H H Lakeview - Talkeetna

I wouldn 't recommend this place if you 're expecting good food for the price... Also, this place is kind of a dump, it looks like an old motel that 's been transformed into a restaurant . The best part about this place is that the burgers are good. I got the fried mushrooms and they were ok, they were kinda bland and juicy in a bad way but the ranch helped lol. Also there were multiple dogs wandering around inside that didn 't really seem to have an owner. The man who owned the place was kinda strange but not really creepy just kinda weird. If you 're looking for good food I suggest going into Talkeetna and going to Denali Brewpub.

Man...Am I glad we stumbled across this place! This incredible experience started by pulling up to their restaurant 5 minutes before they opened and noticing this place looked more like an abandoned work shop than a restaurant. But when the clock striked noon and the door swung open, we were kindly greeted by a strapped older man with a half blind dog carrying a dead mouse which I can only assume now came directly from the kitchen. Upon entering, we noticed the smoke shop on the left, and the foul smell of 40 years of cigarettes being smoked that came from the cigarette vending machine in the entryway that still seemed operable. This of course prompted the question is there smoking allowed in this restaurant and a quick response of not during restaurant hours , more on this later. Once seated, our server dressed in tight blue jeans and a sturgis shirt approached the table looking like he hadn 't slept for weeks with a look on his face like why in the world would you guys choose to eat here? asked to take our order. After quickly passing on the $55 fish and chips, yes $55 fish and chips, our family decided on a hamburger, chicken sandwich, and chicken fingers for the kid. Hamburger was fine, the chicken sandwich was equivalent to a Tyson chicken patty, and the chicken fingers were lacking chicken in them. Prior to wrapping up our meal at this fine establishment, we watched the old man mentioned earlier fire up a cigarette at the bar, as he gazed out at the lake, proud of what the H&H has become over the years. The innovation used around this place was quite inspiring, especially the 1970 's kids metal high chair with one leg being used to hold down the ice cream bucket dog water bowl to avoid it from being tipped over as he meandered through the dining room. Honestly if you keep your expectations incredibly low, and take in the beauty and sights this place has to offer, it won 't be a wasted trip, but rather an experience you 'll never forget. Just know there will be times where you need to look the other way, as there isn 't a chance in hell this restaurant would pass a food and health inspection. Upgraded to 2 stars for our most memorable lunch we 've ever had.

The French dip was hands down the most nasty thing I could have gotten I couldn't even Handle eating 2 bites and they want $15 on that

Great service. Delicious food. Beautiful view. Highly recommend. We stopped here for lunch on our way to Denali. We are a family of 4, 4 mo old and 3 yo toddler. Husband ordered the french dip and he commented as amazing, the best french dip he ever had! I had a cheese burger and thought it was a solid burger, meat was well flavored. Toddler got the grilled cheese and it was yummy as well. Rod took care of us, very nice man. My first impression was questionable because of the pool tables and bar like atmosphere but the dining hall was very comfortable and the view takes your breath away.

We loved this place.. old place, good food ..so ver Alaskan.. had a patty melt w/ fries ice tea. Husband had patty milk , He said it was great !! it was great.. friendly person that waited on us ,great view BEAUTYFUL.. can't go wrong .
