In a state with an over-abundance of fresh salmon, halibut, and crab Big Mountain BBQ offers an…read moreescape from the ocean. The service is friendly, the picnic table area is beautiful, and the food was INCREDIBLE. The "Big Mountain" is highly recommended: an open faced BBQ pulled pork sandwich with cheese, caramelized onions, and jalapeños- a flavor combination so beautiful that I almost forgot I was in a small Alaskan tourist trap. Big Mountain BBQ is simply wonderful.

Fun place with a lively atmosphere. We ordered the fish and chips and a Brewpub salad which were…read moreboth good. The service was friendly and timely.

Complained to manager and he cuts 10% off the $26 price. And they add 3% for credit card purchases. Have eaten here twice. This was the last time.

Well....I tried to give them another chance but they got demoted to one star after my last…read morevisit....Sorry not sorry. First of all they charge a 4% fee for using a CC which is the highest I've seen In Talkeetna. Second I waited In line to order, early on a Monday so they were not busy. I tired to order a 1/2 &1/2 pizza (the guy in front of me did) but she told me no....they don't do 1/2 & 1/2 pies so I mentioned the guy in front of me did and she just shrugged her shoulders and said "yeah". Man, what a let down it is when the customer service is so poor you don't even get to order. (Pasting my prior review below, I should listen to my own reviews.....but I thought maybe they would have improved in the years) give this pizza joint 3 stars IN THE WINTER and 2 stars in the summer....The summer season gets so over run by travelers that the waitstaff gets complacent, the pizzas get under cooked and all in all it's not that great of an experience. But the outdoor seating in the summer is very nice. The winters though, the service is on point the beers are good and the pizza is tasty so if you find yourself hunting for the aurora borealis in Talkeetna this is not a bad place to warm up and get your grub on!

Our daughter found this spot when we were making a drive from Anchorage to Denali and insisted we…read morestopped. She said it was the best cafe on the drive. My other half took a look at it and discounted it as a puppy stop not a cafe. We all lamented and insisted must stop on the drive back. We did and thank God because is THE BEST FOOD SPOT BETWEEN ANCHORAGE & DENALI. we pulled up not knowing what to expect and found a super cute trailer, well maintained & cleaned with lots of cute seating, games and music! There was also a doggy that was beautiful and wonderful to see, we missed any dog exhibitions or sled pulls but the food and drink made it so we did not feel like we were missing anything. We had smoothies, Mac n cheese, sandwiches and a lotus energy drink that I Loved and had never heard of and it gave me enough energy that I'm writing this review while driving back rather than dozing off. The service was kind, attentive and patient. We didn't know what to expect and were taking a while, add to that 3 little girls that had a million questions and you have a real test in hospitality. They passed it all. If you are driving between anchorage & Denali and don't stop, you are missing out. Do not let the idea of it being paired off with pups discourage you. Honestly very simple, but some of the best food we've had while visiting and I have been wearing my way through Alaska. Ohhhh and don't forget to ask about the secret menu or be afraid of trying g their pickle soup. It's all winners!!!!
