The food was good but the service and accuracy was poor. I ordered the turkey Ruben and received the cold turkey sandwich. My husband ordered the super tots with no sour cream and got a big pile of sour cream. The bacon of the month was the fried bacon ravioli. It was delicious. I just wish the service had been more accurate. I didn't bother to return the sandwich because I didn't want to wait for another meal to be made. It was just disappointing because it was not what I wanted and it was only OK, nothing special. read more

Classic all American food is the way to go here. They do a good job, though nothing exceptional and I wouldn't go for anything too outside of diner food (for example, the jambalaya was the worst thing we tried). Roasted veggies were surprisingly nice. read more

Had a great time at Spenard Roadhouse. The experience did live up to ratings. Fast and friendly service. The servers know the menu and are very happy to make suggestions. The ambiance is fun and they offer outdoor eating, which is great on a nice day. This restaurant is quite busy so expect a wait. The downside is the parking. There is just not enough for the crows it gathers. We parked in the adjacent parking lot. Since the businesses were closed during the weekend it seemed okay. Be warned that in the adjacent parking lot there are many homeless living there. :( The food was good portioned and delicious! Definite comfort food at its finest! The menu was a great size. Large enough to be easy to find what you like yet small enough to not get overwhelmed. Overall a great experience! read more

This was, for a decade around the corner from my home, and it was my escape. I've eaten here more time that I can count. I often didn't check in or take pictures because it was my escape... Spenard Roadhouse is one of those places that has always been a genuine "hipster paradise" as someone called it WITHOUT TRYING. It just comes naturally. Back in the early days of YELP, when I, and people like me were looking for people that for those hidden gems in our community - THIS - this beautiful AUTHENTIC comfortable but hip neighborhood restaurant with excellent, unusual modern food is what we were hoping to unearth. Spenard Roadhouse will always be my first love in Anchorage. It's stepchild, Southside Bistro... it just... tries to hard. Spenard Roadhouse was cool before it was cool to be cool, and the restaurant ages, she/he/they gets more attractive with age. read more

Spenard Roadhouse - The halibut spaghettini was divine - order it!!! - New American Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Called to see if they could accommodate a party of 12. They said they didn't take reservations but that they could accommodate us. When we arrived 15 minutes later they had a mile long waitlist. They were clearly already on a long wait when I called so it was a waste of time. Very disappointing customer service experience. read more

Great stop on our way out of Anchorage. We came at a slightly off time and were seated right away. Lots of light and Alaska inspired decor made the interior interesting and pleasant to spend time in. There was uncovered outdoor seating, but it was lightly raining so we chose to sit inside. Biscuit basket came out quickly and the honey butter was not too sweet. Coffee was great and the staff was quick on the refill. The menu is eclectic with plenty of options that include Alaskan ingredients...they highlight them so they are easy to find. My wife and I tried the avocado melt with tots and the seafood ravioli. Bathrooms were clean and staff were friendly. While we were on one check, they accommodated split checks and larger parties. Bar looks to be fully stocked. read more

Service was great, everyone was friendly. The restaurant was very clean and well decorated. The food was also very good, however for the portions I would consider it overpriced. I would definitely not recommend paying $7 extra for grilled chicken in the pasta, it was pretty dry. However, their shirley temple is a solid 10/10. read more

Great place! Seated and greeted quickly, and food came in about 20 minutes. Sebastian was a great server! Chicken in salad was very flavorful. Could've used more lettuce. Small salad is definitely small! Caesar dressing was good. Husband had salmon-very appealing looking. Broccoli was grilled and jasmine rice was plentiful but very sticky. Other than prices being a little high, this was a good find! read more

Highly recommend this restaurant! Food always comes out hot, servers are wonderful, and the food is amazing. I normally always order the spicy green curry but it had no kick to it. I still really enjoyed the flavor. But it also seemed like they skimped on the curry sauce. We loved the calamari. And my boyfriend enjoyed his chicken sandwich. read more

We caught burgers here before our flight. The staff was so friendly! If you've never had bacon jam before, this is the place to try it! I don't think I've been amazed at a bathroom before but this place Wow! Will definitely stop here on our next Alaskan trip. read more

I'm a frequent patron of this restaurant and believe the food, service and atmosphere are fantastic. One of the best places in midtown. Also try Kinleys, Bear Tooth Grill, and Altura Bistro. read more

Spenard Roadhouse continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in town. They recently switched up their menu a bit and it's really good! The Hawaii 4-9 pizza is great. Pineapple belongs on pizza! I was also elated to see they brought their green curry back. It is phenomenal! The bacon jam burger will forever be my favorite elevated burger in town and the beef short ribs are great! For brunch, you also have to try the short rib hash. I consistently have good service here and find the atmosphere pretty cozy. Highly recommend! read more

I really want to like Spenard Roadhouse, but I keep leaving disappointed. I ordered the Cajun Reindeer Scramble and was served the Veggie Scramble instead. When I mentioned the mistake to our server, Scooter, he offered the Cajun sauce but did not offer to remake the dish I originally ordered. There was also no adjustment to the check. Unfortunately, I left disappointed and feeling reassured that I don't need to try again. read more

The Bernard roadhouse in Anchorage is a local classic restaurant. That is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it. Truth be told I rated the three stars out of five based on my hard food judging that restaurants need to pass. I was told that I needed to get the bacon, jam burger and of course because I always do what the locals say and so you should, I got that burger and all in all it was OK. I personally did not like how there wasn't bacon strips or large pieces of bacon it was a bacon type of sauce mix with another sauce on the burger. It made some of the burger soggy, which I did not care for. However, this may just be for this entrée. It may be a few others, overall in the vast amount of entrées that I saw all of them looked great. I also tried the jambalaya and was extremely impressed with the spicy sauce. It was cooked and prepared. They have a rotating IPA and IPA hazy know what you get but that's OK for some adventure. I was glad that they also had a Stout and other options on the menu as well. The menu was average price. One of the best acts about this restaurant is the atmosphere. It's a great place to bring friends kick back and relax. I was really impressed by the local decor that having a cabin type feel to it. The bar set up was very attractive as well. All in all this is a place that I would recommend for anyone to try out in Anchorage.. read more

I ordered dinner online for my husband and I and went into the restaurant to pick it up. The parking lot was completely full so I parked along the curb since I wouldn't be long. I think the parking lot on the other side of the fence is overflow parking but I wasn't sure. I ordered the Mediterranean salad with extra of the lemon basil vinaigrette. I really enjoyed my salad! It had tons of toppings and the dressing really went well with it. I shared an appetizer order of the fried brussel sprouts. Super yummy! My husband tried to keep it plain tonight since he wasn't feeling great. He ordered the fried chicken sandwich but subbed it out for grilled chicken which was a menu option. He opted for the side of tots. He enjoyed his meal. He also ordered a side house salad with the lemon basil vinaigrette. It really is ridiculous that they charged eight dollars for this tiny little salad. A few bucks too much for sure! I ordered a slice of the carrot cake for dessert which looks delicious. I am totally writing this review before I try it but I have high hopes for it. The host who greeted me was super friendly and checked on my order when I arrived. She said it would be a few more minutes so I stood in the lobby reading advertisements on the wall. She brought my order out moments later when it was ready. The restaurant appeared clean and inviting. The decor seemed fun. I would have liked to dine in but my togo experience was just as great. read more

My family and I have come here two different times and both times were spectacular! The hostess was able to get us seated immediately both times. The waiter was attentive, patient, and checked on us frequently but not overbearing! The food was amazing both times we came, we all ordered different things each time and all the dishes we've tried have not disappointed. It tasted fresh, homemade, and the portions were generous so we felt we were definitely getting our money's worth. Great experiences and we will return again in the future! read more

I had a really good Caesar salad with blackened chicken. Service was pretty good! A lot of helpful people and fun atmosphere.

Food was amazing! The egg Benedict excellent! I wish I was in town longer to eat other food lol

I'm going to tell you a secret! A pizza you have to seek out! Get the Prosciutto Fig Pizza. I would have never thought this little 12" Personal Sized Pizza would have such flavors it's absolutely incredible! Hand made and formed dough brushed with olive oil on the crust makes you rip the crust apart. But that's just the crust! The sweet figs, goat cheese, arugula and prosciutto combination is a Mediterranean Masterpiece! The flavors work with sweet and salty and this is a must have pizza experience! You thought Pineapple & Ham on A Pizza was a Mind Blower! Try FIG & PROSCIUTTO! Comes in a GF cauliflower crust too! Our daughter is going to love this! read more

What a disappointment last night. I brought my friends from out of town to enjoy the local fare and we experienced a mediocre meal. Let's start with dessert, I was hoping it would counteract the blah meal but it actually reinforced the disappointment. Strawberry shortcake. Two 3/4 high small squares of shortcake that hosted maybe one strawberry that had been sliced so thinly one could barely taste it over the nutmeg(?) spice that dominated. The frugal amount of whipped cream on top didn't alleviate the dryness. It left us discussing the need for a strawberry syrup. As for the main courses, we'd ordered sandwiches. The bottom piece of bread on my avocado sandwich became a soggy sponge before I finished the first nearly tasteless half. The bread reminded me of the cheapest brands found on grocery store shelves. The avocado and sprouts were fresh. But for the bacon it really was nothing better than an elaborate yet tasteless BLT. My friend ate half of his Cubana Sandwich and was too polite to say anything about leaving the second half. Probably because I'd talked the place up so much before we arrived. The little girls pizza looked tasty but was mostly a boring crust covered with too strong a taste of Parmesan cheese. There was a tasty sauce located just at the brim of the crust, but if your first bite was the pointy tip, you had to work hard to find the sauce. Yet another dry food experience. My hubby ate his turkey sandwich in silence. He was hungry and usually doesn't critique his food unless it's particularly good. We did have appetizers. I looked forward to the roasted Brussels sprouts which arrived truly blackened. They were so well done, one could hardly find an intact sprout! Just a bowel of salty burnt leaves that managed to visit me long after the meal. And, chewy breaded calamari with a boring dipping sauce. Looking back, I recall being pleased they weren't 'that busy' especially for a Saturday night. Yet, they sat us at the table near the bathroom. I regret my friend's view was people heading to the John, when there were plenty of seats available in the main area. What was I thinking! I could've asked for a nicer seat. The waitress was friendly and I don't think it was her fault that our meal took a rather long time to get to us. We didn't get the 'specials menu' until I inquired after we'd pretty much decided from the main menu. All in all, a waste of hard earned money, an embarrassment of 'local fare' for me to offer to our friend who'd driven 5 hours to our fair city, and a disappointment as in the past I'd always been happy to come there. Oh,...the music! It was a loud heavy beat throughout. Maybe the speaker was directed at us? Very annoying. Now I know why on PFD Saturday night the place was nearly empty. Sadly, the roadhouse has let us down. read more

The food was good, my family really enjoyed it. We got a couple of signature drinks that knocked our socks off. The carrot cake was good but not the best we ever had but still worth a try. I got the black bean tostada which were okay i didn't finish it, but I'm not a big black bean Person, but decided to go outside my comfort zone. My sister loved her bacon cheese burger and I'll admit not being a big burger person it was tasty. read more

I stopped in after a local recommended this place.Trendy Alaskan Diner is the feel. Got seated right away and promptly served. I had the bacon of the day. A brussel sprout and bacon salad.

Def a great spot to eat in Anchorage. read more

OMG! This place was delicious. I totally wish they would have a location where I live so I can try all their menu items - that's how good it is. After a long day of work - I was looking forward to eating some good food and I am glad we came here! There was plenty of parking and it was a quite cozy place to escape from the cold and snow. I was craving something hearty and love gourmet burgers. I grabbed their Bacon Jam Burger with sweet potato fries and a Chuli Stout from Denali Brewing. The burger was amazing (medium-rare), with all the add-ins and apples, etc. The sweet potatoes were a perfect combination of sweet and savory. The food did take quite a while to come out but it ended up being worth it considering how delicious it was. I was absolutely starving and I still wasn't able to finish all my food - so yeah, A BIG PORTION. Our waitress was also very sweet and humorous. I could hear her jokes at other tables (hilarious). I'd definitely come again! read more

I come up to Anchorage on a monthly basis and I'm always looking for a new place to eat. I ended up at at the Spendard Roadhouse with a couple co-workers and was pleasantly surprised to see a comfortable interior that was very busy. Always a great sign! Two of us ended up getting the Fried Chicken Sandwich, which is a must! This perfectly battered and fried chicken breast came with honey bacon, lettuce, pickles, and a housemade mayo on a ciabatta bun was perfect. Another co-worker had the Fried Chicken Dinner which looked and apparently tasted equally as good. With other menu items like the bacon of the month, their pizza's, and bourbon I will certainly make it back here. These service here was extremely friendly as well. If you find yourself in Anchorage and are in the need for some great comfort food and a cocktail, give the Spenard Roadhouse a try. You won't be disappointed! read more
