    It will only allow me to give one star or it would have been half for the food. Fish and chips fish right out of the box with batter already on it. Fry's right out of the bag. No real flavor. Unfortunately they are trying to trap the tourists that stay here and don't want to travel to grab something to eat. $25.95 for this is complete bull shit. The young server was very pleasant. I truly could have taken a taxi to McDonald's and got a filet of fish sandwich and fries for less than half the price and would have been twice as good.

    Nice "Alaskan" restaurant in the Wedgewood hotel. Relaxing atmosphere with friendly attentive wait staff. Full bar menu. Optional lounge seating for easy bar access and more laid back. Awesome antique auto museum on site. Ribeye was a delicious medium, the way I ordered it. Yukon mashed potatoes rich and naturally sweet. Asparagus was soft and had the perfect amount of bite left it in. Highly recommend. The whiskey me away drink was nice too...

    I wouldn't say I'm a breakfast snob, but I love a traditional breakfast that reminds me of going to…read moremy grandmothers and eating her home cooked farm style breakfast. With that said; Waffles and pancakes were amazing. I do like a light waffle, crispy on the outside but these were different. full of flavor, thick and fluffy and didn't taste like batter or flour. Everything was made to order and perfect. Helpings are a little bigger than I'm used to but that will be good warmed for later. The restaurant is a little outdated - but clean. The lighting is soft. At first they were not busy but as it got closer to an hour opened, they started getting busier which still was not very loud. We were seated, drinks and menu given quickly. Order taken and food provided as it was made hot - which took less than 15 minutes to get all of it. The waitress was nice and had a lovely smile. She made sure we were taken care of and we didn't feel forgotten. She did seem to be the only server, yet she seemed to be good at her job. We would definitely come back here. We got; waffle combo with over medium eggs, & reindeer sausage. French combo, and hot chocolate. Strawberry waffle combo, bacon, and sunny side up eggs.

    The BEST food in Fairbanks! I cannot express how much I love this place, from the food to the…read moreowners, 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!!

    Came here to check it out as it was really well rated on Google, but was thoroughly disappointed by…read morethe our experience here. I would not recommend it to anyone visiting Fairbanks. When we arrived, we found out that you'd need a reservation to dine in the main dining hall, so we ended up going to the Saloon side where we had to find our own seats. We sat near the pool table, and the chairs were super unstable. The staff were fine but clearly seemed busy and understaffed. It took a long time for them to bring us water and take our order. I tried flagging the waitress 2-3 times when she was passing by and felt very ignored especially as I've made eye contact with her a few times. We ended up ordering the fried seafood combo and the seafood chowder, and it ended up taking at least 20min to come out (even the soup). The dishes were all very salty and definitely needed a lot of water to go with the food. Overall, definitely not a place to go before a flight since you might not be able to get in and out very quickly, and the food was really just alright for the price. Perhaps the main dining room experience would be better but I still wouldn't recommend it given the food quality and service.

I asked her which she preferred between 2 items and instead of giving me her opinion, she told me we're going with the 1st one because I said it 1st. She also seemed annoyed when she came to give me the hot sauce I asked for. The other server was cleaning the table next to me and asked me if I wanted the hot sauce before she put it away. I actually thought my server was going to grab it from that table to give to me, thought that'd be more efficient, but I guess she needed to walk away and do other things 1st before bringing me hot sauce. -C. F. S.: the gravy is good! One of the better ones I've had in quite a bit. The chicken fried steak was crunchy even though it was drenched in sauce. Delicious! I'm surprised that a bread item (was really hoping for a biscuit) didn't come with this dish for being almost $30. - Cajun salmon Benedict: delicious! I thought the salmon was overcooked but it was perfect! Hollandaise sauce was delicious. Not sure how it's Cajun though. The marinated tomatoes were tasty too! I would eat them on their own! Yum!

The atmosphere was chill, our server was patient, and the food....was seriously fantastic. It is one thing to have food that looks good, but when it tastes even better than it looks - that's huge! I ordered the shrimp and grits and it was the best I've ever had. Perfectly flavored and just enough spice. The honey cornbread on the side was the perfect compliment. I didn't think I'd be able to finish the entire meal but I made it happen because it was that good. My friend ordered the Dunker sandwich and it was equally delicious. The au jus was perfectly flavored and the consistency was spot on. I actually ate her leftovers for dinner, and if the leftovers were delicious, you can only imagine how it was freshly served. Very happy we came in and highly recommend!
