Double Musky Inn

User Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

After living in Alaksa for over 10 years and hearing such wonderful things about this place, I decided to make it the pinnacle of the evening for my first wedding anniversary. I still wonder, did I end up in a paralell universe? I feel like I got hosed after reading everyone else's reviews. Nothing about this experience was good. It started with waiting to be seen and then escorted to the bar to wait. Once there we order very over priced drinks, but the cheapest on the menu. My husbands tasted like nothing, but did come with a cherry. My drink was o.k. but for the price, a fresh strawberry would have been nice, vs. a frozen one that resembled a blot clot in my drink, making it most unappealing. Next, we had the cajun mushroom, that touts it's spicey...not sure where the spice was. There was more deep fried batter than anything. Finally, after 1 hour and being bumped into by other patrons, our table was ready. But even though we only needed to walk only 15ft, we had to clear out tab of 18.00 for 2 drinks and 11.00 for mushrooms. Needless to say our table was right by the entrance where anyone else coming for a meal would have to loiter and as close to the mens room as you could get. We were greeted reasonably fast by our waitress. We both knew we wanted the "world famous pepper steak" so our order was easy, the only difference was the salad dressing. Salads arrived, nothing there except lettuce and dressing which they got wrong on my husbands. Dressing amount too much for amount of salad. She said a few times she'd be back with fresh pepper, but we ended up using the shaker from the table. The bread was cold and hard, we didn't eat it. It suposedly had cheese and jalapenos, but we didn't see any. Steak finally arrived. From the first bite we were repulsed. The steak was decent once you got past the fat, but gravy was putrid. Our potato had twice the amount of sour cream needed. We both love sour cream, but OMG! The atmosphere is horrible. Seems like most emphasis is on the wine cellar. There is a beatiful fire place that serves as a storage area rather then lend itself to some ambiance. We also got to listen to "poopie" stories most of our meal by a 8-9 yo boy. Nice. Maybe a "pricey" and promotedly upscale restaurant could cater a little more to the adults that frequent this playground called Girdwood and have a separate area for those with children much like bar is for adults. While some of this is the issue of the Double Musky and some is not, the fact remains on what should have been a romantic evening back at the B&B that we paid $200.00 for the night was wasted as we were both sick with horrible diahrea in the bathrooms. Try as I might I can not find one saving grace for this place. Oh, yeah..forgot the imported beers we ordered were awesome. In talking with some Girdwood locals were heard stories of the place having gone down hill in the last few years. A mention of "the son took over" was the promient reason for the decline. Skip it! Double Musky meal was $100.00 for two for two drinks, two beers and two steaks. I have had better steaks at Lone Star. I should also mention we have eaten all over the world, maybe some folks who haven't will continue to recommend this kibble, I for one can not. I truly would not have fed that steak to my dog. Avoid it. If you want to eat in Girdwood, you want quality food, serice and atmosphere, go to Seven Glacier Restaurant at Alyeska Resort. I recommend the Ahi, but that's another review.

The food was decent, but no where near good enough for the 1.5 hour wait we had.

Double Musky: This is a great place to have some fantastic cajun food. The pepper steak is awesome. You won't be able to eat it all because of its size but it's a great snack later. They don't take reservations so if you go on the weekend it's going to be packed. You may have to wait durnig the week but it won't be as long. During the summer it doesn't matter when it is, its busy.
