Arctic Smokehouse BBQ

I had heard some people talking about this place in regard to finding good barbecue in Alaska, and I can guarantee you it is that! We tried their Saint Louis style ribs and a number of their barbecue sauces which were all excellent. It is extremely difficult to find good quality barbecue, and I'm pretty sure the ribs were some of the juiciest and most delicious I have ever had here in Alaska. They have a nice selection and I think you'd be hard pressed to find better barbecue in the entire state.

Would be 1 ☆ but the staff was super friendly. Ribs were super dry and more like jerky. Pulled pork was dry and had to drown in sauce. Sauce was sauce. Couldn't get anyone to change out tanks for fountain drinks so...

The food was pretty good! We got the brisket and half rack of ribs with Mac and cheese, string fries, potato salad and banana pudding! Overall, I would give this place a 8/10! The staff were super friendly. I would recommend going earlier because they tend to sale out of items throughout the day! We went right at 11 and there was still a line!

So the service as far as the carver, he was very polite and nice. The atmosphere is mice as well. The brisket sandwich tbh had four slice of brisket and one slice on each was really fatty. We chucked it off. The flavor though was great. We were both not a fan of that much fat, some people maybe. The mac and cheese delicious, the beans with brisket yummy. The corn muffins a bit hard but good with the jalapeños. Just was disappointed in the sandwich, two of them with sides was $50 but would try again and aak not to have that fatty pieces.

Visiting from out of town, food was very good and portions are decent. Service was very poor. Worker behind the counter didn't speak to us at all, and expected us to know where to order. Ordered a brisket grilled cheese, and was charged a dollar for the cheese I selected, which isn't stated anywhere on the menu. They brought out our entree's and forgot about our sides, one of our group ordered the "prime brisket burger" and it was essentially a plain burger (way over priced), and lady at the counter was rude when we went up to ask if we had received the correct burger. Good food but please teach your staff some form of customer service skills.
