🍴3 of The BEST Local Food Spots to Visit in Alaska

Alaska is a must-visit state — acres of untouched nature, scenic drives, and unforgettable wildlife sightings. But let’s be real—trying new local food is half the adventure (and helps keep the hanger away).

Whether you’re coming off a glacier hike or winding down from a wildlife tour, Anchorage has some seriously good eats. Here are our Top 3 Local Food Spots in Anchorage, Alaska you must try! 🏔️🍴

1. 🍕 Moose’s Tooth Pizza

From the moment we pulled up to Moose’s Tooth, we could tell it was a local favorite—the place was absolutely packed! We were grabbing takeout after a long hike, but the lively vibe inside made us wish we’d stayed to dine in.

Their menu is full of creative and crave-worthy pizzas. Some standouts include:

• Greek Gyro Pizza
• Chipotle Steak Pizza
• Call of the Wild (yes, with reindeer sausage!)
• Our pick: Mac ‘N’ Cheese Pizza 😍

We only had time to try one flavor, but we will be back to explore more of this funky, flavor-packed menu. Trust us, it’s worth the hype!

2. 🤤 Glacier Brewhouse

We hadn’t originally planned to visit Glacier Brewhouse, but a generous family friend (shoutout to Alaska locals 🙌) gifted us a meal here—and we’re so glad they did.

Located in the heart of downtown Anchorage and easy to book through OpenTable, this spot had cozy vibes and the best customer service we’ve experienced in a long time. We mentioned it was our honeymoon in our reservation note, and they made it truly special from start to finish.

Here’s what we had:

• Drink: Adult Root Beer
• Appetizer: Alaska Smoked Salmon Dip
• Dinner (Samuel): King Crab Legs & Alder Wood-Grilled Ribeye
• Dinner (Sophia): Grilled Shrimp & Scallop Skewer with Alaska Alder King Salmon
• Dessert: Complimentary S’mores Brownie Skillet (yes, please!)

We left completely full and incredibly happy. A must-visit for a cozy, celebratory night out.

3. 🍺 49th State Brewing

This brewery was another spot recommended to us by locals, and we wish we’d gone sooner! We visited the Healy location on our way back from Denali National Park, but they also have one in Anchorage.

Even before they opened, the parking lot was packed—a sign of good things to come. From unique beer flavors to delicious comfort food, everything hit the spot.

What we ordered:

• Drink: Root Beer Flight — Ripe Raspberry, Spruce Tip, Blueberry Cream, and Classic
• Dinner (Samuel): King Crabby Grilled Cheese 🦀
• Dinner (Sophia): AK Sockeye Salmon Melt

The food was amazing, and the root beer flight was such a fun (and non-alcoholic!) treat. If you love variety and bold flavors, don’t miss this place.
