    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 When you first walk in , you might be deterred by the outdated design, kinda sketchy, and think you might get ripped off.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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Yak burger anyone??? 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!

I calculated our meal cost before paying and it was around $5 higher on the bill presented than what it was listed on the menu. I also was paying cash so it shouldn't have been any kind of extra card fee. I have reached out to the company, but no response yet. Depending on their response will depend on if I'm a returning customer

    Happy to come again! I am honestly just very impressed with everything each time…read more Came last night for dinner and had an amazing time. We haven't had a bad meal here yet. The prices for food are honestly pretty reasonable considering you're paying the downtown premium but you're getting high-quality food. I know it's not called mac & cheese but it's gone well it looks like it and tastes delicious The burgers are fantastic. Their duck fat fries are delicious. The server we had was fantastic and took care of us. He had some great recommendations and did an amazing job keeping up on us. Place was clean and well kept it was a little quiet last night but we were happy to have a place that's actually open on a Monday night seems to be a rare thing nowadays in Anchorage.

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."
