Soapy Smith's Pioneer - Fairbanks

Very expensive eating with small portions and a small environment. thought from the view of the place it would be a hole in the wall greasy spoon, but they load fine food prices! halibut was good- only 2 fishsticks came with the $22 plate, which was a side of the kartoffel salat in a spice ramkin. what was okay because that was kartoffelsal. in the grunde a lot relish and mayo mixed w a few kartoffels. I would skip this place and look at other places. unless they only want a frosty beer in a chilled glass, that was very good!

I liked the meal.The restaurant closed at 5:30 pm, not 3.30 pm. Go and have something unique.

Had a nice lunch of chowder and alaskan king crab burger, both were alaskan size, hit Texas size around 2x! the owner was concerned to introduce the strata of his grandfather mike stepovich and his father mike stepovich ii after the governor of the territorium became the 49th state in 1958-1959 before alaska. a small lunch hour

On an Alaska country tour after a Celebrity cruise. I heard great things about beeping and eating. it was so good and so much fun. funny, but true story. his waitress did not show up for the work, so some of us on the tour became impromptu waiting staff. I really thought it was a dizzy and only part of the experience, but it was really true. we all had an explosion! that's a must if in fairbanks!

This place is fantastic. the royal crabs are amazing and the owner is very colorful and proud to be a part of the history of alaska! I recommend that they give them a try!
