Matanuska Glacier
Shelley L.

It was the best spot to eat after our Glacier tour. The waiter Mike was friendly and gave us the perfect beautiful glacier view deck seats. The mushroom burger was fresh and delicious. The apple cider was refreshing as well. It was the best view with delicious meal! Thanks Mike for the friendly services.

Chicken strips
Sapna S.

Really cute place with a beautiful view! If there's a table by the windows free get that seat. The food is pretty mediocre and average and also pricey. Both places of food were $35. It's the only restaurant in the area so after doing the glacier tour it was the only quick thing to eat without having to drive an hour into Palmer.

Salmon tacos

Long Rifle Lodge is an ideal location if you're looking for great food, great service, and great views! Stopped here for lunch on the way to Valdez and it was a very casual, welcoming atmosphere. The staff members were nice and helpful with great recommendations. I ordered the salmon tacos and also shared the blueberry crisp dessert with my friend; both were great!

What an unexpected surprise... IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE Alaska, we came to see the glacier and packed car snacks, not knowing the cutest and most delicious restaurant would be there for us to enjoy. The ambience was great and you could see the glacier from the patio, just overall, a wonderful experience.

After visiting the Manuska Glacier in Alaska our guide took us to the Long Rifle Lodge for lunch. The service and food were great. My wife and I both had hamburgers with fries which were both good. The restaurant was decorated with wild taxidermy animals and have a great view of the Glacier.

Blueberry Pie

We were looking for lunch and this was one of the only spots in the area. The food was not bad, but the glacier views through the large sweeping windows and wooden decor felt so cozy. There were lots of stuffed animals placed throughout the dining area. Alaskans sure love to hunt! $16.75 Glacier Burger - bacon cheeseburger w/ crinkle cut fries: Burger was okay, cooked decently, not too dry. $19.75 Cod Sandwich w/ onion rings: Not bad, 2 crispy fried cod filets, crunchy fried onion rings $19.75 Salmon Sandwich w/ onion rings: Salmon filet looked like it was ground into a salmon cake form All sandwiches were served with toasted ciabatta bread. $5 Blueberry Pie: This place is supposed to have good pie, so we decided to share the blueberry pie. It's alright. We had an enjoyable, filling meal. The real star of the meal was the view.

DON'T PASS THIS PLACE! Looks like a rural hole in the wall in the middle of a RV park, but it is a well kept, small restaurant and bar. Very well lit, with an excellent collection of large stuffed animals and WONDERFUL Glacier view (for now). This is a great stop along the Glenallen Highway for lunch, especially for children. (Don't touch the animals) They are struggling, like rest of AK, with hiring but our server was awesome and checked on us often. Standard fish sandwiches and hamburgers. It was totally warm and welcoming. This is a standout restaurant. I wanted to visit on the way back from the national park, but we were running a little late. I highly recommend stopping in. Definitely try out the deserts, which are mostly local, homemade pies with or without ala mode.

This long rifle café is a fantastic fun restaurant for family and friends to go to after the glacier. Their burgers were awesome, service was great and atmosphere has that fun, Alaska lodge experience. They also had great beers on tap from midnight Sun! I highly recommend this place!

This is a really unique place in the area. With all the stuffed toys for the big macho man and the amazing scenic background of Matanuska glacier makes this place a culinary and visual delight. After our hectic hike up the glacier, our tour guide Lori took us here for a filling lunch. I opted for salmon sandwich with came with onion rings. The salmon tasted fresh and it came on a warm ciabatta bread. The onion rings were super crispy. For dessert I got their homemade Rhubarb pie on a recommendation of our guide and I am glad I tried it. Never thought Rhubarb can go in a dessert. But it worked. Loved it. Colt served us and he was easy to talk to, gave us quick service and made sure we were well attended. The staff also took care of our guide's tab that was nice of them. Highly recommend.

Great view. Very attentive service. Great vegetarian burger. Great cod sandwich. Must try Rhubarb Pie!

The glacier view!

Just happened across this place while exploring Alaska. Great food, and friendly and helpful staff! We had Blueberry chipotle salmon fish tacos, and chicken strips and fries. Best fish tacos i have ever had, was warned the tacos had some spice, being from AZ wasnt worried, but they were actually pretty spicy! French fries, and chicken strips were perfectly crisp! Highly recommend stopping in if you can!! And with the Beautiful view of the glacier, you would regret it if you didnt stop here!

This is a gem! We found this by chance, there aren't many (any!) food options around this area so if you are passing by definitely stop here, I highly recommend it! We were given a warm welcome by the server. They really seemed to care! The interior is full of taxidermy animals. We were seated by the window with a fantastic glacier view. We got the salmon burger, chile, burrito, fish tacos amd mudslide ice cream. Everything that we had was really good and fresh! The food was very reasonably priced too.

The views are unmatched. The food, subpar at best. Seems like most of the food was frozen and just heated up.

Our group of 6 dropped into Grand View Cafe for a quick lunch before driving onto Anchorage. It…read moreserved its purpose but was nothing remarkable food-wise. I ordered the Chicken Fried Rice and I should have known better than to get it in remote Alaska. While a sizable portion, it left a lot to be desired. There was nothing really remarkable about this dish compared to others I've had. They have an extensive menu with foods of all flavor profiles and origins. I would be open to trying something different as those in my group enjoyed their meals. The service was a bit slow for what I was hoping for during lunch. There were two people inside working the front counter and one person cooking. With six of us arriving I expected it to be a bit slower but not as long as we waiting. Plus, one member of our group had their order get lost. Our group sat outside to enjoy the views of the glacier and mountains around us. This did not disappoint and if you're stopping here for a quick bite and the weather is nice, absolutely make it a point to sit outside or at least by a window!

The views are killer with Lions Head and the Matanuska glacier. A short trail leads to a place to…read moreview both. Mark and Nancy are caring hosts. If you want some hand made pizza, show up after three and Odin will make you one. I asked Nancy if I could perform during dinner time (I'm a singer/songwriter/guitarist) and she enthusiastically agreed. A nice place to park your RV for a night, or two? And the beer is cold...

Off to the side are a bunch of helicopter pads for the tour company that shares the building. The food is nothing crazy. I don't know if make the trek just for the food for sure. The French onion soup was okay. The bread didn't sop up the soup and it wasn't hot. The flavor was decent. The Cobb salad is fresh with lots of veggies and they will give you any choice of dressing they have on hand. The buffalo burgers were ok. Mine was a bit dry because it was over cooked even though I asked for medium rare. The side available was chips. The fish tacos were okay. It comes with three. Two were well loaded the third not so much. We ended the meal with a scoop of fireweed and honey. It was fun and unique to try. Again. Nothing crazy worth the drive.

I asked for a recommendation from my waitress and she said the loaded macaroni and cheese was excellent and she was right. The portion size was huge and I had two other meals from it. The cider was just sweet enough and tasted good. It was from a local company in Anchorage and I would have gotten it again. The deck was a nice place to take in the beautiful mountains and glaciers and also to see the helicopters taking off and returning from tours. Their menu isn't huge but there is enough on the menu to satisfy most people. I was tempted to get their wings, but the loaded mac and cheese was a good choice, tasty, and very filling.
