This place rules. Great beer selection, really yummy food. They even have some options for those who aren't beer fans like a seltzer and some non-alcoholic choices (kombucha and a soda for the kids). Smaller location, but great place to meet with friends!

Out of all of the breweries that I’ve had in Alaska this one comes in at #7. Absolutely, hands down, they have the best coffee porter in the state. They need a award for their Grounds for Divorce coffee porter, it’s rich, complex with just the right amount of coffee flavor! I was also surprised by their Basic Bit** sour. One of my favorite parts about this brewery is their relaxed, comfy environment that is so inviting to bring your friends and just sit down and enjoy a cold one! They have outside sitting as well which is great. They offer food as well which was very good!

The beers are a rotating selection of brews that are all delicious and unique. For the real experience you have to stay and eat and chat for a bit. The food is always amazing and never disappoints. 11/10 would recommend.

After a decade, I’ve found my favorite Alaska brewery. And their food hits! It’s obvious this place puts a lot of care and intention into creating a high end experience in the aesthetic of their scene and the quality of their craft.

Excellent service and fantastic pairings for special events. If headed over for a tasting during normal hours you won't be disappointed.

It's one of the best breweries in alaska, and one of the best pure Alaskan experiences, any one could have. The beers are very good, I have not had a bad one yet they have created. The crowd here is a slice of alaska. This is a fun place that doesn't take itself seriously, but makes seriously good beer. Update five years later. Still the best brewery in Alaska! I might miss the farm but in the winter after driving 45 minutes for a beer, its nice comfy and warm. The food is very good.

This hidden gem of Palmer is of the highest quality in all aspects. The brew is excellent and the list is amazing. The food is incredible,the staff and cozy family atmosphere are beautiful and the price is right. Thank you for the fine dining experience you've afforded your customers and we will absolutely be seeing you again soon.

Such a cool brewery. Delicious beers and fantastic staff. Not a ton of food choices but the mac n cheese was absolutely delicious. Seating outside and inside which was awesome.

Delightful! I got the tofu banh mi and the pomegranate lemonade slush. I was so impressed with the tofu!! Perfectly prepared. The aesthetic is also very nice; love the outdoor seating!

Not really my atmosphere and vibe. Very hipster and odd. The beer echos the atmosphere. Weird names and flavors. Cool swag though. I love the emblematic.

Such a fun craft brewery in the midst of small town Alaska! I walked in the snow from the Eagle Hotel because I didn't want to figure out parking in the snow, again from getting the last space in the hotel lot. The beer selection was amazing and the service was superb!! Loved the chili atmosphere!

Not the best experience tonight. The food was tasty and the limited staff tried hard, that is why they got a 3 from me. My Moussaka is pictured. The potatoes were good but the cheese was burned so badly it ruined the dinner. The Brie dish was served without the walnuts and only had 4 pieces of bread with it. Even with limited staff they need to try harder.

Service is not their strongest attribute. The food us good but takes forever to make. Most everyone seated already had their food. Only 3 people showed up at the same time as us. It took over 30 minutes to make 2 sandwiches. Thirty minutes. Seems crazy when I could make and bake a pizza faster than that. Or grill a burger patty and fix that up. The food is delicious. Fresh. Crisp lettuce. But every time I've gone there it's been a wait. The longest I've waited was 45 minutes. That's a long time....

Ordered the steamer clams and they were excellent. The ribeye was a very thin cut and didn’t have any marbling. The atmosphere is foposh. They want to look good but in a cheap way. The biggest con for me is their ice tea and fountain drinks are no free refills. It costs them .30 to make but charge $4 for a fountain drink. Makes it hard to want to come back as they do not value their customers. Waitress was very nice

Went to have a nice breakfast with my wife. Food was ok but everything had a layer of grease or something they cooked with on it. There was a layer of moisture on the plate. We only saw the waiter to order them other people brought us the food and took our plates. Breakfast came with bread but had to ask for it and by the time I got it, I was done with my food. I ordered coffee with my food and since we never had our server again, I never got a refill. I would never have spent that much on coffee if I had known I wouldn’t get a refill at least once. I will not be going back for a while. People in this town seem to love this place but I get better service almost everywhere else I go.

This place has super tasty and savory food! I got the portobello sandwich with a side salad. Everything is made from scratch and you can taste the difference. The bread, mozzarella and pesto on my sandwich were all made in house, and the homemade balsamic dressing on my salad was divine. We split spanakopita as an app and loved it. Super fresh! Can’t wait to come back for another meal.

Had the (probably spelled wrong) chicken piazzoli and the chicken fungi recommended by our server Riley- very good, unique sauce for sure.

Alaskan casual with exceptional food selection. Took my family of four out here. The breads and oil that came before the meal was excellent. Great service and friendly atmosphere. Great salad and pasta selection.

If you’re a foodie, this the place to eat in Palmer. Superb food. Friendly staff. My favorite is the Chicken and Figs.

I had eat in and to go orders. The to go order was entirely the wrong items, and when I emailed for resolution, there were no returned emails. The dine in was ok, but definitely not worth the price. The atmosphere was loud, so much so that I could not hear my friend across the table.

Amazing place to have breakfast. The meals were delicious and high end. On a tour with guests from Atlanta and they were impressed with the quality. Highly recommend and will be taking our guests here on future Alaskan Tours. Fine dining!

Update:4-11-24 Still my favorite restaurant in the valley! I come a bit less because now I live 45 minutes away, but I still make the trip often because the food and tea never disappoints! I have so many "favorites" here, but the "cold cure" tea is hands down the best drink imho. Pic of todays meal of bread with balsamic and oil, indian type beef stew, and cold cure tea. Such a wonderful day and my waitress was awesome to boot! Wish I had gotten her name. Go visit if you haven't yet, you won't regret it! And don't forget to try the lemon tart with blueberries and whip on top! This is my favorite restaurant hands down! I come at minimum once a week and each time have tried something new, which is totally out of character for me, and every time completely enjoyed all of my food! Only wish is that they would add blended iced fruity drinks or even a limeade to the menu, but nevertheless I LOVE this restaurant! People are always friendly anf cookies are bomb! I love the food is reasonably priced as well. Thank you Turkey Red for another wonderful experience today! I'll be back soon!

Great food!!!!! Awesome service! I had never tried Kombucha and I was given a sample to see if I would like it. Customer service like that is awesome!! We had the hummus appetizer (with great bread!) and beef stew. Tender and juicy with the perfect amount of meat and veggies. A good selection of deserts which we took to go. You'll love it!

Drove up from Wasilla last night and so glad I did. The Brie berry appetizer was delish. Tart and sweet plus cheese. So good. The Mediterranean salad reminded me of my time in Greece and the Salmon special was flavorful. The only recommendation would be to cook the salmon a bit less. Make sure you ask for it medium. It was pretty well done. Service was prompt and food was great overall.

I always enjoy the coffee and food here. I used to come here to work a lot but I had to switch to other spots because it gets WAY too crowded even on weekdays and the internet starts to slow down when a lot of people are on it. On a better note, if you get a mug instead of a to go cup they will do some latte art and they make a really great tasting latte :)

It's a cozy little cafe with sweet treats and friendly people working the counter. We had the pumpkin bread, cinnamon rolls, and hot chocolate and they were all delicious! I'm as bit of a cinnamon roll connoisseur and these were some of the best I've had at a restaurant--soft and fresh with really good pecans and caramel on top. We'll be back to try other things. They had a really good selection of cookies, bars, etc.

Their menu always satisfies my cravings whether it be soup, salad, panini, burrito or pastry. Plenty of vegan and GF options. Enjoy a selection of pottery and work from other local artists that decorate the cafe.

I haven’t seen latte foam this rich since I paid $9 for one in Seattle. Here you have top notch coffee and friendly people besides. Haven’t tried the food but if the coffee is any indication, 5⭐️.

My favorite coffee in AK! The food is so fresh & delicious every single time. I have a photo of "The Bella." A veggie panini. I normally like meat on my sandwiches but this veggie sandwich was too good to pass up. All of the sandwiches & paninis ... and soups... and salads .... you name it, are amazing! You can't go wrong with what you order here.

4.5 if I could give half ratings here. The zebra hot chocolate (half white and milk mocha chocolate) was delicious. They gave me a coffee though for my first order but they redid the order once I told them. The space is a bit closed off, but other than that I like it. It looked like they had locally made products (like cookies) as well which was great to see!

Ordered a chicken salad croissant sandwich. Although the scoop of chicken salad that was plopped on a huge piece of leaf lettuce and then that placed on a large croissant was good, the sandwich would’ve been better if it was actually made like a sandwich. Maybe even cut it in half. Really disappointed and not worth the price.

Found Vagabond Blues on a whim. What a gem!! Our breakfasts were fabulous; quiches, breakfast burritos, ham & Swiss croissant and so many sweet treats. The lattes we so pretty and delicious! Thank you for accommodating our party of eight. We also enjoyed chatting with the local coffee guys getting pointers on our trip.

Spacious coffee shop with a cozy feeling. Excellent place to grab an espresso based drink and locally made pastry (or more!). Fnd a table with friends or a corner to retreat in - read or get lost online. The espresso is excellent, dark with a good balance of nutty andcsweet finish.

Stopped here on our last afternoon in the area for a quick lunch, and we really enjoyed it. It has a great view of the mountains. Hubby got a panini that was huge and delicious. I ordered a bowl of the lentil stew. Flavors were good, but it needed salt. The cookies were huge and yummy. Would recommend.

We stopped for some coffee and food. Very popular and busy on a Saturday morning but the line moved pretty fast. Food was great! Kids liked the free books in the hallway.

I came here with a group prior to our day trip out to the glacier. We wanted a quick place to stop and get breakfast before our drive. The restaurant is laid back and inviting, with exciting decor from Alaska throughout. There were all types of people dining from locals to tourists such as my group. Service was good and the staff was friendly. Ordering is done at a counter and they bring your food to your table and seat you when it is ready. The Breakfast Burrito was amazing and the perfect way to start the morning. They offer it in varying flavors/meats. If you haven't yet had Reindeer in Alaska, here's a great place to try it. The burrito was nicely pressed to give the shell a crispy texture. Overall, it was a great quick stop and a nice way to support a local place.

A great place to meet friends for coffee and a breakfast burrito. Personally I like the reindeer sausage breakfast burrito the best. If you rather have something sweet then you'll find a huge selection of cookies to cinnamon rolls. The coffee and food tastes great, but the service is a little slow. If you don't have your food in 5 minutes then you need to speak with the barista. Table service here, so have patience.

I could eat The Matanuska everyday - so delicious! The cookies were just ok - if you want the absolute best cookies around, walk a couple blocks to The Baddest Batch! A little frustrating that when we ordered the Lunch Combo, we were asked if we wanted a cup or bowl; we chose the bowl, then when the order came out we didn't get any bread and we found out we had been charged separately for the items and no bread was offered. If the bowl isn't an option for the Lunch Combo, don't ask if you'd like a cup or bowl. Plenty of seating inside if you want to dine-in, plus there's a little shop across the hall if you're looking for some unique and local handicrafts.

Fun little ale house! Visiting from the lower 48 where big hand cut steak fries are just not found any more. We were pleasantly surprised that they exist here. The halibut taco was great and I enjoyed experiencing a local IPA. Our waitress was very helpful in the choice! Everything looks great here and the outdoor entertainment area looks super fun. Highly recommend for a fun day or night out.

In general I go with the pizza, burgers or other sandwiches. However, their salads are really good and Large as well. The number #1 reason I come here is for the environment, both inside and outside, it’s relaxing and fun with friends and family. Staff is always extremely helpful and good service. But my real secret is the fantastic large selection of local beers and my absolute favorite hazy IPA on the menu No Woman No Cory! Great fun environment inside as well with guitars and other decor! All of these categories considered, it is hands-down, the best restaurant to go to in Palmer!

Great customer service for a table of 12, quesadilla and pulled pork Macaroni and cheese was delicious, another top favorite is the black and blue fries. Drink selection is great as well.

Great Location, Food, and Service by JESS! The restaurant was clean and well staffed by friendly employees. Restrooms were available and clean. The Menu has something for everyone and the Portions were above par and cooked as ordered. The Pizza was very good as was the rest of our order. The Beer list is extensive and they have a nice cocktail offering. It also has some nice History. In the area give them a try

The food is consistently pretty great here. But for my issue described below, I would probably give it 5 stars. My one issue when I went for lunch recently was that I paid almost $18 for a Philly Cheesesteak that had very little steak, and that felt like a pretty high price for mostly bread and cheese. That being said, the sandwich wasn't bad, just was a bit underwhelming. We also ordered the pizza and mac & cheese, which were both excellent. Service was a little lacking when it came to getting refills on beer / drinks, but there is a staffing shortage due to COVID so we didn't get too upset - just keep this in mind when ordering. One thing to keep in mind is that no one, including staff, was really wearing masks or seamed to care about social distancing. So keep that in mind if you are COVID conscious during the current surge in Alaska.

This place was fantastic! It was our first time here. Service was amazing. I can't recommend their blue cheese dressing highly enough...the Cajun blue cheese fries were to die for! All food and drinks were delicious. I highly recommend!

Galina our server was amazing. She was attentive, preemptive and gracious. The Margarita and Pizza was 5 stars wonderful. Thank you Galina for your attentiveness and hospitality. I will return mainly because Galina made me feel happy to have me. A place which acknowledges you for more than just a paying customer says a lot.

The atmosphere here is neat. It almost has an antique type feel to it. The few times we have ordered from here, we have had the burgers and fries. The pizzas I see scattered about on the tables look pretty good as well and will order one of these next time. We sat at a table by the kitchen, and they were busy back there. They must be a little short staffed as the line cook had to yell for waitresses or runners as the orders started to line up. One thing I enjoy at a restaurant is when you run out of your drink, the waitresses is right there with a refill or asking if you want a refill, that did not happen here. the waitresses were very very busy here. Parking here is along the street with a few spots in the parking lot. Prices are fair. They seem to have quite a selection of local beers, although we did not consume any alcohol. I mean, who does not enjoy pizza with beer, right? Need to get out of Anchorage for a little while? Come here for lunch, I highly recommend this place and will be back for the pizza next time.

I have attempted to love this place. I contemplated long and thought deeply about this review based on several visits. The GOOD: This restaurant is charming inside, and the bar is long and can accommodate several walk-ins. There is a decent selection of beer, and the cocktails are usually a hit. The exterior seating area is the major win!👌 Well done. The views, the stage, and the fire pits are welcoming and make you want to stay longer, especially on warm sunny days. They also do concerts and are a significant place for entertainment in Palmer. The SO-SO: Service is a hit-and-miss. Sometimes you get a fantastic server; other times, you get the one that forgets you, and other times the one that's just OK. Really, that's any restaurant, so I am not too upset here. The BAD: The food. The only thing on the menu that is somewhat consistent is the pizza. Out of the several visits over the last five years, it is so inconsistent that I don't know why I came back for this last visit. The fries were so greasy, the burger that was supposed to be spicy wasn't. The kids' burger is more like a slider, and we felt the server should have advised us that for an 11-year kid, perhaps the burger is just a slider. I can't reasonably come back for the food. Overall, I'll return for the events, but the food is out of the question.

Finding parking during busy hours is tough. There are multiple locations for parking. There is every kind of sport game playing which is so convienent. The food is great, the atmosphere is always lively, and the waiters and waitresses are always fun and you can tell they love where they work. Always rotating their tap which makes it so fun for tastings. Love this place.

Great little ale house with a variety of local craft beers on tap. Had their outlaw burger and it was very good! Large portion size, very flavorful. The fries were fantastic! If you are in the Anchorage area, and looking for a great little Taste Tour, then make the short drive to Palmer and enjoy dinner and a brew!

I recently had lunch at the Palmer Ale House and not only was the food delicious, but the service provided by Lindsey, Corey, and another staff member whose name escapes me was truly exceptional. Notably, when days later I requested a copy of the receipt, they went above and beyond to track it down for me. Their attentiveness and willingness to assist me was above and beyond. Overall, I highly recommend the Palmer Ale House for anyone looking for fantastic food paired with great service. I will definitely be returning in the near future!

Palmer ale house has its own laid back vibe the food was good. As usual we arrived late 20 mins to closing. The hostess promptly sat as at a table by the window without any hesitation. Comfortable with many screens to look at. And a ton of beers on tap I had a drink called the frequent flyer very blue and very tasty.

Spectacular. Couldn't get enough of the samples so I took some to go! I loved how I got to combine tap flavors to make my desired kombucha. What a splendid time at the bar listening to live music and casually chatting to the brewer and other employees

Staff was friendly and super helpful and informational about the teas, juices, and kombuchas! They offer samples for the juices and kombuchas which is awesome when trying kombuchas in my opinion. They also clearly explained the process about buying and refills, definitely could tell they wanted to make sure you knew before purchasing so there wasn't a surprise when you rung out. Cool little place and will definitely be returning!

We came here twice during our brief stay in the Palmer area. This is such a cool place with delicious Kombucha. My personal favorite was the Pink Lemonade, while my husband's favorite the Maple Persimmon seasonal option. The staff was very friendly, and the location is great. It was next door to a gift shop that we got a lot of unique and local gifts. Highly recommend.

The Kombucha here is NOTHING like the store-bought Kombucha I've had to date. Absolutely the best Kombucha I've ever had! Unique model where you can sample a variety of flavors, then just sit and sip some favorites in a chill atmosphere. They even have a little corner with kids' toys and books. Highly recommend visiting, especially if you're new to Kombucha!

If you're a lover of kombucha, this place is for you. Can't say for the other things they have because I didn't have any of it but I'm sure it is all fantastic. Oh and to top it off, the employees are such great people.

I'm not a big fan of kombucha but the two I tried here were delicious! The pink lemonade and rhubarb drinks were so good and if I'm in the Palmer area again I will absolutely come back! Service was welcoming and the atmosphere was unique!

Great local place to hang and drink fantastic on-site brewed Kobucha. Limited seasonal brews with local / geographical ingredients are a plus! Bring kids, look for open mic and chess nights are a few additional perks.

THE BEST KOMBUCHA I'VE EVER HAD! A kombucha that was not only palatable but delicious! I didn't like kombucha until I came here. I would always try it, but it would be too vinegary and sour. I did a flight and my favorite kombucha was the crow berry. I liked it so much, I got two small bottles to take back to my hotel. Five stars! Highly recommend. I'd go back. This place is worth the visit. You won't be sorry.

I so glad I got to stop in here. I met Brian and Anthony. They are fun and very knowledgeable. I got to try a few different Kombucha teas and then I tried ate one of thr best things I have ate ... it was their avocado toast. Oh man. So yummy. So go eat, drink and have a good time. You won't regret it.

The staff is super nice, it has a very nice niche atmosphere with kombucha made locally! Their avocado toast is also very well done and totally worth the price. If you're into kombucha or coffee, this is the place to stop by for sure.

Brian and David the owners are amazing, they love to truly connect and help fill their customers with love. Records are available to choose from to set the mood. I highly recommend a flight of all the flavors and a small pint of the small batch. The avocado toast is excellent.

Love this place for work and the evening events! The kombucha is awesome too, and I love that they don't use to-go cups for anything.

A fabulously diverse selection of small batch kombucha with regional, seasonly inspired flavors. The “sappy sour” was my favorite - nice bite with a smooth finish. The owner greeted us like longtime friends and let us taste a new batch straight from the barrel. LPO
