Great service! Get the clams!!!!!!! The nachos were a great starter. Plenty for 7 people. A few people split the clams (3-4 servings) and holy cow was it amazing!! The leek and potato pizza was good and comforting food, but the Buffalo sliders were a disappointment. Not enough arugula or jam so the salt from the blue cheese and pretzel bun took over all the other flavors. Should have gotten more clams! read more

After living in ANC for 6 years I finally made it to the RG. I shouldn't have wait so long. We had the Moroccan Cauliflower and the Special, Lamb Shank Ravioli. The cauliflower was exceptional, as was the lamb. We accompanied the entrees with some really nice reds. We also had the Bread Pudding for dessert, which was also incredible. The best bread pudding I've had. Finally, the service from Adam, was great! read more

This restaurant is a nope for me. I went to late lunch with a friend and the atmosphere was loud - from guests talking to servers bustling around to dishes clanging. The tables were spread apart from others and decor was set up as if to welcome quiet groups for a relaxing meal when in reality it sounded like a downtown pub on a Friday night. By the time I added shrimp to my panzanella salad, it was $24, and it wasn't worth it. For $12 it would be a decent lunch special but for $24 it was underwhelming and felt a bit like they pulled one over on me. The fried cauliflower bites were good because they were large bites with the right ratio of breading vs cauliflower; they were slightly undercooked and I'm need of salt, however. Our server was friendly yet inattentive. The restaurant was not particularly busy while we were there but we never got a chance to ask for salt for our cauliflower or a refill on our teas until the end, and we had to hunt her down for almost ten minutes to pay the bill. Hard pass on the next invite to Rustic Goat. read more

Last Saturday I had the privilege of of enjoying. Crab Bisque .... I've eaten at this restaurant many times and always look forward to my Next experience. It is our favorite restaurant in Anchorage as the quality is unsurpassed, the menus is amazing and one can always count on a delicious meal. read more

This place has a kind of high-end postmodern vibe, with various exotic dishes. But it's not all posturing -- the food is great. The number of vegan or vegetarian options is limited, but they're good. I had the Moroccan Cauliflower, which was awesome. Such a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. The cauliflower was slightly crispy but still juicy and tender, and the fried garbanzo beans added just the right crunch. And with such an array of vegetables of all colors, this is a dish you can enjoy guilt-free. read more

Fantastic food and service! I'm glad I made a reservation in advance, it filled up rather quickly for a Monday. I had bison sliders with tomato coconut curry soup and cheesecake in a jar for dessert. It was all divine and I highly recommend it! The atmosphere is fresh and fun, perfect date night spot or night out with friends. read more

All of our first time here and there is parking with minimal space. Thou can park across the street with a few. I highly suggest making reservations ahead of time, we waited only 5 minutes and often it's a half hour wait without a reservation. Long anticipation to come here as we all were hungry from the rain and cool lovely weather. We sat upstairs and it's a lively scene and had a view overlooking picturesque mountains and trees. Service was friendly and our waitress was in a rush thou took her time with us. We ordered a few pizza- margarita with honey and it was flavorful according to my friends mama. We had the chicken masala and chicken seemed to have been boiled and tossed With masala sauce. This dish lacked salt, lacked flavor which was disappointing. My pizza was the mushroom with truffle sauce. There was no flavor in the crust. The medley of mushrooms was lackluster, no flavor unfortunately and the spice they added removed the flavor of the truffle. The pizza was $19 and this was expensive considering it was not edible. Would we return? Possibly and order the staples that are a hit here which are the nachos and salads. We ended up not finishing our food and ordering out at a famous pizza joint in downtown Anchorage. read more

I have eaten at the Goat 3-5 times. Each time in feel the food is solid and somewhat unique. However, the attitude of the waitstaff has gone from helpful and kind to snooty and elitist. Last time I visited I arrived fairly close to opening without a reservation. No parties in front of me. I was told to sit and wait, since I had no reservation. After 10 minutes was asked upstairs or down. I pointed to my rollator (rolling walker with a seat), and she pointed across the dining area to the elevator. Well, upstairs it was! We were taken to the far corner of the upstairs dining, navigating all the the empty tables between the elevator and our far corner seat. We ordered the nachos with the pork. Excellent. That is the only thing that will make me come back. We left maybe an hour after arriving. Still only 5 parties in the restaurant. The delay and the remote seating was not necessary based on their business. Pity, that the staff believes that they should be treated as a Michelin-star establishment. Let's earn one first, I would think. read more

Found this place purely from reviews because it's in a neighborhood and it's an odd two-story modern-looking building that you would think is an office if you drove by. Started off at the goat nachos. They were very fun it's a nice marinated goat everything is put into this big wood fired pizza looking thing and then that's how they melt the cheese and it comes right out on a wooden platter and it's fun. We opted for the big clams and sausage appetizer to split between the two of us as our meal and it is way too much food with tons of sausage, potatoes, and clams. If you sit at the bar you can watch them warm this giant pita as it swells up to the size of a basketball that they drape over the top of the hot skillet full of food you're about to receive. The bathrooms are in good shape and the parking is right there in their own lot or if you want on the street. read more

Been a fan of the Goat for years Great ambience, great service, great good. Tonight had the lamb shank special. Delicious . Kudos to head chef Frazier read more

Good atmosphere and bustling with guests. Got the Moroccan cauliflower and Greek salad. Both were OK, maybe should have ordered different items. read more

Without a doubt the best restaurant in Alaska. The menu is very elegant and the ambiance is very hip.

Stopped by at the Rustic Goat a few days ago for dinner with friends and all in all, it was a decent meal. Service was good, and we were seated quickly. We started off with the Vegan Hummus Platter, which comes with a HUGE bowl of hummus, two types of harissa, avocado (no olive medley for us, not sure why...), mini peppers, and pita slices. We finished all the peppers and pita and still had a good 1/2 of the dip and harissa left over. We tried the Bison Sliders which were... something. The Bison patty itself tasted okay, not seasoned very well... but the vanilla fig jam was what threw me off. It is not something that I am used to. Definitely boujee and an acquired taste. My husband got the Truffle Mushroom Pizza, it was alright. Could not taste the chili oil at all. Looks fancy but tastes basic. Now... I got the Drunken Clams and Sausage... let me tell you, that sh*t came out looking sexyyy as f*ckkkk. Manila Clams - briny, chewy, delicious. Reindeer and Andouille Sausage - perfectly seasoned with a satisfying SNAP when you bite into the outer casing. Fingerling Potatoes - soft and fluffy. And some sort of pepper that added a bit of sourness/acidity to the dish. All of this tossed in creamy sauce served with some warm pita to dip into the sauce. Maybe a tad bit salty, but all in all I think the best dish of the night. read more

Absolutely my new favorite restaurant to visit when I come to Anchorage!!! Phenomenal menu; great atmosphere and the best service EVER! Adam was phenomenal as my server and recommended a great wine pairing with my "adult lunchable" aka charcuterie board. I am the person to ALWAYS order dessert and I recommend their bread pudding. You will have a great view of the mountains from the upstairs tables. Highly recommend this place for locals or new comers to the city. read more

A hipster place, w/ a good vibe and good beer on draft as you'd expect. Pizza is typically great. Main dishes are wildly over priced and the portions built for profit. I ordered the Scallops over risotto ($42). The scallops were caramelized only on one side and i don't think the other side touched the heat. The risotto was ok, but served luke warm to room temp. That went along w/ the scallops which came out underdone. The dish looked good, but i I took two bites and called it a day. The server didn't offer to remake...they just took it off the bill and apologize. That's unfortunate bc I would have given the chef another shot to show her stuff. 2 out of 5 since the salad and beer were good...those are tough to screw up. read more

Whenever I have a visitor from out of state, I always end up taking them here to show off one of the cool foodie places in Alaska. The interior is so chic and cute, and the staffs are always so nice and friendly. The foods usually come out fast that I didn't have to wait too long every time I come. They sometimes have special menu that would blow your mind (love their bone marrow! everyone should try when available!!) I just went last week and I want to go again read more

Do not order the cauliflower appetizer. Cauliflower was baked/fried similar to calamari and came with housemade (we think??) sour cream and cocktail sauce. Ambience however was lovely. There were many windows which made for a beautiful view of the snow outside. Our waiter, Adam, was lovely and very helpful. 10/10 Adam. Unfortunately, because the cauliflower made us sick we were unable to eat the rest of our food. For what it's worth, the pesto pizza looked great and the kale salad was really yummy. read more

Amazing dinner!!! I love the atmosphere upstairs, our server Hannah was pleasant and helped us pick out great wines to go with our dinner. I had the roasted cauliflower salmon salad and it was delicious!!!!!!!! It definitely ranks as one of my favorite salads I ever had at a restaurant. Highly recommend for a date night in Anchorage. read more

Honestly.. the food was so good, I forgot about the steep prices. I haven't been here in about 3 years, but decided to revisit for a date and we were blown away by how great everything was. Service was spot on. Our server Carlie, was knowledgeable about the new menu and suggested some things to us and everything ended up being phenomenal. I had the Flat Iron Wedge Salad (steak salad), my partner had the Shrimp Scampi and we ordered the Bread Pudding for desert. The vibe is perfect for a date or even a quick cider or beer. Being an Alaskan local, I haven't been blown away by the quality of a restaurant in a long time, we will definitely be back! read more

I've literally never had a better burger and fries in my 64 years! I had to have the chef alter mine due to stomach issues and he was so very kind to oblige my request. All the staff was wonderful and I'm quite grateful for that on my birthday. Ty Rustic Goat! read more

This is an unique open space, two level eatery serving the finest cuisine that is just as unique - American comfort is what their menu says, my experience was American fantastic. Full service bar from wine to beer and very handcrafted cocktail in between. Wheelchair accessible and server friendly with the finest in customer care and service! Stop in for lunch or dinner, you will not be disappointed. read more

Every time we've been to this restaurant, the food has been beyond what we could've expected. It not only sounds interesting on the menu, it looks incredible when brought to you, and tastes far better than you could've hoped. From their legendary Rustic Goat Nachos (seriously, a meal by themselves!) to their Fig n' Pig Pizza, and the Tiramisu, Rustic Goat delivers! Service is always next level, and then there's the view - you could not ask for a more Alaskan scene as you dine. If you've not been to Rustic Goat, you owe it to your mouth. read more

Surprisingly meh food. Falls into the category of trying too hard. Burrata had a LOT going on - probably didnt need a couple of the things in it. Salmon was overcooked and the risotto it was served with too brothy/saucey. (The risotto is supposed to absorb the sauce) However they do have a good beer selection, nice balcony seating and a cool space. Go for the beer and atmosphere and not the food. read more

Tried this spot for a dinner date and it didn't disappoint. Staff was was pleasant and service was quick even during dinner rush. Tried the bison sliders and date had the shrimp scampi, both were tasty! Will definitely add this spot to visit again. read more

I WANT TO LIKE THIS PLACE SO BAD. I've been eating at the Goat for YEARS and I've been praying the time would never come to write this review, but guys... it's time... Do Not Eat Here. First, the Goat is a DOPE spot. Beautiful building, awesome neighborhood location, great goat logo, huge windows, sunny patio (in the summer), local ownership, good service. It's even kinda ~*~TrEnDy~*~. If you're lucky enough to live nearby, it's a great to walk or bike. But--and I hate to say it--the food is bad. That calamari steak dish that used to be fresh and light and creative? Well it's overcooked, rubbery, and uninspired 4 years later. The chicken marsala? The chicken is chalk white and the sauce is more like fettuccine alfredo but... somehow even cheesier and less flavorful at the same time... Cheese water? Hard to describe really. The bison sliders that used to be juicy and a great pre-meal app? Now they're bone-dry, both bun and patty. The vegan stir fry with peanut butter sauce? To start off with, nothing is "stir fried," but that's not the problem - it's flavorless and the only thing that is vegan are some shredded carrots from Costco and a few chopped up broccoli stems. The beer menu is OK - but a far cry from the amazing tap list at Hearth. Sadly, all in, this place squanders its incredible potential with bland, consistently disappointing dishes. read more

Great diverse menu. Tried the nachos, pizza, and scallops! Sooo good. Washed down with some Pinot Noir. Super Decor as well.

I had no interest in trying this place at first, but my wife surprised me for my birthday on the 15th. She was gung ho about wanting to try the nachos. Not only did we order nachos, but also a gyro pizza, and bison sliders. All of it was scrumptious to the last bite. The chairs were a bit uncomfortable, but the ambiance was great, and they gave me a free dessert for my birthday! P.S. The more comfy chairs are in the upstairs section. You can wait or make a reservation if that's an issue for you. read more

It's been a while, (8yrs to be exact), since I've dined here. Rustic Goat undoubtedly has the best building, in the best location. I still need to check the patio out during warmer months. Parking can be hard to come by, as this visit we had to park in the overflow lot across the street. Our hostess, who also ended up being our server, wasn't very friendly, although she was accommodating. We sat upstairs where you're truly able to appreciate the craftsmanship and ambiance of the building. We were unable to find something on tap that we liked. We ordered the Passion Fruit Hefe in bottles. They came chilled with beer glasses. They were so crisp and perfect. We each had the grilled romaine salad with blue cheese and bacon jam that initially looked small, but was very tasty and filling. We also got the potatoe, leeks, and sausage pizza. I thought it was unique In flavor, but on the expensive side for its size. To end our meal we had a pumpkin-pie-in-mason-jar dessert, that was delicious. read more

Same as every other restaurant in anchorage right now Rustic Goat is doing the best they can with what seems like busy restaurants and limited staffing. Service and food might take a bit longer but the food is great. I've enjoyed just about everything I've tried here, with a shining favorite being the nachos to start (candied jalapeños really shine in this dish) and a great selection of unique pizza (leek and potato a shocking favorite, who knew you could put potato on pizza?!) I was a bit let down by drink selection and was unsatisfied with sangria, it seemed very watered down. All in all, Great spot to try out in anchorage read more

We really like this place. It's especially fun if you can sit upstairs. The view up there is lovely. I've shared the Nachos with a friend a couple times. It's a lot of food and delicious. This is a good place to enjoy lunch with a friend. Their homemade chips are yummy but a bit on the greasy side. This place has burgers and comfort food. Love it! read more

Absolutely amazing experience. Modern yet cozy and comfortable. Gorgeous views especially if you sit upstairs. Food was innovative, unique and had lots of character. Really appreciated having vegetarian options that were well thought out and given just as much thought and attention as the meat dishes. Our server, Courtney, was a total delight and we just loved her. We can't wait to come back! read more

Fabulous food, the scallops my hubs had were delicious & the beef tenderloins I had were so tender and flavorful. Our waitperson was a little soft spoken & couldn't hear. But made it through with very attentive service. Very neat place & ambiance. read more
