    Kava's Pancake Combo $16.50 (2 pancakes, 2 meats, n 2 eggs)
    Kelly C.

    3.5 Stars Overall 3.5 Stars: The restaurant itself is a family owned place where the locals come for a good breakfast with Hawaiian twist. The menu has a lot of food items which includes a few lot of Hawaiian food: IE Loco Moco, Spam, Ono pancakes, Chicken Katsu, etc. There are 30 or more booths and tables which can seat 1-12 or more people. The decorations are plain and simple with a few Alaskan and Hawaiian theme wall hangings. Love the vibe - casual and friendly. Service 3 Stars: Arrived around 10 on a weekday and just missed the breakfast rush; thank goodness. Plenty of seats available and I was seated immediately. Ordered the coffee and waited about 15 minutes for the food. Server was pleasant but forgot to bring cream when I ordered the coffee. It wasn't too busy during that time. Coffee arrived about 10 minutes after I was seated and ordered it. Now, this isn't a "ding" to her because I believe the coffee was freshly brewed and came in its own separate container. Hot and fresh. Within 15 minutes after I received my breakfast and started enjoying the meal, she arrived with the ticket and didn't ask if there was anything else I wanted. Food: 3.5 Stars Kavas Combo - 2 Pancakes, 2 Bacon or 2 Sausages and 2 Eggs (anyway you like it) $16.50 The food was good but wasn't exceptional. It is a hearty and satisfying breakfast. The bacon was medium cooked (little crispy and a little bit limp). It has an applewood taste which I like. The only negative would be the actual size of the pieces of bacon. The two sizes remind me of "papa bear and baby bear" one much bigger than the other. View pics for comparison. The eggs over easy were prepared wonderful however the egg was broken by the time it reach my plate because the pancakes were soaking it up. The pancakes were light, slightly sweet and fluffy but not as fluffy from another breakfast place I recently reviewed. 5 Stars for the Coffee. As stated above the coffee was freshly brewed and it reminds me of Kona coffee in Hawaii. A dark rich dark color and strong! So good! It brought back great memories sipping on the hot coffee and viewing the waves from the ocean on a cloudy and breezy day with my wife. Good times! NOTE: like most businesses, there is a 3.5% charge when using a CC. I prefer for them (all businesses) to raise the price of the food items and remove the additional charge. Just my opinion. Cash is King if you don't want to pay the additional CC charge. So, I recommend this place but I would try some of the Hawaiian menu items. With that said, I wouldn't come here specifically for the breakfast items. It was good but not great.

    I forgot to take a before picture but the service was quick even though they were busy. Clean facility. And most importantly the food was very tasty. The staff are friendly and quick on their feet as well. I'd personally recommend over waffles and whatnot

    The Saddle Bag Breakfast Sandwich meal with the pot of coffee all for less than $15.00. Senior or military discount of 10%.

    We come in often when we are in Muldoon. Today we stopped in for a late lunch after 2PM. They have some new items to offer in the way of Lunch Specials for $10.00 and daily lunch specials for the same price. There are five lunch specials that are available every day. I had one of the specials which was a hamburger and top of a large portion of Mashed potatoes smothered in brown gravy with onions. It was delicious and ample. My wife had a Senior lunch offering of a Club Sandwich with onion rings. Again the sandwich filled with turkey and lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. Well toasted on bread. She choice of onion rings or French fries. She said her sandwich was excellent and well made. The onion rings were deep fried to a crispy bite. No greasy or soft and real onions. I also had a choice of white rice or the mashed potatoes. We both had ice water. As always this restaurant met my expectations and the waitress was friendly and efficient. A good place for families with plenty of off-street parking.

    I literally dream of this pancake house. I ate it everyday I was in town for work haha. I even went and had breakfast for dinner one night. Everything I had was amazing. I really loved the farmers pancakes which are kind of like crepes. The spam and sausage was so good. Every time I come here for work this will be my go to place. The macaroni salad is to die for!

    California Omelette with Home Fries

    I've been wanting to visit Kava's for years and I wish I'd gone sooner! Restaurant was clean and cozy. Server was very warm and hospitable. Menu has standard American breakfast fare as well as some Hawaiian dishes like loco moco. I wanted to try their chicken katsu loco moco but unfortunately they were out of katsu the day I went. I ordered the California omelette (Swiss cheese, spinach, mushrooms, avocado, and bacon) with pancakes and home fries. They were also out of avocado so I just got the omelette without it. I would have preferred the cheese inside of the omelette instead of on top and spinach that was more fresh than cooked, but otherwise I was satisfied. Pancakes were huge and fluffy. Home fries were well seasoned and cooked. Prices are lower than what I'd expect given the generous portion sizes and the fact this is Alaska where restaurants tend to be pricier than the rest of the country. I definitely would like to come back.

    This place was busy for a weekend breakfast/brunch hour! They accommodated a large group (8) with no wait time. I ordered the Hawaiian Stuffed French toast. I'm disappointed that they ran out of the coconut maple syrup but I'm sure it would've elevated the entire dish. The serving was massive! I'm more of a savory breakfast kinda person one order would be perfect to share with somebody else who feels that way. They had forgotten my spam (I got bacon originally) but easily added it later without much wait. My friend had gotten the loco moco and found a piece of hair in it. Staff was very apologetic and offered a new order or to take it off the bill. I enjoyed my dish and would come back despite the mishap my friend encountered. The staff handled it very professionally.

    In Anchorage for a couple weeks working on base at Elmendorf and needed a good breakfast after a long run. Figured I'd give it a shot instead of hitting the traditional downtown Anchorage tourist spots, this place did not disappoint from the moment you walk in you can tell it's gonna be good the ladies at the front counter was very polite and greeted me with care, my waitress Tasha went above and beyond on my order to ensure my breakfast was how I wanted it. Everything was good completely satisfied will probably visit again before leaving!!!

    Super busy place, but I can see why. Food is delicious and a huge portion. We'll definitely be back!

The worn springs in the red vinyl bench seats of our booth felt like they may have come from the 1972 station wagon my family owned, when I was growing up. With that said: every booth was filled while we were there. The service was dispassionately, hospitable. We were told to find our own seats upon arrival for breakfast, despite a sign saying wait to be seated. Our server filled the basics of what was required, but there was no warmth or interest. The food took a pretty long time (30-40 mins) to be cooked. We were offered one coffee refill the whole time we were there. Our order came out in two batches, with our server stopping for about ten minutes to collect payment at the register for two sets of customers before bringing the second batch of plates for our order. The food was prepared exactly as ordered and over all was ok to pretty good. The pancakes were very tasty, and the hash-browns were perfectly golden and crisp on the outside while being juicy in the inside. My chicken fried steak was also perfectly breaded and cooked, spiced well but not too much. The sausage gravy was pretty good also, with good sausage flavor but not overly spiced. I added salt and pepper. The bacon was also cooked perfectly, slightly crispy but still a little soft. The eggs were prepared exactly as we ordered, but strangely had very little flavor. Not sure if it is an Alaska sourcing issue or what, but there was nearly no flavor at all to the eggs even after salting and peppering them. The coffee was both bland and weak. Overall I give Flo's a tentative recommendation. It probably used to be really good and could be again. But, the management and staff need to put a little heart and soul back into it, because this place could use some TLC.
