31 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!!“

“What a very nice and warm pit-stop halfway up the Dalton highway. Nestled right in-between a small post office and a tire shop, they have a set menu in addition to having a breakfast buffet and a dinner buffet and very reasonable prices. It was like $16 for an all you can eat breakfast with drinks. The staff was super nice and there is a large bathroom on site. Gas can be purchased outside at over a dollar a gallon cheaper than Deadhorse. Plus, the Arctic Visitor Center is almost straight across the road. That is also a nice stop.“

“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!“

“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.“

“smells bad. mean people. 0/5“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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....?“

“Food was not bad and service was good. A little expensive for what you get, but that is likely because they had to raise prices during the egg shortage and never lowered them. The vegetables in the omelet were not chopped small enough, particularly the bell pepper, and were under the eggs, with the cheese on top. Reminds me of omelet rice style more than traditional omelets.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Service was attentive without being intrusive, menu had plenty variety, food was delicous and location on the river delightful.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“I honestly am shocked at the not so awesome reviews...although im not discounteing anyones experience. But I had the vegan cheesesteak and the bread was so authentic. Kinda Chewy and definitely fresh. On the cheesesteak was lettuce tomatoes onion peppers and mushrooms. Was so messy and fun to eat. Grateful to have this as an option.“

“I was a little nervous, because the restaurant was pretty empty for a weekday afternoon. But, we decided to give it a try, and I'm glad we did. The grilled chicken sandwich was great, the fries were good, and the pies were outstanding. Truly, you could just go for the pie. The apple and strawberry rhubarb were both excellent!“

“The food was worth the wait! My bonus son got the ribeye and it was a nice big steak! My cheeseburger was very yummy and fresh! All 5 of us enjoyed our meal! Very good food good people and just a nice place! Thank you Roundup! Sam was our server she was amazing!“

“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.“
