    AYCE Tanner Crab
    Lesleigh P.

    The Bridge Seafood in Anchorage,AK. All you can eat Tanner crab, with herb roasted Alaskan potatoes, and grilled veggies. Also, the grilled Tiger Prawns and Reindeer Sausage with rice pilaf, and grilled veggies. PS: you can also watch them fish from the shore on Ship Creek while you eat.

    After always seeing Bridge when fishing Ship Creek, and loving the concept we finally dined here this past weekend while my mom was visiting. We were sadly disappointed. The food here is the epitome of meh. What you got for the price was disappointing, and we left feeling cheated. This is certainly what I would consider a tourist trap. The infamous starter bar that comes with your entree was nothing special. It was clean, and replenished often. The best dish at the bar was a smoked salmon pasta salad. But, everything else was just ok. It's nice that it's "all you can eat", but I'd rather just order appetizers then eat from a AYCE starter bar. The smoked salmon spread that they serve with rolls is very good, and something that is not typically served. Those two things were the most creative items on the menu. Everything on the menu is very plainly prepared, and that's ok. Sometimes you need to go back to the basics. The fish is all sourced from Alaska, and fresh. But the prices are steep for something I could literally purchase from Fred Meyer, and make myself. I was shocked that the prices rival those of some of the upper scale restaurants in town like the Crow's Nest. The starter bar is certainly included in the entree price. I'm not above paying a hefty price tag to eat something exceptional, but there was nothing exceptional about the meal I was served. They do serve a nice portion of colorful veggies and potatoes with your meat choice. Service was good, atmosphere inside was decent. The location is obviously unique, and I do love watching combat fishing. But, you can just go to Ship Creek to participate in fishing without paying the high price tag of Bridge. The best things about the restaurant were the smoked salmon pasta salad, and the smoked salmon spread. Not worth the $40 entree cost. You definitely dine here for the novelty of it all. If I dined here as a tourist I probably would have views this restaurant in a slightly different light. I'm glad I tried it, but this is the first restaurant in Anchorage that I can honestly say I will not be dining at again.

    This piece of fresh caught king salmon from Copper River is no doubt the best salmon I ever had. It doesn't even taste like fish The seafood chowder is sooo good, full of king crab leg meat. The crab cake is also made of king crab meat, delicious We also had reindeer sausage and prawn shrimp. The oyster however is disappointing. Fishy and one of them had a tiny bitterness to it. We are coming back to this place for sure

    I didn't expect much from this restaurant, because I though it bring on the bridge was a gimmick and food would be meh. I was wrong! All the seafood is locally sourced, fresh, and delicious! I ordered the Alaskan king crab (half lb), and the meat on the crab legs were so sweet. The serving was ample. We requested view of the river, and we were seated at a great spot overlooking the water. None of the fishermen and women caught anything while we were there, but it was fun to watch them trying to catch king or coho salmon. We shared a rhubarb crisp with ice cream for dessert. That I was so good! The crisp is served piping hot. Service was pretty awesome! Our server was really attentive and friendly. I recommend here for date nights! The summer night lands for entire night of river viewing.

    Awesome find. Thanks to the hotel. THE BEST CRAB LEGS & SALMON EVER! The Dinner includes a salad bar. They served you bread with a salmon spread which was delicious. Great View of the river which Salmon are usually seen. Sangria was amazing! I would definitely recommend this place. Our waiter was excellent.

    This was the highlight of my stop in Anchorage, Alaska! When we arrived in Anchorage and checked into the hotel, this was the restaurant that was recommended. I was thrilled that this recommendation was made, as I had done my research before arriving and thought the same thing! Not only do they have great food and dessert, the environment surrounding the restaurant was what made this place to eat even more special. Depending on the time that you are there, you can see several salmon Fisherman fishing in the river that runs underneath the restaurant. I stayed outside for a long time before we ate, as they were so entertaining to watch! Sidenote, if you are looking to see even more salmon, walk down to the right of the restaurant, and at the far end of the river, there is a gathering space of all the salmon who actually made it upstream! It is incredible to see. We were able to walk right in on a Saturday night, but we did have to wait a few minutes for our seat. It was not packed but definitely enough people that I would recommend calling ahead for a table. We asked to sit near the window, as we wanted to continue to watch the fisherman. That was easy for them to do! It will be expensive, so just know going into this restaurant, you will spend a lot of money-- so just enjoy it! The fish is fresh! Just remember, you were in Alaska where most find dining fish restaurants are more expensive than what you may see in the inland US. However, we found that most fish places range from $35-$50-they were all about the same regardless of where you were. Great experience, and I would highly recommend!

    Probably had to high of expectations. It was really good, dont get me wrong, but where we live we get great seafood as well. The salad bar had some good choices, pineapple coleslaw, spicy potato salad was delicious, a cucumber salad, and a smoked Salmon pasta salad. (Didnt care for the beet salad or the feta ranch.) The seafood chowder was really good, the bottom of the soup was delicious as it seemed like the spices settled. The sourdough rolls and Salmon spread were great. The Alaskan mac n cheese was mediocre. To much reindeer sausage and bread crumbs and not enough cheese. The crab legs were really good. Didn't taste that much fresher than what we eat in Oregon. The fun part was watching people fish for Salmon. If you're in town when it's open over the 3 months it's worth coming to for sure.

    King crab and Halibut

    We asked the hotel desk at the Hilton for the best fresh fish in Downtown Anchorage, they sent us on a short walk to The Bridge. What a great recommendation! Their salad bar is not a typical salad bar, it was fresh and delicious with tabouli, a salmon pasta salad, pineapple coleslaw, etc... My 1/2 lb king crab legs were wonderful and the side of assorted potatoes and grilled veggies along with the salad bar made for a perfect meal. My husband loved his Halibut as well. They serve bread with a salmon spread that was unusual and tasty. This may seem odd but the tap water was the best water I have ever tasted! We are at the small but friendly bar, our bartender Kristen was on the ball and took great care of us. The restaurant is on a bridge going over a stream, we enjoyed watching the fishermen catch big fish while we dined.

    This restaurant is a tourist attraction located over a river, where diners can watch fishermen in the river while eating. Only paid parking is available in the parking lot so be sure to pay before heading in. Be sure to make a reservation because they were fully booked when we ate in on a Tuesday night. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Service is awesome! The menu offers a wide selection of fresh, locally sourced seafood and drinks. We had the salmon of the day, king crab legs, salmon mac and cheese, and ribeye steak. Overall, the portions were great but everything tasted too salty.

    Stopped in here for our first dinner in Anchorage and loved it! Really good value with the free bread and salmon spread and salad bar that comes with every meal. Can see fisherman outside the window and is literally a bridge over the creek/river. Service was great and gave my dad a free birthday dessert of choice (bread pudding) for his birthday. Was really special and we had a great time!

    Really enjoyed this restaurant, watching people fish for salmon on the river while we ate. The food was delicious and service was professional. The only issue was the noise level which was difficult for my husband due to his hearing issues.

    Sockeye salmon steak. Completely raw on the inside.
    Rick H.

    Overall an underwhelming experience. I asked and waited for a table by the window. The service was prompt and friendly. The salad bar had a good assortment. The potato salad, beet salad and smoked salmon bow tie salad were very good. The green salad was nothing special, just your garden variery spring mix. The minted watermelon wasn't fresh, and old enough that I couldn't eat it. The sourdough roll was fine, and the smoked salmon spread was very tasty. I ordered the sockeye salmon steak with rice pilaf and grilled vegetables. The rice and veggies were good, but the salmon steak was completely raw inside. Not undercooked, but completely raw. I had to send it back. When it returned, I was surprised that it was the same salmon steak. They simply took it off the plate, tossed it back on the grill, and threw away the cooked pieces I had flaked off to eat. No "fine dining" restaurant with a "chef" would ever do this. If a dish is returned, one prepares an entirely new dish. What remained of my salmon steak was returned thoroughly cooked with apologies from the server. No offer of recompense of any sort was made. Again, this would never happen in any "fine dining" establishment. At the very least, a complimentary dessert would be offered. While I enjoyed most of this meal, the view and the service, the overall experience was less than adequate. I doubt that I'll return. This restaurant is touted as "dine dining", "fancy" and "upscale". It is none of those things. Come for the view, but don't expect an above average experience.

    Halibut with rice pilaf and vegetables. $38
    Nasha W.

    Excellent place to go on a little date or a nice dinner with family and friends. The food is deliciously prepared and are accompanied by their bread and homemade salmon butter. The dinners include endless trips to their small side salad bar where you can get crab legs, pineapple coleslaw ( my favorite) salmon pasta salad, green salad, beet salad (very tasty) potato salad, and their watermelon with mint. Their trips to the salad bar really helps too because the portions are not very big. This place is great for all ages but I probably would leave the kids at home. One neat thing is that while you wait to be seated (and I highly recommend you make and reservation since this place is seasonal) you can watch the people fishing along the creek below. You can even see them fishing from.the windows making for and very distracting dinner date but still pretty entertaining. So back to the food! Their halibut dinner is absolutely delectable with a side of roasted potatoes or rice pilaf and vegetables. It is a decent sized portion but not enough to share. I find the entrees to be just enoug for one person (again, thank goodness for that small salad bar or I'd still be hungry). The staff is very cordial and friendly and attentive as well. The con is the parking situation and the prices. I find that $38 is a bit steep for the portion size, but I guess the small salad bar kind of helps. This little restaurant is a must in the summer season. Have fun watching the people fish and enjoy the wonderful flavors that this place has to offer....and make a reservation before you do all of those things :-)

I was in beautiful Anchorage and…read morewanted to grab some lunch. 49th state brewing was perfect because it wasn't far from my hotel and because it was so cold outside, I didn't want my walk to exceed 15 minutes. I was really hungry so I got there right when they opened at 11 a.m. I was able to be seated immediately and opted to sit upstairs where the tables were lower as compared to downstairs where the tables were high tops. Off the bat the food is phenomenal. For starters I got their popular handmade Bavarian pretzel. It was perfectly seasoned with butter and salt and the pretzel itself was soft and fluffy. It came with a side of cheese which was just as tasty. I was a little nervous it would taste like the melted cheese you eat at an amusement park- but this cheese had fantastic quality. One really neat thing about this brewery is they make their own fountain drinks! I tried the raspberry one and as you can see they aren't shy about the portions! The drink was really good. It had a great flavor to it, and a nice balance. The raspberry wasn't overpowering which I'm grateful for. For my entree I had the Yak burger that came with a side of tater tots. My waiter recommended I get it cooked at medium to keep it juicy. Typically I'm a medium well to well done type of girl, but I decided to trust his judgement and he was right! The burger was huge, messy, and delicious. The medium was definitely a good call. It was juicy but not so red where it would be off putting! Overall, I had a really incredible dining experience at 49th state brewing. And the prices were unbelievably reasonable. My meal came out to about $52 (not including my tip). I would love to come back when it's a bit warmer and sit outside- the views from the restaurant are phenomenal. Also, shout out to my waiter! I didn't get his name but he was so kind and the service was excellent!

Other staff walked right past us without so much as a "someone will be right with you," which set a pretty uncomfortable tone right off the bat. We eventually got seated, but even with the restaurant being pretty empty it still took a while before a server showed up to the table. Our server wasn't rude or anything, but the energy was just completely flat. It felt like he could not care less about being there. Sodas got refilled once the entire night. Between being seated and appetizers, and again between appetizers and our entrees, he was basically nowhere to be found. The thing that really got me was being asked if we wanted boxes while our plates were still full and we were just sitting there having a conversation, never once offering to top off our drinks until we finally asked. It's a shame because the food really was solid and the restaurant itself has a nice warm vibe to it. ORSO clearly has a lot going for it and on a different night with more attentive service it could easily be a 4 or 5 star experience. For now it's hard to rate it higher than a 3 when the service makes what should be a really nice dinner feel like an afterthought.

It features a blend of barstool window seats, barstool bar seats, high-top tables, and standard-height tables. We went for a very late lunch, which made the quick food delivery and yet under-attentive service a little perplexing. Having spent last summer in London, the attraction at TCT for us was comparing and contrasting Alaska Halibut Fish & Chips with the British fare. I wanted to like the Tent City offering; I really did not. For the price ($28/ea), we got three modest pieces of fish and the equivalent of two servings of chips. Both the fish and the chips were mushy (undercooked), with a heavy batter finish in contrast with the light and crisp British offering. The accompanying tarter sauce was an odd raspberry-and-blackberry concoction that my family and I called a pickle aftertaste. The presentation, for the price and the atmosphere, was a confusing combination of a metal basket lined with wax paper (like a 1950's drive-through), plastic water and soda glasses (like a college cafeteria), and real silverware. Other reviews have high praise for TCT so, on our next visit to Alaska, it will be good to give them another try. The bones of this establishment are in place for a really special experience, but, today, for me, it was just "ok."
