Restaurants in Soldotna

“Very good shu mai. Tasty salad with a variety of textures. The small eggrolls (length and thickness of my middle finger) tasted more of crunchy wrapper than any interior filling. The chicken satay was overcooked. All sauces were sweet. Cost: $42. We ordered our food to go. The entree plates I saw as I walked through to order and pay looked enormous. The room was attractive and the atmosphere restful. I would try it again and just order a bit differently .”

“Absolutely delicious! 10/10!”

“My mom and I flew in to visit a friend in Soldotna. While in town one day we stopped for lunch at BlackJaxx. While waiting on our order I was reading a paper that had been placed on their window. The paper told that they are family owned and from Oklahoma. I was hoping to try some original ALASKA bbq seeing how we had just flown in from OKLAHOMA 😂 I’m soooo glad we found this place!! I’ve eaten a LOT of Bbq in my life and this is without a doubt the best I ever laid my lips on!! We had the ribs, pulled pork, coleslaw and Bbq beans. The ribs were PERFECTION 🧑‍🍳😘It takes a lot to impress me when it comes to food and BlackJaxx did not disappoint. I will be making orders from their home location once we get back to Oklahoma ourselves. I give them 5+++ stars”

“Delicious food and drinks in a super cute location.”

“Absolutely delicious food! I called to place an order for pick up this weekend, and they were super busy (weekend in July in Soldotna). The lady who took my phone order got everything right and quoted about 30 minutes until it would be ready which I understood (again, super busy weekend evening in Soldotna in July). The food was ready right on time, and was delicious! I ordered the seafood chipotle dinner and it was wonderful! Perfectly cooked halibut chunks, large shrimp, mushrooms, rice and beans, it was all great! The portion size was enough I had enough left for 2 more meals! Definitely stop in for a delicious meal, and don't forget to tip your server!”

“St. Elias Brewing is an absolute must-stop for amazing food, great beer, and an all-around good time. Their pizzas are incredible—perfect crust, awesome toppings, and always packed with flavor. Pair that with their top-tier, in-house brewed beers, and you’ve got one of the best dining experiences on the Peninsula.

The staff is always on point: friendly, fast, and really dialed in, even when the place is slammed. And yes—sometimes there’s a wait, but it’s totally worth it. Between the atmosphere, the food, and the craft brews, you’ll be glad you stayed.

St. Elias Brewing never disappoints. Whether you’re grabbing a pint, a pizza, or both, you’re in for a great experience every time.”

The baristas are friendly, fast, and genuinely caring, and you can feel that good vibe every time you pull up to the window. Their drinks are delicious, consistent, and made with attention to detail—not just thrown together like you’ll find at some drive-thrus.

Whether it’s your daily caffeine stop or a weekend treat, True Blue delivers great drinks and great service every single visit. Quick, tasty, and always welcoming—exactly what a coffee drive-thru should be.”

“Okay, have to be honest here. This is by far, and I cannot believe I am about to say this-- well done team. Starbucks should be proud of this place.

I HIGHLY recommend safeway vs fred meyers starbucks.”
