Trivia: What is a schwabenhof? (I did look up the German word, and I will say, it sort of matches)…read more I must say, according to Google translate, I might like Blick auf die Berge instead. The view is spectacular. The beer selection matches the name. And there is representation from my favorite brewery, Weihenstephaner. The decor is rustic and fun. At first I wanted to say the food is the downside. But really, the lack of food is the downside. The fries we had with their special seasoning (is it Lawrys?) was okay, but reminded me of oven cooked frozen fries. I wish there was good German good, well, anywhere in Alaska. Service was great! Friendly, attentive.

The food: Portions are huge, the burgers are great, Mac n cheese isn't too shabby either. REALLY good fries. I hear they cut their own steaks in house but personally I haven't ordered one, the picture below was a friends and kinda tough. If you like an adult beverage, they've got a well stocked bar with local beers and a decent whiskey selection The French Onion Soup was really good. I've had worse and haven't had much better I didn't care for seared tuna but appreciated the creative liberty with the sauce Here's the real deal.....I like this place. The food isn't going to win a Michelin Star but you can tell the Kitchen is invested in the craft. The restaurant is relaxed, casual, and the people are super friendly. If you're in business attire just leaving work or bibs and boots leaving the river....this place is for you.

I had a terrible experience here. I've been to this pool bar before and was told by staff that if…read moreno one comes by to help quickly, it's okay to grab the pool balls and start playing. So I did exactly that -- nothing out of line. Suddenly, a worker that I'm familiar with named Joe , cussed me out, and kicked me out in front of everyone. Totally unprofessional and uncalled for. I wasn't being rude, I wasn't causing problems -- just following what I'd been told on previous visits. This review is not the for the restaurant itself but more for the specific worker that I've had a multiple issues with before.

Just happened to go on a super busy day that was also understaffed. Recommend it, maybe if the parking lot is full, check it out on a different day.

It's located quite a ways down in the knik area, if you are not looking for it..you might miss it. The outside doesn't quite give you that welcoming vibe but thanks to fb..figured we suck it up and try it. They always promote these amazing food specials and the pictures are drool worthy..so yeah it piqued my curiosity. The interior is definitely surprising. It's nice, humble, warm, and yeah..welcoming. The staff is very pleasant and greets you immediately upon entering. This place has a full bar..so drinks helps ease that uncertainty for sure. The food..the food is delicious! We ordered the ribs special and it comes with all the fixings (roll, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked beans) and it's a lot of food for a great price. They also have a slow smoked prime rib special offered that night as well (Saturday). The food is seriously fire..best smoked ribs I have had since living in Texas. It's definitely worth stopping in for the food. The drinks are good and strong! Perfect! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend if you are looking for good BBQ and yummy classic take on American dining.

Alaskana Social Club is truly a hidden gem. If you know, you know…read more The food is some of the freshest you'll find--thoughtfully made right here in Alaska. Their salads are always crisp and vibrant, and the revolving menu keeps things exciting while still feeling intentional and local. You can tell real care goes into every plate. The space itself is absolutely beautiful with an upscale, cozy feel that makes you want to linger. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which just adds to the whole experience. And a big shoutout to the drinks--so good, even for us sober girls. Most of their cocktails can be made non-alcoholic, and they're just as delicious and thoughtfully crafted. This is one of those places you bring friends to when you want to impress them, but also somewhere you'll keep coming back to yourself. Fresh food, local heart, stunning atmosphere--10/10. Would absolutely recommend.

Let me start by saying I appreciate all kinds of pizza, from classic to creative. The other day,…read morebefore catching a movie nearby, I stopped into Locals with a craving for pepperoni pizza. And I'm really glad I did. From the moment we walked in, the service was on point; friendly, prompt, and genuinely welcoming. We were greeted right away, got our drinks sorted, and placed our pizza order without any wait. We went with a classic pepperoni pizza, with extra pepperoni for good measure. The menu offers a wide range of beers on tap, with plenty of great local and regional options to choose from. Our pizza came out quickly, and it looked every bit as good as it tasted. The cheese was perfectly melted and just the right amount, rich and flavorful without being heavy. The pepperoni was spot on. Slightly crisped at the edges, which added that extra layer of flavor that makes all the difference. The crust hit the sweet spot: light and airy inside, crisp on the outside, and with a nice depth of flavor. The atmosphere is laid-back and full of local charm, with pieces of Alaskana history on the walls and plenty of natural light streaming in through the windows. It's comfortable and unpretentious--exactly the kind of place you want in your regular rotation. Locals may fly under the radar, but it shouldn't. The food is great, the service is even better, and the vibe is genuinely enjoyable. If you haven't been in a while, or ever, it's definitely worth a visit.
