Sheep Mountain Lodge is situated in Glacierview, on the Glenn Hwy. If you're heading to Valdez,…read moreyou'll pass it, on your left. It's very imposing yet inviting, and has wonderful mountain views
As we had decided that our normal place to eat in Glennallan is no longer "on the menu" so to speak, we decided to try Sheep Mountain Lodge, on the way home from Valdez.
It's a beautifully situated Lodge, nestling in the mountains. There's cabins too, and some RV sites. It looks like somewhere I'd love to stay to be honest.
The main building where you go for dinner is pretty classy, i have to say, and fortunately, it's not crammed with tons of stuff on the walls. Less is more, in my opinion. Our server seated us at the far end away from the bar, and we had a good view of the mountains. I honestly wasn't feeling super hungry, so i decided to go for a couple of appetizers. I ordered the Crab, Spinach, and Artichoke dip with bread, and the Fry Basket. Blake got a Burger entree.
I was presented with a medium skillet of dip, and eight pieces of bread, and an enormous tray/basket of fries. I ordered appetizers, as I thought they'd be smaller bites but these were enormous, and i admit to feeling somewhat daunted by the amount of food. The Dip was beautifully creamy, and the bread nicely toasted. Very moreish. Blake says I'm gonna get gout. The fries were wonderfully crispy. I was putting them between the slices of bread (What us English call a "chip butty") and smearing crab, spinach, artichoke dip all over it. I was pretty disgusting, i admit it. But the meager amount that i was able to eat, i did enjoy it. This would easily feed 2 people. I don;t know about the rest of the appetizers, but these 2 are definitely sharing plates - so a word to the wise. His Burger entree wasn't nearly so large as my 2 appetizers lol.
But anyway, I would definitely come back, and in hindsight, I'd order differently than i did this time, because we had an enormous amount of food, and not an enormous amount of appetite. But it was delicious. I'd love to see the cabins, they look stunning on the website.
