About the Lucky Wishbone Restaurant

Step back in time at Anchorage’s hometown favorite — where great food, friendly faces, and good memories have been served since jukeboxes ruled the scene. The Lucky Wishbone has been a true Alaska landmark since before we were even a state — back when it was still a territory. We’re proud to keep tradition alive with our famous pan-fried chicken, made-to-order hamburgers, and old-fashioned milkshakes that taste just like the good old days.
