A must stop when in downtown Fairbanks. We were lucky enough to wander into it. The owner was in as well and was super enthusiastic about people stopping in and he loved telling about the business and his family history in Alaska. I had the spicy reindeer sausage with fries, pricey but good!

A great little, locally owned, pub type place. They did seem a little short staffed, but that didn't hurt our service any. The owner took time to talk to us, and tell us his story. The food was delicious.

Fun atmosphere with many cool artifacts on the wall. The owner is present and passionate. Great canned local beer selections. Had their infamous king crab burger and the clam chowder. As someone who's finicky about crab cakes, it's just OK (and given the price of king crab, I can understand why). The chowder has a yummy base, but I wish there were more clams in it. All that said, it's a fun place to go.

Walked by today and the Owner was outside in the street yelling at people not to patronize the other restaurants in town,but to come in his place instead. Hollered at one group not to go eat BBQ ,but come there instead. One of his Kitchen Boys I'm assuming was outside walking up to people trying to drum up business,while Bad Mouthing the other Restaurants trying to make a living. Said the Tour Company People send the customers to places they get kickbacks and free meals from,all while pooping on the little man like him. The whole thing seemed shameful, disgraceful and without class of ANY kind. If you want more business, improve your food! The photos don't look good,or appealing, like something special that would bring me in! However, you're questionable business practices,and shady ethics, would probably keep me away anyway!

Wonderful man outside Soapys to get us inside the restaurant. ?? We sat down at a table suitable for our 86 year old F member and Short haired lady didn’t want us there so we just left. Won’t get our tourist dollars for Food & Booze! ?

This place is a gem! Nick welcomes us to his " livingroom" and pointed out his parents and grandparents , and kept the banter going. The food was good, i had the crab burger, very good. Would recommend, so different than any chain place, plenty of pictures and family news articles on the walls

While the servers were so attentive and kind, the owner was obnoxious and pushy trying to lure people in. Could barely eat my burger, felt like it was something that I ordered at a ballpark or fair, not a restaurant. Also, didn’t feel the cleanest. I hesitated giving this review, but I want to help others. I wished I would’ve gone anywhere else in downtown Fairbanks.
Food was OK, what sparing portion was served. I ordered a Cobb salad and it barely filled up the plate. There was a sprinkle of bacon and cheese as well as four thin slices (mostly brown) of avocado. Service was eh and the place was chilly. Can't say it's worth the price or food was great enough to warrant a return visit. Sad, too because I was looking forward to a great salad for lunch.

Neat little place with a lot of personality! Make sure to have a piece of pie.
