This place is one of our favorites in girdwood. Everything was exceptional. Steak cooked perfectly how I wanted. Cod with the skin still was over the top. Sweet cheeks was our favorite, halibut lettuce wrap. Super busy on NYE and the service was amazing for how busy it was. The exterior and interior are beautiful and definitely feels "homey" . read more

We had a mixed experience at Jack Sprat. Service timing was rough. It took over an hour from ordering to get our main dishes. About 1.5 hours from when we were seated. We did get the dip bread appetizer about 15 minutes after ordering which helped. Then we waited another full hour after finishing it before our food arrived. The food was inconsistent. The chow fun noodles were undercooked. More like al dente pasta which does not work for a Chinese dish. The burgers came with fries that were cold and hard. They did fix that quickly and brought fresh fries which were much better. The wagyu burger was the biggest disappointment. The meat tasted very gamey. That is not what you expect from wagyu which should be rich and buttery. I ended up trying to cover the taste with toppings just to eat it. Not enjoyable. Our child did enjoy her grass fed beef burger and had no complaints. The atmosphere is great. Live music adds a nice touch. We also liked the shop next door and the outdoor wood fire. We like this place and wanted it to be a great experience. The food and timing just missed the mark this time. Hoping they improve because the setting is really nice. read more

Cozy vibes and great food. Versatile restaurant for dinners with friends, family, gatherings, group of buyouts and romantic dinners. If staying at the local Alyeska resort, they shuttle drops you off right in front of the restaurant which is very convenient. Don't pass up the appetizer with the ricotta, marinara sauce, and bread. read more

Alaska spots get a +.5 star bias because the limited options here. This is a beautiful spot in Alyeska that serves up wonderful, fresh, high quality fare. Yams ($14) as an appetizer were wonderful, and had a nice cilantro dip. I had the Captains Catch (black cod, $48) and it was also delicious. The fish was super fresh and not at all fishy. I had a bite of the Pasta ($37) and it was also great. Prices are on par with higher end dining. The interior is gorgeous, rustic-cozy meets modern. The staff are super nice - Mitzy is the cutest! read more

Excellent customer service, first off (10/10). Unfortunately very mediocre, under seasoned food. I heard good things about this place- by people that live in Girdwood- told me it's their favorite restaurant. But I wasn't impressed. The Waygu burger was a 5.5/10 and the fries were 2/10. Both very under seasoned. I tried my friend's nachoes and dessert- both which I didn't like. Just not enough flavor for any of the meals. On the flip side my friend loved the nachos and tart ass dessert. read more

Promotional material for ski town fare usually irritates me. The food is almost always a disappointment, the concept usually isn't congruent. I avoid reading it these days. We were ready to write off the culinary scene of Girdwood, and, really, Alaska as a whole, until we climbed up the wait list at Jack Sprat and ate dinner there. Jack Sprat has a diverse, well-executed menu with good service and reasonable prices. This was the best filet I've had in years. This restaurant is in elite company, especially in ski-focused ski towns. Really enjoyed the meal, might return. read more

This review is specifically for the very beginning of the visit and what we were presented with. This is a very snooty and snobby place at least that's what it seems like from the individual at the front. She made very little eye contact- seated people before us and was not forthcoming with information. I had to pull information out of her by asking her if there's a seat available for us, what is the waiting time and honestly, we were greeted with a very standoffish feeling. The girl in front with the tattoos needs to be either trained or humbled. Completely offputting and we ended up going to Basecamp where everyone is friendly welcoming and the food is absolutely delicious. read more

Jack Sprat - Bibimbop - New American Near Me - Girdwood, Alaska

We had dinner here after spending the evening at the Nordic Spa and this really was the cherry on top of a great night. We came in about 30 mins before closing but never felt rushed. Our server was friendly and quick to take our order. I won't say no to anything with a fried egg on top, so I got the bibimbap. It came out so hot you could hear the rice crisping in the stone pot. It took a long while for it to cool -- my fiance had nearly finished his burger by the time I could take actual full bites! I heated up the leftovers the next morning and it was soooo good. We were seated by the kitchen and enjoyed watching all the desserts being made. Unfortunately we had no room to order any, but will definitely plan on it on our next visit here. read more

Ambience- comfortable, romantic lodge Service was prompt and good. The waitress was knowledgeable on food options. We got the yams. Really tasty and huge on the order size. We then got the momma Mia (Italian linguini and vegetarian sausage). Again huge serving size. We split the order and took half home. It was delicious. Cost. This is not a cheap restaurant. Recommended. Note all deserts have chocolate in them read more

The service was amazing from start to finish. The food was delicious! We had 3 appetizers which were a meal in themselves. The entrees were perfect, the chef himself came out to see how everything was and suggested a red wine to go with the meals. Finished the evening with a delicious desert and Irish coffee. Perfect evening, beautiful restaurant, comfortable and cozy. read more

Definitely one of the best restaurants in the area. My friend did order a steak that was supposed to be medium rare and it came out very rare and raw so naturally he sent it back. Not a huge deal I know that happens. I got the Bibimbap and it was alright. I've had really good ones at Korean restaurants before and what was strange and I almost didn't say anything because I didn't wanna be rude was that I didn't get the sauce that comes with it until I asked for it. I didn't know if it came with the sauce or not so I didn't ask until I was about halfway done with it. The sauce made it much better. I also had the butternut squash soup, and it was very good. I liked the restaurant set up in itself. It was clean and nice. read more

This place is always hopping and can be difficult to get a seat due to no reservations allowed. My husband and I have been a few times and the service is always good. The sweet potato appetizer is always a hit. However, the entrees have not always been consistent. Still good, but the first time we went there was significantly better than the second. My husband enjoys the burger. The bibimbap was pretty good. Not a fan of the peanut noodles though. It's a big portion but so heavy and oily without much flavor. read more

Jack Sprat - Salmon - New American Near Me - Girdwood, Alaska

Oh no, did they change management or something? This is usually a favorite place, but our last visit left me feeling disenchanted. The Cheesy Schmool appetizer was dangerously too hot when it was served to us. Server (Carter?) didn't warn us, and the marinara sauce burnt my mouth. The focaccia bread that came with the Schmool was burnt black in places and shouldn't have been served to a guest. The Peanut Pan dish I usually love was lacking in flavor. It was just ok, but I was missing a depth of flavor. My baby got the "Oodles of Noodles" off the kids menu but the pasta wasn't made fresh for her, it seemed hard like it'd been sitting around for a while. The butter sauce was icky. She didn't eat any of it. The most distressing thing was the King Dong cake they're practically famous for is now different! I swear the filling used to have a lightweight delicious mascarpone and now it just tastes like dense-ish sweetened cream cheese. This is a mom-gripe, but I really wish they'd install a baby changing table in the bathrooms. Even just one? It's kind of horrible putting your sweet baby on the dirty floor when a diaper needs changing. Haven't given up hope on JS yet. Maybe our next time here will be back on track? read more

Omgosh this place, so yummy and what a great location. I absolutely love their outdoor fire pit where you can sit and wait for your table. I like their little gift shop too. Inside the restaurant is gorgeous. It's hard to explain but it has an upscale rustic Alaska feeling to it. The hostess was darling and the server was very helpful. The food is delicious like lower 48 good! Sorry Alaska just being real here. Try the yam fries AMAZING, the avocado salsa, the wagyu beef burger and the vegan nachos! You're welcome! Oh and the blueberry soda in a can, FANTASTIC!! read more

"Burning mouth" The ambiance was great The service impeccable and personal. The yam orderve. Fantastic The beet salad oh so yummy Out glass of wine was perfect The best was the special miso, squash ? Soup with a coconut milk drizzle. Then the entree came and ruined our meal. Why ,oh why ,oh why ,oh why So some chefs on the eternal quest to be different.... Have to over spice fish We left with our mouths burning From the pepper? spice on the halibut cheeks. Sacrilege! Perfect meal ruined. I think it'll be a while till we come back. I expected better. read more

Very popular place, so when you put your name on the waitlist, expect to wait a little bit. There is ample seating outside with a lovely fire pit so while waiting for a table is actually very cozy and enjoyable The star of the show for me was the vegan nachos. I personally am not vegan, but this appetizer is so delicious. I think even the most devoted carnivore would enjoy it. Packed with flavor and just the right amount of spiciness, the nachos were my menu favorite by far I also ordered the peanut pan noodles, which I enjoyed and ended up having enough leftover for a second meal later. I would've enjoyed being offered the ability to make it more spicy though. The service was friendly and attentive, and we were sat at a table that was elevated facing the rest of the dining hall, which felt like a cool experience read more

We go to Jack Sprat about once a year. Just some things to consider to manage expectations: No reservations and limited hours, so there is often a longer wait than what is usual around the area. Very expensive for what you get, and a small but varied menu. Only beer and wine. The food is decent, and I can definitely appreciate that they try to source local ingredients, vegan options, and have a rotating special. I believe I've had everything on their current menu and it's all been fine. The ambiance is nice with low lighting and open windows. Pictured here was the Basta Pasta special with steak bites. read more

This was our favorite dinner place from our recent trip to Girdwood. Ian was our sever and he took great care of us for the evening making great drink and food recommendations and made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious we got the yams and the cheeks as an appetizer and went with the filet and pasta for dinner. If we come back to Girdwood, Jack Sprat would be the first place we head for dinner. read more

Meh. This place is okay. I really liked my peanut pan. Kinda heavy on the sauce, but good. My kids thought their dinners were fine, but no one was praising their food though. The focaccia was realllllly gummy. It should be way lighter and airier than this. Even my 13 yr old was like "Well, this focaccia is really mid." Yeah. She's not lying. It ended with King Dong cake. In my oldest kid's words "This king dong cake is giving off small D energy." There aren't a lot of choices in Girdwood. It was okay, but we'd probably drive to anchorage before we'd eat here again read more

Such an adorable restaurant. It feels like you're dining in a cozy well-decorated cabin. The Nacho Libre app was amazing! Best vegan nachos we've ever had. The walnut meat was so full of flavor and had a great consistency. The Peanut Pan was sweet, creamy, and savory. It was deliciously peanut buttery and contained plenty of veggies. The tofu had a very light crisp on the outside and silken center. The Curry Salmon dish was very delicate and warming. Our waitress was very attentive and provided great service. read more

Fantastic all around. Super cute place, there was a wood fire burning in the courtyard which was nice. We got there around 8pm and they close at 9. We waited about 5 mins to be seated. Everyone from hostess to waitress were extremely friendly and welcoming. Service was prompt and attentive. Three sisters app was almost gone when I took the pic. It's a cold white bean, squash and corn salad atop bean and cheese pupusas. It was creamy and tangy from a green salsa. It was fresh and hardy. The soup de jour was a wild mushroom and wild rice topped with Calabrian chili oil. It had veggies in it and was like a light stew. I loved the flavor and the chili oil left a little numbing of the lips which was a surprise. I had the Alaska Man burger. It was awesome, love the 2 Pattie's and bacon jam. They didn't ask about doneness when I ordered, but it came out a nice medium rare, bordering on medium. Fries were nice and crispy. My friend got the bibimbap with steak instead of pork. It was huge and comes in a HOT stone bowl. You mix it up and it kind of keeps cooking like fajitas. It was delicious. Really a cute gem in this little mountain town. I'll definitely be back if I visit Girdwood again read more

So. Ambience: 11. Service: 10. Flavors: 10. But maybe don't order seafood caught in the Gulf of Mexico there. My mistake I guess. But I enjoyed this place immensely. I did not enjoy the next 24 hours. read more

The family and I ate here while staying at Alyeska for a business trip. I was very impressed with everything. The service was top notch and the food was fantastic. Fresh locally sourced ingredients and great balance in all the dishes we had. Definitely the best food we ate while in Girdwood. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you find yourself in the area. read more

We came across this place during our stay at hotel Alyeska. It was raining and we decided to give it a try. It was one of our best decisions made during this trip. The host was super nice and welcoming. The staff made excellent food recommendations. They adjust the menu items based on seasonal food. The food aesthetics were meticulous. Almost forgot, the interiors were decorated by a professional designer. Everything was color coordinated and it made the place extra cozy. read more

It's off season at the local ski resort so it was quite nice not be in a crowded restaurant as popular as Jack Sprat. We never been so we didn't know what to expect. Super chill vibe!

Coming to Jack Sprat is always a treat. It is rare that I can find a table on short notice, but we happened to get there as a table opened up in the sunroom. Everything made is fresh and delicious. The food is always presented beautifully and the ambiance is casual yet elegant. It is a perfect date night location or quick dinner with the girls after the spa. Everyone should try Jack Sprat at least once while they are in Girdwood. read more

I came here with a small group and being that there's no advanced reservations we were put on a waiting list for approximately 30 minutes. It wasn't a bad wait, the weather was decent, and it was pleasant outside. Upon being seated we were placed in this booth where I sat at the furthest end scooting to get there since it wasn't easily accessible. The menu was nice and we ordered quickly. I ordered the BLT salad and thought it was great. There was generous amount of bacon, the crumbled cheese was very pleasant, and the tomatoes and grapes offered a nice contrast to the savory bacon. I was very put-off by our waiter. I picked up immediately upon entering there had been a problem with one of his tables as the leaving customers had a look cross between disappointment and anger while our waiter profusely apologized. He looked defeated and it stuck with him. He was very short with us and seemed exasperated by any question. I also get that I was at the furthest end and handing me anything directly in front of me wasn't possible, but coming up behind me expecting that I'd know he was there perturbed me. He was soft spoken, the restaurant was loud, and I never knew when he'd pop up. By the second time I wish I had a directional mirror to see when he was coming! All in all it was a fine experience. It isn't a place I necessarily will return to again. read more

Jack Sprat is a local staple in Girdwood that is always a fun, warm, and welcoming place to have a bite to eat. For those who haven't been before, the yam fries are a must. They are unlike any other sweet potato or yam fries that I've had before and the aioli on the side is to die for. On Wednesday nights, they do a burger special, which is what I had and was absolutely delicious. For a drink I had the mulled wine, which was warm and cozy after a cold day. We had the King Dong cake for dessert, which even for someone who doesn't love love chocolate, was delicious. Looking forward to the next time I get to come back read more

Hands down the best restaurant in Alaska. OUTSTANDING and UNIQUE flavor, tasteable freshness and high quality of food used, lovely ambiance, and great staff. Highly recommend any and everything off this menu... but especially the yam appetizer and steak entree (: read more

The food is a solid 3.8 star. I am giving it a 4-star because of good service (wait time is accurate, fire pit is cool, interior is really nice and our waiter is really friendly and kind). The dessert came out a bit late, and our waiter came by explaining, apologizing, and offering us free coffee. You do not get this kind of services these days! I think our expectations were set high as we watched a few YouTube clips in advance. If I have to summarize, I think they can be bolder with flavor. Together, we tried: cheese appetizer (good since hubby was craving carbs), kale Cesar with scallop (great, worth trying), peanut pan (twisted pad Thai with too much creamy peanut butter needing a bit more crunchy), and chocolate olive oil cake (very good). read more
