What customers say?

“ Not sure why this place has such a low star rating.... their food was fine! Wait Staff was fine! We enjoyed our burgers & drinks. Food came out super quick after ordering, too. ”

“ The salmon blt was fresh and served with a smear of garlic aoli. Delish!!! And our server Mary was the sweetest! She helped us with the menu and her recommendations were spot on. She even showed us some spectacular auroa pics. Eat here if you have a wait for a flight. ”

- Cathy Tapia -

“ Just giving credit where it is due. Despite the other reviews my wife and I sat down (since the sign says to seat yourself) and we had someone take our order within about 6 or 7 minutes. We did make the most of it by having our choices ready to go when she got to our table to take our order. The food was really good. The reindeer sausage chili was hearty and the pretzels hit the salty craving I was having. Dirty chips was so good we finished the plate and it was huge. ”

- Mike (mikedmd) -

“ The food was excellent. We had hamburger, chili, salmon burger, and barbecue sandwich. Everyone said their food was great. Chili was spicy and delicious french fries were also good. It does take a long time to order, but the food was then out on our table after a very short wait. ”

- Randi Topps -

“ We were in Fairbanks for a week, and we ate this before our flight home. It was one of the best meals we had the entire time. Food tasted extremely fresh. I had the turkey sandwich with pub chips and my fiancé had the pepperoni flatbread pizza. Both were so delicious. Our waiter was the bartender, and we still had exceptional service despite how busy the bar was. I would highly recommend. ”

- Heather Welch -

“ This is the only full restaurant in the airport. The service was a little slow but it looked like they were short staffed. The food was good and they had plenty of seating. ”

- Pamela Olesen -

“ The BLT was surprisingly good for airport food; the lady did such a great job serving. She also helped us find our dental brace. Much appreciated! Good service and good people here. Much love to this place ”
