Beneath the historic New York Hotel is this wood-paneled cafe which doesn't seem to have changed much decor-wise since its Roaring 1920s opening – if you…
Juneau

Southeast Alaska
Arrive early at Papa Bear's: the place does a roaring takeaway trade, meaning you may end up waiting an hour or more for your pie. The place specializes…

Juneau

The swankiest restaurant in Dutch Harbor and, by definition, the Aleutian Islands, the Chart Room has more meat than seafood on its menu. It’s best known…
Ketchikan
At the Gilmore Hotel, this keg and chowder house has a seafood-heavy menu, a wonderful bar and 1920s decor. The three kinds of homemade chowder are good,…
Alaska
You can get pancakes pretty much anywhere in the US, but only in the Niggivikut can you enjoy them while gazing in wonder at the iceberg-choked Arctic…
Anchorage

Alaska

Southeast Alaska
Little more than a food truck with an awning glued on the side, Mexican-run Carmen’s Corner satisfies Petersburg’s small contingent of Latino cannery…
Sam & Lee’s Chinese Restaurant
Alaska
Don't be fooled by the name – yes, there's Chinese food dishes like cashew chicken, but this joint also has good American-style breakfasts and a…
South Restaurant & Coffee House
Anchorage
One of Anchorage's newest restaurants has a drinks menu emphasizing creative gin cocktails. Food options run from small plates and salads to butter…
Fairbanks
In a city founded by an Italian, one would expect a decent ristorante and Gambardella's does the trick. The stick-to-your-ribs pizza and pasta are a…
Big Daddy's BBQ & Banquet Hall

This must be, as the owners claim, the northernmost Southern barbecue in the USA, and if you like slow-smoked ribs, juicy brisket, bowls of baked beans…
Juneau
The top station of the Mt Roberts Tramway supports this large restaurant which, not surprisingly, sports the best views in town. Highlights include the…
Seward

Ketchikan
Ketchikan’s favorite burger joint is definitely not a chain. Ten varieties, including one with a Polish sausage and a hamburger patty, plus 30 flavors of…
Fairbanks
Though bizarrely situated behind a pair of car dealerships off Danby St, Cookie Jar lives up to its name as a great spot to indulge a sweet tooth. It's…
Fairbanks
This tiny spot, little more than an ordering window and some basic tables, was opened by a Texan who missed the beautiful tacos of his homeland. Here you…
Southeast Alaska

Fairbanks
This cavernous, slightly overdone brewpub – the northernmost microbrewery in the US – makes jolly good beer, and plenty of people come just for the pub…
Ketchikan
The size of a small trailer, this seafood shack close to the Water St tunnel does a good rendition of fish and chips: everything down to the tartar sauce…
