Ok....it’s very Alaskan quirky and funky. We think their burgers and fries are the best in Alaska (my kids from Oregon head there as soon as they get here)! They do not take credit cards. Check during Covid restrictions as they are only doing take-out until restrictions over. Located just before Nenana… We always stop coming home from Denali or Fairbanks.

We admit to never actually have eaten here (although we do run often to their store as it is close). We are including it as many of our guests love and recommend it. Restaurant/bar/store/laundromat/gas…very down home Alaskan.

旅行者建议

出行

Searching for Aurora.

Remember…clear, dark nights, away from city lights. We see them out our door…from the field at the end of Trilby…and many other places on the outskirts of Fairbanks.
