Cheese, cheese and more cheese. Super crunchy and delicious grilled cheese sandwiches, the tots are even better than the sandwich and the Mac is big enough for two or three and even more cheesy. They do strange mixes for their favorites, but with what they are next to, I'm sure the munchie folks come over and are like cheese, tots, chips, pork, ranch.... Mixed all together....

Also, there will be a bit of a wait, but again it's really small with a small staff. Still came out fresh and tasty. Also, reheats well.

If you're craving a sweet or savory treat with a cozy, local vibe, Original North Pole Crepes in…read moreNorth Pole is a delightful stop. Their crepes are consistently fresh and flavorful -- the sweet options, like Nutella with strawberries, are rich and indulgent, while the savory crepes, packed with eggs, cheese, and veggies, make for a hearty breakfast or lunch. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the shop's cheerful, casual atmosphere makes it easy to linger over a hot drink and enjoy the holiday-themed décor. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and each crepe is made with care -- a perfect little taste of comfort in Alaska. It's a charming spot that feels personal, not just another tourist stop, and keeps locals and visitors coming back for that perfect, hand-crafted crepe.

My husband had a normal breakfast sandwich, and I had a gluten-free one. We were comparing the textures and consistencies, and they looked pretty close. Best gluten-free ciabatta I've ever had, though I've never had gluten-free ciabatta before lol. Texture was soft and fluffy, and didn't fall apart in your hands as you were eating it. Coffee and Matcha were very tasty, but slightly not warm enough. Overall, a great experience though. I ended up buying a couple of pastries to go, which all were gluten-free. There was a large selection in their Bakery case of all gluten-free items. Some dairy free Options too. One of the pastries I ended up taking back home with me to Florida and it held up. It was an almond cake. Though I had it in my bag and it completely fell apart. It was still super soft and delicious several days later! Definitely the spot to go if you are gluten-free!

The first time we went, our food was served chilled even though we were dinning in, maybe we should've asked to have it warmed, but we weren't given the option and I wasn't aware I needed to ask for warm food if we were eating in. Then my hot mocha that I was so excited for came out chilled, which I'm not sure how, because it had frothed foam on it, but it was cold- when I say cold, I mean chilled- like condensation producing chilled with Luke warm froth. They did remake it, it was still chilled. And service was soooooo slow. It took forever. The coffee was decent. It might've been great if it was the right temperature. The second time we went, it was still slow but the counter help was much more helpful, attentive, and I watched her serve several hot meals while we waited for our goods. It was still a little slow but the service was much better and the coffee was hot. So 2 stars our first time & 4 our second. I hope they get it together because there's a lot of potential and locally owned coffee shops are something we all live for!!!

I was really excited to try The Crepery since the menu listed vegan options. Unfortunately, when we…read morearrived, I noticed that all the crepes were being placed on the same skillet once finished. That meant egg-based crepes were potentially touching the vegan ones. I asked if one skillet could be wiped down so I could safely order, but they weren't able to accommodate that (it also wasn't very busy at the time, which is why I asked). Because of this, I decided not to risk ordering a crepe. I did end up getting the hot chocolate, which was actually excellent. It was really well balanced, rich, and chocolatey without being overly sweet. Everyone else in my group ordered crepes and loved them, so it's clear the food is good. I just wish there was a bit more flexibility around cross-contact for people ordering vegan options or with dietary restrictions. Based on my personal experience, I would lean toward a 2, but since others really enjoyed their crepes and the hot chocolate was great, it feels fair to land on a 3 for my rating.

After that, I was put into second place to customers around the bar. Then I ordered my food. She asked me about a drink. Told her a Cadillac margarita with the smoothest silver tequila. She asked me another question. I said yes, it sounded like a style of margarita. When she found time to get to me. She put a shot in front of me. I was like can you make my margarita a Cadillac. Oh you dont want a shot. No I want a Cadillac margarita. Please hold on, took care of everyone else at the bar, then made me a plain ass pineapple margarita. I drank it, waiting for the pathetic want to be cheese burger in photo. All the way home, I asked myself, "why didnt i just go to turtle club, and get a good margarita and chicken tenders." Won't make that mistake again. Bad service, okay food. Bad margarita! The bar was very busy.
