    Greek chicken
    Nathan B.

    Trivia: Agaricus bisporus is a species of what three types of mushrooms? This place is so high level. Just wow. I was not prepared for the salad bar layout and selection. So many delicious options. I don't think Ive seen the likes of it since the old school Ponderosa/Golden Corral/Sweet Tomatoes salad bar days. The Greek chicken with a baked potato was out of this world as well. The mushrooms were plentiful and tasty. A generous helping of chicken mixed in. And the baked potato?! HUGE. Between that meal and the side salad, I had dinner and lunch the next day. Service was great. They are juggling all the things. Cleaning, takeout orders and even their kids. So impressed.

    Chicken bacon ranch sandwich

    I was so excited to see all the various toppings they had at their salad bar. It was salad heaven for me. We both got sandwiches and shared a lemon chicken soup, which definitely hit the spot on a somewhat soggy day. I found the prices more than reasonable and would love to visit again someday.

    Yes 100 times yes!! If you like a great salad bar, good soup and some down home cooking, Sophia's is the spot! Inside it's a very small cozy place so plan accordingly if you're a large group, It's also great for takeout or DoorDash. Service is good and you won't leave hungry. I love that they play country music inside, gives it that Americana feel.

    This is the French dip and BLT.

    Great food for the price and very filling. I only finished half of my sandwich, and my wife couldn't finish hers either. Everything had a lot of flavor. I had the French dip with clam chowder, and both were hearty and satisfying. My wife had the BLT with chicken and rice soup, which was also very hearty and delicious. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you want good portions and flavorful food.

    Super friendly folks in a homey atmosphere with delicious family recipes. The steak and eggs was perfectly seasoned and cooked perfectly. The scrambled eggs were moist and fluffy with some tasty homestyle potatoes. If you have the space in your gullet give their salad bar a whirl. All homemade dressings with a large assortment of veggies! So glad we found this spot down on Spenard.

    BLT

    Now I understand the hype! Sofias is a family-owned spot tucked in the corner of Minnesota and Spenard. We stopped in for lunch around the holiday season and sat at the bar. There were a ton of people coming in to pick up to-go orders but the woman at the front served every customer with ease, positivity and professionalism. I was really impressed. The food was excellent and portions were big. I opted for the avocado BLT with the salad bar option. I loved the variety of the salad bar and the homemade dressings. The ranch was a great complement to my BLT. My partner raved about the clam chowder. I wanted to share the wealth with my parents so I ended up purchasing a gift certificate for them as a Christmas gift. Prices are a bit high but worth it. We definitely plan to be back.

    Philly cheese steak, salad bar, and clam chowder

    Great food and amazing service. We ordered the Philly steak sandwich which came with a soup and salad bar. The sandwich and salad were great, the clam chowder was good as well. Everything came in very large portions. When we asked to order a soup and premade salad, the waiter let us know that the sandwich came with both, and that the salad bar was popular as it let you choose anything you want. Definitely saved us some money. We all got bottled water instead of tap which was great. The tables also have sea salt and pepper you can freshly grind yourself. The waiter asked if we wanted some horseradish sauce and dipping broth with the sandwich as well, and it was great. Made a bit of friendly conversation as well. The restaurant was nice, with some nice wooden tables and stools and an MV playing on a screen. Overall loved this place and would come again if we were in the area.

    What an amazing hidden gem!! The owners were super friendly and polite. We had the chicken noodle soup and French dip - hands down the best French dip we've ever had!! We also split the spaghetti bolognese. This is a huge portion which will be had for dinner also! The food is super delicious and clearly made from the heart! Solid hidden gem in town

    Bruddah Paul serving great food in Anchorage with a Hawaiian atmosphere

    OMG.. My wife and I flew several thousand miles from Honolulu to Anchorage and stumbled across this small little restaurant with BIG aloha as "Paul" provided the sense of 'ohana. The Gluten-free option was an ultimate plus and the out-of-this-world salad bar was crazy delicious. My wife had the BLT in "gf" bread and I had the run of the mill spaghetti with marinara sauce. NOTHING... I mean nothing was "run of the mill"... the food was super over-the-top 'ono (delicious), the service was warm and expedient, and the atmosphere made me feel like I was in a cozy restaurant in Hawaii with local "Jawaiian" music playing in the background. When they served in-house meals in take-out containers... I was a bit surprised, However, once you "attempt" to eat their generous portions.... you have an epicurial epiphany... the portions are so large, your gustatory gallop through the meal leaves a large portion of leftovers... so for your dining convenience, you merely close your take-out and carefully take it home and plan when next you will get to enjoy the rest of your tasty delight at home in your own gastric anticipation. Mahalo, Paul, for the awesome dining experience !! ~ Elena & Keahi (Kaimuki, Hawaii)

    "Comfort Food" is the perfect descriptor of this place! The portions are big, the food is hearty and filling. Picture a big family get together, now picture your relative that makes the tastiest dishes...that's what this place is like! The ambiance is pretty sparse and lacking, so if you want to sit down with a large group, this isn't the place. It seems like it's more geared for take-out orders, honestly. I ate in and sat at the bar, and the service was very fast and very friendly, I was impressed! This would be a great place to take your parents, or, if you're visiting our state, a great place to get some take-out to do a group dinner at your Air B&B before flying home the next day.

    Lamb gyro. Delicious.

    Is there anything I can eat? I am vegan.

    There's a great salad bar here. In my opinion, it's the best salad bar currently in Anchorage. They also do a Vegetarian Pizza.

    How to take some pictures and write a review since it's been months since anyone has. The Beartooth…read moretheater pub is the one place in Anchorage where you can get beer, margaritas (& more), pizza, popcorn, and other food while watching a movie. Watched a Japanese movie with subtitles, which was fun, but the other Theatre patrons were a little bit too serious about the movie. So you gotta pick your flick. Had the hot turkey sandwich - absolutely recommend, and nachos, which were delicious, but a bit awkward eating with our hands in a dark movie. Great place, great service, they keep it clean & chill, highly recommend.

    For over a decade, I lived a block from Besr Tooth. Honestly, I don't know how I took this…read morecommunity icon for granted. Its three distinct places in one building, a moderately fancy restaurant, a pizza and Mexican-American restaurant, and a Theater the plays amazing retro movies and presents topics of interest with the community, nation and world. Their pizza is not pizza. It is a realm of its own. As a girl from NJ, pizza is a conversation fighting point that can get violent. But I can tell you that what they make is totally unique ans delicious. There is something for almost everyone. I love 2 of their chicken pizzas- Spicy Thai (with peanut sauce) and Amazing Apricot (with Cilantro). They defy definition and are in a space all their own. The place is always SWAMPED with business because all 3 of their locations are wildly popular. My most recent visit with my adult children was not exception. As such, the service always leaves something to be desired. But the wait is worth it.
