[misssea]

Any thoughts? Seems like a great place to eat!

Yes it is great. I'm there just about every trip. Consistant over many years.

[misssea]

Lol. I forgot I had already asked this question. Oops!

My brother is a local and he says Humpy's is the place to go in Anchorage!

We have had dinners and lunch there a few times -- loved it.

I'm local and Humpy's is a whole different experience then Glacier Brewhouse. Nothing about the two are similar except they cook food. I'd recommend both.

We really enjoyed Glacier Brewhouse.

We enjoy both the Brewhouse and Humpys, but as Bearbait has already noted the two restaurants are very different.

As I have zero experience with either Glacier Brewhouse or Humpy's, I wouldn't even hazard to guess if they were at all similar...I was just under the assumption they might be similar given one is a "Brewhouse" and the other an "alehouse"! I only know my brother recommended Humpy's to me (we're hopping on a cruise to attend his wedding in Skagway) and he always seeks out un-touristy places with decent food, reasonable prices and they usually have a pretty "cool" vibe. He hasn't steered me wrong yet!

We've been to both restaurants . Glacier Brewhouse is a little more upscale while Humpeys is more casual. Both were good, but we liked Glacier Brewhouse better Their parmesan crusted halibut is most delicious! You would do best to arrive early if possible - about 4:30 - 5 pm to beat the crowds. Otherwisethere will be a wait.

Best Thai pizza ever. Can't wait to go back:cool:

Glacier Brewhouse will look a tad different this spring. They are currently closed due to remodeling and will reopen on March 21.

Is it a major re-model, or are they just upgrading some items?

It sounds as though it was primarily the bar and the kitchen area that they were concentrating on. I hope they keep the open visual kitchen.

Well, I can tell you that Humpy's will be full of all kinds of tourist come summer.

 

Trying to eat at places downtown during the summer for us locals, definitely takes some planning. I've been in Humpy's during the summer during lunch time and it's standing room only.

 

Humpy's does not take reservations. Glacier Brewhouse without reservations, the wait of an evening can be 45 minutes or longer.

I called Glacier Brewhouse and made our reservations for the end of July. I couldn't online because it's more than 90 days out but they accepted them by phone.

[goinmobile68]

Reservations-absolutely! We booked the afternoon of the weekday evening we wanted, but if you can book earlier it's probably a good idea! Loved the food!

[WeRockChalkKU]

How's the parking for either place? Say early evening in July?

 

Thanks,
