    Staying at the Lakefront Hotel and hit the Fancy Moose for a quick dinner. Fantastic view of the lake and Merril Field in a bright lounge. Service was exceptional to include recommending a local take on the Old Fashion that was great. Fresh wild salmon was good too. You pay Anchorage prices, but it was worth it.

    Food- meh. Burger seemed like from a frozen box, fries tasted reheated, quesadillas was meh- didn't have firm chicken chunks. Service- friendly but SLOW AS MOLASSES! One waitress FOR THE ENTITE ROOM. Ridiculous! Had to flag her down to get our order and check. Noise- loud, it's a bar. View- awesome! Not going back.

    You can't go to Anchorage without stopping in at the Fancy Moose( among the several names it has had since I started annual fishing trips & numerous business trips before retirement, for a really cold beer and their amazing Halibut & Chips! It's worth the trip and while I have never eaten any other entree in my 25 or so times there, I can say the selection of beer is first rate and the Halibut outstanding!

    We came down to eat at this restaurant because it was in the hotel that we were staying at and seems like a busy place with an older crowd. You have a good view, the food was OK I was expecting a little bit more in taste. We both had halibut burgers and I was still hungry so I had halibut Thai. The service was kind of slow and it took the waitress awhile to check if we needed refills.

    Patio seating in the bar is great for watch the float planes landing and taking off. This is why we were there. Service is a little slow but honestly once service is open the patio is full. The servers weren't the friendliest either. So the stars are for atmosphere. We ordered a couple of appetizers and drinks for an hour of entertainment. Crab and artichoke dip was pretty tasty and the shrimp cocktail was exactly what was expected.

    The food was surprisingly good. Watching the planes was fun. As stated in all of the other reviews, the service is slow. They had 3 wait staff serving The Deck and the inside of the Fancy Moose looking over the deck. They were all working very hard. My son was impressed by the sweet and sour halibut, I enjoyed the the Denali dip, and my wife enjoyed her rueben. The fries were crispy and hot. If you aren't in a hurry, a good spot to eat.

    Been here 30 times over 7 years. Wait time is often longer than most places. Seems they never have enough help. The food is good, had a large sampling of menu options. No complaints there. Price is in line. View of lake Hood is awesome. Love watching the planes making water landings. Very convenient to stay here when flying out. Airport shuttle runs every thirty minutes. My only complaint is wait times. You can easily sit at the bar 5-10 minutes while bar tender runs back and forth while never being acknowledged as was the case today. 10 minutes before I had to just yell that I wanted a menu and a beer. Halibut tacos were great.

    Cobb salad -  brown avocado and crab (fluff)? Only $31 .  No thank you .

    Gold Rush liquor has been purchased by the parent company that also owns Brown Jug. As a result,…read moretheir bush order department no longer exists. Instead of continuing to monitor the old bush orders email address and notifying customers of this change, they allowed it to become an email black hole. After my second order attempt in months, I called them only to be told by a Brown Jug employee that "Gold Rush was supposed to notify their customers". Further, although it seemed like they were able to get into the email account after that, and I sent updated copies of my license and liquor permit, they apparently lack the capability to provide a pre-shipping subtotal... either that, or they just decided my request was unreasonable and they don't want to do business with me any more. I might never find out; they still haven't called me back, and I'd sooner order from someone else. Problem is, it looks like Liquor Stores USA North is attempting to buy up all the liquor stores in Anchorage, so you'll soon not have a choice but to put up with their bullshit.

    Gold Rush Liquor is a giant space of alcohol. Booze as far as the eye could see…read more Is it fancy? No, but it also isn't daunting. Clearly labeled sections make finding your spirit of choice a breeze and the low shelves makes finding people even easier. My friends split up upon entering but keeping track of each other was simple enough. And the selection! Wow. I saw alcohol here that I can't find anywhere. I immediately regretted not having more time in Anchorage for surely I'd pick up more. Everyone was so friendly here too! Employees were polite but not over bearing. The only downside is the price. We were on a hunt so we went here and then immediately to other stores. We were surprised to find identical product (same brand, type, size) $10 cheaper elsewhere. For the hard to find stuff Gold Rush is the spot, but for everything else there's cheaper elsewhere.
