Places to Eat in Fairbanks

For Breakfast, Brunch, and Lunch….

The Cookie Jar	Cute, good food, located in Fairbanks off College Rd.
Sourdough Sams	Near University; a Fairbanks’ favorite rebuilt after fire in 2009
The Chowder House	Fantastic little sandwich and quiche place with good milkshakes
Deb’s Café	Big, greasy American-style joint in Industrial area; lots of tough guys and locals
The Bakery	Another long-time popular diner located on College Rd.
Pike’s Landing	Along the river besides the Airport, an expensive but special Sunday brunch

Dinner Favorites….

The Turtle Club	The best, and BIGGEST prime rib steaks, etc; in beautiful downtown Fox; miners’ fav.
Silver Gulch Brewery	Also in Fox; good beer and good pub meals
Two Rivers	16 miles from Fairbanks, but very good Alaskan cuisine and hospitality
Gambardellas	Downtown Italian with good wine selection
The Pump House	Waterfront restaurant with great Alaskan food, but slow service
Pike’s Landing	Another riverside restaurant besides the Airport with good meals
Wolf Run	Hidden behind busy roads, a delicious upscale place for dinner or dessert
Taco Azteca	Along Airport Rd., decent and affordable Mexican

In addition, Fairbanks hosts a ridiculous 13 Thai restaurants located around town. Fairbanksan’s love Thai food, and I recommend: Thai House (downtown), Sweet Basil (S. Cushman), Bahn Thai (downtown), and Lemongrass. There’s also plenty of Chinese, Mexican, fast food and other places to fill your bellies.

Bars and Going Out…

Silver Gulch Brewery	Fairbanks’ only brewery with a nice atmosphere
The Howling Dog	Across the street, a traditional Fairbanks bar and McFarlane family favorite
Ivory Jack’s	Classic Fairbanks bar and dog mushers’ favorite along Goldstream Rd.
Lavelle’s	Downtown and upscale and large wine selection

Accomodation in Fairbanks

Here is a table of some of your options for accommodation.  Remember a lot of these places might do long stay rates so it is worth contacting them to ask if you will be in town for more than a couple of nights.  The rates indicate (generally) 2 people per room, unless otherwise stated. We have divided them into 'close to us' (i.e. close to our house, 15 minutes outside of town), 'Fox' (a small community close to us and outside of Fairbanks, with great food and a brewery!), 'Downtown', and 'Out of Town' (i.e. more than a 15 minute drive to Fairbanks).

There are also places in town to camp or park an RV, and if you are really trying to save money get in touch with us and we can talk about a few options for staying with friends, or in dry cabins (no running water).
