Ak Alchemist - Anchorage

Best french fries in Anchorage. Holy cow. These are delicious. The cheese fries are 1,000,000 cal of delicious with a little bit of shredded cheese and lots of nacho cheese sauce. Staff is friendly and helpful. One order of fries is enough for two people.

Seriously the best French fries in anchorage! The cheese fries are phenomenal with loads of cheese and the regular fries are just as good, no dip even needed!

The coffee isn 't horrible but the owner is. I stopped on his property, while walking to work, at the time it says they are opened, and got yelled at to get the **** off [his] property because I asked if they were opened, paused, and then asked when they might open. I had an hour to kill. I work security for a living and customer service is a huge part of my job. I 'm actually the lead security officer at a nice hotel. I will never go back to this joint. I won 't even step foot on the property. Better yet, I have purchased coffee here before and it 's OK. You can get better and faster elsewhere. I was going to make it a regular stop on the way to work because it 's one of a few places open before 7 in this neck of the woods but now I wouldn 't even recommend it to my worst enemy. I found another place a bit more out of the way I 'll be going to.

I ate the Reindeer Crunchwrap. Tasted really good with a lot of flavor. Bad thing was, the meat was dripping with grease. The crunch was nonexistent from the chips soaking in grease and the bottom of the tortilla was solid gold from the grease. I originally thought the bottom was grilled with cheese on it to give it the color, but no, it was grease from the meat. I had to eat it with paper towels and a pool had formed from grease when I was finished. Also had the fried pickles. Perfect, no complaints. Had a Cafe Mocha, somehow, this tasted weird/gross. Hard to describe, but a very earthy-dirt flavor. I couldn 't finish it. Even though the food tasted good, the grease and mocha just put me off. I know I didn 't order the most healthy items, but they could have been prepared much better. 99% will not return.

This photo isn't excellent, but it's EXACTLY what a breakfast sandwich should look like. Peak performance of a breakfast sando. The donut bun is killer, paired with the slightly spicy reindeer sausage takes it next level. As of apparently everywhere in Anchorage and Alaska, A+ breve.
