Reminds me how restaurants were back in the day in the lower 48's but no more got to go to AK to find them worth the trip

Excellent food, everything is made from scratch, friendly staff, a bit slow and the place could use a good dusting, the kitchen is very clean I always look.

If you're looking for a hidden gem in the heart of Big Lake, Alaska, look no further than Big Lake Family Diner! Their Mexican pizza is an absolute must-try, bursting with flavor and topped with fresh ingredients. The handmade flour tortillas are a delightful addition that truly elevate the dining experience.

Breakfast is always spot on, cooked to perfection every time, and they offer several unique options you won’t find anywhere else nearby. The diner has a cozy, homey feel, embodying that classic small-town charm you’d expect from a family diner.

While it may not be a Michelin-star restaurant, the prices are unbeatable—likely the lowest within a 50-mile radius—without compromising on quality. The decor is filled with charming antiques, providing a lovely glimpse into the past as you enjoy your meal.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Big Lake Family Diner is a must-visit for delicious food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere!

Waitress was top notch. She strove to make our dining experience the best she could. Burgers were great, fries were DELICIOUS, and the house made ranch dressing was absolutely perfect.
It had been a while since we visited.
It definitely won't be long before we return.
Back to being our favorite nearby dining in choice as a family.
