Nice small place in a little L shaped strip mall right before the stop sign that is downtown. Like the covered picnic tables outside but also a couple under a covered area right where you order food . Highly recommend this place.

It's still fun to take new visitors up to the second floor to check out all the local Alaska-themed decor and items. They even have some fun stickers, like one showing a squirrel as the mayor. But other than that, the energy just isn't the same as in the summer. The store gives me the same vibe as living in Nome--prices are high! For example, Hershey's chocolate syrup was $9.60, and a can of something was $5. That should give you an idea of what to expect. As always, the staff was friendly, and since this is one of the only places open in the winter, you might as well stop in and check it out.

Spend $10 and take a tour of their facility and learn about birch sap and the syrup making process! You will get to do a tasting of various syrups including their special reserve. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The gift shop itself has all of their items with samples of their products for tasting. I enjoyed the birch brew, brittle, lingonberry jam and the rhubarb syrup! A must stop for any Alaskan and tourist.

I am all about getting things as local as possible to bring back during my travels so knew I wanted…read moreto get some birch syrup when I was in Alaska. Similar to maple syrup as you tap the birch trees to get the sap, but with its own unique flavor, I had to bring one back. Stopped here on the way to and from Denali area. On the way in, I got to sample the different runs of birch syrup and liked the early run the best. It does cost more than maple syrup but since you won't find this back home, worth picking up a bottle. On the way out, I picked up a birch water to go along with our lunch at their bench before getting birch ice cream and the seasonal fireweed and honey ice cream that was available that day.

Good chicken wings and fried cauliflower. Both were good.
