Tommy's Burger Stop-Spenard

The 26 Best Restaurants in Anchorage, Alaska | Eater

"This tiny storefront restaurant next to a pawn shop in the Spenard neighborhood is always slammed, and there’s good reason. Tommy’s burgers do not disappoint — as evidenced by the fact there’s almost always a wait. The patties come griddle-smashed and seasoned with Cajun spices. The aloha burger, with teriyaki sauce, pineapple and grilled onions is a classic, as is the stella blue, with blue cheese and mozzarella in the pattie. There’s also a full menu of po-boys and cheesesteak sandwiches. Don’t miss the dessert case, where you’ll find Cajun delight, made with whipped cream cheese and pudding in a butter-pecan crust from the Double Musky Inn in Girdwood. Very limited indoor and outdoor seating." - Julia O'Malley
