I really like this place. I'm suprised by the reviews. It has a great greasy breakfast. Don't eat here if you're looking for a dainty pita wrap, but if you want a greasy spoon meal, this is your place. more

The most over-hyped restaurant I have eaten at. What they lack in quality, they make up for in quantity. more

The food was fine, the bartender was a horrible person though. She was filthy, and found her hair in my drink. When this was mentioned, she made a smart comment back. Then she turned to I guess a local and began discussing her drinking episodes the night before. I would not recommend this restaurant. What good is great food if... more

This place is big on decor--an interesting mix of old photos, stuffed wildlife, and other random Alaskana. However, the food can only be described as low-quality and overpriced. I ordered a chicken salad; what I got was iceberg lettuce, big chunks of cucumbers and tomatoes, very dry strips of chicken, and about a cup of ranch dressing (on the side,... more

There's probably no real cooking that goes on here, and my advice is to skip it. The food is really poor quality. The facility is run down. But our waiter was very pleasant. more

Kinda greasy, kinda dirty, but damn the sourdough pancakes are worth brunch a couple of times a year ... I just try not to think about what little "extras" I'm getting in my meal. more

This was the worst food we had in Alaska!!! My crab imperial was smothered in a canned cheese sauce - with olives, a hard boiled egg & cold asparagus on top. My husband's meat loaf was not edible. Stay away from this place!! more

We stopped in on Friday May 23rd for breakfast. After waiting 20 minutes to be seated after we were told only 5 minutes, we were seated upstairs. We sat and looked over the menu. At any point at Gwennies did anyone come by the table to service us or acknowledge us as customers. Another couple came in after us waiting... more
