great food!. humpy's has great food and great atmosphere! good place to watch football on sundays while having a bloody mary!

they can shove it!. no idea about the food but the old west fight for a seat mentality is old and un-needed in todays society. i have never had such a horrible experience. no quality food can change the 45 minute wait just to have our table stolen literally by 3 yahoos who seemed to enjoy the fact that our party was civilized and they were morons! the management needs to get a ticket a wheel and hire a greeter t at least let people know what they are in for. disgust and this place had such high hopes.!

day number one in alaska. we arrived at the anchorage airport at 7 pm alaska time. i had woken up at 4 am eastern time, so in all reality my sense of time seemed a little messed up. at 4:30 am i caught a cab from the conference center north of dc to the r

i agree woth the fogjt for a seat complaint. ot is absolutely stupid, and frankly rude to patrons, that one can't be seated by a server like every other restaurant on earth. staking out tables and hovering around while people eat is the only option if you want to have dinner. the food is good though. but triple check your bill. i've been overcharged there too often to think it a coincidence.

best beer deal downtown: $3.50 pbr tall boy. try firewood vodka on the rocks or birch syrup vodka.

tall pbr cheap. lots of beers. i start high end and finish on $3.50 tall pbr's- best beer deal i found in downtown.

quite the experience. humpy's was listed as one of the top restaurants anywhere in the u.s., and while i think that may be a bit of a stretch, i would agree that it is quite the experience. the beer selection is unbelievable, and i've never had a bad meal here. yes, it is definitely a bar, but don't think that you're going to be served the standard bar food. and don't be mistaken, it is one busy place that packs out frequently, so service can slow down from time to time. that's the price you pay for hanging in a place that excels in food, spirits and live entertainment. you have a handful of bad reviews for a place that is often "standing room only".......you do the math.

i've eaten here plenty of time and every time it's been enjoyable. yeah sometimes it's really busy and the service can slow down, but it's never been anything to complain about! huge beer selection & and great food. everything i've ordered has been awesome, no complaints from any of my experiences there!

yummy!. king crab...succulent! berry crisp....the 4 different berries, the crispy crust & the ice cream on top....wow! it was so decadent, i'm pretty sure i said yum or omg after every bite!

service was really friendly too! you have to try this place!

loved it!. in anchorage one night in transit from australia it was recommended that we come here. we loved it! food was nice but the service was great. our waitress bonnie was fantastic, had the gift of the gab. well done!

what happened humpy's? we came for the pyramid ale (no longer served), halibut tacos (good, but somewhat overcooked), smoked salmon spread ('ok'-it was more cream cheese than we remembered, and less large pieces of smoked salmon - more processed looking) and calamari (fantastic!!! some of the most tender calamari we've had!). we were happy to visit, but must admit that the food wasn't as good as we remembered and the prices had increased substantially. atmosphere was as great as we remembered, but unfortunately there's no live music on thursdays. our service was really great: friendly and fast. this would still be a good place to grab local brews and apps on the weekend.

bad food. this has to be one of the worst places to eat in anchorage. the staff takes forever to wait on you. i had a steak that had to go back twice and by the time they bought it back the rest of our party had finished dinner. the crab legs were a joke. do your self a favor and go some place else.

terrible customer service. i have been coming to humpy's since they opened in anchorage over 20 years ago. it has always been a big favorite of both mine and my hubby. we both enjoy a really good beer and appreciate a good beer selection. my hubby and i actually had our 1st date at humpy's 19.5 years ago--we went to humpy's for beers after seeing a great white concert at the egan. we move to kona on the big island of hawaii from 2004-2011 and were so excited when they opened in the old hard rock location on ali'i drive. we were there on opening night and so happy to see an alaska company we loved come to kona! life and careers haven't allowed us to visit humpy's much since we moved back, so i was really excited that i recently started a job (last week) two blocks away. today, i had very limited time with many meetings but didn't bring my own lunch. i thought finally...i can order from humpy's!! i looked at their online menu and called up for a cheeseburger.... first, the phone rang and rang. i had almost given up when someone answered. i gave my pick-up order and was told it would be 15 minutes. i had someone come to my office and talk with me so i didn't get out of the office to pick up the food for about 25 minutes. i was thinking it would be a quick jump in and grab the food since it was past the time they gave me for the pick up order. approaching from the rear, i was told to go to the bar and they would have my food. after trying hard to get the bartenders attention, i told him i had a pick-up order. i handed over my credit card and he went to the machine and ran it but didn't go check on the food. he just came over and said it wasn't ready--how do you know this if you don't even check with the kitchen. it was obvious that he had not put in the order, and yes he was the one on the phone i originally put the order in with.. i kept thinking ok, well the food will be good. after hangin for 15 minutes and really needing to go back to work, i went to the bar and asked the bartender how much longer would it be since i was short on time and had specifically called in the order to save time--the response was an attitude of "i am not cooking it. so i don't know." by the time i got my food, it was over 45 minutes since i called in the order. what did i get? a dry burger that had little flavor, terrible service, with a bartender with major attitude, and a big waste of my time. a 20+ year love affair--done!

this place was average the service was not good and very slow. the food was ok at best. don't order the halibut tacos ! nor the omlets. the food was cold. we complained and nothing was done.

sorry to say i did not enjoy my meal. i had the halibut with rice. i got a dry piece of something coated in breadcrumbs that could have been halibut and potatoes. not happy. they did comp the salmon because it was over cooked and dry. too bad.

stopped by to watch golf. draft beers were really good with 60 to choose from. the mix you own bloody mary was a good priced drink. the soup was excellent
