Turnagain Bbq Armpit Alaska

We dropped in here randomly on a Friday afternoon and were warmly greeted, seated and served very quickly. Chili, corn bread, and crispy ribs were phenomenal. The pulled pork sandwich (forget the name right now) was good too. Really nice selection of four homemade bbq sauces to choose from. Highly recommend!

We ordered the crispy ribs, cup of chili, bore tide sandwich. This was a huge lunch! First the appetizer, the crispy ribs were fried and topped with a maple soy glaze and green onions. 3 or 4 ribs was delicious and cooked perfectly, the smoke was not overpowering and fall off the bone. We also had a cup of pit master chili. No beans, all meat and cooked fresh daily. These two items is plenty for a lunch. Then the bore tide sandwich showed up. Big sandwich, served with tasty slaw on the side. The bore tide has a plank of bacon on top of the pile of pulled pork. One of the popular picks and with the choices of sauces to go with that make a lunch fit for a king. Or queen. Definitely worth a stop by if you have the time. Plenty to choose from on their menu.

Who would think that you could find some of the best barbecue in North America in Anchorage (or Indian, Ak) ? But you can. We've sampled barbecue all over the Lower 48 and both the Turnagain Arm locations are among our top 5 favorites. Brisket, chicken, or ribs.... all great! Whether the Anchorage or Indian Location... this place rocks!

In addition to decent BBQ, they grow their own greens all year round. My fav is their hearty salad with sliced brisket added on top. However, multiple times now, they've run out. Weird to rate and downgrade a BBQ place on salad availability, but I wish they would do a better job keeping their full menu in stock.

We ordered for take out. I've been wanting to check this place out and finally got to try it. My order was The Barnyard #1 which is supposed to be 1/4 rack rib, 2 chicken thigh, hot link and curly fries ... but my order is missing a chicken thigh and instead of curly fries, it is just a normal fries. 😒 the food is okay, I just wish they follow through with what's on their menu.

We sat in the drive thru for over 20 minutes before someone even came to the window to take our order. After the worker ginally took my order, it took another 20 minites to recieve the food. I was able to watch as one waitress handled everyone's orders during lunch time on a Saturday. It's obvious they need to have more staff during this time to manage the amount of customers. I do not believe it is the waitresses fault, but management for not scheduling their workers appropriately.

We had fantastic service from our waitress for an early dinner. The pulled pork was perfectly moist and delicious, and the side dishes appeared to be freshly made as they were great too. Also enjoyed the chili and the fried pickles. The interior is very clean and has a perfect theme. They offer a 10% military discount. But even before that was applied, I was surprised that the prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. Every table has four different kinds of delicious BBQ sauce. Good variety on the menu, and they have a special Mexican menu on Tuesdays. This is a fantastic place.
