I got a rice bowl & the food was cold & mid! The dishes we got our food served on was dirty & all we got asked was how was the food?! We were never checked on once & wasn't asked if we wanted anything else, any more drinks! Just gave us our check & got sent on our way! Bad service & dirty dishes 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

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

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

This place is good, nothing spectacular. I think it was overly hyped up to me so I was expecting something amazing. It's a nice casual eater with a fairly creative menu. I prefer the food here to their sister restaurant, Moose's Tooth, and the wait times are a lot more manageable! I'm also interested in checking out their theater pub, which is a cool consent and very unique for Anchorage to have! Best Tooth has a great selection of Broken Tooth beers, and a nice craft cocktail list though most of their selection is tequila based. I really enjoy broken Tooth beers, and like that there is another location besides Moose's Tooth to indulge in them. Their food menu is strongly Tex mex influence, but is fairly creative. They have a monthly "fresh sheet" of rotating specials, which I appreciate. The fresh sheet usually features seasonal local ingredients. When we dined here the fresh sheet had a really delicious salmon cake appetizer, which was the highlight of our meal. We also had an order of onion rings, which were a huge portion and very crispy. For entrees my husband and I both ordered burgers. I had the bahn mi burger. It was way over cooked. I understand their is pork in the patty, but the meat was dry and very unenjoyable. If it wasn't for the toppings it would've fallen way flat. My husband orders the smoked Gouda burger, and his was cooked way better even though the patty also had pork in it. Both burgers were good, but nothing spectacular. I hate overcooked red meat, and really like restaurants that allow you to select your burger temp, but understand why some places don't. The garlic cilantro fries were very good, and cooked crispy. Service was good, and good came out in a timely manner! The place seems huge from the outside, but it really doesn't have many seating options when you consider that the building is shared with the theater pub. I will definitely be back, but maybe next time I'll stick to the fresh sheet or try something that's not a burger. I am also very interested in checking out their brunch, which looks delicious! read more

Food has been subpar and overpriced the last two times I've eaten in twice and also 1 to go order. Different times too so breakfast and dinner on different visits and food choices. Service is always great! It's just not that tasty for the price point. I'll stick to the theatre side or moose's for strictly pizza and beer. read more

Bear Tooth Grill - Small plate of nachos with a house skinny margarita. - Mexican Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Trying to do the "Tooth" triathlon, and our taco crawl, Bear Tooth Grill fit right into our plans. We arrived just after lunch and were promptly seated in what was clearly created by the same interior decorator for the Tooth family. Wanting to have tacos, we focused on that part of the menu. Although I was tempted by the beer menu, I was surprised to see the limited choices. Maybe the bear scared the moose away???? With our luck, we got seated next to the server's friend, so if we ever needed something we just had to look to the left. Unfortunately, his friend left right after our meal was served and not even the busser could find him to get us help. Fortunately, the manager doubled as a great server and our concerns were addressed. I ordered Pork Tacos with the Serrano Verde. It is a make your own style with a large portion of pork, beans and rice with cold compliments on a side plate. Being foodie moody, I did not enjoy the serrano verde as it had no heat but was definitely sweet. I changed my choice to the other sauce, Cascabel Colorado, and it was adequate. I was unimpressed and left a half a plate behind. (6/10) Dana ordered the Calabacita taco (vegetarian) and was well pleased. She said the pumpkin seeds were the perfect compliment to the vegetable blend, adding texture and flavor both. Although she liked it better without the shell, she enjoyed her meal and didn't leave any on the plate she said it was a solid 9/10. What saved the day for me was the Salsa trio, fresh diced peppers, onions, corn, beans... you will just have to go and try it yourself. Liking to know about what we are eating, here is some of the confusion that got figured out by management: No one knew what made the serrano sweet.. answer Agave. Great idea but I would consider a key ingredient for advertising. My first bite was like adding sugar instead of salt to your steak. Are the sautéed veggies on the hot plate supposed to be cold (that's how they came on top of the hot rice and beans)? Grant you, they were good both ways. We were curious as the cold on my sugary pork taco was a surprise at first bite also. Answer: Yes they are supposed to be cold. Even the manager was confused. Simple way to let people know? Add them to the cold plate. As far as the final rating: We have a house divided. Dana and I had completely different experiences. Visited Tuesday, December 3, 2019 @ 1pm Taste: Dana 9 Chad 6: 7.5 (first .5 ever) Presentation: Dana 8 Chad 6 = 7 Quality vs Cost: Dana 8 Chad 6= 7 Service: Server 2, busser 10, manager 10, =7 Atmosphere and ambiance: Chad 7 Dana 7= 7 35.5/50 = 3.6 = 4 star ( Thank Dana for that half point, it would have been happy with a three but we have to go with our system) Will we go back? Maybe. Dana says yes, because... pumpkin seeds (edited by Dana). read more

Tried the zucchini noodle salad with some grilled salmon and it was amazing. Nice staff.

I ended up coming here after attempting to go to Moose's Tooth on a Saturday evening. Moose's Tooth was an hour and a half wait for a table and two hours for takeout, so the hostess suggested going to Bear Tooth since they typically have a shorter wait time. She was right. Our party of three waited 30-40 minutes for a table. Another plus for Bear Tooth: you can call ahead to get on the waitlist for a table and you'll receive a call when your table is ready. I don't believe Moose's Tooth does this. Menu has a lot of the same Moose's Tooth appetizers and pizzas, but also Tex-Mex dishes like tacos, burritos, and rice bowls. I haven't tried any of those dishes but I'd definitely like to some time. They also have a more extensive cocktail menu in addition to beer. For drinks I had the Tequila Tropicale, a house speciality cocktail with tequila, pineapple juice, lemon-line soda, and chili-lame salt. The flavors went together nicely and for $5 it's a great deal. We ordered the Diablo sticks (the main reason we came here and waited as long as we did). Delicious as always. If they ever bottle the chipotle ranch it comes with I would absolutely buy it. For pizza we got half Mac N Cheese and half Napoleon. Mac N Cheese has reindeer sausage which compliments the macaroni and cheeses nicely. The Napoleon was on the lighter side and all ingredients were fresh. Great service and experience all around. I would definitely like to return sometime. read more

Long standing Anchorage establishment with a good atmosphere. Service and food was great!

Gotta love a theater pub. The Grill has a much broader menu than the theater, but the point is; just go eat here to support one of the cooler establishments in Anchorage. On the grill side, all of their Margs are delicious and definitely try the Bahn Mi Burger. I also know some folks who swear by substituting the beef for cod. This is one of the best brunches in town too and you really can't go wrong. read more

4.5 stars and still my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. The staff is SO incredibly welcoming and friendly. BT is really going above and beyond to respect social distancing and keep things clean. I did try to go out on a limb yesterday by switching it up and ordering the chicken fajita bowl, since my go-to is the chipotle chicken tacos. They seemed to have similar ingredients and priced about the same. I was surprised when I cut into it, that a couple pieces of the chicken in the fajita bowl were raw in the center. The server corrected this right away and in the end I got my chipotle chicken tacos, which were delicious (and half priced, thank u to our waiter). My fiancé is also a huge fan of BT, but he is sad that they no longer make his favorite Carne Burrito. He's been trying other burritos like the Philly Cheesesteak one, and a pork verde one a while back too -- apparently none of them compare. Bears Tooth: pleeease bring back the carne burrito, the one the size of an infant child and filled with magic? Jokes aside, I love this place, and I think their house Margarita is one of the best out there. read more

I love the choices we had from Bear tooth! Always wonderful specials and the traditional choices. Lived the bread sticks with the Buffalo sauce to dip them in. We also had the gyros pizza. Yes, it sounds weird but it was amazing and many of us at hone were pleasantly surprised. The brew house favorite chorizo was amazing too. read more

In the interests of full disclosure, the General Manager reached out to me via email last night, and has expressed interest in making reparation for all orders that went wrong, and I'm really not interested in fixing my previous orders, it's too late for that. What i would like, is my for my review to have an impact on the way they conduct business. I have asked that someone be responsible for checking bags of food, AND that this staff member be fully up to date with the online menu - such as what goes with what, and substitutions, and added extras being included. This is a reputable restaurant, with a big following, and it's busy. I stand by my statement, that i won't return. Maybe after the pandemic, when everything is "normal" again. But not for curbside pickup, and i won't dine-in anywhere right now. read more

Great place to sit and have some food! I would say overall I liked the appetizers a lot better than the main meal. The wings were amazing nice sauce and very nicely cooked. The beer selection here is a bit small, but overall great beers! The firecracker shrimp bowl seemed like it was missing something. Also they thought my meal was a Togo order so I had to wait a bit longer to eat my meal. Overall I would go back for appetizers and beer. read more

Craving a burger and love Moose's Tooth and decided to try Bear Tooth. Had Rosemary Burger with the impossible patty. Family member had the Smoke Gouda burger. Mine was a nice burger and the bacon was cooked well not limp but not supper crispy. Family member said the mix of the pork and beef made for a nice flavor. We tried the garlic fries and the garlic was nice and not over powering. Eat the Ancho Chili Brownie! The 'heat' is at the end and is warming not hot. Family likes the cinnamon ice cream that comes with it. read more

Hard not to like this place. Brought to you by the same people as Moose's Tooth. Super busy even on a weeknight, filled with dates, groups, families, birthdays...seemingly everyone. Pub food with a Mexican influence, and the same broken tooth brewing beer list as Moose's Tooth. We tried a blackened salmon bowl, fried cod tacos, blackened cod tacos, and beef and cheese burritos. All were excellent, but the beef was everyone's favorite. read more

First time here. They do not take reservations but wait wasn't too long. Tables are really close to each other and feels crowded. Food is above average and worth giving a try. Some dishes were mediocre but I did LOVE the beer battered cod. Perfectly coated and fried. You can definitely tell the kitchen puts a lot of effort into creativity, taste, and presentation. Will come back to try other things on the menu! read more

Still a staple in my life. Great food that tastes fresh and rarely disappoints. I still don't get why it costs $5 to add chicken to a salad here but at Mtooth it's way less... like $2-3. Oh well it's something I can get past. Read my previous review for favorites! read more

Gosh guys, this place is the bees knees. They are always on point! It may be because I sit at the bar, I always find if I sit at the bar I get better service, but that's just me. We ordered seafood chowder & Pozole to start off with a awesome refreshing spicy Bloody Mary which had house made habanero infused vodka. I don't usually drink vodka, but when I do it's Bear Tooth habanero infused vodka. I only tried the seafood chowder since I'm lactose intolerant... but what i tried was super good, creamy and thick, stick to your bones. And the Pozole - I dream about their Pozole. It change a little since last I ate it, but in a good way - bigger chunks of pork a little shredded and soft but still a little crunchy hominy. YUM! I ordered the appetizer tostada - I didn't read that it had crema on it but I should of assumed - so I just scraped it off. But it was good! 8/10. And my fiancé got the jerk chicken with sweep potato, I'm not one for jerk ANYTHING, but man, did he enjoy it. The sweet potato mashed with jerk seasoning it it, it had a great flavor. Overall 8.5/ 10 and the service OUTSTANDING 11/10! Thanks for coming to my Ted talk! read more

Awakens my inner hippie. I have grown to trust the staff of Bear Tooth\Moose's Tooth to come up with culinary curiosities that treat the tongue and tummy. The place is always pretty clean, the staff is always pleasant the food is always pretty good. They are incredibly consistent. I particularly enjoy the calamari and sharing a full plate of nachos with a friend. Very cool, very creative hipster hangout that will top your growler to go. read more

I hadn't been to Bear Tooth in SO long, and I will definitely not let so much time pass between my next visit! It was a really nice day when we went so we ate outside. I love eating outside, it makes me feel like I'm in the lower 48 on vacation. They have a big menu and so much sounds so good! This time I got the Ginger Shoyu bowl but replaced the cod with tofu. My husband got the bahn mi burger. We loved everything! Mine was not heavy but it was very filling at the same time. The kind of meal where you're satisfied but don't feel gross after. Really dug the ginger shoyu sauce. My husband really liked his burger. I think I got a paloma cocktail with it. We will be back! read more

So disappointed! Middle afternoon - not busy. The hostess said the only table available right by the door. The last time I ate on that side I was frozen cold when someone walked in. Waiting for a table on the "warm side". Saw many customers leave - totally felt ignored. Lack of service/care. Boo. Drove to Moose's Tooth. Greeted with open arms and a warm table!!! read more

Ok that last two times I ate at Bear Tooth were an improvement over previous experiences. One meal was on the nice side and one meal was with coworkers on the ghetto side. Ghetto side selections are way more limited, so one has to order carefully. Margarita was good- just enough kick and a good size. And the roasted brussel sprout salad was delish. On the nice side, the pear bellini was soooooooooo yummy. And i got this insane fall orange and pumpkin soup. Dear lord it was heavenly.... too bad it was a seasonal special. I could eat that stuff every day. I live right around the corner, so if I had to deal with the bullshit parking situation at Bear Tooth, I definitely wouldn't bother. But since I can walk and I'm a lot more familiar with what they do well and what they do not do well, I am much more pleased with my overall experiences when I dine at Bear Tooth. read more
