A locals hangout. I had an omelette and it was cooked to perfection—thin, light, nothing runny inside, and not brown on the outside. It was probably the best omelette that I’ve ever had.

Saverio’s pizza is just as good as Moose’s Tooth. They are smaller and have fewer varieties, but if you are going for taste, we highly recommend it. There may be a wait (same with Moose’s Tooth), but it’s worth it. It’s family run so check that they aren’t on spring break or vacation. Bonus is that Wild Scoops ice cream is in the same mall.

Tasting room with good food trucks usually on the scene. Farm produce sold twice a week. Owned by my cousins, built on my Grandparents’s original Matanuska Colony farm. The Matanuska Colony was one of the New Deal projects in 1935.
