I would recommend going to this casual eatery for some good comfort food and friendly service . We will for sure be back . read more

The White Spot Cafe - Halibut Sandwich - American Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I usually like this spot but the last few times I've been there it seems to be going to hell. I went there yesterday, took some co-workers, for lunch. We arrived and sat and it took 15 minutes after ordering drinks before they finally showed up. Another 15 to place an order and we were there for another 45 before our food came out. There were several tables that came in after us, and even a walk-in order to go, that had food before us. When is it acceptable to take 1.5 hours to get lunch at a diner? The servers seemed overwhelmed and unorganized. Maybe they need more help, I don't know. Not sure I'll be going back to this place for lunch again, good food doesn't make up for substandard service, EVER. read more

One goes here for the halibut. The fried halibut sandwich is probably your best choice over the grilled, though I've had both. Unlike a lot of other fried sandwiches, the flavor of the halibut still comes through. You want the fries, though sometimes they should probably do a better job of changing the oil more frequently. They have Mexican Coke, which is always a plus. Street parking. Bring at least $30. The sandwiches alone are $19. They have been around since 1959, the kind of place you'd expect to see on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. read more

This was my first stop when I came to Anchorage. The server was not welcoming at all. When someone in my party mentioned they wanted a milkshake, the server shared it was their least favorite item to make and they weren't in the mood to make it today. The ambiance was okay, but our food came out cold. read more

Great service...eclectic non-atmosphere but great food. Specially the variety of grilled cheese sandwiches. Give U the a try! The locals are right! read more

How could I have lived here all these years and never until now eaten here? Wow. My chicken burger was excellent. Chicken was cooked just right and the server made sure the ingredients were just what I asked for. I never thought I'd say this, but the fries are as good as Long Branch Saloon! My sister ordered another sandwich with onion rings and Cole slaw which were just as good and tasty. Service was excellent. Don't wait as long as I have. Just go! read more

This was one of my FAV spots in Anchorage. I ordered the famous Halibut fish sandwich and I cannot wait to go back and order another! It was so fresh and even though it was fried, it was not heavy and greasy. I also ordered the Smoked Salmon Chowder which was flavorful and gave me the warmth I needed. The service was wonderful and welcoming and gave family vibes. Another unique feature is its self-community seating and you may be able to gain a new pal by sharing a table with one of the locals! read more

The White Spot Cafe - Soup of the day! - American Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

The servers were very friendly, and we got our food fairly quickly. The restaurant was decently decorated, nothing too spectacular. The steak was cooked well and the fries were very good. Overall just a nice pit stop for lunch. read more

I came down here on a whim for lunch the other day while running errands. White Spot Cafe is one of the oldest restaurants in Anchorage along with Peggy's Cafe and The Lucky Wishbone. They have been in business since 1946. The place is very popular with the working lunch crowd and locals who have been dining there for years. I was compelled to visit this place for lunch after reading several positive Yelp reviews on their Halibut Sandwich. The dining room is modest and cozy with a wraparound counter around the kitchen where customers can sit and watch the cook preparing meals. Plenty of memorabilia line the walls along with two large TV screens for watching sports. I was immediately greeted by the staff upon entering and was told to take a seat anywhere. I was ready to try the Halibut Sandwich and I immediately placed my order after receiving my drink. The wait was only a few minutes before it arrived at the table. The sandwich was amazing with a thick filet of halibut and the breading fried to a perfect crisp. Sliced tomatoes, diced lettuce, a slice of American cheese and lots of tartar sauce provided excellent additions to the halibut. This was one of the best fish sandwiches I have had in recent memory. Sometimes simplicity is all that's needed for a great meal. Other items on their menu include burgers like Patty Melts, the Smokey Burger (BBQ sauce, American cheese, and onion rings), and the Loaded Burger (grilled onions, mushrooms, bacon, American and Swiss cheese), a Halibut Caesar Salad, and of course breakfast items like Reindeer Sausage Omelettes and Blueberry Hot Cakes. Good news for those on low-carb or Keto diets: any burger can be ordered as a bowl without the bun. It should come as no surprise that the friendliness of the employees, the warm atmosphere, and the quality of the food have kept this place going for many decades and shows no signs of slowing down. read more

This classic downtown Anchorage cafe, has been around longer than I've been alive. It still has an 80's look about it, which helped set the scene for their cameo in the 2013 film "Frozen Ground," starring Nicholas Cage. Today, I had the pleasure of ordering breakfast via DoorDash. Chicken fried steak, blueberry stack, biscuits and gravy plate and (2) Mexican cokes. Initially, we only received half our order. We requested a re-delivery of the items not received. The second delivery was fast and included extra Mexican cokes for the inconvenience, we appreciated that. We order chicken fried steaks a lot, and although this one wasn't our favorite, in both taste and texture, it was still good. As a whole, everything was seasoned well, with larger portions to match the higher price points. The blueberry stack was one huge pancake that was almost as thick as it was wide (Im exaggerating...but it was thick). I look forward to trying their lunch menu items soon. read more

I have been going to the white spot for years. If you know, you know. The halibut sandwich is hands down the best in Anchorage IMO. But the burgers are a quick second. Homemade French fries, soups, great breakfast options for early risers. Today, I came in for lunch and got to enjoy watching dog sled teams for the Iditarod being pulled right past the entrance doors down fourth ave. Historical spot for great food and Alaskan nostalgia. read more

The White Spot Cafe - Cheeseburger no tomatoes substitute fries for pepper Jack cheese sticks. Scrumptious!!! - American Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

In advance of my trip to Anchorage, I had already bookmarked this local eatery since many online forums raved about the fried halibut sandwich. I had a late lunch around 3pm so it wasn't very busy. My food order was of course the fried halibut sandwich.. the tougher choice was which local beer to pair it with. I went with the Agave Gold and it was a good choice. The halibut sandwich was pretty good -- large piece of halibut fried to a golden crisp.. almost perfect except that mine was a tad overcooked so it wasn't as moist. Nothing that some extra tartar sauce couldn't fix though. Make sure you come hungry as I was full halfway through eating my sandwich. Although I ordered fries, I think coleslaw would've been a better choice as you could easily add it into your sandwich to make it more moist. It's listed as USA Today's must try sandwich in Alaska so definitely check it out! read more

Small local eatery that was recommended by local people. We arrived too late for breakfast so we had lunch. The halibut sandwich was wonderful. A large piece of fish, fried and seasoned wonderfully. The coleslaw was very tasty and served in a half pint Mason jar. Although far away from the South, the sweet tea was spot on! Stephanie our was very friendly and quick with your food. Will return upon the next visit. read more

Get the Halibut sandwich! It was So good. Down to earth spot that has good vibes and food.

The halibut plate is just worth it. No questions or ambiance just good food. If you want to eat go here.

I have been going to the White Spot for breakfast for years. I travel to ANC for work year round. Everything is delicious. Counter service or at the tables, the service is good. The kitchen is right behind the counter and you can watch them make everything from scratch. I highly recommend the White Spot. It's a local establishment that deserves your support. read more

Small and convenient. Got a table and the waitress was very courteous. The food was good and plentiful. Wife ordered the blueberry pancake and it was amazing. Gotta try the jams. I had a meet omelet which was filling and pretty good too. read more

Great spot for a lunch of comfort food or a burger. This smallish spot in downtown Anchorage serves a busy lunch fare, and service can be a bit slow due to the limited wait staff. The food, however, won't disappoint. Anything with halibut is excellent. read more

It was fine. It's a typical greasy spoon place. Food was about what you'd get at Sami's or Kriners. Nothing special but you won't walk away hungry. It does have history and OG Alaska ambiance. Food was mid. read more

Great food. Fun atmosphere. Good and helpful staff. Reindeer chili recommended. Thanks read more

We almost passed this place up because it looks a little shabby on the outside, but this is a great little cafe in downtown Anchorage with super service. My husband had the French Toast Plate, and I had the Veggie omelette; both were delicious! The Hot Cake Plate, which we did not order but looked delicious, was ginormous--the pancake was bigger than the plate. It's definitely worth a stop! read more

The White Spot Cafe - Hot Cake Plate - American Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

One night stay at Aviator Hotel.....looking for a hot breakfast. The White Spot was perfect. Ordered hot tea and ham and cheese omelette. The plate arrived and I thought I will never finish all this food. Well...I started eating and ended up with a clean plate. This is a perfect cafe for breakfast and lunch. I lived in New Jersey and have been to many diners. This is as good as it gets. read more

This landmark has remained one of the best places to eat in Anchorage. Recently I brought along some visiting family. They really enjoyed themselves. The food is always great and prices are very fair. There burgers, salads, old style fries and Halibut are some of our favorites anyway. The place was busy but despite that the service was outstanding! read more

Not what I expected, but nevertheless the food was not bad. After our breakfast at Snow City Café on a previous morning, it was pretty hard to top it, but White Spot did a good job. We arrived at around 10:30am and the café was not crowded at all. The restaurant was pretty small and had the look and feel of a small diner, but the menu was much smaller. Our waitress was very nice, but she also stated she was new as well. Nevertheless, we had a once over of the (outdated) menu and were ready to order. I went with a more popular choice, the biscuits and gravy, and my other half went with the Reindeer Sausage Omelette. Biscuits and Gravy - This was, as expected, literally an order of biscuits and gravy. Specifically, there were 2 biscuits in here with a ton of white gravy on it. Apparently, it's one of their most popular dishes because we got the last order of it! The gravy was really tasty and it was a really good biscuits and gravy. I can't say anything blew me away about it though. Reindeer Sausage Omelette - The omelette was enormous and really well-made! We weren't a huge fan of the reindeer sausage meat though. Also, the order came with a large order of fries so there's no need to order a side of it. Some of the fries were a bit burnt, but overall the plate was not bad. It was OK in my girlfriend's eyes. There's nothing glamorous about White Spot Café. It was a simple, sit-down and eat type of joint with not a lot of frills. A lot of the seats were ripped or not in the greatest condition. There was also one booth table, by the window, that was missing a booth! We still enjoyed ourselves here and, at the least, I enjoyed the food. Same couldn't be said about my other half. read more

Ben eating at the white for almost 40 years. Good food and good service. Halibut sandwiches the best

Alrighty, so the halibut sandwich was worth every penny - delicious breading and fresh fish! We paired it with their onion rings which must have had that same yummy breading. Great service by our server rounded out a terrific meal. read more

Great food, ambience, and service. My wife and I walked here from a local motel for a late breakfast. She had reindeer omelette, I had blueberry pancake with eggs and bacon.

It was good when I was a kid in the 60's and it's still great. To me it's part of the history of Alaska. Lenora was a character but boy were her burgers wonderful (and generous). The current owners have continued the legacy with their burgers, fries, and their famous halibut sandwich. read more

Enjoyed our visit to the White Spot for lunch. Had to have the halibut sandwich and wasn't disappointed. Very tasty.

The waitress was amazing, but the food lacked flavor. If you love biscuits and gravy, pass on that here. The biscuits looked and tasted like Pillsbury biscuits and the gravy lacked flavor. Hot sauce and ketchup helps to make anything edible. Located downtown, so be prepared to pay for parking. Can't comment on lunch items, since we had breakfast. read more
