    Salmon salad
    Alia G.

    Cute little grill in the middle of nowhere.... or what seems like the middle of nowhere. It's about 1/2 mile down the dirt road from Denali Lakeview Inn if you happen to be staying there which we were. Solid Eats. I was a little disappointed that my beer was warm, but I was thirsty and drank it anyways. The salmon on my salad was a bit dry, but tasty nonetheless. The little bits of mango and pecans were great additions to the salad that I would not normally do at home. Learned something new to do at home! My mom had the crab leg which was reasonably priced (IMO), was meaty and had really nice ( not too briny ) flavor. Note: if you happen to get the Paloma... it's a canned drink, and it's a sweet "cocktail".

    Aug18 2022 (Thursday) Between 6:20 Pm and 7:25 Pm. Grilled chicken Fettuccine was ok, Ceasar salad was delicious. Anti-Pasto plater was unusual but tasty. Waitress was next to worthless. Served our food then promptly forgot about us. Won't be tipping her well whatsoever.

    Empty plates!!! I forgot to take the picture earlier ... upppsss

    Great little place hide away. Excellent views of the mountains, delicious food and great service. Super friendly staff ... also have some beers on tap- their white beer was so refreshing

    I've been trying to find this place for a while…read more For so long, that I often thought it was myth. What? A bar? In Denali? You mean the park right? Not just the Denali area? You sure it's not some bar in "Glitter Gulch"? I've looked for it numerous times, with no luck. It's hard to describe where it is, you'll think you're driving in places you're not supposed to. (and maybe you aren't?) It's not a myth friends. Maybe I shouldn't even be listing it but, it *is* listed on other sites that fulfill similar niches to Yelp. And lack of beta is one of my criticisms about Alaska, so I'm doing my little part to change that. Anyway, this place is awesome! It's a building built up around two rail cars. It's hard to describe until you see it. The ambiance is probably the most "real" you'll find in the whole greater Denali area. Most of the folks here work or volunteer for the park (and also associated businesses) in some capacity, at least that's what it seemed like. Key features: Friendly bartenders, live music, beer and wine only. I don't know how they managed to do it, but the beer they have on tap is incredible. I saw stuff on tap here that I've never seen anywhere else in the state. For wine, they have a Bota Red and a Bota White. Also, it's cheap! Just about everything is $5! An unheard of price for Alaska, let alone touristy Alaska. They also make pizza and, although I didn't eat any, it looked pretty incredible. Worth a stop, just don't tell your friends! (note, the location I have pinned here is exactly where it is located, your GPS might not like it very much though, where's your sense of adventure, anyway?)

Although it was a cold and wet Alaskan night, inside was warm and comfy. We were seating pretty immediately even though it was packed, and our friend (who so graciously drove us here) recommended we try their Yak Burger. Usually I let my camera eat first, but the burger smelled so good, I ended up devouring it before I could even take a picture. One of the best burgers I've had in my life. The beers too were delicious. There's something for everyone here from light lagers to heavy stouts and even fruity ciders. You can't go wrong. Highly recommend stopping by 49th State Brewing.

When we arrived there was a bit of a wait for dinner seating - which we didn't mind; gave us an opportunity to order some drinks and checkout the enormous outdoor space they have in front. Unfortunately while they listed many beers on the menu, they were out of at least half of them. Wasn't an issue for me as I was able to get my fill with what they had available -- but I would have loved to try some flights to taste them all (if they had them available). As mentioned, even with what was avaiable; tons of variety and everything I tried (IPAs and Sours) were great. It was cool to explore "the bus" out front; they let you go inside which they've made a mini museum with timeline; it isn't actually "THE bus" -- it's the one used in the movie (Into the Wild), but a great replica that lets you really imagine what Chris was living in out there. We were called in for our table much sooner than expected. Friendly server who, like most summer staff in Denali, are young foreigners that are coming to the USA for the first time on a temporary work visa to visit -- can't blame them, our country is the best. Despite being inexperienced, the server tried his best and did a good job. Where this place flounders is in the food. Nothing to write home about - everything was just at about par for the most part. We had the nachos as an appetizer -- very simple, decent size, nothing special. I ordered the Yak Burger per recommendations; wasn't worthwhile. Didn't taste much different than a normal run-of-the-mill burger. I couldn't differential between the yak meat and any other normal beef burger; menu item seems like a bit of a tourist trap. My partner had one of the fish dishes (I think the cod) and also wasn't impressed - small portion size and nothing substantive in terms of fresh flavor. Both dishes seemed overpriced given the lack of taste/quality. I definitely wouldn't recommend eating here, but would recommend swinging by for a drink prior to (or after) going somewhere else to dine.

My first impression upon checking in at the hostess station and looking into the seating area, was that it might not be as good an experience as I'd hoped. I was wrong. They were jammed. We got seated at one of three 2-tops next to the open kitchen. Normally I enjoy being able to watch food being prepared but I thought it was going to be too loud and busy. Well, it was loud but tolerable and it was a very busy space but I really enjoyed watching the grill-man, the other prep folks as well as the 2 People doing the finishing touches, garnishes and delivering the food. Our server was Regan. What a pleasure she was. Really delightful, helpful and attentive. We ordered cocktails and an appetizer and slowly enjoyed both. Later, we ordered a single meal to share. We loved it! Here's what we had: Drinks: Cosmo cocktail Lavender Gin cocktail Blackberry Smash cocktail All the drinks were well crafted and very tasty. Appetizer: Halibut Bites Really nice appetizer. Salad: Wedge with Blue Cheese dressing The salad was large enough to share and we asked for some extra dressing. Really good. Side: Marscapone Potato Gratin These were really special. Love it. Main: Prime Beef Filet with Lobster Herb Butter Oh my word, super tender and flavorful. If we find ourselves back in the area, we'd eat here again!
