For eating inside the park, your only option is what you carry in—and don’t forget the bear-proof food container (available at the visitor center). Just outside the park entrance, in summer, there are dozens of restaurants to choose from. In winter, do what the few year-rounders do: get your groceries in Fairbanks or Anchorage. Really.
Top-notch craft beer and plenty of food options make the 49th State Brewing Company a must when passing through Healy. Committed to using local ingredients whenever possible, the kitchen turns out plenty of Alaska-grown dishes, the keystones being the Alaskan-raised yak burger and pork ribs. More than ten in-house beers are on tap to go along with the outdoor beer garden. Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options are also available.
Built to have an old-time saloon feel, this restaurant serves a seemingly endless selection of handcrafted pizzas, salads, soups, pasta, and brick-oven sandwiches. Farm-to-table ingredients are used whenever possible and include locally grown greens, Alaska-raised meat, and seafood. Historic black-and-white photos cover every square inch of the walls and add to the character.
