Note that one plate of three large pancakes is enough to feed 2 adults (and we still couldn't finish them). The coffee was good, but could have been hotter. For dinner, I had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes and my wife had the chili with cornbread. Both were delicious. Our two cocktails were also good. The atmosphere is that of an upscale lodge. Service was fine. Prices were typical for the area.

EXCELLENT FOOD: Terrible service:…read more I just want to start by saying the food was excellent. The kitchen absolutely did its job. The service, however, was terrible enough to have to make a review. Our server, Kat, acted like our table was an inconvenience from the moment we sat down. My sister was dining with her 1-year-old child, and when we asked for a high chair, Kat rolled her eyes, grabbed one, and dropped it off on the opposite side of the table from where the baby was actually sitting. No offer to help, no kindness, no basic courtesy. The attitude only got worse from there. Every time we needed something, we were met with eye rolls, annoyance, and the feeling that we were bothering her simply for asking her to do her job. We even noticed the same behavior toward other tables, so it clearly wasn't a one-time misunderstanding. When I ordered an iced latte, I asked what syrup options were available because there were no drink menus at our table. Instead of answering a completely reasonable question, Kat acted irritated that I dared to ask. Customers shouldn't be expected to magically know what you offer. I understand that everyone has bad days, but if you dislike interacting with guests this much, hospitality may not be the right industry for you. No customer should be made to feel unwelcome for asking for a high chair, ordering a drink, or requesting basic service. It's incredibly disappointing because the food was honestly amazing. But amazing food doesn't excuse rude service. There are too many restaurants serving great meals to spend my money somewhere I'm treated like an inconvenience. Good food gets people through the door once. Great hospitality is what keeps them coming back.

Although it was a cold and wet Alaskan night, inside was warm and comfy. We were seating pretty immediately even though it was packed, and our friend (who so graciously drove us here) recommended we try their Yak Burger. Usually I let my camera eat first, but the burger smelled so good, I ended up devouring it before I could even take a picture. One of the best burgers I've had in my life. The beers too were delicious. There's something for everyone here from light lagers to heavy stouts and even fruity ciders. You can't go wrong. Highly recommend stopping by 49th State Brewing.

If I was just rating this place for the beer garden, I'd give it a 4.5 review, but we did stay for…read moredinner and that wasn't the best experience. When we arrived there was a bit of a wait for dinner seating - which we didn't mind; gave us an opportunity to order some drinks and checkout the enormous outdoor space they have in front. Unfortunately while they listed many beers on the menu, they were out of at least half of them. Wasn't an issue for me as I was able to get my fill with what they had available -- but I would have loved to try some flights to taste them all (if they had them available). As mentioned, even with what was avaiable; tons of variety and everything I tried (IPAs and Sours) were great. It was cool to explore "the bus" out front; they let you go inside which they've made a mini museum with timeline; it isn't actually "THE bus" -- it's the one used in the movie (Into the Wild), but a great replica that lets you really imagine what Chris was living in out there. We were called in for our table much sooner than expected. Friendly server who, like most summer staff in Denali, are young foreigners that are coming to the USA for the first time on a temporary work visa to visit -- can't blame them, our country is the best. Despite being inexperienced, the server tried his best and did a good job. Where this place flounders is in the food. Nothing to write home about - everything was just at about par for the most part. We had the nachos as an appetizer -- very simple, decent size, nothing special. I ordered the Yak Burger per recommendations; wasn't worthwhile. Didn't taste much different than a normal run-of-the-mill burger. I couldn't differential between the yak meat and any other normal beef burger; menu item seems like a bit of a tourist trap. My partner had one of the fish dishes (I think the cod) and also wasn't impressed - small portion size and nothing substantive in terms of fresh flavor. Both dishes seemed overpriced given the lack of taste/quality. I definitely wouldn't recommend eating here, but would recommend swinging by for a drink prior to (or after) going somewhere else to dine.
