Elf's Den - North Pole
Elf's Den
Description
Located in North Pole, Alaska, this longtime local eatery delivers generous, well-made comfort fare—steaks, pasta, huge calzones, gyros and seafood—backed by friendly, efficient service and a full bar. The bright dining room feels clean but somewhat dated; the salad bar is limited and there can be a mild smoke odor or sticky spots. Delivery is offered (allow extra time). Overall it’s a reliable, unpretentious choice for casual dinners, birthdays and regular nights out.

Birthday Dinner. Have not been here since my early days in the AF, like 1982. Back then it was a party bar for the GI's and had a lot of fun there. Now I am a homebody and wanted to take the wife out for her birthday. The decor has changed a bit but still looks like I did the drywall. Do not be swayed however by the dated look. The steaks we had were close to perfect and the wait staff of one (Jennifer )was great. The salad bar could use a major update, at the time it was fresh but too few choices. I am glad I gave the ole Elf's Den a chance, we will be back again when it is a bit cooler, inside and out.
Great place to s beer or two and a big calzone!!
Just tried this place last week and we're back a week later, impressed both times! Food is great, a little higher on prices but pretty typical for Fairbanks/North Pole. Service has been great both times, wait staff is friendly and efficient. The menu has a good variety. The calzones are HUGE. The interior is decorated simply but it's bright and feels clean and fresh. This could easily become a regular dinner spot for us!
Place ain 't fancy, but essentially qualifies as Alaska-fabulous. Pizza is my pick here, pretty tasty. Haven 't had the famous Toranado yet, but want to try.
Great food!!!!. I cost a lot of the whole menu and everything is Yummy!!!! They also deliver in the area, but make sure you want to eat at least 45 minutes. Let's be fair, in North Pole places and houses and far between. When I go back to Alaska will go back and eat safe there!!!!
