The coffee was SUPER good! My husband and I both got 16oz coffees and the total was only $12 and we inhaled the coffees lol.

Not a blast of flavor like I was expecting based on how good the coffee was. The service was great, everyone was super kind and the food came out quick even with the morning rush during a holiday weekend!

A generous portion of fries were served as well. Wife had the scallops with Cole slaw. She shared one and that too was amazing! It wasn't dry, and it wasn't "raw." Cooked to perfection. Prior to that, we had the clam chowder. That was really good as well! Smokey flavored with a hint of spice . This was different compared to other clam chowders we ate. Also, every single spoonful had clam(s) on it. Very generous with their clams. Service was great! Just getting seated by the hostess took a while. But worth the wait. View was awesome, too!!!

This restaurant has replaced the longtime restaurant Anchor River inn. It has been renovated with…read morenew entrances and complete make over of the interior. The food is very good and at reasonable prices for the area. They have two separate dining areas with a bar, sound stage, dance area, small dining area. The larger dining area is through two double doors. The service was friendly and efficient. We dined there for several meals as we were staying a motel unit that they also operate across the road from the restaurant. I recommend the restaurant and motel units if you're fishing the Anchor River and need a place to eat or stay. Call the Restaurant for reservations at the motel or reserve online.

Hands-down the best food we've had in Alaska; and maybe the best street tacos ever!…read more We have been living in Alaska for a couple of years now, and Swell Taco in Homer is officially our favorite spot. The location is beautiful, featuring a very cute outdoor setup right on the ocean with amazing views. Even though they were busy with a long line, the service was outstanding, kind, warm, and engaging. They were incredibly thorough, and our order came out exactly right. I also noticed that everything coming out to other tables looked consistently spot-on, with everyone around us loving their food. As someone who eats gluten-free, the fact that 80% of their menu is GF was phenomenal, and it actually tastes incredible! Their corn tortillas are genuinely the best I have had anywhere. Their flavor combinations are extremely well thought out and expertly executed. We tried the fried rockfish, the halibut cheek, and the Carne Asada. The fish-based tacos were lovely, as the texture was perfect. The flavor profile on the Carne Asada was actually my favorite of the three, but the meat itself was just a little too tough for my full appreciation. Still, the seasonings on all three tacos were absolute perfection. Do not skip the coconut limeade! It was such a treat: perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and very well done. Swell Taco is a must-visit in Homer. We will be dreaming about these tacos until our next trip!

Birria tacos were delish. Packed with meat. And the consume was warm and savory. Steak taco was a little tough. Generous portion of meat. Needed salt. The pickled onions gave it a nice tang. Coconut limeade was refreshing and yummy. The hibiscus agua fresca wasn't my cup of tea. Lacked flavor. Service was great, but our food took a while to come out. But I'm still happy we tried it.

This Thai family-run restaurant serves up fresh, flavorful dishes that rival the best Thai spots on the Kenai Peninsula. As a self-proclaimed Thai food snob, I can confidently say Keen Kow delivers. The peanut sauce is crunchy, a little tangy. The fresh rolls don't include protein but are beautifully presented with a perfect crisp. Every curry we've tried is bursting with flavor--small portions, but still satisfying. The owner has an old-school, curt demeanor, balanced by his charming Thai wife who always makes us feel well taken care of. The atmosphere is cozy and laid-back 3 for small portion size.
