We held a small fundraising event in April at which DW Grill provided appetizers. Service and food quality was exceptional! They were quick to respond, the food was ready for pick up on-time, their prices were non-profit friendly, and their food was delicious! Thank you DW Grill & Catering. Karen, BBBSAK read more

The BEST food in Fairbanks! I cannot express how much I love this place, from the food to the owners, everything exceeds expectations. To start, I am a certified food snob, especially being from Louisiana. I have learned that truly phenomenal food is a luxury in some places... Fairbanks being one. This place however, everytime I have eaten here I've been brought to another world. The flavors & seasonings are absolute perfection, the portion sizes are big enough you can experience it twice, & the price is just right. It was so good I was willing to bet the cook was a fellow southerner, but it turns out he just really has a talent on the grill & it SHOWS! I do not think these people could make bad food even if they tried. I was a bit nervous about the Marley Fries because I'm not toooo big on anything with mayo... but my... they are to DIE for!! The husband & wife duo that owns & operates this place are absolute gems. They are insanely kind, caring, & just down to earth. They are just as warm & soulful as the food they serve. Overall, if you skip out on this place, you'll regret it. You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu!! read more

Fast and friendly, great food and ambience. They take the time to get to know their customers so when I call they know my number and what I want when I call, they answer the phone saying hi "name". Highly recommended with way better food than Fenders just down the block. They also take the time to help carry out your order without asking. Mom and pop feel and service. I recommend the Sunshine burger . read more

OK, the food that I have had from there has always ended up not coming directly from the restaurant but from someone that worked there so I feel like maybe I was spoiled their burgers were absolute excellence and I have not heard anything bad recently about this establishment, I'm giving them clap clap thumbs up and I'm just never on that side of town anymore so it's difficult to do reviews. read more

What a find! Not only delicious food, but a super friendly family-run establishment. Love their tots!

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! read more

Food is excellent. Service is awesome. Very friendly. They treat you like family. Food is made fresh and fast.

Good. The Reuben was good. Nothing special. The club was good. Nothing special. Both sandwiches very light on the protein. Employees very nice and very accommodating. Considering Fairbanks prices these were worth about $14.95. Just average sandwiches that included fries. Just good fries, again nothing special. The bill for 2 reubens and one club sandwich was $58.15. Add a takeout gratuity, came to $68.00. For 3 lunch sandwiches. Really guys? Sorry. Won't be back or recommending to friends. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Love the food here wish they could be open for dinner but highly recommend for anyone looking for good American comfort food!!!!

We just happened in this place and WOW what a great little hidden gem! We ordered a bacon cheeseburger, brat and Philly Cheesesteak! It was wonderful!!! But even better was the owner who came out to meet us and made sure we had everything we needed in a busy and bustling place (for obvious reasons!) If you are in the area, stop in and walk out satisfied and smiling (even if you were in a stressed or bad mood before entering!) read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I spent my birthday week in FAIRBANKS & when I tell you I ate here everyday I mean it. The owners Winna & David along with their amazing staff truly made my time here in Alaska incredible. They are both so friendly and selfless , greeting everybody that comes in like a life long friend. The restaurant is homey and makes you feel more than welcomed even if we came all the way from Florida. If you need a new favorite in town for delicious breakfast or savory burgers then I recommend 1000% to take a visit to DW grill. I will be booking my next trip all thanks to them! read more

Great food cooked on order. Fast service and great place for lunch. The dinning area is a little small but sufficient. Good decor. Parking might be a little tough in the rush hour but worth it read more

Ordered western burgers online with curly fries and cheesy ranch curly fries. Went in and dined there. Food was ready shortly after we arrived and they brought it out to us. Great service and all the employees were very pleasant. Food was a 10/10! The restaurant was nice and clean as well. Will be back! read more

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! read more

Excellent food, fantastic service. Definitely will be back!! Great menu with a lot of items to choose from.

I came here looking for food that would bloat my stomach and put me to sleep and it did just that! I was very pleased with the portions as well as the taste and really enjoyed the home-like vibe that this restaurant had. The only thing would be that the food can get too salty and hard to finish. The owner was very friendly and you could tell that the community loves this place as well as there are drawings and such on the walls. read more

David and Winna run an efficient successful business because they pour themselves into their work, have amazing positive attitudes, obviously train their staff to take pride in a job well done and make great food. They work together like a well oiled efficient machine, not to mention providing delish great food! They are also very generous and supportive of their kid's school sending meals and goodies on a regular basis! They have integrity and I will always do business with them! Support local businesses!!! read more

You want a burger that'll fill you up with good curly fries? Come to this place, even after I got done eating I didn't feel sluggish. Food was good, customer service was good too. Highly recommend read more

Amazing place!!! Husband and wife team. So warm and inviting. We got here just before 10:30am to enjoy their breakfast omelettes and ordered their dessert of the day to go. Best breakfast in town. Will come back to try their lunch read more

Superb Food, Superb Service, Super Staff, and Awesome Value! One of the best all around offerings for a family or single diner. Highly recommend them! Try the Cajun fried pickles or any of the hot dog selections. Bring the kids too, they do a great job making sure everyone feels welcome and leaves completely satisfied. Thanks for the great meal and welcome to Fairbanks! read more

There are very few places that warm your heart your soul and your mind when you visit them. This place has amazing ambience, you can clearly tell that every detail was precisely planned, including the Mural in which you can take your picture. This is the type of restaurant you would run had you taken the initiative and placed your blood sweat and tears into your dreams. Next the food is top quality, you can clearly tell the owners take pride and enjoyment in creating the finest cuisine possible in this category of food choices. The owners kindness and attention to superior customer service is second to none. read more

While visiting Fairbanks, DW Grill & Catering had the best service we experienced! We stopped by before our last hike to grab a quick breakfast to go. The lady behind the counter was super friendly. I had a breakfast sandwich on a croissant and my friend had their breakfast dog. Both were delicious! PLUS! We got two free slices of cake for their customer appreciation! We would've gone back for lunch or dinner if we didn't have to head home that same day. So good. read more

I'm giving 3 stars because at first they really tried to take care of me. The second time I had a problem one of the cooks said "I'd rather refund and not serve you than fix it" I respect the heck out of someone who takes a stand like that and finally says "no! The customer is not always right" I'm just disappointed that I had to be that guy. I took my sandwich to the owner asking if I had received enough meat, because it was very slim especially for a $14.45 sandwich, and they told me it's always 4 ounces measured out every time. Well 4 ounces of meat on a French dip is disappointing to say the least. The owner offered to throw a little extra meat on for me but the cook made the call to refuse service and the owner backed her workers (which I say is a good sign). I later read that the burgers have good reviews but I think I may need to place a phone order if I'm ever to give it a try. To sum it up. Not enough meat, overpriced, friendly waitstaff, involved owner, bold cooks, nice atmosphere. Edit: after looking at the picture it looks like the cook who refused to serve me is also the other owner. read more

Amazing! That sums everything up! Food, service, atmosphere and everything else! The owners are very interactive with their customers. The way they greet you and talk with you, it's as if they've been friends with you forever if not family! We decided to try their special today and my oh my, it did NOT disappoint. Definitely give them a try. read more

Delicious food in a friendly atmosphere. Had the spicy guacamole burger w/tots and the cheesesteak w/curly fries. Everything was cooked and presented well. $16bucks for each and it included drinks. Will be coming back. read more

Cannot say enough good things about the service and the food! Everyone in here thanks you for coming and they are genuinely concerned with your experience. They were able to accommodate our soccer team without issue and Winna the owner is amazing. Will return! Another year, another visit to the Grill. Again they were super amazing. Even my friend Peter from Bulgaria who is negative about most things (but in a charming European way) voiced out loud that the food and experience here were great and the staff truly care about you. read more

The food was delicious. I loved the macaroni salad and potato salad. The owner was so nice and friendly. We would definitely come back and highly recommend. read more

If you're from the south, this is the only place you should go to that has authentic southern cooking. I swear I'd eat at this place over any other restaurant in town if they were open later. read more

First the bad. Do not order the DW Club sandwich here. I was hopeful that this sandwich would be good but severely disappointed when I tried it. A lunch meat and cheese sandwich can never be good when the lunch meat and cheese are low quality. Pretty sure the cheese was kraft singles, and the lunch meat was as low quality as you can find. On the side they curiously placed a few slices of sweet pickle. I am used to having a pickle spear served with a club, but the few slices of sweet pickle was a strange addition. Now the good. The bacon was nicely cooked and the only thing on the club sandwich that made it edible. The French fries were very good and the cole slaw was acceptable. It could have used some more vinegar or salt as it lacked a little flavor, but still pretty good overall. My wife had a Reuben sandwich and thought it was very good. I will try this place again in the future but I will not be ordering another club sandwich. read more

I ordered the catfish meal with tater tots and tarter sauce, what I got was several pieces of catfish that was so hard it may have been dried and not fully rehydrated before cooking, and instead of tater tots I was given curly fries and some aoli instead of tarter sauce. Worst spent $17 dollars plus ever I also tiped the server and she was the only thing good I got from my time there friendly and attentive but I will not be back anytime soon. read more

Excellent burgers and very good service. We will be back. I like it that they post customer favorites. Don't forget to get the onion rings read more

I'm from the city and am admittedly cautious about eating at any "mom-and-pop" food establishment. This restaurant won my heart and my business! Staff was professional, nice, and service was expeditious! Friendly atmosphere, and very clean restaurant! More importantly, I ordered a classic cheeseburger and curly fries ($14 total, w/drink) that was so delicious--and delicious looking--I completely forgot to snap a photo to share. Comparable to Red Robin taste, with better service. I was in and out during lunch hour in about 15 minutes. Sat down to enjoy the Alaskan art work on the walls. This is a great spot for a quick bite and some tasty lunch. Can't wait to return to try breakfast. read more

Not just awesome delicious finger licking food, but awesome friendly vibrant staff. If I lived here this would be my spot! Service was quick, got food about 3-5 minutes after ordering and they also take many phone orders (from what I could hear). Will definitely return :) read more

Visiting from California looking for something to eat and we nailed it at DW Grill! All four of our meals were excellent, the jalapeño cheese steak was ridiculous the kids loved what they had, and the owners were very cool, actually hung out with us for 10 minutes telling us her favorite places we needed to visit and sure enough some were already on our list and the others were great recommendations. Thank you DW Grill read more

I've eaten here many times, most recently this morning. I had biscuits and gravy, eggs, and bacon, and oh man was it good! I was having a pretty bad day, having just been in a car accident the night before, but this was a great start to a new day. I eat here because the staff is like family, knowing their returning customers by name, and always treating all of the customers with grade A service and respect. You can't ask for a better local food place then DW's! Please, if you're here and haven't tried this out yet, go there! So many delicious food options and I still haven't been able to try them all! The jalapeño cheesesteak is insane too if you're lucky enough to get one before they sell out of them. But my absolutely favorite part is they aren't scared to grill up eggs to put on burgers. I feel like that's how burgers are meant to be eaten! And other places when I've asked it's too much of a hassle to fry up and additional egg to go with a burger. Lame! +5* read more
