This is an outdoors experience (shelter is provided for when it rains!). I highly recommend the halibut. Buffet type service located at Alaskaland, so there are lots of other things to see and do before and after.
If you are looking for an unpleasant enviroment and one that reminds you of a smoke filled truck stop, the Bakery Restaurant is your place. The service is probably the worst that you can find in Fairbanks, if you are a minority. I even returned for a second dose, thinking that I may have gone on a...
Not really bad, just so mediocre. I can make better breakfast and I am not a cook.

Brisket is good. Sometimes good live music. Good service. Good beer selection. Unfortunately I was served cold ribs several times. They were obviously pre cooked and microwaved to warm up and were not hot to the bone. Side dishe of greens was terrble. Corn bread seems to be package not "home made"....
Nice, cozy and romantic environment. It is expensive and maybe not quite worth all of it both the service was excellent. I ordered the Lamb Chops which were kind of tiny for the $32 and the potatoes kind of sour but I would definitely visit it again and try a different meal.
This is the worst Italian dining experience I have ever had. The food was worse than the frozen meals purchased in a vending machine. The Hostess was efficient and seated us promptly but then we sat there for at least half an hour before our server appeared. I could see her talking to another ser...
Geraldo's is a wonderful Italian restaurant, and they're whole philosophy is garlic! garlic! garlic! which is alright with me! :) The ambience there is just like you'd want out of an Italian restaurant, dim, smells heavenly and lots of Frank Sinatra in the background. The food is very good, though...
The food was awesome and the service and the ambience made our experience even better. We recommend this restaurant highly!
It is now called called Asian Bistro to protect the plaintiffs. I travel a lot and pride myself on eating sushi and sashimi at some of the best places on earth. I stopped in after a week of work here in Alaska thinking I might get some fresh fish, if not at least frozen. It was a simple order of sas...
Awesome bulgogi. House fried rice is the bomb. Chicken soup is amazing. Service with a smile. Open until midnight Monday through Saturday. Plenty of Parking in the back. Check out Ichiban Inn Bed and Breakfast next door. A renovated historic log-cabin with a suite that sleeps four. [phone removed], ...
Food is quick and fresh
I love the service, a more friendly place I have yet to find.
The Roudup was horrible, from the food to the service. We should have known when we pulled in and there were only 4 cars in the parking lot. We stood by the door for almost 5mins before anyone even said Hello or sitted us. Burgers were brunt to a crisp and the salad bar was horrible. DO NOT EAT HERE...
Excellent menu, many different entrees to choose from. Delightful appetizers and awesome desserts. Prompt service, even when full.

extremely gooddddddddd
Soapy Smiths restaurant in Fairbanks is a lousy place to eat. The Klondike chicken sandwich was overcooked and was very plain tasting. Even the french fries were over cooked. My wife's sandwich was a turkey sub that was supposed to be on homemade bread. The sub was bland, tough and plain. The servic...
Time to check on the Chowder Salt Level as it was way over the allowed limit for a normal diet. Value is not what would bring a dinner here. It is one of the last shops holding out in a deteriorating downtown. Fairbanks is in need of a face lift and soon. Alaska has funds and they need to invest...
Overall, lunch at Soapy Smith is so so. I went off the recommendation with the crab cake burger, it was on the overwell side. The price for lunch is more than other local restaurant. The server is friendly and sarcastic. If you do not get his humor you would probably think he is rude. Restaurant dec...
We went there just after the finish of the Irondog race to eat a quick lunch. The interior is decorated with tons of Alaskan stuff memorabilia. Unfortunately they were short-staffed and it took over half an hour for a steak and cheese sandwich with fries. It was one of the priciest items and not ...
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 ...
