You should disregard the credibility of anyone that rates this place over three stars. My "hot…read morepastrami sub" came on a grocery store roll and had been microwaved. They have a limited selection of chips. I won't comment on the service, as others have. It was fine. But any place that stacks cardboard boxes, old appliances and overstock in their dining area leaves a little to be desired. This place doesn't even try. Yeah, it's cheap. But it isn't great.

Located across the street from the mall, this was a nice spot for a quick lunch. I popped in for a…read moresandwich and wasn't disappointed with the food. There is a lot of variety here as far as food options. My only caveat is that it wasn't really an inviting atmosphere , like no acknowledgments or anything. However, it is a local mom and pop shop, support them.

They've got a solid variety of Alaska brews on tap, way more than your average spot, so it's easy to try something new or stick with a favorite. Food is decent across the board, nothing overly fancy, but it hits the spot and pairs well with the beer. Think reliable bar food done right. Just make sure you dodge all the homeless when walking around downtown.

We went to TCT on the high recommendation of, and joined by, our daughter and her husband. The…read moreestablishment is across from the Anchorage Museum and is part of the Anchorage Mall. 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."

Nothing but AMAZING…read more... From the outside, the place and neighborhood we were a little worried being from out of town. We were happily greeted and shown our booth. Once our server, Nicole, came we asked her a few questions about the menu which she answered and made her recommendations. Once our apps were brought out, she brought us a small strawberry orio shake to welcome us in for the first time. -The cheese curds, A+ soft, great batter. -Cup of chili with cheese. B+. The only critique of the evening is the hamburger was not seasoned. There was huge chunks of burger in the chili, which is great but if the meat would have had more seasoning it would have tasted better. -fried chicken is out of this world. Skin was slap your momma one time and once you bite into the meat, the chicken is so juicy it makes you want to slap your moms twice. I have never and I hope my mom and grandma don't read this but I have never had fried chicken this good. I thought I had good fried chicken frowning up in the South. -mushroom Swiss burger, burger is 1/4 lb and not the supposedly 1/4 lb like MCDs tries to pass off. This guy was huge. I asked for extra pickles and this is the the first place that instead of throwing 2-3 extra pickles on, they put a row of pickles on each side of the beef. Every time I come to anchorage from now on, this will be one one place I always come.

I ordered pick up but wouldn't have if I didn't…read morehave a $7 off coupon. $27.99 otherwise for a four piece meal is just outrageous - (portions ok) chicken is very bland.

I had a hazy IPA here during Fur Rondy and it tasted candy-sweet, oxidized, and had a chemically-bite to it. It is one of the worst beers I've ever had. It tasted old and stale when it should've tasted bright and fresh. I do not know how they can serve it to folks with a straight face, it's that bad.

It was just salt and pepper. Then our meals arrived and my plate was covered in chips. Like, completely covered! I asked for another plate that wasn't covered in chipped plastic ... and was handed another plastic plate that had lots of chips in it. I then specifically asked for a ceramic dish (like my husband had received). The employee walked away without a word, so I wasn't sure what was going to happen. A few minutes later she did return with a ceramic dish. The whole situation just left a bad taste in my mouth. I did enjoy all the memorabilia and open windows. While there I also noticed how uneven dishes were coming out. One customer ordered just a few minutes after our table did, yet he received his food when we were walking out!
