Favorite Dishes

  • Breakfast Croissant
  1. Breakfast Croissant – Ham, Cheese, Scrambled eggs made to order, bacon or Reindeer all for $5.95
    • ADD the Avacodo for an upcharge but you will be glad you did!!!!

Now let me tell you about this breakfast sandwich, they cook the eggs right in front of you so they are piping hot. They then put that on a buttery croissant with cheese and your choice of protein. The cheese melts instantly so it’s a heavenly gooey mess that lasts all day if you don’t scarf it down right away.

  •  

Pil’s has other options like sandwiches hot or cold and soups, and they are all good. They are great for a packed lunch, but the breakfast Crossaint was what I can’t get enough of!

Cyrus Tip

Get the Breakfast Crossaint with the avocado it’s that Good! I Promise!

  • Famous Halibut Sandwich – Dressed with  Tarter Sause, lettuce, tomato, onions, and cheese.

Now I know what you are thinking, Halibut is not a breakfast sandwich or has anything to do with breakfast. However, Halibut in Alaska is great anytime!

This Restaurant is a great family hometown diner. It has all the staples and something for everyone. This place has been in anchorage for GENERATIONS and it’s a family favorite!

On the weekend’s Glacier Brewhouse serves up an amazing brunch! If you are a Brunch person you will be glad you stopped in! The brewhouse is known for everything on their menu. My favorite item on the menu is their Herb Crusted Halibut with a side order of fries tossed in Parmesan cheese and Herbs.
