Guidebook for Kenai Food & Drink
Food Scene
Probably the best restaurant in the twin cities area right now. The menu is varied and everything they do is farm to table quality. They pride themselves on locally sourced foods. Specials are always changing. Highly recommend checking them out for a nice meal with wine. (note: wine & beer only) They run on a policy of 50% reservations and 50% walk-ins so be aware of this on busy nights. The owners name is Luke tell him you are my guests and he'll take care of you.

A Kenai institution that’s been in business longer than I have been alive. Their menu runs everything from Greek (the best) to Seafood, American, Mexican or Italian. Everything they do, they do well. Hands down it’s also the best pizza in Kenai as well. The bar provides full service drinks and they also deliver.

A pillar of eating in Kenai for 25+ years. Beyond the best Seafood around (try the coconut salmon or halibut burger) the entire restaurant is covered in Alaskan artifacts and animal mounts for a really great experience. The portions are huge and they have full service bar. Reservations may be needed in July.

Located in Old town Kenai it’s the best burger in town by far! Served out of an eccentric school bus this low-key place has been serving up spectacular summertime burgers for 20+ years. Seating is limited to a few picnic tables and check the hours or call before you go but its well worth it!

Drinks & Nightlife
Full service bar with great on tap beers. Roomier than The Back Door and does live music and dancing plus has a full room dedicated to darts and 2 pool tables. Everything I have ever had here was really well done and was a great value (check out the buffalo chicken dip and the pork street tacos). Note: Main Street Bar & Grill is fully non-smoking but there is a very nice outdoor smoking section that you can dine and drink in if you’re so inclined.
