I'm ashamed that for years we made fun of the bizarre name. Max's is clean inside, has a diverse menu, great daily specials and the staff is so friendly. They also have one of the biggest burgers I've ever seen. My husband couldn't finish it. I can't remember what ite called, but it was a double with egg and huge onion rings and toppings. It was ENORMOUS. I always get the Hawaiian or Tirayaki. Their fries are awesome as well. I will eventually try some of their Korean and Hawaiian options, but I like the Tirayaki burger and I'm a creature of habit.

I also like to get a number of the loose peppers at the condiments table. The food is consistently good even after all these years. Be aware that they only take cash and they can get really busy at lunch.

They have been around since the early 1960's. Went there on my first trip to Anchorage in 2011 and…read moreI was impressed. This is my second visit to town. Returned to Arctic Roadrunner and still impressed. The all American burgers are large and juicy. Full of taste. With an old fashioned taste of the 1960's. 4.5. My wife had an arctic cheese and a fish sandwich. She said that she liked them. The large French fries had good taste but I would have liked a larger-large order. 4.0 Free refills were available on all soft drinks. There were twelve different soft drinks to choose including Coke and Dr. Pepper. A short line to order and the order was filled quickly. Men's room was recently cleaned. Wife also appreciated a clean ladies room. We dined in a booth with a window that overlooked a swiftly flowing stream that was about fifty feet away down about a twenty foot hill. The cashier always smiled and seemed very happy to see us. There were no TV's and no music was playing. I was able to talk with my wife and have no distractions. That is good. Glad that I dined there, with my wife, for lunch today.

They've got a TouchTunes jukebox, so you can play your favorites, and while this place gets BUSY for a dive bar, that's part of the charm. We especially love playing pool here when it's popping. And let's clear something up real quick: YES, they serve food. YES, it's the best dive-bar drunk food you'll find in Anchorage. The burgers, fried mozzarella sticks, wings, and jalapeño poppers all come out fresh AF and HOT. Like... dangerously hot. Careful though- I've absolutely burned my tongue more than once because I couldn't wait. Zero regrets. If you know, you know. LB forever

Disclaimer- I did not get a burger so I feel it is not a fair rating. And I got to-go so another…read moreding on quality. I got an order of Diablo fries and fried pickles. $8 fries. They were crispy and seasoned. The cheese sauce was on the side and was actually spicy and good. $11 fried pickles. One was fried lighter then The others which was weird. They were good but the others were a tad bit overcooked and were tough. Definitely NOT worth $11 for 6 skinny pickle spears. The batter was the right amount and not too thick. I would try them again in restaurant maybe. I do want to try a burger but I don't think it will be a drive across town just for burger zone situation.

Decided to try this place out as it looked interesting. The new period inside was very clean. But…read morein almost an hour and a half of sitting in the restaurant, we were only 1 of 2 total customers during lunchtime on a Monday. I ordered the Western Burger Zone but substituted pepper jack cheese for the American and no mayonnaise with tots on the side. The food only took about 5 to 6 minutes to come out from ordering. The burger was massive and was fresh off the grill as it was nice and hot. There was at least near a pound of brisket, it seemed, on top of the patty, and I was shocked there was so much for $17. Unfortunately, while the burger was super juicy as well as the brisket, there was not much flavor coming from the actual burger or brisket. It seemed like there had been no seasoning put on either minus some salt. A majority of the taste came from the added side of BBQ sauce or the two onion rings on the burger. While I was fully all the way into the evening from lunch, I felt that the burger would have been stellar if it packed some flavor. I unfortunately can see why it was dead, as it's a place I would not go back to if all the food is that bland.

The burgers are really good and hours are great (open LATE! Something we need more of in this…read morealleged "Land of the midnight sun") I don't like the ambiance/setup though. It's impossible to eat inside. You feel like you are on display, just stupidly waiting there for your burger to be done. I highly recommend using the drive-through, as walking inside is more-or-less a human drive-through. Even better: I highly recommend just calling your order in ahead of time.

This was the choice for the official Birthday dinner. First time for me & second time for my…read morehusband. We were first in line to be seated as the restaurant opens at 4 PM. Our reservation was for 4 PM. We asked to be seated at a booth. Lo and behold, we got our favorite server, Matt, who we hadn't seen for a while. So me being Gluten-Free I felt pretty safe with him because he knows what to watch out for and is very honest with his opinions and if in doubt he will find out. The menu does point out with a GF next to the menu items that are definitely gluten-free. But it never hurts the ask your server if the chef would make exceptions or adjustments to other dishes. I wanted the "Roasted Oysters" $23 but it did not have a "GF" next to it like the fresh oysters did and Matt went to go check to make sure & see if anything could be done. He found out that it could not be adjusted for gluten-free allergies as they use Panko crumbs in the recipe. Boo! Anyway, Matt then suggested the "Steamed Clams & Mussels" for $18 and that was a very good suggestion. They were very tasty & a little spicy. So if you don't like spice, this isn't the dish for you. I would've liked a little less heat, but it was still tasty nonetheless. We ordered the mocktails and I got the "Shake your Tree" and my husband got the "Coconut Watermelon Cooler", at $8 ea. my husband said his was OK. He expected more coconut flavor leaning to piña colada type of drink, but this was not that and had a very watermelon after note. I didn't like it much but my "Shake your tree" drink was very pleasant, refreshing and definitely tasted like pineapple with the sugar around the rim of the glass. Wish they made a bigger glass of it. To the point I got two! lol. My husband ordered the "Seafood Chowder" by the cup rather than the bowl at $6 he also ate the three pieces of bread that they brought to the table. and of course, I can't have any. He ordered the "Special Ribeye Steak" from the "tonight's specials" menu at $59 for a 14 ounce cut topped with chimichurri; served with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. The steak was cooked too perfection at medium and very tender, juicy and flavorful. My husband felt that he didn't have enough mashed potatoes because he finished that and the fresh vegetables which were carrots, broccoli and cauliflower steamed well before he made it through his steak. I had the 1/2 Rack Center Cut Lamb (GF) grilled and topped with cherry-garlic sauce & served with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes with skin in and fresh steamed vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots for $36. My lamb was also cooked to perfection of medium and was very juicy, flavorful and tender. Our server was on point with everything as usual! I received the crème brûlée for my birthday dish, and my husband got the carrot cake with I believe a side of whipped cream. The crème brûlée was very good and tasty. The bowl sat on a plate of chocolate and raspberry sauce. I had to scrape that up to eat it with my crème brûlée, which was a little different as you don't get much. It would've been better how they put it maybe in a dish of its own on the side so you can dip it in there or decorate the top of the crème brûlée it . Either way I finished it. It was good. My husband said the carrot cake was very moist and flavorful and he ate it all. The place wasn't very loud as we got there at the beginning of dinner when they opened. so there was a walk-in group of about 15 people and another couple there with us at the beginning. So the atmosphere was pretty quiet started getting louder before we left at about 6 PM. The damage was to the tune of $153. Not bad for what we got. We both left very full, satisfied and we will return. Shout out to Matt K. For doing what he does best when it comes to good customer service. Did spots and crumbs in the corner of my booth that were missed clearly from the night cleanup crew as we were the first ones for the day in that booth. But that's not enough to knock the meal itself and the experience.
