Food was very good, portions large (maybe able to share depending on appetite), service friendly, excellent and overall prompt. Good place to stop on your travels and “pig” out. :-)
We sat in the drive thru for over 20 minutes before someone even came to the window to take our order. After the worker ginally took my order, it took another 20 minites to recieve the food. I was able to watch as one waitress handled everyone's orders during lunch time on a Saturday. It's obvious they need to have more staff during this time to manage the amount of customers. I do not believe it is the waitresses fault, but management for not scheduling their workers appropriately.
Great fast and friendly service gets the 4 stars. 3 stars for the small portion/price, and dry small ribs. Smokey beans ok but the potato salad was really good. The brisket taste good but was honestly closer to a brisket soup. Hoping for better when you spend $20+ for a plate.
We ordered the crispy ribs, cup of chili, bore tide sandwich. This was a huge lunch! First the appetizer, the crispy ribs were fried and topped with a maple soy glaze and green onions. 3 or 4 ribs was delicious and cooked perfectly, the smoke was not overpowering and fall off the bone.We also had a cup of pit master chili. No beans, all meat and cooked fresh daily. These two items is plenty for a lunch. Then the bore tide sandwich showed up. Big sandwich, served with tasty slaw on the side. The bore tide has a plank of bacon on top of the pile of pulled pork. One of the popular picks and with the choices of sauces to go with that make a lunch fit for a king. Or queen. Definitely worth a stop by if you have the time. Plenty to choose from on their menu.
My family is from the south and we have had a hard time finding a place that does bbq the way we like. This place comes pretty close and we usually visit every time we come to anchorage. Usually the service is as good as the food but that quality has gone down a little since covid
Amazing menu…and I LOVE Bar-B-Q!! Great service and…the Bar-B-Q is off-the-charts delish!!!! Generous portions.They have Deep-fried OKRA! “Green Popcorn”They also have Deep-fried dill pickles! They pair wonderfully with a juicy Alaskan Icy Bay IPA.Seriously, this is my new “Go-to” place. They have several sauces to select from! You can get creative and make your favorite, custom blend!
We dropped in here randomly on a Friday afternoon and were warmly greeted, seated and served very quickly. Chili, corn bread, and crispy ribs were phenomenal. The pulled pork sandwich (forget the name right now) was good too. Really nice selection of four homemade bbq sauces to choose from. Highly recommend!
Who would think that you could find some of the best barbecue in North America in Anchorage (or Indian, Ak) ? But you can.We've sampled barbecue all over the Lower 48 and both the Turnagain Arm locations are among our top 5 favorites.Brisket, chicken, or ribs.... all great!Whether the Anchorage or Indian Location... this place rocks!
Come in hungry! We were super impressed with the tender meat, the crispy breaded fried okra and the sweet corn bread! The beans have that nice smoky flavor and the wings...mmmmm!!! We'll be back soon!
Wings were good.St. Louis ribs were tough, had to cut with a knife tough and didnt have much meat.Hot link was goodBrisket looked good but my friends were eating that so I didn't try any.

OMG their BBQ is so tasty! I first tasted the deliciousness at the Indian location, I always crave it coming back from the Kenai peninsula. This time driving back the Indian location was closed so I came to this location, same amazing food!
Great ribs and kid loved the burger. It was worth the cash. Nice staff. Would recommend.
Excellent bbq. Smoked chicken is excellent, ribs are delicious. Try the baked beans and collard greens. Both made there, and both out of this world.
Great wait staff! Amazing food! BBQ is delicious abx if you enjoy coleslaw, this is the spot! Served with NO MAYO and a bit of vinegarette. It is perfection!! Owners are super friendly and inviting! Will definitely be back!!!
Stopped there because it is always packed and reviews were good. Wished we got the food trucks at Girdwood Brewing instead. Service was incredibly slow for a place where the food, bbq, should already be ready. Ribs were recommended but not good. Kid’s chicken strips were likely store bought frozen. I will say the brisket sandwich was decent, but had a lot of fat. Couldn’t try the pulled pork because they were out. Banana pudding was pretty good. Chili was the worst food there. Sweet potato fries were on point though. Overpriced, less than average food.
