Anchorage residents say eating here is worth the one-hour drive south to Girdwood and the inevitable wait for dinner—you can usually find a spot at the bar, order an appetizer while you wait, and choose from one of their 22 martinis or a local draft beer. It's very noisy, and the interior is completely covered with tacky art and Mardi Gras souvenirs of all types, but the windows frame views of huge Sitka spruce trees. The diverse menu mixes hearty Cajun-style meals with such favorites as garlic seafood pasta, rack of lamb, French pepper steak, and lobster kebabs. For dessert lovers, the biggest attraction is the gooey, chocolate-rich Double Musky pie. The restaurant and lounge are both smoke-free.

I am visiting Anchorage from Charleston, South Carolina. I have been to many restaurants, and the double musky inn is the best restaurant I have ever eaten at by far. Yes there was about a 40 minute wait, but it was more than worth it. The food is spectacular, the wait staff was fantastic, and the food was out of this world. Do not leave anchorage without taking the most beautiful drive in the world to the most superior restaurant!
