Restaurants in Palmer

“Looking for a reason to visit Palmer? This is it! With creative and delicious dishes that constantly evolve, the restaurant features locally sourced ingredients prepared to highlight their full potential.”

“So DELICIOUS! We have gone twice this week and look forward to sharing this place with friends and family!”

“Sweet Gypsy is a welcome alternative dining space in the Valley. I'm a big fan of all my menu choices so far, except for the disappointing meat calzone. The salads are superb! I usually take home dessert for later, and they don't disappoint. I especially loved their version of carrot cake, but I try something different each time, and they are all great. I live a long way from Palmer, and SG will continue to draw me back. Give it a try.”

“good food and friendly service”

“Birdhouse Sandwich Co. has had my heart for years now — and for good reason. Every bite from this place reminds me why I keep coming back. The food is consistently amazing, made with care, creativity, and flavor that truly hits the spot. Whether it’s a classic sub or a specials on the menu, it’s always fresh, and filling, A big shoutout to Matt, the mastermind behind the magic. He’s the guy who brings the flavor — not just in the food, but in the experience. His dedication to quality and community shows in everything Birdhouse serves, all at a price that makes it easy to keep supporting. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of Palmer’s go to spots. thank you for feeding us well and making every visit feel like a treat! My favorite food items: Tacos, French dip, pastrami, chi-town Italian beef, loaded mash, Mary-J, Cordon Bleu.”

“the new owners are from the double musky and the food is FABULOUS. really some of the best wings that i’ve had in my whole life. ask the server what spice rub to recommended — ours was perfectly seasoned and spicy. we got the burger too and ate it so fast i forgot to take a photo. the atmosphere hasn’t changed barely at all with the new owners tho and that’s important for the locals that frequent here. there’s a full bar, obviously, but they make great mocktails too. you can come in and sit at the bar or there are tables.”

“My favorite to-go place for awesome burgers and onion rings. The people here are so nice and friendly too. Very clean and pretty laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend if you're in the area.”

“Awesome dive bar-esque aesthetic. Food come out in a timely fashion and the hostess was very kind and polite. The bacon hamburger tasted fresh and the fries were crispy and crunchy. My hankering for fast food was satiated and i will be coming back for more!”

“We were passing through town while traveling and spent a rainy day at this lovely spot. The staff were welcoming and invited us to hang out with the art projects we had brought. They also had a variety of projects from single day pieces you could do in a few hours to multiday works. I'm really into basket weaving and basked in the warm creative energy of this space. We enjoyed the hot coffee, ice cream, and free popcorn! Highly recommended even for folks just passing through the area!”

“My husband forgot half of our order when he picked it up. We went back and the entire staff was do incredibly friendly and helpful. My initial shock at their very youthful appearance quickly turned to admiration for their ability to work together as a team. The kids are alright!”

Kid-friendliness: Kid cocoa’s!”

“I love coming here. They have the best coffee and lots of yummy food options. Everyone here is super nice too. I am a teacher and they let me have used grounds for my classroom sensory tub. Seriously the best. I come here on my lunch break whenever I’m having a long day and their coffee always makes me feel better.”

“Gotta love fresh and friendly right near Trunk Rd!”

“If you love a strong Caramel chocolate Frappuccino, THIS is where you need to get it from! It’s not like the expensive place makes(SB.) IT is sooo much better!. SB puts one shot of espresso in a Venti. BrewHaHa puts four! Taste so much better and, it’s cheaper than when I go to SB and ask for three shoots extra of espresso to be added. It’s in Palmer. On the main highway, exit the hospital or Trunk Road exit. Basically stay straight past the hospital as you go through the roundabouts. At the end of Trunk road is a Tesoro. Brew HaHa is in that parking lot. It is so worth it!!!”

“Mad Chad’s is awesome, we pulled in past the time they were supposed to be closed and still hooked us up with a pizza 🙌🏼”

“Been there only a few times on Sundays. But the coffee is Beautifully made. And only after the 1st time going . The coffee girl knew my order and has it down. Witch I love cuz my all week but Sunday, I say it 2 times a week. So for her to see me 1x and no it , I mean you figure 1000s of people are getting coffee. And they still no what you want.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes if you stay in the car”

“We were excited to stop by the bakery after first trying some chocolate chip cookies at a local farmstand. We loved them! The bakery was even better, so many options and the owner was so helpful, friendly, and kind. Can’t wait to try the breads!”

“This is a nice quiet spot to come in off the road and have breakfast. Simple place, only 6 taps, but a good atmosphere to just vibe. Being attached to the Valley Hotel cafe, the full menu is also available.”

“Every time we go to Alaska, we have to stop by Arkose Brewery in Palmer! The beer selection is amazing and you have to enjoy the Mountain views from the patio! Hope their High Ridge Double Red will be back on tap soon! Owner is one of the coolest person we met, definitely stop by and support his brewery! ?”

“I’m on the fence with the Yes or No It’s 50/50 guess it depends on the day like most places… this one is definitely a hit or miss 🫤 Went years ago & ordered a Chinese menu item Really wasn’t impressed was Dry & not much to get excited about so I didn’t go back for more… Until June of this year bought a couple burgers & they were the Bomb… All young High School aged guys working & they did an awesome job holding it all together from the counter to the lobby I WAS IMPRESSED @ how smoothly they worked together 🙂 Great job fellas 🙂 & then last night happened around 7:30pm We decided to go back because our Previous experience was top notch but last night was the complete opposite 🫤 the young guys working did great the older lady working the counter was Stressed… We ordered & waited… Our food came out only to accidentally be served to a couple who came in well after us… they accepted our food & began to eat… the kiddo working realized the mistake after serving us a single meal which ended up being another customers 🫤 to my husband who didn’t realize it straight away that it wasn’t the one he ordered “ he was hungry after 10 hours of work “ as was I who had to sit there another 20 minutes roughly for mine 🫤 We asked for the other burger to be made to go Since we did pay for it… lady was a bit snarky because we asked for it to be made to our original order 🫤 I understand that mistakes happen but was far from impressed with the overall experience. When ya pay $$$ Roughly $33 plus a tip & the experience becomes a Cluster of WTF !?! They did offer a order of fried mushrooms THANX but really our order should’ve been comped or offered a Free meal next round… Something to make up for it All on their end… I remained polite & tried being patient 🙂 which is not easy when your Hungry & watching other people eat your food JS ! All in All it wasn’t a great date night Experience… they Should’ve done better about making it Right… kudos to they kiddo who atleast offered the mushrooms but come on REALLY 🫤🫤🫤”

The coffee isn’t the only thing we look forward to about this coffee shop but the owner and employees are TOP NOTCH! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND 👌🏼❤️ Will forever have a special place in my heart!!!!!”

“I like the feel of de clam chowder in my bum. Nice texture. The toughness of the clam against my skin. Make a men felt good. I put a whole bowl in. Never had a expeerense like it.”
