This is one of the greatest restaurants on the planet! I lived in Anchorage for six and a half years. There is no place like this anywhere. If you find yourself in Anchorage, you must go to Gwennies.

Husband got a burger that was flat and underwhelming, accompanied with very flat, thin and not so fresh bread. The avocado on it was under ripe and pretty hard. I got the vegetarian omelette that was very so, so. Cheese wasn't included even for the vegetarian option. Fries were not bad, but also not great. They were crispy. Coffee was very mediocre as well. It was quite bitter and not that smooth. Vibes were cozy and homey. Service was sub par. We were seated and not even given a menu.

Corned Beef hash. My family orders this no other place in the US, not New York or Shipiro in California. The mixture of the smashed potato and the freshly food beef is really something. Fresh soups everyday-beef barley-chowder-5 bean, etc. Probably 10 different sandwiches -Rubens, BLTs and I do not know who is supplying the breads -the swirled marble rye is really good. I thought what kind of steak would you get here...not sure...you might like it. The owner makes fresh cookies and pies every other night because they disappear. The most unusual thing I have seen there is the French Fry. It is a company secret were they get them. A small order will fill you up and they will make them with out salt. Great place.

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.

This is such a weird place. Its a place i desperately want to like. 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.

It definitely is a diner, and it definitely had a vibe that this was a local spot. We got our Famous Halibut Sandwich, and it didn't disappoint. It was delicious, the batter was light and crispy, the halibut was fresh and flaky, and all served in between some delectable sweet buns. They also served an assortment of drinks. We tried this mimosa sorbet thing that was surprisingly delicious. If you're in downtown Anchorage and need a quick bite and/or a quick drink, definitely stop by. I don't think it'll disappoint.

We selected the protein to be Reindeer Sausage, because...well, WE ARE in Anchorage after all! The service was prompt and efficient even though the dining room was relatively busy. This place is like a late sixties all American diner plopped down in the middle of town in 2026! Really a cordial place. I would normally score this a 5 star but frankly, I was disappointed in the meal presentation. There was only the bare naked sandwich on the plate. There simply should be at least some nominal garnish to add to the plate to make it complete.

Didn't matter. Carolyn had the ham and cheese croissant. The same, good ingredients well prepared. Small cafe with counter ordering and delivery to table.

The gentleman who to took the order also did the coffees, cooking and table service, as a result he lost our order and had to scramble to get it out to us. In spite of that...we will return.

We returned two days later before our trip home and tried the breakfast burritos. Also fantastic! Prices are a bit high for breakfast but the portions are huge and you will want to finish all of it because it tastes so good. Absolutely worth the money.
