    Potato and steak soup
    Cindy V.

    Everything here was amazing! I would've never thought a grill and catering place would be so good, but it was! The owners, David and Wena, and their entire staff make you feel at home right when you walk in the door. You order on a kiosk and then they bring you the food. The restaurant is clean and cute - decorated with trinkets and witty memorabilia. All of the food was excellent! Everything comes out piping hot, fresh from the kitchen. David makes the burger patties fresh every morning. Wena is definitely the personality of the restaurant. She was really fun to talk to and when she found out we were going to Borealis Basecamp after lunch, she texted her friend (the chef at Latitude 65) right away to get us a reservation there! This little restaurant went beyond our expectations. I will be back next time I'm in Fairbanks and would definitely recommend!

    This is probably some kind of against the rules of being a local but this place is very much a local favorite! The place is also clean and the people are very friendly. The food is fresh and made to order. You feel like you are getting a home cooked meal from a great restaurant. There's nothing fancy about the menu or the decor but both are pretty dang charming if you ask anyone who lives here. The woman who probably owns it or at least should is loud in the friendliest way. She makes sure that everyone gets their order and leaves happy.

    burger with cheesy bacon ranch curly fries

    If you're looking for decadent, fried food, this is the place to go. Owned and run by a couple, you can see family memorabilia and artwork all throughout the walls. It added a nice local, homey feel. For the food, I ordered a burger with a side of cheesy bacon ranch curly fries. My husband ordered the jalapeño philly cheese steak sandwich with a side of cheesy bacon ranch tater tots. Everything was so good! It was definitely a bit difficult to finish after a while, but I wished I had a larger stomach to be able to finish because it was indeed very tasty. I especially loved the cheesy bacon ranch sauce and toppings over our potatoes. The jalapeño adds a nice kick to your traditional philly cheese steak. Would highly recommend!

    Very friendly owners - chatting it up with us. Both had a chicken salad and it was good. Cool picture mural in the hallway

    BBQ beef sandwich, coleslaw & curly fries
    Alana C.

    Pretty solid eatery. Enjoyed the homey atmosphere. Everything very clean and organized. The staff was on the ball from the second we walked in. Very attentive, fast and friendly. My Dad and I got a couple of sandwiches & curly fries which came with a fountain drink. Price is affordable, and I'd say reasonable for the quality (about $28 for 2 lunches). Both our meals were fresh tasting and satisfying, although I wish they'd had a big pickle spear! The Rueben only came with 2 or 3 quarter sized pickle chips, and the bbq beef came with none. There's a creative variety of burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads and hotdogs within the menu. I'd recommend this south side spot to anyone needing a super casual and quick lunch.

    DW Grill & Catering is hands down one of the best small business, food establishment (mom and pops) in the city of Fairbanks, AK! I was greeted upon entering the establishment with open arms by owner (Winna), including her taking my order immediately, making it easy for me to pay for our meal quick. Especially, when I was very limited on time to eat. The staff was very friendly, and efficient delivering my food to my table without any issues with my order. They have many, many choices of reasonable priced sandwiches to choose from, making it real hard not order a to-go plate for dinner. With the large menu, Winna is there to assist what type of sandwich are in the mood for or give you run down what specials they maybe having that day. If you are looking to 'spice' up your sandwich, no worries, they have additional condiments for you to splotch-up on your sandwich. DW Grill establishment is very small, but unique due the amount of beautiful Alaska décor (art) display around the restaurant, including a Mural you can take a group picture for memories. If you are looking for cheap eats and good food, DW Grill is the place to be!

    The front counter at DW you order yourself at kiosks! The fun stickers the shouting loads of friendly fast moving fun.

I ended up getting some tacos and my husband got a sandwich. Both of them had really good flavor. Could tell that a lot of ingredients are made in house.

We really enjoyed the glass roof as the snow was just starting to melt. It was kind of cool like we were in a half melted igloo. I would definitely put it on my list if you are gluten-free.

Landed on the BLT with salmon. The BLT actually came with a croissant as the bread, so it made it very easy to eat. Lots of bacon and the salmon went really well with the sandwich. Fries here are great too! Staff here are great! Since we came here near closing time, they actually offered us some of their leftover soup since it would have been tossed out. Definitely hate wasting food, so that offer was accepted very quickly. I didn't realize until after leaving why Blue Roof Bistro has its name. It's because...the roof is blue heh. Either way, worth the visit.

Unfortunately, when we…read morearrived, I noticed that all the crepes were being placed on the same skillet once finished. That meant egg-based crepes were potentially touching the vegan ones. I asked if one skillet could be wiped down so I could safely order, but they weren't able to accommodate that (it also wasn't very busy at the time, which is why I asked). Because of this, I decided not to risk ordering a crepe. I did end up getting the hot chocolate, which was actually excellent. It was really well balanced, rich, and chocolatey without being overly sweet. Everyone else in my group ordered crepes and loved them, so it's clear the food is good. I just wish there was a bit more flexibility around cross-contact for people ordering vegan options or with dietary restrictions. Based on my personal experience, I would lean toward a 2, but since others really enjoyed their crepes and the hot chocolate was great, it feels fair to land on a 3 for my rating.
