    The brisket was awesome. The biscuits were tender and flaky The service was fast and it's a family run restaurant. And the Christmas tree is nice.

    Special Steak fingers and eggs Hash Browns Potatoes and sourdough toast

    Ok so I love the food, ambiance, and presentation of Harleys plates! Food is always cooked well the sourdough is made in house and delicious, great value for portion size in my opinion and consistently delicious not a hit or miss spot. Also lots of hot sauce options available right at the table- staff are quick overall attentive to needs of all tables they are running, and i cant help but keep this place in a rotation. At least twice a month sometimes more. The only reason that i cant give 5 stars is pretty serious 7 out of the last 10 times myself and/or my family have gone we have been over charged for things we did not order and EVERY TIME it is with a very specific wait person. I will not call them out by name here but what i will say is it is a specific issue only happening with this particular person we are ordering with every time it happens - I ALWAYS check my receipt for actual charges before signing and ask for a receipt when i leave because it is a constant issue. We are talking about being charged 4 coffees when there is only 1 at the table- even being charged 30+ dollars for a mug? When confronted about the false charge to our tab it's always a " i hit the wrong button" or just an eye roll and quick fix response. If we didn't like the food so much we would never be back so i do hope that everyone is aware to ALWAYS check the tab for accuracy and if it gets addressed by everyone that is targeted hopefully this person will stop doing it.

    We went for lunch and it was amazing. The food was delicious, the server was very knowledgeable and friendly and it was very clean. A spot to recommend.

    Can't believe I've never come here before! Delicious Comfort food! Good menu selection for breakfast as we were craving brunch! Perfect portions for the price. Service was prompt and friendly. Very clean, organized space, with cute dining tables and booths. Digging the dim lighting from the old "Thyme" looking light fixtures.

    The food was amazing. Possibly the first time i ate everything on the plate. The service was decent they were nice and polite and asked if everything good, and the place was decently quiet and clean asides from a TV and a few chatters from the back. But overall this is a great experience.

    Heart of the Lion ( was the fried steak)

    We have Always passed by this place not sure why ? It is the Best Hole in the wall place in Anchorage! It sounds American but it is definitely Spanish influenced. We have been looking for a great breakfast place since Granny B went missing and this is the spot. Not only do they have the best Chicken Fried Steak but they have 4 different kinds of them. The service was on point and the coffee was bold and strong. Huevos Rancheros with chorizo was sooo savory it made my mouth water just by looking at it. This is our new go to for breakfast with the place making you feel right at home every time you come. Thank you Guys for making this a Que bueno desayuno café para mi esposo y yo!

    I haven't dined inside in a few years. I do recall Harley's having their beautiful coffee mugs for sale. I recently ordered brunch by way of Doordash and wow, wow, wow! Harleys definitely exceeded our expectations. Their brisket breakfast is a must! So much meat, tender and flavorful. Their biscuits and gravy were the best we've had to date. The biscuit tasted fresh out of the oven. The gravy was perfect in consistency and taste. Harleys hot wings were surprisingly delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our fresh chicken salads. Highly recommend Harleys.

    Steak Fingers

    Walked in around 8 AM to a ghost town A couple of customers were already seated but no employees in site. Sat around in the waiting area reading the menu for a couple of minutes I got up and helped myself to a table and *POOF* employees showed up from nowhere. Now the food Steak fingers were 4/5 It started great but got saltier as I ate but the white gravy on the side helped it out edges were how I wanted them. Everything on the plate worked well together Service 4/5 Food 4/5 Overall 4/5 Will be back

    Really solid "hole in the wall" diner in Midtown. First time visitor to Anchorage, and saw this place along the way. The coffee was solid and they kept bringing in often. The pancake special with bacon between the cakes was very large, and I really couldn't finish. For a diner, they do a nice job and it was comfortably busy. Def. would return if I'm in town again.

    Meh food, not good service. It filled the belly, but pretty greasy and not a whole lot of flavor.

    One of my favorite bakeries I look forward to going to when I visit Anchorage. The variety of…read morepastries breads, soups and sandwich they have always look mouthwatering. It's just a cute place to vibe at and be around the community.There is a coffee shop, plant shop, juice shop and small market in the same building which makes it worth the stop. The seasonal ginger bread chia tea from the coffee shop is like Christmas in your mouth. The turkey sandwich is like thanksgiving with cranberry sauce and pecans. The sweet potato burban cupcake was actually to die for. The cake was moist with a carm filling of pecans and bourbon topped with a light cream cheese frosting. I'm never disappointed with fire island. A jem in anchorage.

The sausage was good though, and a bit salty, which might have balanced the seasoning in this item but the chunks were too few and big to be balanced. - messy egg salad sandwich: a lot of dill, heavy on the pickled flavor, and good red onion crunch. This was just ok. It looked better than it tasted, unless you're a fan of dill. Mainly got this sandwich to try their bread but the bread was an afterthought. - maple rhubarb muffin: hard pass. Can't taste the rhubarb and barely any maple. The bottom also was more burnt than anything. It seems they may have over mixed their batter, muffin didn't have a tender crumb.

This establishment has been featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins & Dives (see photo) and is very inclusive which was super cool. You can write on the wall about your visit which I found to be fun and inviting. I had the House Omelette which was surprisingly flavorful and excellent. It was exactly what I was looking forward to for breakfast. I tried some of the chicken from Crazy Uncle and was amazing! I was so surprised and delighted as was the rest of my party.

Leer (sorry if I'm spelling that wrong!) has been absolutely amazing each time--so kind and welcoming--and the same goes for the other cashiers and cooks. The whole team creates such a positive vibe from the moment you walk in. My go-to meal? The chicken, mac & cheese, and waffle loaded with cookie butter, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. On my very first visit, they asked what flavors I liked, and I told them "sweet and savory"--and they nailed it. Ever since then, it's been my regular. I always think about trying something new, but I can't help coming back for that combo--it's just that good. Today, Leer mentioned they were exploring opening new locations, and I told her Fort Worth would absolutely love a place like this. With the owner being a veteran and Fort Worth having such a strong military community, I know people there would rally behind it. We love supporting our own. Also, if you really listen, the music playing in the background is all original--and every track tells a story about the restaurant's culture, energy, and mission. That level of intention just makes the experience even more special. All in all: great people, great food, great energy. Hopefully we'll meet again in Fort Worth! Editing to add a BIG shoutout to the man running the window that food gets picked up from. I saw him let a customer (who looked like he was wearing a kufi) know that the Mac n cheese was cooked in bacon grease. The customer was unaware of this and was grateful and changed his order. That kind of cultural awareness and honesty shows that place isn't just about great food--it's about heart.
