Local guideLate night food in Anchorage: what is actually open
It is midnight, you are hungry, and half of Anchorage is already dark. Here is the honest lay of the land, and where to get a real meal late.
The late night reality in Anchorage
Anchorage is not a 24 hour town. Most kitchens wind down by 9 or 10 in the evening, and after that your choices drop off a cliff. A few bars keep a limited menu going later, gas stations have the usual, and the big chains come and go. If you have ever circled around at 1 in the morning looking for something better than a heat lamp hot dog, you know the feeling.
Where a real kitchen stays open
City Boy Burgers keeps the flat top hot when almost everyone else has gone home. We open at 5 in the afternoon and cook until 3 in the morning on Friday and Saturday, and until 11 PM Tuesday through Thursday. That means smash burgers, a patty melt, shoestring fries and wings, made fresh to order, well past last call. Not reheated, not vending machine food. A real burger.
Built for the late run
Everything about City Boy suits a late night. There is a drive-thru and a walk up window, so you order, pay, grab your buzzer and go. No dining room means no waiting on a table. It sits in Mountain View, easy to reach from downtown and the east side. Do not want to leave the house? Get it delivered on Uber Eats or Grubhub.
