Mom's Kitchen - Fairbanks

Where do I begin? First, the food is fantastic! Secondly, it's a bit unusual. And third, it's completely unexpected! Don't let the shabby barroom atmosphere deter you—there's actually a great food experience to be had in this little gem. Head to the window at the back to place your order, but be prepared; the extensive menu can be overwhelming with over 700 options, featuring everything from classic American dishes to Asian and Italian cuisines.

I visited this place to satisfy my craving for wings, and I was not disappointed. The wings were crispy, juicy, and generously coated with a delicious buffalo sauce. I also tried their large spicy yellow curry, which was fantastic. The restaurant is situated in a bar, so keep that in mind, but the food, service, and prices were all excellent.

So disappointed. A $55 order and half hour meals were burnt. The pasta was so drenched in Parmesan it came looking like soup, but somehow it had no flavor and the chicken was so dry it was almost like cardboard. It wasn't like this when it first opened but I guess things have really gone downhill. Receiving that poor quality of food and thinking of what I paid for it made me feel awful.

I had the Mom’s Lava Burger with fries ($13.75), and it was so delicious that I ended up eating it in the parking lot! I had intended to take it home, but I couldn't resist after just one bite—I finished the entire thing! The fries were really great too, and the bun was a sesame seed one. Next time, I’ll definitely ask for extra pickles and tomatoes because I really enjoy them. The service was impressively quick; it only took 12 minutes to get two burgers. They also gave us plenty of napkins and ketchup. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to satisfy their burger cravings!

Fantastic dining experience with outstanding service! I'll definitely be returning. The prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are generous. Plus, it’s very kid-friendly!
