The Banks Alehouse - Fairbanks, Alaska

Went a little early on Sunday (around 11:30am). Food came out fast and everything was absolutely delicious. Food smelled as good as it tasted. Our server was so sweet and made our whole visit super pleasant. I'll definitely be coming back soon, and I definitely understand why this place is super popular.

Food was quick, as well as the hostess. She was on it, always refilling drinks without having to wait, and was very pleasant.

Fried pickles for the app and the child who said she didn’t like or want any after the first bite started boarding and stockpiling them on her side because they were that good 🤦😂 almost ordered a second one but we had food right behind it.

We had the limited time drinks from the bar that I can’t remember the name of. It was a citrus coconut island 🏝️ style drink and it was delicious. I wasn’t feeling a beer that afternoon and my wife and I were really impressed with the fresh drinks being made at the bar. They came with fresh limes and thyme as well.

We opted for the loaded nachos and she recommended a half order due to the absurdly large portion, so we did and wow they really are massive! The nachos were delicious with pulled pork, steak cooked medium rare, and all the toppings you’d expect like jalepenos and cheese.

My wife got the cheesesteak and it was every bit as good as the best cheesesteak joints in Fairbanks, I will be back just to eat one for myself in the future.

My kiddo got the Mac and cheese pizza which is a very odd food gamble and she didn’t love it, which ended up being fine because dad did! Took it for a work lunch the next day. The white Alfredo sauce with the velveeta style shells and soft tender chicken and bacon ended up like a chicken bacon ranch with pasta and I was all for it!

Overall excellent experience and always like going here. My only gripe is they removed the smoked Gouda cheese sticks.

My mom and I split a Rhode Island sized buffalo chicken pizza. It was both delicious and filling. Note: we didn’t see the Alaska, but likely good for more people, bigger appetites or leftovers. Also, it paired nicely with their local beer selection; I prefer IPA. I loved the bacon and the chicken was crispy with a good balance of sauce. It looked like a comfortable dining room. We sat in the bar where all the TVs were on something different (good for hockey/basketball season). The staff was friendly and we would come back next time we’re in Fairbanks.

Great pub with an excellent selection of craft beer. Service was great and the food hit the spot. Absolutely loved the apple crumble which was heavy on the apple and ice cream and lighter on the crumble. It was so good!

The brisket was so yummy. The drinks were very well balanced and tasty and the service was fast and efficient, we will definitely be back.

The food was good and the service was very good too. I loved having the option of sitting in a sports section or more of a normal quiet restaurant.

Ordered the nachos and a custom pasta. Portion size is very generous and the food is delicious with plenty of vegetarian friendly options

It was so good we ate here twice! Great beer selection. Smokehouse burger is on point with a Gouda wheel, pulled pork and onion ring on the yummy burger. Coleslaw was good. Mac and cheese was better lol Nachos were delicious
