I drove past this hole in the wall, old time strip mall, full parking lot, and made a mental note..."Gotta give Granny B's a try". Today I did, and I am really glad I finally did. Granny B's is a little gem on the south edge of Spenard, on Tudor.
Granny B's offers up a small menu with breakfast and lunch. They serve it up fresh, fast, and friendly...with generous portions. I am a breakfast lover, and I was famished, so I ordered up Nat's Omelet: grilled turkey, crispy bacon, and swiss cheese. For an extra $1 I traded up my toast for a biscuit, and then ordered a side of gravy.
The omelet was above average, but filled with a hearty blend of turkey, bacon, and swiss, and then topped with more swiss and more bacon. With the side of crispy hash browns (just the way I like them) it would have been more than enough. But wait! Don't forget that biscuit and gravy!
In my opinion there is only one place in Anchorage with a better biscuit and gravy (my beloved Spenard Roadhouse). These are fresh and piping hot, and the gravy has a nice sausage/gravy ratio.
Granny's is not going to blow you away with fancy culinary offerings like the Spenard Roadhouse, but it is perfect for what it has to offer. This is a cozy little place with great historical photos and blue collar dishes. I doubt you will be disappointed, and hey, any place that actually has a condiment table with a variety of hot sauces from which to choose is pretty great in my book.

Hello Cliff, my name is Sarah and my family and I are going to be visiting Alaska this month (14th-21st). I was drawn to your blog because my father is a USS swim coach for Terrapins in California. He absolutely LOVES great food (as do we all...). We have never been to Alaska--any suggestions for must-eats while we are in Anchorage?
