Glacier Brewhouse in Anchorage, Alaska 🍻🦀

On the last day of our trip, we finally visited the highly recommended Glacier Brewhouse 🏔️. When we called a day earlier to make a reservation, we were told they don’t take reservations — walk-ins only. So we showed up around 4 PM, only to be told that without a reservation, there were no tables available 😤… We ended up booking for the next evening instead. Let me just say — this place is SUPER popular! Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, it’s always packed. If you plan to go, definitely try to reserve in advance! Now about the food 🍽️: I highly recommend their Appetizer Tower — it lets you try a bit of everything that makes them famous! For the main course, I wasn’t blown away — maybe because we’d already eaten so much seafood on this trip. The usual suspects are there: fried halibut, grilled salmon, and of course, Alaskan king crab 🐟🦀. Since we’re not huge fans of crab unless it’s prepared the Chinese way (like ginger and scallion stir-fry!), we skipped it. The prices are reasonable, the flavors are solid, and it’s definitely a crowd-pleaser 👌. They also brew their own beer 🍺, which probably explains why it’s always so busy! Overall dining experience in Alaska: During peak travel season, good restaurants are packed — especially in smaller towns. Without a reservation, you might not get a table unless you eat early (like at 4 PM). Traveling with a group of 7 made it even harder — we often had to split into two tables 🪑🪑. Not sure if it’s a post-pandemic issue, but service can be slow — we once waited almost 2 hours for a simple lunch 🕑😅. Most specialty restaurants in Alaska focus on seafood 🐠. Anchorage, being the biggest city, has more options. That said, our Chinese stomachs still prefer Chinese food 😄. We found one great spot that the kids loved — we ended up eating there two days in a row! #GlacierBrewhouse #AnchorageEats #AlaskaSeafood #TravelTips #FamilyTravel #FoodieReview #AlaskaDining 🍽️👨👩👧👦🗺️
