    Reminds me of a simpler time. Good burgers, not over crowded. Also has Chinese food. My burger, fries and drink were 17.99 today-2025

    Their burgers are legit for this dive. Super tasty. Service a little slow but i went during lunch rush. Sicilian Burger is my favorite. Coworker said he inhaled his Aloha burger a said, "It didn't stand a chance. It was so good!" Portions are very reasonable for the price. I just deducted the star because I stood there for a good few minutes without acknowledgement.

    Last time I came here was about 30 years ago. I had a craving for nostalgia, so decided to see if it is as good as I remember. When you first walk in , you might be deterred by the outdated design, kinda sketchy, and think you might get ripped off. But it was a good surprise! We ordered a bacon cheeseburger, and man was it good! Not what expected. Definitely brought me back. Another good ol' Alaskan restaurant to try.

    Pineapple shake is not getting enough love. People are super nice. The front desk lady gently made fun of my Texas / North Carolina accent. Like Sling Blade, I just ordered fries (besides pineapple shake), but they're real nice.

    Ordered the Teriyaki Burger and it's mouth melting delicious.

    It's one of those very hidden places but should check it out I ordered the Teriyaki Burger and it's become my go to favorite.

    Broccoli beef.

    I like the kung pao chicken, it has more vegetables then chicken. The broccoli beef is ok, not bad but not something I'd order again. I watch two doordashers walk out on a Saturday evening around 6:30pm, I guess the tip wasn't enough for them to wait? I waited 15+ minutes from the time given to me, but that was ok. I am writing this review so I can remember that I have tried Burger Jim. I forget a place, if I don't like more then one dish. Maybe... I'll come back for a burger.

    Wow! I have not set foot in Burger Jim's since the 1990's. Seeing this place is like going back in time.

    I came down here for lunch after picking up the car for repairs to the front from a driver who backed into my car a few months back. Burger Jim's is a longtime establishment on the corner of 4th and Gambell in a sketchier part of the downtown area on the east side. There would be no reason to dine in this part of town, but since the collision center was just around the corner, this was the most convenient option. Burger Jim's bring back a lot of memories from my high school years in the mid-90's when they still had a location at the Transit Center on 6th Ave and G St. Surprisingly, the dining area at this location still looks like it's in the 90's today with its wood booths and interior design. I was greeted by the manager who seemed to be the only person in the front for the lunch rush while everyone was working in the kitchen preparing orders. I decided to order a familiar favorite that was listed as Today's Special: the Burger Jim (ham, bacon, American cheese, grilled onions, mushrooms, and jalapeno peppers). The special includes fries and the drink for $9.99. I took a seat at one of the window booths next to where I parked my car. I only waited for a few minutes before my order arrived. The burger was good, but not as good as some of the other burger establishments I reviewed. The bacon, cheese, mushrooms, and onions were a great complement while the ham was an unnecessary addition with little to no flavor. Fries were thick-cut which is good when it's hot off the fryer, but loses its crispiness as it cools down leaving the thin strands as the only ones with a crispy texture. The Transit Center location used to be my favorite place for a burger after class, but with the location long gone and different owners today, there are better options elsewhere.

    Great burgers, good Chinese food. Had a bunch of homeless people around the area inside and outside. But overall food was delicious!

After perusing the few tables that had people eating burgers, decided to go with the wrap option, not wanting a loaf of bread surrounding my burger! Got the keto wrap, it had bacon and an egg, they must be pushing it or it's new, since it was cheaper than the wrap without all the extra protein. Either that or common sense took a vacation from the cold in Anchorage. Cashier was very helpful despite my clown like behavior. KETO Burger!!! Very pleasing to the eye, wrapped in a generous amount of crunchy iceberg,boom, could have used more sauce, but I'm a sauce kind of clown, plenty to get from the condiment bar. Nice crunchy bacon, boom, she said mustard was absent had to get my own. Over all not bad, certainly not the best in Anchorage like a previous reviewer, that was obviously may or may not be connected to the restaurant .... Hmm what am I some kind of a clown? A few tips to improve the burger, add on the tomato pickles and onions. Also burn a brand into the lettuce like the buns, would be way cool. And don't be afraid to sauce it up, some of us Keto types need a lot of taste to combat the boring taste of iceberg. Take heed, the clown has spoken,

Our family made regular trips here back in 60s after a day of work at Merrill Field. Recently we were greeted by the owner's daughter (same age as me) who runs the place now. It was a delightful reunion. I highly recommend this place for its Alaskan authenticity among other good reasons.

And yeah, the seafood does live up to the billing. But sometimes, you just want some fried chicken or a burger. And when that mood hits, Lucky Wishbone is the place to go. So it looks like a diner, it feels like a diner, but the eats are far, far better than any diner I've been to in awhile. Fried chicken? You betcha. 3 piece, all dark, side of mashed potatoes and gravy, and cup of their chowder (on a side note, I dare say that all chowder in Anchorage is outstanding!!!). Loved the fried chicken. Delicious. Beautifully fried. I probably could've put a couple dabs of hot sauce but that's only because I like a little heat. Mashed potatoes and gravy (Alaska potatoes are also outstanding!!!) hit the spot. Chowder was so good : super creamy and loaded with seafood and potatoes. Maybe I should've order a small bucket to take back home with me. Both the service and the place was warm and friendly. Sufficed to say, I had a most enjoyable lunch here.
