    Special Steak fingers and eggs Hash Browns Potatoes and sourdough toast
    Amanda H.

    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.

    We went for lunch and it was amazing. The food was delicious, the server was very knowledgeable and friendly and it was very clean. A spot to recommend.

    Can't believe I've never come here before! Delicious Comfort food! Good menu selection for breakfast as we were craving brunch! Perfect portions for the price. Service was prompt and friendly. Very clean, organized space, with cute dining tables and booths. Digging the dim lighting from the old "Thyme" looking light fixtures.

    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 the place was decently quiet and clean asides from a TV and a few chatters from the back. But overall this is a great experience.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Ok, soooo everyone that knows me knows I am brutally honest. So understand that this is a…read morecompletely fair and honest review. My sister, my niece, and I ordered from here for the first time and we got the pork ribs, cheeseburger, hotdogs, baked beans, macaroni salad, and potato salad. The only problem was the hotdog just way too small to be worth $9.50, even if it comes with a small bag of chips. But, the flavor was freaking amazing! It tasted exactly like a barbecued hotdog should. It was totally worth it for me this time because she's amazing and is very generous! But as a regular basis thing, I'd go for it if money was no issue for me lol. Times are hard and inflation is high, so I get the higher prices, but I gotta watch me walket too. That's it. Only complaint lol. Otherwise is was freaking great! The sides were really good and flavorful. The macaroni salad was the most flavorful Ive ever purchased, as they are usually pretty bland. But all other macaroni salad has been trash compared to theirs lol. The potato salad was really good and the beans were super yummy! The hamburger was pretty good, lots of cheese, but we had to do some surprise errands and the box bounced around. We didn't get to eat until an hour later, so it soaked up all the juice from the pickle and was soggy with the juices of everything else by the time we got to it. Our fault, and it was still pretty good lol. But the ribs... My gracious. They were AMAZING! One of the reviews said they were dry and with lots of fat but I find that impossible. True, they weren't smothered in BBQ sauce in every crevice but even the non-covered parts were outrageously flavorful and perfectly moist. Maybe that person just doesn't normally eat pork ribs? There is bound to be some fat but on all of the many ribs we got, there was plenty of meat and the fat was minimal, and I was thankful lol. I hate a lot of fat, and it just wasn't anying more than normal pork ribs would have. But they definitely tasted better than normal lol. Just phenomenal! I'd spend my last $20 on that lol. But I, personally, would ask for extra BBQ sauce. Not because they are stingy with it or anything, I just.... I don't eat my food with some sauce, I eat my sauce with some food. I hate dry food lol. Which is why I can confidently say their ribs are not dry by any means! My sister and niece thought they were perfect, and my sister didn't want any ribs when I ordered lol. And most importantly, they are so super nice, and very generous! Very personable and great with communication. If the customer service isn't good, then it doesn't matter how good the food is and they certainly deliver in that, as well. Just an all in all fantastic experience. 5/5 stars. Would definitely recommend! *Update* I just had the left overs for dinner and it was still delicious the next day!

Pros: -Great food, although occasionally the portions can be a bit small for the large price of a meal (roughly 25-35 for a plate and drink) -Welcoming service, the older lady who tends to be behind the counter is very polite and asked throughout the meal if it was too our liking, which was appreciated. Cons: -Location, this can be a big deal for those with young children or single individuals. There were countless homeless people and it is situated right next to a gas station on a main road. Although I blame the City of Anchorage for this problem. Do not let this turn you away from a visit, just be smart! -Service time, this definitely shouldn't be treated like a fast food outing, it took about 15-20 minutes from order to get served and we had to go to the counter in order to get the dessert we had ordered. Not the worst thing in the world and they do humorously have a sign on the front saying that it will be a bit of a wait for food because it's all made in house. Wasn't a big problem for me but for those looking for a quick meal might not be ideal!

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.

In addition, the margarita was all ice, and tasted like your typical Jose Cuervo margarita. The calamari was good and fairly thick, enjoyed by everyone. The seafood pasta had a good flavor and loaded with seafood, truly the one meal I enjoyed. The fish and chips had 3 large portions of halibut, with a heavy fried batter, and average fries. It didn't taste better than your average fish and chips, and I'm glad I didn't personally order this dish. The kids chicken and rice had a surprisingly large amount of chicken with bland rice. The scallop risotto, just simply wasn't very good, it wasn't bland, but the flavor was lacking, and of the 3 that tried it, no one ate much. The kids dessert was called house made sorbet, and my kiddos were so excited to eat it. They tried one bite and almost cried, he said it tasted like broccoli, and I laughed and tried it myself...no kidding, this tasted like broccoli!! It was absolutely awful, like one of those gag jelly beans. I was expecting a high bill, but the hidden charges at the end really added to our disappointment. I regret coming here
