What’s not to like? You’re in Alaska and then you stumble upon this place. Great ladies running a great establishment.

I’m shocked that this place has as many stars as it does. It has me wondering if all the reviews are written by friends and family versus actual customers.

The food was expensive, tasted like day two cafeteria food that had been sitting out, and the service was poor.

We ordered two of the shrimp omlette which were plasticky and lacked flavor. There was no effort to add seasoning or even whisk the eggs so it was blended) and the shrimp they used was definitely not what they were advertising. These were the smallest shrimp I’ve ever seen; they were no bigger than a fingernail and seemed like they could have been dehydrated or ordered in a can. They weren’t even incorporated into the egg, just lazily thrown in plastic-like shell of egg and like the cheese was lazily sprinkled around.

We also ordered chocolate chip pancakes and strawberry and cream pancakes… you can’t mess this up, right? WRONG. They brought out two plain pancakes then took them back, put some chocolate chips on top on one and legit SPREAD STRAWBERRY JAM (like Smuckers) and put whipped cream on top.

We also got a clam chowder that they said was “homemade,” but tasted like bacon chowder out of a can. No clams. Thick cream. Just no.

We also had a basic egg, toast, and bacon breakfast which was whatever. No flavor or quality to anything.

The total meal cost $77 which would have been fine if we weren’t paying for trash. All of this could have been made at home far better and for far less. We went to Deckhand Dave’s for dinner and it was less than this and a million times more amazing!

On top of it, this place seemed outdated and dungey. I wish I followed my gut reaction to leave upon arrival and review of the menu, but I thought “Hey! Maybe this is a cool local joint.” It just felt like a scam.

I would give this 0 stars if I could.

Food was very basic/classic American diner style. They messed up 3/3 of our orders. Very expensive for what you get too.

It was my first time there and I will be back. I had the Mongolian beef and it was delicious. Some fried rice would’ve been better for me, but I guess that’s a personal preference. The people are absolutely outstanding. Very friendly talkative. I will be back to try something else on their menu.

Great traditional diner food. This place looks like it’s been here for ages; but that means they’ve perfected the food! Quick and friendly service will bring you excellent diner breakfast fare. Don’t miss the home made cinnamon roll!

Went there for lunch today for the first time. Based on the reviews, we were expecting good things. Here is what we experienced:
Restaurant is dingy, worn out looking and not kept up. Sat next to dirty windows with dead bugs in sill.
Food was very poor. I got the burger and fries. All of it looked and tasted like a cheap throw together burger with a preformed patty that was probably frozen to start with, cheap bun, etc.. kind of like you got half the ingredients from a gas station. The fries were very much the crinkle cut fries that come frozen in a bag and deep fried. No seasoning salt, just very plain.
My wife got the “teriyaki chicken” and it was a bowl full of chicken thigh pieces swimming in a not great ocean of sauce. It came with soup that appeared very unappetizing, looked like cat vomit to me. Fishy tasting. All in all I couldn’t wait to leave and regret The whole thing. Don’t do it!

We’ve eaten here two nights in a row. We are from Alabama and this little place is beside our hotel so it’s convenient, BUT the food has been incredible!! It’s just a quaint, peaceful place with incredible food.
