"Founded by Richard Sanchis, it's been around since 1964, starting off as a food truck. Many delicious cheeseburgers later, two brick-and-mortar stores opened on Arctic Boulevard and Old Seward Highway in Anchorage. Nowadays, only one location remains, still the same beacon of nostalgia and comfort it has been for locals over the last 60 years."
"Clearly, Arctic Roadrunner is no ordinary fast food place, and it's apparent the moment you arrive at its retro front door. Outback is a seating area that directly looks out to Campbell Creek, the perfect outdoor dining spot in nice weather. With rustic Alaskan decor and warm ambience inside, it transports you straight to a cabin in the woods. A massive fireplace centers the space, exactly what everyone needs when dining out in the midst of an Alaskan winter."
"At Arctic Roadrunner, fast food takes on Alaska's charm. Named after Alaska's iconic landscapes, such as Kodiak and Kenai, the burgers go beyond the typical beef patties and American cheeses. Additional toppings include cold meats like bologna, salami, and ham, or hearty slices of bacon. Sometimes, they're drenched in a blue cheese dressing; others, it's BBQ sauce and onion rings that bring the allure."
