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.”

“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.”

“The food was so good. Cod, burgers, BLT were all amazing. Wait staff was awesome, super friendly and kept up with a constant service.”

“Great food, great beer, large portions, so very tasty. How have we not been here before. What a gem.”

“Delicious! Wonderful customer service and the burgers are huge!”

“The peach tea was super good. The indoor seating area had a lot of cool decor to look at and the outdoor seating area was beautiful.”

“My fiance has taken me to every single asain restaurant. I have never had a meal so delicious. I couldn't get enough. The portion sizes were perfect. Not so huge you couldn't finish it, but big enough for you to be full. I'm not a red meat fan, but anemia needed it. I got the beef and broccoli, I can't stop thinking about how much I enjoyed eating that beef dish. The atmosphere is so homey. Like, visiting with grandma and a view. The staff was so nice. I can't say enough good things about this place. It's the only place I'm going for Asian food from now on. I highly recommend this gem.”

“If you could hear me shouting from the mountains, I'd tell you go to The Fern AK! My favorite place, always!”

“We had a fantastic lunch here. Burgers and onion rings were both delicious. Alaskan craft beers were reasonably priced with a good selection. Chris was our server and he took great care of us. The churros are delicious, filled with cream cheese and served with a berry compote and whipped cream.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“My friend and I went to a mosaic class with Kim and it was so so much fun!! Everything you could possibly need for maximum creativity. Kim was very informative and we had the best afternoon joking and laughing while trying a new art medí. We will for sure be back!!”

“I just went here for the first time today and had their Buddha bowl with avocado and oh my goodness was it delicious!! 10/10 recommend!”

“Always tastes exactly like we expect and are used to. Mad Chad's is great every single time. They called to make sure we know they're working on the order when it took a while to go through. Worth it! Will order again and again.”

“Best baristas in the area and the breakfast burritos are always great.”

“It was really nice to have a great kombucha option at the Farmland Forever Fest!”

“Sue here, Front gate Salmonfest ... Thank you for the sample of Outhouse blend ... This coffee snob loved the chocolately undertones ... Had it 1st day home, yummy ... Thank you”

“We ordered biscuits and gravy as well as the Mexi burrito. Wonderful staff and they knew what they were selling! Biscuit and gravy was seasoned well and husband enjoyed it! The burrito was recommended by the staff, beans was cooked perfectly and lots of flavor!”

“My go to coffee shop in the mornings.”

“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!!!”

“Best wings in the valley!”

“Real food served by real nice people. 10/10”

“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!”

“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.”

“I love this place! I usually get their coffee or something they have on their specials sheet. This time I got the peanut butter bar (same ones they have at Vagabond blues) and their special ‘Pom Splash’. Yum!
FYI they cannot do “tap” pay.”

“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.”

“My #1 favorite burger joint!!
My picky wife actually agrees with me.
Good French fries. Fast enough, easy in and out. Staff has been friendly. We will continue to go there.”

“A trip to Seward wouldnt be complete without a treat from Original Gourmet Ice Cream. Thank you Pat Perry and your team!”

“Best Philly sandwiches east of the Yukon River !!”

“Food was good and staff was amazing. He was very helpful and suggested us. He was also accommodating when we asked for smaller portion for baby. Overall it’s great place if you are in Palmer. The food can be customized in spice level to great extent and even traditional dishes can be modified to our liking and he suggested too. It was nice experience.”

“The coffee is always delicious!”

“Fresh Sushi has some of the most flavorful sushi hands down. The sushi is always fresh just like its name. The customer service their is excellent. They always greet me with a smile. I would go eat sushi their when ever I'm in town. Thanks for serving great sushi.”

“I've been going there every morning for over a year now. Love the coffee and the girls are ALWAYS super friendly. Just talking with them makes my day much better.”

“Always friendly service and great coffee, Frappuccinos, Italian sodas etc. I have enjoyed every visit! ❤️ ☕️”

“Beer garden, fire pit, pool tables, darts, Live music every weekend, karaoke Tuesdays, and locals artists jamming out Wednesday nights! Fun locals and great bartenders!”

“Love this bar! Great regulars, amazing owners. Fun bubbly bartenders, CHEAP (AND I MEAN CHEAP!!) drinks! So many games and never ever a dull moment at The MooseHead saloon!”

“Just got done eating here ! we took a camping road trip from Delta Junction and came in HUNGRY! everything was absolutely delicious. The kids had the cutest Mickey Mouse pancakes , I had the vegetarian omelet (which was phenomenal!) , and the hubby had their chicken fried steak and their giant cinnamon roll. everything was beyond expectations. We will definitely be coming back for our next trip down here 😁😁”

“We had a nice meal here. Lots of menu choices and we were ok with the pay first and wait for the food to come to you service. I had the chicken salad warp and was disappointed - it had limited chicken salad and a lot of lettuce. It tasted good but it was a lot of lettuce and tortilla. My wife ordered a ham and cheese sandwich and they asked if she wanted chips or salad. She thought they were included and said salad, but that cost extra which she did not realize until she paid. That seemed odd to us. The place has a nice local vibe but it was not a 5 for us.

“We call Hatcher Pass Pizza “Pizza in a pinch”. I have never had them deliver as I live close by. The pizza usually has the proper amount of sauce, most places serve a dry pizza. This is a huge plus! The crust is bland but if you pay the extra you can get seasoning sprinkled on. I consider this a requirement. You can sure expect to find the toppings blobbed on and not distributed across the whole pizza. They also have a problem tracking their pizza’s sold to pizza’s paid for. Be prepared to PROVE you bought a pizza and didn’t get it. This happens if you use their website to pay for a pizza only to find they are not even open! Over all they are acceptable, but there are better places.”

“The ambiance and the beer were a big win for me, but the food was a bit disappointing. My wife’s burger was good albeit a bit heavy on bread and light on beef, but the Nachos were really heavy on chips and light on cheese/beans/salsa. The cheese was so cold it was hard when it was served. Our server however was really nice and helpful with giving local information on hike for us. If it was not for the server and the beer, I would have gives this a 4, which is not bad, just not excellent.

“Stopped here on the way home from up north. I really liked the atmosphere and the service was phenomenal!! The ladies who waited on us were so kind and polite. We appreciate you ❤️ I’d definitely stop in again when in town.”

“Take out only, friendly staff, they deliver or you can doordash or Uber eats , although it's cheaper to have them deliver. All local Palmer people work here, so make sure to tip well.”

“HANDS DOWN Our absolute FAVORITE coffee shop EVER. We currently live in rainier but drive all the way to Fresh start every morning for coffee and its well worth the drive. 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.”

“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 🫤🫤🫤”

“What an amazingly delicious sub, Greek salad and pizza- so glad there’s leftovers so I can enjoy it again :) highly recommend”

“Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food !!”

“staff is always friendly.”

“Visiting from Fairbanks and this was a gem. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious! Enjoyed the banter with our server and the jalapeno margaritas were delicious! The cook was great! Appreciated this at the end of a long day from being outside. If I am back in town from Fairbanks will be stopping here again!”

“Food was good. The woman who was waitressing the morning I went in was not very friendly and must not like her job at all. Not friendly at all and in this type of job you need to be friendly or have a friendly attitude at least.”
