Barbie's Cafe - Anchorage

Only went there once, as it seemed like a bizarre haven for #magats, but the wait staff were all great. if you have a kid who loves unicorns, take them here

Everything was amazing and Sherry was an absolute doll. Chicken fried steak, home fries and cinnamon roll is a must!!! Will be back!!!

Excellent breakfast spot! We came here because it was open early. So glad we did. The chili cheese omelette was huge and fabulous and the service was friendly and awesome.

My fiancé and I went in for brunch today. I'd been wanting to stop in for AGES but we lived on the other side of town (until recently). It IS a little run down, but the atmosphere is homey and nice. Our waitress was really nice, attentive, and pretty much ran the whole floor herself. I absolutely love that they are VA friendly. The food was also good and, again, homey. Large portions, but not overwhelming. I was surprised to see their hours are 5 am 3 pm but they are a cafe and, hey, there aren't many mom and pops that serve breakfast all day! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience!

I 've been trying to get out of my comfort zone lately, and go to more places I 've never visited before. Barbie 's is one of those. It 's the odd purple building on Lake Otis Pkwy (a road I rarely drive on). They have classic diner fare. Close to what you might find at places like Granny B 's. The ambiance is also classic divey-diner, nothing fancy, just how I like 'em. Coffee is typical diner coffee, it 's A-OK. I got the Dice Scramble . The portions were massive and the quality was high, I was impressed! The service though, was very lacking. My meal didn 't come with toast. The server asked me if I ordered toast, I said she didn 't ask me, and asked for rye toast. My coffee and my water were empty for about 20 minutes, and then she brought me the tab. Let me tell you, eating salted potatoes with no fluids is ROUGH. I asked if the toast was read and she said I was wondering who 's rye toast has been sitting up there so long! No apology, no nothing. I still had to request that my drinks were refilled. Ugh.
