My fiancé ordered the 3/4 pound brisket platter and it was very tender and juicy. He got traditional and smoky bbq sauce as sides and the traditional bbq sauce I'd buy in a bottle . It was the perfect bbq sauce. We ordered the corn fritters and they were HUGE should have went with a half order. The only thing I was disappointed on were the sides. We ordered Mac and cheese and potato salad. I wish I would have paid more attention to the size of the sides cause when I opened the bag at home I was blown away. Next time I'll know to ask for a larger size. Overall, great service took about 20 mins from ordering. Hopefully it turns into a sit down restaurant with a beer selection. I can see it being the next best restaurant on the south side. Super stoked to have found this gem. I highly recommend you check it out. Update: 8 days later and I've order 2 more times cause I couldn't get enough of that brisket. Great job guys.

(most of it up here is more Texas-inspired) I was delighted to find another BBQ place on Yelp, more so a Southern on, even MORE so one with ZERO reviews! I called them up and ordered ahead of time. I got the ribs, which were under $20, a rarity for BBQ! This place occupies the space formerly occupied by Alleyway Grille (that delicious, late-night, stoner haute-cuisine extravaganza) You order and pickup food from the drive through. I called in ahead and they asked me if I wanted to pickup in "5 or 10 minutes?". I chose 5! Service was friendly and I took my food home to eat. The ribs were very good and served on a piece of white bread (BBQ bread ain't fancy, yo!). The sides were much better than some of the more recent BBQ pop-ups post-COVID. It was a perfect lunch-sized portion of everything. I'll definitely be giving them another try (brisket on Sundays only). Great food, I just wish they would add collard greens. So rare to find those up here!

(F/Sat/Sun only) When I ordered, I was half-expecting my order to be cancelled! I'll try to make this review a compliment sandwich: We got a combo meal and a brisket combo. The pig meat (pork) was very good: the ribs and the pulled pork were above average. The brisket was A-OK. It was too dry and didn't have enough fat for me. The sides were very very below average. The beans were worse than you'd get out of a can. The coleslaw was dramatically underseasoned. It just tasted like shredded cabbage. The bread was as plain as can be. The only way I can recommend ordering from here is getting meat by the pound. The sides are offensive. I hope they can work on getting better sides, as the meat is decent.

I tried their Georgia mustard sauce and sweet & sassy sauce. I liked both, but was really impressed with the mustard sauce. The pork was extremely tender, cooked perfectly. I did think the coleslaw was a bit lacking as I prefer it to be a bit more tangy, but the beans were pretty good (they tasted similar to canned and maybe they were, but I like those too). I wish it came with corn bread, but that's just a preference, the toast was fine too. My partner said his brisket was good as well. I would definitely order from here again. I want to try the Carolina mustard sandwich next!

Decided to go here on a Sunday since they are now open for Sunday brunch and dinner. This is our…read morefirst trip. I had called prior to inquire about gluten-free options. I was told that most likely I could have the catfish. But anything smothered most likely not. If you're concerned about cross contamination, this is not the place to be. I opted of course for the catfish and my two sides were sweet potatoes and collard greens. I had to forgo the cornbread or roll that comes with. My husband ordered the same since they did not have ribs on today's menu and his sides were mac & cheese and sweet potatoes with cornbread. He wanted sweet tea, but they were out so we both got the Kool-Aid and the flavor was tropical punch I would assume. Everyone was friendly and accommodating with all my questions. You know from my previous reviews if you can't give me the time to answer my allergy questions then you probably can't take the time to take my money either so I'm not going to eat there. But not the case here. I found that they have beef ribs as well as pork, ribs, and short rib ribs. They have turkey, bacon and chicken, bacon and regular. Shrimp. So those would be the proteins that I can have being gluten-free. Oxtails and any other meat that comes with a sauce or gravy would contain flour. So I could have the shrimp and grits for example. But it's nice to know that I can also get some ribs since I don't eat pork. They also have turkey sausage. The catfish was seasoned great & fried perfectly. My husband felt robbed in that there should've been more fish. As we have experienced more from for example, from a soulful restaurant in Hawaii for about the same price with same two sides as recently as January 2026. We hit that restaurant multiple times while we were in Hawaii because of the portions and the flavor. I felt that the sides were plentiful as they did fill the to go three part container up above the top threshold, which was awesome. So not stingy with the sides. They are also mindful that the juices from the sides could run over into the catfish area and make it soggy so they put parchment paper around the catfish so that when juices go over into that section it does not come in contact with the fish. That is very thoughtful. The collard greens were good. Might need a little more salt or garlic but that's me and how I cook. The sweet potato rounds remind me of the picsweet sweet potato rounds that you can buy versus buying the canned sweet potatoes or using fresh sweet potatoes and then adding your own butter and seasoning to them. I say that because the sweet potato had some kind of aftertaste that I can't put my finger on what that flavor was, but for me it was offputting so I probably won't order those again. My husband, however, felt that he could deal with it. He also tasted the aftertaste of some ingredients that was not cinnamon or nutmeg or butter or sugar, but he would order them again. He really did like the mac & cheese a lot so it's good that they put plenty in the container for him. I of course couldn't have any so I'm going off of his review of that. The Kool-Aid was definitely sweet not white on the "liquid crack" level, but definitely not watered down. If it was any more sweeter, it would definitely be my mom's. So good job done there. They were out of the sweet tea so we will have to try that next time. The restaurant is pretty large in that the tables were spaced out across the area so there would be plenty of space between you and tables. They do have some booths in there. Three flatscreen TVs but only two were on at the time that we came through there. The table that we sat at to wait for our to go order was sticky clean but sticky I didn't go around to test the other tables which I could have because we were the only ones in the restaurant besides a DoorDasher. So I'm hoping that they just didn't clean that one as well versus sticky tables all around. But for cleanliness at first look, it is clean. We came just as the transition from brunch to dinner at 3:00 PM so they did have food in the display area, but catfish was not there so we got ours fresh. They did get the sweet potatoes and the mac & cheese from the displayed containers under the heat lamps they take all forms of payment, including tap and pay. So all in all the experience was good for the most part and we will go back to try other foods so we can review those as far as I can go being gluten-free.

Returned to Arctic Roadrunner and still impressed. The all American burgers are large and juicy. Full of taste. With an old fashioned taste of the 1960's. 4.5.

The large French fries had good taste but I would have liked a larger-large order. 4.0 Free refills were available on all soft drinks. There were twelve different soft drinks to choose including Coke and Dr. Pepper. A short line to order and the order was filled quickly. Men's room was recently cleaned. Wife also appreciated a clean ladies room. We dined in a booth with a window that overlooked a swiftly flowing stream that was about fifty feet away down about a twenty foot hill. The cashier always smiled and seemed very happy to see us. There were no TV's and no music was playing. I was able to talk with my wife and have no distractions. That is good. Glad that I dined there, with my wife, for lunch today.

Is El Green Go's "authentic"? Hell no!…read more Is El Green Go's the best Mexican-style food in Anchorage? Hell yes! While I live within walking distance of the OG, foodcart location, and probably won't be visiting this one very often: I am so proud of them for finally have a brick and mortar location! I know it's something they've been working hard on for a while now. This is my favorite type of restaurant, one that is near-mythical in how hard it is to find: it's actually a secret BBQ joint. What do I mean? I mean it's a place that cooks meats with care, low-and-slow, for the purpose of making amazing tacos and burritos. More places like this, please!

Trivia: The meat here is cooked via what delicious practice?

There is a limited variety of drinks available outside of the soda, but the signage and wall of taps say beer is coming soon. I will say that the Mineragua sparkling water is quite refreshing. Maybe even better than *gasp* Topo Chico. The chips and salsa were good. But either the salsa I received isn't the spicy salsa, or their spicy salsa isn't spicy. But the tomato forward, slightly chunky salsa is quite tasty. So listen...that first bite is going to be magic as soon as the smoke touches your nostrils. The tastebuds will simply confirm the superior flavor milliseconds later.

Our reservation was for 4 PM. We asked to be seated at a booth. Lo and behold, we got our favorite server, Matt, who we hadn't seen for a while. So me being Gluten-Free I felt pretty safe with him because he knows what to watch out for and is very honest with his opinions and if in doubt he will find out. The menu does point out with a GF next to the menu items that are definitely gluten-free. But it never hurts the ask your server if the chef would make exceptions or adjustments to other dishes. I wanted the "Roasted Oysters" $23 but it did not have a "GF" next to it like the fresh oysters did and Matt went to go check to make sure & see if anything could be done. He found out that it could not be adjusted for gluten-free allergies as they use Panko crumbs in the recipe. Boo! Anyway, Matt then suggested the "Steamed Clams & Mussels" for $18 and that was a very good suggestion. They were very tasty & a little spicy. So if you don't like spice, this isn't the dish for you. I would've liked a little less heat, but it was still tasty nonetheless. We ordered the mocktails and I got the "Shake your Tree" and my husband got the "Coconut Watermelon Cooler", at $8 ea. my husband said his was OK. He expected more coconut flavor leaning to piña colada type of drink, but this was not that and had a very watermelon after note. I didn't like it much but my "Shake your tree" drink was very pleasant, refreshing and definitely tasted like pineapple with the sugar around the rim of the glass. Wish they made a bigger glass of it. To the point I got two! lol. My husband ordered the "Seafood Chowder" by the cup rather than the bowl at $6 he also ate the three pieces of bread that they brought to the table. and of course, I can't have any. He ordered the "Special Ribeye Steak" from the "tonight's specials" menu at $59 for a 14 ounce cut topped with chimichurri; served with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. The steak was cooked too perfection at medium and very tender, juicy and flavorful. My husband felt that he didn't have enough mashed potatoes because he finished that and the fresh vegetables which were carrots, broccoli and cauliflower steamed well before he made it through his steak. I had the 1/2 Rack Center Cut Lamb (GF) grilled and topped with cherry-garlic sauce & served with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes with skin in and fresh steamed vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots for $36. My lamb was also cooked to perfection of medium and was very juicy, flavorful and tender. Our server was on point with everything as usual! I received the crème brûlée for my birthday dish, and my husband got the carrot cake with I believe a side of whipped cream. The crème brûlée was very good and tasty. The bowl sat on a plate of chocolate and raspberry sauce. I had to scrape that up to eat it with my crème brûlée, which was a little different as you don't get much. It would've been better how they put it maybe in a dish of its own on the side so you can dip it in there or decorate the top of the crème brûlée it . Either way I finished it. It was good. My husband said the carrot cake was very moist and flavorful and he ate it all. The place wasn't very loud as we got there at the beginning of dinner when they opened. so there was a walk-in group of about 15 people and another couple there with us at the beginning. So the atmosphere was pretty quiet started getting louder before we left at about 6 PM. The damage was to the tune of $153. Not bad for what we got. We both left very full, satisfied and we will return. Shout out to Matt K. For doing what he does best when it comes to good customer service. Did spots and crumbs in the corner of my booth that were missed clearly from the night cleanup crew as we were the first ones for the day in that booth. But that's not enough to knock the meal itself and the experience.
