    We always have an amazing time, and this time they showed out yet again. I usually get a steak but this time I got the pasta. So good! I'm always relaxed because they take care of you and you never have to ask twice for anything. I'm sad they had stopped the bread, oil and vinegar but hey things change. I do recommend if you have a few people see if you can reserve the private room. You can play your own music, can sing if you want too... I do we do. You can have a birthday dinner in there and it's very private and exciting at the same time. Makes me feel like I have my personal butler.

    Early lunch while working in Anchorage and Glacier Brewhouse hit the spot. I came in hard craving crab legs and had my eye on the Bering Sea King Crab, but $154 for a pound was a little too rich for lunchtime . I still splurged and ordered the 10 oz Red King Crab Legs for $77.50, not cheap, but YOLO. Zero regrets. The crab was super tender, sweet, and perfectly cooked. Honestly didn't even need the butter. I dipped one small bite out of habit and stopped right there, the flavor stands on its own. Yeah, it's pricey, but if you're in Alaska and want quality crab done right, this is the place. Would absolutely order it again.

    I know I have reviewed Glacier Brew House but I have to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT to the Bar staff this year!! Heather, Alix, Jackie, Natalie and Z! I hope I didn't forget anyone but the staff is so Amazing, very friendly and kind! During the 12 days of Barley Wine we were always treated like friends, they always had an amazing attitude during this holiday season. Noticed how kind they ALL were talking to people visiting Alaska for the first time & of course the atmosphere is phenomenal. Even the chefs would great us and say have a nice evening. Also Drew the Head Brewer would stop by and ask our thoughts about the Barley Wine. Merry Christmas to EVERYONE

    Seafood Fettuccine

    Glacier BrewHouse was recommended by my concierge for seafood and ambiance. I suggest making reservations ahead of time since this is a popular restaurant. Wait times during my visit without a reservation was an hour on a week night. I really liked my server because she gave honest recommendations as to trying to sell the most expensive entrees. I got the seafood fettuccine. The sauce was was rich and creamy. The dish was filling with the salmon, scallops, and cod. I was going to get the chowder, but my server suggested not to since my dish was similar to the chowder......additional dollars added to her tip. Glacier BrewHouse gets five stars and many return visits.

    This place was PACKED! But I think it's a local place for when all the cruise passengers come in to start their journeys in Alaska. The staff was very pleasant but the crowd was a lot. In terms of food, they have a big menu! The jalapeño cornbread was very good and he had the seafood fettuccini and I had the halibut special. Pretty good food - nothing crazy good. I would recommend if you're in Anchorage and looking for a quick bite! Nice atmosphere with bear cams! Try to get reservation as I overheard 1.5 hour wait when we were leaving last night.

    We had our work Christmas party here with about 10 of us. They placed us in a small room that was perfect for the size of our party. The waiter was fast and efficient with drink and food orders. Our group had a few appetizers - The Tower, the wings, pretzels with cheese. My favorite was the shrimp in the tower. The wings were a bit small and crunchy for my liking. For my entree I had the stuffed halibut and it was really good. Sometimes halibut can be dry and dense, this was perfect. It was actually larger than I could eat in one sitting, so I did have leftovers to take home. Needless to say I did not get to desert. We all had fun, exchanged gifts, ate drank and were MERRY.

    Recommended. Food was wonderful, cooked and seasoned perfectly. Our waiter, Travis, was super attentive and made perfect recommendations. The restaurant was very busy and it's an hour wait for a table at 5:30pm on a Wednesday night. I suggest reservations. Very comfortable seating, with an open kitchen concept. Great choice when only spending one night in town.

    Salmon BLT with upgraded King Salmon
    Travis S.

    Tried searching for the best restaurant in Anchorage while I was in town and saw this place. I was looking for fresh seafood and I found it. I went with the Salmon BLT and I upgraded the Salmon to the King Salmon. It was absolutely delicious. The only thing I didn't like was the bread choice for the sandwich. I took one bite and it crumbled into pieces. Next time I will try to swap out the bread, but everything was fantastic.

    We were here back to back. The food was great and the portions were very generous. The service was very attentive and respectful. I enjoyed the fire pit and the vibe of the whole restaurant.

    Had a bad experience last time I came but wanted some king crab with wifey and gave them another chance. The interior is absolutely beautiful with the high ceilings, exposed wood beams, and huge gas fireplace in the middle. Ordered the king crab for $150! Came with 1 1/4 pound of crab (3 crab legs), string beans, and Parmesan potato wedges. Crab was AMAZING but wow, very expensive! Server was nice but not very attentive. We had the bread pudding with ice cream for dessert and that is a MUST ORDER if you come. It's a great spot for a meal but they have room for improvement still.

    We ordered Fish & Chips, Shrimp & Grits and Rockfish---all flavorful and beautifully plated. French fries were crunchy. Calamari was yummy, especially the aioli. We don't drink alcohol, but house made Root Beer was great. Service was attentive and really friendly. This place is super busy, but food came out fast. Large indoor structure, but felt like a festive brew hull.

    Read fellow Yelp recommendations and quickly made reservations. My co workers were so excited to try Glacier Brewery (next door to Orso, where we had a group dinner the evening before). Boss was happy to see the price for their king crab was lower than several others, with an extra 1/4 lb offered to boot! He also had a generous serving of garlic parm potatoes and fresh green beans, which went home as leftovers! The gals had seafood fettuccine- which included salmon, halibut, shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, and spinach. Nice and rich, with al dente pasta. Yum! Dessert- we didn't go for the famous peanut butter option as the s'mores dish included ice cream;)! I had the mango sorbet which tasted like a fresh, sweet and tangy mango! The sodas are refillable, but you'll be too full to have more than one refill. The team left so happy we chose this venue among the many recommended options, and each said during the meal at some point, "Oh, I'm so happy!" LOL! By the way, this place is large and every table was filled. We now know why as well!

    My favorite restaurant in Anchorage!! Super spacious, everyone is friendly, and food and drinks are amazing!!! FOOD/DRINKS: Bavarian Hefeweizen (10/10): This was the best beer I've had in my entire life. I would come back just to drink this over and over. Appetizer Tower (8/10): All were very solid, but the Alaska Smoked Salmon Dip was a tier above the rest. We ordered another one right after! Brewhouse Dinner Burger (7/10): Nothing special, solid burger!

    What time does the dinner menu begin?

    Don't know ! Call them to find out or go on their website.

    I don't see the giant crab legs on the menu anymore. Is it seasonal? Is it offered as a special? Visiting Anchorage in May and want to come for this. Thanks!

    They haven't had this on the menu on some time. There are other like places with giant crab legs close by, 49th State being the closest and equally good.

    Where did the prime rib chili go it was so amazing? I know it's been many years since I've been there but I still cannot forget the taste of the prime rib chili so good

    In speaking to the wait staff I learned they reduced their menu due to COVID. Hope they bring some favorites back soon.

    I can't have dairy, eggs or wheat? Is there anything I can eat here?

    If you can eat seafood or meat and veggies, there's plenty on the menu to satisfy.

    Do they do take out?

    Yes we do you can call 907-274-2739

    Do you have Vegan options?

    Not so many. Very limited vegetarian options.

    Would like some suggestions on some cocktails available here please!? Is there a kid menu? Then your favorite thing off the menu too! Thanks

    Not sure about cocktails, it's a brewery so I do beer (the blonde usually) There is a kid menu w pasta and a few other choices that comes with a drink and cookie ice cream sandwich and the seafood chowder is delicious.

    Do you have to have a reservation in order to eat here?

    No but I would recommend it! They get packed, however, we waited only 20 minutes to get seated and we were there at or around 730ish on a Tuesday.

Alas, there wasn't time for a lengthy visit, so I sipped on a pint of their crisp, fresh Czech-style pilsner while gazing out at the beautiful mountains surrounding this amazing city. In cooler weather, they also have outdoor fire pits which looked like a ton of fun. Inside, there was plenty of seating amongst the brewery apparatus. And, while the beer line was long, the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. This stop is definitely one to add to your beer list when traveling in the area!

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!

A good beer for sure and is a good pairing with fish and chips or a burger. Flavor highlights with this beer are sweet, strong and fruity but all in a well balanced way. The beer goes down smooth and is light bodied. A good beer to start for me with this brewery. I'd loved to try more of their beer options.

Never in my 267 brewery reviews on Yelp has a brewery blocked me from their IG. (that I know of, lol) My only interactions with them on IG are to re-share their reels so my friends know what beers they have on tap or what food truck is out front. I guess if I had to guess it would be that my 3-star review about their being the only brewery in Anchorage that doesn't allow you to taste their beer first must've struck such a nerve that they researched to find what IG account is connected to my Yelp account, and then blocked me. Really disappointing, I always thought the owner/brewer seemed cool but I guess he has thin skin. Their Anchorage-style Pilsner is still one of the best beers in town, hopefully I'll get a pint tonight. Last night I had a west coast IPA and a Cold IPA. Both were good. The fact that you have 3 different IPAs on tap combined with a 3 drink limit by the state of Alaska...really speaks to why tastes are helpful. Still the worst name of any brewery.
