What struck my interest was the reindeer hot dog! What's cool about this place is you can order from any menu; breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The hot dog is yummy, but a little hard to eat because they cook it open faced, so I ate it with a fork and knife. My husband ordered the blueberry cakes, which were enormous! I'm not much of a pancake girl, but these were scrumptious and made with fresh blueberries. The portions are generous so some items are good to share. It has a classic, laid back diner feel, nothing fancy but very casual and relaxed. Their was only one waitress at the time, but she was friendly and fun and got our food to use quickly.

I remember thinking the menu looked pretty awesome, although I somehow managed to accidentally delete my photo of it! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and as a dog lover, I have to mention that the pup hanging out inside was absolutely adorable. One thing I thought was especially cool was that they could add different flavors to some of the beers, which made for a fun and customizable experience. It's also within walking distance of the cruise port, making it an easy stop for cruise passengers looking to support a local business. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area and enjoy craft beer.

I knew I had to stop once I saw ice cream was involved since you couldn't get it on the princess cruise which is where our group came from. With about 30 min to spare before boarding for takeoff, I dipped in here for a scoop of huckleberry ice cream in a waffle cone. I knew I was in heaven after the first lick, it's smooth and creamy with some firmness and the flavor of huckleberry comes through. That flavor isn't back in D.C. so it was a treat in the AK. No sandwiches or coffee/espresso since I could get that on the ship but they look tasty and efficient. Stop in here and get your fix if you're here!
