Food Factory - Bldg Fort Wainwright

Stopped in for a late lunch and were seated promptly. However it took almost 40 minutes to get our food. Waitress was very polite, but barely keeping up with the amount of tables she had. The poutine was amazing, failed to get a picture though. We had the Buffalo Chicken sandwich and Fairbanks Hot Chicken Sandwich. The chicken was way over cooked and chewy on both. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich wasn’t anything special. The Fairbanks was good aside from the overcooked chicken, the sauce on it was delicious.

Great vegan options!! You can do any of their cheesesteak sandwiches with vegan meat. I tried the veggie cheesesteak, and it was absolutely amazing! They also have vegan fried artichoke hearts with a vegan ranch to dip it in that was crispy, well seasoned, and delicious. I wasn't expecting to find such incredible vegan options in Fairbanks!

Cheese curd appetizer was hot and good but also very greasy. Had the Cheese steak with fries and buffalo wings. Both were very good. The service was friendly spot on.

For this town, 5 stars means it's good food. So when I give this 5 stars, it's not because the food is incredible. It just means the food is better than anything around. That said, the Philly cheese steaks are tasty. The cheese was melted into the meat and mushrooms and onions. The bun wasn't overly baked, so it was nice that it wasn't crazy crunchy. We got the cheese sticks as an appetizer and they are good. The Jalapeno ones are better than the plain, in my opinion, but they are both still good. Service was good. They told us to sit where we wanted but it did take quite a while to have a waitress come. Once she did, it was great service. The only true complaint about the place is it is a bit pricey for what you get. The cheese steaks are over $20 a piece and the appetizers range from $10-20. I'm not sure it's worth it for the price, but at least the food was better than everything else in town.

Ate here while vacationing in Alaska. We found the food to be quite good. While the prices are higher than similar type food back home in Iowa, prices were reasonable compared to other restaurants in the Fairbanks area. We received good and friendly service. I found the men’s restroom to be quite messy but that was the only negative.
