find their niche in the beer world! 3.5/5 stars”

“I am pleasantly surprised about Goldie's. I have tried so many different coffee shops. They tend to make coffee too sweet or taste too bitter. No in between taste. And I always have miscommunication with them because I'm deaf. When I came to Goldie's, I was surprised to see that the two sweet ladies at Goldie's knew how to sign. Finally! I was able to have clear communication! And their coffee tastes really good! Not too sweet, not too bitter. Just right. I will be going to Goldie's for my regular coffee fix! 6 stars out of 5!”
Wine Bar • $$$
“Such a great spot! This oyster and champagne bar is seriously awesome. The oysters were super fresh and delicious, you can really taste the quality. Champagne was flowing and paired perfectly with everything. Loved the vibe too chill, and stylish. Staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations (especially for someone who just likes to eat oysters but has no idea what to pair with them 😄). And the menu had other tasty treats too not just oysters! Everything we tried was spot-on. Definitely coming back soon. If you’re into oysters, bubbles, or just a good time with great food and drinks, check this place out! 🦪🥂”
“Visited for first time today. Very impressed with the bold but balanced flavor in Doro Alicha with the delicious rice. Decor is appealing and service was good. Vegetarian and gluten free options.”
