“Super cute place. I had the Union Chez Burger with fries. The fried leeks on the burger were a great touch. The reviews are right, get the ketchup and the ranch! There were so many delicious looking desserts that it was hard to choose. We ended up going with the strawberry cream cheese roll. It was angel food cake rolled up with cream cheese and strawberries and topped with either turbinado or cane sugar. So good! The food came up very fast after placing our order.“

“What a gem! We were so excited to go back to Fairbanks and see the northern lights but a close second was going to mom’s again. We went three times during our 5 day stay this time and it never disappoints. All of the Asian selections are amazing, as are the burgers. I love the jalapeño poppers too, best I have ever had. It is inside a little sports bar but don’t let that fool you. This is some of the best food you will have, in any city. By the way mom’s staff… you should really consider selling that homemade soy sauce. Sooooooo amazing. God bless you guys and thank you.“

“Perfect stop for us as we transitioned from traveling to the start of our stay in Fairbanks.I had a French dip sandwich with a really good green salad. I regretted not ordering a bigger salad and just skipping the heavy sandwich. My husband had a burger and very average fries (frozen, not fresh potatoes). The burger was good and hefty.The service was fine--it wasn't busy, and our food came out quickly.The atmosphere was average bar interior design--nothing stood out as exceptional or as glaring. I doubt we will return when in the area but our lunch was pleasant.“

“Wow. This restaurant is amazing. Such delicious food, each meal incredible with layers of flavor and thoughtfulness. The chef cooks with so much love and it shows. He truly has a gift with soup, and for making the Alaskan ingredients stars on each plate. We stayed at Borealis Basecamp for three nights and the food at Latitude 65 was an absolute highlight. Scallops with candied mustard seeds and pickled grapes, Alaskan halibut with a morel cream sauces from mushrooms the chef harvested himself, short ribs wow, and a really really good burger. Every dish we had was so special. And all with a spectacular view and wonderful service. Really grateful I got the chance to enjoy this.“

“Salty is one of the most well-known dinner spots in Fairbanks, Alaska, and after trying their breakfast, it's easy to see why!The chicken waffles were a highlight – fluffy waffles perfectly paired with crispy chicken strips. A delightful combination! And of course there are many more dishes which are recommended on the menu you can try on.The coffee served here is exceptional – honestly, some of the best we've had during our time dining out in Alaska. A real treat for coffee lovers!In terms of service, it wasn't too bad. It may just be reflective of the local culture, maybe a little smile and a little more warm and welcoming will be awesome, especially on morning. But overall, it contributed to a pleasant breakfast experience.If you're in Fairbanks and craving a delicious breakfast, Salty is definitely worth a visit! ?☕“

“This review is purely on the Bar/Lounge side, not the restaurant side. Visited on a Saturday evening, most visitors I would assume are hotel guests most of whom are labor hands driving to/from the north, so that gives you an idea of the crowd. This is probably the better lounges in town, open and plenty of seating. The bar is tiny but packs a punch. It may not have have a big barside but they can make just about any cocktail you want... thus, no physical menu. That's may bit annoying for someone who isn't a usual drinker and needs a list to choose from. Also, had no clue how they charge for drinks. Food was surprisingly good, not sure why I had low expectations. The food came out at a reasonable rate. We had pulled pork nachos, foccacia bread and calamari. All were great. Service was relatively good. We weren't waited on very much, I'm guessing just typical evening traffic and chaos, but the ladies who did serve were very friendly and nice.Get the peanut butter pie. You won't regret it.“

“During my visit, I had the privilege of witnessing an extraordinary act of kindness that restored my faith in humanity. As I enjoyed my meal, a stranger approached our table and informed us that our entire bill had been paid for by a generous individual who wished to remain anonymous. This random act of kindness not only left me speechless but also reminded me of the inherent goodness that exists in the world.As I left the restaurant with a full stomach and a heart overflowing with gratitude, I couldn't help but reflect on the power of simple acts of kindness to brighten someone's day. In a world that can often feel cold and indifferent, this breakfast spot serves as a shining example of the warmth and compassion that still exists within our communities. Whether you're craving a delicious meal or a dose of positivity, a visit to this restaurant is sure to leave you feeling nourished in more ways than one.“
