What a find! Alaska is not high on the list for culinary tours and appreciation, although some excellent seafood can be found along the coast. While not exactly foodies, my family and I were getting a little tired of the typical roadhouse/lodge fare that is offered along the roads in the interior of the state. Burgers, burgers, burgers for one... more

229 Parks is a restaurant that is in a league of it's own in Denali. The commitment to fresh, organic, from scratch and locally grown is a difficult concept to pull off anywhere, but, in Denali, it is nearly impossible, yet 229 Parks is dedicated to it whole heartedly. The food is unbeliveably fresh, and innovative. The deserts are incredible.... more

I think this place is over rated just because of the reviews. If u want froo froo food and a snobby atmosphere in Denali then this would be your place. The food was ok but not great. 6 out of 10. more

I stop here whenever I can. It is still the best place to eat, year after year they remain good. Can beat their appetizers and I loved the rabbit last time. The best thing however is always the greens and vegtables. more

Let me begin by saying that 229 Parks has very, very good food. Actually, it was probably the best food that my wife and I had while in Alaska for two weeks. We support the commitment to local produce and really liked their eclectic menu. As some other reviewers have noted, however, the dining experience is SLOW. We were at... more

A total gem in an area of overpriced and very average fare. The Cole's offer creative combinations that would get attention in any big city let alone the middle of Denali. The other reviews about what you pay are irrelevant as it is VERY reasonable compared to other offerings in the area (think "Salmon Bake") and you actually get incredible... more

We spent 10 nights eating all over Alaska and this was by far the best. However, it is very slow since it is a scratch restaurant and apparently only 1 cook. It is about 15 minutes south of the Denal park entrance but worth the drive if you are in the area. They don't take reservations so get there early... more

The food at 229 Parks is superb. Fresh, original, beautifully presented. Good wine list too. If you're anywhere close by, don't miss this place. more

We ate at this restaurant in July last year. Our group of six had a variety of items. The rabbit and salmon entrees were over cooked. The salads and dessert were excellent. more

Amazing!

We had two dinners here during our recent trip to Alaska. Everything is very fresh, well presented, and creatively put together. From amazing tamales to a distinctly unique take on a cheeseburger to amazing homemade ice cream, this was probably the best restaurant we encountered in Alaska during our stay. The restaurant's commitment to sustainability and locally sourced ingredients is... more
