“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.“

“We ate here for lunch and were totally stunned by the place.

Yes, it is located IN THE BACK of a DIVE BAR.

However, the service and food stand out from typical dive bar fare.

The waiter was a shy but fun young man - I think he was probably Mom's son. Mom came out and brought us our food, but didn't speak much English and very cutely 'figured out' who's food belonged to which person. It was adorable and entertaining!

Our food was delicious and the service was impeccable.“

“The food is great. Our waitress was sweet. Waiting for our food, was nearly an hour. BOTH bartenders completely ignored me, much less, served me. We are locals, that make it in several times a year. The service has gotten progressively slower, and waitstaff seem disorganized. We love this place, and we realize, it's for sale. Hmm. First thing I would do? DITCH the DOORDASH BS, and concentrate on SERVING the customers who actually drive out.“

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

“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!“

“The dining experience here is pretty consistent. On occasion the food is a miss but 90% of the time it is worth the money. The staff is usually friendly and pleasant. I do not recall ever having a bad serving experience, though at times service has been slow due to volume.

In my opinion, Food Factory is a solid option to dine-in for a relaxed meal. It is almost sports bar-ish with the large TVs, but no bar. It has that relaxed vibe.“

“Can't comment on the food but Alexandra the bartender absolutely made the last night of our hard earned vacation worth it. It was undoubtedly busy, but she was hustling with CVS receipt long tickets, handling the bar and two restaurants by her self. To the management, you needs a barback. Several tables were upset with service but as far as I could tell it was a staffing issue, not the employees themselves. Thank you for a fine farewell from Alaska!“
