We tried the Northern Lights which was 4 different fruit flavors that worked wonderful together. We also tried Kim's Off-road which was a mixture of butterfinger, chocolate chips, shaved walnuts, and peanut butter cups and it was a strange color but it was amazing. I would come back time and time again.

I had the elk burger and it was so delicious Will have to try the Bison next time. The owner was at the register and also stepped out to ask how I was liking the food. Nice small place in a little L shaped strip mall right before the stop sign that is downtown. Like the covered picnic tables outside but also a couple under a covered area right where you order food . Highly recommend this place.

Spend $10 and take a tour of their facility and learn about birch sap and the syrup making process! You will get to do a tasting of various syrups including their special reserve. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The gift shop itself has all of their items with samples of their products for tasting. I enjoyed the birch brew, brittle, lingonberry jam and the rhubarb syrup! A must stop for any Alaskan and tourist.

I love IPA's, so their Twister Creek IPA was the choice. Nice and crispy, not too bitter. We also decided to have a bit and decided to share a Fireweed sandwich. Smoked ham, lettuce, tomato, red onion, red pepper mayo. Very tasty and a good thing we shared, it's a big sandwich.

We had such a great experience at Denali Brew Pub! We ordered the burger and the smoked salmon dip,…read moreand both were absolutely delicious. The salmon dip was SO GOOD. I ate it as my meal and it was the perfect amount. The drinks were good too, could barely taste the alcohol, which I could use a little more. The best part, though, was the atmosphere. We sat outside with an incredible view, and once the sun came out, it made the whole experience even better. Sitting in the sunshine with that scenery was just beautiful. The vibes were perfect, and our server was super nice, chill, and made us feel really welcome. If you're looking for a great spot to grab a meal, enjoy the views, and relax, I 100% recommend Denali Brew Pub!

From the moment we walked in, we felt a friendly vibe. Our beautiful waitress, Rae-Janell, was helpful, attentive and her lovely smile made our delicious dinner even more enjoyable. While there, we watched locals stop in for a drink or to get their "oyster fix". They have a menu that is available all day and a dinner menu that begins at 5:00. Patrons talk to one another & we chatted with a gentleman who was from our home state of West Virginia (even though he was a Pitt fan). I splurged on the King Crab and it was worth every penny. My husband had the filet steak and said it was juicy and tender. If we are ever back in Talkeetna, we would definitely have a meal here again.

Our server, Kae, was attentive and so personable-she made our day! They have a great menu, lovely decor and a great wine and beer menu. Please don't leave Talkeetna without habving a meal here!

Because of many tour groups in the hotel it was very busy. We shared an Alaskan salmon burger and it was very good. The waiter payed attention and brought it out on 2 plates, already split in half. Breakfast was served there the next morning, buffet style. But first you have to get in! We waited about 10 minutes (and we were 2nd in line!) to get a table. They might have been understaffed, but the hostess did not show any confidence in what she was doing. The waiting line behind us was growing and growing. The buffet food was hmmm, let's say okay. Scrambled eggs, potatoes and pancakes. The pancakes were luke warm and a bit rubbery. The fruit bowl was already empty and nobody seemed to make an effort to refill things. I waited for about 10 minutes and finally decided to wave a waiter to finally get some coffee. The breakfast experience was kinda disappointing after last night.
