Canyon Ridge Grill – Premier American Dining in Denali National Park, Alaska

Food here was excellent. Good choices of appetizers, entrees and deserts. Would definitely say food was five star quality. The prices were high, but very worth it. Probably the best meal we had in Alaska. Service was good, friendly and attentive. Only knock it down by one star as the atmosphere did not match the service and quality of the food. It feels a bit like a ski lodge setting versus fine dining. Definitely would recommend this place.

Stopped by the Canyon Ridge Grill for breakfast. The service was excellent from the hostess to the waitresses/waiters. I liked the cozy atmosphere and calm setting. I got the make your own omelet with sausage, onions, peppers and swiss cheese and loved it. The toast was great with the strawberry jam and the potatoes were also very good on the side. Would also recommend the cranberry juice. Very tasty breakfast spot.

Very nice atmosphere with plenty of seating, a good size separated bar and a nice outdoor deck. Service is well kept, clean and attentive. Food comes quickly and is presented very nice. They have a wide selection of wines that the servers are happy to suggest pairings as well as a good selection of beer and spirits.

Food was not included as a part of our Princess cruise land package. Had breakfast here the morning we left for the train to Whittier Alaska. The food was well prepared, and the server was very nice. Servers are often foreigners who come to this remote lodge to work for the summer. Without exception, they were always really friendly and nice. I didn’t think the prices were outrageous considering we were in absolutely the middle of nowhere and they have to ship all this food in probably from Anchorage or after it’s flown into Fairbanks. When you consider that, the prices were quite reasonable.

Delicious. I had crab cakes and filet. Perfectly medium rare. So great. My husband had prime rib also perfect. Great dinner and highly recommend. Cheap, waitress was great.

Fun place with great food and views. We enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, and more. Big portions and the service was professional and attentive. Lots of open space between tables and you can go out on the deck to enjoy the views. We left full and happy!

Stopped after a long train ride. Food was pretty good, service was amazing. It was super quiet.

Went to Canyon Ridge Grill and let’s just say it was something special! I started with an apple juice and it had tons of flavor. Definitely a 5/5! Next I ordered the homestead meal with reindeer sausage and white toast. The white toast came with butter and jam, combined the two and it was marvelous! The toast wasn’t too hard and not too floppy. A easy 5/5! The potatoes on the side were also very tender and tasty, would order more. 5/5! The eggs got them scrambled and was delicious but a tide bit bland. I needed to add some salt and pepper to make it have some flavor. Other than that was very good. 4.5/5! Lastly, it was the reindeer sausage. The sausage wasn’t terrible and I ate the whole thing. However, I thought the sausage was too meaty, more than a sausage should normally be. It also had a little kick to it and in my opinion a bit chewy. 3.5/5! The sausage is indeed good, but not for me. Next up is the service. It was very nice and they were respectful 5/5. The atmosphere was great, a massive window looking to the mountains. 5/5! If I could this restaurant would be an overall 4.5/5 and I only gave it a 4/5 cause of the sausage. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!!
