Restaurants near Trapper Creek

“Stopped here for a cuppa coffee and tea. On our way back to my brothers house. I ended up getting the blueberry cold tea, which was exceptionally good to my surprise. My wife had a cup of coffee, which she enjoyed standard. Definitely would go back. The views were exceptional.”

“Good food, attentive service, and beautiful view in the back, made it worth dining at North fork. 2 other restaurants at Princess lodge are first come, first serve, North Fork is reservation only- that is convenient, don't have to fight the crowds. It is little more expensive compared to other two restaurants, however, it is well worth it. Both nights we dined at North Fork and enjoyed. Blueberry salad, Salmon bite, salmon chowder, blueberry glazed king salmon all were very good. Whipped feta appetizer was exceptional!”

“Nice bar restaurant on site at the lodge.

You can sit at the bar and eat without a reservation. They actually don’t take reservations.

Julie, our bartender was amazing.

Drinks and food were good”

“After a horrible customer service experience at the neighboring North Fork restaurant we moved our party of 10 here. The service was exceptional. North Fork should learn from them.... it's about making the customer happy. The food was good but both our waiter and the manager was excellent.”

“So glad we found them! Had our first salmon burger and loved it! The girls working were delightful and gave us great service even though it was closing time!”

“My family was visiting Talkeenta and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast here on our last day. Spinach bread, Blueberry Rhubarb Crisp, Breakfast burritos, Brazilian Limeade, and coffee. The food was amazing and my husband said it was the best cup of coffee he had had in forever. I wish we would have gotten some of the spinach bread take and bake for the road! I couldn’t recommend this place enough!!”

“The food is great, bar food so what you pay is what you get but the selection is quite fun! They usually have a decent selection of beer, and beer on tap. Staff is efficient and kind! In the winter this is one of the few local food joints, with regular hours. Kid friendly!”

“Cute atmosphere, good pizza”

“Cute little place with a very peaceful vibe. Best for vegetarians because they only have everything vegetarian! Their crepe was amazing and smoothie was really yum too! Must visit if you are looking for quick healthy breakfast!”

“An absolutely amazing place to stay. Everyone is so friendly and the rooms are so comfy. Feels like you are home. Really hope we make it back here again soon.”

“❤️all the live music we get here;) and there was that dance party, so much fun!”

“They family was so nice! We loved eating at Annie’s kitchen next to the tent and enjoyed the waffle hot dogs & pulled pork sandwiches with ice cream! Family owned business and we love the ornaments we bought hand made from local birch wood tree bark! These were $25 & $35 on the pricey side but handmade and local.”

“Amazing beer and service! Incredible ambiance! Don’t miss out!”

“We had a wonderful breakfast this morning. A delicious plate and great wait staff. We highly recommend.”

“Good food and good service. Lots of Alaska food options. Yes, there's seafood. Fresh halibut and salmon. Exactly what we need med after exploring the river with Mahay Jet Boats.”

“Shirley's homemade ice cream is the best I ever tasted. It is soft serve and so creamy. I especially like the Fireweed flavor. I wish she open a branch here in Pennsylvania or a delivery service.”

“Agree with others that are puzzled by the low reviews. Maybe there was a recent menu/staff change that improved things.

Anyway, very good food. HUGE portions. It's expensive because they kind of have to trapped there at the lodge. No real choices nearby to go to. So, they got ya. But, the plates are enormous. Most people could easily split an entre.

Service was very friendly. Seemed like maybe they were training new staff (seasonal, I'm sure, and we were there early May 2026), so things were a little slow. But, the food was delicious, lots of choices, and drink options were also numerous.

If you get seated near the windows, you have a breathtaking view of Mt. McKinley, assuming the clouds allow you to see it.”

“Come hungry and enjoy the view! The Foraker features a selection three course dinners at $82 (June 2026). The upscale menu items may not fit everyone's tastes. The bisque and brussel sprout salad didn't hit the spot. Steak and salmon were cooked to perfection. Dessert was delicious!”
