Fodor's Expert Review McKinley Creekside Cafe

$$ Glitter Gulch American

This is the place for hearty, delicious food, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. While the menu does offer some very good salads, the real treats include the mooster burger (made of locally sourced beef, as wild game can't be sold in restaurants), grilled halibut tacos, and Alaskan salmon with a rotating cast of sides and marinades. No matter how big you go on the meal, don't skip their legendary desserts. If you're in town at the start of the season, the café hosts an annual chili cook-off party for the community with live music and cheap beers.

If you're staying nearby, you can order lunches to-go for the next morning that'll be ready for pick-up by 6 am.
