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.

I had a side of grits which I haven't had in forever and was worth the wait! I love the diner charm and the Coca Cola themes in the main dining areas.

The waitress came over and was like are you ready to order after 1 min, I replied no give us a minute, which seemed to irritate her. She came back 2 mins later and we ordered, which was very hurried and short cut by the waitress, just like the other 1 star reviews this chick was borderline rude! Anyways, I ordered various items. Sausage gravy and biscuits was trash! 0/5. Hard biscuits, tasteless gravy was like flour and water slop, what sausage?! Nonexistent! Bacon was perfect, hash browns with onions/gravy was good, but I didnt request well done they were hard. Links were well done as requested. So 3/5 as food totals.

Service was immediate and so friendly. The restaurant quickly filled with tourists and locals in the early morning. I loved that everyone coming in the door was greeted like family. I judge restaurants by their chicken friend steak. This was one of the better ones I've had in a long time. The gravy wasn't the best I've had, but still good. The chicken friend steak, though, yummy! Crispy, juicy, great flavors. Grits are grits, but the eggs were well-cooked, and they added cheese as ordered. I am a huge sourdough fan, and this bread did not disappoint. Just the right amount of tang. Bring your cholesterol meds because everything was served with a lot of butter! The restaurant motif is warm Alaskan log cabin. Stuffed animal heads and antlers hang on the walls. Everything is wooden and warm. Just what you would expect in an Alaskan diner. We came back on a subsequent day when we were back in Anchorage. I had the corned beef hash and more of that great sourdough toast. I know I'll be back next time I'm in town... maybe for lunch.

I was honestly really excited going in because I love an old-school diner moment... but this one was a bit of a miss for me. My food was fine, nothing terrible, just not something I'd go out of my way to come back for. The biggest letdown though was the biscuit and gravy. The gravy was very bland and had a strong uncooked flour taste, to the point where it just didn't feel worth continuing to eat after a couple bites, which was disappointing. Breakfast is usually my go-to at places like this, but if I ended up back here, I'd probably skip the breakfast menu and try something else instead. Overall, great service and a welcoming, local feel, just didn't quite hit for me food-wise this time.

I lived in Spenard for over a…read moredecade and this is an anchor in the neighborhood, in fact we ran into a 90 year old friend while we were there. But every time we visit, it reinforces why its not my jam. First, let me explain my bias- Im from New Jersey. New Jersey is.the diner capital of the world. As one of the smallest states, it still managed to have 130 24-hour diners while I was a teenager. You could get an quality meal that included a drink, entree, 2 sides and a dessert for what was the equivalent for less than an hours worth of work at the time. For even less you could get an enormous breakfast with toast, pancakes and 2 eggs, 2 meats.and a coffee. And it was good. And the variety was just wow... And Leroys just.... isn't they do sandwiches and breakfast. And its not cheap. You can't get a hot, affordable dinner here...they have a very limited list of hot dinners.. I got a rueben and salad. It was fine. Had I not taken a picture of it I wouldn't even have remembered what I got. It was not memorable. My husband bot breakfast. I thought his over easy eggs looked a bit overcooked. But he said his pancakes were the best he had in a very long time. My biggest issue is cleanliness. The places is a massive and I mean MASSIVE HOSEDOWN. Same reason I won't eat at Kava's anymore. Dust and grease are not a good combo. Mixed bag here i think. The locals support it because it's a real mom and pops where they congregate. But it does leave a lot to be desired. If you're not from here, I'm not sure that I can say its worth a visit unless they bring back their 24 hour service that made them unique.

Fabulous Meal! The UAA Culinary Students knocked this meal…read moreout of the park. I had the Filet Surf and Turf. My Filet was cooked and seasoned to perfection. I would say my steak would have given Whiskey and Ramen a run for their money. A true medium rare and juicy. Nearly tender enough to cut with a fork. The Scallops. I don't usually care for scallops but I will say there was a perfect sear and they were not over cooked. Sweet Potato Gnocchi was really good and the Gorgonzola Sauce was balanced flavorful and I will be trying to replicate it soon. My son enjoyed a flank steak, delicious, a good sear and just enough lime to enhance the experience. We skipped the desserts I have to address the prices which are ridiculously low. I hear reservations fill up quick so watch their website.

I do think some of the items were on the pricier side for what you are receiving as well as considering it's a student run lab, and not an operating restaurant. Although the restaurant is in more of a cafeteria setting thru do a very nice job of making it feel more high end with their table settings & fresh florals. The students are also dressed very professionally, and the menu is a great selection of higher end items. My favorite part of the meal were the desserts (Lady Palmer & Black cherry chocolate cake). They were exemplary quality, and I feel were restaurant ready. For our entrees I ordered the duck breast, and black cod. I really enjoyed the basil & pea puree that came with the cod, and for the duck breast I thought it was seasoned well though I would've preferred it a little less well done. For appetizers I ordered prawn fritters & a bread plate. I really enjoyed the different components of the bread plate; my favorite being the whipped honey feta. The fritters were tasty, but I wish they had more prawn pieces in them. This restaurant is a learning experience for the students so you should not go into this meal expecting 5 star perfection, but it's a great way to get involved in helping to educate the culinary students in a real life setting. The meal includes comment cards that they ask you fill out, which will really help the students improve. Lucy's was a very fun & unique experience, and I hope to be able to get a reservation again next year!
