Well ended up ordering the teds big breakfast and I was kind of not impressed. The bacon was definitely cooked perfectly and so were the eggs. But the biscuits and gravy was really dense. The biscuit weighed at least 2 pounds. Very dense and heavy for biscuits and gravy although the gravy was pretty good the biscuits ruined it for me for sure. The pancake was great until I got towards the end when it started to taste a little floury. Overall great service but wish the biscuits were light and fluffy. read more

A bit expensive as everything because of inflation and price gouging. Expect to pay $40-55 for two people without tipping. Pros: friendly service and good portion on food. Cons: price and quality of food is average. read more

Kriner's is a good American style diner with very fast service. It's one my new favorites in Anchorage for breakfast or brunch.

Amazing service and food. Helped immediately even though they said they were understaffed. Huge portions. Staff all friendly.

Visiting from out of town. Came in based on reviews and wasn't let down. Family owned small business making it happen. Menu has a great selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. I had the eggs, biscuits and gravy. I love biscuits and gravy and many places just don't rise to the occasion but here they do. The sausage gravy has great flavor and the biscuits where just perfect. We also shared a cinnamon role between the 6 of us. It was huge and great too. Soft gooey and covered in frosting. read more

Claiming that they needed to have in-store dining due to financial difficulties during the first and second waves of COVID. I hope you all feel shame, regret and humility. How many Alaskans have died due to your right to make money? Go learn some personal responsibility and have some basic human decency. Stay at home safe and if you can't? mask up, nose and mouth completely covered. It could have saved so many lives if you had been a responsible human, shuttered your dining room and let your employees stay safe at home while you ran minimal staff in the kitchen for to-go orders. Instead you valued money over human lives. You're awful. read more

Just amazing employees and owners! Portions are huge so come hungry! We get two meals out of it.

Come hungry! The servings here are massive and the food is great diner food. I'll be adding this to my regular rotation of place to eat in Anchorage. I had the "Ted's big Breakfast" and it was 3 eggs, a large pancake, double hash browns, 4 thick slabs of bacon, and a gravy biscuit! All for under $20. The interior is classic diner with the glass cake/pie cooler and the corny signs on the wall. read more

Kriner's Diner - Diners Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Kriner's has a lot going against it. It's a cursed location that's extremely difficult to access unless you're driving southbound C Street from downtown. But if the food were good enough people would go. But Kriners is doomed unless they figure out what the hell they're doing. It looks like a smallish bistro inside, rather than a diner. Cute, actually, with a lot of potential. I don't know how they have the nerve to call themselves a diner with such a limited menu. Our food was sooo flavorless, except my salad dressing, which may well have been rancid. The only thing diner-y about Kriner's is that they must keep their food under heat lamps since it came out in a flash and the texture reflected this. If the prices were diner-y, I would be more forgiving. But 32 bucks plus tip for chicken fried steak and a shitty burger with super small salad gave me a serious case of buyer's remorse. I'm really disappointed. read more

A step back in time when service was number one. The food was amazing. the atmosphere was historical and wise. A writers treasure trove that would surely ease "writer's block." I can't say enough about the food and service. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside (or inside for that matter); however, the food is really good. The breakfast was served hot and plentiful and we got it in a flash! We both ordered a basic breakfast of eggs, bacon and/or sausage, hash browns and homemade sourdough toast with fresh blueberry and strawberry preserves. Probably the beast sausage links I have ever tried... so flavorful with a kick of spice to it. Delish! They have good hash browns too but they needed a bit of salt & pepper. We are here for a week and will most likely return, especially for the sausage links! read more

Was in town from Los Angeles for a business trip. Was served by a very sweet waitress and given really good service. She was attentive and very friendly. The portions were pretty good too! We had what I believe was called Tim's breakfast so had a nice spread. Definitely recommend! Will be coming back next time I'm in town! read more

I have known Andy Kriner for many years, and his mom also. The Kriner family has always turned out the best food for a fair price. No matter what you order, you won't be disappointed. My favorites are the Chicken Fried Steak, and the turkey sandwich. They actually bake a turkey and take the meat to make fresh huge sandwiches. Go check out Kriners Diner! It is one of the best restaurants in Alaska. Probably in the USA! read more

I highly recommend this restaurant! They are the best! Their breakfast are so delicious. I always get hotcakes with my meal, and I leave with a piece of fresh pie when I go! They have really good turkey sandwiches as well. read more

Been in Anchorage a couple days before flying out to fishing lodge. Tried a few of the breakfast places that are top of the Yelp list with disappointment. We walked to Kriner's this morning from downtown - about a 1.5 mile walk. Well worth it. Hands down best breakfast in Anchorage. Had the best chicken fried steak I can remember. It was crispy with crispy hash browns, eggs and huge. Needed 1.5 mile walk back to start working that off. read more

We live in Fairbanks and enjoy trying new places in Anchorage, when we come to visit. Lots to choose from, but Kriner's had no wait and were by far the friendliest on the phone when calling to inquire about wait time. Their menu is fun and unique. Every employee was smiley and friendly, but our waitress, Angela was especially kind. The food was delicious and very large portions. Definitely going to be visiting here again, next trip to Anchorage! read more

I had my first Alaska burger at Sal's Klondike Diner in Soldotna around 1986. My wife and I had many special occasions like the night before our first child was born sitting in the diner enjoying a burger, fries and a coke. Yesterday on our 38th valentines day together we were in Anchorage and visited Kriner's Diner. They say food soothes the soul and evokes memories of wonderful times. From the moment We stepped through the door and immediately felt at home. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was warm and inviting and the Alaska Burger was exactly as we had remembered. What a great find, I can't wait to go back. read more

Great food and great service friendly and they go the Extra mile to make visitors happy

My wife and I decided to come here specifically bc of a previous review that tried to turn a breakfast place political and man are we glad we did. The people here were so nice! The items in the menu are named after cousins, uncles, sister etc which is so cool. All the patrons were friendly and made with suggestions on where we should go and what we should do while we are here. Then the food... the portions are huge. Probably too huge for me who is on a diet. The homemade blueberry jam is unreal! And the waitress gave us a jar of it when we left. Amazing. But it was the pancakes... oh the pancakes which had the best flavor of any pancake I have honestly ever had. Now at first I was thinking this was bc I've been on a 90 day diet with no sugar but as I continued to eat it bite after bite I realized, NO, it was just the best pancake I've ever had! Kudos to this family for standing for what they believe in and as the leftists try and ruin everything in their wake, there is no way they will ruin this place! Too many loyal regulars and too great of people and food to not continue to thrive! Thank you Kriders! read more

Kriner's Diner - Gigantic container of Jelly they gave us when we left! - Diners Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Service and food were amazing. Loved our meal here and would return in a heartbeat when visiting again.

Very, very busy during weekend breakfast and brunch hours. It was just crowded and chaotic with waiters and waitresses hustling and bustling to meet the needs of all these hungry patrons. They were so busy, that it took them a bit to even acknowledge that we were waiting to be seated. This place is a bit small, and the layout seems a bit messy and doesn't flow well in my opinion. It could be so much more efficient. Speaking of efficient, I really liked the sense of teamwork that the waiters had. The service was as good as it could be, considering how busy it was when we were there. This restaurant is family friendly so bring anyone! I also think it's funny how the menus are printed on newsprint. When you walk in, it feels like being in the past since everyone looks like they're reading the morning paper. Their faces are just buried in that paper. The food you ask? Today I had the reindeer sausage skillet and I was pretty content with it, except it had very little reindeer sausage. It was very filling though and held me over for the rest of the afternoon. For $14.49 it's a generous amount of food. Honestly the breakfast looked and tasted very basic. The ingredients were all piled on top of each other on a skillet, but that was about it. I think what took away from the skillet feel is that the gravy for the biscuit was in a small plastic bowl, inside the skillet, with the rest if the food. The temperature was also not very skillet-like. We still enjoyed our visit and look forward to trying new items. There's so much potential, and I sure hope to see this place get more awesome. read more

The food and service are always top notch! Today, I went with a colleague and we both opted for the meatloaf sandwich. I thought it was incredibly strange they put cheese on it; but that's just my crazy opinion. Lunch was wonderful regardless. If I could, I would eat there everyday. read more

I ordered a to-go order that included Mac and Cheese ($10.99) and when I got home I found it was still in the microwave pouch for Kraft Mac and cheese. I was quite disappointed on several levels. It's been a huge challenge finding decent Mac and cheese since moving to Anchorage so I always order some when I see it on the menu. I don't go to a restaurant expecting to be served a microwave meal. I don't even make this for myself at home let alone charge someone for it. read more
