"A potato-focused eatery that doubles as an unofficial community center, hosting summer concerts and events and acting as a social hub for locals and visitors; the menu centers on chef Ian Gyori’s made-to-order hand-cut curly fries (regular or rosemary‑garlic, straight up or buried inside a burrito) and playful plates like the Spudnik Supreme with eggs and jalapeños, alongside lighter items such as a miso salad with soft-boiled egg and lemon miso vinaigrette and evening specials that often feature Copper River salmon or other local seafood — all delivered despite significant freight and logistical challenges." - Jeremy Pataky
