    Keep coming and trying new things, I have been impressed! The staff here is super friendly and they know about the brand, the hearty list of beers they have, and the food. I finally got to try the Kase spatzel! I would definitely get it again but I would need to share. Towards the end it gets pretty rich. The beer selection is one of the best, all local beers. They don't have some from every brewery though. Burgers and cheesesteak are good, the crispy pork belly was good, kase spatzel, they have different flavored fries too.

    Happy to come again! I am honestly just very impressed with everything each time. Came last night for dinner and had an amazing time. We haven't had a bad meal here yet. The prices for food are honestly pretty reasonable considering you're paying the downtown premium but you're getting high-quality food. I know it's not called mac & cheese but it's gone well it looks like it and tastes delicious The burgers are fantastic. Their duck fat fries are delicious. The server we had was fantastic and took care of us. He had some great recommendations and did an amazing job keeping up on us. Place was clean and well kept it was a little quiet last night but we were happy to have a place that's actually open on a Monday night seems to be a rare thing nowadays in Anchorage.

    If this is the only meal you have time for in Anchorage make sure this is the place you stop at. Off of the main strip in Downtown, but if you're looking a a hearty and filling meal look no further. The short rib poutine was amazing the tenderness of the short rib and the savory gravy with the duck fat fries make you keep reaching for more. So throw a dart at the menu, you can't go wrong just look at all the food in the pictures. Beautifully presented with great flavor. The ambiance is a modern rustic feel to it. And the service is warm and inviting. Grabbing a beer and some food from here rejuvenated us after multiple traveling days.

    This restaurant is suffering from an identity crisis - you just don't know what you're getting, everything from the aesthetic to the food offerings. Is it a traditional tap house? Is it Asian fusion? or standard pub fare? There were 9 of us and while we were sat pretty quickly as we had reservations, it took a while to order. We ordered the poutine as a starter. It never came out - our entrees were served. I had inquired about the poutine and she said someone forgot it. Then several minutes later she came out with the poutine, which had been sitting under the warmer and said it someone did make it if we wanted it. This was after everyone had already eaten half of their dinner. I said NO as it was almost likely luke warm by now. You'd think she just would've served it and comped it since it was her mistake. I ordered the steak salad and the portion and flavor were good. The charred whole green onions are a messy plating - I'd remove that. The risotto was a bit too rich for my daughter's taste. The burgers and fries were probably the best entree that came out to the table (which several people ordered). The truffle fries were delicious but the garlic fries were a let down. We ordered one of each dessert and were hoping this would redeem the meal experience. Fell flat again - I swear two of the cakes were the same but with a different topping. The creme brûlée was under and gritty. Meal and staff were just ok.

    While in downtown Anchorage for a day, I was told that I should check this place out. We went for a late lunch/early dinner. The inside seating is limited. We did get to sit at the bar. It wasn't too busy so we were seated right away. The bartender was excellent. She grabbed menus for us right away and took our drink order as soon as we were ready. I decided on the fish and chips. You do get to choose your fries. I had the Parmesan truffle which were delicious. The fish is halibut. It had a good batter and it is not too thick. They do not have regular tartar sauce. They have a raspberry tartar sauce. I was not a big fan of it. It does come with coleslaw, but it is probably like 2 tablespoons of coleslaw. I did not try their beers. I had a glass of Pinot Grigio Instead. The menu is has a little bit of everything. They also have off menu specials. I did ask about the crab legs and they were about $100 for the pound. They have inside and outside seating. This restaurant is located downtown, so you will probably have to pay for parking. On weekdays after a certain time, the meters are free.

    We stopped here as part of a food tour and really enjoyed the atmosphere and the beer. The story of the history of the taphouse was very interesting. Our server was great. We had a tasting flight for the beer and liked it all.

    Halibut Alaskana
    Ryan Y.

    Definitely highlight of my food experiences in Alaska. Location is decent sized and is located on the outskirts of the mall downtown. There is ample seating and bar seating. There are both brews and wines for drinking, and flight options for those wanting to try multiple. Service was good- the waitress was helpful in making decisions regarding food and beer based on flavor profile. The Halibut Alaskana was excellent. It was incredibly flavorful and had a number of the ingredients that I typically like- fresh veggies, cheese, garlic (lots) and a flavorful fish. I kept scarfing it down and was so incredibly full and satisfied. Beware for garlic breath post-meal Loved this spot, and wish I could bring my wife here to try this fish!!

    Margarita flight

    Food was great, little pricy but worth it. This restaurant is downtown right by the mall so there's plenty to see through the large windows. They had a nice bar area with a tv for entertainment. Food did not take long to come out and our server made sure to check on us. Would have given 5 stars but the glass bottle used to pour yourself water had flakes floating in it. Not sure if the bottles are refilled with tap water or not. 9/10, would certainly eat here again.

    Mimosa Flight - so good!
    Lindsey P.

    It had been a while since I went to Tent City but found myself downtown, so I stopped in. They were busy but I was still able to get seated right away. I finally got to try the mimosa flight, which was great. I got the French dip and thought it was amazing! Flavorful, cheesy, and creamy with the perfect amount of horseradish aioli. I would definitely get it again! My husband got the halibut and chips but couldn't have the fries, so they subbed carrots at no charge. I tried a bite and thought it was really good. It had more flavor than fish and chips from other places in town. Overall, we were very happy and will go back soon!

    Classic Cheeseburger
    Victoria L.

    Good Presentation from Yelp is why we wanted roc heck this place out. Unfortunately the food was not well done. We ordered the sleeping lady salad and the cheese burger with a veggie patty. The meat on the salad was not a good cut. It was super fatty and not cooked well. The cheese burger was bland. I will say the fries were great and they were able to make it vegetarian. The server was nice but they could use 2 servers for their floor.

    Wild Salmon special
    Nathan D.

    Small | Price | wild salmon Small - right away the major issue I saw this that the location is pretty small. There is only about 50 seats in the entire restaurant. Therefore, it is important for you to have a reservation during peak hours. However it isn't noisy which is a plus. I had dinner with a friend and her husband and we were able to have a nice conversation. Price - the price point is relatively higher than others in anchorage. The food quality to price ratio is pretty good however. So, it is worth the 10-15% higher price point. The meals aren't large but they are filling if you have a standard appetite. Wild Salmon - I had the wild salmon special. It was delicious. It came with season veggies and was delivered on top of a mash potato bed. It was a 10-12 ounce piece of salmon which essentially seasoned to perfection. Would highly recommend. Pro tip: there is a good amount of street parking and a public parking lot within 1 block of the location. Therefore, you don't need to add time to your travel schedule. Pro tip: they have 24 beers on tap that are local and rotate. Therefore, it's a nice spot to try out multiple local beers. Pro tip: they have beer and mimosa flights. So, you can sample a bunch of items on their menu for a relatively low cost.

    After I started bc it smell too good!!
    Tamia L.

    Late night hunger satisfied with a call in order right before they closed! So gracious in taking my order without hesitation! Literally arrived to pickup my burger and fries before closing! Nice looking bar in downtown! Smelled the delicious, juicy cheese burger and garlic/cilantro duck fat fries! Yep smelled delicious and was right on the money! Them fries had most unique tastes.. real fries.. with plenty of flavor! Thanks for being so good especially when your late night craving is specific!

    mimosa flight
    Aminah C.

    I have lived in Anchorage for 4 years now and I have eaten at Tentcity Taphouse too many times to count. This is by far my favorite restaurant in the city, for multiple reasons. The staff is always extremely friendly, the environment is consistent, it's a nice place to bring out of town visitors and most importantly the food is really really good. Now I have to admit, I always order the same exact thing, but guests have ordered different menu items and haven't had any complaints. My menu favorites are the duck fries (truffle parmesan), the wings (w/ blueberry and Tennessee hot on the side) and the artic cioppino. All of these items are seasoned to perfection and I highly recommend. Lastly, I always get the mimosa flight which is perfect pairing for these dishes. Highly recommend.

    This place was fine. Decent beer, atmosphere, and service. Being kind of a brewery afficionado, I'd say it was good but not great.

    I've been a loyal customer since 49th State Brewing opened in Anchorage back in 2016, and I have so…read moremany great memories connected to this brewery. I was really excited to hear about the opening of The Rail and couldn't wait to check it out. The indoor seating was smaller than I expected, but the interior design is even nicer than the restaurant and has a very relaxing feel. As for the beer, I have no complaints at all. Their beer is still some of my favorite to this day. I honestly wish they could somehow sell it in other states so I could grab some whenever I feel homesick. I also feel like this space has a lot of potential for small gatherings, farmers markets, block parties, or even little concerts. We'll see what they do with it over time. Overall, I'm so glad to see this business continue to thrive throughout the years.

    Happy to have finally check this place out! It is a little tucked away past the railroad station…read more Nice inside seating with four long tables and a bar for seating, all with tall bar stools for seats. The menu for food is small. They have two apps, some sweet treats and some sandwiches made on flatbread. We got the sandwich with fried tofu and it was just ok. The soft pretzel was pretty good, the cheese just ok. Don't remember if it's the same pretzel as the other 49th restaurant or not. The beer list is expansive, with beers 49th state brewing is testing out, no beers from other breweries. They have a QR code to scan to see the list and they project it on the wall. We got flights to try different beers. They had a few chocolate and coffee stouts. I tried the Mexican stout and it did not have any hint of cinnamon in it like was described. Also tried the apple cider donut beer. The more I drank it the more overly sweet it was. Happy to try different beers and we enjoyed the atmosphere. The guy working, I think his name was Richard. He was great taking care of everyone and being the only one to hold down the entire room. Great place if you want to try some beers and dont want to deal with the hustle and bustle of 49th state brewing up the road.

    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!

    Stopped in for lunch between our cruise drop off and flight departure…read more The place was hopping on a Monday afternoon (Memorial Day). It was "seat yourself," and we found a two top. The servers seemed a little new, but the service was good and friendly. They carry Frontier brand sodas which we found to be excellent for their flavor. We got root beer and ripe raspberry soda. I ordered the Chili AK Salmon Bowl which our server confirmed is wild salmon. My wife ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich with fries. Both meals were really good. I especially liked the sauce on the salmon bowl so much so that I asked for a little more only to be charged for the extra sauce. I also noticed they include a service charge on the bill (note that this was not gratuity). They told us it was to help them get seasonal labor and to cover overhead. Maybe this is an Alaska thing, but with menu prices as high as these, why would you need to add a service charge? Pricing and nickel & diming aside, I would recommend this place.
