    portrait of my brother on the front patio

    Lookup: "local dive" in the dictionary, and this place will be pictured. It's where locals go to drink, dance, play pool, gripe about tourists. If you're not from Homer, you'll probably be the only person in here that's not. I have a high tolerance for cigarette smoke, and it is too smokey in here, even for me. There is a small patio though, which solves the problem.

    Amazing local spot!!! Sunday night and a win!!!

    Bartender is not friendly and it was not busy. Won't even look you in the eye. Came for music but left because of the bartender.

    When in Homer... Too much smoke for my liking, but otherwise a solid place to grab a beer and catch some live music.

    Excellent service, excellent bar, excellent server. I can't say anymore about it. If you look…read morearound the restaurant, you see a lot of diners wearing commercial fishing clothes, like I used to do as one of them for about six years. I know that's a great sign indicating the best that you possibly can if those folks come here for dinner. Service was impeccable, no wait and prompt delivery of our drinks than our meal my wife's pasta dish was also very excellent. We took leftovers home and enjoyed them twice!. The scallops were the best meal I had in Alaska this time after 16 days of traveling. I'd be really surprised if you went wrong at this venue, and I recommend it with all my heart and will do so to my best friends!

I ordered a pasta with white sauce and rock fish on top. My dinner came, the pasta was super spicy to the point where I could barely eat it. I asked my friend if his food was ok. He said it tasted a little weird. Asked me to taste my fish. My piece of fish was about 2 oz. and looked like it was an end piece or had freezer burn and they cut it off before cooking and serving. I tasted the fish, over seasoned and tasted like the freezer. I stopped eating that! That dish was $30. Dessert, usually don't- this time I ordered a Milton chocolate lava cake w/ vanilla ice cream. It was served frozen ( really!). $12 I got up and went to find our waiter. Came back and gave me another one, I can say if they didn't have a microwave they would be lost. Spent over $125. Won't go back anytime soon. I know Homer, has very good cooks. Y'all need to do better.

This place was so packed tonight, because it's the height of the tourist season (we couldn't get parked for a good 10 minutes) and so the place was HEAVING and packed to the rafters. Even so, we were seated immediately, and the fancy water carafe brought to us. Obviously I think most of the people in here are tourists. Most don't look Alaskan, if you know what I mean. I order the sublime Parm Fry Stack, that I've been dreaming about for 7 months, and he got, oh who cares what he got, I don't remember. He should write his own reviews. Despite the jam-packed dining room, it was not overly noisy, and you could hear your conversation. I had an unfortunate experience at a cafe recently, where I encountered one of those people who love the sound of their own voice, instead of chowing down on some good food. Fortunately there were none of those type in here, and so I got to appreciate my Parm Fry Stack in peace. Our server seemed surprised that I only wanted the Parm Fry Stack, and not a proper entree, and we wouldn't be sharing them between us, along with our main meal. No! Potatoes can be a main too. Well. You know the last time I had them, I was impressed. It was a sizable portion. This time, it was an absolutely enormous portion. A DAUNTING portion. Even I was dubious that I could manage it. But they were as epically delicious as the first time with no difference in flavour at all, which I am supremely grateful for. I don't give out awards such as Number 1 fry in Alaska lightly, but this humongous beast has earned its place, and retained it with consistent quality. Absolutely beautiful!

    Trivia for out of towners: What's the mascot of the high school just a few minutes away? What…read moreiconic Alaskan building material makes up the front of their high school? Sooooo....It's okay. Chips and salsa are NOT complimentary. A basket of chips and two bowls of salsa wasn't terribly expensive at 4.50. But hot salsa wasn't available when we went. So they gave us two milds. The salsa tasted a little weird. I couldn't tell if an ingredient was missing or if there was some other funky aspect. Either way, I didn't eat many chips (which made the paying for it seem a little more frustrating). The queso appetizer was delicious. Great serving size and great flavor. Everyone at the table agreed and there wasn't any left at the end. Beer selection included a couple local craft beers and plenty of bottles. I was very happy with the Pacifico and lime I received. Service was friendly. So we're the couple on a date at the table next to us. They recommended food and drinks and told us all about places to visit in town. Apparently there are meaderys (meaderies?)open on town. Cool news! Overall, I was largely underwhelmed by the food and slightly chagrined by the chips and salsa cost.
