Great service, clean, chill, frosty beer mug, reasonable prices, lots of options for seafood. Mostly fried stuff as you'd expect. Pretty good family option as well. read more

We only had two days in Anchorage and tried both 49th State Brewing and Momma O's Seafood. The prices were pretty similar, but the food and atmosphere were completely different. At Momma O's, we ordered the fried halibut and squid combo with French fries. Unfortunately, the batter was bland, and I could really taste the old oil. It just wasn't very good. Between the two, I would definitely choose 49th State Brewing. Much better food and a nicer overall experience. read more

Great, simple seafood in a decidedly unfancy, unpretentious place. I had the grilled salmon dinner with clam chowder and stir-fried veggies (you can pick from a variety of accompaniments). Everything was excellent and the salmon was cooked just right, not overdone. The service was a little scattered on my visit, but that's a fairly minor quibble. read more

Y'all this is SLAP YO MOMMA good!! I had the shrimp alfredo and it was scrumptious. It comes with a side of delicious garlic bread. I started with the house salad (comes with house made ranch). Hubby had a burger with fries and didn't leave any crumbs. My plate was also wiped clean! Haha. Left no crumbs y'all I'm telling you go try this place!! Inside it's been remodeled and it's beautiful! The server is a total sweetheart and very much enjoyed talking to him. Another Spenard gem!! read more

When we walked I the first door and saw the inside, we almost didn't go in. It had a small "diner-esque" feel. However, we always like to eat at local places (not national chains) when traveling so we gave it a shot. Our booth was comfortable and roomy, the table was spotless. Hubby ordered grilled halibut with fried calamari and fried prawns. I had grilled salmon with fried clam strips. Both of us had shoestring fries for our sides. The fried food seems to be where they excel. Everything fried tasted fresh, not greasy, and delicious. The grilled fish was another story. The thicker parts of both the halibut and salmon were cooked well and tasted fresh. However, the thinner parts were tough and dry. Service was outstanding. read more

The staff are amazing, always pleasant, always polite. Then the food is absolutely to die for my go to his clam strips, but their other seafood is available. Momma O's has redesigned their restaurant very nicely read more

Great service. Combo plates were loaded with food. Huge shrimp, crispy fried cod, clam strips, & fries. Husband had oysters instead of clams and they were very good. This seems like a place "where locals eat" which was exactly what we were looking for. read more

So most folks think of only salmon when Alaska is mentioned. I did. And when I went, the salmon were even swimming upstream. But the locals I was having lunch with said, try the halibut. I did. Good call. Nothing fancy - battered and deep fried. But super fresh. I also ordered the chowder. Much like the halibut, it was also deep fried - only if that were possible. But it was creamy and hearty. The waitstaff were friendly. The cook even came to check on us. It was a nice touch. The one word to best describe the place itself is cozy. It made for a really comfortable outing - which is helpful when lunching with people for the first time. Overall, good comfort food. read more

Can't say I enjoyed the food here. My father and I are from out of state and looking forward to trying some Alaska salmon and halibut. This place gotta pretty good reviews and it was the cheapest. I guess that's our mistake for going with the cheapest. You get what you pay for. My halibut was over cooked making it pretty tough and dry. It was also a very small portion. I got the combo so it came with fries (which was the best part of th read more

Overall the food was good, fried! Better than fast food but a little on the pricier side. Fries tasted good, the seafood tasted fresh. Not a big fan of the tartar sauce. A good place to try out since we visited Alaska but nothing wow or worth returning. read more

Service was great. Waitress was personable and at ease giving recommendations. She had the combo with grilled halibut that was delightful and shrimp that was delicious. I had the halibut and shrimp pasta that was heavily. Definitely a place we will come back to everytime we are in town. read more

When entering, customer service was great. Considering we were the only one's in the restaurant, the service was pretty quick. When upon ordering, I was expecting the portions to be a little bit more then what we got due to the prices. But the food was decent. The Clam Chowder was good, I forgot to take a pic of my little bowl. read more

Meh. I've lived a half block from Momma Os for a decade and always avoided it because it's so damn expensive. I figured since we were moving I should try it at least once. I have no regrets about having only eaten their once. The food was fine and prepared well, but relative to quality and portion and service style and setting it is extremely over-priced. Plus you leave the place smelling like you were bathed in oil which I find super gross. The halibut was tender, but had no flavor. Fries were unseasoned. Our server forgot our drinks. $50 for fast food is ridiculous. Not impressed. read more

Little bit of a dive but I really enjoyed the place. It's in a strip mall and looks a bit run down on the outside, but clean on the inside. Service was prompt and friendly. Prices were very reasonable. We tried the salmon burger and the halibut burger. Tried some of each but the halibut is a bit better. It's also the most popular. read more

Momma O's Seafood - Catfish Special with Steak French Fries & P'O Boy Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Disgusting. I'm sorry but I can not let this go unshared. Cooks here know nothing about preparing and properly cooking food. See the photo attached. The clans were nearly as bad and my son's halibut was grilled too long. Dry and flavorless. They tried to make it right by frying more up for me only it was delivered saturated in oil. Dripping with oil. Calling yourself a seafood restaurant doesn't make you a seafood restaurant. And how any one gives this did a pass blows me away. Staff was nice about it but they know nothing about cooking seafood. read more

Good food, very friendly customer service. It's a hole in the wall place, but don't let that fool you. There is a variety of yummy choices, and the restaurant is exceptionally clean. The ladies restroom was spotless. My husband and I ordered the fried cod, fried and grilled shrimp, sauteed vegetables, and steak fries. It was all very tasty. We'd definitely return. read more

Clam chowder was cold. Salmon portion was TINY. $30 for both was overpriced for Alaska standards. Wanted to experience seafood somewhere quick and easy, but I left disappointed. read more

If you live in Anchorage, everyone wants to come visit you. They probably ask you the same 'ol questions. One of them probably is "what's the best seafood restaurant in town". Which is frustrating, because I'd argue that that question doesn't have an easy answer, though it should. Momma O's is a decent candidate, for a "quick serve" seafood restaurant. It reminds me of an east coast lobster house on the beach with picnic tables. Except it's in Spenard. They have fresh seafood, most of it fried and served with French fries (although you can get most things grilled and with a trip to the salad bar instead). Prices are reasonable. However, you'd never call it an "event" place or a "sit down" place. It's very good for what it is though: a great place to get a fried fish basket on the go. Give them a shot! read more

Ever since this place was sold the food has steadily gone downhill, small portions, not as fresh and the place isn't as clean as it once was. read more

I was craving some sort of chowder, any king, seafood, fish, clam, whatever and found Momma O's. I was not that hungry and went with the bowl of clam chowder and steamed mussels. The chowder taste was good but it was not thick like others described as I found more liquidy than thick. and my bowl was predominantly the broth and not the clams, potatoes or other veggies. Thus a 2 1/2 star for the chowder. The steamed mussels did not have much juice to work with, dipping a steamed and now dry appearing mussel is good when there is ample sauce to dip it into. The appearance was so reminiscent of Lake Mead over the years with only scant liquid. They did taste reasonably fresh but mostly on the dry side. 3 stars. So food is good enough I might try it again but ordering different things. Easy parking and here is massage businesses all around this mall. Ha! enough to tantalize me to make an appointment for a full body massage. read more

I had a thought of having a bowl of Clam Chowder in Seattle. So I thought I would try Momma O's for my craving. I ordered 2 bowls of Clam Chowder to go. It came with 4 bags of Oyster Crackers, and 2 spoons. I brought it home and tasted the Chowder. Boy O boy it is so good. The creaminess with the crunchiness of onions, celery and potatoes. It is so satisfying, I found my place for my cravings. Momma O's oh yes! read more

Restaurant was empty around 6 pm, except for a guy picking up for food delivery. Ordered the calamari, or kalamari as shown on the menu. Not the appearance, taste or texture you would normally expect. Not sure if it was even squid. Surcharge was added for using a credit card. read more

A diamond in the rough. This place is a great little quick service place--you order at the front, give them your name and they call out your food once it's done. I think it's great for lunch, especially since I work in midtown, but perfect for a quick dinner. Most people come here for a fried fish of some sort, but they have quite a bit of healthy options as well. I tend to order the grilled salmon with stir fry veggies. The salmon is always cooked fresh on a real grill with a flame!! This is quite amazing cause most quick service places use flat top grills. You can also add seasonings to your food-- lemon pepper, blackened, Cajun, etc. my boyfriend usually gets the grilled chicken with Cajun seasoning--which I've tried and the Cajun season is spot on, so much flavor. We do know that momma o's was recently taken over by the owner of winky's wings and they are definitely kicking it up. When we walked in tonight we saw a few new specials on their chalkboard-gumbo and Alfredo. We didn't order either but, while we were eating the owner cane up to our table and asked us if we liked shrimp and bacon, we said yes and the owner told us that he would be back with something for us to try. A few minutes later he brought us over a generous sample size of the gumbo. I say generous because it was a cups worth ad had at least 7/8 shrimp in it. After trying it I wish there was more it was bursting with flavor. We are looking forward to see what else the new owner brings to the restaurant, so far it's going in the right direction! read more

Terrible. How this place gets 4 stars is beyond me. The restaurant is disgusting and unkempt. My grilled salmon was dry and flavorless. My husbands halibut was just as bad. To top it off, the prices are outrageous. read more
