    Wish we'd found this place yesterday - total gem! Great people, great food, great ambiance. Don't miss this place when you're in Anchorage; looks like the locals know about it and now we do, too!

    This place was recommended by our tour guide for the halibut sandwich! It's a perfect spot for tourists to enjoy fresh halibut.

    Halibut plate with onion rings (slight up charge for the swap out of FF but worth it)

    This place lives up to all the top reviews! The food was fabulous. We had the Halibut sandwich wi the fries and Halibut Plate with coleslaw and upped the fries to onion rings. So excellent! The fish is not greasy nor the fries or onion rings! You would think everything was air fried! They tell me it's not but they use separate oil fryers for fish versus the veggies. We also checked out a Cupid reindeer chili! Made me want to eat chili more. Reindeer meat not distinctive but eh come back and try the reindeer hash if you must. Reindeer typically super lean. Great chili and you can get it topped with cheese and onions. Great service! Super friendly and efficient! Seat yourself and follow their rules! They're posted. Walk up to the cash register to check out! I'm only here for two days and hope I make it there again tomorrow!

    Service was fast and friendly. Pick your own seats. I ordered a cheeseburger and I wasn't disappointed. The lettuce was nice a crunchy, crisp tomatoes, tasty pickles. The fries were delicious too natural cut fries love that! They, also have great old school music playing. Thank you to the cooks! Alaska knows how to make a good burger at this little spot downtown Anchorage. Small town feel if that is your cup of tea. Friendly vibes and welcoming. The name throws you off depending on the audience, however great place for a quick simple meal. I might have to try the halibut for lunch.

    Fast and friendly service. Love the atmosphere in there. Lots of Coke memorabilia. Food was great, will have to go back to try their famous halibut sandwich.

    Best cook ever!

    Incredible service from the moment we walked in. We were greeted by someone looking at us, not just arbitrarily calling out a greeting. Super clean, very homey. Old school style patty melt is off the chain! Housecut fries, perfection! The halibut sandwich is everything I wish and hope for. Not sloppy or wet, perfectly prepared. Again, the fries! The grill is right out in the open, the cooks carried on friendly conversation with diners while they worked. Our soda refills came quickly and without prompting. I imagine a group of old men meeting for morning coffee, laughing and busting up, being a regular scene. This place totally lives up to the hype, and is incredibly affordable. I can't wait to come again.

    Local cafe - good service - excellent breakfast! Another time I had lunch, it was reasonable and tasty! Recommended this place if downtown!

    Had the Halibut Sandwich with coleslaw. This place has the best coleslaw in Alaska. Coming from Oklahoma I have been disappointed by coleslaw in Alaska until today. Service was great. The halibut sandwich was delicious as well.

    Cheeseburger and fries

    Born and raised Alaskan and finally made it to the White Spot Cafe.. It didn't disappoint!! Cheeseburger and fries were great. Homemade fries are the best.. staff was friendly. Best part was we got parking right in front!!

    Fried Halibut platter with coleslaw and French fries.
    Wayne G.

    I finally tried this location based on a coworkers recommendation. My first choice was the halibut sandwich. I changed my mind and got the halibut platter. It was 3 pieces of fried halibut, coleslaw, and French fries with a sweet tea. Everything was on point. I see why this restaurant gets rave reviews. The staff is proud of their food that is prepared. The restaurant is clean and nicely laid out. Parking is available curbside or at a nearby parking lot. Cash/Credit/Debit are accepted here.

    Cozy 1950s diner. Halibut sandwich, cole slaw, and pickles were terrific. Great, friendly service.

    Local recommended greasy spoon type diner. Headed over for breakfast because of the recommendation…read more Great friendly service. Super fast breakfast. Loved the diner. Ambience was great.

    Breakfast at Heidi's always good but never great. I ate here while I was in town on business a…read moreyear ago and I just realized I didn't take any photos of rhe food?!?!?! Hahahahaha! Anyway, second time is the charm I guess. So the Halibut sandwich was good, flavor was good, the fish was tender and flaky, my server made a mistake and substituted the "American" cheese for Swiss but I loved it! LOL! Seriously made the sandwich taste better. I didn't eat the bun because to be brutally honest as I always am, the bun was of cheap, stale and poor quality, it was barely toasted and not buttered? Fail! The bun on my cheese burger was the same way. The burger itself was cooked perfectly medium well but it was a premade obviously Sysco quality burger which was poorly seasoned which was made more evident by the stale, cheap, poor quality bun. They did have Coke Zero which made me feel a little better. Also at the end of my meal I ended up having to get up from my table and go pay for my food since my server hadn't returned in 15 minutes after clearing my dirty dishes. I don't feel like I will return to this place as there are much better options in the area. The ambiance always feels like I'm in an IHOP at 3am for some reason..
