"We were camping in Denali Village for a couple of nights, and had been to my personal best restaurant there the night before, so i searched Yelp for something suitable for the 2nd night dining. 49th State Brewing got 4.3 stars so i thought it was acceptable. Anyway, the weather was pathetic and raining heavily, so no one was dining outside this (Friday) evening. That means of course there's a huge crowd in the dining room, and we were told there was a 45 minute wait for a table. I asked if bar seating was available, and it was, so we sat there. Th dining room itself is fairly nice, but of course being at the bar means you don't see too much of it, and all i could see were taps and bottles and a wall lined with birch trees. Ok then. I must say that the bar seating is cramped, and my elbows were hitting the person next to me a lot. I ordered a chicken bowl of some kind, and husband got a half rack of ribs. I got Strawberry Thyme lemonade, he got an IPA of some kind, i don't know, i don't drink alcohol. Food came out in due course, it was ok, chicken was tender, and whatever else was in the bowl was ok too. Nothing special, not bad, but not memorable either. He said his ribs were ok, but i saw the meat was falling off the bone, and good and juicy, which is my kind of rib. Service was prompt, and i got to see a lot of alcohol based action cocktails being mixed, flights being prepared, too foamy pours being discarded quite busy behind the bar. I think had i been able to sit at a table and have some room, and not feel cramped, I'd have given 4 stars instead of 3. Additionally, this is one of the 3 places i was at, during our stay (Moose AKa's, Denali Park Cafe, being the other 2) where i may have caught Covid which descended upon me the day i got home. This however, was by far the closest proximity I'd been to other people. I was informed by the doc there's a new variant going around that's highly contagious. I do think there needs to be more space between the bar stools for this reason."

"I would have given this review 5 stars but the service was just a touch under par. I?m flagging this as being a very busy day for the brewery and probably not a usual occurrence. The beer was cold, delicious, and they had a plentiful selection of the good stuff. The food was really quite good but dreadfully over priced. If your a family of 5 for lunch expect a bill north of $200 without considering a tip. I want to love this place because it?s got an amazing vibe and the staff was really very good in the end. All in all a solid local brewery."

"On our way to Fairbanks, we stopped at Rose’s for breakfast. We figured it was a good place to eat since all of the vehicles in the parking lot were pick-ups. We walked in, past the community announcement board, and were seated quickly. A very large and interesting menu, but we were interested in only breakfast. We ordered 2 coffees, a Denali omelette and a meat eaters omelette. You had multiple options for a side and we both ordered sourdough french toast. All I can say is WOW!! There were families, couples and singles filling the tables. I was amazed when a couple came in and there were no empty tables. The waitress asked an older gentleman if he would mind sharing his table. He obliged quickly and they joined him with smiles all around. This was a wonderful experience and if back, will return."

"Great American diner. Food fabulous. I'll never get used to being asked so many questions about my breakfast, everything is optional. When you are used to either a full or a mini breakfast, with no options, the 20 questions is quite an ordeal. I'm not used to choice, and having to think in the morning. So it's eggs sunny side up, linked sausages and french toast, all choices I wouldn't get at home. I'll find out when they open in the morning, we'll come back."
