Bringing authentic southern BBQ to Alaska is our passion, is our mission. We thrive on being true to traditional southern low n slow smoked meats and classic BBQ sides. We skimp on no part of that age old tradition, we replicate the BBQ masters every step of the way. We honor the ‘Q’ and all that it stands for. We don’t follow trends and we don’t sway from classic BBQ – well sometimes, but only rarely and then not very far. If they don’t do it down south, you likely won’t see it at our PiT.

A great place to stop off and grab lunch or to go drink. The place smells absolutely heavenly when you walk in. Stop in when I left Seward on my way back to Anchorage, AK. They have beautiful views of the water. Wish I had more time to sample all the things on the menu. Right off the main highway

What a day for a drive. Never been here before. I had the all meat Chilli and my friend hard the pulled pork sandwich. I also had some house made banana pudding with fresh cut bananas cut on it to order.. Just a great atmosphere. Got to meet some neat people. Could tell the locals there love if to. Go have a good time and enjoy some amazing bbq… don’t forget to pick up a pair of thete sunglasses or grab a shirt.

Had dinner at turnagain armpit Anchorage Alaska. Nice place, clean, service was a bit slow but the food was great. Will definitely come again before I leave Alaska. Had the curly fries with the BBQ ribs off of the appetizers section of the menu. Little price for just three ribs but most things in Alaska go for a bit more than they should most days. They were cooked well, seasoned and the presentation was nice. Server/waiter was a nice guy, just slow also assumed our entire table of 8 was on one bill. We straightened it out just took a little extra time. Experience started off great and ended with being just good. The place wasn’t busy at all, seating wasn’t an issue and neither was ambiance. Nice large flat screen in the dining and bar areas. Ambiance music the entire time wasn’t too loud or obnoxious. I do recommend this place.

Stopped by to pick up some sides for dinner at Turnagain Arm Pit tonight, fried pickles and okra, some slaw, cornbread and Mac & cheese. The food here has always been great, if you like barbecue you’ll love what they have to offer. Their sweet tea makes your teeth hurt in the best way. They are offering pick up (either call ahead or drop in ordering) and they also have a handful of tables set up on their deck. The view of the Arm is spectacular from there, so if you are lucky enough to get a table it will be a great treat. I had a nice chat with Jennifer while I was waiting, she’s worked at the restaurant for nearly 7 years now. Covid has been hard on our restaurants, especially those that are a bit out of the way and generally catering to tourists as well as locals. Consider making a drive down to help support them, even if you don’t get a table…one thing the Seward Highway is not short on are perfect spots to picnic!

Good BBQ for Alaska. Juicy and flavorful pulled pork, moist cornbread, decent Mac and cheese. The ribs had good flavor but were a little dry, as was the brisket. I recommend trying everything with the mustard BBQ sauce. If you are around for brunch, the pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The biscuits and gravy was tasty, but wasn’t served with enough gravy.

Had the brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. Both were very good but the roll actually lessens the overall taste and experience. The roll makes the meat seem dry, but it isn’t. It is very tasty, especially with the selection of BBQ sauces they offer at the table. Service was great, professional and wonderfully courteous.

Fantastic service and food. Great view of Turnagain Arm from outdoor deck. Great place to stop on your way to or from Seward, Kenai or Whittier. Good selection of beer. Everyone one in our group and of 4 enjoyed their meal

Local pit bbq just across from the Turnagain Arm. Lovely views. Wish they had a sweet honey bbq sauce. Food was great, and they had a decent selection of beers.

The location of this barbecue place is its biggest draw. It’s got a five-star view and three star food. The sauces available for their barbecue are very runny and don’t add much flavor to the pulled pork which has a very minor smoked flavor.

One of the best spots in Anchorage – I’ve lived in Anchorage from 2014 to 2019 and I can say that this is one of my favorites. Good food + good view + reasonable pricing = True Alaskan Restaurant
