Lucky Wishbone Burgers ·$$

We are a landmark restaurant in the heart of Anchorage. Opened in 1955. 63 years in business and still going strong. Best pan-fried chicken and hand-pattied hamburgers. And don't forget the milkshakes; they are the best.. try our Fresh Frozen strawberry or our Oreo cookie shake they are the most popular flavors but we carry over 40 different choices... We are open seven days a week for inside service or carry out.
