Friendly fast service. Clean place to eat and the food is tasty. The price sare Alaskan prices, and Alaskan sized portions.

Used to be good. Not any more. Dirty employees, dirty restaurant, dirty food. Excess credit card fees. Poor service. Not safe for tourists or locals. read more

Great food, and the service is always great., lots of yummy options to choose from. Nice environment too

Classic comfort diner food! This is a great spot to grab a meal before heading toward Talkeetna or on your way back into Anchorage. The food is delicious with generous portions, and the dining area is spacious and clean. Fast and friendly service. Definitely worth a stop! read more

Nice restaurant. Clean, great service and food prepared well. We had stopped here a few years ago while passing through and remembered that it was a good place to eat. We had breakfast both times and were well fed and pleased. I do recommend. read more

Lean, good food, good service and a nice family place. We went there because it's close but now I'd drive across town to eat there

I've driven by this place probably 97 times. I've always been curious, but never curious enough to stop. I was pleasantly surprised! It's a classic diner/greasy spoon, but a pretty good one at that! It's a great place to stop on the way up to Talkeetna or the Denali area. Portions are enormous, service is friendly, coffee refills are fast, and the coffee quality is suspect. Only downside is that you will probably see other diners here wearing confederate flag t-shirts, as we did. Apparently some people in the northernmost state identify with a treasonous country formed in the southernmost part of it. read more

The food is Home-Style comfort food and delish if you're looking for something like your mama makes! The chicken fried steak was as good as it is back in Texas! My husband was so thankful after 2 weeks of "cruise food", to have something made with love! The pizza is beautiful and all the portions are huge! The service is amazing and Maria gives the best hugs- we left feeling like we had just visited friends Enjoy- we sure did!! read more

Large clean and open restaurant with tables and booths. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with a senior menu items. The waitress was prompt and friendly. She refilled our coffees frequently never allowing us to run out. A high point for me. This is definitely a local's favorite. The Firepit Omelet is 3 eggs, spicy hot links, onions and cheese. Comes with your choice of potatoes and bread, biscuit or a pancake. Excellent The prices are reasonable and they accept credit credit and debit cards with a 3% charge added as many restaurants are doing now. Also like most businesses they are hiring. The do not accept checks or American Express. No outside seating but ample free parking. Overall I believe this is and excellent restaurant just past central Wasilla on the Parks Highway. read more

Chicken fried steak is my go to every time I visit a breakfast diner. When I tell you that this was the best chicken fried steak I've had in my entire life, I am not over exaggerating. The meat was so tender and juicy and the breading was crispy. I usually always make sure there is gravy on the chicken fried steak because a lot of times the steak itself will be dry and/or tough, but this chicken fried steak didn't even need gravy because it was already so delicious and well seasoned without it. And this is the first diner I have ever been to that has included 3 eggs with their breakfast items. The lady taking me and my friend's order was extremely sweet, she got us lemons for our waters and we were even able to stay seated for 3 and a half hours, the ambiance was a little less inviting and not the vibe I really like in restaurants but the food and service make up for it all. I will definitely be coming here again the next time I visit Alaska read more

Best breakfast and brunch in the valley nice and clean very nice service honestly the best service in the valley also very good dessert

This place makes you feel like family. absolutely love it. The pizza is eaten bland though!

We decided to give here a try as Cadillac Cafe could not accommodate a party of our size. This is a big establishment and we almost didn't go in as there was no one in the parking lot and thought they may have been closed. We had a large party and everything was fine service wise. She was prompt, attentive and friendly. The menu is HUGE and full of many comfort foods. I was famished with low blood sugar so it was hard to pick something when many things sounded good. I had the Southwest Burger which had green chilies, pepper jack cheese, and salsa on it. It was a pretty massive burger! I do believe however that this was a frozen patty (it looked like one texturally and had the weird light brown "grill marks") so I was a bit disappointed in that. Flavors were fine. The veggies seemed fresh, which I give a nod to. I didn't really eat them as I felt they didn't belong on my southwest inspired burger :) you have a couple side options and I went with fries and they were basic your every day fry. I sampled some of the other foods that were ordered and the pancakes were fluffy and delicious. I can never make pancakes at home that taste like restaurant style! The garlic mash was good too. My aunt had the fried chicken and you could hear that crispy crunchy chicken skin....YUM! Prices were reasonable and what you'd expect to pay anywhere, about $13 for my meal plus $3 for a soda. Was it one blowing? No. It was fine, I'd probably return but not go out of my way for it. read more

Denali Family Restaurant - Southwest Burger - Diners Near Me - Wasilla, Alaska

It was ok, not the best or worst food I have ever had. The place was under staffed and those who were there did work hard, but no time to provide the same service as you would expect when there are enough staff. read more

Not good for groups, as the cook, who is the owner, insists waiters take four people's orders, submit that ticket, then come back and take four more orders, then submit that ticket, and so on. Our end of the table of 14 had finished eating by the time the far end of the table got their food. Very weird. But the food was fine. read more

Been here a lot, the food is always delicious, the staff are friendly and respectful, honestly a great restaurant for anyone looking for a quick lunch. read more

This family style restaurant had a wide variety of breakfast items. My Omlette was prepared perfectly and the service was very good. They also have a variety of desserts and homemade pies that are very good as well. The ambiance is one of a general family restaurant , booths and tables read more

Since living out in North Wasilla for the summer we've gone here often. First experience was ordering ribs to go. They weren't bad but always on the lookout out for the best ribs, these were mediocre. They have homemade pies, cheesecake and fancy rolled cakes. I've been disappointed with their cheesecake. It's overdone, so dry and tasteless. They serve breakfast all day. The wait staff is very friendly. They actually gave us complimentary dessert, to go, one evening! The prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is casual. It's a nice place. It's become one of our favorites. read more

Very spacious restaurant! Big booths, and tables. It's definitely a family owned restaurant. The food is prepared carefully... and is super tasty! I felt the prices were great as well! I had a huge seafood platter for $23.00. It came with a side salad and garlic bread too. Everything was amazing!!! I will frequent here often. read more

Denali Family Restaurant - Huge Prawns!!! - Diners Near Me - Wasilla, Alaska

I love the idea of local family style businesses. It saddened me to see how empty the restaurant was when I first entered. The waitress was super friendly and accommodating. The portion was huge. I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. Nonetheless, the taste of the food is a bit of a disappointment. The baby back ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender but a bit bland. I had to soak them in the bbq sauce with each bite. To be fair, I'm accustomed to bold flavorful dishes so I maybe a bit harsh on this point. However, my steamed vegetables were over cooked. My French fries were crunchy so I'm happy. Pros: Friendly services Huge portion Family style Cons: The food is mediocre read more

I ordered BABY BACK RIBS, I received standard ribs. What a let-down, to say the very least. Not only did I not receive baby backs, but the ribs I received were beyond dry roasted, beyond dry and tough. This is no exaggeration! The best part of the meal was the vegetable medley. I ended up taking the ribs home, to hopefully revive them in a slow cooker. The saddest part of the entire situation, was that the owner of the restaurant was the cook! He of all persons should had known better than to serve a meal like that, needless to say, that is one business that I will not be visiting again. The waitstaff was beyond polite and respectful, courteous to my drink refills and such. My waitress tried to satisfy my regrets of ordering my meal, notifying management about my disappointment, owner offered a pie to offset my disappointment. I don't eat sweets! It's too bad that waitstaff need be affiliated with an owner like this. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars, is due to the outstanding waitstaff, negligence lyes solely on the owner/cook! read more

Portions are HUGE!!! Everything is home made including the ranch dressing. We shared a cinnamon roll and cheese curds ad an appetizer and they were tasty. My omelette was full and the potatoes hand cut and crispy. Biscuits super tasty and homemade. read more

It's been a year since I went there so things might have changed. We went for lunch and had the buffet. I was looking forward to the prime rib, but the server would only allow one small peace. What an ass, that wasn't mentioned when we ordered it. read more

Came here for breakfast. My husband ordered the Western Skillet and I had the 2x2x2 with French toast. Both of the meals came out as expected. Pretty basic breakfast food. I would say things could have been warmer. Service is friendly and quick. It's a clean establishment. read more

Amazing breakfast, good service, and clean place. I love it. It has great atmosphere

The staff was very friendly. Service started out strong, but went a bit by the wayside as soon as our meal was served. I love that you can order the meal as an omelette or a skillet. My skillet was served with very old over cooked potatoes and cold ham & veggies. The eggs were ordered over hard, but didn't quite get there. Once we were able to get the attention of our server, she was very apologetic & had a fresh meal made. It was very good ! They accommodated the issue by taking it off our bill. There is a large parking lot that can accommodate large RV's. read more

Typical diner fare. Good service. Prices are decent. I the French dip was basic but good. My preference is the chicken strips. The desserts where pretty legit. read more

This restaurant reminds of an IHOP or a typical family diner except much quieter. Upon opening the menu, I found there was so much too choose from. We were all a bit overwhelmed at the choices because they had a large variety of American food. I found myself wanting many different things which is not too bad here, the prices are reasonable. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries and a cup of chili. It was all quite tasty! Our waitress was also very attentive and always making sure our coffee was refilled. The only complaints I had were the entrance was not well kept, their plants were covered in lots of dust and the younger lady at the register was not very cordial. She was quite bland and did not make us feel welcome. If you find yourself in Wasilla this is still a decent stop to get pretty much anything you're craving and it is conveniently located along the George Parks Highway. read more

This is a stereotypical roadside diner, has a very homestyle feel to it. The menu is huge and robust in options to choose from. I do like some cafes and diners, but rarely do they every rise above the "A-OKAY" rating beyond being solid and reliable without anything awe inspiring or notable to brag about. This is a reliable place, and the service was friendly and courteous. The pricing was average and portions fair. read more

Great servers, good attitudes, crappy food. We don't have a lot of options for food out here which is why I've given them so many try's. Every meal I've ordered has been a disaster. Cold this.... burnt that..... it's seriously becoming comical. How could one place consistently screw up this bad? I even once had a "homemade" syrup that was basically a near tasteless gelatinous blob. Kudos for trying to go homemade but.... wtf did you serve it? You knew it was a dog shit attempt. The only positive thing about this place is the servers. read more

Services was bad, we were completely ignored for about 10 minutes, finally got our drinks, then Ignored again, until a different waitress took our order. Food arrived cold and late, tables around us ordered and finished before we even got our food. Food was just OK nothing out of the ordinary. read more

Maybe because we went later at night it was almost no one in there my salad had rotten tomatoes on it and my halibut was dry and tough. They argued with me about the rotten tomato and it was just a terrible experience all the way around. read more
