The best mushroom burger I've ever had, amazing service and the inside feels is unique and pleasant. My favorite restaurant in Wasilla hands down.

Although casual they are trying to show customers what upscale can be. Pot Stickers were a good starter. The Volcano Chicken was a bit too much on the hot sauce. Lots of Risotto to choose from. Expect this restaurant will do very well if people can find it.

I ordered a skillet dish thinking I'd get a skillet but it was delivered on a plate. Drinks never ran empty. Good for a quick bite to eat for dine in. Was cashed out as quickly.

I don't know how I could give this place higher praise after the incredibly tasty meal we were served. We started with the Calamari and also the Empanadas for the table. I've had Empanadas at least 40-50 different times and locations all over the world No joke these were the tastiest ones I have ever had. I crispy initial bite followed by a soft warm/hot filling that was packed with goodness The green sauce was so good I forgot to try the whiter sauce. I would literally come back just for these as they were out of the world delicious. The calamari was tasty and prepared well not over cooked or undercooked. The chef prepared them well but my focus was on the Empanadas so I hardly ate any Calamari. Then came the entrees and I was blown away at the Seafood Linguini. The scallops & , shrimp-were perfectly cooked in a rich and creamy sauce that was Devine. It struck the perfect balance of a delicious garlic, buttery goodness with the cream. Just the right amount of sauce that every bite was covered in sauce but somehow it packed a punch of flavor in every bite. I wish tomorrow wasn't my last day in Wasilla before heading home because I could come to this place everyday I was so good. Now for the final treat, the view. Nestled on a hill overlooking this beautiful lake with mountains in the background I'm struggling to paint a picture worthy of that view. When I first arrived I thought to myself this place must survive purely on the views given the bad reviews. Not at all, even though I would put this view as my top 2-3 ever at a restaurant ( Compared to a Michelin restaurant in Cannes France overlooking the Ocean, a restaurant at the top of a mountain in Keystone Colorado, and this place all breathtaking. Having said that, I actually think the food was better than the view if that's possible. Next time I make it back to Alaska, this place will be my first stop for certain. I sure hope when I make it back in a year or two it's performing at this level because this was an experience I won't soon forget. If you're on the fence based on reviews, do yourself a favor and at least try the Empanadas or Seafood Linguini. These are unforgettable!

We recently celebrated a special occasion at Chop House and honestly... we were kicking ourselves…read morefor waiting so long to try it! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt elevated but still welcoming, perfect for a celebration. The setting by the lake adds such a beautiful touch, even in the winter and the whole experience just felt a little extra special. The menu has something for everyone, from incredible steaks to fresh seafood, and you can really tell they focus on quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the portions were generous without feeling overdone. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive, which made the evening even more enjoyable. This is definitely a place we'll be coming back to and recommending to friends and family. If you've been thinking about trying it, don't wait like we did... it's absolutely worth it!

I've been drooling over Tug Bar's "Overboard Bloodys," since at least 2022…read more Guess who finally made it to Settlers Bay, with the fam in tow, to indulge?! :) I came for the Overboard Bloody ($65) but had to try their buffet breakfast first. It was actually pretty great, for a bar buffet. The sole waitress/bartender was super sweet. She seemed to appreciate that we paid with cash. We're a colored neurodivergent family. We stick out like a sore thumb. I kinda expect to be treated differently, (especially in the sticks) but we weren't, here :) Tug's buffet breakfast was better than any hotel buffet breaky, that's for sure! They had french toast sticks, blueberry pancakes, different protein options, biscuits and gravy etc. No soda on tap, only cans. No strips or chicken nuggets here. I kinda figured and we planned to stop elsewhere for my son's eats (ARFID eater). Apparently, there are people who make reservations JUST for the overboard bloody's, so arriving at 11am (they opened at 10am), still had us a waiting a good 30-40min for ours. It was worth it! Tug Bar changes the toppings each week. This week was insane! Candy + an entire chicken, pork chop, lobster tail, sandwich, pretzel etc. see the photo and vid. I didn't need help drinking it, but of course I had my family help me eat it. We had lots of leftovers to take home. I can't wait to return one day! They have a sweet patio area!

It's located quite a ways down in the knik area, if you are not looking for it..you might miss it. The outside doesn't quite give you that welcoming vibe but thanks to fb..figured we suck it up and try it. They always promote these amazing food specials and the pictures are drool worthy..so yeah it piqued my curiosity. The interior is definitely surprising. It's nice, humble, warm, and yeah..welcoming. The staff is very pleasant and greets you immediately upon entering. This place has a full bar..so drinks helps ease that uncertainty for sure. The food..the food is delicious! We ordered the ribs special and it comes with all the fixings (roll, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked beans) and it's a lot of food for a great price. They also have a slow smoked prime rib special offered that night as well (Saturday). The food is seriously fire..best smoked ribs I have had since living in Texas. It's definitely worth stopping in for the food. The drinks are good and strong! Perfect! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend if you are looking for good BBQ and yummy classic take on American dining.

I wouldn't recommend coming here for the food but if you're looking for an aesthetic upbeat restaurant look no further.

Prices seem a little high, but that's normal for AK and since it's an out of the way spot. Serving sizes seem good though. Really love the Jimmy Buffet feel.

However we are still waiting halfway through our meal for napkins and silverware, but they are very busy and were very apologetic. Still happy faces with being so busy.
