As per usual, I told my server that I really wanted crispy HOT fries, or I would ask them to be redone. I do this so they know ahead of time that I am not being picky, just asking for what I am willing to pay for. I usually LOVE the rosemary garlic fries, but mine arrived soggy and barely warm. The server was quick to offer to correct this and returned with a plate of perfectly crisp hot fries! My grandson ordered a kids' salad and the kids' salmon and rice! This was the best buy of the day, as the salmon fillet appeared to be between two and three ounces of beautifully grilled salmon, with a generous portion of coconut rice. The salad was a garden salad with tomatoes, lettuce, and carrots, nicely dressed in ranch dressing. He also ordered the children's dessert of Mini Mousse, which is a good-sized chocolate mousse that he LOVED! Grandma had a couple of nibbles too! I enjoyed a Broken Tooth raspberry wheat, and it was fabulous as always. Bears Tooth Grill offers consistently delicious food, and when they make a mistake, they happily correct it! read more

I've come to Bear Tooth Grill twice for a movie night - they're actually a theater in addition to grill, so there's always a rare or popular screening going on! It really brings the community together and is nestled in the heart of the artistic Spenard neighborhood of Anchorage. Service is friendly, as quick as can possibly be, and efficient. Food isn't too bad either, they have a lot of different kinds of pizzas, wraps, and salads, but no option for wings or tenders when you're in the theater portion of the establishment. I recommend coming here and supporting a local business. Check their website for the latest and greatest movie adjacent events to keep yourself busy and engaged during the unpleasant wintery months. read more

Bear Tooth Grill - Diablo sticks - Mexican Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

A family-friendly spot in Anchorage that we stopped by for lunch. The food here is good. The menu is huge and has a mix of breakfast and lunch items. They also show movies which is a pretty cool concept! I enjoyed the pepperoni pizza (thin crust style, $4.25 a slice), the kale caesar, and chips and salsa a lot. The fries are also marvelous. I had the Salmon Benny ($24) - it was fine, and the hollandaise is a bit too tart for my taste. It was brought out after everything else which was sort of sad - I ended up getting full off of the sympathy bites everyone was giving me and barely touched it, lol. The table was not happy with the service but I thought it was fine. Just no-frills service. read more

After an epic week on the Cool Nerds Fishing Trip, we wrapped it all up with breakfast at Bear Tooth Grill--and it was everything we didn't know we needed. We went all in: huevos rancheros, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, and more. Every dish came out hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. The portions were generous, and the food hit that perfect sweet spot between comfort and quality. You could taste that this place puts real care into their menu. What really made it special was sitting there with three of my closest friends, reflecting on the week, telling stories, and just soaking in the moment. No better way to end a trip full of laughs, fishing, and unforgettable memories. read more

I ordered takeout. I was at the end of a two day conference so I just wanted good food in bed and this did not disappoint. Their menu is extensive so I had a hard time choosing but my choice was delicious. It was fairly quick and the staff were great. I had the blacked chicken tacos and at first I thought it looked flavorless but it was not! I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely go back to try something different. The place looks nice inside so next time I'm back in the area I may dine in. read more

Great service as always! Best Margaritas in town, Light, delicious, but pack a punch. USED to be the best fish tacos in town. WHAT happened? Changed from cod to fishy tasting Rockfish. No longer the mango salsa. Noooooooo. You had the BEST combo!! Do away with the garlic cilantro fries, and I'm coming after you. You had #1 in Anchorage... now? Not my favorite anymore. Come on BearTooth Grill.. help a girl out here! read more

Bear Tooth is one of my favorite options for dine in or take away food in midtown Anchorage. The waitstaff are always kind, the food is reliably good, and the margaritas are strong (and delicious). While I wish their menu changed slightly more often, I'll still always love coming here to eat. read more

One of my favorite breakfast spots. They're connected to the theatre but they have their own entrance. The grill consistently has rotating special menu options and drinks. This visit I tried their Zacatecas sope and we got their last order of lemon blueberry pancakes. Yummm! Beartooth grill has a new patio that we thought wasn't open, but our hostess wasn't aware that customers could order takeout and eat there even if there wasn't a server assigned. Darn, next time. It has a beautiful mural and a sweet firepit. It was annoying that I asked for bacon with my Bloody Mary and was told it wasn't readily available but when I ordered food I was pushed to order a side of protein at which point I blurted "bacon!" Like...duh, been asked! I would return. I will return. Highly recommend. read more

Their house margarita is pretty good. Strong and has a nice flavor to it. They actually have quite a selection of margaritas of different flavors and tequilas. Last time I came for lunch I got the fish and chips which I didn't care for. The batter was off, very off. Today I got the chipotle blt. It was good, had great buttery sourdough, almost too much lettuce, only two pieces of bacon per piece but it was good. The chipotle mayo wasn't spicy at all and had a little more flavor then just regular mayo. Cilantro fries were really good, very crispy. Had a bite of the bahn mi burger and that was a complete miss. Was pretty spicy for me, but I might have just ate a whole Jalapeño in my one bite cause that's my luck on spicy since I do not like spicy. I've come to realize what entrees I pick are really hit or miss, but I would get the tacos or the BLT again. read more

Service. Bar tenders basically ignore their cx. Unless you're a regular. Then I see alot of FOC. All others ither than ordering. Ignore. Zero interaction. Several of us sitting at the bar. Food is ok. Ambiance is ok. Aerosmith comes on and these puppy bartenders start badmouthing in front of everyone. read more

Really enjoyed our time at Bear-tooth! The food was very tasty. The atmosphere was very comfortable and service great. I ordered the turkey bacon on focaccia bread with cilantro fries and this Sandwich is something I would order again. The only down fall on this was the fries weren't that hot. My friend ordered the Jamaican jerk chicken and he really liked it. The drinks are very tasty and would highly recommend trying this restaurant. read more

The Bear Tooth Grill staff horribly missed the mark on customer service today and to make matters worse, we're unapologetic and "cold" when offered gentle feedback. It did not feel like a place that relayed, "We appreciate and want your business!" I came in with my family around 11:30 today and there wasn't a hostess at the stand. That's fine, so we were patient. We waited for five minutes and watched five (5) members of the staff all of: make eye contact with us, not greet us, or even acknowledge that we were waiting for service. A gentle, "hey, we'll be right with you" wasn't even offered. We finally gave up and started walking out the door, which is when two of the young ladies who passed by us (both young/brown hair) then positioned themselves behind the hostess stand and started socializing. It was like they waited for us to leave so they wouldn't have to seat us. As I was leaving, I provided both of these young employees with some gentle feedback on acknowledging your patrons when they are waiting, to which both didn't receive well. No yelling, no anger....just feedback. One finally told me to leave and have a nice day. No apology and no attempt to make this right. I wasn't angry, didn't raise my voice, and would have allowed the staff the chance to fix this. We recognize that businesses make mistakes and don't always hit the target, but this is an indication of a culture or employee attitude problem. At least today, Bear Tooth Grill did not value customer service or make any attempt to keep us there. Lastly, because we weren't valued, acknowledged or heard, we likely won't be back. It is what it is, but I hope they make an adjustment in this area. read more

Service - 5 our server (i believe his name was Rocky) was great, very fast service Food - 5 seafood chowder - loved it! It had big chunks of fish, taste fresh. Yup i'll go back for it! Fish & chips was all good, the cod was fresh, didnt taste "fishy", the fish breading was flaky, crunchy. Yes I will also go back to eat this again! Ambiance - 5 we went for early lunch so it wasnt crowded yet. It was clean, very friendly atmospherr YES I WILL GO BACK AND YES I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. read more

I consistently have trouble getting seated here. They always tell me there will be a wait, despite there being several empty tables. They sit people who arrived after me before I get sat. Seating hostess' are impolite. The wait always ends up being double to triple what the time I was told. The service, excluding the seating hostess', is usually really good! The waiters know the menu well and make solid recommendations. The food is always good. Just wish the women working the front would practice kindness. read more

Kicking myself for not coming here sooner. Some of the best eats and drinks in Anchorage. We tried the nachos, a tofu stir fry dish and spinach enchiladas. Hands down recommend for a casual comfort meal with a lively and local vibe. read more

We really liked this place and ate here twice on our vacation. The food comes in very large portions and it is very good. They have lots of choices healthy and not on the menu. I loved it because I was able to get veggies and fantastic salads. Each time we had no room for dessert because the meal portions were huge. The first time we went it was incrediblely hot inside and we tried to sit outside but they were packed. The service was pretty good. The second visit the service was horrible. Our server was nice and good but the kitchen was way behind. We sat for 1 hour waiting for our food. We finally flagged down our server and asked where our food was. He came back with complimentary chips and salsa (both home made and very good) and apologized and said our food should be out soon. It took another 20 minutes to get our food. Again, food was great! So, slooooowwww kitchen service, very busy place, great food at good prices. read more

I always receive great service and solid food at Bear Tooth. My most recent visit is what prompted me to leave a review. Our waiter, Dalton, suggested the California Dream bowl and it was phenomenal. The sweetness of the coconut rice mixed with the spiciness of the sriracha and tart pickled veggies was perfect. I will be dreaming about this dish. I love the vibe here and can't wait to go back and eat outside on the patio soon. read more

Came here with some friends for a late Sunday lunch. It wasn't too crowded, plenty of empty tables. The atmosphere is nice and it looks like a clean restaurant. We loved how expansive the menu is and the brunch menu is a nice plus! My husband ordered the bahn mi burger and I had the breakfast tacos. We both really enjoyed our respective dishes. Good portion size. Major downside was even though the restaurant wasn't too crowded, service was extremely slow. It took almost an hour for us to get our food... read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. And from the number of customers and the parking lot, it is clearly a favorite with the locals.

WELCOME TO FLAVORVILLE! We have been Renewed with Bear Tooth! It's Soooo Good. We lived in Spenard when we first came to Anchorage. But just renewed our Love for Bear Tooth. The food here is consistent. You order what you want and it comes the same way again and again and that is AWESOME! Judy's fav is the Blackened Salmon Bowl, her second is the Ginger Miso Cod Bowl, Leila's. the Korean Bowl and the Korean Bowl. Wellme? I'm experimenting with everything! I had the Bahn Mi Burger awesome Pork & Beef and veggie goodness burger, The Korean Bowl has heat, Great Heat! The Philly Steak Burrito tonight was packed with shredded beef with Philly Steak flavors in a crispy burrito. Then we also got the Sweet & Spicy wings app added because, hey I love a great wing. Wings were excellent! Sauce Excellent. Size of the wing, well, um, uhh, mmmm, the only complaint smaller size, but still so flavorful. Eaten take out 3 times this month. Why we come back!? Flavor Bombs of Tastebud Heaven ... Consistently! Yeah, GO! read more

We only got their nachos, aaaaaand I'd rather go to Taco Bell for theirs. They use cold foods to make their nachos. we got their chicken as it's limited options, but once you get it it's just plain cheese, some raw veggies and cold meat....im sure their other options are good but this one I feel is a bust. Actually I've learned they love to serve all their chicken cold. read more

The food was amazing! The environment was amazing! However, it was our server Charlie, who made the visit something spectacular! Charlie knew exactly how to manage a family which includes a toddler. He put in the orders on both sides of the house so that we could eat at the same time. He made the littlest one, and the oldest one, laugh. Yep, Charlie is an asset to any place, but to an excellent place like this, the overall experience is effin' awesome to the 10th degree. read more

Travis is the best server ever, hands down. What a sweetheart. We had a really nice dinner here. My husband got a bbq burger with awesome fries. I got a really good Korean steak bowl. I also had a great margarita and they made that thing strong. The atmosphere is family friendly and the staff are all awesome. We will definitely be back. read more

My go to for a quick meal on a late night!! The black bean nachos are the best in the world and the freaking margaritas are to die for!!

They have a different schedule every week: it's a great place to go!! read more

Why have I not written a review here?!? I've sat on their patio on warm fall evenings as the sun set, inside at a socially distanced booth, and even at the bar, pre-covid. And they've all been a great experience. Excellent beer, creative menu, solid service. I appreciate that they'll bring the mild salsa from the theater side to go with the chips and salsa. They have hooks by their booths to hang your jacket on. It's easy to miss, but don't go scrunching your jacket into your booth if you don't want to. ANNNDDD..the service. Friendly, but not fake. Nor are they overbearing. ANNNNDDD... the margaritas have a skinny substitute. AAANNNNNDD... so many unique food items. Even after five visits, there is still so much I want to try. And in the present, it's hard to choose. Hot and fresh chips, delightful bowls of tasty shrimp or Korean beef. I can't wait to try the AK Calamari. And burgers. With Gouda. Or bacon. Or bacon and Gouda. read more

While shopping in Anchorage, I asked the two ladies who ran one of the shops for recommendations for a good local restaurant. We wanted to eat delicious food that locals eat and not in a tourist trap. So glad that I did. The one lady led us to Beartooth which we all loved because it was delicious. My cousin loved his eggs Benedict. He said the eggs were cooked to perfection and it was ooey gooey goodness. I really liked my Arctic Apple Ale and my Korean Bowl. The steak was so tender and delicious. My mom also really loved her shrimp bowl. Unfortunately, my husband and cousin said the burgers were extremely underwhelming. If we ever come back to Anchorage, we would definitely come back here again. Really great recommendation. read more

Corona update (3/20/20): Like their sibling restaurant (and other toof) Moose's Tooth(MT), Bear Tooth Grill (BT) is positively DIALED when it comes to getting creative and re-organized around the virus. Orders are fast and efficient, as are the instructions for how to receive your order. Like MT, BT has converted unused booths into food "stations" where they grab your food from. Like MT, they are also SERIOUS about sanitation. No more than a few people inside at a time, and every single pen is individually sterilized. The only downside of this is that they aren't giving out plastic cutlery (not Canadian, just don't feel right about calling a plastic fork "silverware"), as they haven't figured out an efficient sanitation strategy yet. I got a breakfast burrito. It was just as hot, filling, and delicious as it always is. Give them a shot! read more
