    Little Dipper Diner was one of the few places open on New Year's Day so we stopped in for lunch. It wasn't too full, and they didn't look understaffed, but it took awhile to get our order taken after being seated. I landed on the biscuits and gravy and added overeasy eggs. Despite the slow start, our food came out quickly and was pretty good. Definitely comfort food so not the healthiest. I wouldn't count LDD as one of my top choices but would return to give them another chance.

    Delicious breakfast! I would absolutely eat here again. The breakfast bagel sandwich was so good. I could only eat half because the portion of home fries was huge. Husband had the chicken fried steak and grits; he loved it and also took half home. We ordered 1 piece of French toast for our breakfast dessert - yum! We had wonderful service. We sat on the side with arcade games but the other side is like a normal diner.

    Great food. Great Hostess lady. I always get pick up from this place. Never fails. Okay now it should be 85 characters

    Cute diner with Coca Cola themed interior. Large portions and fun games on the other side of the room. Good for a hearty brunch.

    This is a beautiful little tucked away spot. Didn't know it was here but so glad we found it. my wife is getting her hair done at MisFits and we stopped in. Has an arcade and kids cartoon theater is super cool. Full of cocaCola memorabilia, good portions are huge def enough for 2 people per plate. Highly recommend

    Little Dipper has to be one of my top favorite breakfast spots in Anchorage. Family-owned spot with amazing staff that remember returning guests and create the homie ambiance that this place resonates. Their cooking is spot on and coffee is always being offered and never missing at your table! They even have a small arcade on one side of the restaurant to keep the little ones (and not so little ones) entertained. We stayed in anchorage for 10 days and returning to Little Dipper was never a question.

    Best eggs Benedict and potatoes buttery smooth! Soo good i ate them on two different days for breakfast.

    Located in a strip mall. There was a short wait on a Sunday morning - but not bad really. Hubby got the corned beef hash, eggs and tater tots, I got the BLT with onion rings. We were right near the kitchen and I could see when my order was up - and it unfortunately sat there for about 7 mins before it was served, so the onion rings were on their way to cold when i finally got them. BLT was pretty good though. Star of the show was the tater tots, they were served piping hot and maybe are homemade (or some better version than in your grocer's freezer). I think the corned beef hash was canned, but was salty and hit a good breakfast spot in my tummy.

    Dipper Burger. With no bun.

    Maybe it's the food choice. But it was just meh to me. I ordered the namesake burger without a bun and it was very underwhelming. I did see other food options that looked a lot more appealing. The service was very good. The ambiance felt like they were trying too hard and it wasn't an organic approach to the diner. I visited based on the overall reviews and I think it's overrated.

    Located in the corner of a strip mall, this little hole in the wall diner can be easily missed. But I'm telling you guys - you DONT want to miss it! We ended up going on a Saturday at 1130ish and The seating is limited, but worth the wait! It only took us only 15 minutes to be seated with a swarm of people in front of us, gave us time to catch up tho. We went with friends EVERYONE got good food. Since Im an Uber early riser it was lunch time for me. I got a French dip, with an over easy egg on it. Nothing to write home about, but it was good in the same. Tater tots are always good, just make them extra crunch && there is nothing to gripe about. The husband got the Philly cheese steak omelet. I did take a bite and it was quite good (tried to avoid the godly amount of cheese) *lactose here* but he loved it! Our friends got the 2x2x2 pancake, sausage links and eggs. She was pleased && her husband ordered the country fried steak scramble, as you can see mountains with delish country gravy. That was, I think, the highlight of the meal. Super pleased over all with EVERYTHING. They are a well oiled machine. Even when they were busy, a couple of our toast got misplaced, but it was right out in a jiffy once we mentioned it. Never let the old time diner vibe die! This place is a must go!

It's just a cute place to vibe at and be around the community.There is a coffee shop, plant shop, juice shop and small market in the same building which makes it worth the stop. The seasonal ginger bread chia tea from the coffee shop is like Christmas in your mouth. The turkey sandwich is like thanksgiving with cranberry sauce and pecans. The sweet potato burban cupcake was actually to die for. The cake was moist with a carm filling of pecans and bourbon topped with a light cream cheese frosting. I'm never disappointed with fire island. A jem in anchorage.

The sausage was good though, and a bit salty, which might have balanced the seasoning in this item but the chunks were too few and big to be balanced. - messy egg salad sandwich: a lot of dill, heavy on the pickled flavor, and good red onion crunch. This was just ok. It looked better than it tasted, unless you're a fan of dill. Mainly got this sandwich to try their bread but the bread was an afterthought. - maple rhubarb muffin: hard pass. Can't taste the rhubarb and barely any maple. The bottom also was more burnt than anything. It seems they may have over mixed their batter, muffin didn't have a tender crumb.

This establishment has been featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins & Dives (see photo) and is very inclusive which was super cool.

Leer (sorry if I'm spelling that wrong!) has been absolutely amazing each time--so kind and welcoming--and the same goes for the other cashiers and cooks. The whole team creates such a positive vibe from the moment you walk in. My go-to meal? The chicken, mac & cheese, and waffle loaded with cookie butter, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. On my very first visit, they asked what flavors I liked, and I told them "sweet and savory"--and they nailed it. Ever since then, it's been my regular. I always think about trying something new, but I can't help coming back for that combo--it's just that good. Today, Leer mentioned they were exploring opening new locations, and I told her Fort Worth would absolutely love a place like this. With the owner being a veteran and Fort Worth having such a strong military community, I know people there would rally behind it. We love supporting our own. Also, if you really listen, the music playing in the background is all original--and every track tells a story about the restaurant's culture, energy, and mission. That level of intention just makes the experience even more special. All in all: great people, great food, great energy. Hopefully we'll meet again in Fort Worth! Editing to add a BIG shoutout to the man running the window that food gets picked up from. I saw him let a customer (who looked like he was wearing a kufi) know that the Mac n cheese was cooked in bacon grease. The customer was unaware of this and was grateful and changed his order. That kind of cultural awareness and honesty shows that place isn't just about great food--it's about heart.
