Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse

First of all Fiona and Catherine were excellent servers at the bar where we sat. We watched them work so hard and be so pleasant. The food was excellent. We had the halibut tacos and the halibut burger and both were great. The place was very busy but had a great vibe. It’s a restaurant and sports bar. It’s not loud so you are able to talk. We were not there when there was live music. We went on a Wednesday night.

I visited with a group of friends on a warm day after getting recommendations from several people. The best part of the restaurant is the covered patio which very few bars and restaurants in Anchorage have. The place was about 2/3 full but it felt very understaffed with dirty tables, empty condiments and a 30+ minute wait for food. I got the fish and chips which were fine but pricey $35 for halibut, I’d say that F Street Station down the road has fish and chips that are just as good if not better for half the price.

So good! The smoked salmon chowder was out of this world. Halibut lightly blackened that our waitress recommended was best halibut ever. Best meal I had in awhile. If I lived here I’d go probably once a week…ohh, and the berry dessert with vanilla ice cream was really the perfect way to finish the meal

Cool spot with hole in the wall vibes. The service was a bit slow. The food was worth it. The king crab was perfect. The reindeer corndogs were good but very filling. Definitely worth a stop in.

The salmon chowder was absolutely the highlight—rich, flavorful, and perfectly done. I also ordered the salmon fettuccine, but unfortunately, it was far too salty for my taste. The restaurant was very busy, which may have impacted the service, as it felt a bit slow and inattentive. Overall, a mixed experience great chowder, but the rest didn’t quite meet expectations.
