Where to eat in Alaska
Okay, I'm compiling a list of places that I like and recommend to people. You may not see a place on the list. This either means I wouldn't put it on my list of recommendations, or I haven't tried it. If you have a question about a particular restaurant here in town, just ask in the comments. I will try to get back to you quickly. I haven't finished the list of descriptions, but will work on it as I have time. I will then endeavor to add links to the websites or something similar to help you find these places.
ANCHORAGE
Downtown
Alaska Cake Studio - Cake and coffee yum. Good location for while walking around.
Simon and Seaforts - Good menu, but try out the bar for quick service and the drink specials.
Orso - Brewhouse's sister. Okay mix, not as busy as Brewhouse, Still need reservations on weekends. Food is good. Nice wine list
Glacier Brewhouse - Make a reservation. Seriously. Good food, noisy. Popular year round with locals and tourists
Humpy's - This place can get busy. Popular with locals. Has healthy options for food. Excellent beer list.
Snow City Cafe - Make a reservation if they are still taking them. This place gets super packed and is a tourist hot spot. It's a place locals like but some stay away from during the tourist season to stay out of the crowd. Breakfast and lunch only. Great coffee, great food, slow service.
Lucky Wishbone - Local dive, old building, fried chicken
Sack's Cafe - Yummy food, reservations on weekends usually needed, can eat at small bar. Great wine list. Good brunch, menu changes
F Street Station - Popular bar and place for lunch. Can get dinner too, but hard to get around crowd. Place gets packed to standing room only on weekends.
Crush - Beautiful wine list, nice dinner specials and small plate options, meat and cheese plates are high priced, but with good selection, no reservations and can get busy. Small tables and bar with SMALL outside tables during summer months. When packed outside, go in. Usually very open during summer.
Marx Brothers - $$$$$ This place is expensive, but really good food. Special occasion place with limited menu, not good for vegetarians. Excellent to do the ceasar salad course with some friends - be prepared for a lot of drinking.
Benihana - Not as good as Kobe (Midtown) but in a fairly good location. Good place for sushi and teppanyaki
Dami - It's okay but nothing special. My friends like it and I might go there for them.
Yamaya - Japanese owned. SMALL place that is a local gem. Almost everyone that goes here is a local regular. They also get a lot of people from the airlines. Food is SO good and nice to have authentic Japanese food. Run by old couple with grandaughter serving sometimes. Service can be slow, but well worth a visit.
Fat Ptarmigan- New pizza place that opened up, so right now it's a hot spot. Cool vibe and worth a visit
Fletchers - Inside the Captain Cook hotel. Very masculine place. Good food, prices moderate high. Okay wines, but expect fingerprints on glassses.
Whales Tale - Inside the Captain Cook hotel. Serve yourself wine with the machines and a card you put money on. You can get other drinks and the food is pretty good. This is the place I find my favorite cheese plate.
Crow's Nest -Inside the Captain Cook hotel at the top. Very pricey with a dress code. Popular with the well to dos and those that want to act like it. Good food and nice service. nice choice for special occasion
Kumagoro - Japanese owned last time I checked. Excellent sushi and Japanese food. Love the bento here. Odd that they add gratuity to each item.
Flat Top Pizza - Also a new pizza place and can play pool there as well. Friends like this place.
Mike's Reindeer dog stand - This is one of the stands along 4th Avenue. You will know which one this is because of the long line and it's in front of city hall. Pia's is usually across the street. Word to the wise...Do not be on your phone when you reach the front, he will kick you out of line. Locals swear by him, but I think it's gone to their heads. My last visit I ordered and paid the person standing next to the guy cooking. I waited and waited. Apparently mine was the one on the table that got plopped down and I was to assume while the person who took the money stared blankly into space. Worth a go to say you had, but there are so many stands that you need not waste your time.
Sullivan's - Restaurant has good food. It's on the pricey side and the very recent renovation really opened it up in here. The bar area is nice and bright and heavy pour drinks. Great bar menu too makes this area a great place to stop off. Evenings only.
Ginger - This is a great Asian American place to go. Moderate pricing and modern decor, large bar on one side. I really like the menu, but they need to freshen it up with some changes. Great fries and chicken lettuce wraps.
MIDTOWN
Mooses Tooth - This is the pizza place. This is also very popular with locals and tourists alike. All of my visitors and family ask to go here. They make awesome beers and have a short wine list. Also homemade root beer. Don't try asking for a bud. The pizza is tasty and so are the salads. Parking is the big issue here. They have a good size lot, but it's slim pickings due to the busyness of it. Expect a wait and have a beer while you do it.
Jens - This is a nice upscale European menu place. Great food high money. Closed Sunday and Monday. This is a great place at night because they close the restaurant and leave open the bar area. Loud music and appetizers after 9 or 10. The crowd is usually in the 30 on up. Beautiful wine list. Sadly Jens died, but the restaurant continues. I wish you all could have met him.
Serranos - Great inexpensive place to go. A kind of mix between fast food and diner. Food is great though.
Middle Way Cafe - Very popular with the locals. Hip fresh vibe and a wide audience. Good amount of choices for vegetarian. Breakfast is better than lunch. Coffee is excellent. Fresh made juices and smoothies too. If you are eating in on a weekend, try to get here before 10. After that, good luck on getting a table.
Spenard Road House - Refurb'd restaurant. Very fun hip place. Has became busy, but the food is worth it. Also an excellent place to go for lunch dinner and drinks. Parking can be a hassle.
Sweet Basil Cafe - This place moved from downtown to mid town and they stopped being open for breakfast. Lunch is however very good. This place has delicious sandwiches and soups, and you can pick up an enormous cookie. My mother and husband always love to go to this place and leave full. Only downside is that you practically need to beg for a refill on your coffee.
City Diner - Old time looking diner. Very diner. The food is what it is supposed to be, but the portions are large and the service is friendly. Worth a go to if you just need breakfast without the rest of the hoopla. Lots of parking.
Tommy's Burger Stop - VERY small place tucked away on northern lights. But its good. There are only a couple tables inside but outdoor seating is available for summer months. Or you can just take out. Chicken philly is tasty. All side items are separate orders. Prices are good. This is not a place that tourists are usually found.
Kinley's - This restaurant is next to Mooses Tooth and offers a lovely menu at $$ prices. Food is super good, and a good wine list. An excellent place to go for special occasions or for a girls night. Service can be good or bad.
Organic Oasis - This place is a regulars spot with fairly plain decor. The food is like it sounds from the name. Great veggie options, and also options for high protein and smoothies/juices. This place can offer live music and beer and wine too. I enjoy this spot, but its like yanking my friends teeth out sometimes to get them here. Love the spirulina tarragon salad dressing and the soup options.
VIP - This is probably the best Korean restaurant that we have in town. No, it's not fancy, but so tasty. There are english menus, so you shouldn't have a problem as long as you read. Very popular with asian locals.
Home Town Korean - This is another Korean restaurant, which is located by the City Diner. This one almost didn't make the list, but I decided to go ahead. The food is very tasty, and the place is clean. The problem I have with this place is that I order a spicy Korean dish (twice), and I acknowledge how spicy it is, and they still order it not spicy for me because I'm white. I only say this, because they admitted it to me. I gave them a second chance, but they still did it. I would go here again, but not with my sights set on yummy SPICY Korean food.
Naruto - Somewhat a newer place, this place has the niche market for ramen. It's really good ramen too. Very worth a visit. This place had a slow start but is now getting a locals following. The downside to this place is getting in and out of it. It's on one side of the Minnesota, so you have to work with it and the neighborhood behind it.
Cafe Amseterdam - Very good food located in the Metro Mall. Homemade salad dressings and beautiful hollandaise sauce. Very popular with locals, and can be hard to get into for brunch. Stays open for dinner and has a nice little pub area, great beer selection and good wine selection.
Steam Dot - Located in the Sears mall. This is by far my favorite coffee in Anchorage. I usually go to the south side location. You can get small tidbits here, but I had to put it on for the coffee.
BurgerFi - Also in the Sears mall. This is not a bad option if you need a burger. A bit pricey but quality ingredients.
Charlie's Bakery - Do you like Chinese food? No. Real Chinese food. This is as close as you're going to get intown Alaska. It is a bakery too, but very popular for the food and serves dim sum on Saturdays. Worth even stopping by for a pork bun on the go.
Taco King - Not my usual type of place, but tasty. Do not expect any diet food here. Nice little salsa bar, and a lot of people swear by this place. Multiple locations and delivery. Excellent prices. I like to stop by for a horchata.
Pho Lena - This place has gotten a quick following in town. A lot of business people from downtown like to come here for a bowl of pho. Worth the visit to this super little place.
SOUTHSIDE
Seward's Folly - Great service. Other than that, food is so-so, but there are slim picking on the south side, so here it is.
Southside Bistro - One of my favorite south side places. Lovely wines, good food. Nice for a date or to sit in the bar for a glass of wine.
Long Branch Saloon - Okay, you have to get over eating in a bar for this one, but it's really not bad. Prices are good, and it didn't get terribly busy while I was there. Only tried the cheeseburger.
Suite 100 - Very popular place at Dimond and Old Seward. Larger than it looks from the outside. Good drink selection and food is so so. It can get crowded here, so I suggest a reservation. Your wait could otherwise be quite long. There are a couple of tables that they shoved in there which can be very cramped. Trust me, if it looks it, it is. Just ask for another table. It's worth the little bit of an extra wait.
Perfect Cup - This place is located in the Dimond Mall on the 2nd floor. This is the only place I know of that serves iced earl gray tea. Divine. The sandwiches are good with a nice portion. Can get busy, but a local gem.
Southside Grill - This is a diner a bit further south side than a lot of people go. So, it's locals. Nothing fancy here, and you either like it or you don't. It's not one of my fav's but some friends do, so I went ahead.
I Luv Sushi - I loved this place since they opened. Great sushi and Japanese fusion, but the prices can get steep. But then, all of the sushi places seem to be increasing their prices.
Terra Bella - Cute little coffee shop on Dimond next to Bed Bath and Beyond. Super great coffee and some good food options. This place is a great place to hang out with your book or a girls lunch.
Steam Dot - Love this coffee. Great options, Small tidbits to eat. Down side to this location is the parking. During summer, the Saturday market is across the way and can make this place get packed. There's also Firetap and the Pilates studio there, so parking can be a hassle.
Firetap - Good to get a drink at. Food could be a lot better. Service so so.
Lahn Pad Thai - Great Thai food. My husbands favorite. Small place, so seats are limited. Can get busy. Service leaves something to be desired, and if you ask for it hot, it's not really thai hot, but still pretty spicy.
Taste of Thai - Nice Thai food place that is worth a visit. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Service is good here, and the specials worth checking out.
Bradley House - Locals place with okay food and a large bar. Service is so so but friendly. This place gets super busy and is a locals spot. Strange array of people. Almost a white trash meets Bentley.
GIRDWOOD
There are not that many places to eat in Girdwood, but you can at least eat well. I have not eaten at the Prince hotel, but I have gone for a couple of drinks and it was quite lovely.
Chair 5 - this place used to be a lot better, but then the owners changed and things haven't been quite right since. The food is now okay, unless you get a game meat burger which is quite dry. Excellent beer selection and has a pool table. Prices are semi reasonable.
Jack Sprat - Go to this place if you are in Girdwood. Beer and wine selection is good but not extensive. Food is excellent, and great for brunch. During the summer there is some outside eating, but I suggest that you sit inside by the front where it is glassed in. It is much less windy there, which is a constant it seems outside. Crepes of the day and soup. Excellent vegetarian option, and the bimbimbap is great.
Double Musky - This place is good cajun food, but generally over rated. No reservations and the line starts early. Otherwise, be ready for a wait, and chairs in the bar area are just as hard to get. Many people, if they can get a table in the bar, choose to stay there instead of waiting for their "regular" table. Beautiful wine list, excellent appetizers. I like to just order a bunch of appetizers when we go. It saves you money and you get a taste of many things. This place is $$.
Bake Shop - Just what it says really but some good breakfast options at good prices. Good place to go, and used to be the go to place until Jack Sprat opened up. This is still a go to place in my book.
HOMER
Fat Olives - Good Italian food. I do not recommend getting an appetizer and a pizza, because its just too much food. You would have to roll out. Worth a go. Prices are moderate. Wine is good.
Two Sisters Bakery - In the historic district. Very worth a go. Fresh bread, sandwiches, soups, and good wine and beer list. This place has some short hours but try to get in.
Land's End - $$$ The food was so-so. My friends said they really liked it. Maybe I'm picky.
Cosmic Kitchen - Cute place. I prefer the one on Pioneer, but there is also a location on the boardwalk. Serious menu with something for everyone. Small salsa bar and good wine and beer list. Friendly people. One of my favorite Homer places.
Duncan House Diner - Do not leave Homer without going here. Great cup of coffee, cute place, popular with locals. Excellent location on Pioneer. Plenty of parking. The biscuits and gravy were good. My girlfriends all had a taste of mine and from then on, all of them ordered a side. Portions are good and the money is right. It can get packed here, but there is almost no place better to cure your hangover.
Maura's - This place is divine. Breakfast and lunch. Tasty serve yourself coffee. Very popular. Food was killer.
AJ's Old Town Steakhouse - This place was a surprise. Good cheese plate, the calamari looked like a mess but was tasty. Drinks are excellent. Good location across from the Driftwood. Large on the inside and gets bands on the weekend.
Wasabi's - I was told this was the fine dining place to go when in Homer. The prices definitely tell you that, but the food was only okay. Sushi was large, but the rice was ice cold and shaped oddly. The mac n' cheese with scallops was over priced and bland, but the scallops were done perfectly. Drinks were good but pricey. They warm their sake up in the microwave.
