Great variety of food and drinks. One negative was a request to leave off the tomatoes, onions, and beans from the tacos was not fulfilled. They did offer to remake but the place was busy and everyone already had their food. They were able to seat us fairly quickly even though they were busy and we had a large group. The cheese sticks were a favorite. They also make a good old fashioned. read more

The Palmer Ale House is one of those places that I'd love to return to time and time again, simply to try the many different menu items and beers they offer. My family shared a Hawaiian Pizza and a Palmer Special Pizza. The crust was authentically hand-tossed, and the toppings were fresh. The flavor? It was really good, but not amazing. It needed some garlic or a bit more flavor. The beer--amazing selection! We enjoyed the GlacierBrewery Raspberry Wheat and the Turnagain Mexican Lager. The hand-cut fries were disappointing. They were very wet with grease, almost as if the fryer wasn't working quite right. The service was personable and on top of their game despite being busy. read more

I often get the eyeball roll when I tell someone that we are taking friends to Palmer Alehouse along with "seriously? Why would you go there". Well, sweeties, we like beer and this place has the best tap menu in the valley. The food isn't fine dining. But it doesn't suck and if you like decent pub food then this place will work for you. Like I said, we come for the beer and the food is just to fill the belly. We've always had good service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The live music in the summer is an added bonus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My favorite food is the Thai salad wrap, sweet potato fries, chicken tenders, the burgers are usually good as is the pizza. read more

Arrived at 6pm on Thursday. Told it was a 20 min wait for a table but got two seats at the bar. Watching Lindsey work the bar was spellbinding! She moves at the speed of light, but focuses on everyone! We wanted the large Palmer pizza, but we're sorely tempted by the Black & Blue Fries - but we couldn't possibly eat a full order! She figured out a way to make a half portion, while making us two excellent mixed drinks. Pizza was fantastic- crispy on the bottom, but dough was not a giant cracker. B&B Fries were equally awesome - did everything but lick the plate (lie!) Very pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the drink prices are. We will be back! read more

I usually go to Palmer AIehouse for the pizza-and-salad lunch special, but this was a Sunday afternoon visit. I love the beer list here, especially that they have raspberry wheat! We ordered a steak dip and a classic hamburger with fries. The steak dip and hamburger were delicious! The hamburger bun seemed homemade and was beautiful! The bun for the dip wasn't as good, but okay. My only complaint is that the fries were not crispy. They are homemade but a bit greasy...

Cool place, huge selection on tap beers Food was not so much. Come for the drinks and ambiance. We got a burger and hot Italian sub, soft pretzel w/beer cheese. Burger looked good until we cut in half to split...it was raw in the middle. Not a medium or medium rare...rawre...haha. The waitress (Taren)took it off the bill, but came back from kitchen with snide remark, "All our house burgers come pink, next time you should say cook well." Like it was our fault. Italian sub from Subway has 10x the amount of meat than this $18 sub had. We prob won't come back for food, maybe a brew though. Yikes. read more

Ok food and service quality have definitely diminished since tbe last time we were here- such a shame. Our server was lovely though but she was definitely taxed by the number of tables she had. She did her best to be attentive. The food was ... eh. I remember it being excellent, so that was a bummer. But the fries were out of this world. Some of the best I've had in Alaska. I would go back just for these with beer. Their tap collection was FANTASTIC. I hate IPA and frankly that have WAY TOO MANY IPAs and not enough stouts and Belgian beers, but I was able to find something quality that appealed that was excellent. I got a Smore Stout that floored me that paired with the fries was heaven. So I was happy.

This place used to be pretty great. Then there was some kind of upheaval and it went to a reduced menu for a while. It is back to a mostly old menu. We went back and had a great server Galina. She was great. The food though was not. My burger made me ill, not sure what it was, it just tasted off. I felt awful for hours after eating it. My wife had fish and chips and hers also tasted very off. She didn't want to eat it. On the bright side, we ordered the bread pudding and it was spectacular! Really good. We will go back just for the dessert. I will skip the food though. Disappointing. read more

Burger was sooo good but the best part was the black and blue fries. Hand cut fries with Cajun seasoning, blue cheese sauce and blue cheese crumbles . . . So dang good. Sat at the bar for lunch and the bartender was super friendly and helpful. read more

The service at Palmer Alehouse was absolutely terrible. The staff acted like they were doing us a favor by even acknowledging us. Most of them seemed entitled, unprofessional, and had major attitudes, it felt like they just didn't want to be there. I've been to a lot of restaurants in my time, and I have to say the service here was some of the worst I've experienced. I have never witness staff act like they were too busy or too important to take care of the customers properly. I waited far too long for everything, to be greeted, to get a drink, to place my order. When the food finally came, it was nothing to write home about. The servers seemed more interested in chatting with each other than checking on their tables. No sense of professionalism or courtesy. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent meal and good service. Very disappointing. If you're looking for friendly service or a place that respects its customers, this is NOT it. Avoid at all costs. read more

Used to be a solid spot, but Palmer Ale House has seriously gone downhill. The food is still decent, but it's nowhere near good enough to justify the attitude you get from the staff now. There's this tiny guy with glasses who is the first person you see, yet he treated me and my group like we were wasting his time just by being there. completely dismissive. Our server was flat-out unprofessional the entire time. No manners, no friendliness, just a bad attitude from start to finish. It's a shame because Palmer could really use more ale houses, but with better service and ownership that actually gives a damn. I saw the owner reply to someone else's review a few times and completely dismiss what they went through! Absolutely zero accountability, just gaslighting. That alone says everything you need to know about how this place is run now. Not sure if it's under new ownership, but something definitely changed. Last year? Staff was better, food came out faster, and it actually felt like a place worth coming to. Now it's just trash. I'd love to see another ale house come into town and knock this one out of the water. Palmer deserves better than this. It needs a new owner! read more

Great selection of beer about 42 on tap. Service was great love our server! Food was good but I think I should've ordered something else tbh I ordered the Caesar salad with steak and it was good but I'd pass next time. It was shredded steak and was an extra 10 dollars to add it. I would personally only do a 5 dollar up charge. I've been here before and their appetizers are bomb. Overall good experience. read more

Consistent food, with great beer selection. Owners listen, as they brought back their hand cut fries.

My first visit to this excellent restaurant. An extensive selection of craft beers, great cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I was here at lunch and ordered the Beefy Cheese Sandwich on toasted sourdough bread. The bread was fresh baked and delicious lightly toasted piled full of sliced roast beef, red onion, cheese and an horseradish sauce. The beef was tender, sliced perfectly and ample. The cheese melted just right and the red onion fresh and flavorful. Overall the sandwich was outstanding. It came with your choice of French fries, tomato basil soup or a salad. For 2.90 you could upgrade to onion rings or sweet potato fries. I choose the cup of soup which is made daily in-house. It was thick, very well seasoned and delicious. The soup was garnished with shredded cheese. I also had a non-alcoholic craft beer Athletic Brewing Company Hazy IPA. Until today I did not know that nonalcoholic craft beer existed. It was very much like actual real beer in taste and body. I have to find a source to replace the Coors and Odoul's nonalcoholic beer I have drinking for ever. This was wonderful. I will return to this restaurant to try their other selections and can highly recommend them. Good for everyone including families with many tables, bar seats and and upstairs dining room. The service was friendly and efficient. read more

Waited half an hour for a table, then another half an hour for food in the hot sun. The waitress offered to let us cash out the drinks only and leave before the food arrived. We agreed with their offer and asked to check out and leave. Then they came back and said it would only be ten minutes. Fifteen more minutes went by and we asked again to just pay for the drinks and leave, handing them a card. Then the manager comes out with the food packed to go, despite our request, having already ran the card with the food included, forcing us to pay. They refused to honor their own offer to us and forced us to pay for food after offering to let us walk away. The manager was rude and completely unreasonable. Easily the worst restaurant experience of my life. Go anywhere else. read more

Good beer selection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good casual venue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since we were with our dog, we had to order our food to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were told they would call us when it was ready. We waited over 30 minutes for a burger and a hot sandwich. Got no call. Went in to check on it. Were told that they had no record of our order ( which we had already paid for). Told them we wanted a refund. Then someone found it sitting cold on a counter. I think it might have tasted okay if it hadn't been cold when we finally had to go prompt them to find it. Also while we were waiting we got served a beer that was the yeast from the bottom of a keg. The bartender acknowledged it was the dregs but insisted it would taste okay. It was nasty. Not impressed. read more

Clean spot, good food, and quick service! Gluten free pizza was really good. French fries were the best I've had.

The food is wonderful. Especially, the pizza. Something about the sauce and the tasty crust. They have a pretty good Reuben, too. Between the six of us, we uncovered a few great finds. Sandwiches, calzones, burgers and of course the awesome pizza. You'll also find an extensive list of beers- 44 in all. There's a nice variety of red and white wine, even an impressive Pinot Noir. How about a beer sampler? Nitro, king, single, ace, steep, Ipa, engine, pine, drop, red, apple. Wow! The room is like so many in the great 49th, a rustic, old barroom feel to it. They have a terrific patio with a huge stage for live music...right outside the back door. Unfortunately, the band wasn't very good, but that's not entirely the Alehouse's fault. All three of our visits featured the best service. Friendly people that deliver food quickly, visit the table often and keep the glasses full. The prices aren't too out of line, especially for Alaska. We think it's worth it and try to stop here when we can! 07/23 read more

If you are visiting Palmer, this is your stop. The staff is very friendly and very welcoming. They have a variety in their menu but my go to is the Greek Salad. The restaurant can hold a lot of people but if you go past 5:30 PM you can expect a wait. If you are visiting in the summer, I highly encourage you to stop by their Friday concerts every Friday night after the Palmer Friday Fling as you will have fun. Grab a beer and enjoy the outdoors with dancing and listening and having fun. read more

People come here for the beers! I found an oatmeal stout from founders that I really liked. I should have got a burger but having one recently I opted for the BLT and I knew that it probly was one of their "miss" items and I was right. They used thick sourdough bread which didn't pair well. Otherwise it was a very typical BLT. And I didn't know their fries were bomb so I got a Caesar salad. Literally Costco croutons, bare minimum Costco shredded parm and long pieces of romaine. We also shared the nachos which were pretty good. Next time it's a burger with fries for me. We came Saturday night, group of 4, about 4:45ish and we must have waited only 5 minutes for a table. read more

We got the Palmer special pizza and cheese fries. Both were really good! The pizza was the best - the fries were generally really greasy but hey that's what makes bar food right? Our server was great and selected some great beers to try - the cryo and blueberry ale were the favorites. We also visited the next day and got the jalapeño popper pizza which was out of this world good! read more
