Peggy's Restaurant

We were driving and just figuring out that the airport that had the Cessna 152s was not the airport that we flew in on a Boeing 767 on when we saw a sign that said "Peggy's Restaurant" and it was cool and old. Then I saw magic: "FAMOUS PIES". I did a U turn in front of the airport and bounced into their parking lot. My wife was working on figuring out about downloading offline maps on Google so I just ran in and didn't quite expect what I ran into. It was SO AMAZING. Nancy owns Peggy's. Still making Peggy's Pies exactly according to the original recipe. When I walked in, everyone in the place About 4 people, all turned around and looked directly at me. Nancy, walks over and GRABS MY ARM!!! Seriously. She grabbed my left forearm with her right hand and gripped it FIRMLY, and said "What can I get for you young man!". People don't touch people anymore. They especially don't arm grab. I kinda liked it.. So... What!? Young man!! I need my wife in here immediately. I told Nancy about the sign I saw for pie, my love for pie, and that I wanted to buy pie from her. She was so excited! I was too! Oh, and none of us had masks on except for one guy in the back. I told Nancy that I just wanted her to give me 3 pieces of pie that would make me want to leave an incredible review, and I really did go out to get my wife. I don't need a sweet Asian lady who can cook hitting on me at this stage in my life. So, my wife came in with me and we almost melted. The people started all talking to us. One lady was clapping for us and just carrying on because she was so excited to talk to new people. They were all precious. We got a piece of pecan pie, blueberry pie, and rhubarb pie. All 3 were spectacular. We saw the peak of Denali after waiting 3 days in the rain for it to shine. We slept in a campervan in a riverbed under a glacier, we walked the streets of Talkeetna, and of course we went back for 2 more slices of Peggy's Pies before leaving Alaska for now. See you again soon! What an amazing trip!

If I could I would rate the entire experience a 10! One of the oldest restaurants in Anchorage alaska. Great retro lunch counter. Fabulous food, mostly homemade! I love the all-day breakfast. I had a four egg omelette with reindeer sausage and swiss cheese. The pies are to die for. Parking: Lots of spots both front and back. Easy access to the street. Kid-friendliness: Nice children's menu and comfortable setting. Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't see any steps.

Ok local Diner for a breakfast. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but not bad food. The waitress got our orders mixed up, she was very nice. Parking is good.

Excellent food! The atmosphere was diner/homey and the waitresses were attentive and friendly! We would go back.

Good food and polite servers. The outside is a bit shabby, but don't let that turn you off. Interior and bathrooms are clean. The portions are really big. Wait time was a little long, even though there were only a few other people in the restaurant.

An Anchorage treasure, known for their ridiculously yummy pies. The menu is everything you might expect from a authentic diner. You can sit at the counter with the locals or take a window seat and watch the planes take off from Merrill Field across the street. The staff is extremely friendly and they are quick!

This classic Anchorage restaurant isn't what it was a few years ago. The food is typical American food, and the portions were generous but not very imaginative. I had the chef salad, which was on iceberg lettuce, with turkey and ham julienne strips and sandwich style cheese. Sandwiches were also very typical, BLT and soup. The soup was cold for my friend, which she commented about to waitress who promptly rewarmed it. All in all the food was good but not great. They still have their signature Pies for sale. I didn't have any, but my friend did take two slices home from the display case. They looked excellent. Kid-friendliness: I didn't see any kids while there, but they were prepared for them and surroundings easily would handle them.

One thing I marked down a star for was the problem with undermanned help. Suzi our waitress was absolutely wonderful. She rushed her little heart out to do what ever she could and she was above and beyond. But she couldn’t do everything by herself. She had a great attitude and was the shining star of Peggy’s. That said. The food and everything would have been better with the manning. We had breakfast. Eggs pancakes biscuits hash browns sausage and bacon was really good. Had some house made rubbar jelly that was pretty good. Sorry but can’t be better than my moms. Anyway a good place to try. Ask for Suzi!

Very inviting by sitting anywhere you please, the customer service is very professional, the foods is very delicious and hot, they even make custom orders if wanted! They made me a double bacon cheese burger even it was not on the menu, which was bomb! Def will be eating here and making it one of me regulars!

I was looking for an old fashioned diner and this place didn't disappoint. Good food and big portions at a reasonable price, friendly staff.
