My favorite things there are the halibut fish and chips (on special many Fridays) and the Manhattan Dip (hamburger patties on a French Dip). The fries are always super tasty and breakfasts are always a big hit. The bartenders always pour right and the prices are reasonable. Their bloody mary is one of the spiciest and best I've had. Great for Sunday brunch! Sure it's a bit campy- the owner likes his oldies tunes, christmas lights seem like they're on all year, and don't judge the place by the carpet. I've ate there many times and I don't think the cooks or the servers have ever done me wrong.

I've been drooling over Tug Bar's "Overboard Bloodys," since at least 2022…read more Guess who finally made it to Settlers Bay, with the fam in tow, to indulge?! :) I came for the Overboard Bloody ($65) but had to try their buffet breakfast first. It was actually pretty great, for a bar buffet. The sole waitress/bartender was super sweet. She seemed to appreciate that we paid with cash. We're a colored neurodivergent family. We stick out like a sore thumb. I kinda expect to be treated differently, (especially in the sticks) but we weren't, here :) Tug's buffet breakfast was better than any hotel buffet breaky, that's for sure! They had french toast sticks, blueberry pancakes, different protein options, biscuits and gravy etc. No soda on tap, only cans. No strips or chicken nuggets here. I kinda figured and we planned to stop elsewhere for my son's eats (ARFID eater). Apparently, there are people who make reservations JUST for the overboard bloody's, so arriving at 11am (they opened at 10am), still had us a waiting a good 30-40min for ours. It was worth it! Tug Bar changes the toppings each week. This week was insane! Candy + an entire chicken, pork chop, lobster tail, sandwich, pretzel etc. see the photo and vid. I didn't need help drinking it, but of course I had my family help me eat it. We had lots of leftovers to take home. I can't wait to return one day! They have a sweet patio area!

Disclaimer: I've never had anything but breakfast here in all the years I've popped in…read more Breakfasts here are pretty bomb. This is a typical family diner, filled with vintage memorabilia and friendly wait staff. The type of place where, if you go often enough, they automatically bring your drink order without asking. The coffee could be stronger, but that's really the only suggestion I would make. The breakfasts are fast, hearty, and tasty--the kind of stuff you would make at home if you had a Blackstone and weren't hungover from playing on the lake.

It's located quite a ways down in the knik area, if you are not looking for it..you might miss it. The outside doesn't quite give you that welcoming vibe but thanks to fb..figured we suck it up and try it. They always promote these amazing food specials and the pictures are drool worthy..so yeah it piqued my curiosity. The interior is definitely surprising. It's nice, humble, warm, and yeah..welcoming. The staff is very pleasant and greets you immediately upon entering. This place has a full bar..so drinks helps ease that uncertainty for sure. The food..the food is delicious! We ordered the ribs special and it comes with all the fixings (roll, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked beans) and it's a lot of food for a great price. They also have a slow smoked prime rib special offered that night as well (Saturday). The food is seriously fire..best smoked ribs I have had since living in Texas. It's definitely worth stopping in for the food. The drinks are good and strong! Perfect! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend if you are looking for good BBQ and yummy classic take on American dining.

They have a large choice of food items and they serve breakfast all day. We ordered corn fritters w honey butter to try. They were amazing! I had two and could have eaten more but my dinner hadn't come out yet. I ordered the Halibut fish & chips. I was impressed how tasty they were. Perfectly fried and seasoned well. The tartar sauce was good. The cole slaw was okay so I tried the potato salad which was better. Overall great meal! Since we had a large party, they ran out of desserts before I had a chance to order. The 17 kids in the group were able to get order desserts, the adults did not. No worries. The trip was for the kids.

But so many options makes the possibilities feel almost endless. The bacon is crispy. If you like your bacon chewy, maybe ask for it that way. I like mine crispy and it's been that way EVERY SINGLE TIME. YAY! - - THE DOWNSIDE The decaf coffee is not great. I've had it three times and I think it's instant coffee, maybe? Whatever it is, it's bad. In a state with so much great coffee, this seems like a point that shouldn't be bad. Sigh* The over medium eggs are really over easy. This is a bummer. The diner of Alaska that can make me true over medium eggs will forever earn my patronage. - - Conclusion It's okay the coffee is bad, because they had a porter on tap which was almost like drinking an iced coffee. At least that's what I'm going with. =]
