The food was good, but very unhappy with the service. We were informed that our food order would take 45 minutes to an hour. That's why we ordered a starter as well. However, we got our food earlier than the starter, and they didn't want to accommodate us with either taking back or even giving a discount. Don't order a starter unless you want to treat it as another entree! Trying to be reasonable but just don't feel like we got the service and assistance we paid for (it's not McDonald's after all) read more

Great food and hospitable service! They were able to accommodate our large party at a moment's notice. The standout dishes were the steamed clams, halibut fish and chips, bacon brussel sprouts, and crab roll! Our server Grant was very personable and attentive plus the food/drinks came out quickly. We were very pleasantly surprised with how good everything tasted. The server was also able to provide great recommendations for local draughts. I personally loved the mango cider, and tigers blood was another popular one for our party. Remember to save room for dessert because the whisky bread pudding is phenomenal. We will definitely return on future trips to Anchorage. Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

We came on a very busy Sunday and managed to snag a table in the front area. Was fun to look at all the decorations on the wall and listen to conversations from tourists all over. Glad it was fun as it took over an hour for food to come. Service was prompt and drinks were prompt - the mango cider was delicious. It was only after we ordered we were told about the wait time - by then we were invested though so. I had halibut tacos and my wife had a salmon burger. The fish on both was very dry, although had a good flavor. Definitely come here for the ambience and a drink - maybe skip the food. read more

Price is not worth what you get. Would definitely skip this next time. Staff is amazing and interior is spacious and cozy. Food is solid but just not worth the price. FOOD: Parmesan Crusted Halibut (7/10): Decently juicy halibut with a good peppercorn sauce on top. Salmon Chowder (5/10): A lot of salmon inside but a little bit too creamy compared to other chowders King Crab Legs (3/10): $110 for 2 legs. I believe these are frozen as well from what we felt. Skip! read more

Watched a Phillies game at this bar. Owner was very accommodating to dedicate 2 TVs to the game. Grolsch beer was very good. Wings were cooked to perfection. However the ranch dressing was runny. Sports bar with pool tables. read more

We had dinner here after a day of adventures and really enjoyed it. It's a nice local restaurant with good food and attentive service. We all ordered different halibut dishes, and each meal was delicious. Although the ice tea could use some changes (but we are from TX) We'd definitely go back. read more

I ate at Humpy's over 15 years ago and have been talking about their halibut fish & chips since. Visiting Anchorage for a few days so stopped in to see if it met my memory expectations. Yes! The halibut was the most tender and moist fried fish ever! And the fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly. I remembered that I loved the slightly spicy tartar sauce...yup! Still great! My only complaint was the portion size of fish...another piece or two would have been perfection. Decent beer list. Wish they had more than one house brew choice. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Decor was exactly as it was years ago which is ok by me...why change a good thing? Looks like they have live music in the evenings sometimes now which I think could be fun too. Looking forward to our next return...hopefully not another 15 years!! read more

Wanted to try authentic Alaskan seafood. So went there on the last day of our stay. Blackened Halibut was tasty but we expected more juicy and bigger fillet. Halibut tacos were just ok. In short the food was not impressive for the price tag. Service was excellent. read more

The food was alright. I wanted to order the crab roll sandwich but they were all out so the waiter recommended the crab patty melt which wasn't good over cooked and dry the fries were good. Had the wedge salad which was good and a lot. Overall it was OK. read more

Crab melt sandwich was terrible, dry and pasty. Blackened halibut eggs Benedict was ok.

Our Lyft driver raved about this awesome local hangout. It does look like a great hang spot: lights and live music sometimes, comfy seating. That's where it ends. Maybe it was our out-of-towner vibe, or they just didn't like us. We got the cold shoulder. It wasn't crowded but it still took almost 20 minutes for anyone to even take our drink order - and it was the third staffer to look at us who finally reluctantly came over. (We were trying to be chill and didn't get uppity about wanting attention.) The artisan brew was OK, but not as good as elsewhere in town. Cocktail was a little watery. Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the food also was really not good. The crusted halibut was so greasy we were both sick. Not a good experience, but you might have better luck. read more

The smell of this restaurant is of old and overused cooking oil. Everything we ate had the same aftertaste discussing flavor. We arrived here late at night after a long flight from nyc. We were recommended this place. It's not good. The service was okay, though. The waiter was a Russian dude that was very friendly and helpful. Anchorage is expensive, but this place is overpriced read more

Great atmosphere with a ton of character we really enjoyed. Good food at a reasonable prices for Anchorage. Fantastic selection of regional beers our bartender/waitress took care of our adult beverage needs plus we got our choice of a free rubber ducky with every Alaska theme shot known as a "Duck Fart". read more

Would have been a higher rating but the manager holds absolutely no regard for customer recovery or accountability to the staff having a baseline of exceptional work. Our waitress was absolutely lovely, the halibut sandwich was great, and the crab cakes hit (per usual). In the environment for trivia was fun per usual. Our bar experience however, sub par. I noticed they have a favorite rye, High West, so I ordered a couple of old fashioneds-they came out watery (I literally watched the bartender add soda from the spray gun), over-sweet, and not quite the usual go to for a whiskey cocktail. Instead of sending them back and wasting the alcohol, we asked to have a shot added to the drink, to make it ACTUALLY taste like an old fashioned should.... When our check came, the total for our two drinks was $75... for the (honestly) worst old fashioned I've ever had. I asked the waitress to hear me out that the only reason we have spent that much money was because we had to fix the drink that was not properly made to begin with... She took that information to the manager, and was told that it didn't matter because we drank it. Had the bartender actually been competent when making an old-fashioned, our drinks would have been $16 per person instead of nearly $75. But the management would not take ownership of this problem and therefore our check for two drinks and a split app & a split sandwich was $150. Obviously not the type of Tuesday night that I imagined or plan on having considering the type of service recovery that manager provided. This is an absolute unacceptable way to treat your customers, especially because the manager did not come over himself to talk to us at all, instead just sent our server right back over to tell us she was sorry. Legitimately very upset with the way this establishment is run. read more

It's really expensive and the food is sub-par. My Crusted Halibut dinner ($37.00) came out cold with Broccoli and Cauliflower and a scoop of potatoes. I sent it back. Disappointed. Service was great. If you want to watch sports and have a beer it's the place. Go somewhere else to eat. read more

The service was great the waitress was on it the bad part was the food. The biggest complaint is the Alaskan Smoked Salmon board. It was two scoops of cream cheese mixed with salmon and a loaf of white bread. The bread was just a loaf of bread not toasted not anything kinda strange like your supposed to take white bread and dip it in the cheese or use a knife and spread it on the bread? At least toast it show the bread some love. I'm not into like having a great food presentation but man come on. The other food we ordered was just ok. read more

I first visited this place exactly 20 years ago. While in Anchorage, we decided to visit this place again. This place is as touristy as it gets but its okay for what it is. Our crab cakes were previously frozen commercial mostly breaded crab cakes. My reindeer meatloaf was pretty good(Thanks, Blitzen!). The fries were greasy, but that's a preference to some. The local beer was excellent. The smoked salmon chowder was the best thing amongst all the items we ordered. The waiter was one of the most smug waiters we've had. Would we go there again? We probably wouldn't go back for food, though we would consider going back for a drink and some snacks when they have singers performing. read more

Was recommended to have the halibut here, but opted for the plank salmon instead. Also ordered Bavarian pretzel sticks to go. At the bar again, I ordered the King Street pilsner. Went down real smooth. Service was great, I was quick though, just one beer and downed the salmon rapidly. It was so good. Enjoyed the sauce as well. The place is festive with lights draped across the ceiling. I'm probably going to try the halibut fish & chips next time. read more

Great spot. It's called a dive bar, but that's not fair. It's classic. Four of us - we had fish & chips, crab roll and other items I can't remember. Excellent. Great beer selection. This is a go-to place in Anchorage. read more

Ate here today as a tourist, so honest reviews of dishes. We got the halibut fish and chips, which we thought were very good. We really liked whatever they put on the fries to make them crispy. The fried pickles were some of the worst I've had. The outside was hard and cracked open, and the pickles were like jerky inside. The pretzel sticks and cheese were quite good--nice and fluffy inside with a slightly spicy cheese. The most disappointing was the crab leg--it was floppy, so couldn't be cracked at all and had to cut open the side. For $55 for a leg, it shouldn't be soft shelled. The server was nice, but didn't check on us. We would have ordered another round of drinks, which were good. To us, the prices weren't crazy for the type of restaurant in a touristy area. The saving grace was getting a discount t with this app, which gave us a discount and cash back! https://app.inkind.com/refer/EJ0E6SOT read more

Really wasn't a fan. I was told this place is a must in anchorage. And I just don't agree. Very divey, kind of smelt bad, felt like it could use a revamp. Food was just average. Nothing outstanding. They were out of the fried pickles that we wanted. Cheeseburger was nothing special. They do have a great beer selection so maybe if you're coming here to just drink and sit at the bar maybe it would be a better experience. But I don't think I'll be back. read more

First, I counted 4 servers walk by us after we sat down. Apparently our server had one whole entire side of the place or something, so it took 15 minutes just to get drinks on the table. I asked about the market price for the crab. $160.00???!!!! Absolutely NOT. Server was very short with us from then on. Had no time to talk to us at ALL. $85+\- for a dinner for two. Fish and chips and a really dry "crabby patty" sandwich. Not going back. Expect $20+ dishes and not that good of quality. read more

Wasn't busy so we were immediately seated. Took 65 minutes for the appetizer to arrive, 82 minutes for dinner to arrive, and no drink refills. Major disappointment. read more

We stopped here as part of a food tour. The sampler we had was excellent. Our server was good but not super attentive but that could have been because of the food tour although we were ordering extra food and drink. We sat outside on the patio which was really nice. read more

Been coming here for over 25 years and the atmosphere and food remain unchanged yet consistently good. Beers may come and go (RIP Pyramid Apricot Ale and fortunately, Alaska Amber remains outstanding) but it's their Alaskan Smoked Salmon Spread remains our favorite and why we come back again and again. One observation about this evening's appetizer - bread was good, but not as soft as I remembered. Is that so it doesn't tear as one applies the generous salmon spread? Service was awesome and we remembered friends and great times we've had here. We're even able to secure one of our favorite booths by beating the crowd. Still a place that seems like more locals than tourists. Am I still a local though I now live in the lower 48? Why is the lower 48 even though it really is 49 - yes Hawaii was added after the Great State of Alaska joined the Union? These questions and more can be asked at Humpy's! There is just a few places I recommend you hit in Anchorage- this is one of them. read more

Food: 5 Customer Service: 5 Location/ Parking: 4 Cleanliness: 5 Affordability: 4 Reservations: NA This American style restaurant is situated in the heart of the downtown Anchorage Alaska area. We decided to try them for lunch this summer, while we were visiting the Anchorage area.  The menu offers a wide variety of delicious and mouthwatering starters and main courses that will appeal to everyone. Everything we ate was fresh and delicious.  The customer service was excellent and our waiter was very friendly, helpful, and attentive to our needs. The menu is very reasonable, compared to most restaurants in the Anchorage downtown area. read more

We came here for a late lunch after landing in Anchorage. They do not have a dedicated parking spot, So we had to pay to park on the street. We had a party of eight, so we got a variety of items. My kids each got the fish and chips. My husband and I shared the salmon burger with a side of gumbo. The fish and chips were good but parts of the fish got soggy from the grease. The gumbo was really flavorful. We ordered the salmon burger blackened and it came out regular. We didn't really care but when we took a bite, it was really bland so we sent it back. The blackened one had more flavor but it was still very dry. I thought the crab salad sandwich was good but spicy. The kid that ordered it was upset because it was so spicy but didn't mention spice at all. The grilled salmon a friend got was also dry but the cucumber salad was delicious!!! The waitress was hit or miss but I know as a large group we were a little more difficult. They had a bunch of sports games on all the TVs which was nice. read more

We were vacationing in the area and came across Humpy's. We split a crabby patty melt burger and the grilled salmon burger. Both were delicious, but the crab patty melt really tickled my taste buds. The crab is a mix of snow and Alaskan king crab and is deep fried, putting a nice crispy crunch to the burger. The grilled salmon was flavorful, tender and flaky. The beer menu was large with a great selection of local brews. I tried Humpy's Kolsch that was brewed by a local brewer - and a great brew it was. Service was prompt and friendly in a pub atmosphere with a local look. It has a lot of variety to the menu so you can't go wrong by dining here. If I'm ever back in Anchorage it will be on the top of my list. read more

Still looking into civil lawsuit against Humpy's after PSYCHOTIC manager (see pics) 1st blocked the exit, and then chased me and my 2 young daughters (& traumatized them!) 2 blocks, screaming f-bombs at us, bc we paid only for what we ate, & not the soggy, rubbery fried fish we sent back. The owner obviously condones this vicious behavior as they never responded. No surprise that owners James Maurer and Billy Opinsky filed for bankruptcy in 2018...NO idea how their doors are still open allowing employee behavior like this! read more

Definitely a touristy spot, but the food and service was decent. We had happened to swing by when they had live music so that was a nice experience as part of the meal.

Disappointing Recent Live Music Selections I have been coming to Humpy's for many years, while the food, drinks and service is good (they excellant fish and chips, and they also have a wide selection of local beers on tap), thats not the focus of this review. The main draw of Humpy's for me and many other loyal patrons is coming to watch the live music . You can just walk in and your favorite band is playing on the stage and there is no cover charge or line to get in. It's a fantastic venue. However in recent months the quality of live music selection has gone downhill. While there are some good bands performing occasionally like Vintage Retro or Rebel Blues Band, many of the recent live music choices have been up and coming lesser known bands or obscure choices. It's hard to get excited to go see bands you've never heard of. Where are established local fan favorite bands like H3 (super popular local hawaiian reggae band), I Like Robots (popular local 80s cover band) or Velvet La La (popular dance party rock cover band with their best of Alaska Award Winning Vocalist???) I remember in years past Humpy's was absolutely packed when H3 was there and Velvet La La shutting down Humpy's at new years with the best new years party line up with a full house. Give us those bands, give us what we want. Fun recognizable local favorites. I've never heard of half the bands on your upcoming event schedule. Don't give us super random live music choices because you think you know better than your loyal patrons. Do better Humpy's. read more

Fish and Chips are the best in Anchorage hands down! They just charge way to freaking much for them and the service is always horrible if you sit at the bar, sorry but it's the truth and I've been here so many times I can't count. Honestly, I've never ate anything else but the fish and chips, so there you have it! read more
