Decided to go here on a Sunday since they are now open for Sunday brunch and dinner. This is our…read morefirst trip. I had called prior to inquire about gluten-free options. I was told that most likely I could have the catfish. But anything smothered most likely not. If you're concerned about cross contamination, this is not the place to be. I opted of course for the catfish and my two sides were sweet potatoes and collard greens. I had to forgo the cornbread or roll that comes with. My husband ordered the same since they did not have ribs on today's menu and his sides were mac & cheese and sweet potatoes with cornbread. He wanted sweet tea, but they were out so we both got the Kool-Aid and the flavor was tropical punch I would assume. Everyone was friendly and accommodating with all my questions. You know from my previous reviews if you can't give me the time to answer my allergy questions then you probably can't take the time to take my money either so I'm not going to eat there. But not the case here. I found that they have beef ribs as well as pork, ribs, and short rib ribs. They have turkey, bacon and chicken, bacon and regular. Shrimp. So those would be the proteins that I can have being gluten-free. Oxtails and any other meat that comes with a sauce or gravy would contain flour. So I could have the shrimp and grits for example. But it's nice to know that I can also get some ribs since I don't eat pork. They also have turkey sausage. The catfish was seasoned great & fried perfectly. My husband felt robbed in that there should've been more fish. As we have experienced more from for example, from a soulful restaurant in Hawaii for about the same price with same two sides as recently as January 2026. We hit that restaurant multiple times while we were in Hawaii because of the portions and the flavor. I felt that the sides were plentiful as they did fill the to go three part container up above the top threshold, which was awesome. So not stingy with the sides. They are also mindful that the juices from the sides could run over into the catfish area and make it soggy so they put parchment paper around the catfish so that when juices go over into that section it does not come in contact with the fish. That is very thoughtful. The collard greens were good. Might need a little more salt or garlic but that's me and how I cook. The sweet potato rounds remind me of the picsweet sweet potato rounds that you can buy versus buying the canned sweet potatoes or using fresh sweet potatoes and then adding your own butter and seasoning to them. I say that because the sweet potato had some kind of aftertaste that I can't put my finger on what that flavor was, but for me it was offputting so I probably won't order those again. My husband, however, felt that he could deal with it. He also tasted the aftertaste of some ingredients that was not cinnamon or nutmeg or butter or sugar, but he would order them again. He really did like the mac & cheese a lot so it's good that they put plenty in the container for him. I of course couldn't have any so I'm going off of his review of that. The Kool-Aid was definitely sweet not white on the "liquid crack" level, but definitely not watered down. If it was any more sweeter, it would definitely be my mom's. So good job done there. They were out of the sweet tea so we will have to try that next time. The restaurant is pretty large in that the tables were spaced out across the area so there would be plenty of space between you and tables. They do have some booths in there. Three flatscreen TVs but only two were on at the time that we came through there. The table that we sat at to wait for our to go order was sticky clean but sticky I didn't go around to test the other tables which I could have because we were the only ones in the restaurant besides a DoorDasher. So I'm hoping that they just didn't clean that one as well versus sticky tables all around. But for cleanliness at first look, it is clean. We came just as the transition from brunch to dinner at 3:00 PM so they did have food in the display area, but catfish was not there so we got ours fresh. They did get the sweet potatoes and the mac & cheese from the displayed containers under the heat lamps they take all forms of payment, including tap and pay. So all in all the experience was good for the most part and we will go back to try other foods so we can review those as far as I can go being gluten-free.

It's not often I crave bbq, but tonight was the night. I've driven by this little BBQ hut for the…read morepast few weeks and it's intrigued me. While they DO have clam chowder, the bbq is why I was here. We did the family combo which was $37.50 (the website said about $10 cheaper so I was a little surprised) and easily feeds 3-4 people meat and rice wise. It also comes with a slaw, but it is a small portion. I am not a fan of the slaw. We also didn't get the other side advertised. I loved the pulled pork. The chicken was good. The ribs were fall off the bone tender. Great meat portions for the price. Will easily feed my household for two meals. Very friendly staff and it wasn't a long wait for the food.

Ok. A few things…read more The business REALLY needs to update the prices on their website. They are INCREDIBLY dated. We ordered 2 combo's and 2 chowders over the phone for pickup. When we arrived at the foodtruck, the prices of the combos were almost DOUBLE what we were expecting. The website says the combo is $16.50. The combo actually costs $28.00. Additionally, despite the website saying this: "All BBQ comes with Chowder Express Java Rice, Island Slaw, and Curried Pickled Cucumber & Carrots" The combos did not come with curried pickled cucumbers and carrots. The food was OK. The portions were absolutely MASSIVE. The combo could easily feed two people. Worth trying, just make sure you order from the truck so you can see the prices first.

I ordered the rib special (not the lunch one) for $12. The ribs looked amazing and were delicious. The collard green were up there with the best I've ever had. The fried okra was very tasty. The service was a tad spotty but I can overlook that since we were early and the front of the house help was late. The menu has something for every taste. As we were leaving 9 red hat ladies came in. I will definitely say the bbq was very good, I would say better than Johnston's. You can also get pork chops, burgers and much more. Give this place some love. I offered a little advice about taking care of the 9 ladies because many had not been there before. I'll come back again.

Our family made regular trips here back in 60s after a day of work at Merrill Field. Recently we were greeted by the owner's daughter (same age as me) who runs the place now.

And yeah, the seafood does live up to the billing. But sometimes, you just want some fried chicken or a burger. And when that mood hits, Lucky Wishbone is the place to go. So it looks like a diner, it feels like a diner, but the eats are far, far better than any diner I've been to in awhile. Fried chicken? You betcha. 3 piece, all dark, side of mashed potatoes and gravy, and cup of their chowder (on a side note, I dare say that all chowder in Anchorage is outstanding!!!). Loved the fried chicken. Delicious. Beautifully fried. I probably could've put a couple dabs of hot sauce but that's only because I like a little heat. Mashed potatoes and gravy (Alaska potatoes are also outstanding!!!) hit the spot. Chowder was so good : super creamy and loaded with seafood and potatoes. Maybe I should've order a small bucket to take back home with me. Both the service and the place was warm and friendly. Sufficed to say, I had a most enjoyable lunch here.

Here is a gem in a far off place from the basis of its inspiration. I'm on a strict diet and could…read morenot try many things and I don't like wasting money so I got a small dish that I could tolerate eating. The BBQ shrimp it was. Now anyone who knows about this dish understands it's not the same type of BBQ like we do ribs and chicken. This is a butter sauce that's seasoned to creole standards and served with French bread. Typically it's served in shell however these were peeled and served in the sauce. I'm not mad at this as I didn't have to get messy to peel the shrimp and dip the sauce etc. it was nice to eat it with a fork and already doused in the sauce. The bread was easy to dip and it wasn't salty. I'd love for my New Orleans born friends to make the trip in order to check this place out. I went early in the day shortly after opening so it wasn't salty not crowded at all and the host whisked me to a table with a good view for people watching. They were able to handle greeting, serving, and bartending between the 2 of them and not lose any grace or standards of service. I explained my dietary restrictions and the young lady was happy to navigate me through the menu. They have a full bar that I'm interested in delving into but I had to work later that day so water and soda were sufficient.

I will say they are 5/5 for friendliness…read more But for Cajun food they are lacking. What they did good was their French fries and nuggets which their fries are battered. For a kids meal this is a really big portion. For Cajun food it lacked flavor and was kind of just weird. The red beans were bland, Lacked real seasoning, salt and had chunks of carrots. The gumbo was alright but not good or exceptional by any means. I did like that the okra was fresh enough to not be slimy. But it had no spicy appeal, and lacked the holy trinity. It also wasn't oily which was nice. The jambalaya was outright bad. It tasted sour and just really off. It was also like a soup instead of a rice dish. To top it off there were chunks of shredded cheese in it. Crab cakes were alright but the dressing for it was incredibly mustard seed heavy. My husband was a fan of the sauce, but I really wasn't. The buttered bread was good. I can't foresee myself coming back just because it lacked the bold flavor I expect from Cajun food and tasted pretty weird. If I ever gave it another shot I'd probably try a poboy.

It's run by Crush Wine Bistro which is one of the nicer restaurants in town nearby so you're definitely getting a local, nice fare while at the museum. There are a handful of vegetarian options including 2 salads, baked make and cheese, falafel, a grilled cheese sandwich, and a couple of bowls. So a decent amount of things to choose from along with wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks galore. My wife and I shared the goat cheese salad which we thought was really fresh, good, and hearty enough for the two of us...especially when I added the grilled cheese sandwich...a very slightly upscale version of a basic grilled cheese with American cheese...no bells or whistles here, possibly a tiny bit saltier than I would have liked it to be...but not over-buttered...it was almost like it was very lightly grilled or baked even so, despite it being a grilled cheese, it felt a little bit healthier. You order at the counter and they bring you your food into the dining area which had plenty of comfortable places to sit. I don't know that we would head to Muse on it's own, but it was a perfect and satisfying place to go while visiting the museum.
