    The brisket was awesome. The biscuits were tender and flaky The service was fast and it's a family run restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the Christmas tree is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Special Steak fingers and eggs Hash Browns Potatoes and sourdough toast

    Ok so I love the food, ambiance, and presentation of Harleys plates! Food is always cooked well the sourdough is made in house and delicious, great value for portion size in my opinion and consistently delicious not a hit or miss spot. Also lots of hot sauce options available right at the table- staff are quick overall attentive to needs of all tables they are running, and i cant help but keep this place in a rotation. At least twice a month sometimes more. The only reason that i cant give 5 stars is pretty serious 7 out of the last 10 times myself and/or my family have gone we have been over charged for things we did not order and EVERY TIME it is with a very specific wait person. I will not call them out by name here but what i will say is it is a specific issue only happening with this particular person we are ordering with every time it happens - I ALWAYS check my receipt for actual charges before signing and ask for a receipt when i leave because it is a constant issue. We are talking about being charged 4 coffees when there is only 1 at the table- even being charged 30+ dollars for a mug? When confronted about the false charge to our tab it's always a " i hit the wrong button" or just an eye roll and quick fix response. If we didn't like the food so much we would never be back so i do hope that everyone is aware to ALWAYS check the tab for accuracy and if it gets addressed by everyone that is targeted hopefully this person will stop doing it.

    The food was amazing. Possibly the first time i ate everything on the plate. The service was decent they were nice and polite and asked if everything good, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place was decently quiet and clean asides from a TV and a few chatters from the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But overall this is a great experience.

    I haven't dined inside in a few years. I do recall Harley's having their beautiful coffee mugs for sale. I recently ordered brunch by way of Doordash and wow, wow, wow! Harleys definitely exceeded our expectations. Their brisket breakfast is a must! So much meat, tender and flavorful. Their biscuits and gravy were the best we've had to date. The biscuit tasted fresh out of the oven. The gravy was perfect in consistency and taste. Harleys hot wings were surprisingly delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our fresh chicken salads. Highly recommend Harleys.

    Heart of the Lion ( was the fried steak)

    We have Always passed by this place not sure why ? It is the Best Hole in the wall place in Anchorage! It sounds American but it is definitely Spanish influenced. We have been looking for a great breakfast place since Granny B went missing and this is the spot. Not only do they have the best Chicken Fried Steak but they have 4 different kinds of them. The service was on point and the coffee was bold and strong. Huevos Rancheros with chorizo was sooo savory it made my mouth water just by looking at it. This is our new go to for breakfast with the place making you feel right at home every time you come. Thank you Guys for making this a Que bueno desayuno café para mi esposo y yo!

    Steak Fingers
    Chris M.

    Walked in around 8 AM to a ghost town A couple of customers were already seated but no employees in site. Sat around in the waiting area reading the menu for a couple of minutes I got up and helped myself to a table and *POOF* employees showed up from nowhere. Now the food Steak fingers were 4/5 It started great but got saltier as I ate but the white gravy on the side helped it out edges were how I wanted them. Everything on the plate worked well together Service 4/5 Food 4/5 Overall 4/5 Will be back

    David C.

    Really solid "hole in the wall" diner in Midtown. First time visitor to Anchorage, and saw this place along the way. The coffee was solid and they kept bringing in often. The pancake special with bacon between the cakes was very large, and I really couldn't finish. For a diner, they do a nice job and it was comfortably busy. Def. would return if I'm in town again.

    Hansel M.

    Amazing food and service! Very chill ambience with a very homey field. This staff was extremely attentive, and the food was delicious. One of the top breakfast spots in all of Anchorage hands-down! Go here when in town, you will not regret it! Visiting from Miami it was very comforting to find little splashes of the Latino community all around Anchorage, this is one of those spots!

(most of it up here is more Texas-inspired) I was delighted to find another BBQ place on Yelp, more so a Southern on, even MORE so one with ZERO reviews! I called them up and ordered ahead of time. I got the ribs, which were under $20, a rarity for BBQ! This place occupies the space formerly occupied by Alleyway Grille (that delicious, late-night, stoner haute-cuisine extravaganza) You order and pickup food from the drive through. I called in ahead and they asked me if I wanted to pickup in "5 or 10 minutes?". I chose 5! Service was friendly and I took my food home to eat. The ribs were very good and served on a piece of white bread (BBQ bread ain't fancy, yo!). The sides were much better than some of the more recent BBQ pop-ups post-COVID. It was a perfect lunch-sized portion of everything. I'll definitely be giving them another try (brisket on Sundays only). Great food, I just wish they would add collard greens. So rare to find those up here!

    This is an interesting spot. The original location was a victim of an arson fire so, they ended up…read morein this spot. This restaurant has played host to Chris Rock, Cedric The Entertainer, Rosa Parks, Snoop Dogg, Danny Glover and Sinbad (the comedian, not the pirate). This is where all the cool people go while they are in Anchorage. The restaurant is co-located with Tropical Latin Food. It is right next to the small Speedway gas station. It is not the best of locations. It has a few parking spots available that it shares with the other businesses in the strip mall that it is in. The outside of the spot is kind of dingy, and the inside was not the cleanest either. They were cleaning up when I got there though. So, the dining room area was closed and all the tables and chairs were pushed to the side as the mopped the floor. They do not have any menu available or a menu board. If you want to know what they have, you have to pull up the menu on your cellular device by going to their website. There is no QR code either. The staff their was friendly and helpful. I ordered the chicken dinner with yams and collard greens. The chicken was made fresh, so it took about 30 minutes to get my order. They just took my number and called me when it was ready. I am glad that my food was made fresh, because the food that they had on the line was scary looking. It had definitely been there for awhile. I would recommend getting your drinks from the Speedway next door. They have a better selection and are a bit cheaper. My meal was delicious. The chicken was tasty, hot and fresh. The collards and yams, even though not the best that I have had, were tasty as well. The chicken though was up there with the best I have had. This is a decent place to get your Alaskan soul food. I wish that the location was a little better though. I was teetering between a 3 and 4 star ratting, but the food tipped it to a 4. Definitely worth visiting and getting some of your hard earned dollar.

    Here is a gem in a far off place from the basis of its inspiration. I'm on a strict diet and could…read morenot try many things and I don't like wasting money so I got a small dish that I could tolerate eating. The BBQ shrimp it was. Now anyone who knows about this dish understands it's not the same type of BBQ like we do ribs and chicken. This is a butter sauce that's seasoned to creole standards and served with French bread. Typically it's served in shell however these were peeled and served in the sauce. I'm not mad at this as I didn't have to get messy to peel the shrimp and dip the sauce etc. it was nice to eat it with a fork and already doused in the sauce. The bread was easy to dip and it wasn't salty. I'd love for my New Orleans born friends to make the trip in order to check this place out. I went early in the day shortly after opening so it wasn't salty not crowded at all and the host whisked me to a table with a good view for people watching. They were able to handle greeting, serving, and bartending between the 2 of them and not lose any grace or standards of service. I explained my dietary restrictions and the young lady was happy to navigate me through the menu. They have a full bar that I'm interested in delving into but I had to work later that day so water and soda were sufficient.

    I will say they are 5/5 for friendliness…read more But for Cajun food they are lacking. What they did good was their French fries and nuggets which their fries are battered. For a kids meal this is a really big portion. For Cajun food it lacked flavor and was kind of just weird. The red beans were bland, Lacked real seasoning, salt and had chunks of carrots. The gumbo was alright but not good or exceptional by any means. I did like that the okra was fresh enough to not be slimy. But it had no spicy appeal, and lacked the holy trinity. It also wasn't oily which was nice. The jambalaya was outright bad. It tasted sour and just really off. It was also like a soup instead of a rice dish. To top it off there were chunks of shredded cheese in it. Crab cakes were alright but the dressing for it was incredibly mustard seed heavy. My husband was a fan of the sauce, but I really wasn't. The buttered bread was good. I can't foresee myself coming back just because it lacked the bold flavor I expect from Cajun food and tasted pretty weird. If I ever gave it another shot I'd probably try a poboy.
