“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.“

“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.“

“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 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 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!!!“
