This was probably top 3 restaurants on the whole trip.. joint is awesome! This place was recommended by 3 different locals when I asked where to go for oysters. Walking in.... It's pretty small with a large circular bar and many tables, VERY crowded. It's pilot themed and been around for many years/ opening hours 10am-2:30am! The menu is pretty large and mainly seafood focused and you have to get the French Onion Soup. Started with some oysters and they were just dynamite, best I've ever had. Next, the famed French Onion did not disappoint. Just wanted appetizers and went to Paris Club for a steak! Can't wait to come back.. prices very reasonable. MUST TRY JOINT/ Talk Later read more

We came in for lunch with our toddler and had the most amazing service- so friendly, so attentive... had the halibut sandwich special and it was divine. Can't wait to come back! read more

The halibut "burger" was SO flakey and delicious. We split the the red crab Sammy and the halibut burger. To Die for!!! And the Blueberry Mohito from Denali Spirits......I want to take a case back to Hawaii!!!! Sat at the Cook's bar and was amazed at their proficiency!!! Love, love, love!!!! read more

F Street Station reportedly has the best fish and chips in town. That was great for my wife who ordered that and really loved it so, it's probably good for you too if that's what you're looking for. I went along to support her in this endeavor, but I'm a vegetarian and the offerings for me are limited. They have one vegetarian item on the menu, a pasta...I'd been a bit over-pastad on this trip so I didn't want it. I would have loved it if the French Onion Soup was vegetarian (but it wasn't) so I ended up ordering bread. Hurrah! And availing myself of their famous (and free) carve your own slices of Tillamook cheese station, despite the warning sign stating the cheese was for display purposes only. So the main plus for me here is that I got to see my wife really enjoy her meal! Plus, seated at the bar (it's a pub so first come first serve, every person for themselves seating) the bartender (and our server) was really nice. The Bread I ordered was a mediocre baguette...I was happy to have it to concoct myself a cheese sandwich from the slices I carved myself. (I mean free cheese ups any place a star in my book.) Fries and garlic bread were also available. I also got the house cabernet to drink. It was poured from the end of a big bottle and tasted like it may have been open for a couple of days. They don't have a cocktail menu but they do have a full bar available (and nicer wines) so know what you want going in. For me this was a 2 or 3 star experience with very limited options for vegetarians, and what I got wasn't great...but because my wife thought the fish and chips was just about the best she'd ever had, I'm giving a four for the benefit of the doubt. read more

Never disappointed here. During busy meal times you may have to wait for a table (high tops with barstools) or take a seat at the bar but it's so worth it. It is a bar that serves food but don't let that concern you as it relates to the food. You won't get better beer battered halibut in Anchorage. While some bars have cheap and barely drinkable wine, this one does not. They have a nice selection of Washington, Oregon and California wines reasonably priced by the glass and bottle. This place has an aviation theme and TV's in case you're looking f a game. Go see for yourself and enjoy. read more

Came in for lunch and got the halibut and chips and the French onion soup. Both were great. Fish was fresh and fries were good. The fish were basically like little nugget size though so while 10 pieces sounds like a lot, it's not super big. However a half of order of the halibut and chips plus a cup of the French onion would be the perfect size for a solid lunch. Service was prompt. Paid street parking. Would go back again for lunch. read more

Visit for lunch, sat at the bar as there was a good crowd. Good location, very nice and welcoming. Quick friendly greeting and employee helpful in answering questions and providing suggestions. Started with shrimp gumbo- The the halibut special of the day and fish and chips. Both were very good, tasty and fresh. Fries were hot good stuff. read more

The waitress there was incredibly rude. I went there, and I was waiting for three others. Since I was starving and my guests were taking a while, I told the waitress that I was just going to go ahead and order and she refused to serve me saying that other people have been waiting for the table. I apologized and I thanked her, and I reconfirmed that she refused to serve me, and she said she was not going to serve me sitting at the table, that I would have to go to the bar. It felt quite a bit racist actually. She was just so cold and hostile towards me even no matter how apologetic and nice I was so I left. I would not want someone with an attitude that nasty to serve me. She was never even nice from the moment I walked in. read more

Halibut Cheeks and Shrimp Gumbo. The service was amazing and the food was even better. The halibut cheeks were cook to perfection, thin seasoned crispy crust paired perfectly with homemade tartar sauce. The Gumbo tasted like it came out of a New Orleans fine dining establishment. It was perfect. read more

This is the worst place I've been to in the past year. Rude staff, mediocre food, very dirty bathroom.

Great beers and great food. We had the clams which were cleaned well (only once did I get a sand crunch) and seasoned beautifully. Not to mention for the price, it was a lot of steamers. The calamari was fried perfectly so the breading was crisp but the octopus was still tender and easily chewable. Fun place to hang out at but be ready, it is a busy place and if you want food, there will likely be a wait. 1 hour to get our food from ordering, however we were happy and entertained the whole time. read more

Simple, fun and local is how I'd describe F Street Station. It definitely has it's own vibe and you'll either love it or you'll hate it but it's where you'll find many of the locals hanging out. Beer is served from Mason jars which keeps it simple and fun. The place gets pretty busy in the evenings with standing room only sometimes. Sit at the bar and you'll have some engaging conversations with the ladies at the bar. They tell it how it is without a filter and I love it. They have a simple menu with a variety of appetizers, sandwiches, salads and entrees. In my opinion they have the BEST halibut 'n chips in town. So delicious. There's a Texas sized portion or the Alaska sized portion depending on how hungry you are. There's often a daily special as well listed on the chalk board on the back wall. Give it a try but if it's not your vibe that's okay...there's other places to enjoy in town. read more

Worst experience I've had and we had only sat down for 2 minutes. My family and I were looking for a place to eat and we came across this place, so we grabbed a seat and waited to order. Once the waitress came, we all knew she was a bitter old woman because she expected our orders to be said immediately when it was our first time being there. She then left and proceeded to come around a second time, and when we didn't not have orders ready then, she said "okay I guess I'll come back in an hour or two." Probably the rudest I've ever been treated while here visiting in Alaska. Doesn't help that we are also POC's. And even their blackboard had some very unsavory things to say. And looking online this isn't the first incident. Definitely do not recommend and wish for the closure of this place. Or at least a change in management and staff. read more

There's no control of seating, a single person can hold a table for other visitors. The food is good but it's typical tourist Alaska customer service. Not a great spot for family gatherings with kiddos since they have limited seating at tables and the they fill up before the bar seating g does. Expect to wait should you try this place out, and prepare to stand around waiting since there is no actual waiting area. read more

Still the best restaurant/bar in town. A good mix of locals and tourists, where everybody seems to be happy. This was a return visit for us. We visited this location every day during our visit to Anchorage. Be prepared to wait as the place is packed most of the time. The grilled halibut sandwich is amazing. We also had the salmon spread, fresh oysters, steamed clams, and fried calamari. The beer is always cold. The service is always great. We will return. Note: they do not offer to go orders, but you can take leftovers. read more

F Street Station - Grilled Halibut Sandwich - American Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

This place is the absolute worst. The customer service is terrible, as is the staff in general. If you are not a regular, you will wait forever and be treated like dirt when you are finally greeted. The older blonde lady who is a daytime server is one of the main problems here, not that the bar tenders are not just as bad. Extremely poor attitudes, no attention to detail, and the food is always mediocre at best. Just this alone would stop me from going back but that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this place. Trust me when I say these people are terrible human beings, and I'm not even referring to their politics. I managed a business near them and they were the worst neighbors you could have. Their employees would take our only parking spot (their ownership refused to help with this,) their trash was constantly overflowing and stinking up the area (attracting animals as well) and they have no problem boss hogging the entire alleyway behind their business with reckless abandon, even though it is a communal area for multiple businesses. Boyfriends of their bar staff would routinely park in our parking area, blaring the music, while drinking and smoking, only to be complete jerks to our staff when asking them to leave. From front to back, these people are the worst and you should really think long and hard before giving them your money. read more

Service from the bartenders is atrocious. Food is decent and the cooks are fantastic. The whole vibe be is spoiled by those lazy bartenders. Come on F Street, do better. read more

It's been 4 years since my first review so I figured I'd give you an update. I've been about 100 times since then & thats no joke!! This place has incredible food at amazing prices. The servers are amazing, all beautiful women and I love that! They are quick on their feet and offer great service with a smile! Depending on the day and time it can be tough to get in here though. Friday between 6-9pm ?! You'll be standing and waiting for a table. But gosh is it worth the wait. Every day they offer a lunch and dinner special. Some of my favorites to note are the soups! Clam chowder, potato bacon and of course the signature French onion. Which NO one in Anchorage comes close too. Their Friday French Dip lunch special is a favorite but get there early (opening @ 11am) (for kitchen) because they will sell out of their specials! I'll add some photos of the great meals I've had over the past 4 years. Thanks for always serving up a good time and great food !!! read more

F Street Station - Grilled Chicken Sandwich - American Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

When you get right down to it, I'm a pretty simple guy. While I can appreciate a virtuoso performance on the plate, all I really need is good food and drink. F Street really takes style over substance to heart. - Drafts are served in mason jars. - Food is placed on the plate by cooks and servers, not food artists. - And, of course, there's the communal 25 pound block of cheddar. That's not just a euphemism: there's a massive block of cheese sitting on the bar, and patrons are welcome to shave off a piece. Everyone seems to understand that they should place the plastic wrap back on top of the cheese when they're done. The cheese is not the highlight of the experience, but it is pretty cool. The bartender was quick with our drinks. The Moscow Mule was strong, and of course they have a nice compliment of beers from Alaska. She also told us that the salmon was fresh today. While they wouldn't make a salmon sandwich (though they do have a halibut sandwich), they did serve it on a salad. The salmon was phenomenal...there's nothing quite like freshly caught, freshly baked salmon from Alaska. The rest of the salad? The Caesar dressing is excellent, but the rest of the salad is nothing special. That's not a problem when the salmon is this good. I liked it so much that I ordered a salad to go. It was then that I learned that they don't, technically, do carry out. They will bring you the food you want on a plate, with styrofoam boxes, and you have to box it up yourself. Not a big deal, but not exactly a selling point. It was a Saturday night, and it was busy, but the service was great. And, there was a line out the door of people waiting to be seated. They know they have a good thing here. No frills, but who cares when the food and service is that good? read more

Was staying at Hilton next to F Street Station. Stopped in first day to grab some food and a drink. The atmosphere was great service was fantastic. Great to see filled with locals not a tourist bar. Food exceeded expectations Halibut was great. Food was so good went everyday in the trip to this location to try halibut different wats from menu it daily specials. The soup from the shrimp gumbo to the French onion was fantastic. Of course had to have some cheese on the bar. read more

We came in at 11AM on a Sunday. Already packed. We sat at the right side bar and watched the chefs work their magic. If you're a foodie and enjoy watching good chefs work, I highly recommend this. The food takes a while to come out when it's busy here, but it's well worth the wait.We heard one of the chefs mention to a customer that they prefer that the food comes out good rather than fast. I agree. This is the second time we've been here in the last few days. Everything we tried was very very good. I'm sure everything else is good as well. Place fills up quickly so get here early. Good fair prices. I highly recommend F Street Station. 4.5 stars. read more

This was fine - honestly very underwhelming. You walk in and it doesn't say to seat yourself, but you have to, which you realize after not being greeted after a while. I wasn't the only person who appeared confused when they walked in, which was comforting - it looks like a mix of regulars and tourists come in. I sat at the bar, and the smell from the cleaning rags is very unpleasant and kind of overpowering. The bartenders are super nice once you get their attention, which is hard to do since they're busy. I had a Texas-sized portion of halibut and was unpleasantly surprised at how dry it was, given the reviews, but the fries were pretty good. The fish and chips are priced at market price, which that day was $13, and that seemed reasonable enough. I think the reviews just let me to expect a more exciting experience. read more

F Street Station is a popular restaurant/bar in Anchorage. If the place is full, you'll have to wait for an empty table. Sit anywhere that is available. We got bar seats. The line cooks are super hardworking. We had the calamari, king salmon salad, and grilled halibut salad. Everything was good. I especially liked the cranberry vingette dressing on my salad. Service can be a bit slow if the place is packed. read more

Great place! Order the Marietta Old Vine Red. Have a slice of cheese and the reindeer sausage.

Fun place! Super good oysters and the Halibut was excellent and a nice value too. Lots of beer choices both draft and bottle. The French Onion soup was outstanding and delicious. Service was outstanding and even better is the bar is owned by a former submarine sailor. Great aviation ambiance too. Great choice. read more

Was SO impressed with the quality of the food at this bar. I don't drink so the bar scene is not my favorite. Needed dinner and this was right next to my hotel. Halibut sandwich and a side salad were wonderful! I'm real picky about fish but this was great! And a simple salad with flavorful dressing rounded it out. read more

Finally getting around to reviewing this place. We visited around labor day and this spot was recommended by our BNB host. We somehow got a seat at the bar after someone leaving offered it to us. Its pretty rowdy and busy and no one tells you where to sit, so you need to fend for yourself. I had the best fried oysters of my life here. The food comes out hot and fresh. But be prepared as food does come out a bit slow, its made to order. Overall the food is filling and its a good spot to people watch as well. We would definitely be back next time we visit the area. read more

Dying here in October 2019 and for a dive bar, it had pretty good food. I had the halibut sandwich that was pretty decent, especially for the price. But really you come here for the bar scene. It was a very lively bar with reasonably priced drinks. We had a party of 15 and had a great time. read more

Was not super crowded probably due to the freezing rain! Love the cheese block on the corner of the bar! Waitress was prompt and took our drink order. When she came back we both ordered the Halibut sandwich, I swapped French onion soup for fries, and was glad I did! Best French onion soup I have had in while. Good piece of halibut, bun was nothing to write about. Overall good experience. I would visit again! read more

I stopped here for lunch. After reading a few yelp reviews about the customer service, I was a bit hesitant. But glad I decided to go. The food was excellent. I had the grilled halibut sandwich and soup of the day (salmon and corn chowder). It took a bit long for the food to come. But I wasn't in a rush. The place was packed with mainly local. Everyone here was friendly and welcoming. I'm going to come back here again! read more

My favorite stop in town, great food, bit of a pilots bar, and the house of the holy cheese block!

Everything on the menu is so good! Love the Benedict on the weekends! Tough to get a table occasionally, but worth the wait.

I came into this restaurant over the weekend a while back it was a busy as heck setting with outstanding bartenders and servers, all seemed to be hardworking women. This place was packed but these women were professionals it seemed. I am only giving this place two stars because a certain cook in particular {Loni} was completely incompetent with not only making the food, but his foul language, eating in front of patrons, not changing his gloves, and it became clear he was incoherent to some degree. He was screaming obscenities and then began to scream at customers and the wait staff to "Hurry the F up and order food." I watched him yell at a fellow employee and he began trying to argue with her. I looked around and a lot of the other patrons were discombobulated as well trying to figure out why someone would act this way. This man should be fired, he is not fit for a "front of house position" or any position at all with this disturbing and not food safe or even people safe behavior. To the bartenders and servers of F St, I thank you. read more

March 30th, 2024 My wife asked me to take her here today. It was about 1:45 on Saturday, and we both had the Beer Battered Halibut with fries. Was very delicious! Nice place to have a meal! Parking was free. Thank you, F St. Station! read more
