I can't recommend this place anymore. They say they will be open when you talk to them (in person- they also run tbe grocery store), then they aren't. They told me they are having a hard time finding staff this year. Every time I've stayed in Talkeetna they've been closed, even when they told me they planned to be open. They aren't updating their website or voice-mail either. The place is dilapidated and run down as well. Such a shame.

We drove 2 hours to go get the novelty huge burger as we saw on Food Network. We've gotten it 2 times before. It was a great place to take company from out of state. We were so disappointed. They no longer have the same menu or the big burger. Cold reception and the menu is more of a deli menu now. They lost our patronage. There were hardly any people there. I expect they won't be there long.

The food was very good. The Caribou burger was amazing.

Would give 0 stars if allowed. Walked in and waited to be seated. There was a single person at the bar and the bartender. The bartender said are you just gonna stand there. I answered we we waiting to be seated. His response we were supposed to close yesterday but we aren't, we are still open unfortunately and not to thrilled about it. He then stated we have plain burger with cheese that's it , I'll deal with you in a minute. We left after that. We drove a half an hour out the way just to try this place

Upon arrival we were told 45 minute wait to order. We were the only customers!! When hamburgers arrived they were on frozen buns!! The rude guy at the bar refused to heat them saying everything in Alaska was cold and we were lucky the burgers were not cold. A party of eight came in and even though there were no other customers he told them it would be an hour!! Obviously he was not the owner!! Cassandra our waitress was pleasant but things were out of her control!

Ok, so we didn't quite get the allure of why people drive out of their way from the Highway to go to Talkeetna (minimal cool shopping to be done, very few dining options, etc.) but boy were we glad to read about West Rib! We were in just the mood for a juicy burger cooked medium rare just like we love! And fries hot out of the frier to balance out the burger. Perfection! What wasn't such a great part of the vibe was hearing PJ, our host/server, talking to other patrons about how stupid tourists are and acting pretty condescending toward us in all of our interactions. I guess he doesn't like what he does and it shows but we got over it for a good meal to break up our drive from Anchorage to Denali!

Friendly staff, but the food is too under average for what you are paying for. Interior was quite filthy. This was a mistake.
It has been almost 10 years to the day that I'd been here, and I'm happy to say that the food has just gotten better and with the same stellar service, so I am adding one more star. Stopped mid-day and sat on the deck. I ordered Stubbs with coleslaw while another ordered the same with fries. Fries and coleslaw were delicious. Almost perfect. Dang those 1/2# burgers tho! I've had spendier, less tasty, and smaller burgers in Anchorage, and to get this quality here during inflation times? I'll take it, and I'll be back. I do want to try my hand, and stomach, on the Seward's Folly sometime. Maybe in 10 years...

this restaurant has closed. I called to inquire about take out. phone message says open Wednesday to Sunday. I drove to restaurant tonight to order and it looks like a ghost town. Appears to be permanently closed. they should have the curtesy to update phone message to say "out of business"
