Quote HistoryThanks. That is one place I was worried about finding a good place to eat. I figured for the most part everything at Denali would be a tourist trap. |

It's a little more granola fair, but Flying Squirrel in Talkeetna pretty good.

We went to The Roadhouse in Talkeetna after we saw it in an episode of "Man vs Food" when we first moved up here. It was amazing. It's where we also first fell in love with Talkeetna hot sauces.

St. Elias Brewing Company in Soldotna/Kenai - good beers and pizza
Simon and Seaforts Anchorage - kind of the ubiquitous alaskan seafood and steak place |

Thanks. Adding all of those to the list. My wife is allergic to dairy so she has to run through the menu for each place beforehand, so this is making it easy. I am glad yall are giving plenty of options.

Just north of Fairbanks, the Turtle Club for a good steak.
I can't believe no one mentioned Bean's Café in Anchorage.... Most places in Alaska are OK with casual clothing, but Bean's has strict rules that must be adhered to. |

Seems like after moose's tooth everyone's jumping on the bandwagon. Moose's Tooth is ok but theres way better places to eat in Anchorage in my opinion. Not really a fan or Orso, Glacier Brew house either 
South, Arctic Roadrunner, Lucky Wishbone, Spenard Roadhouse all far superior anchorage options. DOUBLE MUSKY FOR THE WIN

Is there a comprehensive micro-brewery list for the main highways? We are traveling Anchorage-Denali-Fairbanks-McCarthy then back to Anchorage then Seward. We may add Homer to that.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is there a comprehensive micro-brewery list for the main highways? We are traveling Anchorage-Denali-Fairbanks-McCarthy then back to Anchorage then Seward. We may add Homer to that. the town of Healy is just North of the tourist trap. On the East side of the road, just north of bridge, is 49th State Brewery, largest selection of spirits, GREAT burgers, and many varieties of local beer.. well worth the stop on your way to Fairbanks. . . If you make it to Homer, try CUPS for dinner, on Pioneer Ave; Excellent fresh seafood, as well as damn fine prime rib. If you can wade through the tourists, and IF you can get IN, the Little Mermaid on the Homer Spit is REALLY, REALLY good food. You have to drive right past me to get there.. Also, Homer Brewing Co is a few blocks down the road, I can point you there. . PM when you get close, more info phone contact, etc. |

Quoted: My wife and I are going to be in Alaska this summer for 8 days. We have a pretty good idea of where we are going, where we are staying, and what we are doing for the most part. The one thing I hate to do when traveling is eat in a chain restaurant or a tourist trap. I want to find places where the locals eat or places that are a must to visit while in town. Any information on where to go and where to avoid in these towns or while traveling between these towns would be greatly appreciated. We are going to be in the following towns: Anchorage- 2 nights Seward- 2 full days/nights Soldotna- 1 night Travel between Soldotna and Talkeetna- 1 day Talkeetna- 1 night Denali National Park- 2 full days/nights Seriously: Soldotna is a strip mall. It is 90 minutes car ride from here, we go there to SHOP. Walgreens, FredMeyers, Sportsmans , the whole city is a shopping mall. 10 miles adjacent is Kenai: HomeDepot, Walmart, etc. . Denali is a Hotel chain.... That's ALL it is, built and (seasonally) populated as a resort, it is essentially a landlocked cruise ship. Nobody lives in Denali, there are no houses, no schools, it is not actually a town at all.It opens for tourists in spring, and they turn OFF the traffic lights, and everything else in Fall. |

We plan to hike in the park in Denali. There are a few trails inside the park that I want to hike. It is more than we can do in one day, so we intend to stay 2 days to be able to see what we want inside the park. Pretty much any time spent there beside eating and sleeping will be spent inside the park hiking. |
