“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.“

We were taken care of by not just a good, not a great but my all time best server I have ever had. Her name is Jenna. I want to say that she is my all time best and favorite waitress in my 77 years of being. The food and ambiance were also good. But Jenna was fantastic Thank you Jenna“

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!!!“

“If you find yourself in Fairbanks, Alaska, make sure you stop in at Soapy Smith’s. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt uniquely Alaskan — packed with historical photos, sports memorabilia, fascinating artifacts, and local fanfare that gives the place real character.

One of the highlights of the visit was talking with the owner, Nick Stepovich. He was incredibly welcoming and genuinely excited to share local Fairbanks history and Alaska lore. From stories about his family history — including his grandfather serving as governor of Alaska — to surprising connections with the area we’re from in Oregon, Nick was a wealth of knowledge and made the experience feel personal and memorable.

The food absolutely delivered. The king crab burger came out piping hot and was outstanding, the french fries were perfectly done, and the strawberry rhubarb pie topped the meal off perfectly. Friendly wait staff and a great atmosphere made the whole experience even better.

Great food, great people, and a true Fairbanks experience. How can you go wrong? When visiting Fairbanks, make sure Soapy Smith’s is on your list.“
