No Hawaiian drinks just Pepsi products. Employee was friendly but food was very mid. I ordered spam musubi and my husband got some poke. The edamame on the poke was hard to eat and didn't really taste good. The poke just tasted mid and oh my gosh the spam musubi was diabolical. I had purchased two and the second one I ate was "okay" but still unacceptable. I'll attach the photo of the first one. It was the saddest I have ever seen. I am being generous with the three stars btw. We are huge poke fans and so far the best we have ever had was in Redondo Beach, CA. Even Hawaii was second.

Musk Ox Farm in Palmer: "Give a hoot about Qiv-iut"…read more Jessica warmly greeted me when I walked through the doors and explained the building's layout. I arrived in-between tour times to give myself plenty of time to view the museum & gift shop. Dani Biersteker, Education Director & fellow knitter, took the time to answer my Qiviut knitting questions and taught me "Give a hoot about Qiv-iut". Several people arrived seeking farm tours, so Jessica gave an impromptu tour. Dani kindly let me tag along with the group; allowing me to pay after the tour so I would not miss out on any of the information. Jessica was an outstanding tour guide; informative yet funny. Jessica & Dani are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely care about musk oxen conservation. This is a giant farm, with musk oxen roaming in very large fenced in areas. The surrounding landscape and mountain views are gorgeous. Please Note: For obvious safety reasons, this is not a petting farm. I paid for my tour ($16) and bought my once-in-a-lifetime100% Qiviut skeins. ($230 per 2 oz). I returned to the farm on my last day in AK to purchase gifts for friends & family back home. Lori there helped me create my own herds for my nieces & nephews back home.

We came out here with a few friends for something to do on a Saturday in August. I think I hadn't…read morebeen here since I was a kid. Followed car directions and found it no problem. They have a dirt parking lot that was filling up fast. As we headed over I was noticing all the things they have to offer. They had mini golf course with the balls and putts out I think it was open? And free? Not sure. There were a board of rules to follow but I didn't notice it till we were checking out. It was a little confusing on where to start but we just walked in and went straight the the crops. They also had little trikes for kids to ride and a huge inflated strawberry jumping pad that kids were all over. We started from the back of the field at the bokchoy which we got a couple of. You should bring a knife to cut the vegetables. Don't know if they provide cutters if you don't bring your own. They had tons of plants growing. Several feet wide and who knows how long with rows of bokchoy, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, and other things. We got bokchoy, one head of broccoli, and 4 pretty big Yukon gold potato's all for $5. We had carrots and other things growing in our garden at home so got minimal vegetables. Our friends got huge bags of carrots potatoes and other things. They paid around $30. Way cheaper than the store and guaranteed Alaskan Grown lol plus it's a great way to spend the day and experience something new. Not sure if this was the end or beginning or middle of the picking season but most crops were picked heavily on the beginning of the rows and you had to walk halfway down to find a plethora of picking options. Except for the carrots they had been picked over pretty well but still lots available. Most of them had several arms and people didn't want them. The potatoes were huge and had been tilled so you just pick them up off the ground, minimal digging required. The soil everywhere was very dry like they hadn't watered ever. Maybe they cut back when everything is pretty much grown. After you are done picking you stand in line to check out. We had to wait a little bit, like 15 minutes to check out because they were a lot of people there. They apologized for the wait time but it wasn't a big deal. They weigh everything then give you a price. I think they had price per pound posted somewhere but nothing was out in the open where you could see it easily. Overall I would definitely come back. We grow a lot of our own things in our backyard but lots of people don't have that option or don't want to. Fun place!

The seasonal buttermilk chicken sandwich at Reuben Haus is one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in Alaska. The chicken was incredibly juicy with a perfectly crispy coating--not dry at all. It comes on a soft, slightly sweet potato bun with a sweet-and-spicy aioli and a slaw-style topping instead of plain lettuce, which adds great flavor and texture. I also ordered a small fry, and "small" is a little misleading in the best possible way. The portion was huge--easily the size of a large fry at most restaurants. If you're thinking about ordering a large, be prepared to share. I've heard great things about the reubens, but honestly, it's the chicken sandwich that keeps bringing me back. The fact that it's only available seasonally makes it even harder to wait for summer every year. If you see this sandwich on the menu, do yourself a favor and order it. You won't regret it.

I like happy valleys so I pulled in to see what the scoop on chickens was. An older fellow from the valley happily showed me chicken eggs in the back of his truck. I bought a carton and wished I bought more since these were darn tasty and hearty. I will be on the lookout for him this Saturday; He's at Farmer's/Saturday markets as well. Interesting side note is he had turkeys for sale. Only caveat is they are sold alive. I don't think I could do all that business myself, and probably would have ended up with a pet instead of dinner, but it is an option for some.
