30 Best American Restaurants in Fairbanks

“DW grill is by far one of the best places to go in Fairbanks they have a great selection of food. I’ve been once for lunch and once for breakfast and I’ve been incredibly impressed both times. The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere was amazing!!“

“One of our favorite places. Very good food, friendly wait staff . The music sucks though.“

“The food is SO GOOD and we had excellent customer service. Our server was so sweet and checked up on us, making sure we enjoyed the food. We had the shrimp alfredo, cajun wings with fries, and fried rice plate. Our new favorite spot to eat!“

“This was a stop on our trip to the arctic. I am not going to be negative on a review for a restaurant like this one. There are many folks thankful that it is there. It has a lot to offer from a meal to gas and maybe a souvenir. Truckers appreciate the location and a chance for a break from the road.“

“smells bad. mean people. 0/5“

“Great breakfast. Wonderful home fries with onions and green peppers. One of the best waitresses in Fairbanks.“

“Went out tonight for the comedy show great time, great food, great people, service was top tier! Thank you guys for a great night🙏“

“Best grilled chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! And the potato salad is super good too 😁“

“We have been to The Greens a few times and always thrilled with the service, the food, and the atmosphere! Would recommend 100%! That said, last night was the first time we were seated in the overflow room in the back. For a fine dining experience, this space could use a little cosmetic love. There were scuff marks on the wall, wiring conduit falling from the ceiling, and no soft music or anything. A coat of paint, some nice artwork, maybe some candles and soft music, and it would be just as nice as the main dining area. Just our two cents. Still, we will return again and again, love this restaurant.“

“we stopped in for dinner and it was amazing. Great service, cute resturant and the ribeye and prime rib were perfect.“

“If you think you know good nachos, think again. These are next-level. Hands down, the best nachos I’ve ever had!“

“10-15-24: I can no longer list this as one of the top 5 biscuits and gravy places in Fairbanks area. Today's meal was not pleasant. Gravy was good but biscuits were not biscuits, but a cornbread style that was very dry. I was very disappointed.

Best biscuits and gravy in Fairbanks! Great food and great service!“

“Thank you to the staff and patrons of Tony's Sports Bar for the great time last Sunday! We were visiting from Wisconsin and stopped in to cheer on the Packers💚💛We felt very welcomed and received tips to visit the classic car museum which my FIL loved!! Alaska was a bucket list trip for us, but if we ever return, I would love to stop in at Tony's again!!“

“The Bakery Restaurant is not a good place to eat the new owners are not good ppl and the food there is the worst place 😫 to eat the cooks always missing up the orders its always cold the coffee is cold too“

“I can’t say enough about this place. It helped provide entertainment, great food, and great drinks while we waited for our next Alaskan adventure during our week long visit. I have to give a very special shout-out to Denaeuh. If you get a chance, don’t leave Fairbanks without spending time with her at the bar in Pike’s Landing restaurant. She’s a genuine person with outstanding customer service and hospitality. Her drinks, food recommendations, service, and conversation were excellent! If/when we come back, we will seek out this restaurant and service with Denaeuh. Overall… I highly recommend. It’s a great place!“

“Blue Roof is our Saturday spot. Literally, every Saturday because the burgers are the best in town, and the fries are the eighth wonder of the world! YUM.“

“I know I was hungry and tired when I rolled through here, but the service, food and classic atmosphere with those sweet stained glass windows were top notch. Food was perfect. Waitresses were all over it and then some with very kind hospitality. Will 1000% be back next time I'm in town. Thank you.“

“Brewster's for another Win, family visiting from Texas just got off denali train at 8pm went to Brewster with out calling ahead all 8 of us were seated and fed delicious food - they just loved the halibut - Thanks keep up good stuff“

“Cheesesteaks are a good choice. Ordered other food in the past and was just ok. But the cheesesteaks have been consistently good. The ladies working are nice. Service a little slow for the food type but again the ladies were on top of drinks so all was well.“

“the food is always good but heaven forbid you want any salad dressing with your salad.... wife and I have ordered salads several times from them request dressing each time and it never comes... aside from that great place good food and fast service just no dressing with your salads“

“You won't be disappointed and I've had lunch all over town....?“

“I'm am currently stuffing my face with Salty's biscuits and gravy and I cannot say enough great things about this breakfast.
The biscuits are the best I've ever had in my life smothered in an amazing sausage gravy with chunks of sausage. They don't short you on the gravy yet it's not too much to take away from the biscuits.
My order was done quickly and the staff was extremely nice and helpful.
This is my go to breakfast anytime I come to Fairbanks from now on. Get you some!!!“

“Best breakfast I've had in Fairbanks! Huge portions are cooked to order. Big menu full of home style favorites. The best part of my experience was the friendly and attentive wait staff. My coffee cup never went empty. The service was fast. You won't be disappointed. Tell em' Puff and Dre' sent ya!“

“If you find yourself in Fairbanks, Alaska, make sure you stop in at Soapy Smith’s. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt uniquely Alaskan — packed with historical photos, sports memorabilia, fascinating artifacts, and local fanfare that gives the place real character.

One of the highlights of the visit was talking with the owner, Nick Stepovich. He was incredibly welcoming and genuinely excited to share local Fairbanks history and Alaska lore. From stories about his family history — including his grandfather serving as governor of Alaska — to surprising connections with the area we’re from in Oregon, Nick was a wealth of knowledge and made the experience feel personal and memorable.

The food absolutely delivered. The king crab burger came out piping hot and was outstanding, the french fries were perfectly done, and the strawberry rhubarb pie topped the meal off perfectly. Friendly wait staff and a great atmosphere made the whole experience even better.

Great food, great people, and a true Fairbanks experience. How can you go wrong? When visiting Fairbanks, make sure Soapy Smith’s is on your list.“

“Had some of this amazing pizza while at Pioneer Park. It was amazing, best pizza I’ve had in quite a while, with delicious toppings. Good price too! We will be back.“

“5 stars, the food is so good and the drinks are even better. Def a go to when you have the munchies“

“Limited food menu about 8 items to choose from but a diverse selection.
I had the Bison meet loaf and it was fantastic others had the fish and chips all were delicious. Just remember you’re in Fairbanks Alaska so things are pricy but it’s worth it.“

“I was in the bar last night and my order was messed up. (Nachos) As I was walking up to the bar a older gentleman with a longer grey beard and backwards hat (guessing a manager) stepped in and calmed me down and solved my issues quickly and professionally. A+ FOR THAT GUY“

“Food was great, we had cheesesteaks, service was fast and friendly. Only thing I can really complain about is the bartender used Bloody Mary mix instead of tomato juice for the red beer. Snuck a peak in the kitchen and it was cleaner than mine (figure that one out) but we enjoyed our dinner.“

“Great dining experience in Fairbanks. I loved the prime rib and felt it was some of the best in town. The fish and chips were amazing. Glad it is a regular restaurant now where you don’t feel you need to stuff yourself to get your money’s worth.“
