We found Biscuitclub a bit difficult to find due to online directions showing it at the front of the 4th Avenue Market Place building. Instead, it's located on the bottom floor of the building, in the rear. To reach it, take the stairs on the exterior left side of the building. I think Biscuitclub took over the entire bottom floor. There's plenty of seating inside and out and the smell of meat cooking on the flat top penetrates the entire area.
This is a counter service establishment and everything is cooked fresh to order. It took about 20 minutes for our food to arrive.
AK Biscuit ($22) - This meal comes with two biscuits, both very good drop biscuits, fluffy and super moist inside. The biscuits aren't cooked that evenly between batches, so one biscuit has a much more caramelized golden brown top, giving it a great crunchy crust on top, while the other biscuit is a bit lighter in color with less of a crust. Still, both have crunchy bottoms and the insides are very moist. There's good flavor in the dough, not too soapy from alkalinity and not too much of the baking soda taste. The biscuits are covered with a thick sausage gravy that's spiced well and has tons of dried herbs mixed in. It's kind of sweet, almost as if it's sweetened with a bit of maple syrup. Two eggs, cooked to our choice on the flat top, grace the top of this dish. We went with over medium, which has a mostly runny yolk that's set only a bit. There are spicy hot links, cubed and fried, and cubed ham as additional protein, and caramelized onions to add more sweetness. Overall, very high quality biscuit, combined with a tasty gravy. (5/5)
Reindeer Sausage ($4.50) - The reindeer sausage has only a tiny bit of gamey flavor - perhaps this sausage is still mostly pork or beef? It's kind of like a grocery store bought sausage in texture, so it's finer and more emulsified than a homemade sausage with a snappy casing. It's cubed and fried on the flat top to perfection. Each little piece has a side that is crispy charred. It's a nice sausage that would probably work well in gravy.
I grew up eating biscuits in the South, and I can say that Biscuitclub really serves some very solid drop biscuits. I was very surprised at the quality, especially given that it's located in Anchorage, not exactly the bastion of Southern cooking. This is a definite visit any time I'm in Anchorage.
