    Little Dipper Diner was one of the few places open on New Year's Day so we stopped in for lunch. It wasn't too full, and they didn't look understaffed, but it took awhile to get our order taken after being seated. I landed on the biscuits and gravy and added overeasy eggs. Despite the slow start, our food came out quickly and was pretty good. Definitely comfort food so not the healthiest. I wouldn't count LDD as one of my top choices but would return to give them another chance.

    Delicious breakfast! I would absolutely eat here again. The breakfast bagel sandwich was so good. I could only eat half because the portion of home fries was huge. Husband had the chicken fried steak and grits; he loved it and also took half home. We ordered 1 piece of French toast for our breakfast dessert - yum! We had wonderful service. We sat on the side with arcade games but the other side is like a normal diner.

    Cute diner with Coca Cola themed interior. Large portions and fun games on the other side of the room. Good for a hearty brunch.

    Best eggs Benedict and potatoes buttery smooth! Soo good i ate them on two different days for breakfast.

    This is a beautiful little tucked away spot. Didn't know it was here but so glad we found it. my wife is getting her hair done at MisFits and we stopped in. Has an arcade and kids cartoon theater is super cool. Full of cocaCola memorabilia, good portions are huge def enough for 2 people per plate. Highly recommend

    Located in a strip mall. There was a short wait on a Sunday morning - but not bad really. Hubby got the corned beef hash, eggs and tater tots, I got the BLT with onion rings. We were right near the kitchen and I could see when my order was up - and it unfortunately sat there for about 7 mins before it was served, so the onion rings were on their way to cold when i finally got them. BLT was pretty good though. Star of the show was the tater tots, they were served piping hot and maybe are homemade (or some better version than in your grocer's freezer). I think the corned beef hash was canned, but was salty and hit a good breakfast spot in my tummy.

    Little Dipper has to be one of my top favorite breakfast spots in Anchorage. Family-owned spot with amazing staff that remember returning guests and create the homie ambiance that this place resonates. Their cooking is spot on and coffee is always being offered and never missing at your table! They even have a small arcade on one side of the restaurant to keep the little ones (and not so little ones) entertained. We stayed in anchorage for 10 days and returning to Little Dipper was never a question.

    Located in the corner of a strip mall, this little hole in the wall diner can be easily missed. But I'm telling you guys - you DONT want to miss it! We ended up going on a Saturday at 1130ish and The seating is limited, but worth the wait! It only took us only 15 minutes to be seated with a swarm of people in front of us, gave us time to catch up tho. We went with friends EVERYONE got good food. Since Im an Uber early riser it was lunch time for me. I got a French dip, with an over easy egg on it. Nothing to write home about, but it was good in the same. Tater tots are always good, just make them extra crunch && there is nothing to gripe about. The husband got the Philly cheese steak omelet. I did take a bite and it was quite good (tried to avoid the godly amount of cheese) *lactose here* but he loved it! Our friends got the 2x2x2 pancake, sausage links and eggs. She was pleased && her husband ordered the country fried steak scramble, as you can see mountains with delish country gravy. That was, I think, the highlight of the meal. Super pleased over all with EVERYTHING. They are a well oiled machine. Even when they were busy, a couple of our toast got misplaced, but it was right out in a jiffy once we mentioned it. Never let the old time diner vibe die! This place is a must go!

    Lightning Fast Service and Delicious Breakfasts! We…read morestopped by for a midmorning breakfast and were delighted by both the service and the food. Within 20 minutes of walking in, we were seated, served coffee and water, placed our order, and received our meals. We enjoyed classic breakfast favorites--fried eggs, patty sausage, biscuits and gravy, reindeer sausage--and the lightest, fluffiest, most perfectly prepared Belgian waffle. The experience was so impressive that we returned the next day to see whether it had been a fluke; it was not. The staff was just as friendly and efficient, and while the breakfast sandwich we added was delicious, I couldn't resist ordering another heavenly waffle. I strolled by the kitchen, a couple of times, to try and look to see what magic they were performing in the background, but their secret sauce is the people who work there! So close to the airport, great staff, even better breakfasts and a must stop for breakfast on your way to or from the airport.

    I'll preface this by saying that I've heard plenty of good things about Heidi's food, portions and…read morecleanliness. So I really wanted this to become a regular spot for me. Unfortunately, after trying two weekends in a row, I'm giving up. I completely understand that weekend breakfast/brunch is going to be busy. Waiting isn't the issue. The check-in and seating process is just incredibly disorganized. Both visits I put my name on the waitlist. The first time, I specifically asked if I could take one of two open seats at the bar and was told I still needed to join the waitlist. I did, but guests who arrived after me were eventually seated at the bar ahead of me. The second weekend, essentially the same thing happened again. There also doesn't seem to be a clear way to tell who is actually waiting versus who has just arrived. Meanwhile, I watched larger tables that had been pushed together for bigger parties remain together after those parties left, then get reset and used for smaller groups rather than being separated again. That's a lot of usable seating sitting unnecessarily occupied when you have a lobby full of people waiting. When I asked the host during my first visit why someone behind me on the waitlist had been given the bar seat I'd originally asked about, I received an apology but no real explanation or resolution. On the positive side, after spending plenty of time waiting on both visits, I can certainly confirm what others have said about the restaurant being clean and the portions looking generous coming out of the kitchen looke I genuinely wanted to try Heidi's, and I still think it may be worth visiting during slower hours. But after two consecutive weekend experiences with the same seating issues, the problem feels less like "they were busy today" and more like a process that needs some attention. Unfortunately, that's enough for me to stop trying for now.

You can see them bake the pastries and bread. Our first time in line, I decided to get their sausage poached egg breakfast sandwich and an Alaskan berry scone. My friend got their breakfast focaccia came with egg, cheese sausage on a focaccia. My egg sandwich was not good. I was surprised they didn't heat the sandwich. Not even sure if I had to ask? The egg wasn't that poached, the inside was just gooey and not runny, which was fine by me. Since it was not heated, the sausage patty was so cold, egg was cold, the bread bun they used was so big, too much bread, stale/hard and not proportional. It was pretty bad, not a good breakfast sandwich. Skip it. They made that up in the breakfast focaccia. The focaccia was warm, soft, and the egg and sausage was warm and just right. That's what you should get!!! We came back in line and got additional items bc they put our more. I got their fruit danish, my friend got their chocolate cupcake and an ham cheddar scone. Their danish was delicious. And their scones were very flakey and soft. Everything was great except that breakfast sandwich. Skip that and get the breakfast focaccia.
