Where to Eat in Fairbanks, Alaska

Where to Eat in Fairbanks, Alaska

Living in a small town means you get the options you get. However, with Fairbanks being a military town, we have people from all over the world bringing their talents and food culture with them. While we have the usual restaurants and fast-food chains, the real gems are our mom-and-pop shops. They serve the BEST food, each with its own unique flair. I’ve categorized the best places I know based on different types of cuisine. I can’t guarantee the service on any given day, but I can tell you where to find great food!
