Gwennies Old Alaska Restaurant American Restaurant ·$$

A real Alaskan experience, this restaurant has scads of memorabilia on its walls and in displays. President Carter and the first lady once ate here while passing through Anchorage. Down-to-earth, friendly Alaskans - who are happy to share what they know of Alaska - operate this restaurant. Meals are served all day, and you may expect large Alaskan portions. Have your omelet with reindeer sausage, or a grilled halibut sandwich for lunch. Dinner options include barbecued salmon, and wine and beer is available.

3.5/5 To me this place embodies an old style Alaskan joint, part hole in the wall bar, part greasy spoon diner. Decorations are cheeky and perfect to bring any tourist to but objectively the food...
