Tap Root

Went here for lunch with a Groupon. We sat outside on the deck, so I cannot comment on the shows/music that they have going on. The service is basically what everyone else says about it, there is virtually none.  My partner ordered the Girdwood sandwich, which is a vegetarian mix of red pepper hummus, cucumbers, and alfalfa sprouts - it actually looked delicious and she enjoyed it, especially when subbing the yam fries for the regular fries. I ordered the pulled pork carnitas tacos, which came out to be three - a generous portion. The cotija chesse and salsa verde were a nice touch - but you must like spicy hot! The pork was a little dry, but that is par for the course here in Anchorage, I am learning. I long for the juicy delicious carnitas they have at Chipotle (fast food) in the lower 48.  Anyway, the burgers at the next table looked decent too. I think it would be an ok place for simple food and local music if that is what you are in to. But don't expect attentive service.

Service is getting better! They have some amazing shows coming up this summer & are doing what they can to draw people in the afternoon as well- trivia, movies, etc.
Drinks are also more consistent- & more interesting than they had been.
I still wouldn't plan to eat here, unless it is the end of the night...

Good jam music, great food for a reasonable price. Service is where they lose that last star. Not that it is bad it is just usually too few servers.
