    I read online about how great this place is and how wonderful the service and especially good the biscuits and gravy is. We arrive and the line of folks waiting for seating is quite long and disorganized. Eventually someone comes out and tells everyone to all their name to the list of people that is accumulating. Hmm... this does not bode well. We wait about a half hour for our name to be called. When we are finally seating or drinks come promptly, but then we are forgotten for over 10 minutes. No one mentions them being out of anything. And of course, they're out of the one thing I want. Now I'm pissed. And I'm hearing they say its going to be about a 45 minute wait. We're starving. I should also mention, I am an VERY patient person. But as a basic standard, I do expect restaurant staff to communicate regarding delays and if they are out of things. Send help. I don't know if we are ever going to eat. Look for the skeletons setting toward the back of the restaurant. ‐‐----------------- Update: Upgrading from 1 star to 1.5 since we finally ate. The food was fine. I see why everything takes so long- way too much time on presentation for diner food. It was fine, but absolutely not worth the wait. Like at all. It was a chef salad, and a french toast not a work of art. These things should not involve a greater than one hour wait. And they forgot my salad dressing, so I had to track down the waitress to request it. Dear lord, help me. Cannot recommend.

    Not much to look at. We'll see

    This restaurant is hidden in a corner of a local mall. It was packed. We waited for 30 minutes to be served and no one took an order. Coffee was good. Local hang out. Me wearing Cal hat. Coincidence? Maybe. Ambience C+

    Nice old school dinner style place with oldies but goodies playing. Food is a bit above average.

    This is the 2nd time I've eaten at Gingers. Pros: Portions are large, food is good, and service was fast. I've only ever eaten their breakfast items, but I'm sure their lunch is also tasty. From experience, I can definitely recommend the skillets, steak and eggs, and the pancakes. Probably will be my go to spot for breakfast in Soldotna. Cons: Nothing really except for maybe the coffee. I'm used to the taste of Kaladi Brothers, so the coffee was just meh. Maybe it wasn't fresh ‍, but it was caffeine and warm, so it was still palatable.

    Awesome service, clam chowder bread bowl was the best we've eaten.. bread was nice n toasted n chower was nice an hot.. every spoonful was tasteful

    Side view of the Garbage Omelet.

    THE GARBAGE OMELET with real Hollandaise and Sour Dough toast. A ton of eggs, perfect Hollandaise, cheeses, ham, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, spinach, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, and onions. Made for splitting. However big you think it is, it's BIGGER. PROBABLY THE BEST OMELET IN THE WORLD. Soldotna, Alaska. GINGER'S RESTAURANT. *****/*****.

    The breakfast here is absolutely incredible, homemade gravy, juicy burgers, and crispy frys. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    It was our first visit to Ginger's. It was a busy time but not much of a wait. The food was excellent and we will be going back for sure.

    The reindeer skillet was amazing. The omelets were huge and looked good. I will try them on my next visit.

    Amazing place! Friendly staff, great vibe, delicious food. I recommend the root wedges as an…read moreappetizer and for the entree I got seared tuna which was absolutely fantastic. Perfect for date night. Will absolutely be going back!!

    Have lived and / or worked in Kenai for many years. Always wanted to try The Flats Bistro…read more Before the review, a little history about me. Like a lot of people, I started working in restaurants from the age of 15. I was fortunate enough to work up high enough to train as an Executive Chef. I also was a Server and Bartender as part of my training so I appreciate the work restaurant staff perform. I always tip very well, even when the food or drink delivery is slow because I know it isn't the Servers fault on most occasions. The review: so sad to write this review, but this is Truth! ....After waiting almost 1 hr and 10 minutes (we had a reservation), for the first time ever in my life, I paid for our drinks and left. The menu looked awesome, I was excited to try the food. But we should have known the minute we walked in when we weren't acknowledged that either management or crew training was lacking. We were early for our reservation and waited patiently to be recognized but that did not happen. We stepped up and let the two people know we were early and would be happy to sit at the bar to wait. The staff talked and then seated us at our two-top. To be fair, let me also mention that my wife has been a Server for the majority of her life in the US and Caribbean. We both love and appreciate what Servers persevere through. So, we are seated and water is poured immediately. Cool. Then quite a delay for a server for drinks. She shows up, takes the order but it is approximately 15 minutes before we get our drinks. I am looking around at this not so large place where a lot of personnel are moving but nothing seems coordinated. I notice an 8-top to my right that has drinks and appetizer plates (never saw food) sitting and looking around. They are my baseline.... So we finally get the glass of wine and beer and are asked if we are ready to order. We know the gig....order now! So we order the Caesar salad, Beets, and 1/2 dozen oysters as our appetizer and our two entrees, thinking that this will help. We wait patiently (the restaurant was perhaps 70% occupancy in the middle of prime Salmon fishing) but I defer back to the statement that although people were moving a lot... not a lot seemed to be happening. After one hour and 6 minutes, we received on additional water fill up and one beer. The 8-top still had not received food. The 4 guys to my right were telling jokes and passing time but no food or extra drinks. After both of us took bathroom breaks, we decided to leave. We went to the Hostess station (which may also be their cashout station?), and asked for our tab. Miraculously, as we were pulling out cash for our drinks, the Server walks out with my oysters and the salad. She recognized that we were paying out and stated the restaurant was "backed up with orders". Give me a f$&@&$@ break. Really!!!! We paid, went to my local standby at Louie's Backdoor, got a full order of Halibut Fish'nchips with piping hot delivery in about 7 minutes. I have never left a bad review. I typically try to praise both the quality of Service and food. Not so in this case. I will never step foot in this place again and will tell all locals not to waste their time. If I could leave a less than 1-star I would.
