    We are visiting Alaska and couldn't leave without trying the Denali burger. They had plenty of…read moreparking and I did notice most people did carry out or drive through, but didn't think much about it. Due to the snow there was a bit of mud by the entrance but nothing major. The food came out pretty quick and we went upstairs. This location is INVADED by homeless... be aware that there will be homeless everywhere inside. I decided to eat and leave, but should've just eaten in the car. While we ate, a group of about 4 homeless came upstairs and decided to start doing drugs right there and then. Where's the manager you may wonder. The manager was doing an interview 1 table away from the group of homeless doing drugs. I am not from around here and didn't know that is normal here since nobody seemed to be surprised. My bf freaked out and told me to hurry up. As we walked down the stairs, there was a puddle of pee and drops of blood... I am pretty sure that was from the group of homeless because it was t there when we went up. Word of advice, do not dine in!

    The service was horrible today. If I could zero stars I would. We were in line for 20 minutes, and…read moreanother 10 minutes at the payout. So.ething wasn't working. I called and ask to speak with a manager about the the milk that burned me, the wait and the cold food. A boy said he was a manager, and was very disrespectful. His bad attitudeexcalted really quick. Are we not allowed to talk to a manger about our concerns? I asked for the manager again, he said to call back. I called a few more times, he didn't say anything and hung up. His behavior was very disrespectful. I hope the manager see this. He doesn't deserve to be qorking in customer service, especially if hes a manager and is very disrespectful.

    Lightning Fast Service and Delicious Breakfasts! We…read morestopped by for a midmorning breakfast and were delighted by both the service and the food. Within 20 minutes of walking in, we were seated, served coffee and water, placed our order, and received our meals. We enjoyed classic breakfast favorites--fried eggs, patty sausage, biscuits and gravy, reindeer sausage--and the lightest, fluffiest, most perfectly prepared Belgian waffle. The experience was so impressive that we returned the next day to see whether it had been a fluke; it was not. The staff was just as friendly and efficient, and while the breakfast sandwich we added was delicious, I couldn't resist ordering another heavenly waffle. I strolled by the kitchen, a couple of times, to try and look to see what magic they were performing in the background, but their secret sauce is the people who work there! So close to the airport, great staff, even better breakfasts and a must stop for breakfast on your way to or from the airport.

    I'll preface this by saying that I've heard plenty of good things about Heidi's food, portions and…read morecleanliness. So I really wanted this to become a regular spot for me. Unfortunately, after trying two weekends in a row, I'm giving up. I completely understand that weekend breakfast/brunch is going to be busy. Waiting isn't the issue. The check-in and seating process is just incredibly disorganized. Both visits I put my name on the waitlist. The first time, I specifically asked if I could take one of two open seats at the bar and was told I still needed to join the waitlist. I did, but guests who arrived after me were eventually seated at the bar ahead of me. The second weekend, essentially the same thing happened again. There also doesn't seem to be a clear way to tell who is actually waiting versus who has just arrived. Meanwhile, I watched larger tables that had been pushed together for bigger parties remain together after those parties left, then get reset and used for smaller groups rather than being separated again. That's a lot of usable seating sitting unnecessarily occupied when you have a lobby full of people waiting. When I asked the host during my first visit why someone behind me on the waitlist had been given the bar seat I'd originally asked about, I received an apology but no real explanation or resolution. On the positive side, after spending plenty of time waiting on both visits, I can certainly confirm what others have said about the restaurant being clean and the portions looking generous coming out of the kitchen looke I genuinely wanted to try Heidi's, and I still think it may be worth visiting during slower hours. But after two consecutive weekend experiences with the same seating issues, the problem feels less like "they were busy today" and more like a process that needs some attention. Unfortunately, that's enough for me to stop trying for now.

    We flew in to Anchorage for a few days and immediately drive to Moose's Tooth after a quick Yelp…read moresearch. We were not disappointed. The parking lot seemed full but they still had seating available immediately. It's big but still cozy because of the layout. We got the friendliest welcome from our server who helped with beer recommendations. We ordered the special slice of the day, Call of the Wild. This was required since I'm a huge Jack London fan. But wow, reindeer sausage, steak, bacon, mushrooms, more mushrooms, red pepper, garlic cream sauce, ... lots of stuff. It was fantastic! For dessert we got the Death by Peanut Butter which turned out to be a cream cheese peanut butter filled pie of sorts that honestly seemed like a light fudge consistency. Again, fantastic. We tried to eat it all but just couldn't so we took it back to our AirBnB for later. Overall it was a fabulous experience all the way around. We're already looking at their other pizzas since we may have to go back during this relatively short visit.

    Moose's Tooth Pub & Pizzeria definitely lived up to the hype!…read more My wife and I ordered the Carnivore pizza, and it was amazing. The pizza had great flavor, and was exactly what we were hoping for. We were also lucky enough to get a table without having to wait, although I've heard that during the busiest parts of the day, the wait can easily reach 45 minutes or more! Before leaving, we ordered the Hungarian mushroom soup and tomato soup to go. Both were great. My only complaint is that they don't offer a grilled cheese sandwich to go with the tomato soup, but I ended up ordering breadsticks instead, which worked well. Overall, Moose's Tooth is a great spot. The food is tasty, the atmosphere is fun and relaxed, and I can definitely see why it's such a popular Anchorage restaurant. If you're visiting the area, this is absolutely worth adding to your list!
