    4lbs Shrimp, 2lbs king crab, and 2 lbs mussel
    VYnilla N.

    Short waiting time, delicious sauce and see food. We picked the mix it all together sauce.

    Seafood fried rice. Shrimp, clams, mussels.

    I love their food! Everything is literally amazing! The seafood is always on point! Even the fried rice was good! Service is always good if I get my 3 favorite servers thank you for being consistent on the food. My fave is their head on shrimp and classic wings! Yes! Wings at a seafood joint.

    They had such an upbeat vibe inside! It was nice and fun when just sitting there. Server (can't remember her name) was amazing giving us all the goods favorites popular. Since it was our first time she took care of us well. The Workz had sooooooo much garlic! I LOVED IT!! Got mild to enjoy the taste of the sauce. Wasn't too spicy just a little kick. If you can handle spicy I'd go up a spice! Shrimp wasn't over cooked so it was easy to peel off! These were the first crab legs of the trip and 1000% happy with it! First time having reindeer sausage. Loved it! It did have a different taste obviously so if you give it a try, dip it w the sauce and eat it w your rice!

    Sadly, I agree with pretty much everything Daniella A. had to say. Maybe it's because we were at Whisky & Ramen the night before, but the service here was very, VERY underwhelming. This is one of those rare places where I was eager to hear "the spiel". You know what I'm talking about: the little scripted speech places with unique dining situations give you if it's your first time? I needed that here. My family and I studied the website and the menu, and read the Yep reviews beforehand but we still needed some help. How much is typical for 3 people? Should we get an entree? How hot is the xxx level? The is "The Workz!"? Are you out of anything (they were, and didn't say till we tried to order it)? I made reservation on Yelp. I thought we were in great shape when the hostess asked "is it your first time dining with us?" Then our server (who was the same person as the host) was pretty much like "what are you ordering?". Zero explanation, zero chatter, zero recommendations. It was like being grilled on a test. They were then quick to butt in an tell us they were out of things (no AK shrimp), or quick to pop-quiz us on options that were never explained to us. It was a jarring experience. The food was good, not great. The seasoning was wonderful. Unlike most food in Anchorage the (non hot) spices were liberally used. There was BOAT LOADS of garlic. The spice level was really weak though. If you get XX spice level it will be very mild. I recommend XXX spice level if you like hot food. We got an entree: the Fiyah Crab, it was well-seasonabled and tasty. The white rice was useful to help soak up the wonderful lemongrass seasoning that is the Fiyah sauce. (contrary to the sound of the name the fiay sauce, while delicious, is not spicy, nor is it supposed to be) Since the crucial part of the menu, the seafood boil was not explained to us, I'll try to explain it to you, dear reader: You get seafod in a bag. it's in a bag to preserve the copious amount of seasoning. When you get it, you cut it, and dump it into a large metal bowl. You then eat from that bowl and leave the shells on the table, which has a plastic cover on it. You choose from various seafood by the pound. Make sure you ask which ones they are out of, because they are often out of them. We choose: Shrimp Crawfish Snow crab You then choose a seasoning, we chose "The Workz!". None this was explained but I'm assuming it's the "everything" seasoning. For heat level we chose XX, which was barely detectable. You then choose "add ons" which are non-seafood proteins as well as stuff you'd find at a cajun crawfish burl: corn, sausage, potatoes, etc The shrimp was spectacular, some of the best I've ever had! The crawfish was pathetic. Mushy, tiny tail meat. Sucking the heads was great though! The snow crab was somewhere in the middle. The service is really important to a place as conceptual as this. Hopefully this review helps someone out that's trying to order food for their family here!

    Freaking fabulous!! Our waitress Mariah was incredible too! We will probably have to eat here every time we're in town.

    This is called the Islander. It's spam fired rice with an egg on top, along with Furikake. I great option if you're not a big seafood fan but you are here for some reason.

    Angela J.

    This place is 100% worth the 1hr wait time!!! Lemme start by saying if you don't like garlic this is not the place for you!!! I'm pretty sure they use about 40 garlic bulbs per order lol. We ordered two seafood boils one with ingenious crab and one with king crab! And both were flawlessly delish!!! When they say spicy tho they mean it! So be prepared to have a snot rag! Everything about this place was fantastic the only complaint is they need a bigger establishment!! We will be back

    $80 for Alaskan King Crab

    Best place to get your Alaskan King Crab legs here in Anchorage! This restaurant just opened 3 years ago. Our server was very friendly. The seafood had good pricing and the sauces were great, especially their house sauce which had lots of garlic. I'd say this is my favorite restaurant here.

    Johanna C.

    Am not supposed to eat crabs but i did lol... u can join the waitlist but still you have to wait in vain. Is it worth it? Yeahhh!! Its the bomb, best seafood boil ever esp with the fiyah sauce! I have wanted to come back & server Mariah is the best!!! Place is clean & spacious, even have an area to wash your claws :-)

    Fried rice with eggs and scallions!
    Fred L.

    The food was amazing! I enjoyed dinner with my children, their spouses, and grandchildren. They were able to get us in, feed us delicious food, and get us out effectively. Our server Katelyn, with her southern hospitality was extremely efficient handling our large party of 9 with kindness. Their team supported her in keeping our drinks full and our tables uncluttered. Inferno is Alaska's seafood boil place to be! 5 starts worthy!

My gf is vegan and we were looking for somewhere that could accommodate her dietary needs and found 49th State Brewing. She got the Vegan Buddha Bowl, I got the Mt. Magnificent burger, and we shared the Mexican street corn. Everything was exceptional. Her strawberry lemonade was delicious, I got a hard cider- we were both happy. We skipped dessert because the food we ordered was already more than enough. I want to give a special shout-out to Forrester. This guy --- amazing. Knowledgeable about the menu, quick to give me his opinion when I asked for it (without me feeling like I'm being upsold) attentive to our needs and patient while we made our decisions. The man excels in communication and hospitality. I don't know what you're paying him but he deserves more. I watched him serve multiple tables at once including a massive party of 12-15 people and at no point did I feel as though we were neglected. By the end of our meal I flagged him down to make sure he knew what an exceptional job he did for us while juggling half a dozen other parties at the same time. I normally tip 20-25%, 15% for bad service -- Forrester got 40% from me. If you go here make sure you ask for him.
