Jack Sprat - GIRDWOOD

Eating here is amazing. many vegan options, including 3 vegan main dishes, and several starters/salads. and? vegan dessert! there is almost always a waiting time (so they come early) but eating is worth waiting.

I was so happy to find a restaurant that had a decent amount of vegan options. Since visiting Anchorage and the surrounding area, I’ve struggled to eat because of the cost of food and the lack of options that aren’t $20-25 a pop. I ordered the Nacho Libre vegan nachos. They weren’t what I was expecting, but they were good. I expected a melted “cheese” but instead got a drizzle of a nutritional yeast type sauce. It was enough food for a meal, but was the price of an appetizer, which I appreciated. My friend ordered the appetizer of Yam fries, and for $11, I wouldn’t recommend them. They were okay. The cut of the fries was very large and so made most of the fry just taste like I was eating a half baked plain yam. Vegans can’t have the aioli that comes as dipping on the side. I ordered the Naked Berry dessert (raw vegan if you’re into that) and it was delicious. 10/10. My nonvegan friend tried it and wasn’t a fan, however, but she is a picky eater and very pessimistic about vegan food

I have been looking forward to trying this place for years, and I found it disappointing. When I pay over $20 for an entree, I want something special and delicious. Before ordering anything, when I was trying to decide about an appetizer, I asked if I could see the dessert menu first to figure everything out. The server looked baffled and said she would return in a few minutes. She did return in a few minutes, but without the dessert menu. I asked again, and she acted as if our prior conversation never happened (also why is the vegan item on the dessert item not marked as such since they take such pains to mark everything on the food menu? . I ordered the bibimbap. The vegan version swaps the pork with mushrooms (which they forgot to put on and I had to request many minutes later when my server finally checked in , and they replace the egg with...nothing. I chose to add some marinated tofu for $6. What I got was an eighth of a block of raw tofu that tasted as if it had been marinated in nothing more than the water it was packaged in. For $6. Why not just give me some tofu since I am not getting any egg? The rice was nice and crispy along the bottom of the pot. The veggies were fresh. But there was very little flavor in anything, apart from spicy (my wife 's selection was also pretty bland . The cashew cheesecake is a good one, but not much different from what I could make myself with a few ingredients and a Vitamix. My wife (not vegan got the chocolate cake and a coffee for dessert, neither of which she finished because she said neither was good. So yes, this place is in Girdwood and has a few dishes that can be made vegan. YMMV. I would not come back.

The Yakisoba was some of the best I've had, outside of a Korean restaurant. Really liked the seaweed pickles they threw on it, along with the blackened edamame and the fresh sprouts. The staff actually know how to sear tofu, which is nice it was DELICIOUS. Buuuutttt....for $6 to add 3 slices (approx. 1/4 block) of tofu, I could buy a couple of packages of the stuff and sear it, myself. I will give them the fact that the tofu was the cheapest protein add in you could do for the dish. That being said, I really hope the staff see some of that profit they were really helpful and friendly, and everything was great. Beer and wine selection is impressive (more so the wine), and the food is fantastic particularly their raw vegan marionberry cheesecake. Would totally eat here again.

It is an amazing hidden gem in the mountain area in girdwood, alaska. great customer service. Eating is fantastic and can fill her with tasteful food. from the fresh mountain air to the incineration pits in front make it majestic . only so to experience it is to check it yourself. call them or check their website so they can get in. whoop whoop it is a winner
