Prey - Denali
Prey
Description
Tucked near rustic cabins in Alaska, this restaurant delivers memorable plates—ribeye, French dip, fresh cod and inventive desserts—alongside a solid selection of local beers. Service is frequently warm and personable, but chronic understaffing leads to long waits, occasional missing ingredients and uneven dishes. Prices span budget to splurge and the menu can be pared back late in the season. With plentiful parking, wheelchair ramps and a kid-friendly, charming atmosphere, it’s a worthwhile dinner spot for highlights despite some inconsistency.

Prey has potential, but it is severely understaffed, which was evident in the food quality. Our waiter prepared our cocktails, but we had to send them back, and the dishes were missing key ingredients. We eventually decided to leave, mainly because we felt quite sorry for the staff.
The service was slow, and we nearly missed our outing even though we allotted plenty of time. The food was decent but didn't justify the high prices.
After a long day in Denali, I visited this restaurant with some hesitation due to its corporate atmosphere and the fact that very few people were dining there. However, I’m really glad we stopped in. We ordered the Reindeer Buffalo Sausage Sampler, and it was a massive portion! We managed to eat it all between the two of us, even though it was probably too much. I’d suggest it could easily be shared among four people. My husband tried the mac and cheese with bacon and really enjoyed it. I had the Garden on Grain sandwich, which was perfect—filling but not too heavy, and really tasty. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, which added to the experience. I'd definitely return if I'm in the area again.
The food is outstanding! Like many restaurants these days, they are short-staffed, but as long as you can be patient, the delicious food and friendly staff make the wait worthwhile!
We are staying at the cabins which are associated with the restaurant. Spouse order Alaska caught fish and chips. It came out barely warm. The potatoe fries were under cooked and the parm coating wasn't tasty. Def not fresh cut, likely frozen, maybe the fish was too. The bison chili wasn't bad, good flavors and spice mix.tge bison meat was in large pieces that some may prefer, I chopped them up to my liking. Ordered the chicken wings, our server told us they had previous complaints that the wings were too small. So instead, they serve a generous portion of chicken legs. However, they are breaded and I forgot to ask about that. I prefer unbreaded. The buffalo sauce was fine, guessing Frank's Redhot. Beer selection was good, including a decent variety of Alaska brews. But the two stars rating for marginal food/price value.
