What was even more disappointing was that our waitress seemed annoyed by the request. Throughout the meal, the staff came across as unfriendly, and it felt like we were inconveniencing them just by being there. It's a shame because the historic atmosphere is interesting, but the mediocre food and poor customer service made the experience one we won't be repeating.

Inside there are a myriad of pictures mostly of people you will not recognize because they tend to be local or traveling musicians that apparently provide amazing entertainment for the local folks. There is however, one famous picture and that is a John Denver and his dog catching a salmon. What about the food? I had a BLT which hit the spot and another in our group had a half pound burger which also hits the spot. I don't remember what the third person had but they enjoyed their meal and told me they would give it four stars. All in all it was a great visit we got her tummy is filled with some delicious food while soaking in local ambience.

It's still fun to take new visitors up to the second floor to check out all the local Alaska-themed decor and items. They even have some fun stickers, like one showing a squirrel as the mayor. But other than that, the energy just isn't the same as in the summer. The store gives me the same vibe as living in Nome--prices are high! For example, Hershey's chocolate syrup was $9.60, and a can of something was $5. That should give you an idea of what to expect. As always, the staff was friendly, and since this is one of the only places open in the winter, you might as well stop in and check it out.
