Frommer's Review

This Anchorage institution of half a century (in high school we called it "The Bone") is where the real pioneer Alaska meets families out for a delicious, not-too-greasy fried chicken dinner, famous milkshakes (try the hot fudge), and other delights from the fountain. It is our children's favorite. One section of the counter is reserved for discussion of aviation and golf. When the beloved owners outlawed smoking years ago, it made the front page of the newspaper. You'll see few other tourists, as the location, among the car dealerships at the extreme east end of downtown, is too far to walk to from the hotels. On the other hand, I once ran into Alaska's powerful senior U.S. senator, Ted Stevens. They have a drive-in.
