Eddie's Fireplace Inn

Locals in King Salmon still point you to Eddie’s after 16:00

Eddie’s Fireplace Inn sits in Terminal 1 territory near King Salmon Airport, running now as a bar that opens around 16:00 while the restaurant side stays closed “until further notice.” Historically, the kitchen ran roughly 08:00–14:00 with breakfast flipping to lunch about 11:00, so older online reviews talking about pancakes and burgers reflect that earlier schedule, not what you get today.

Figure on $$ pricing, roughly in line with other King Salmon spots mentioned on Yelp and TripAdvisor, with past diners calling portions “solid,” especially the fries. A 4-star average rating comes from people who liked simple bar food and quick service more than ambiance. Right now, expect bar basics like frozen pizza rather than the fuller menus that older reviews describe.

Regulars treat Eddie’s as a watering hole first, food stop second; one r/alaska commenter literally calls it “a bar that has food too.” The bar keeps evenings going when other King Salmon kitchens shut early, so anglers and seasonal workers roll in after late flights for a drink plus whatever the bar is heating up. If you want a proper sit-down meal, plan that in town earlier in the day and save Eddie’s for backup.

Watch out for the service vibe: a TripAdvisor reviewer notes staff “isn’t super friendly,” even though their food came out fast. Another complaint centers on those short daytime hours, about 08:00–14:00 back when the restaurant ran, with people wishing for dinner service. That gap now widens with the main restaurant closed, leaving some visitors surprised when they arrive expecting full menus and find only bar options like frozen pizza after 16:00.

Practical tip: if your flight lands after 18:00 and you care about more than a hot slice and a beer, eat in Anchorage or pack something before heading to AKN, then treat Eddie’s as your backup last-call bar in Terminal 1’s orbit.
