Well, sweeties, we like beer and this place has the best tap menu in the valley. The food isn't fine dining. But it doesn't suck and if you like decent pub food then this place will work for you. Like I said, we come for the beer and the food is just to fill the belly. We've always had good service. The live music in the summer is an added bonus. My favorite food is the Thai salad wrap, sweet potato fries, chicken tenders, the burgers are usually good as is the pizza.

The waitress (Taren)took it off the bill, but came back from kitchen with snide remark, "All our house burgers come pink, next time you should say cook well." Like it was our fault. Italian sub from Subway has 10x the amount of meat than this $18 sub had. We prob won't come back for food, maybe a brew though. Yikes.

Ample parking, easy access, and the kind of brewery where you feel welcome whether you're a lifelong Alaskan or just passing through. Pro tip: Arrive with an appetite and an open mind. Get a sampler flight of the beers, ask the bartender what's new or seasonal, and don't hesitate to pair it with something from the kitchen--this one's worth the stop. All told: If craft beer is part of your travel plan (or if you simply want a great local spot for food & drink), Matanuska Brewing Company in Palmer should be high on your list. Cheers to that!

It's always fun scratching off a brewery out of Alaska. The beer most of time is quite solid and…read moreflavorful from most of the breweries that I have tried out. Mantanuska Brewery is the latest brewery I got to try for the first time and it was an enjoyable first time experience. Steve and I got one beer from this brewery on two separate occasions and I liked it both times. The Deep Powder Porter was the name of the beer we had. What I liked about this beer was that it was very smooth which made it an easy one to drink. There is a malty sweetness going on here with roasty, caramel and cocoa flavors. Untappd had the beet as a feature with this beer as "brilliant " and I can see that going on with this porter but I might call it "alive" as this porter wasn't a dull one at all to drink but instead it was a fun one.

Bleeding Heart Brewery absolutely nailed it…read more I stopped in for lunch and had the prosciutto mac & cheese, and wow--this is hands down one of the best mac & cheeses I've ever had. Rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and the prosciutto takes it to another level without overpowering the dish. I've also had their brunch, and the salmon with cream cheese and capers deserves a shoutout. The salmon is not dry (which is rare), and the bagel is toasted just right--not overly crunchy, just perfect. The outdoor seating is awesome, especially if you ride. This is easily one of the better spots to pull up on a motorcycle and enjoy a solid meal. Bonus points for the atmosphere. And the staff? Absolutely unreal--in the best way. Crazy friendly, welcoming, and they genuinely go out of their way to make you feel like part of their crew instead of just another customer. Great food, great vibes, great people. I'll be back--often.

I enjoyed the California club sandwich which had a good flavor with great tasting ingredients. The ham and cheese croissant was also pretty good. My kid enjoyed it and ate it all. Service was quick and decent but lacked attention. I was recommended the coffee of the day which I was told it was a must try. So I tried it and I'm not sure that it qualifies as a coffee or a drink. It tasted pretty horrid and I threw it away so that's why I'm removing a star. I would say this is more of a brunch place than a breakfast place. The menu was overwhelming to be honest and my suggestion would be to focus the menu a bit because visually it was all over the place. They seemed to have quiches and other things that change daily which some people might appreciate but I think it confuses the people working there and also the people who like whatever they had yesterday but now they can't have. But again that's just my humble opinion.

They're known for their gourmet cheesecakes (with rotating flavors), but they also have a full menu with salads, paninis, and other items that change up, which I love because it gives you a reason to keep coming back. I got the ABBA panini and it was so good, apples, bacon jam, brie, and arugula, and everything just worked together really well. Also a solid portion size, which I always appreciate. Of course I had to try a cheesecake too, and went with the caramel apple. I was actually surprised (in a good way) that it had thinly sliced apples baked right into it, which added such a good texture and made it feel a little more unique than your typical cheesecake. Service was great, super friendly and quick, and everything felt really well done. Definitely a spot I'd go back to, especially to try whatever cheesecake flavor they have next.
