Housed in a historic building right on Main Street, the West Rib Pub & Grill has been a long standing local favorite.
The salads, burgers, and ribs are the basic go to lunch and dinner. It is a bar, so sip on a cold one while you wait, especially when it is extremely busy in the summer months.
The giant Alaskan burger is a feat unto it self, and if you eat the monstrosity, you get a free tee-shirt. If you are one of the 1200 mountaineers that attempt to climb Denali each year, this may be for you once you are off the mountain.
The ambiance is a funky blend of Alaska homemade style inside the rustic historical building. This place is a local favorite, so stick around in the evening if you enjoy the bar nightlife.
