“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.”

We got the reindeer and the Denver burritos which were very filling and tasty with the taco sauce, sour cream, and overall had good flavor with seasoning. We got 2 iced lattes with cookie butter and maple. The coffee had the perfect coffee taste without being too sweet. Highly recommend”

“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!!!”

“I come here as often as I can. The people who work here are cool, easy to chat with. The coffee is very good. The smoothies are excellent, as long as they have fruit. Once they didn't have fruit and I got a smoothie anyways, made with fruit syrup flavoring. It was not good. But they did tell me they were out if fruit. Its a drive up coffee place, there's no where to hang out but if your looking for coffee on the go its my favorite place.”

“Between running kids around, juggling businesses, and trying to keep life moving, having a GREAT local pizza place nearby is basically a survival tool at this point. 😂🍕 This spot has become one of our family favorites! The pizza is always delicious, fresh, and consistently good — and the people there are just as wonderful as the food. You can feel the community vibe the second you walk in. As a local business owner myself, I absolutely love supporting other small businesses that pour so much heart into what they do. So thankful to have such a great neighborhood pizza place right here in our community! 💛”

“I tried this place for the first time at the Alaska state fair. I had the alligator and french fry plate. I was really excited for the alligator because I had only ever sampled it once a few years ago. I was weary of paying $23, but decided to go ahead and spend the money since it was a fun day at the fair. I have to say I was un-pleasantly shocked when I opened up my food container. There was a handful of fries and only 10 alligator nuggets. The alligator was tasty and french fries were crispy.... but for the price vs/ the small amount of food, I wouldn't get it again.”

“What a fantastic change from the mid 2000’s when this place was run by a couple running it into the ground. If you remember the place from when they were there, stop in and see the changes. I turned this place off my radar in 2007 when I gave the two owner couple money to pay an unhappy vendor. I assume they are gone because the place is a great hangout spot.”

“Having one person working behind the counter until 9 AM is preposterous. I came in there and seen the person working behind the counter, doing the job of two people at least, trying to keep up with the line that was for me, he did an excellent job, and it seems to be one of those times when the people that were ordering, had to have a specialty visit Mat and a sandwich and he took care of it all amazingly his name was Cody CODEY he did the job smoothly and was very polite to all the customers. I asked him if he had any help and he said he is not relieved until 9 AM. I am very disappointed with Starbucks, but for that young man, he did an excellent job. he should have been paid double because he is obviously doing at least the work of two people”

“We had the place to ourselves on a weekday evening. The four of us just wanted to grab some dinner and lucked out by finding this place on Google Maps. Waitress was very nice though she was helping at the bar and the other side of the dining room so the pace was a little slower than we expected. All of our food was freshly prepared and tasted great. Bonus: we happened to be there during music bingo night and ended up winning 🏆 a couple rounds. You should give em a visit.”

“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 🫤🫤🫤”

“Cafe' is way too expensive, especially the kids menu, almost priced like they are trying to push people not bringing their kids. Hotels a bit steep for what it is. Parking sidewalk & grass area needs serious trash & cigarette butt cleanup. Patrons & especially employees should NOT stand at the entry or on the sidewalk smoking, it's nasty to walk through their smoke, long hair and clothes are like a filter and instantly picks up the smell.”
