About Monderosa Bar and Grill

Monderosa Bar and Grill is a restaurant known for its delicious food, particularly the burgers which are said to be worth the wait. The halibut sandwich, mozzarella sticks, and "spuds" appetizer are also popular choices. Prices are reasonable, with can sodas available for $2 and a total cost of around $45 for two jalapeno jack burgers and a tip. The restaurant has a rustic, authentic atmosphere with a large bar, a snooker table, and a jukebox. Located on the way from Fairbanks to Denali NP, it is a good spot for a meal stop. While service can be slow with only one cook and server during busy hours, the food is generally praised for its taste. Recent reviews mention that the place is a dive bar that only accepts cash, with great portion sizes and delicious burgers, including the monster burger and jalapeno jack burger. The staff, often a young woman, provides good service, and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. Many visitors stop here regularly on their way to or from Denali, enjoying the coated fries, ice-cold Pepsi products, and the full bar. The restaurant is especially appreciated for its long-standing family tradition of serving tasty food in a cool, laid-back setting.
