The 26 Best Restaurants in Anchorage, Alaska | Eater

"Anchorage has a thing for the kind of food you’d like to totally get down with after a long hike – pizza and tacos top this list. The Bear Tooth and its always jam-packed sibling, Moose’s Tooth pub and pizzeria, do exactly this kind of cooking. Deeply loved by locals, this second-run movie theater and cafe with an adjacent restaurant and bar in the Spenard neighborhood is almost always humming with customers (secret: weekend brunch in the grill is usually a little slower and delicious and you can often slip into the cafe when the grill has a wait). The movie theater side has pizza, salads, tacos, beer, and wine. The local fish tacos and a second-run movie will lighten up any dreary rainy afternoon. The grill side offers a Mexican-influenced menu with lots of local specials in the summertime. The margaritas and house-made chips and guac make a very sensible meal. This location is great for families, but expect to wait most nights at the grill." - Julia O'Malley
