"Since 1964 this place has been turning out beefy burgers and great onion pieces and rings. If your timing is right, you can eat outdoors while watching salmon spawn up Campbell Creek."

"The Best Burgers From Each of the 50 States: Arctic Roadrunner, Alaska - Get the Bacon Burger with crisp iceberg, American cheese, mayo, onion, and tomato served on a no-frills toasted white squishy bun. It’s a hefty two-fister."

Cliff Murray

"If you are looking for a huge selection in burgers, then you need to go to one of those crimson bird burger places. I had the Arctic Cheese on a wheat bun. It is simply a cheeseburger. It does not overwhelm the palette with fancy spices or exotic toppings, but it is simply delicious... in a way, I think we sometimes forget how good food at its simplest can be."

"With a history that dates back to 1964, Arctic Roadrunner has been the go-to burger restaurant in Anchorage, Alaska, for decades. Their biggest hit is the Kodiak Islander, a burger that stacks salami, bologna, ham, American cheese, mozzarella cheese, green pepper, onion, tomato, lettuce, and mayonnaise on a quarter-pound beef patty. This burger is so good that you will never forget it."
