Our favorite local restaurants. So many options but these are our go-tos.
Typically good brewpub style food and Matanuska Brewing Company’s beer selection on tap. Summer weather brings the opening of their outdoor area in the back parking lot that typically features live music and axe throwing with a reduced food and beverage menu available to enjoy in the sunshine.
