Fairbanks Restaurant Guide & Dining Reviews
Featured Review


Good food, very attentive (almost overly friendly) service. The best thing about it is the prices, which are uncommonly low for this sort of food, and they haven't gone up with the inflation of every other restaurant in Fairbanks. Awesome! I haven't had too much of the menu, but the only thing I had and didn't like was the clam chowder.![]()
