    Breakfast Biscuits
    Blaine H.

    Preference is a gem of a vegetarian food place in NE Anchorage. With a laidback and casual ethos it is an unassuming and down to earth place to grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Everything is tasty and fresh, although, I wish they served horchata. All the meatless choices available made things difficult, in as much as, we had a little bit of trouble just deciding to order just one item (we ended up ordering four). Prices are quite reasonable and in line with Anchorage. Even if you just want to eat a little healthier and want to reduce your reliance on meet and poultry, this is a top choice for your food cravings. Actually, Preference is great for everyone. It's worth the drive and service is excellent. I wish there were more places like Preference.

    Alaska sorely needs more vegetarian/vegan focused eateries. There's way too much emphasis on meat or tomato-based pastas/cajun style. This is the first restaurant I've ever seen here that is 100% vegan and offered a variety of well-liked comfort classics but in vegan form! I've recently changed my eating habits and now call myself a Reducetarian. Places like this make people like me happy. The menu is pretty extensive. We got their meatball subs, veggie gyro, and Italian BMT. I must say everything was delicious and also easier on the digestion. I have begun to feel the difference for myself. I will be recovering from back surgery starting next week so just knowing this place exists will make life considerably easier as I won't be doing much cooking. Would give ANYTHING to see him open another location in the Valley! The good news tho is even if you do live in the Valley Preference is probably no more than a 40-45 minute drive, and we're coming from foothills of Hatcher Pass. Veggie lovers unite and give this guy your business! He deserves to succeed.

    In newer location around the corner from That Wing Place and just south of the strip mall that has Subway on Boniface. Yummy vegan  fare.

    No longer a food truck business - they have a cafe set up. In new location around the corner from That Wing Place and just south of the strip mall that has Subway on Boniface. Yummy vegan fare. I had the Portobello mushroom Gyro. Everything is fresh and organic and I can't wait to try other menus items. I hope they do the food truck on south side of town in the summers...

    Crispy Cajun Chick'n Po Boy

    I don't know why it didn't click that this was a vegan restaurant until after I had decided on this place. Boy am I glad that I made that decision. Coming from California, I am no stranger to the plethora of vegan restaurants. I was quite surprised to find out that this restaurant is there first in Alaska to be fully vegan and to have it taste like non vegan cuisine. Even after finding out that it was vegan, I wasn't expecting anything that would blow me away. I must say that it certainly did. I've never ever had a vegan po boy of any kind, so trying out the Cajun po Boy. One word: delicious! I've had my fair share of vegan foods from vegan pho to pizza to burgers (I consider it different from burger or sandwich). It had a nice kick to it from the Cajun seasoning and the chicken tasted so good. I almost forgot it was vegan food. Although Alaska is a little late to the vegan game, better late than never and I'm glad that Preference is pioneering vegan food in the north!

    An all-vegan food truck? Yes please! This place was recommended by our Airbnb host and we were not disappointed. It was easy to find in the parking lot with 2 other food trucks. They have a weekly rotating menu and this week was southern comfort. I split a famous bowl for $13 with my non-vegan bf. It came with mashed potatoes and gravy, topped with grilled corn, popcorn chick'n, and a side of cornbread. The potatoes were smooth & creamy, the cornbread was sweet & dense, and the "chicken" had great texture & flavor and even my bf liked it a lot! The gravy was good and a bit salty (which I liked). It was great to split because the portion was HUGE and it was very filling. We were instantly in food comas after finishing this meal. We're excited to go back next week to try something new! The guy who runs the truck was super nice and prepared our food pretty quickly. Also no plastic was used! It came in a compostable container with wooden forks.

    Honestly a great option for a food truck out on the south side of town! In the same parking lot at a coffee hut for your food and drink convince. Very friendly person who runs the truck. Seems like they have a different menu each week! This week it's their take on In N' Out burger but make it vegan! Honestly run here! This place is amazing. This whole meal was amazing. The sauce was pretty good. I would say it's a little on the pickley side. But it was well worth it. The burger is delicious. You can't tell that it's vegan, just a tad bit softer and easier to eat than beef. If you are looking for a great vegan option food truck for your friends, this is definitely the place to go! Highly recommend going now!

    This is our new favorite weekly buy. This is the only 100% vegan/vegetarian restaurant that I know of in Anchorage. They are not a food truck any more and are located next to That Wing Place on Boneface. Their owner is also the head chef and a great guy. We really love their Big Mac and their Mushroom Gyro. We always get them with a small side of Animal Fries.

    Great to have the option of a fully vegan restaurant in Alaska. All the food was well prepared and delicious. Hope the business does well and expands into other locations.

They weren't busy, but Holy hell was service slow. My husband got the brisket. It was tough, on the border of inedible. The schnitzel had a weird after taste. And the German mashed potatoes were... not great. My sauerkraut was the best part of my meal and that's not saying much. For me the biggest disappointment was the Rouladen, which I am highly skilled at making. I can tell they cheated in how they made it. It was not slow cooked as one item. Each item was put together after it was cooked, which is absolutely NOT how you make Rouladen. And they used yellow mustard, which is an abomination. Just NO. Nope. Can't recommend.

The family that owns and operates this gem is Greek and they are not only amazing cooks, but they care about their community!! I have been there eating several times this winter and obviously homeless people would come to the door and be given water, hot soup, half a sandwich, etc. that just made me love this place more. Now to the food. First of all I had the meatball sub which was not only delicious but super filling. The meat was very well seasoned, and the fresh basil just made the marinara pop even more, add the freshly shaved Parmesan cheese and you've got something special. The homemade bread puts this thing into overdrive! Crispy on the outside, light, delicate but not falling apart and heavy enough to hold together all that deliciousness without being filling like you just ate a large pizza. Now to the ridiculous tomato basil soup. I love the clam chowder but the tomato basil is my favorite. Savory, full of flavor, smooth, creamy and not greasy. This in my opinion is the perfect pairing to the meatball sub. You're welcome! The customer service here is amazing too just like the owners and the food. You will always be greeted by a smiling face, and treated like family. You will not regret stopping here. I've eaten the Meatball sub, The Philly, the lasagna and The Gyro ( lamb and chicken) all have been 10 out of 10. The ambiance is like a neighborhood dinner with a small dining room. You will love it!

By the time I was 2/3 in the meat became very salty and I almost couldn't finish it. Might need something more to cut the saltiness of the meat or more vinegar, and cheese, not very much of either on the sandwich. A little spendy for lunch, but worth it once in awhile. I also got the "meal" which was Mac and cheese(or salad) and a bite of one of their desserts. The Mac and cheese was HEAVY on either garlic or truffle, it was a little much. But it was good overall just not your regular Mac and cheese taste. The brownie was very good, dark chocolate. With the meal you get like 1/4 of one of their regular bars. Next time I would try the grilled cheese or back to the future sandwich. The lady making the sandwiches I think was the owner, there was also another lady helping out. I wish she would have explained things a little more like what the desserts were, I didn't realize they were right in front of me when choosing. And she didn't ask if I wanted Mac and cheese or salad with my meal. The owner you could tell took her work seriously and she loves her craft!
