    What a burger
    Michael A.

    Nice staff friendly and helpful I have been here a few years ago and the prices hasn't changed I had the carnivore burger and it was as good as I remember it

    Cheeseburger

    Love the atmosphere! Intrigued by the wildlife. Just what I should see in Alaska. I was not a fan of the waiter. He was hard to understand and lacked personality. Doggone I didn't get his name. I had the Italian Baked Sub. Fabulous! I loved that it was pizza crust and not traditional bread. If I lived here this would be a regular place for me

    Salmon
    Christina S.

    We were excited to give this restaurant a try even though it had mix reviews. We ordered salmon and steak. Boy was it awful. The salmon was chewy and so was the steak. I couldn't even eat it. The baked potato was over done and the butter had red onions in it, it was awful all around. I was hungry and again, i just couldn't even eat it. After we were done, we literally walked over to Starbucks to get something else to get that taste out of our mouths. Sadly it was very disappointing . The service was okay. The guy was nice it's just the food was not good. Bummer, the name, menu and the deco were nice.

    We haven't been here in a while and decided to give this place a go. The pretzel and cheese as an appetizer was SO good! I'm not sure what kind of cheese they use but it was delicious! We also had the meatloaf sandwich which is still really good. We ended up splitting this as a meal and it was plenty for two people. We subbed the fries for onion rings which I didn't care for. The onion rings have a fish taste to them, so I assume they're in the same fryer as the fish and chips. My only complaint is when you get the tablet to pay, the minimum tip is defaulted to 20% and the other options are 25% and 28%. I do believe the tipping culture is a little out of control.

    They definitely nailed the rustic Alaskan lodge theme with the decor. Plenty of animal heads and skins adorn the walls. The service is fast and friendly. Our meals were standard and the drinks were good. It's a good spot to grab some decent pub fare.

    Chicken pasta
    Scott T.

    It's very difficult to address the restaurant. I believe the beautiful restaurant caters to a lot of tourists and the servers could be more genuine with their customers. From the servers to the expediters did not show sincerity or interaction with the patrons. I requested a full slab of rubs half dry and half wet. I was informed this isn't possible as only offered as an add on to a meal. The problem is simple, it could be resolved with 1/2 and 1/2 since there are people who order 1/2 a portion as an add on and leaves 1/2. The food was well prepared but the onion rings had too much batter (fried/oily) and took away the taste from the actual onion rings. The wet ribs were very good . The fish and chips (halibut) was good and the chicken pasta was satisfying. Strive to please the customer not only as a local but as a tourist. This starts with management to instill the change in hospitality to make the difference. I asked the manager about the 1/2 and 1/2 ribs and was stomped and was going to ask the chef. Always strive for perfection as your customer could be someone who makes or breaks the restaurant.

    The atmosphere was awesome and the decor was great. I had the blueberry ale and it was really good. The food was okay but lacking a little bit in flavor. But it did come out super quickly.

    Excellent place to go! Beer was great and the blackened salmon sandwich was the best I have ever tasted. Highly recommend.

    We've eaten here enough times that I understand why their star reviews range from 1 to 5. They really are all over the map. Because it's literally around the corner from where I work and it's been a rough week and their drinks are ALWAYS amazing, we decided to take our chances. I'm so glad we did. It was a 5 star experience this time. The ambiance is the Alaskan vibe locals and tourists love. All the animals and Alaskan stuff that is warm and inviting. The restaurant was packed and we were seated and waited on right away. Our waitress, Cher, was the highlight. She's one of those people I will make a point of asking for in the future because she was so awesome. I got the Paloma and the bartender used a heavy hand. Wowser. It was next level. Our maple Brussel sprout app was AMAZING. My husband couldn't finish his humongous Carnivore burger. Nor could I finish my perfect chicken and Waffles. The hand dipped chicken was fried to perfection. We'll be and be sure to ask for Cher who works at the end of the week.

    Great atmosphere, friendly staff, over 31 tap beers to try. I had the Alaskan salmon with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. Not bad an all!

The calamari was easily the best that I've ever had in my life. The chowder was absolutely fantastic. I also tried their beer flight, I don't know if I've ever mentioned beer in any of my reviews, cause I typically don't drink it. I was absolutely shocked to discover that the stout was one of my favorites, with that dark chocolate finish. All of the beers were really good, just a bit filling. Today I sampled the French dip and a slice of pizza, and both of those were absolutely fantastic. Had the calamari again, and everyone agreed that it was pretty much the best ever. Service last night was very good, our server took care to explain the food and drink options as well as answering any questions. He was very attentive and friendly. I went with a large group for lunch today and our server was excellent, she nailed every order and was friendly and quite attentive. Large groups can be a hassle, but she handled it excellently. The atmosphere last night was quite busy as you would imagine on a Friday night. That's why the good service and great food is extra impressive. We had a private room for our group lunch today, and it was quite nice as well. I would absolutely come back here again, and list them as a must visit for anyone visiting Anchorage. So far the food scene in Anchorage just doesn't seem to miss. Kudos to the management and staff for running an excellent restaurant operation and delivering both quality customer service and superior food product.

    The Elf on the Shelf Pizza = 10/10…read more Recently, we visited Anchorage and were told that we absolutely had to try Moose's Tooth. I'll admit, when I first started reading the menu, I was a little concerned I wasn't going to find something I'd like. Some of the combinations were definitely outside of what I would normally order. Then I spotted the Elf on the Shelf pizza. We asked our amazing waiter what he thought about it, and when he told us it was one of his favorites, we decided to commit and give it a try. Let me just say... MIND. BLOWN. This pizza was easily a 10/10 for me. The combination of flavors worked together so perfectly, and it ended up being one of my favorite meals from our entire Alaska trip. My only complaint? I'm back home in Arizona and we have nothing like it here! But I guess that just gives me another reason to come back to Alaska. Moose's Tooth, you officially have an Arizona girl dreaming about Elf on the Shelf pizza.

It also happened to be Monday, and the lunch special slice that day was the Call of the Wild, which was exactly the one I wanted to try. The Call of the Wild had reindeer sausage, steak, bacon, mushrooms, red peppers, cheese, and garlic cream sauce. The reindeer sausage was what sold me on it. If I'm eating pizza in Alaska, I might as well get the one with reindeer on it. It was savory, meaty, and very good. We also got a small Brewhouse Favorite with chorizo, sun-dried tomatoes, onions, cheese, and Denali sauce. The spicy chorizo and tangy tomatoes were a great combo. The thin crust was excellent. Chewy with a nice crisp edge, and sturdy enough to hold all the toppings without getting soggy. Lots of seating, plenty of parking, and a fun atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the experience was so rude and disorganized that we ended up leaving before ever getting to eat. When we arrived, we were greeted by a man in a black shirt who was immediately rude and kept interrupting my mom while she was trying to ask about a table for five. We were told there would be a wait, which was fine, but from that point on the service only got worse. We sat waiting for about 20 to 30 minutes and were never given menus or any updates, while other parties around us who were also waiting were being helped, given drinks, given menus, and kept informed about their table times. While we were waiting, we overheard what I assume was a manager, a man in a maroon shirt with tattoos, updating another party about their reservation. He told them that their reservation had been messed up: instead of having one table for six as requested, the restaurant had them down for a table for four and a separate table for two. If they wanted to actually be seated together at a table for six, they would have to wait another hour, plus an additional 40 minutes for food. Hearing that made it pretty clear that the lack of organization and communication wasn't just happening to us. After we had already been waiting, the man in the black shirt finally came back over. Instead of seating us, he told us it would actually be another 45 minutes to an hour before we would even be seated and receive food. I asked if that included the time we had already spent waiting, and he responded to me in a very dismissive and demeaning way, saying that we would not even be seated for another 45 minutes. At that point, my mom and stepdad decided we should just go somewhere else. My mom asked if the drinks could be comped given the poor communication and how the situation had been handled. His response was basically, "You'll have to take it up with them," referring to the bar. When I asked if the bar was a separate business, he ignored the question and walked away. My stepdad then had to go up to the bar and pay for four drinks, which took another 10 minutes despite there being two bartenders and very few people waiting. I can't review the food because we never got the chance to try it. We came in hoping to have a nice dinner to celebrate a college graduation, and instead we got rude service, poor communication, and a complete waste of time. We would have gladly come back another day if the staff had simply been honest, respectful, and organized from the start, but after this experience, we won't be returning.

Within 20 minutes of walking in, we were seated, served coffee and water, placed our order, and received our meals. We enjoyed classic breakfast favorites--fried eggs, patty sausage, biscuits and gravy, reindeer sausage--and the lightest, fluffiest, most perfectly prepared Belgian waffle. The experience was so impressive that we returned the next day to see whether it had been a fluke; it was not. The staff was just as friendly and efficient, and while the breakfast sandwich we added was delicious, I couldn't resist ordering another heavenly waffle.

Unfortunately, after trying two weekends in a row, I'm giving up. I completely understand that weekend breakfast/brunch is going to be busy. Waiting isn't the issue. The check-in and seating process is just incredibly disorganized. Both visits I put my name on the waitlist. The first time, I specifically asked if I could take one of two open seats at the bar and was told I still needed to join the waitlist. I did, but guests who arrived after me were eventually seated at the bar ahead of me. The second weekend, essentially the same thing happened again. There also doesn't seem to be a clear way to tell who is actually waiting versus who has just arrived. Meanwhile, I watched larger tables that had been pushed together for bigger parties remain together after those parties left, then get reset and used for smaller groups rather than being separated again. That's a lot of usable seating sitting unnecessarily occupied when you have a lobby full of people waiting. When I asked the host during my first visit why someone behind me on the waitlist had been given the bar seat I'd originally asked about, I received an apology but no real explanation or resolution. On the positive side, after spending plenty of time waiting on both visits, I can certainly confirm what others have said about the restaurant being clean and the portions looking generous coming out of the kitchen looke I genuinely wanted to try Heidi's, and I still think it may be worth visiting during slower hours. But after two consecutive weekend experiences with the same seating issues, the problem feels less like "they were busy today" and more like a process that needs some attention. Unfortunately, that's enough for me to stop trying for now.
