Atmosphere

The original Spenard location rocks a tiny, intimate setting with just a few tables inside, decorated with roller derby memorabilia and Alaska pride.

The new South Anchorage location offers more seating while maintaining the same funky vibe.

During summer months, both spots offer outdoor patio seating for those perfect Alaskan days.

Why it’s one of the best:

Tommy’s Burger Stop has earned its reputation as one of Alaska’s finest dining establishments through its award-winning burgers and unique Cajun-influenced flavors.

Since 2002, this beloved spot has consistently received accolades from major publications like Thrillist, Food Insider, and MSN Business Insider, who have crowned it the best burger joint in Alaska.

The restaurant’s success stems from its perfect combination of 100% USDA-grade beef patties, creative Cajun seasonings, and fresh ingredients served on locally-baked buns from French Oven Bakery.

What started as a tiny Spenard location with just three tables has now expanded to include a second South Anchorage spot, proving that their mouthwatering burgers and signature Cajun fries have captured the hearts (and taste buds) of both locals and tourists alike.
