Cadillac Cafe — Restaurant in Alaska

Sometimes, you just get a hankering for something to eat. In my case, it was a calzone. In years past, I ordered calzone from the local Italian restaurant, which had been good. However, I wanted to see what options were available in the greater Wasilla area. This is how I came to become a Cadillac Cafe customer.

i searched and read numerous reviews from various area offerings. The more I searched, the more my hankering grew. It was the Cadillac Cafe's reviews, along with easy access that led me to my first experience.

I ordered the Cowboy Calzone. I was not disappointed! The bread was freshly made, the stuffed ingredients were plentiful, and the accompanying sauce, all added up to a delicious experience. BTW, I ordered by phone for pick-up.

I was so impressed with my first experience, it was several weeks to a month later and I had to discover if the Cowboy Calzone was a one-off or consistent taste. I will share the second order was as good as the first.

My birthday came about a month ago. I had another hankering. This time it was a Philly Cheesesteak. Again, i searched the greater Wasilla area options and chose the Cadillac Cafe given my previous positive experience.

As in prior orders, I called my order in over the phone for pick-up. I let the person taking my order know that I wanted the Philly Cheesesteak. I do not know if it was a joke that went over my head, or simply a matter of fact, and I was asked if I wanted cheese with the order. I was a tad taken back, however undaunted. You know, a Philly Cheesesteak has cheese in it's name. So, naturally, I said yes, cheese please. I was informed cheese is extra, and what kind did I want. Well, I had a hankering and was not going to be deterred. I did not ask how much more. Then I was asked what kind of cheese did I want. I mentioned mozzarella. That was not an option. Ok, so I had to ask what were my options. The person taking my order went through the available options. I was still back at "do you want cheese with that, and by the way. it is extra". Anyway, I asked what did the person taking my order recommend. I was told Swiss. OK, Swiss it is.

As with my two previous visits to the Cadillac Cafe, I was informed an approximate time when my order would be ready. I live down KBG a ways, and the timing worked out well. It is probably useful to know, I placed my order around 4:00 PM. I cannot speak to other times of the day.

However, since it was my birthday, I was not done ordering. I had read stellar reviews of their Seafood Fettucine. I realized my order was way more than a single person of average BMI would consume. Nonetheless, I also ordered the Seafood Fettucine.

The Seafood Fettucine was slightly disappointing because the seafood was on the skimpy side, in my opinion. On the other hand, the fettucine was done to perfection, and the sauce was yummy. I don't know if I will order that item again.

As for the Philly Cheesesteak, it came with homemade fries, and both were delicious. I may order that item again in the future.

The Cowboy Calzone is most likely to be ordered again in the future.

In summary, I recommend the Cadillac Cafe based upon the menu items I have tasted. The people who work there are pleasant to interact with, the place appeared clean, and while the location has been mentioned in other reviews as somewhat peculiar, a visit to the Cadillac Cafe is worth it if you are a...

The people were amazing, and the food was spectacular. I absolutely love being able to watch them bake right in front of me. I loved how the meat in the gyro practically melted in my mouth 😍. My mom absolutely loved their hot turkey club, and their fries were delicious. It felt like an old Italian mom and pop shop. The staff were so fun to chat with. There were these teenage boys who had the best conversations with my mom and I. And it felt like a slice of home if I'm to be honest. If I ever have the chance to go again, I most definitely will and stay longer. AND EAT THE PIE!!! Seriously, the pie looked picture perfect, with a flaky crust and well-made fillings. If I could have, I would have bought the whole pie and devoured it as I talked to the staff. Even if I don't have the money to purchase food, I'd just hang around for the lovely staff and just chat, and I don't think I'd actually be asked to leave until the store was well and closed. 10/10...

Absolutely AWESOME! Gema is the server and saleswoman fir this hidden Gem. I would lable it as a Dive, as its a hole in the wall connected to a speedway gas station. However, it was probably our best meal in Alaska. My Bride had the Salmon tacos, and the fish chunks were large enough to be served on their own, and superb -- I got a taste from her. My sister-in-law had the burger, and was unable to finish it due to size, not taste; she stated it was great. A friend had the Brisket, and it almost made me regret not getting it. Cooked and seasoned to perfection, and again an very generous portion. She kept raving on how good it was. I got the 12" meat pizza with mushrooms and onions added. One of the best pizza's I ever had. Gema said the cook uses his own recipes (including pizza dough) and takes pride in his food; I definitely concur. Prices very reasonable. ...
