Their soft serve is amazing, and the owner does so much for the community! Highly recommend!
This place is a must visit stop in Anchorage. A long loved establishment known for their dipped cones and chili dogs, among other delicious choices. Their milkshakes are phenomenal with so many flavors to choose from. They also have pineapple Dole whip, another favorite of mine. Founded by a legendary Alaskan family prior to Statehood, the Anchorage Tastee Freez has been a beloved stop for generations. Both past and present ownership has always remained committed to the community, and especially young adults, by creating first job opportunities for many teens. During COVID business has shifted a bit, but they offer call ahead, curbside and walk in service still. Social distancing and masks are a must. While you wait, be sure to check out the history on the walls, the story of this place is Sourdough at its finest.
Stopped by this place while riding rental bikes along the costal trails from Anchorage. Delicious food and good service. Burgers were perfect and my French fries were the best Ive had in a while. Highly recommend!
Affordable prices and surprisingly light French fries -- definitely some of the better ones Ive had in town. At least in late August, they also had several covered tables of outdoor seating -- essential for pandemic dining out, in my book. Most employees also wore masks, correctly.
Not impressed. Ive been coming here for a long time and the staff have gotten worse. I watched while 3 employees just aimlessly wander around leaving food in the window just sitting. And once a cook said something then ONE of the employees decided oh yeah I need to get these orders out.. literally shouldnt have to wait 25 minutes for a single chicken wrap. I love this local place but unless the service improves I dont think I will be back.
Really good food. Customer service is hit or miss. Depends on the person. Really comfy atmosphere for waiting or even dining in.
Came back to Anchorage to visit family and stopped by here for milkshakes with the kids. This is one of the few places that actually makes milkshakes the way theyre supposed to. Super thick. They had lots of flavors and were willing to mix them for us too. The butterscotch was amazing for a milkshake and the peach was really good as well, tasted super fresh. I love how they actually are a place thatll hire teenagers so they can start working. The place is always clean, sometimes its busy and you wait a little longer, but thats just cuz theyre busy. They got good food, good milkshakes, good Sundays, and the prices arent bad.
I love this place amazing food, the kids working here are very professional and kind what an awesome place to work for starting out in life. FOOD IS AMAZING AGAIN if you havent been here before Go they have EVERYTHING.
Family enjoyed it. I tried the teriyaki chicken burger didnt care for it. Onion rings were good. Korn fritters were decent. Tried ordering a Butterscotch Shake but they heard Butterscotch dipped cone 🤦♀️
Had the burger, fries and shake. Not bad. Better than all the chain burger places but not the best.
My daughter (3 y/o) and Is go to place for a quick laid back lunch date. & boy do we come often lol.The menu has definitely expanded over the years and its amazing! The garlic cheese curds are probably her fave (& honestly the best Ive had), and dipping her curly fries in her choc/van swirled cone.Staff is always friendly, and the owner bops around just spreading cheer throughout.Special thanks to anyone whos been here while we were and got to witness my kiddo dancing around to the music for putting up with her free spirit.If youve got kiddos, dont forget your quarters for the infamous gumball machine!
This place is packed with ppl, so its obviously a local favorite. My order was given to someone else, so I had to wait back in line for them to remake it, and ended up waiting 30min just for a bananas Foster sundae. Inside is really hot and stuffy, so better to wait and eat outdoors. Surprisingly for AK, the soft serve is so soft, it is melting and dripping down the cone by 1st bite/lick.
Great atmosphere, feels like nothing has changed in here since the 90s. Plenty of staff working, who all know their job and are working. Every thing over ordered has been read back and cooked correctly consistently. Clean store. Cant reccomend enough.
Neighborhood staple for decades. Stopped in for a soft ice cream. Popular place for families to have a treat on sunny days otherwise.
Best burger I had in a while, and it was a Beyond burger! Super impressed. Cant wait until you add vegan cheese to the menu too!
Cool little restaurant. Food is good and service is above average. Definitely reccomend
Overworked crew yet cheerful! Great staffing and good food.
Pretty ok fast food. I havent found my favorite yet, but I will keep eating here every once in awhile.
Seen this place online randomly and decided to give it a try. Fed the whole family for $100 and all 5 kids loved the food. All the food was labeled with is a huge help. Seriously no one complained. Cant wait to try the banana split. Will definitely be coming back.
Top notch environment. Great classic Hot Fudge Sunday, I asked them for no brownie. Good food, helpful staff.
Pineapple Whip is awesome. so tasty. Great local place
Juicy hamburgers 🍔 in Tastee Freez... I stop by once in awhile. 😋
50/50 on service. Food and freezies deserves the three star. First occasion friendly welcome and prompt order. Second occasion long wait time, did not let us know the freezies were being made and had me wait while they were in the freezer for the next 20 minutes. Left a sour taste in my mouth, but will try again next time with more communication on my part.
Great burgers! Great deserts! A little spendy for the whole family but. Good none the less. The tasteeness makes up for the priceeness.
A taste of great diner food with wonderful cold treats. Their malts are the best 👌!
I was overwhelmed by their food selection. Their selection drove the four stars. I had the Ruben sandwich. It food was ok.
The ice cream here is great! Like a good soft-serve ice cream should be, melts just the right way. The banana foster sundae is delicious, plenty of bananas, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and nuts! Not to mention the delicious vanilla ice cream. Thank you!
The teriyaki chicken sandwich was good and who doesnt love ice cream. Be back soon for sure
Great burger joint meals, with old fashioned flair of the 70s 80s.
Great place to grab a burger and fries or a chili dog. Food is delicious and staff is friendly.
Clean. Family oriented so kids are ok. Good customer service. I was picking up food for a friend to take to their workplace and I did not have a chance to eat their food. But I intend to go back and have lunch there.
Got ice cream in busy hours with no problem, quick service. their cashier was a hard worker juggling calls and customers, good job.
Celebrating over 60 Years! This Tastee Freez opened in 1958 making it one of the oldest Tastee Freez restaurants in America!If youre looking for an American meal then youll find it here! Shakes, Malts, Burgers, and Tacos to name a few. Easy to order and quick to pick-up. Youll find plenty of seating and parking when you visit.How does the food taste? Good. The cheese burger patty is so small that I feel like the meat was a condiment - seriously look at my pictures. The tater tots were tasteless, no flavor at all. The tacos are very tasty, but I think expensive. The Super Burrito is a lot of bread and very little meat. Thank goodness the desserts are full of flavor and worth the money.If this review was helpful please click the Like button.March 2019(1) Vanilla Butterscotch Shake (Medium): $4.95(1) Cheese Burger: $6.50(1) Tator Tots (Large): $3.95(1) Soda (Medium): $2.50(1) Soft Taco: $2.35(1) Super Burrito: $6.75(1) Double Special Combo (Double Patty Hamburger): $10.95(1) Peach Shake (Large): $6.95(1) Chicken Special Combo (Chicken Sandwich): $10.95Tax: $0.00April 2019(1) Peach Shake (Medium): $4.95(1) Chili Dog (Combo #4): $6.70(-) No SodaTax: $0.00
All of the food was wrong except tater tots.I ordered NO TOMATOES specifically as my family has an allergy, everything had tomatoes, my burrito was burnt so badly there was no insides left, the Nachos came in a broken taco bowl with tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and no meat!? I was robbed $50! I ordered from here because of the higher ratings, my daughter is fighting in the NICU and Im staying in the Hickel House so $50 is a lot to be wasted.. Im beyond disappointment!
Their butterfinger freeze is the BEST in town by a mile! DQs Blizzard cant hold a spoon to Tastee Freezes take at the classic go to dessert option.
The ice cream was delicious but they got my order wrong. I had left before I noticed. The wait for food seemed long, but we only got ice cream so it was a pretty short wait. Staff was friendly.
Tastee Freez, while technically a national chain franchise, serves as one of the staple burger joints in town. Reminiscent of the 50s drive-ins and burger joints of the past, this all-american restaurant offers a fairly diverse menu with a variety of sandwiches and burgers, served with curly (a usual for most) or regular fries. If youre in the mood for a treat, you wont be disappointed with the variety of shakes and frozen deserts.If you want something different from the regular fast food joint, and want to sit down for a meal in the Jewel Lake/Sand Lake part of town, definitely give it a shot.
Love this place and the people who work here. Very friendly, anytime there has beenA error all I had to do was let them know and they made it right. Been coming here since I was very young and they use to be across the street next to the old 7 11. Will continue to come here.
Good food. Good fun. Friendly staff.
Great place to have dinner, weather with family or friends.
Such good food and honestly even when they are extremely busy. Those kids really do a great job and not only is the customer service great, but the food is great! I absolutely love the French dip it has a mountain of onions for real. carmalized onions (most the time)if they run out ya know. Pretty great burgers, and the soft serve I love! ordering my freezie(soft serve with stir in ingredients such as cookies or m&ms.
Great ice cream. Too many kids working. Nor good cooks
Everything I’ve had has not disappointed 10/10 favorite to pick up after a long day
Service was great food was good and kids enjoyed the kids meals with the ice cream.
Great food for a great price. The whole family loves it everytime. Definitely one of my favorites!!
Lotta options good price nice vibe
Best soft served ice cream in town
So nice to have some of the south in Alaska!
Good food Rich Owens thanks for all you do for the community
Consistent food at a great value. Great place to stop for something quick after work in the summer.
Classic food and great service. Yum!
Tastes Freez is one of the best places to grab a bite and ice cream super kid friendly, Also busy except a few minute wait.
My mother and I have been eating here for over twenty years its always wonderful.
I have been a patron of Tastee Freez since I was a little girl. The service is fabulous and the food is wonderful. I love that they have such an eclectic and varied menu. Its a wonderful place to take family.
Great burgers and fries. Good service. Wont be dissapointed.
Tastee Freez is kind of similar to Dairy Queen in terms of food offered. I enjoyed their burgers and ice cream, and will definitely be coming back here again. Its a good location if you need something to eat while youre going hiking in one of the nearby trails.
Continuously pumping out good food and service with a smile.
The customer service is amazing the food is beyond amazing, theyre less selections have grown since 1950s, all customers are patients and very polite
Their food always smells and looks so good!
First time there on 4/21Awesome food great service and the deserts are everything you want in a sweet treat
I love how they sell your greasy spoon, messy finger food products. The food is actually greasy, no worries. Prices are great, food selection is awesome and it taste fantastic. Clean, curtious staff.
I have always been a fan of TF. I dont think you should have to pay for the sauces. They just started that a year ago. I always get my sauces at the end. I been coming there for more than 20 years. The staff is usually friendly and I usually get the right order.
The food is not great, but the ice cream is great.
Fast service. Good food.
OMG the ice cream cones are sooooo good. Mixed flavors yummmmy.
It is a fun family place with about everything on the menu.
Excellent service and hit good food.
We used take out. The food was delicious. I had the Hawaiian burger. I loved the combinations of flavor. Onion rings were wonderful and crispy.
Been coming here since I was a kid absolutely fabulous
Awesome ice-cream pretty packed for a fast food place
Definitely have stepped their game up...burgers are good!!!
We had the corn fritters for the first time today. They were delicious.
Its a bit chaotic during busy times but the food and desserts are yuuummy!!
Oldie but goodie. Great local place!
Did you know tastee freeze used to be across the street in a now demolished building. yep they move to this location....i wanna say 90s?Still Love this place. The owner even took time to tell me they will soon have gluten free buns.Update 8-2-19: im pretty sure tastee freeze is responsible for this beautiful landscape and American flag. Beautiful.I would like to extend my gratefulness towards you the owner of Tastee Freez for not only providing excellent food and Community involvement, but for employing such shining stars like Margie ( AKA squeaker, Xander and Tina.I pre-ordered for the first time so that my food would be ready when I got there, what a treat that is!! but wait theres more...the really great part was getting the opportunity to speak with a young lady named Margie.She is so friendly, when my order became a little complicated she was so patient and made sure that everything was just like I wanted. Margie even convinced me to try tater tots AND SWET AND SOUR over my usual French fries. Boy am I glad I did !! I will never have french fries again YAY TOTS! Thanks Squeaker, you shall always be in my memory when I think off tots:)Its refreshing to see a locally owned business that employs such friendly Youth and I look forward to going in every time I because the employees are always so respectful and the place is always so clean and they always get my order rightIn the photo below you can see these Fine Young Folks Tinas on the left Margie is in the middle and Xander is on the right next time youre in say hi you wont regret itPS: the really great photo of the three of you somehow got lost on my device 😥
They always have good food. If there is an issue they will fix it. This is a great local place to support.
A most refreshing and popular stop for ice cream on a bike ride
This place has consistently tasty food, good service, and also gives back so much to the community.
Excellent service!!The folks working there, very polite!!!
The best of people, clean and delicious food, with a friendly atmosphere.
I don’t know what’s going on but this place takes forever now. Middle of the day on a Tuesday in October, not busy at all, still waited 20 minutes for my burger and fries. What’s taking so long?
Quick service good food!
Mandatory stop for a chocolate malt on the way to disc golf @ Kincaid.
Love the dole whip! We go here for ice cream treats and they never dissapoint
Great attitude about safety, and flattening the curve. Good food decent price. Customers are asked to put on a mask or take a menu and call in the order if they dont want to wear it. They have some nice looking masks for a good price there as well.
OK food. Dont expect much here.
Oversalted food. Fish flavored fries. Old corn fritter. Used the same fryer for fish and fries/tater tots. Everything tasted like fish. Their french dip was oversalted, combined with a salty au jus, it was inedible. The corn fritters were mediocre, tasted old and premade and frozen, inside was dark as if old, premade and frozen for a long time or undercooked.
Online ordering was great. When we got there the lobby was packed. No way to get 6 ft from everyone and boy did I try. I got a small cone and milkshake. The employee who handed me the cone didn’t have gloves. I tossed the cone as I walked out the door. Love this place but that experience kinda did it for me. Be safe
The food is always hot and fresh. We ordered milk shakes most recently. I had Blackberry, the wife had hot cocoa. The Blackberry had real blackberries blend it in. The hot cocoa tasted just like hot chocolate with marshmallows. Definitely top three milkshakes in town!
Fun ice cream shop.
Really enjoy your food and desserts.. Thanks Rich
My favorite place to get a quick bit. Everyone is so nice.
Excellent stop for a burger in anchorage.
Pretty good prices and decent quality.
Amazing corn fritters and Banana splits!💯💯💯💯💯
Quick and delicious, a regular go-to for hungry kids.
