    The sauces and flavors of food are paired so well together!!! Great customer service and kid friendly

    Bacon of the month - burnt ends with raspberry habanero bbq and Mac salad
    Anida M.

    Spenard made our list of things to try in Anchorage, and I'm so glad it did! My friend and I ordered drinks after a long day trip to Matanuska, and the pineapple piñata I got was delicious (and strong!). We got the bacon of the month to start, which was bacon burnt ends with a raspberry habanero bbq sauce with some bacon Mac salad.. it was delicious! The burnt ends were cooked perfectly and paired well with the tanginess of the mac salad. I got the grilled halibut with the lemon caper sauce and mushroom spinach orzo.. super yum! It's a lot of food so I couldn't finish it, but I wish I could because the fish was cooked so well and it was so flavorful. They were busy on a Friday evening, but there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We sat in the bar area, so service was a little slower, but still pretty attentive. The table next to us ordered a banana cream dessert that looked so good.. too bad we couldn't eat anymore or we would've tried that!

    The elote dip was horrible, looks and tastes like cold vomit. Everything else was absolutely wonderful. Servers were all nice and the food was great. Vibes are very Alaskan.

    What a cool place! Has a 1960s retro feel to it. The menu is not expansive, but it looks good. My meal was fantastic! (Minus the biscuit! Word to my southern peeps, don't eat that biscuit). We had local beers with dinner and enjoyed our meal. The service was good too.

    Spenard Roadhouse has exceptionally service from the front of the house to my server. This cozy relaxed diner is frequented by many locals and serves up delicious sandwiches. During my lunch visit I got the cubano with tots. The braised pork was juicy. This was a great balance of smoky, zesty, and saltness served in a warm bun. Service was 5 stars and with smiles.

    Sticky  bun!  Out of this world.

    I can't believe people aren't giving this place 5 stars! I eat here every summer when I come up to visit friends. Ate here twice this visit. Their cocktails are awesome! Today we had breakfast and I decided to order the sticky bun. Holy cow! Undoubtedly the best sticky bun I've ever had. Yes this place is a tad pricey, but not compared to other not as nice restaurants in the area. I cannot wait to come back!

    Here are the highlights: Fair service even with a wait Good food, little more reasonable than some other nearby places Cute place (under 21 years old not allowed without an adult) Needs more parking space

    Small Plate of Seared Scallops with parsnip puree, asparagus, peas, and prosciutto
    Ed E.

    Spenard Roadhouse made for a tasty dinner with easy parking. The interior was nicely decorated with a full bar and tables away from the bar area. We were seated right away on May 29, 2026 at 5:30 PM with no reservations. I had the Bacon Jam burger with a side of super tots. While both tasted good, I do not believe that meal was worth $28. Maybe it was worth $18 on a good day. My wife had the Soup du Jour, but neither of us remember what it was, other than it contained seafood. She also got the small plate of Seared Scallops. As you can see in the picture, the scallops are very small, maybe the diameter of a quarter coin. I also tried the Lil' Pineapple drink from the Zero Proof menu. I asked that they replace the sparkling soda with plain water, and they did. The drink was delicious. The servers were very friendly, answered all our questions, and we enjoyed the service they provided. Would I return to Spenard Roadhouse on my next trip to Anchorage? Probably not. There are many other restaurants to try and nothing about this one made me say "wow!". The food was good, and if you like what you see on the menu, give it a try. But, as for me, I'd like to try other restaurants first.

    I think the service has become more consistently good again, which is nice to see. I like that you pay on their tablet that the servers carry around so they don't take your card away. This spread pictured below coast me $50, the sliders were shareable and we all ordered them, I thought they were 3, but they had 4 and were $17. Everything was delicious though. The sliders got soggy with all the juice.

    Scramble
    Rashina Y.

    Stopped in for brunch and stumbled upon this gem. I really enjoyed the outdoor seating--great atmosphere to relax and enjoy a meal. The coffee was excellent, and the pineapple frizz drink was well-balanced and refreshing. We started with the buffalo fried bacon, which was a fun twist, though the sauce was a bit overpowering. For the main, I had the reindeer sausage scramble--it was flavorful and well-seasoned. Overall, a great spot to grab a satisfying bite after a long morning. I'd definitely come back!

    Loved it!! Much more lowkey than some of the other brewhouses in Anchorage. Has amazing beer, huge portions of food (especially for the price), and very friendly staff and spacious interior. Surprisingly, brussel sprouts and POPCORN were the stars of the show! Definitely will visit again when I am in town.

    I can't think how I have failed to add a review for somewhere we've been coming to for years. I know, I did have a certain disdain for tater tots for many years, so maybe it's that. But Spenard Roadhouse is iconic Alaskan, you HAVE to come here. The decor is fairly busy, but it's not in a jarring way - it fits with this building. There's a full bar (I don't drink alcohol, so that's irrelevant to me) and lots of indoor, and outdoor seating. There's outdoor seating, is super pretty as you're in amongst the hanging baskets, and I really couldn't make my mind up where to sit last night, as the temperature outside was perfect. I had been ordering the same thing here for ages, but it's not on the menu anymore. (Wild mushrooms ravioli in a cream sauce, and it was chef's kiss superb) so I opted for the avocado melt, and super tots (because I have only recently started to enjoy tater tots) he got a burger with regular tater tots. I got a Strawberry Boba drink. Service was prompt, and food came out pretty quickly, despite the busy dining room. I was surprised that my super tots were made with sweet potato, which I hadn't noticed on the menu when I ordered. I'm not a sweet potato fan, and when our server came to check on us, I inquired if super tots were normally made with sweet potatoes, and she said that no, they were not. That they were a mistake, and she ordered me a new plate. They came out quite promptly, even so, I had nearly finished my avocado melt. I enjoyed the avocado melt, though I feel it's lacking somewhat, and needs a bit more flavour. Seasoning? Maybe a bit of bacon perhaps? The super tots were very good, and the strawberry boba drink was delicious. Anyway, I'll definitely return.

    Amazing food and quick service. We came for lunch during a work day and were able to be in and out in about an hour or so.
