Never had a bad meal here! Good service, clean, timely and tasty dishes. Very well managed and operated. I'll go Jere whenever I have the opportunity because they never disappoint! A+ read more

The wait time was pretty long on a Friday night. However, we finally got seated after waiting for over an hour for a table of 4. The atmosphere is loud and busy. Our table ordered the nachos, yak burger, crab grilled cheese, fish tacos, and mushroom pizza. The crab grilled cheese definitely used imitation crab as I could clearly see and taste the artificial stringy texture of the "crab meat." But overall, the grilled cheese tasted pretty good despite using imitation crab meat. The yak burger was incredibly juicy and tender and paired well with the sauce in the burger. The pizza and tacos were sub par, and I would probably not order it again in the future. Our server was pretty cold to us, which we thought was strange. He barely checked up on our table and took a long time to refill our waters. We asked for the check and to-go boxes at the same time and had to wait an extra 25 minutes for him to bring the to-go box after paying for the check. He also stood over me as I was typing in the tip amount on the credit card machine which made me incredibly uncomfortable. Overall the food is not bad, but the service and wait time was very off putting. read more

This was always one of my favorite places in Anchorage. Since moving out of state I have not been able to find a breeding restaurant with as good of atmosphere or menu. The staff was always delightful, especially the staff who worked trivia nights. It was a little on the pricy side, but so worth it. read more

I visited on a Saturday around 5pm for an early dinner. The bar area was crowded. I took this as a good sign. Seating was opened for you to sit anywhere. I found a nice table near the window. Loved the rustic decor. It made me feel like I was in an Alaskan Lodge having a drink and dinner. I wanted to try some of the Alaskan caught fish I had seen advertised in the area. The halibut tacos were amazing. I chose the beer batter for the fish in the taco. The fish pieces were generous filling the taco. The added slaw made them messy but oh so good to eat. Service was good even with the large crowd. The server was attentive and I did not wait long for my order to be delivered to my table. Would highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

The best food we could find in Anchorage. Nearby the Hilton hotels and has fantastic seafood. Very popular so prepare for a wait with a large party. Our favorite was the Parmesan halibut and the crab grilled cheese. Delicious and cozy atmosphere, definitely get the seafood dishes! read more

My husband and I have stopped by here twice and the first time we came was probably not the greatest experience that I should base this review on but it definitely has a great impact on our second time coming back. We somehow ended up at the back entrance which was absolutely packed and we ended up grabbing something from the food truck in the back. In total to wait in line and order/wait for food it was probably closer to ~20 minute wait (around 7:30ish on a Thursday night). My husband got a reindeer brat and a 907 ale, I ended up with a strawberry lemonade and 50th state pig wings (definitely not what I was expecting for the price point, but besides the point). Overall Thursday night kind of turned us off from trying here again. But I read that their fish and chips were the best in town so we had to come back just to try. Friday around 2 we had a short 15 minute wait and our service was quick and fast. We sat inside and it was amazing/beautiful views! Our server was great and attentive, out of the 6 places we've tried in Alaska for fish and chips this one was 3/6! Not bad but just a little dry on the fish and the batter was a little heavier than our top two places. Overall 3/5. read more

I got the fish and chips and a couple of gin and soda waters. The food was phenomenal! The halibut was so perfectly cooked and still very moist inside. Portion size was a bit small but I ate everything on the plate. Would definitely come here again. read more

49th State makes their own drinks.... It's what they are popular for. It took more than 10 minutes before someone acknowledged us or offered to get us drinks. Once we were served, the waitress was good and gave recommendations. She said the Fish and Chips were a healthy choice - not greasy (not true). The atmosphere here surprised us. The main floor is self seating and the two floors above have reservations. For a place that was busy; the sound didn't echo off the walls, the lighting was dim enough but well lit. The music was calming. This and the drinks we would come back for - and the opportunity to find the one thing on their menu they are amazing at.... We got the crab spinach dip as an appetizer with chips. This was good with maybe a little too much cheese - still good. My husband got the seafood chowder; he said the Rolls were better than the chowder. I had the Fish and Chips. Starting with what should have been what they say they are known for, the fish its self had no flavor other than the grease it was fried in. No salt, pepper or anything. The fish was also overcooked and very dry - with grease mixed in. The fries were not anything special but better than the Fish. read more

I regret going there. This place was recommended by many, many people as an amazing place with amazing food, but I was extremely disappointed. First of all, there's a huge line. No matter the time of the day you're going, you will wait. Second of all, the food was awful: it costed over $100 for two people but the food was worse than mediocre. The cauliflower appetizer was disgusting due to the sause, absolutely awful, couldn't eat more than two pieces. The burger was bad, the drinks were very weak. I usually never regret going to restaurant but I regret going to this one. Don't waste your time, there are plenty better places. read more

The place was busy, so it's obviously a popular spot. We were able to find some seats at a round table with a little fireplace in the middle. There were a lot of options on the menu. I went with the King Crabby Melt. It domes with a small amount of their seafood chowder and fries. The sandwich was really good, the chowder was good, and the fries were really excellent. We also had very good and very friendly service! read more

We stopped in for lunch during a day in downtown Anchorage. We grabbed a nice table by the window that had a beautiful view of the water. My husband tried the Adventure Flight of beers and the Yak Burger, and he enjoyed both of them. I had an Artic Roots cider and the Crabby Grilled Cheese with a side of seafood chowder. Both were delicious! The sandwich had a lot of crab in it, too. Our server was nice and fast. We really enjoyed our meal. read more

Stopped in for 2 meals on our short visit in Anchorage. We came in late both nights and was surprisingly pretty busy but able to get a table for our group each night. Service was all friendly and fairly fast. Beers were good and food was fresh and delish. The burgers were juicy and loved the ones we tried. The chili was hearty and tasted so good. Fish and chips were fine but didn't seem anything too special. Great atmosphere and would come back again to try other food items and beer! read more

If you are in Anchorage stop by 49th State Brewing. They are a brewery and have a large traction of beers. If you are not into craft beer they also have a full bar. Staff were friendly. The food is delicious with large portions. Try their house made fry sauce. It was excellent! They do get busy during peak hours so you may have a wait, but the food was worth it! read more

This is, per many locals, the place to go. Since Alaska is the 49th State, the name makes a whole lot of sense. Be forewarned- it's busy. We went at 4:45 figuring we would be ahead of the dinner crowd. (Buzzer buzzing) Wrong! There was a 45 minute wait for inside and outside. Bar seating provides fast service with the full menu. Highly recommend seating there if you're just in for the food. BUT - there are great views outside! read more

There's a reason this location is crowded! It's worth the wait. The beer selection is extensive, and the food is so good! The staff is friendly and attentive. This is a great place to watch a game or grab a fun meal with friends and co-workers. It can be a bit noisy, so first dates and business meets may not be easy here, but no one will leave hungry, for sure. 100% recommended! read more

Great food, ambiance, and good beers! Definitely worth checking out. I came here twice so it's definitely a good place. The only reason why it's not a 5 star is because it took a while for my food to come when I came on the first day. I could I would give it this place a 4.8 stars. Servers were cool and made you feel welcomed. read more

We came for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon in January 2025. They were pretty dead. The bottom floor is all open seating. We chose to go upstairs. Our server was ok. She kind of acted like she didn't want to be there. By the end she had perked up a bit. We got two beer flights and I was surprised they were out of quite of bit of the beers. They had a s'mores stout that was pretty good. They also had an apple pie ale and it tasted like apple pie. It was interesting. The soft pretzel with beer cheese is really good. For lunch I had the crab grilled cheese and I did not like it. I should have known when I order crab sandwiches or anything other than straight crab it tastes really fishy. Plus the cheese was a strange kind and it was barely melted. Fries were ok and the seafood chowder wasn't bad. I'm just not into the food I guess here. read more

My husband and I came here on a whim. We wanted to sit on either the second floor balcony or the roof and the wait was only about 30 minutes even with the pride celebration! VERY LGBTQ+ Friendly!! While you wait they have a FULL beer garden on the lowest level where you can even get brats and pretzels etc while you wait OR instead! We ended up only waiting about 10-15 minutes and were seated on the rooftop! This is a very trendy locations with incredible views; mountains, ocean and city. You get to watch small aircraft fly all around you almost level to you. Our server was super fast and nice, he explained the menu very well as first timers and was patient when I couldn't decide on some options. I ordered the blueberry pie which was delicious! I'm not sure how much alcohol they put it in it but if it's a lot then it is DANGEROUS. My husband ordered the arctic roots Alaska cider which was like a more bitter apple orchard. For food, we ordered the Mexican street corn for a starter. It was pretty good, all though it was very lemony which my hubby didn't like. I wish it would have had more mayo in it like true Mexican corn. I got the yak burger as my entree, it was very good, my only recommendation would be for them to make the patty bigger or the buns smaller so you're not getting mouthfuls of just bread. The Husband got the twin peaks burger which surprisingly was just meat cheese and buns aside from pickles. It was very good though!! I knocked it down one star only because some of the plates had crusted old food on them. Very minimal, but still.. read more

This place was recommended because of the location. The view is really beautiful and the atmosphere is upbeat. They have Yak Burgers which are a must have and was really good and grainy! The Yak burger was cooked perfectly and all burgers have a cheese or spicy sauce. I had the ELK burger which was ok. I definitely recommend the Yak burger. The rest of our friends had fish and chips and burgers which were all yummy. Service is ok. Most of the workers were there for summer and our waiter announced more then once that he was tired and ready to go home which was as a bit unprofessional along with catching him a few times drinking beer in the waiter area. All in all it was good. I definitely recommended the view and the beer. The specialty drinks are a bit too expensive for the taste so I stuck to beer! read more

This place is a consistently an okay place to eat. The service standard is okay. When I went this past week, my aunt had to ask four times for her drink to be brought to her, but that's not always the case. I think it very much depends on who is your server. The atmosphere is the best part of this place. When we sit upstairs, the lower lights makes the room so cozy. The music is a little loud, but not unbearable. I love the mac and cheese. My sister had the Alaska King Crab Ravioli and there was something off with the sauce. We didn't enjoy/finish that. The NY Strip was to die for and I don't usually like steak. read more

Super busy bar at happy hour, but well worth the wait! They brew their own beer and sodas. I tried the blueberry cream soda today-so good! Portions are huge! Fajita salad had what was clearly a house made dressing and the steak was perfectly medium rare. read more

Was a bit let down with their signature Yak burger. Found the beef and the pretzel bun to be a bit dry. The tots were also cold and soft. For the price, I would not recommend this entree. The wedge salad was great though. It was a hefty portion of fresh, crisp salad topped with a load of bacon pieces. The clam chowder was also good, with a decent amount of clam pieces. We waited quite some time for our food to come out with no updates from the staff. And it was frustrating when the appetizers came out after the entrees. They also hid a kitchen service charge in the bill which I hadn't seen before. read more

We loved this place. It's our first time in Alaska, so we figured we had to try their popular brewhouses - and this one did not disappoint! Even though it was a little rainy, we sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful view of the mountains in the distance. They even gave us blankets!! We got the beer flight to try out their brews and REALLY loved the "smok" one. It tastes like a delicious campfire. Their food was spectacular, was not expecting greatness from a brewery but they delivered! Never had elk before, yummy. Seafood chowder was delicious and had loads of variety in it. I want to come back here (if i can) and get a sweatshirt so I can rep em around LA! read more

The ambiance, the food... so good! A place you'll want to visit. We had to come twice! We came to dine on a Friday night in April. We were invited to seat ourselves and found two spots around a gas fire pit. We ordered their specialty drafts, and for dinner, a Poke Bowl, and Fish and Chips. We can both say that the Fish and Chips were firm yet tender like eating a white steak. Juicy and breaded to perfection. The Poke Bowl was deconstructed. The freshness and compilation of different flavors made it hard to resist eating the entire thing! Portions were perfect! Service was expected to be a little slower, as it was packed!!! Our second visit was just as good! Visit their gift shop for some Flight Glasses to take home, shirts, hats, and more! read more

When in Anchorage, stopping by 49th State Brewing is a must. Pro tip: if you aren't able to make reservations online, stop by anyway and take a chance like we did. Turns out the app wasn't working and they weren't booked up. This is a massive place and they are really efficient. Our waitstaff was incredibly, friendly and helped us narrow down a few things from the menu. We sat on the rooftop deck - yes, completely worth the wait. Gorgeous views and a slight breeze in the air made the night even more yummy. The food did not disappoint. Yelpers helped with fabulous pics and descriptions and we ended up ordering a few burgers and the meatloaf (so good and such cool presentation). Folks are great here: fast, efficient and attentive. We were well taken care of. And wow, the burgers were amazing. Loved the pretzel bun and tots. Totally wish we had another few nights in Anchorage. If you're there and you're reading this, I promise you a great meal, a great view and great service. Go. read more

Shocking decline in Quality I'm appalled and disappointed. We ordered pickup from 49th State, a place we used to like, and the experience was insulting from start to finish. First red flag: our 4-pack of sodas wasn't in the bag. We went back to the counter and were told they were sold out after we had already paid. No one checked the receipt, no one said anything until we confronted them. Were we just supposed to walk out and eat the loss? Still, we held out hope for the food. That was a mistake. The brewpub nachos with added steak (which we paid extra for) came with no steak at all, no toppings at all too. Just stale, bland chips and cheap cheese. Zero seasoning. It looked and tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp all day. And the blueberry pie? It's supposed to come with vanilla ice cream in a separate cup. This time, someone had smeared the melted ice cream inside the corners of the box as if to deliberately ruin it. We spent time, money, and gas on this dinner. And what we got back was careless service, bad food, and a complete lack of basic customer respect. 49th State needs to take a hard look at how far they've fallen. I don't think you could ever pay me to ever come back to this place again. read more

'Ello Chaps, Wow. Ask a local or former tourist for food recommendations in Anchorage, there are two spots you'll consistently get -- one of them being 49th State Brewing, for good reason. A popular spot in the heart of downtown Anchorage, the menu boasts a large selection of local beers and grub -- burgers, salads, fish and chips, and more. It's a unique menu with their own twist. It's all just so well done. I could go on and on about how good the food and ambience is, but just trust the repeated recommendations of this place. It's well worth the visit. Overall I give 49th State Brewing 5 Stars out of 5. read more

A great brewery. The bar area is big and first come, first serve. Service was excellent; Luckas was great. The seafood chowder was very flavorful and creamy. The buffalo chili was delicious.
