All the food we ate was delicious. Once we got a table, the service was excellent. The one complaint I would make would be that the process to get a table is not obvious. There's a sign saying to wait to be seated, but it wasn't clear that there was a list to put your name on. There was quite a back up of people waiting in front of the front desk and multiple people who came in after us got seated before we realized there was a list. Some extra signage to make it clear to get your name on the list would be nice. read more

Visiting Anchorage and looking for a new favorite spot to eat since our regular spot recently closed. The reviews looked good at Heidi's and we were not disappointed. Clean and spacious. Excellent, fast, friendly service, good breakfast food. Prices were comparable to other eateries but definitely good sized portions. Clean restrooms. We will definitely be back. read more

Breakfast at Heidi's always good but never great. I ate here while I was in town on business a year ago and I just realized I didn't take any photos of rhe food?!?!?! Hahahahaha! Anyway, second time is the charm I guess. So the Halibut sandwich was good, flavor was good, the fish was tender and flaky, my server made a mistake and substituted the "American" cheese for Swiss but I loved it! LOL! Seriously made the sandwich taste better. I didn't eat the bun because to be brutally honest as I always am, the bun was of cheap, stale and poor quality, it was barely toasted and not buttered? Fail! The bun on my cheese burger was the same way. The burger itself was cooked perfectly medium well but it was a premade obviously Sysco quality burger which was poorly seasoned which was made more evident by the stale, cheap, poor quality bun. They did have Coke Zero which made me feel a little better. Also at the end of my meal I ended up having to get up from my table and go pay for my food since my server hadn't returned in 15 minutes after clearing my dirty dishes. I don't feel like I will return to this place as there are much better options in the area. The ambiance always feels like I'm in an IHOP at 3am for some reason.. read more

Walked in and the restaurant was super clean and the staff very friendly. We have a short lunch and Heidi's is fast, hot and efficient! With today's charges at restaurant this place was very reasonable and good. We'll definitely be coming back for breakfast. They aren't open for dinner and that's fine since their food is on points read more

Worst service ever!! Food is great but if you want to be treated disrespectful and they're good too for you to buy their food and order customer service has declined at this restaurant. It's so sad. I was told by a girl who answered the phone said to call back when I know what I'm ready to order and I knew what I was ready to order but they were so busy she couldn't take my phone call for pick up on the phone. Good food but bad service. read more

We stopped here for an early breakfast before heading south. The food was incredible, the portions were generous, and the staff were so attentive and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Everything tasted homemade and fresh. If you're looking for a simple breakfast spot with friendly service and hearty comfort food, this place absolutely delivers. read more

One of my favorite hometown breakfast/brunch spots here in Anchorage! Cozy vibes, friendly staff, quick service, and the kind of comfort food that hits just right -- especially on a freezing fall morning. The coffee's always hot, the portions are generous, and everything tastes homemade. It's the kind of place where you can just relax, catch up with friends or family, and take your time. Local feel, good energy, great prices, and even better food -- can't ask for more! read more

I love this place. The food is great and the service is greater. We had breakfast. I finally got the sliced link reindeer sausage to find out what all the hype was about. It was very good. Still tasted a bit like pork but the reindeer came through and it was delightful. Not gamy. I found out later that all reindeer sausage has some pork in it. Who knew? Our waitress was Marie and she was a gem. read more

This establishment was rated 4.5 in Yelp at the time of our visit. Well deserved rating! Our server, Nicole was gracious and followed up to see if the food met our expectations. It did for me and two others in our party. One of our party said the waffle was "meh". They have a history as a picky eater though. Coffee was good! 2 cups for me :0) I had the breakfast sandwich. You can choose how the eggs are cooked and selected bacon. It had cheese melted which combined everything nicely and tasted good! I took a photo. It has a large dining area. Good for small groups. I cleaned up the photo to remove individuals for privacy sake. If you like diners, put this spot on your radar. I would recommend this establishment for breakfast/brunch! read more

We were looking forward to trying Heidi's, since Anchorage has some few diners, but we absolutely will never return for a number of reasons. The first is the value- 50 bucks for breakfast for 2 people - without the tip- is RIDICULOUS. Additionally thus place was packed and the parking lot and restaurant itself can't handle the volume of people. We waited about 15 minutes for a table, another 10 to place our order. Our coffee didn't come until after our meals came, which is unacceptable and the service was generally not very nice. The food was ok.. parts of it was good, other parts was awful. The corned beef was the best I've ever had in my life, the eggs and toast made me want to vomit. My husband said his steel cut oatmeal was perfect. It was all over the map. Here's my issue. The energy is ugly. Its microagressive ugly racist like Kriners is. If you're brown they treat you differently. We watched as our table and the table of other minorities got served after white people. Like WAY AFTER. And white people got extra little "oh would you like this that or the other" offerings while we didn't. They even have a few minorities in the kitchen and I can imagine their work experience is not very nice. And I will not patronize places like that. There are plenty of other places in Anchorage that treat people equally and are kind regarding of who you are. read more

I've been to Heidi's many times and usually like it. However, today's meal was a complete disappointment. I ordered the corned beef skillet with less potatoes and more vegetables. I got charged two extra dollars for "added vegetables," which were barely there. It was 99% potato. I asked for my eggs runny and got easy-over. There was barely any corned beef! The waitress added an UNREQUESTED bowl of gravy ("I thought you might enjoy that ") and charged me $3! WHAT? The portion was huge and the pancakes were good, but I don't appreciate being up-charged for something I didn't request, 99% potatoes, little meat , little veggies, and overcooked eggs. The waitress is lucky I still gave her 20% tip. read more

The menu is large and the plates larger! This is a favorite spot for me and to bring friends from our of town as they can try many good Alaskan dishes and staple ones, too. I like the pancakes, scrambles, country fried steak (the gravy is fricken awesome!) and biscuits and gravy. You will leave very full, just a warning! read more

Four stars not for the food I give that a 2.85 almost three. But friendly warm and welcoming. Beat the rush at 8:45am for a descent breakfast. I should have got the oatmeal and blueberries. That was a 3.5. Coffee was strong and brewed fresh. My meal the potatoes were cold and the sauce almost curdled. But edible I would return. read more

5/2/2026: I appreciated the help of the staff today. My dad enjoyed the food. He's resting now.

Very good service, very clean restaurant, very good pancakes. My only knock was that the bacon was so overcooked it could have been used as a weapon. This is coming from a guy that likes crispy bacon, I didn't specify crispy, just ordered it regularly and I think it was harder than the plate it was served on. read more

Finley chopped bell peppers and onions in almost every omelette. I have only sat at the bar and it's very good service.

Restaurant and atmosphere were nice. Same with the waiting staff. But our food was delivered within 5 minutes of us ordering. I understand it's a diner but 5 minutes is ridiculously fast. Both of our home fries were completely cold so we barely touched them. Then about 2 hours after breakfast both my husband and I were extremely sick throwing up everything. Would never go back. read more

The wife and I decided to give this place a try, and we were pleasantly surprised! It was packed, so it took a few minutes to be seated, but the service was great. The food came out fast and was excellent--I had the meat and cheese skillet, which was fantastic. Prices are about what you'd expect in today's economy. If you don't like the prices, you don't have to eat there. As for the negative review from Joy L., there's absolutely no racism here. Remember, folks--just because you don't like a place doesn't mean it's "racist." The seating is straightforward, just like anywhere else: you wait in line, and whoever's next gets seated. Simple as that. read more

Quite possibly the best omelette I've eaten at a diner in a very long time. Fluffy eggs encase fresh vegetables and gooey cheese. It was even good the next day! I got two gigantic pancakes. The skillet was also very tasty. You will not leave unsatisfied or hungry. Clean and spacious dinning area. Tables were cleaned promptly! Our server was friendly and quick. She never let our coffee or waters get too low. read more

Woke up and decided to try a new breakfast place on Sunday. We always go to a place in East Anchorage but like I said we wanted to try a new place. I came across this jewel. It wasn't crowded or as busy as I thought it would be, but it also was before church let out. We sat down and took our time looking over the menu, even though I kind of knew what I wanted since i looked it up on Yelp. I was waiting for the market to open at 11 so we had over an hour before they opened. We finally made our order and sat back and waited. It didn't take long for the mozzarella sticks to come out. They were hot and delicious, even though there was no cheese pull. We ate a few then the main attraction came out. My sister got the strip and eggs, hash browns crispy, and a pancake. That pancake was worth the drive over alone! The steak was cooked perfect except the food wasn't hot. I got the farmers skillet. It came with 2 eggs, hash browns, mushrooms, peppers, onions, ham, bacon and sausage topped with country gravy. I did ask for the gravy on the side since I wasn't sure I would like it. I tasted it and yeah I wasn't feeling it, so I added a little salt and pepper and still not liking it. So added a little hot sauce and it was still a no. The food was delicious but again my food wasn't hot, not even like warm. The only thing that was hot was the egg on top. The gravy wasn't even that warm either. We still ate the food but I did tell the waitress that the food didn't come out hot. I told her it's fine we are still eating the food because it's delicious. We will be back for sure because I need me a stack of those pancakes on my next trip. read more

Have been in Anchorage for over a decade and never had been! Recently we visited with my husband since we needed to grab a quick sit down breakfast. I wasn't sure what to expect but when we arrived the place was open, clean and bright. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. We ordered the Belgian waffle to share (which was delicious) and a side of eggs. Overall it was a great local diner with great service. read more

Great spot for brekkie and lunch! The portions are huge and generous. There's lots of seating available and the space is huge. The Reindeer Sausages were seasoned well and very filling with 3 eggs (sunny side up, over easy, etc), hash potatoes, and toast (choice of sourdough, wheat, white, rye, etc). The staff are very friendly and attentive. The fried halibut tasted delicious and the broccoli cheese side was a generous amount of soup, heavy on the cheese! The bathroom floors were a little slippery, so be careful. read more

I'll miss Tofu House but, Heidi's is proving to be a successful replacement. Business was booming the entire time we were there. My spouse loved their strong unlimited coffee. I loved the open clean atmosphere. Service was warm and welcoming. Our food came out fast. I opted for the ultimate breakfast + avocado while my spouse got the country skillet + included pancakes. Great portions, average prices. Flavor profile of the biscuits and gravy could be improved upon. Overall, great diner. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

This town really needed a new diner. One that wasn't the excessively political Kriner's nor the obsessively touristy Gwinny's. The food here is similar to both of those places. You get unlimited coffee that is A-OK, and you get entrees with classic diner descriptors like: "vegetarian", "country", and "farmer's". And just about everything you order comes with lots of either/or choices about your carbohydrate preferences. I got the NY steak and eggs. I chose potatoes and toast. For a choice of tater, I had the option of either hashbrowns or homefries. This is always a really tough one for me. What we call "homefries" in America contains a plethora of variation. Some of which...I'm not a fan of: I call those "french fry cubes". I can happily report the ones her are not that. They have potato skins comfortably intact. Ambiance is pretty plain and boring but, that's usually the deal with diners. read more

We are from out of town and are always looking for a solid place for breakfast. This is it!! They have classic American breakfast items, good coffee, and fast and friendly service. We will probably be back tomorrow!! read more
