All around great experience! The girl that took my order was an absolute sweetheart, great customer service. The halibut and chips was delicious! There is even a covered area to sit and eat. Awesome little stop.

Stopped here on the way back from Homer and realized it’s one of the best restaurants in Alaska. Homemade sourdough, cut fries fried in beef tallow, steak sandwich was the best I’ve ever had.

Absolutely loved this place! I Had to order even more food so that I could try more of their entrees. We had the Brisket, rack of ribs, and a delicious juicy cheeseburger. Will eat here every time I'm in Alaska.

Always a hit, love this place, great food for the price. I got the steak sandwich and the cook girl forgot to ask how I'd like it so she said she made it how she likes it and it came out genuinely perfect. The employees are so wonderful too.

This was the perfect lunch before we went fishing! We got brisket, cheese curds, and fish and chips. The cheese curds were a huge hit with the family and the portion sizes were great in our opinion. Dessert was good and not too sweet. Bonus is that they gave my kids little mama's goodie bags to enjoy after lunch! Appreciated the hospitality and will be stopping by on our next trip down to Sterling.

This is the best burger in town (sterling, soldotna, and Kenai). The food was great and the service was excellent. A must-stop!
