I don't know what I expected…read more But it wasn't what I walked into. The food is tasty, like homemade tasty. There is no effort at presentation. This place would fit better as a counter at a gas station. You pick from what they have available. The choice are varieties of pork, beef, or chicken. Many are sitting in vats if liquid and the meat is unseen near the bottom. It's expensive for what you get. You pay after you eat, which is weird. Each plate was 17 dollars (with a bottle of water) and it asks you to tip. That caught me off guard. The only service you get is the lady up front scooping the food on the plate. She doesn't check on you, she doesn't get your drinks, nothing. It's like McDonalds style service, which I wouldn't tip for. Yet I felt obligated since there was an option to tip. There are about four drink options. Water, Coke, Diet Pepsi, and Malt Goya. There is a large seating area, a TV, and a fish tank. But it is good. And the meat falls off the bones. The plantains wouldn't be any better in Miami (and I've had plantains many times in Miami). The rice is a generous helping. I was just hoping for more options, a better set up, and maybe table service. Maybe it's more of a lunch/takeout place. There was certainly more room in the food case. And they advertised a Cuban sandwich on the window, but it was no where in sight once inside. I'd go back if they added some greens to the menu. And if the price dropped a little. Or if I discover there really isn't any other tropical/Latin food anywhere else in Alaska.

This is an interesting spot. The original location was a victim of an arson fire so, they ended up…read morein this spot. This restaurant has played host to Chris Rock, Cedric The Entertainer, Rosa Parks, Snoop Dogg, Danny Glover and Sinbad (the comedian, not the pirate). This is where all the cool people go while they are in Anchorage. The restaurant is co-located with Tropical Latin Food. It is right next to the small Speedway gas station. It is not the best of locations. It has a few parking spots available that it shares with the other businesses in the strip mall that it is in. The outside of the spot is kind of dingy, and the inside was not the cleanest either. They were cleaning up when I got there though. So, the dining room area was closed and all the tables and chairs were pushed to the side as the mopped the floor. They do not have any menu available or a menu board. If you want to know what they have, you have to pull up the menu on your cellular device by going to their website. There is no QR code either. The staff their was friendly and helpful. I ordered the chicken dinner with yams and collard greens. The chicken was made fresh, so it took about 30 minutes to get my order. They just took my number and called me when it was ready. I am glad that my food was made fresh, because the food that they had on the line was scary looking. It had definitely been there for awhile. I would recommend getting your drinks from the Speedway next door. They have a better selection and are a bit cheaper. My meal was delicious. The chicken was tasty, hot and fresh. The collards and yams, even though not the best that I have had, were tasty as well. The chicken though was up there with the best I have had. This is a decent place to get your Alaskan soul food. I wish that the location was a little better though. I was teetering between a 3 and 4 star ratting, but the food tipped it to a 4. Definitely worth visiting and getting some of your hard earned dollar.

Best Soulfood in Anchorage...period!!!

Friendly service with great music playing. Got tapas (very reasonably priced) and a cocktail right after work. Sign says they're open 5 to 11 pm (I think Thursday thru Saturday). While part of the Humpy's empire, SubZero's atmosphere much more chill (pun intended) than Humpy's or Flat Top. I'll be back.

The owner is a love and makes food that is amazing. There is a ton of love put into her food. Each time we have went in for a meal, she is working on specialty dishes and has given us the opportunity to sample them. The food is hot and is appropriately spiced. I can highly recommend the shrimp curry. Also highly recommended is the pabra.

I ordered the rib special (not the lunch one) for $12. The ribs looked amazing and were delicious. The collard green were up there with the best I've ever had. The fried okra was very tasty. The service was a tad spotty but I can overlook that since we were early and the front of the house help was late. The menu has something for every taste. As we were leaving 9 red hat ladies came in. I will definitely say the bbq was very good, I would say better than Johnston's. You can also get pork chops, burgers and much more. Give this place some love. I offered a little advice about taking care of the 9 ladies because many had not been there before. I'll come back again.
