Long Rifle Lodge - Palmer

We stopped here for lunch as part of our glacier tour. Our waitress was super friendly and gave us the warm welcome feeling. The food was excellent, and definitely the place after four hours hike of the glacier. Large selection of local beers. Onion rings were perfect, and the burgers filled and perfectly prepared. Can't recommend this place enough to have a table in the back for a fantastic view of the Glacier Valley and the local wildlife. Don't touch the animals!

After a long day of work on the river and our last night in the area my husband and I decided to go here to have dinner. It was empty when we were there, as it is quite a lot outside the season, but it was a nice day out. Russell, the owner, served us and we had the Clunky Goat Salad (I think that was the name) and spicy mushroom burgers. The food was good and everything tasted fresh. We enjoyed our meal. We were so full that we had to pull Dessert out (Blaubeer crisis)! Totally great experience!

I'm sorry I didn't come in. We went with a big group and wanted to eat and go. While we waited for our orders to be picked up, we noticed how great the interior decoration at this place and the beautiful view from inside and on the deck was. Your burgers were great. They had 2 big but friendly dogs. Obviously they hoped that we could feed them some delicious burgers (No, we did not, there is nothing good for their health, but they were well trained and did not try to take some of our hands : I like her good temperaments.

The view itself is worth 5 stars. View of the mountains and a glacier and a good cold beer. That makes it for me. The food was also delicious. We had a burger and a salad were both amazing. The prices were very reasonable. I loved everything about the place. Five stars.

5 stars for the great location. Sip a beer looking at the beautiful Matanuska glacier. The food was delicious. If you get hold of the corner spot overlooking the glacier, you could spend endless time just staring at the beauty. The lodge has great all wood ambience with taxidermy Alaskan wild animals. I got the grilled salmon sandwich and was pretty good.
