Peggy's Restaurant

Absolutely the best for all food, service, environment, reasonable prices. I can’t say enough! We ate breakfast at @ noon on Friday, May 27, 2022. The rest of the menu looked awesome. They make a lot of items from “ scratch.” All yummy. I had home made jam on my sourdough toast. Peggy’s has been here since 1944, and there is a bit of movie history to the place. It’s across the street from a small aircraft airport. It’s the place where pilots would have a good meal before or after a flight since 1944.

We were driving and just figuring out that the airport that had the Cessna 152s was not the airport that we flew in on a Boeing 767 on when we saw a sign that said "Peggy's Restaurant" and it was cool and old. Then I saw magic: "FAMOUS PIES". I did a U turn in front of the airport and bounced into their parking lot. My wife was working on figuring out about downloading offline maps on Google so I just ran in and didn't quite expect what I ran into. It was SO AMAZING. Nancy owns Peggy's. Still making Peggy's Pies exactly according to the original recipe. When I walked in, everyone in the place (About 4 people), all turned around and looked directly at me. Nancy, walks over and GRABS MY ARM!!! Seriously. She grabbed my left forearm with her right hand and gripped it FIRMLY, and said "What can I get for you young man!". People don't touch people anymore. They especially don't arm grab. I kinda liked it.. So... What!? Young man!! I need my wife in here immediately. I told Nancy about the sign I saw for pie, my love for pie, and that I wanted to buy pie from her. She was so excited! I was too! Oh, and none of us had masks on except for one guy in the back. I told Nancy that I just wanted her to give me 3 pieces of pie that would make me want to leave an incredible review, and I really did go out to get my wife. I don't need a sweet Asian lady who can cook hitting on me at this stage in my life. So, my wife came in with me and we almost melted. The people started all talking to us. One lady was clapping for us and just carrying on because she was so excited to talk to new people. They were all precious. We got a piece of pecan pie, blueberry pie, and rhubarb pie. All 3 were spectacular. We saw the peak of Denali after waiting 3 days in the rain for it to shine. We slept in a campervan in a riverbed under a glacier, we walked the streets of Talkeetna, and of course we went back for 2 more slices of Peggy's Pies before leaving Alaska for now. See you again soon! What an amazing trip!

My husband and I went to breakfast on Sunday and we were both very disappointed in our food. My husband had biscuit and gravy and it was horrible tasting and I the pancake combo and the pancake syrup was stuck on the bottom of the bottle and what little bit of syrup that I was able to get out of the bottle made the pancakes turn to mush.
