    The food is good but the portions are a tad on the small side for the price. The service is just…read moreok. My waitress seemed like she wasn't having it. I asked her which she preferred between 2 items and instead of giving me her opinion, she told me we're going with the 1st one because I said it 1st. She also seemed annoyed when she came to give me the hot sauce I asked for. The other server was cleaning the table next to me and asked me if I wanted the hot sauce before she put it away. I actually thought my server was going to grab it from that table to give to me, thought that'd be more efficient, but I guess she needed to walk away and do other things 1st before bringing me hot sauce. -C. F. S.: the gravy is good! One of the better ones I've had in quite a bit. The chicken fried steak was crunchy even though it was drenched in sauce. Delicious! I'm surprised that a bread item (was really hoping for a biscuit) didn't come with this dish for being almost $30. - Cajun salmon Benedict: delicious! I thought the salmon was overcooked but it was perfect! Hollandaise sauce was delicious. Not sure how it's Cajun though. The marinated tomatoes were tasty too! I would eat them on their own! Yum!

    Popped in here during our visit to Fairbanks based off of other reviews we saw and it did not…read moredisappoint. The atmosphere was chill, our server was patient, and the food....was seriously fantastic. It is one thing to have food that looks good, but when it tastes even better than it looks - that's huge! I ordered the shrimp and grits and it was the best I've ever had. Perfectly flavored and just enough spice. The honey cornbread on the side was the perfect compliment. I didn't think I'd be able to finish the entire meal but I made it happen because it was that good. My friend ordered the Dunker sandwich and it was equally delicious. The au jus was perfectly flavored and the consistency was spot on. I actually ate her leftovers for dinner, and if the leftovers were delicious, you can only imagine how it was freshly served. Very happy we came in and highly recommend!

    This is for the bar outdoor area and menu…read more The fried halibut was great. Quantity low. Just charge more. Give us 4 bites Cabbage salad was great It was warm to hot in temp. Nice surprise. It's a cross between sauerkraut and Salad. ( it looked unappetizing ) The chowder good Thick. Service was warm and friendly.

    Came here to check it out as it was really well rated on Google, but was thoroughly disappointed by…read morethe our experience here. I would not recommend it to anyone visiting Fairbanks. When we arrived, we found out that you'd need a reservation to dine in the main dining hall, so we ended up going to the Saloon side where we had to find our own seats. We sat near the pool table, and the chairs were super unstable. The staff were fine but clearly seemed busy and understaffed. It took a long time for them to bring us water and take our order. I tried flagging the waitress 2-3 times when she was passing by and felt very ignored especially as I've made eye contact with her a few times. We ended up ordering the fried seafood combo and the seafood chowder, and it ended up taking at least 20min to come out (even the soup). The dishes were all very salty and definitely needed a lot of water to go with the food. Overall, definitely not a place to go before a flight since you might not be able to get in and out very quickly, and the food was really just alright for the price. Perhaps the main dining room experience would be better but I still wouldn't recommend it given the food quality and service.
