Anchor Bar & Grill

$$

A fisherman's bar, the Anchor is built for appetites and not ambience. There's a great deck outside overlooking the water, though, and the burgers and sandwiches—enormous, delicious, and made with fresh bread —are all the rage in Cordova.

Burger Bus

$

A great spot to hit after a day of fishing, the Burger Bus is just as it sounds: an old school bus converted into a kitchen, with a shack built around it, and delicious burgers on offer. The portions are big and the flavors are great. The place might look a little sore on the outside, but you can tell by the way the locals hover that it's worth the visit.

907-283–9611
Known For
  • Healthy delicious burgers
  • Great stop before or after fishing
  • Unique school-bus kitchen setup

Old Town Burgers

$$

Not every burger is created equal, and the cooks at Old Town are dead set to prove it with its collection of Hawaiian burgers, mushroom burgers, and cheeseburgers. This restaurant favored by locals also serves up food for those seeking Alaska-specific fare such as halibut sandwiches, halibut and chips, and fried salmon (perhaps the only place in the state where you can find that). Old Town opens at 5 am for breakfast but stops serving at 10 pm.

139 E. Pioneer Dr., Valdez, AK, 99686, USA
907-461–8335
Known For
  • <PRO>enormous portions of breakfast plates</PRO>
  • <PRO>best burgers in town</PRO>
  • <PRO>delicious curly fries</PRO>
