glacier brewhouse

good atmosphere and very good food.. service was excellent.. a good place go take friends or family who might be visiting alaska.. one thing i do agree on is that it is pretty loud and pretty tightly seated.. would go again..

no wonder why!!!

a night out. read it was one of the best places to eat in anchorage. very good food, even for vegetarians. i ordered the fire wood grilled vegetable pizza. the serving size was enough for dinner plus a "brown bag" for work the next day. the beer is a "must try", and don't forget dessert! great food, good pricing, flavorful beer. a "must" on places to eat in anchorage, ak

it's ok.. the atmosphere is nice but the prices for food are very high. beer is ok. can find better priced food and beer in many other places in anchorage.

large portions - great beers! seafood chowder is to die for and shrimp and grits “best ever” ... good atmosphere, good service, prices reasonable for the quality and portion size!

i keep coming back for lunches and dinner. anytime i’ve got family in town and they want a nice place to eat, i take them to gbh. the flat iron steak is awesome. the fried chicken sandwich is perfection! to top it off, the service is 10/10! this is the benchmark for restaurants in anchorage.

great burger.. we finished our cruise in seward, got off the ship and took the shuttle bus to anchorage where we had time to kill before catching an airplane ride home. after a week long cruise enjoying many alaskan sea foods, we were hungry for a good old fashioned hamburger. the bacon burger is big, flavorful, juicy and satisfying. our only complaint: we wish we'd had room for dessert!

uh huh. i have had 2 so-so experiences, the flank steak wasn't enough to feed a 2 year old. but i will say everyone else who i have gone with has absolutley loved the place. so maybe its me! its worth a shot, and i suggest calling in advance for reservations.!

seafood chowder. best in the state :) no competition. thick, creamy, filled with corn salmon crab and other deliciousness. mmmm!

good if you don't live in alaska. glacier brew house is one of those places that was designed with the tourist in mind. there is nothing wrong with that. the food is good, if a bit expensive. it's one of those places that just seems to try a little harder than it should. everything is just a bit too fancy. if you order something simple like a hamburger and a beer it comes with organic lily chilly compote instead of mustard and ketchup. all in all the place is nice, i liked it, but if you want a good burger go to the peanut farm, if you want good ribs go to pete's barbeque. if you want to impress your auntie and uncle up from oklahoma then this is the place!

just an ok experience. i'm conflicted on this place. the food was good although for the prices (outragous prices imo) very skimpy on the portions. i honestly don't understand how all the younger people we saw there (and those who write the majority of reviews on these websites) can afford to eat out at places like this all the time. no wonder they complain they are broke all the time. we went there for the new "brunch". we got in right at our reserved time which was nice. the place was packed as usual. i have to say i don't believe they have enough staff, especially in the back of the house. our waiter, who was very good, came to our table right away. he asked if we would like water and then left to get it. a few minutes later someone brought water. about 5 min after that the waiter came back and asked if wanted drinks. we ordered and he left and brought the drinks about 5 min after that and then left. the bloody mary bar was pretty awesome. he came back about 10 min later to ask our food order and if we wanted bread. some one else brought the bread and dropped it off. so about 25 min from seating our food order was taken. we ordered a variety of things from the waffle to crab eggs benedict (there were 4 of us). the food finally arrived 1 hour and 15 minutes after we had sat down. it is obvious they were stalling for time by the ordering process. they made sure you never felt forgotten but that is a bit long for the food we ordered. i don't expect food to be out in 15 minutes or less unless it is pre-made but 2 hours for a "brunch" is really more time than it should be. they need to work on that part of it or forget the "brunch" concept they are trying. because of the high prices for everything i saw on the menus i probably will not go back unless invited by someone for a special occasion. the cost versus the food is just not that wow enough for me to justify it. parking is also a problem. downtown is awful for parking unless you want to pay $8-$10 just for that.

great food, great beer, & the best bread pudding!

a good choice. a pretty impressive micro brewery, and they make their own root beer too! my personal favorite was the bourbon beer. as for the food, some things are good, while others are down right amazing. it is a little pricey depending on your choices, but that's the case anywhere worth going. the place draws a solid crowd consistantly, so i wouldn't believe all the bad reviews you read. it can be an extended wait to be seated if you have a large party or get there in the middle of the rush. and yes, the chocolate peanut butter pie is to die for!!!

make more?. is it just me, or do they always run out of prime rib just before i order it? arrghh!!!

bookends were great, middle not so much.... the appetizer and dessert were both amazing, the main courses needed some work. my wife and i split the calamari plate (we'll be getting one each the next time we're up!!) and it was, without a doubt, the best calamari either of us had ever had. it was cooked perfectly, felt like it was melting in our mouths as we ate. couldn't have asked for a better start to the meal.

our mains, while good, weren't great. i had the herb crusted halibut, my wife had the crab legs. the halibut was nice, flaked easily with the fork so no need for a knife as a proper fish should be. the crab legs were very disappointing. we had better crab at a shack(literally) in juneau (tracy's king crab shack...yum!!)

the dessert we split was a peanut butter and chocolate cake. this was one of the best desserts we've had on our honeymoon and definitely a recommendation. if we're ever back up this way again we'd simply have the calamari and then the dessert!
