    After some online research on places we should eat at while in Anchorage one restaurant kept popping up. Artic Roadrunner was a 'must try' place. Wow, we were glad we did. It's a really busy place so don't be surprised at a little crowd. You order at the counter where they give you a number while the food is cooked. It's a 'hopping' place, sometimes a bit chaotic, but it's worth the wait. The burgers are amazing. But the best part, the Onion Pieces (not the standard, food service onion rings). These are a food group until themselves. They are AMAZING. The restaurant is large and has plenty of seating. If you're in Anchorage, join the locals and try the Artic Roadrunner.

    Arctic Roadrunner is an Alaskan Landmark. Located on The Old Seward highway on the beautiful bank of Campbell Creek. There is plenty of outdoor eating to enjoy thar beautiful 65 degree weather. Indoor is iconic with picture and replica scatter throughout. This place is a fast food joint, there's no other way to describe it. But it's a great fast food restaurant. They cook your food while you wait so it take a little time. And the food is really good. Sorry no food pics or table was rarher crowded and our friend and use were playing a card game. This place moves the people through because a lot of people come here. It's an Anchorage icon. Do yourself a favor and enjoy it. Will I go back? Hell yes and you will too.

    How in the world had I not found this place! Been to Anchorage ten times in last seven years and never found this gem till today which is my last day of a 14 day trip for work. This place is amazing! Service was top notch, kids working counter were nice polite. There was a line but that is a good sign! Will be back next trip for sure, amazing atmosphere all around. Burger was cooked perfect and bacon was abundant and not two little limp slices but six pieces of crispy bacon like it should be on a Bacon Cheeseburger!
