Talkeetna which is rumored to be the town Molly of Denali's Qyah is modeled after is the perfect place to stop between Denali Area and Anchorage and beyond. If you have time to drive into Downtown Talkeetna for lunch, do it. We chose Salmon Spot for everything salmon. We got the salmon burger, salmon cakes with dressing, and salmon chowder for lunch. My favorite was those salmon cakes as it wasn't heavy and left me enough room for the chowder. There is a couple of small tables right next to it that but the patio that is shared with other food trucks and the hotel was also open for us to enjoy our lunch. read more

We highly recommend this place! It is a food truck, a d unfortunately it was raining the day that we went. They do have a few covered tables sitting outside that we were able to snag. We ordered two orders of the crab cakes and a chowder bread bowl. The crab cakes were really good but kind of small. We did ask for no sauce on one of the salmon cakes and it came out with it, but they easily switched it back out. I really enjoyed the chowder and the bread bowl really gave it some extra substance. It didn't have huge chunks of meat in it, but it was very tasty. read more

I had the chowder and the salmon burger. The burger was actually scooped raw out of a container and grilled in front of me. It was phenomenal. My wife had the grilled salmon patty on salad also very good. The chowder was outstanding. I highly recommend this place prices.

Amazing service, food came out quick and was outstanding. We got three salmon burgers (fries were worth the extra cost), chowder in a cup, and chowder in a bread bowl. Everyone was happy with the burgers 10/10! The fries were nice and crispy, and we were able to get ketchup cups to go. The employees were very considerate and gave us the option of taking the bread bowl home to warm up so it wouldn't get soggy. The bread bowl made the chowder even better. My girlfriend likes to journal, and they looked for a flyer to give her when she asked, which was nice. read more

We stopped in to get a quick salmon fix after a quick hike and loved our burger! Quick service and the chef recommended putting pepper and Sriracha on it (which we did and it tasted amazing - plus some potato chips for extra crunch)! The flavor of the burger is so good and all the components (spinach, bell pepper, teriyaki, Mayo, etc) elevate it nicely! This was the perfect quick bite and we would definitely recommend! read more

For a refreshing, light and delicious meal, The Salmon Spot is definitely a must-have. We stopped by Talkeetna during a weeklong trip and I have to say this was one of the best meals we've had. The owner told us they came from Juneau and things have been slow so I'm telling everyone to check this place out. It is so worth it! We ordered a salmon burger and the salmon salad. The salmon patties were excellent. The flavors of the miso dressing on the salad and the burger sauce blended perfectly. It was so fresh and flavorful! I seriously was so happy after this meal. Cost: very affordable, especially compared to other places we've been to in Alaska! Lots of free seating in the beer garden to the right of the food truck :) read more

This is a little food stand tucked among some other restaurants and stands in Talkeetna. Do not pass this one by! The service was super quick--he had it ready in about 3 minutes after ordering. I only tried the salmon cakes, but I imagine all of their other menu items are just as good! The salmon cakes were made with silver salmon (and least this time of year), and topped with a maple glaze with other seasonings and spices. They are absolutely delicious.

Grabbed the salmon cakes before going into the beer garden directly behind the Salmon Spot. The salmon cakes are served on a bed of fresh spinach with lemon. They're not made with much filler like breadcrumbs or potato flakes so the salmon really shines. They just have counter service but they were friendly enough. Skip the french fries; they were bland even with ketchup. But go try out the salmon cakes! read more

We were pleasantly surprised however when we visited the Kahiltna Bistro. We spent the day fishing for salmon and caught a bunch, when one of our guides suggested that we take some to town and get then cooked up for dinner that day--sounded great (and was!) He took us to KB, we dropped off the fillets and made a reservation. When we arrived we ordered some apps from a menu that looked pretty interesting. Ended up with the crab cakes, guac and chips. The crab cakes were decent, but the guac was a miss--was pretty much just avocado and tomato. Then we got to the entree--our fish. It was beautifully cooked in an Asian style, sauced, and served on a bed of (jasmine?) rice with Julianned veg. Wonderful! And so fresh of course!! 1 fillet for each of us, $18-PLEANTY of food! Dessert was to follow and we opted for the White Chocolate Creme Brulee, Berry Cobbler w/ice cream and Chocolate Lava Cake w/ice cream. The Lava Cake took the gold medal and we were basically fighting over who would lick the plate! The cobbler was very good and unusual with the mixture of cherries, rhubarb and other berries. The creme brûlée while good was a miss mostly due to the fact that they did not "brûlée" the top and opted to add a small sugar tuile instead which is just not the same and that wonderful crack you get breaking thru the normal crust. Our server was over-the-top perfect in every way and rounded out the best experience we had in town! We highly recommend this place and hope you all get to experience it just like we did

I organized an overnight camping trip JUST so i could have dinner at West Rib again, man, what a disappointment. Was the place always this run down, and shabby? Did the sun get in my eyes and blind me? Well anyway, so after me demanding we go to West Rib, yet seeing most other eateries in town absolutely BULGING with tourists, i was a little taken aback by the solo diner in the outside space at West Rib. Gamely i ploughed on with my choice, thinking "maybe i should have gone somewhere else" The server was a nice enough young girl, and she bowed each time she visited the table, and i have absolutely no issues with her - very polite and nice. When she brought the menu, i was shocked. I am sure, i am positive it used to be fatter, had many more choices, every other time I've been here. I distinctly remember a certain sauce or dip i used to order that had a funky name, and was sort of like a schmear but runnier. Now there's only a single page to order from. I wanted to leave. I honestly was on the verge of getting up and going. Anyway, I ordered the Stubbs Burger - hadn't realized he was the Mayor Cat dude, nor that the burger was named after him. Husband ordered the special which was a Brisket Sandwich, and some Jalapeno Poppers to start. The food was fairly fast to come out, and the Poppers were hot, and came with a cool, creamy sauce, maybe ranch? They were ok, taste like every other Jalapeno Popper I've had, I'm not that keen on them to be honest. Then the entrees came out very quickly after that, so i just got started on my burger. Well - see I've been off potatoes in all their glorious forms since February, but these beer-battered fries looked so appetizing, that i grabbed a handful and distributed them evenly across my burger. And i must say - the burger was perfect. I like a well-done, no-pink burger. This was absolutely exactly how i would have asked for it to be cooked if given the choice, i had to take off the onion and the tomato off (they give me stomachache) but of course the 10 fries i put in there filled the gap nicely. And the cheese was oozing very beautifully and dripping out of the bottom. It was gorgeous. He said his Brisket Sandwich was really good too, so despite the place's shabby, and rundown appearance, and slimmer menu - what they cook, they do it very well. I did hear disquieting rumours regarding West Rib, from people around town when i said i was going there for dinner, so whatever they've done, has gotten them a bad reputation in town, which is quite sad really. It holds fond memories for me, due to it being one of the first places my husband took me when we weren't married yet, and i hadn't moved here.

I can't recommend this place anymore. They say they will be open when you talk to them (in person-…read morethey also run tbe grocery store), then they aren't.
