Gold Panner - Carmacks
Gold Panner
Description
Gold Panner sits on the Klondike Highway as a cheerful, small-town stop that divides opinion. Many visitors praise friendly, attentive staff, quick service and comforting, homestyle dishes — from hearty soups and grilled sandwiches to surprising standouts like chicken souvlaki and cheesecake — and the coffee often draws compliments. At the same time guests report inconsistent portion sizes and menu clarity, occasional cleanliness and pricing concerns, and some variable food quality. For travelers between Whitehorse and Dawson City it remains a convenient, sometimes-delightful pit stop with a distinctly local character.

Here's a revised version of the restaurant review: **Service:** Dine-In **Meal Type:** Breakfast **Price per Person:** CAD $10–$20
The cheeseburger was outstanding! The hot dog and deep-fried pickles were also delicious. I'm really glad we decided to stop by. We also picked up some tasty mini donuts for the road. I would definitely recommend this place!
Poor customer service skills by snotty young girl. Was treated very rudely when requested service and had been waiting a long time. Will not be returning to support a business with mediocre meals and whose staff treats their customers poorly. There are two other nice resteraunts at the beginning and at the end of town.
Fantastic burgers! Service: Dine-in Meal type: Lunch Price range per person: CA$10–20
This is a good restaurant for a couple or a large group. If you have food allergies they are very willing to help with ingredients, although there isn’t a lot they can always change or substitute. I tried a few different dishes (none of them burgers) and all were good. Service was friendly and the dining area is unique and interesting.

More information
Gold Panner operates from a compact building built around a stationary food-truck structure and offers an unusually eclectic menu — patrons mention everything from breakfast French toast to veal cutlets and Greek souvlaki. Regulars praise the coffee and some signature plates, but reviewers also note inconsistent portion sizes and menu clarity: there appears to be an upgrade-to-meal option that isn’t always clearly priced. Because it’s the main dining option on that stretch of highway, it’s both a popular convenience stop and a place where expectations can vary widely.
