Hi -
We are about to spend 10 days in Alaska for the first time. I have done some reading and would love input and suggestions on some dining options. We love local, regional dining experiences, high, low, dives and shacks welcome. Except for Talkeetna, we are two nights in each place.

Some thoughts so far:

Anchorage
Simon & Seaforts or Jenn's for our first night?
Sack's or Spennard Roadhouse or Gwennie's for our second night? (I know, all very different)
Reindeer dogs at the hot dog stand

Talkeetna
Lunch at Talkeetna Road House
Dinner at West Rib

Any suggestions please for a great local place to stop for lunch on our way back to Anchorage? In Palmer perhaps? We'll be in a car.

Seward
Lunch at Smoke Shack Train Wreck
Dinner at Salmon Bake
Need another dinner - Ray's? Chinooks? Something else?

Drive from Seward to Homer
Would love lunch suggestions as we'll be doing this drive in both directions.

For dinner or lunch you didn't list Club Paris, Snow Goose, Pizza Plaza.

Enroute from Seward to Anchorage try the Turnagain Arm Pit BarBQ or Chair 5 for pizza

Enroute going thru Wasilla try Krazy Moose Subs or in Palmer try Turkey Red and in Eagle River Eagle River Ale House.

Ah - I wish I was going back.

Your list looks great--I'm sorry only one person responded!

Do you have any feedback about the places you mentioned in your post? We're doing a similar trip starting this Saturday . . . .

Thanks in advance!

Hi there

Our favorite meals were the following:

Talkeetna Road House - old time road house
Smoke Shack Train Wreck - dive-ish
Salmon Bake - rustic, local
The Saltry - fantastic boat ride on The Danny J out to this delicious local spot in a beautiful setting
FYI - we did not much care for The Double Musky. Too many people. Someone we met on the plane home said that Jack Spratt was their favorite meal of their trip.

Safe travels. Enjoy a fantastic time. We loved Alaska.

Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate the recommendations--we'll try them out.

Take care,
Stephanie

Probably too late, but I think the Double Musky is still a great bet for Girdwood.
