    Seafood fried rice. Shrimp, clams, mussels.
    bianca w.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Food was amazing! We went on a Saturday night and waited about 90 minutes before we sat, the wait was worth it. The chicken wings and loaded tator tots was delicious. We ordered shrimp, clams, crab and lobster for our boil. All was great but the lobster and shrimp was the best of them all! Will definitely be back.

    We had 2 lbs of snow crab leg,1 lb of shrimp and 1lb of lobster, not in the pic

    Since we loved seafoods, and we've been to a lot of seafood boils, this one did not disappoint. Fresh juicy seafoods. Calamari was good and the dip is kinda new twist. Kids loved it! Service is good, although our lobster was forgotten and was served late, our server gave us a discount.We came here during winter time and kinda busy, so I suggest make a reservation, place kinda small but cozy. I've seen big parties and ordered their Denali feast and looks good and huge! We want their the WoRkz sauce and served in a big bowl! ( we wanted ours on the side)

    Me and my partner always go here for our special dates. It's always good, waitresses are always kind especially our most previous one Kaitlyn. She's super kind and funny. The environment is amazing and it's clean.

    We actually visited this brewery twice, so I'm kind of combining both experiences into one review…read more The first time we stopped by on a Friday, and the place was absolutely packed. There were just too many people, so we decided to grab dinner elsewhere and come back another day. The next afternoon, we returned hoping for a less crowded experience, and we're glad we did. The female hosts were very friendly and let us know the rooftop bar had just opened, so of course we had to check it out! The bartenders were all wicked chill, and the views from upstairs were amazing. We loved the unique beer flavors and combinations, and the flight options let us sample quite a variety. Although we didn't try any food, they do have a food menu available. The entire place was very clean, which we appreciated. There is metered street parking both in the front and behind the building, so if you can't find a spot out front, be sure to check the back street. Overall, we highly recommend this brewery if you're visiting the area and would definitely stop by again!

The wait for anything in the building was 45 minutes and there were many open tables. I get it, perhaps they were short staffed, were on a shift flip or we were just misquoted. Not too big of a deal, so we just chose to dine outside at the food truck they run as one of their options during the summer. What a mistake and I hope the interior dining is better, but I can't comment on it other than the wait. Service at the truck was VERY SLOW, staff was not attentive and even somewhat rude. Food took FOREVER but it didn't really make sense because my dog came out still frozen in the center (or at least very chilled). I threw it away and spit out the first bite- I ordered a Brawt so I couldn't take the chance of getting sick. The other dogs we got were small and wimpy for the prices being paid. The smash burger- that was great and the was pretzel also great. Local sodas - delicious. Normally I would have complained and let them have the chance to fix the food, because shit happens, but the counter staff was so rude on the get, I assume they'd not care, and who knows... plus no one has 30 minutes to wait for a hot dog. $80 experiment that we ended up having to have second lunch to fix. I would say... come give it a try but don't get excited just because it keeps getting recommended. They're still figuring out how to be more than a brewery.

The service is great but the best part of the experience is being able to cook food right at your table. The experience of that makes it a lot of fun. I love the decor and the overall experience, especially since the sushi bar is right up front where you can watch just as you would if you were in japan. It's a very enjoyable experience but also has some simpler items for those uncomfortable with an all around fusion experience. Ex.

The house special fried rice had a good amount of shrimp and other meats but was an average portion size. The combination yakisoba was nothing special as well. The common denominator is the fact that all of the entrees came out lukewarm. The hottest thing on the table was the hotpot. I quite enjoyed the udon noodles and the broth was decent. The service was just ok. She disappeared for quite a while after all the food was on the table. We were a large group and so was the table next to us and I'm sure she had other tables as well. I might be inclined to come back to try the sushi.

In fact Alaska in general thus far I have enjoyed the breweries there considerably. The beer I had from this brewery was the Panty Peeler which is a Belgian Tripel. A good beer for sure and is a good pairing with fish and chips or a burger. Flavor highlights with this beer are sweet, strong and fruity but all in a well balanced way. The beer goes down smooth and is light bodied. A good beer to start for me with this brewery. I'd loved to try more of their beer options. Love the brewery's swag and have a t-shirt or two and would love to score a hoodie that I had my eye on but it was out of stock so I'll try back later.
