All 5 stars across the board! I had the Schnitzel dinner, and coming from a person test was raised in a German household, this was as good as I've ever had it! They have a great selection of local brews and I tried an IPA with my dinner and afterwards polished the night off with a top shelf whiskey and it couldn't have been smoother. I really enjoyed my night here and will always be one of my favorite eateries in anchorage.

Food was just delicious. Hands down one of the best chicken sandwiches. The banana cream pie with bruele bananas totally hit the spot. The service wasn't the greatest, but I would eat there again anytime.

I came here for lunch one day and their menu has good variety for a lot of different moods. Across the whole table, portions were huge and satisfying, even with just a salad, everybody I was with was happy. I had the Korean rice bowl with shrimp and it was excellent for me -- sweet with a little bit of heat and lots of good flavors. The green curry soup seemed to be another hit dish. I'll happily come back and try more next time I'm around.

Took myself out to dinner tonight as a bit of a celebration, and landed on a new place to try (in part because I got on the wrong bus). Nicholas was my server, and he was fantastic. I tried the avocado melt with bacon and fries and really enjoyed a nice, flavorful, simple meal. The rhubarbie soda was also very good. 10/10 will eat here again.

Amazingly delicious! This is now going to be our place to go every time we visit Anchorage. The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The fried chicken sandwich was the best I've ever had. My husband got the spenard stack, which is sadly not on the menu anymore, but was still able to ask for it. We were only able to eat half before we couldn't take another bite from being so full.

Usually love this place, today not so much. Just look at these chicken tenders! After pulling the never ending layers of breading off, this was all that was left of actual chicken. Same for the chicken sandwich we got.

Awesome dinner. Ate here twice on our vacation. Great service and large portions of food. I had an amazing fried chicken sandwich. The only thing both times we were there we had a wait time. But it was worth it. Parking is limited. We had to park next door in the bank parking lot.

Stopped by for an early dinner and overall it was good. The pizza and salmon burger were a solid 5/5! However, the halibut fish ‘n chips was a really skimpy meal, which was disappointing and definitely not worth the amount we paid.
