Our daughter found this spot when we were making a drive from Anchorage to Denali and insisted we…read morestopped. She said it was the best cafe on the drive. My other half took a look at it and discounted it as a puppy stop not a cafe. We all lamented and insisted must stop on the drive back. We did and thank God because is THE BEST FOOD SPOT BETWEEN ANCHORAGE & DENALI. we pulled up not knowing what to expect and found a super cute trailer, well maintained & cleaned with lots of cute seating, games and music! There was also a doggy that was beautiful and wonderful to see, we missed any dog exhibitions or sled pulls but the food and drink made it so we did not feel like we were missing anything. We had smoothies, Mac n cheese, sandwiches and a lotus energy drink that I Loved and had never heard of and it gave me enough energy that I'm writing this review while driving back rather than dozing off. The service was kind, attentive and patient. We didn't know what to expect and were taking a while, add to that 3 little girls that had a million questions and you have a real test in hospitality. They passed it all. If you are driving between anchorage & Denali and don't stop, you are missing out. Do not let the idea of it being paired off with pups discourage you. Honestly very simple, but some of the best food we've had while visiting and I have been wearing my way through Alaska. Ohhhh and don't forget to ask about the secret menu or be afraid of trying g their pickle soup. It's all winners!!!!

This rating is only for the milkshakes. My wife and I ordered two milkshakes. The flavors were…read moregood, but they were much too thin (I.e. too much milk and not enough ice cream). We could sip them through a straw, which is not good if you like a thick milkshake. It also took them quite a while to get our milkshakes out. I would've given them two stars and my wife would've given them four stars because she doesn't mind liquidy milkshakes. So we arrived at an average of three stars. Cannot recommend for milkshakes.

We tried the Northern Lights which was 4 different fruit flavors that worked wonderful together. We also tried Kim's Off-road which was a mixture of butterfinger, chocolate chips, shaved walnuts, and peanut butter cups and it was a strange color but it was amazing. I would come back time and time again.

Spend $10 and take a tour of their facility and learn about birch sap and the syrup making process! You will get to do a tasting of various syrups including their special reserve. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The gift shop itself has all of their items with samples of their products for tasting. I enjoyed the birch brew, brittle, lingonberry jam and the rhubarb syrup! A must stop for any Alaskan and tourist.

Perfect stop after a day at Denali. The place is huge with indoor and outdoor seating. It was big…read moretime raining when we were there so the outdoor area was shutdown. They have about 20 beers on tap from IPAs, lagers, sours, ciders and everything in between. We all ordered flights to try as many as possible. There's a giant pizza oven and the pizzas were really good. They are personal pizzas and I honestly wish they were classic small, medium, large options. The merch section is huge and honestly for Alaska it will be the cheapest shirt you find. I love my new shirt for $25. The whole place is fun and clean and again the perfect place for a long day outside. And great for big groups too

I ate it as my meal and it was the perfect amount. The drinks were good too, could barely taste the alcohol, which I could use a little more. The best part, though, was the atmosphere. We sat outside with an incredible view, and once the sun came out, it made the whole experience even better. Sitting in the sunshine with that scenery was just beautiful. The vibes were perfect, and our server was super nice, chill, and made us feel really welcome. If you're looking for a great spot to grab a meal, enjoy the views, and relax, I 100% recommend Denali Brew Pub!
