Do You Remember These?
And we didn't come close to naming most of them.
Anchorage Alaska restaurants are a great escape from long winters and they quickly become almost a part of the family. And when summer finally arrives, our favorite restaurants are part of what's great about Alaska summers.
Just ask them if they ever visited the old A&W Drive-In where the lions were on display.
Or ask them what burger they like to order at the Arctic Roadrunner. Or ask them how often they visit the Lucky Wishbone.
Most will tell you how had the best burger, the best fries, and where to go when it's time to have a really nice dinner, in or near Anchor town.
Many of these fun stories about favorite Anchorage Alaska Restaurants include how they got started and other interesting facts that you might not already know.
And you may get to know the owners as they tell you how they created the restaurant you came to love.
And the pictures that accompany the stories really take you back.
So what special place are you thinking about now?
