“Views OK - Drinks OK - Food questionable”

The Overlook Bar and Grill

Jul 3, 2008

The fact that the place mats (paper) say "McKinley National Park" and "Katmai National Monument" on the map of Alaska (and they sell them for $1) tells you all you need to know - this place is out of the 1970s and hasn't changed (because it doesn't care). Slow service, average food, uninspired menu. The patio deck does have nice views - perhaps worth a beer and an appetizer but thats it. The fact that this place has the nerve to put $45 Crab legs on its menu is laughable - this is a 'diner/dive bar' style restaurant. Wait an hour for a burger - no problem! Better food is available elsewhere: Denali Park Visitor Center restaurant, 229 Park, the Perch... Make an effort to find a better place.

“Worst of Denali”

The Overlook Bar and Grill

Jun 7, 2008

I am not a very critical eater, but this place was NOT good. The burger was very dry, and the fries were soggy. My husband's chili was ok. The service was HORRIBLE. We had to wait 10 minutes to even get a look from the server. He finally took our order after 15 minutes of sitting there. We would have gotten up and left, but we had no clue where else to go. Definately skip it!!!

The worst service at any establishment during two week alaskan trip. Food was very mediocre. I was really disappointed. Even my kids didn't like it.

Pass on this one

After a long vertical walk up a hill, we finally arrived at the Crow's Nest. Believe me it is not worth the climb. The food was mediocre at best. Go somewhere else

A good place for dinner with great views across the valley into Denali National Park. The restaurant is rustic and lively and has a bar-style décor with sometimes tight seating, but the food was great and the service good. The restaurant will also make you a sack lunch for the next day if you request it the night before. This can be important if you are taking an all day bus trip into the park, as there are no food services once you pass the main visitor’s station. Also, check out their glacier-themed mixed drinks!
