• Everything.
• Nothing.

“Fantastic! In anchorage for work and had to have salmon. It was perfect, the food, the service, and the view at sunset was spectacular-doesn't get much better.”

Double Musky Inn

• Outstanding steak! Best I ever had!
• Having to pay for our drinks while we waited and not being able to carry the table with us to the table we ate at!

“When we arrived it was busy so they seated us in a side room and we ordered drinks while we waited for a table. Then we had to pay for our drinks when our table was ready. I think we should have been able to carry our tab with us, since we were having dinner here. That had to have been the only thing I found negative about it. The steak was out of this world. If your ever visiting Alaska this is a must do!”

Gwennies Old Alaska Restaurant

• Children seem to like all the stuffed animals in the decor.
• This restaurant is past its prime and in full decline.

“We'd been to Gwennies before and had a decent breakfast, so we decided to try their dinner menu. Big mistake. We'll never go back to Gwennies again, and we don't recommend that anyone eat there. My husband and I both ordered the baked halibut dinner special. Before eating at Gwennies, I had no idea that an Alaskan restaurant wouldn't know how to cook halibut, but the cook at Gwennies that night didn't have a clue. We both were served a huge slab of halibut, but the fish was cold and mushy. It looked and tasted as if it had been reheated after being frozen, and it hadn't been completely reheated. How can an Alaskan restaurant serve cold, mushy halibut as a dinner special? We've had perfectly cooked, light and flaky halibut at numerous restaurants all over Alaska, so it was quite a shock that Gwennies was so bad. We spent $50 on that dinner.”

Snow City Cafe

• Amazing soup!
• Boring layout.

“The most delicious tomato soup I have ever had! So good it made the pasta dish taste bland by comparison! Perfect little informal restaurant for all day dining. Super efficient and friendly staff. Will definitely be back if even just only for the soup!”

Glacier BrewHouse

• Food, beer and service.
• Noise level.

“This was a great introduction to anchorage having just arrived and exhausted from our trip, to enter this restaurant that was bustling with people energized us. The food was incredible if you are there the herb crusted halibut is incredible, complemented by a tasty amber ale. Scott our server made the experience even better with his attentive service, knowledge and sense of humor. This place is a must if you are ever in anchorage...”

• Great Osseo Bochco.
• Music could be a bit louder.

“In town for a business trip and had a free evening. Took a nice walk around downtown and ended up with this. Since I was by myself, found an open seat at the bar and ordered a draft beer. I was told it was from their other restaurant. A very tasty Hefeweizen. Very friendly bartender, mention he had been in town for a number of years and was full of all kind of great tips. Started with a sliced tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil salad, very fresh tasting tomato slices and great flavor. I ended up ordering the Osso Bochco and found it to be outstanding, would order it again next time in town. Carrot cake for dessert and it was one of the best I ever had. Busy place, very nice service, all the staff seemed to be having a good time. Good Food.”

Kodiak Cafe

• I liked the choices offered.
• On-street parking can be a challenge.

“Halibut isn't a fish I grew up eating, and I didn't care for it until I had it at Kodiak cafe. Whenever we're vacationing in anchorage, Kodiak cafe is one place I want to make sure I don't miss! It has a casual, homey feel, with friendly staff.”

Denny's

• Location.
• Afternoon staff.

“Having been a customer of Denny's nationwide for over 40 years and a customer at this location for over 20 years. I have had it. If I go here in the morning the service and food is what you would expect. But go anytime after 2 PM and you would think you were in another world. I have tried several times to get something late afternoon-early evening. If anyone even waits on you have to ask them to take your order, then when it finally comes it has turned cold from sitting so long waiting on the staff to finish their discussions about who is doing what with whom. They apply no attention to the customers, bring wrong food or ignore you all together. The manager must leave around 2 pm. This is not a single time but time and time again. After 20 years of 5-8 meals a week here I have had enough and will take my hunger elsewhere.”

• Elegant yet warm and friendly.
• Doesn't fit every budget.

“This is a classy place, yet comfortable and friendly, not "stiff". The food is elegant and delicious, the wine selection lovely and the booths are very tall. I loved Andy the bartender with so much personality.”

Choffees
Mar 24, 2007 by Jean from Flagstaff

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Excellent food and coffee.
• Too small.

“Coffees are actually a small soup, sandwich, coffee, and pastry spot. They have a limited breakfast menu but the food that I tried was excellent and very affordable. Their sandwich menu is great. I recommend choosing something from their "house specialties". I tried their ck tuna sandwich and it was amazing. I also tried the jamming' ham sandwich and it was excellent also. The place is small, only two tables and very busy. So it may be best to call ahead and place your order. Oh, by-the-way, they have the best coffee I¿ve ever had...”

Burrito Factory
Aug 25, 2006 by Garry Davis from Canton, MI

Overall Rating: 5
Food:[5] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[2]

• No long line
• No atmosphere

“If you like Gas Station fast food then this is for you. The "stand" is located in a gas station along with other off the shelf items such as chips and oil. The people are friendly enough but of course the food is take out only. I only had one meal which was lacking in spices and was cooked in a microwave. Service was typical fast food style with the addition of a "tip" cup on the counter. ”

Top Of The World Restaurant
Jul 16, 2006 by Chris from Grand Rapids, MI

Overall Rating: 6
Food:[7] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Great view, that's about it.
• Service was very poor, general menu knowledge very poor.

“I was on a recent visit to Anchorage for a few nights and decided to check out the "top of the world restaurant". I first entered the restaurant and sat at the bar to have a drink. I ordered a nice bottle of wine from the bartender and had a glass before walking out onto the deck to have some dinner. So far, everything was fine. I had a seat in the corner overlooking the city and waited, and waited, finally I flagged down a bus boy and asked him for a menu and to send over the waiter. The buzzer said ok, I will get him. Evidently he got distracted by something and totally forgot about me. I looked around and there were maybe half a dozen tables, nothing too busy. Finally I flagged a waiter down dropping a check a couple of tables away, I asked him if he is my waiter. He exclaimed, " I don't know, Do you want me to be?" I found this a little strange and said sure. He then took his time and finally came back about five minutes later. I ordered a tenderloin steak and he brought me a new York strip and didn't even realize the difference between the two. His general knowledge, and professionalism was very low and I wasn't at all impressed with the quality of the food. The chowder was premade and the potatoes in it were still raw and I ordered a Med. Rare steak and it was almost well done. I refused the steak and finished my bottle of wine and left very unimpressed. If you are in Anchorage, I would suggest going to either "Club Paris", or Sullivan's Steakhouse if you want good food and good service. The Hilton should be ashamed. Steer clear of top of the world unless all you want is a drink. Even that took over ten minutes to get. Don't waste your time or money there. ”

Double Musky Inn
Jul 15, 2006 by kai from Providece

Overall Rating: 1

• None.
• Trashy environment, high priced and very long waiting time.

“The owner/hostess was racially selective about sitting her clients. I, Korean descent, along with my party of four were bumped further and further down the list as I observed members arriving later obtained their seats before us. The restaurant does not take reservations as well which adds to the waiting. I did not confront the owner/hostess to prove my observation, needless-to-say I did not had to. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!”

Downtown Deli & Cafe

Food:[2] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[3]

• Pancases, place is in downtown.
• Manager, bad hygiene, kitchen, bad way of employers.

“Restaurant Downtown Deli is very nice just on first glance. But, the kitchen is so dirty. The cooks never wash their hands. Do not want to see this kitchen. The personal have to use just one restroom, which is very dirty too. "General manager" of this restaurant is arrogant and his behavior to employees is horrible. In Deli are the best pancakes, but another food is really not healthy and not fresh. I never saw restaurant like this before!”

Flying Machine (Millennium Alaskan Hotel)
Feb 15, 2006 by Bryan from Eagle River, AK

Overall Rating: 6
Food:[3] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Nice atmosphere, friendly service.
• Try the fish, chicken, whatever. Surrounding area was a little rough.

“Hostesses and server were very friendly. Nice surroundings to include view of lake and a fireplace. Entrees (steaks) were horrible. Rib eye was full of gristle, fat, and overcooked. New York Strip little better but charred on the outside and overcooked inside. Both steaks were ordered medium. When I told this to the waitress she said that since the steak was so thick they had to cook it more. Nice try, but I don't think so. My mistake for not bringing this to her attention earlier, but still felt it was a poor excuse. On the positive side, my dog thought half of the rib eye was delicious. ”

Bombay Deluxe

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Food, Service

“This restaurant is great I often have the lunch buffet (great value at $9.95) and dinner about once a month. The food is excellent, better than several Indian restaurants Ia''ve had in California. When I went in there early this week there were plenty of people (including Indians) maybe a tour came in, I dona''t know but a lot of Indians. Cost is reasonable for Anchorage. The staff is always friendly and helpful they answer all my silly questions. You can watch them make the naan in the clay pot. Love the Shahi Paneer.”
