Food Scene

A little fancier and still only a short drive away. The water does have a funny taste but the food is very good - locals rave about the prime rib!

There are A LOT of Thai Food restaurants in Fairbanks and you cant go wrong with any of them but we love the food here the best. Note: This is a smaller place and not fancy, if you are looking for a place for a bigger group you may want to go with Bahn Thai. They have a website with their menu if you want to look ahead http://www.siamsquarefairbanks.com/

Another great Thai Food restaurant, this one has room for big groups and has a more classy feel than Siam Square. Their Halibut Egg Rolls are a favorite.
