“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.“

“If you want food to go and don't want to pay a $6 cover charge to the bar. You have to go through the side door. This takes you to the back of the kitchen. I've seen many kitchens. Some clean some not so clean.This was right in the middle. But dirty kitchens is where some of the best food comes from. Food was very good.I just wish I didn't see where it came from.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I dont eat iut often, maybe 1-2 every other month. This was my first time eating here and hopefully this was an off day for the cooks. I ordered cheese curds as an appetizer, and a cheesesteak with fries as my meal. Both the cheese curds and fries were extremely greasy, and had no seasoning at all. They were both hot and fresh, I just think they tried to stretch the life of their oil. Both the sandwich and the service was great. I'll try it again sometime in the future.“

“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!“

“We've been eating here as a family of 5 for years. I have never taken the time to write a review but wanted to after last nights service. We've had great service first off all the time and the manager of The Banks has gone above and beyond for us a few times. We are vegan so it's always nice to find a place in town that has options for us. Last night's server in the bar was the most authentic , kind and funny gentlemen we've ever had. He interacted with our children as if they were adults, quick, efficient. It's always great having respect go both ways when it comes to service and the Banks has just that. The drinks also always are on point!“
