The ambience is great here and it's well kept/clean. I do although think that the little Order Here cards are a terrible choice and shouldn't be a part of the experience. It takes away from the interaction and experience with the server and doesn't check to verify your age if you add a beverage. I could see that being an issue. And really it takes up counter space as well. Just get rid of them please! I'd never use it. Also I'd like to add that if you come in, look for a place to sit wherever Felicia is working.

The board stating the wait time was accurate. I only waited 5-10 minutes. I ordered the spenard burger and a regular cheeseburger with fries. The fries were dead cold (only drove to eat maybe 2 minutes) if I were eating in house I would have asked for new fries. The burgers were actually pretty good nothing wrong with them. The menu is kind of all of the place and a lot of reading. The staff was very nice but standing around in front with nothing to do because it was so dead in there.

The Cheddar Explosion is fantastic, but the El Pastor Burger is my absolute favorite. The flavors are incredible, and then they take it over the top with that bacon-wrapped jalapeño sitting right on top of the burger. Seriously... it's ridiculously good. My only complaint? Those bacon-wrapped jalapeños need to be on the appetizer menu! I would order them every single visit without hesitation. Juicy burgers, unique flavors, and food that's actually worth making a special trip for. If you're a burger lover and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. This place has easily earned a spot among my favorite burger joints in Alaska.

The shakes, unfortunately, were extremely watery, so we can't recommend those. Our server didn't return to check on us, and tipping at the point of sale made it tough to reward (or withhold) based on actual service. The atmosphere, though, was excellent and made the experience more enjoyable overall.

After perusing the few tables that had people eating burgers, decided to go with the wrap option, not wanting a loaf of bread surrounding my burger!

Either that or common sense took a vacation from the cold in Anchorage. Cashier was very helpful despite my clown like behavior. KETO Burger!!! Very pleasing to the eye, wrapped in a generous amount of crunchy iceberg,boom, could have used more sauce, but I'm a sauce kind of clown, plenty to get from the condiment bar. Nice crunchy bacon, boom, she said mustard was absent had to get my own. Over all not bad, certainly not the best in Anchorage like a previous reviewer, that was obviously may or may not be connected to the restaurant .... Hmm what am I some kind of a clown? A few tips to improve the burger, add on the tomato pickles and onions. Also burn a brand into the lettuce like the buns, would be way cool. And don't be afraid to sauce it up, some of us Keto types need a lot of taste to combat the boring taste of iceberg. Take heed, the clown has spoken,

You betcha. 3 piece, all dark, side of mashed potatoes and gravy, and cup of their chowder (on a side note, I dare say that all chowder in Anchorage is outstanding!!!). Loved the fried chicken. Delicious. Beautifully fried. I probably could've put a couple dabs of hot sauce but that's only because I like a little heat. Mashed potatoes and gravy (Alaska potatoes are also outstanding!!!) hit the spot. Chowder was so good : super creamy and loaded with seafood and potatoes. Maybe I should've order a small bucket to take back home with me. Both the service and the place was warm and friendly. Sufficed to say, I had a most enjoyable lunch here.
