Ok, soooo everyone that knows me knows I am brutally honest. So understand that this is a…read morecompletely fair and honest review. My sister, my niece, and I ordered from here for the first time and we got the pork ribs, cheeseburger, hotdogs, baked beans, macaroni salad, and potato salad. The only problem was the hotdog just way too small to be worth $9.50, even if it comes with a small bag of chips. But, the flavor was freaking amazing! It tasted exactly like a barbecued hotdog should. It was totally worth it for me this time because she's amazing and is very generous! But as a regular basis thing, I'd go for it if money was no issue for me lol. Times are hard and inflation is high, so I get the higher prices, but I gotta watch me walket too. That's it. Only complaint lol. Otherwise is was freaking great! The sides were really good and flavorful. The macaroni salad was the most flavorful Ive ever purchased, as they are usually pretty bland. But all other macaroni salad has been trash compared to theirs lol. The potato salad was really good and the beans were super yummy! The hamburger was pretty good, lots of cheese, but we had to do some surprise errands and the box bounced around. We didn't get to eat until an hour later, so it soaked up all the juice from the pickle and was soggy with the juices of everything else by the time we got to it. Our fault, and it was still pretty good lol. But the ribs... My gracious. They were AMAZING! One of the reviews said they were dry and with lots of fat but I find that impossible. True, they weren't smothered in BBQ sauce in every crevice but even the non-covered parts were outrageously flavorful and perfectly moist. Maybe that person just doesn't normally eat pork ribs? There is bound to be some fat but on all of the many ribs we got, there was plenty of meat and the fat was minimal, and I was thankful lol. I hate a lot of fat, and it just wasn't anying more than normal pork ribs would have. But they definitely tasted better than normal lol. Just phenomenal! I'd spend my last $20 on that lol. But I, personally, would ask for extra BBQ sauce. Not because they are stingy with it or anything, I just.... I don't eat my food with some sauce, I eat my sauce with some food. I hate dry food lol. Which is why I can confidently say their ribs are not dry by any means! My sister and niece thought they were perfect, and my sister didn't want any ribs when I ordered lol. And most importantly, they are so super nice, and very generous! Very personable and great with communication. If the customer service isn't good, then it doesn't matter how good the food is and they certainly deliver in that, as well. Just an all in all fantastic experience. 5/5 stars. Would definitely recommend! *Update* I just had the left overs for dinner and it was still delicious the next day!

Some people may really enjoy them tho. I enjoyed the beans, good spice. They were busy so worth checking out and testing for yourself.

Best BBQ in Anchorage, ya'll!…read more I decided to try this spot after Sharin F's glowing review. Check their FB page to find out where they are. Right now, the best places to find them are: Thursdays at the Spenard Food Truck Carnival: https://www.yelp.com/biz/spenard-food-truck-carnival-anchorage-2 Weekends at Anchorage Market: https://www.yelp.com/biz/anchorage-market-and-festival-anchorage I got the combo plate with brisket and pulled pork combo plate. The brisket was moist and fatty. It had huge chunks of fat, AS IT SHOULD. If you don't like fatty brisket, you dont' like brisket. Please stick to that tough, dry stuff that tastes like beef jerky from the gas station that ya'll call "brisket". The pulled pork was nicely smokey and charred, and not overly sweet! So much of the pulled pork in this town is over honeyed/corn-syrup'd/glazed/etc. It came with crinkle fries and coleslaw. The slaw was a brilliant mix of sweet and zesty flavors, loved it. For $20, it was a tiny bit on the high side, but ultimately well worth the cost! The service was funny and friendly, some of the best I've had in Anchorage. I will be back!

The food here is amazing. The customer service is even better. We just happened to be leaving…read moreCostco and spotted the truck in the parking lot. I checked out the website on the side of the truck and asked for a business card. I had an appointment to get to and groceries to drop off, but I figured I'd stop back by for lunch. We ended up grabbing the kids some po boys sandwiches to hold them over. The food smelled so good!! It's all I could think about my whole appointment. We stopped back by after and ordered the Denali Fries, Jambalaya, and a blackened catfish po boy. Yes, blackened catfish. I was also very skeptical. I must admit I was surprised at how amazing everything tasted. The blackened catfish sandwich was really good. The bread they use is so soft and chewy. The fish is flavorful and moist! The coleslaw it came with wasn't saturated in mayonnaise. It's was just the perfect dish. It was so filling I didn't eat the coleslaw. The portion to price ratio is perfect!! The jambalaya was soooooooo good. Drool worthy good. Rice cooked perfectly. Flavor on point! Right amount of heat. Full of veggies and meat. Just phenomenal. The Denali fries were probably the most fulfilling and surprising entree. I thought it would be a side of fries just loaded up. No! It's the whole container! Loaded with perfectly cooked fries, cheese, meat, jalapeños, and bbq sauce. Every single fry was loaded up. I low key felt guilty ordering them because I only ordered them so I didn't have to share my food with the kids if they were peckish. No one finished them. I highly recommend the Denali fries if you're super duper hungry. Even if you're sharing. There's a lot of bang for your buck there. A lot goes into the pulled pork on top. And for all of us environmentally conscious people out there, they use 100% composting containers. The containers turn to soil within 90 days. There's literally no waste. The service was a 10 out of 10. Can't beat it. Very personable, knowledgeable, and nice. Super upbeat and fun. I recommend this food truck. If you see it be sure to stop. They also have a Facebook you can check to see where they are any given day and what time. It's a must try. Drooling just writing this.

We were promptly greeted and seated. The restaurant was super clean and the exhaust fans were the best. They were also very keen on replacing a crisping grill plate as often as it was needed. Our hostess was also our server and she was so nice plus plenty of other servers checked in on us plenty. I think for two people and a child it was very reasonable in price. Maybe under $120 before tip including a soda and a few appetizers. The portions here are big as far as meat goes. And unlike other Korean bbq I've had, they kind of have you dump the meat on the grill and take the plate with them. It felt different but I have no issues with that. Towards the end I was stuffed and I think I'd recommend ordering maybe half an order of meat for the last round if you're not famished. My favorite dish was definitely the cheese corn really because I love esquites. My husband was a big fan of the japchae which was also worth getting. My three year old picky daughter enjoyed the pork belly and plain rice. This is definitely somewhere I'd come back to. They had great quality food and plenty of sides for me to chow down on.

This is an interesting spot. The original location was a victim of an arson fire so, they ended up…read morein this spot. This restaurant has played host to Chris Rock, Cedric The Entertainer, Rosa Parks, Snoop Dogg, Danny Glover and Sinbad (the comedian, not the pirate). This is where all the cool people go while they are in Anchorage. The restaurant is co-located with Tropical Latin Food. It is right next to the small Speedway gas station. It is not the best of locations. It has a few parking spots available that it shares with the other businesses in the strip mall that it is in. The outside of the spot is kind of dingy, and the inside was not the cleanest either. They were cleaning up when I got there though. So, the dining room area was closed and all the tables and chairs were pushed to the side as the mopped the floor. They do not have any menu available or a menu board. If you want to know what they have, you have to pull up the menu on your cellular device by going to their website. There is no QR code either. The staff their was friendly and helpful. I ordered the chicken dinner with yams and collard greens. The chicken was made fresh, so it took about 30 minutes to get my order. They just took my number and called me when it was ready. I am glad that my food was made fresh, because the food that they had on the line was scary looking. It had definitely been there for awhile. I would recommend getting your drinks from the Speedway next door. They have a better selection and are a bit cheaper. My meal was delicious. The chicken was tasty, hot and fresh. The collards and yams, even though not the best that I have had, were tasty as well. The chicken though was up there with the best I have had. This is a decent place to get your Alaskan soul food. I wish that the location was a little better though. I was teetering between a 3 and 4 star ratting, but the food tipped it to a 4. Definitely worth visiting and getting some of your hard earned dollar.

Best Soulfood in Anchorage...period!!! We were a running group of 200+ from across the country and…read moreover a course of about 5hrs as we came and went, Mr Roscoe and staff handled us like a champ for those that were ordering food. He opened his doors to us on Father's day as well. We are so appreciative that we had a place to gather and eat good food.
