Very soft, soggy, greasy batter
Carrie G.

This place is a hot mess. They have unique drinks and some food items, where else can you get pickle fries?! Unpopular opinion is you are better off using the app. It just annoys me that they can do half price drinks in the app but that isn't a thing when you just drive up and order. Like why?! Same with the grocery stores, making you use an app if you want anything good. I get why this is popular in places where it's hot because the drinks are where it's at. (As long as they make them correctly which they definitely have not in the past.) I got a limeade slush for half price in the app, pickle fries, and $1 pretzel stick (also app deal) both pretzels were very dense and a bit undercooked. cheese was fine. The pickle fries were not crispy at all, but everything was very hot. I would not pay four dollars for a small pickle. The batter was very soggy. It's like they were so hot because they microwaved them. I ordered in the app then you drive into a stall to order. The lobby was closed. It has been closed as far as I know except when it first opened and that was a hot mess as well. Nobody was in the drive thru. This time my order took 15 minutes. There was one kid running out the orders, literally, he was literally running after he gave you your food. Car after car.

October 14th, 2024.  "Large fry" at Sonics price through. Seriously?? Did they eat some before they handed it to me?

October 14, 2024 I bought the #2 burger meal with large fry and this is what I saw when I arrived home....

Second Reese's blast.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. I ordered a drink for myself, and a Reese's sonic blast for my husband. As soon as we pulled away he asked me to try his blast because it tasted weird. I tried it and it legit tasted like an ashtray. Like someone dumped the Reese's with cigarette ash and mixed it or something. We brought it back and told them it tasted like an ashtray. They re-made it and guess what? Still tastes like ashtray. Did someone dump an ashtray in the ice cream machine or something? This is the worst sonic I have ever been too and I never want to come here again. If that's what the blast tastes like IMAGINE what it looks like back there. Makes me want to barf just thinking about it. Waste of money and time.

Supposed to open until 11pm, arrived during the week of their grand opening at 7:58 and were turned away due to them being "short staffed." Not sure why they would have opened the business if they didnt have a staff fully trained yet. The only positive thing I can say is they had someone directing traffic so you don't wait in traffic unnecessarily.

I ordered a chill dog, because I love their hotdogs in the lower 48. The hotdog was warm, not cooked enough and no taste.

Yak burger anyone??? I was in beautiful Anchorage and…read morewanted to grab some lunch. 49th state brewing was perfect because it wasn't far from my hotel and because it was so cold outside, I didn't want my walk to exceed 15 minutes. I was really hungry so I got there right when they opened at 11 a.m. I was able to be seated immediately and opted to sit upstairs where the tables were lower as compared to downstairs where the tables were high tops. Off the bat the food is phenomenal. For starters I got their popular handmade Bavarian pretzel. It was perfectly seasoned with butter and salt and the pretzel itself was soft and fluffy. It came with a side of cheese which was just as tasty. I was a little nervous it would taste like the melted cheese you eat at an amusement park- but this cheese had fantastic quality. One really neat thing about this brewery is they make their own fountain drinks! I tried the raspberry one and as you can see they aren't shy about the portions! The drink was really good. It had a great flavor to it, and a nice balance. The raspberry wasn't overpowering which I'm grateful for. For my entree I had the Yak burger that came with a side of tater tots. My waiter recommended I get it cooked at medium to keep it juicy. Typically I'm a medium well to well done type of girl, but I decided to trust his judgement and he was right! The burger was huge, messy, and delicious. The medium was definitely a good call. It was juicy but not so red where it would be off putting! Overall, I had a really incredible dining experience at 49th state brewing. And the prices were unbelievably reasonable. My meal came out to about $52 (not including my tip). I would love to come back when it's a bit warmer and sit outside- the views from the restaurant are phenomenal. Also, shout out to my waiter! I didn't get his name but he was so kind and the service was excellent!

The place is always busy and the food is always good…read more HOWEVER you really need to check your itemized receipt before paying. I calculated our meal cost before paying and it was around $5 higher on the bill presented than what it was listed on the menu. I also was paying cash so it shouldn't have been any kind of extra card fee. I have reached out to the company, but no response yet. Depending on their response will depend on if I'm a returning customer

I love Wee B's. They are without a doubt the best burger in town. Best chicken sandwich in Alaska…read more If you're going for "fast" fastfood then go elsewhere. I like to think of this food as a burger place with a drive thru, but not a fastfood place. There's a pretty good wait to get food from the drive thru that it's probably faster to go inside and eat. That said, everything tastes fresh, and piping hot. It'd be difficult to find a better burger bun because they make theirs in house and the taste is evident. For all American style burgers, fries and shakes with an Alaskan spin, this is the place.

Tough spot to rate. Maybe 3.5? Here's the thing, the food tastes good at the end of the day. But is…read moreit worth sitting and waiting 10 minutes at the box to order and another 10 minutes to get your order? That's for you to decide. If you have the patience and the time in the day, I'd say go for it. They provide a pretty good classic burger and fries/cheese fries or onion rings are all done well. If you're trying to get a quick bite, in and out of the drive through in under five minutes in standard fast food fashion, all with smiling employees....id recommend you go elsewhere. You're going here when you have time to kill, no rush in your day and just want a good old fashion burger. Simply set your expectations for the slow roll and you won't be disappointed with the product of food you are provided with.

After perusing the few tables that had people eating burgers, decided to go with the wrap option, not wanting a loaf of bread surrounding my burger! Got the keto wrap, it had bacon and an egg, they must be pushing it or it's new, since it was cheaper than the wrap without all the extra protein. Either that or common sense took a vacation from the cold in Anchorage. Cashier was very helpful despite my clown like behavior. KETO Burger!!! Very pleasing to the eye, wrapped in a generous amount of crunchy iceberg,boom, could have used more sauce, but I'm a sauce kind of clown, plenty to get from the condiment bar. Nice crunchy bacon, boom, she said mustard was absent had to get my own. Over all not bad, certainly not the best in Anchorage like a previous reviewer, that was obviously may or may not be connected to the restaurant .... Hmm what am I some kind of a clown? A few tips to improve the burger, add on the tomato pickles and onions. Also burn a brand into the lettuce like the buns, would be way cool. And don't be afraid to sauce it up, some of us Keto types need a lot of taste to combat the boring taste of iceberg. Take heed, the clown has spoken,

They've got a solid variety of Alaska brews on tap, way more than your average spot, so it's easy to try something new or stick with a favorite.

It features a blend of barstool window seats, barstool bar seats, high-top tables, and standard-height tables. We went for a very late lunch, which made the quick food delivery and yet under-attentive service a little perplexing. Having spent last summer in London, the attraction at TCT for us was comparing and contrasting Alaska Halibut Fish & Chips with the British fare. I wanted to like the Tent City offering; I really did not. For the price ($28/ea), we got three modest pieces of fish and the equivalent of two servings of chips. Both the fish and the chips were mushy (undercooked), with a heavy batter finish in contrast with the light and crisp British offering. The accompanying tarter sauce was an odd raspberry-and-blackberry concoction that my family and I called a pickle aftertaste. The presentation, for the price and the atmosphere, was a confusing combination of a metal basket lined with wax paper (like a 1950's drive-through), plastic water and soda glasses (like a college cafeteria), and real silverware. Other reviews have high praise for TCT so, on our next visit to Alaska, it will be good to give them another try. The bones of this establishment are in place for a really special experience, but, today, for me, it was just "ok."

Nothing but AMAZING…read more... From the outside, the place and neighborhood we were a little worried being from out of town. We were happily greeted and shown our booth. Once our server, Nicole, came we asked her a few questions about the menu which she answered and made her recommendations. Once our apps were brought out, she brought us a small strawberry orio shake to welcome us in for the first time. -The cheese curds, A+ soft, great batter. -Cup of chili with cheese. B+. The only critique of the evening is the hamburger was not seasoned. There was huge chunks of burger in the chili, which is great but if the meat would have had more seasoning it would have tasted better. -fried chicken is out of this world. Skin was slap your momma one time and once you bite into the meat, the chicken is so juicy it makes you want to slap your moms twice. I have never and I hope my mom and grandma don't read this but I have never had fried chicken this good. I thought I had good fried chicken frowning up in the South. -mushroom Swiss burger, burger is 1/4 lb and not the supposedly 1/4 lb like MCDs tries to pass off. This guy was huge. I asked for extra pickles and this is the the first place that instead of throwing 2-3 extra pickles on, they put a row of pickles on each side of the beef.
