Great food and selection, friendly service and some of the best prices in Alaska. I recomend the Alaskan King Crad and the Caribo Burger.

We love halibut fish and chips and had several meals of this while in Alaska. The halibut fish and chips at West Rib were excellent. Three of the 4 of us in our party had it and all agreed it was about the best we ever had.

I always kick myself when I order a crabcake outside of the state of Maryland, but, alas, I did it again! As a result, I was quite disappointed. Not only did it have a lot of "filler," it was cold on the inside. The only redeeming quality about my meal was a good selection of beers to choose from--love the... More

As has been mentioned, it is a little rustic, but fits in well with the rest of the small town. I really wanted to try the caribou burger since seeing the Man vs Food episode. It was good and seasoned well, but a tad to raw for my request to be cooked medium. Spouses crab burger was good, but a... More

Stayed here for a quick pit stop and snack. Staff were friendly. The brewery across the road had a better selection of beer, but on the whole this had a better atmosphere.

Great place for a beer and a quick bite when visiting Talkeetna. It is rustic (as is all of Talkeetna). Enjoyed great weather and dined outside in the sunshine. We were hoping to see the mayor, but he wasn't around the day we were there.

Does a restaurant that has been covered on tv for its 5 lb hamburger challenge offer a sophisticated atmosphere? Of course not! How about a friendly relaxing one? Of course! We ate outside, since it was actually warm and sunny enough right before June-----and enjoyed the very friendly servers, Alaskan brew, and casual atmosphere. The 4 - 6 pm half-off... More

Visited this restaurant on the recommendation of crew members on the train bringing us from our cruise ship to Talkeenta before heading to Denali. They offer all types of meals featuring Alaskan specialties, including caribou and fresh halibut. We all went with the halibut tacos....two tacos with seared, not fried halibut and fresh pico de gallo. Served hot with tortilla... More
