    Huckleberry tea
    Cynthia G.

    It's a cute little location on the main strip with a cozy parking situation. The place is clean and organized and the staff very friendly. I tried the original and the dessert strawberry chocolate with a huckleberry tea. The pastry itself is sweet which is a little strange. The menu indicates hot for its original but it basically tastes like pot roast in a pastry. It was really good and the avocado based cilantro sauce was delicious. The dessert empanada had warm homemade chocolate pudding with sliced strawberries in it. It was interesting as a hot pie. The portion was happily single serving and the two made me feel satisfied which always makes me happy. The tea was definitely a sweet tea and the huckleberry was really good. I wish I would have tasted a little heat but it was still good.

    Veggie (partially eaten), Diablo (with the dot), and Cheeseburger.

    Great friendly staff and amazing food! Love the green dipping sauce. Nice touch of Spanish music always playing in the background.

    The food situation in Fairbanks is scarce but this has got to be in the top 3. Super nice, great empanadas, and very quick.

    Cool hole in the wall vibe. Server/clerk was very knowledgeable about gluten allergens. All of the…read moregluten-free items were clearly marked on the wall menu. I ended up getting some tacos and my husband got a sandwich. Both of them had really good flavor. Could tell that a lot of ingredients are made in house. Though I didn't end up buying any I did see that they had an entire Bakery case with a bunch of gluten-free baked goods like cheesecake, custard cake, and some other stuff. We really enjoyed the glass roof as the snow was just starting to melt. It was kind of cool like we were in a half melted igloo. I would definitely put it on my list if you are gluten-free.

    Did a bit of research on good spots in Fairbanks and Blue Roof Bistro came up…read more Looked like a pretty standard American food menu, so I wanted to get something I normally couldn't get back home. Landed on the BLT with salmon. The BLT actually came with a croissant as the bread, so it made it very easy to eat. Lots of bacon and the salmon went really well with the sandwich. Fries here are great too! Staff here are great! Since we came here near closing time, they actually offered us some of their leftover soup since it would have been tossed out. Definitely hate wasting food, so that offer was accepted very quickly. I didn't realize until after leaving why Blue Roof Bistro has its name. It's because...the roof is blue heh. Either way, worth the visit.
