    Small local bar with really good burgers. No BS menu. And simple makes this place great. 1/2# burgers were really good I got a Joey burger with Swiss. Which is extra bacon on the burger. Other than that all the flavors were spot on. The beer was cold and the locals lively.

    Yummy lunch stop

    This is a fairly new place as a brick and mortar, not sure if they have the food truck still or…read morenot. It is kinda a small space and we came about an hour before closing on a Saturday night. We were seated right away. There was one waitress/hostess for the whole floor. The place was set up nicely and painted with art on the wall and little decorations. The menu is fairly small. They have some cold salads, some all veggies and one with steak. The other entrees were shawarma, four chickens and one with ground beef, and one with sausage. The rest were veggies. They also have some apps. I got the shepherds mistake. It was cold mostly but some parts were a little warm. It would have been better hot. It was a white sweet potato base with ground beef and gravy. I wish it had had more flavor to it. Husband got the peach chicken with potatoes that were cooked with blsamic and thyme. I think they have a great concept just execution was lacking. They need more flavors/seasoning/sauces. I added some pictures of the menu since there were none yet.

    My husband is not a picky eater and he told me that we are not coming back here. Unfortunately I…read morehave to agree with him. We ordered a dish called apricot chicken and there was no apricot in the dish. There wasn't even anything fruity or flavorful pretending to be apricot. I was under the impression based on the name that there would be an apricot flavor. We were served bland, dry, cubed chicken that was pre-cut and completely over cooked. Despite it being over cooked, it came out lukewarm. There was no salt of any kind on any of the food. The only seasoning on the chicken was a little bit of pepper and a ton of rosemary. I looked for pieces of apricot, and there were none. There was no sauce either. The side was some steamed broccoli, and there was no salt or pepper anywhere in the restaurant. There are also no choices to drink other than sparkling water or water. The other dish we got was steak bites with mushroom gravy. I thought this dish was decent enough, but it didn't make up for the other dish, especially at $21-26 bucks per dish. Again also underseasoned with no option to season it on the table. The potatoes on both plates were extremely dry and while I did not mind it, I do not think most people would find them appetizing, especially with no salt or condiments. The cup that we got for water was dirty and have something black on the rim. The forks seemed dirty and covered in a film too, but we didn't have time to ask for an exchange because the owner was too busy working by herself. When we came in, we were saying that we were ready to order and she walked away and didn't come back for at least 15 minutes. As we were sitting there waiting, we were the only people there besides one lady who had ordered right when we came in. A few people came in and ordered to go orders while we were waiting for at least an hour. Multiple to go orders came over the phone while we were waiting. Instead of prioritizing the people in front of her who already ordered, she made at least six or seven different meals, and had them bagged waiting to go, while we waited for just two meals. My husband had to work in Anchorage and we figured that we would have an hour to go home and spend time together. By the time that we were done with our food, we didn't even finish it by the way it was so dry, we had to go home and he had to leave as soon as we got home because we waited that long. I do not like to leave bad reviews for small businesses, but the food was truly very poorly seasoned and so dry even I didn't like it (and I usually love dry chicken). It is a shame that gluten-free Alaska only has one safe place to eat, and the food and service are not good. It was so bad that I almost feel bad for the owner. She needs help cooking. I know that she was probably very stressed working by herself, but there is no reason to make all these new orders before serving the people sitting in your restaurant. I really hope that this owner will take this review with a grain of salt and improve their menu and service.

    Love this place and I have been coming here since 1988, it's like eating at home!…read moreWe love this place and will always eat here!

    It's a strange little cafe, part of a hotel (have never stayed at the Hotel though) Palmer is kind…read moreof quirky (to me, as an English person) and I love being able to see the water tower from the windows, which screams old town America, like I used to see in movies. Lots of booths and tables, quite a big dining room. It's not fancy. But it's always busy. It's very affordable. We often used to come for just a piece of pie, and they had a delicious blueberry pie, which unfortunately wasn't offered the other night when I was there. I don't care too much for banana cream this or chocolate chess that - they're just too sweet for me, I'm not that much of a dessert person. I was sort of hoping they might have pumpkin pie, as it's almost that time but they didn't have any. I try to have it at least once or twice in fall. I went for the least offensive option which in this case was apple pie. I went for a la mode, and as the server had trouble understanding my accent (happens a lot) I gave her my best American accent of a la mode, which made her laugh. I googled why having ice cream on your pie is called a la mode, because apparently, USA is the only country that uses this term anymore. A la mode, literally translates to in the fashion. A strange term to describe ice cream on your pie. Anyway, I don't know why I got it, as I don't really like solid ice cream, I like it when it gets melty, or to be honest, I would rather have had heavy cream, but rarely does a restaurant or cafe offer that as an option, like you'd get in England. The pie came, it was huge, and there was a half gallon of ice cream on it. I gave it to husband, and he put it on top of his cheesecake, after scraping off the whipped cream, and giving that to me. This was whipped cream from a can I believe, as it's very aerated. The pie was pretty good and nicely spiced with cinnamon, which husband objected to. He said it had a little too much in, but I liked it. One of the strangest things about the menu - which is pretty extensive by the way, are the prices. There are no round numbers, and the cents are never the same either. I assume this is because of the sales tax? Like one thing might be $4.33, then something else will be $7.59 so that when they ring it up and add the sales tax, it comes out at a nice round number? Is that right? Anyway, no complaints, you can always get a seat, service is prompt and friendly, and there's great views from the window seats.
