Had the smoked salmon chowder and it was delicious. One of the best chowder I've ever had. We also had the blackened halibut which was also very yummy. We ate breakfast the next morning before we headed out. My husband had the chicken fried steak and says it was the most tender he's ever had. I had the eggs with reindeer sausage which was also very good

We had sausage biscuits and gravy for breakfast. It was fantastic, but the portions are large. Next time we can share on meal. Staff was excellent and very friendly.
The food is great for a wilderness lodge, great ambiance and service. Lots of things to do, Russian River fishing, kenai river fishing, quartz creek too.
Cute rustic roadhouse setting. Gwen's has a great breakfast menu. Our food was served hot and was delicious.
I would have given Gwen's a 5 rating, but our waitress was either having a bad day or wasn't awake yet. She gave my breakfast to someone else which ended up with me having bacon instead of sausage and she overcharged our bill. When the mistakes were brought to her attention, she very quickly apologized and corrected the issue.
With two others I went to Gwins Restaurant in Coopers Landing, AK. On Sunday August 14th at 1:00p. After a few days of fishing in Homer we rolled through Coopers Landing hungry and tired. We went in appearance was nice. We sat down with only 4 other customers ordering food. We sat there for 10 minutes without getting greeted by a staff member. We had to flag down the waitress for menus.Food looked pricey on the menu. Through the next 15 minutes of waiting for the waitress to come back, two other couples came in and sat down for several minutes without being greeted by a waitress as well. They decided to be a little less patient and they got up and walked out. Us as well didn't want to wait any longer. We got up and left and ate at Sunrise Inn. Sunrise Inn had great service and food. Gwins-Terrible Service, less than impressed, we had to walk
You were there 25 minutes without putting an order in per your statement. People were ordering and finished with their tickets in 26 to 34 minutes during that period. The server on duty, Amelia, at that specific time gets high praises regularly including today. There was also a second server Sheridan. Amelia took an order for our huge delicious Angus 1/2 lb. burger at the time you state, and they were done eating and had closed their ticket just 34 minutes later. I am sorry if this happened but I see you have zero other reviews and endorse a competitor by name. We strive to greet people promptly even if we can't get to them right away which WILL happen when we are swamped. When I investigated this complaint, one of our servers said she has waited 15 minutes AT the competition before someone greeted her and brought her a menu. This is a remote area with variable business levels and limited staff. Please understand we are doing our best and it can be quite stressful at times.
