Arctic Roadrunner
A local burger institution open since 1964; order at the counter for good value, with the halibut burger as the signature.
An Anchorage burger institution since 1964, located at 5300 Old Seward Highway and much loved by locals. Order at the counter; no reservations are needed. The signature is the halibut burger, made with Alaskan halibut. The Kodiak Islander burger comes with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, onion and green chili, and the plain beef burger is consistently good value. The restaurant is cash only, with an ATM on site, and you can also order through online delivery apps. Burgers cost about 12–16 US dollars each, and expect to spend about 15–20 US dollars per person. It is south of Midtown, about 6 km from downtown, so you'll need to drive or take a taxi. Closed on Sundays.
Opening hours
Monday to Thursday 10:30 a.m.–7:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 10:30 a.m.–8:00 p.m.; closed Sunday
