There aren't a lot of options for restaurants in this area, but based on other reviews we were looking forward to eating here. We ordered the halibut sandwiches and were disappointed. They came on a large bun with plenty of lettuce, tomato & onion slices, pickles, etc but the "fresh halibut" looked like a breaded hockey puck. Tasted ok but not something I'd do again. The pile of french fries were heavenly, but the potato salad had so much mayo it was more like soup.The pies looked delicious so we took a slice of apple and a slice of strawberry rhubarb home with us to eat later. Again, we were disappointed. The fillings were good, though a bit sweet, but the crust was extremely thick and "flat" tasting. Service was very good. Ambiance was perfect rural truck stop. There's a "mini market" inside as well where you can get basics and necessities (dry goods, frozen items such as entrees, pizzas, veggies, desserts, and beer/liquor). Note that they are working on the Elliott Hwy and traffic is a bear -- lots of flagmen and stop/go traffic.

A friend from Fairbanks put us on to this place. Was friendly and cozy with an at home atmosphere. Went there for breakfast and then again for dinner. Food was good and people were friendly. We appreciate when we can take time to talk with the local people and get their stories.

We are here three times. Tracy our server always helpful and friendly. Food good and reasonably priced. Met some friendly locals and enjoyed the ambiance. Fairbanks photos all around with numbers, books at the tables tell about each picture.

Food was fair nothing out of the ordinary. Why don't waitresses understand what vegan is? If I ask for items not to have eggs or cooked in butter and no dairy why would you butter the toast? Then when brought to the waitresses attention she said she had to charge us for the replacement toast. Poor customer service

I like establishments that serve breakfast all day because of my unpredictable schedule. However, I don't like greasy food, nor cigarette smoke; and this place has neither! Friendly staff and quick service!
