Reviews of Monderosa Bar and Grill (Restaurant)

Ray Klos

Great burgers. The place itself isn't that nice inside but the food and service made up for it.

David July

This great restaurant earns its reputation for excellent burgers. The service is great and the environment — reminding me of a truck stop diner from in times past — is a nice spot to pause for a break with beer and a meal.

Sarah Maxwell

Delicious and affordable food, burgers are insanely good. And the staff are super friendly and quick. Best burgers in the state!

Maarten Hofman

Tasty food with large quantities of meat. May not be ideal if you are a vegetarian. The place is at a good location along the highway, making it a good place to eat. They unfortunately don't accept credit cards and their atm doesn't always work.

Jason Hartness

Great burger and fries. No cards taken so bring cash or pay a service charge at the ATM located within the restaurant. Only one girl working the day I went; covering the tables, bar, and even the grill but she still managed to please, great job holding down the fort!

Marcie Allen

Seriously the best burgers in Alaska!

Jazzmin Schultz

Best burger and fries I had since I moved to Alaska.

Wawyer Qiatun

Quality overall. Food, customer service, it's a FANTASTIC restaurant.

Victoria Avery

Great place off the road between Fairbanks and Nenana. Be careful vegetarians: I hear they fry their french fries in lard. There are other options however.

Eric Collier

Had the Mondo Burger, stated it was the best in Alaska. That is untrue. Don't get me wrong, it's a 4 out of 5 and I will definitely ha e one again. But I have had better in interior Alaska. This is a historic place to eat and was once on the main drag between Fairbanks and Nenana. When they changed the Parks HWY Monderosa was left to the west of the HWY by about a quarter mile. No worries though, well advertised with signs. This is a cash only restaurant and bar. They do have an ATM on site incase you need USD.

There are a group of us that make appoint to stop in the Monderosa going to our camp and stop for lunch on our way back. Always Real Good Food. Yes their hamburgers are the best" And the Courteous, kind people that work there are a special treat. Very comfortable place ~ 5 STARS!!

William Troxel

A Mondo burger is a must have treat when traveling the Park's Highway. The fries are the best I've ever had

Brandon Crookham

Good food, I've been going here since I was a child

Chris Wear

Great service! Woman was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and its history. The burger was absolutely Alaska's best.

Angela Spear

Quaint environment with a rustic vibe. Good burgers and friendly staff. Cash only which is a bit of a pain and absolutely no cell service

Tanya Collier

This was our first time eating here although we hear a lot about it. The mondo burger was very tasty and the prices reasonable. I do still feel that it is not quite the best burger I've had in Alaska. The waitress was nice but could have tended to us better. It is cash only which i don't care for but they do have an atm. The ceiling fans were so dusty so thankfully they were not on. The flooring didn't look like it had been mopped in months. We were able to see our waitress out back making out with someone and didn't wash her hands when she came back to we work. Overall I am satisfied but have experienced better.

CASH ONLY! NO CREDIT CARDS! This is a typical Alaskan lodge setting. Comfort food in a log cabin. Clean tables, and probably the best you can do in a rural setting. Prices are not bad. But bring real money.

Austin Killian

Great highway side bar and small restaurant, only give it 4 stars because the nachos were very disappointing... monstrosity mondo burger was amazing though!

Curtis Henry

Some of the best burgers in AK. I often stop here while traveling the parks Highway.

B Brusky

A little out of the way, but the burger I had ranks in my top ten.

Mark Haroldson

Delicious burgers! Worth the stop!

Christie Bausman

Joyce Carpenter

Best burgers

Johnny Rogers

I had a hamburger and it was good! However, I was very disappointed with the process cheese on the hamburger. It would be nice to see an upgrade to real cheese. I have given you three stars primarily because my waitress sat directly across from my wife and I and smoked a cigarette. She even left the cigarette burning in the ashtray as she made her rounds. There were three employees working at the restaurant! I don’t understand why she couldn’t step outside and smoke. It was a very nice sunny day. I hate cigarette smoke! Needless to say! My displeasure was reflected in my tip.

Great food. Nice outdoor dining too. Good friendly staff. Not many options out in area, so if you are in the area, you should eat there.

Great burgers, love the fries. All the food is good. Great atmosphere, cash only fyi but they do have an atm. Wanda is the best! Locally owned They're known for their burgers, by the way, they are the best! Is even said locally to be the best burgers in the whole area including Fairbanks & North Pole. They also have a couple pool tables and a pretty good bar if you're into that.

amy graham

Always open

dee washburn

Great food! WAITRESS ran lots of business off (more than 5 families didn't eat there while we were there). Telling them it was an hour wait (when it wasn't). Table left dirty the whole time we were there.

Alexander Terry

The fries are amazing, and battered shrimp: equally as great.

J K

Burgers and more... We stopped at the Monderosa on our way from Palmer to Nenana and had a burger and a shrimp basket. The burger was done well and the battered shrimp were fried just right. If you leave hungry, it's your own fault!

Michael Jeffrey

Great food and the service was Excellent. Annie is a great host. We always love the Monderosa!

Michael Ervin

Some of the best burgers in Alaska! But they only take cash, no credit cards.

Best burger in AK!!

Lara Hartman-Poirrier

Burgers were good. Basic and simple.

Tiffany Niksik

I got sick as hell

Annette McDonald

The Mondo is famous for their burgers, but I really like their steak sandwiches. In the summer, it is great to eat in their screened in porch. The only reason that I do not eat there more is that there is no cellular phone signal there.

Michelle Barker

So worth the 40 min drive to drive on the yummy burgers and fries.

Jesse Lentz

Suuuuper yummy! Make sure to go hungry!
