How can you go wrong with a restaurant that had "dessert" before "dinner" in its name? The Wolf Run Dessert & Dinner House was conveniently located just a couple of miles from our B&B in Fairbanks. Selected as the "Best Desserts in Fairbanks" for several years in a row, this cozy restaurant will surely delight you.
Located in what was originally designed and built as a private home in the 1960's, Wolf Run Dessert & Dinner House has been serving the public for nearly 15 years now. The log cabin building looks like rustic mountain, something that you might expect to find in Alaska. As you enter, you will be greeted by their friendly wait staff who will seat you on one of the three levels of this split level home.
We enjoyed soup or salad before our dinner entrees, making certain to allow plenty of room for the desserts that keep folks coming back for more. While Cathy and I opted for the broiled halibut special, Jon selected a rather sweet version of pork marsalla. Unfortunately, he didn't find the sauce to his liking not that it was bad.
Our dinner entrees were served with crisp carrots and snap peas. They added a nice balance to our meals.
With dinner behind us, the real decision was upon us: Which of the half a dozen or so desserts would be indulged in? I quickly zeroed in on the Kentucky Derby Pie, while Jon selected the Key Lime Tart. Cathy chose the Cold Fusion . . . a three layer chocolate explosion of taste sensations.
Dessert certainly made the meal, with each of us believing that we would have to make one last stop for dessert only some evening before leaving Fairbanks. While a dessert menu for special and to go orders is available, the nightly offerings do change daily.
Wolf Run Dessert & Dinner House is open daily for lunch and dinner, with abbreviated hours (11am - 3pm) on Mondays. They do accept reservations, which may be necessary on weekends. You can also call in your to-go order as well as whole dessert orders for that special event at home.
