I’m learning guitar and piano here and am really enjoying it!
We love our piano teacher, what great lessons so far!
I highly recommended this school! My son is taking classes here, we love his teacher and my son is always excited about every class even that he is 4 years old he is always ready to practice at home to show us what he is learning. Mr David is the owner and Ms Jessy is my son’s teacher, they are very professional, they are always ready to answer you any question and they are so helpful. I’m thankful for this school, we love it.
Eddie has taught guitar to my kids, and they all think he’s great! He’s engaging, knowledgeable, and patient while educating his students on theory and technique. Perfect!
4. Redbox
Address: 11836 Old Glenn Hwy, Eagle River, AK 99577 , Eagle River , Alaska , United States
It’s great that the Eagle River Carr’s finally put in a Redbox in their store. It is located inside along the wall between the Denali Credit Union and the customer service desk. Love being able to have the option to pick up or drop off a movie when you’re running in for a few groceries.
Cheap new releases, nice option
9. TrustWorthy Hardware and Lumber Supply
Address: 17034 N Eagle River Loop Rd STE 101, Eagle River, AK 99577 , Eagle River , Alaska , United States
Great store! Friendly staff, they were all super knowledgeable and helpful. We had a complex plumbing project and Justin set us up with everything we needed to get it done.
A builder’s choice absolutely.
The best hardware store ever. Always helpful and for a small store it has it all
Selection of many things is fairly limited. In the unlikely event they have what you need though, is an easy place to get in and out of.
Great variety of hardware, tools and miscellaneous home stuff. A bit pricey compared to the big box stores, but too close to home to pass up. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I’ll be back!
Helpful alot of the merchandise was cheaper than Anchorage
Customer service is not their strenght.
Came in about 4:30 on August 10, 2020. Had to wait to go in as two customers stood in the doorway, conversing with no masks. Not TW fault. However, once inside, NO ONE had on masks! No customers that I saw, nor either of the two employees. When I asked where their masks were, they replied that we didn’t need to wear them. We turned around and went to AIH were everyone was masked up. So disappointed at the lack of respect for fellow human beings.
I don’t normally leave reviews, unless warranted. Experienced very bad customer service at Trustworthy Hardware. I would recommend driving to Lowes at Tikahtnu Commons in Anchorage; especially if you just want to be treated with basic respect. I like to support our small hometown businesses, so I really hate having to provide this review.
10. Jitters… Where Coffee Is An Art
Address: 11401 Old Glenn Hwy #107, Eagle River, AK 99577 , Eagle River , Alaska , United States
Good coffee, fast service, every table full … very busy, popular spot.
Great coffee
Great coffee and atmosphere! Worth the drive from Anchorage or the valley.
Great coffee, tea and baked goods. Plenty of gluten free options.
Decent coffee and fair service.
Had the lavender fields special (lavender matcha) and the vegetarian Breakfast Burrito. The latte was pretty good and so was the burrito. The burritos and pastries are grab and go, there’s a microwave at the dirty dish station. It had a cute note saying how long to microwave different goodies, and sure enough, in 1.5 minutes my burrito was perfectly hot. You can get salsa and/or sourcream with the burritos, and there are plenty of other options for breakfast too.
I loved the interior and huge stone fire place. A great place for a morning drink and breakfast.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Breakfast Burrito available, and bagles and pastries too.
Burnt and flavorless coffee.
Worst coffee experience in my life. No customer service at all. Was rude about a charity ticket and kicked me out of their store while the manager (owner) was on the phone. So much fun to pick up Charity tickets. Now to get a real cup of coffee at a better run establishment.
Service was fair. Tea was served lava hot. Without any warning. Not anxious to go back there
Little less items that looking for but beautiful location
I would give this place 10 stars if I could. I usually hate having to go to Walmart but this small and quaint store is so clean, so friendly and so organized I found myself coming here everyday during my weeklong visit. This is also the ONLY Walmart I’ve seen to have paper bags
Nice store. Clean. Wide aisles.
Good hours and selection.
Very clean location. Wish there was more in the apparel selection wise. Employees radio was broadcasting through the PA and causing feedback. Otherwise a pleasant visit.
It’s an average Walmart nothing much else to say
Bathrooms are disgusting. Watched 4 cops chase a shoplifter down on foot and make a huge scene calling in the firefighters and everything…
Alrighty alright
Shelves are poorly stocked and I could find none of the items I was looking for
13. The Possibilities Shop
Address: 12212 Old Glenn Hwy suite c, Eagle River, AK 99577 , Eagle River , Alaska , United States
My absolute favorite antique store!! I recommend this place to everyyyone! The owner is so sweet and kind, last time I went I actually picked out a shirt and glass that used to belong to her. The place is very full so definitely plan to spend some time there. There is something there for everyone!
Cool stuff
Wonderful shop with a little bit of everything! I highly recommend this place even if you do not intend to buy anything. The owner is honest and kind – stop for a visit and you’ll more than likely find something you’ll want to buy 🙂
Lots of treasures and trinkets. Fun and therapeutic to sort through
I went inside and smiled. The lady was very kind and was helping a customer. I can hear them exchanging stories. While browsing, I saw plants against the window. I enjoyed looking around. I was comfortable! I found couple cups which reminded my of my grandma. Also bought two books made in 1940s. I would go there again!
Lame
Thrift store
14. Boondock Sporting Goods
Address: 17007 N Eagle River Loop Rd, Eagle River, AK 99577 , Eagle River , Alaska , United States
This is a great gun shop. The staff is awesome. It’s not a big box place. They are absolute professionals in the field. And prices are reasonable. They are patient and spend whatever time you need to make a decision.
Knowledgeable, helpful, local.
Good selection of guns, reloading equipment, accessories, and ammo. Had ammo in stock that was hard to find elsewhere. Good reputation from locals I’ve talked to as well. I found the customer service to be excellent from very knowledgeable sales personnel. Prices were better than many of the other shops I’ve visited. Cash only though. They are definitely a little behind in technology but it’s not that big of an issue. I’ll definitely be back!
Very friendly! Lots of good stuff here
They are a little rough around the edges. Bring cash because they only take cash. 4 stars is due to the cash only issue.
Their hotspot is really great
Just got off the phone with them, they’re new transfer fee is $75, when I originally posted this review 6 months ago it was $30. I’ll just deal with EAGLE RIVER GUN CASHE.
Below is my original 5 STAR Review, my how things have changed.
I had a gun shipped there recently, I definitely plan on dealing with them more often. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They definitely go out of their way to help you. Whether it be just asking question or finding the right magazines or holster they are happy to help. No more driving to Anchorage, I’ll deal with these guys more often.
Nice shop little gun shop… HOWEVER every time we stop by they’re too busy talking with folks they know etc. Today we stopped in to buy a Kimber Micro 9mm Black Ice, we stood around for some time and no one acknowledged our presence? So we left and went to Bass Pro Shop. We bought the gun, ammo, holster, and we were on our way home in under an hour.
Maybe these folks should dedicate a cashier that could at least check with you and direct you to someone that could help you.
Disappointed… Might try again?
For lack of better words they’re a bit “behind the times”. Went shopping with a friend of mine this past weekend and overheard a couple guys talking about fishing when one of the guys began to tell a story about a “colored guy from Georgia”… I guess for a second he forgot that a black guy was standing about 6 feet away from him but then remembered as he paused after his opening statement. I liked this place before but I won’t be returning. It’s 2022 my guy get with the times.
15. Custom Jewelers Of Eagle River
Address: 11823 Old Glenn Hwy STE 103, Eagle River, AK 99577 , Eagle River , Alaska , United States
I needed a small repair on my watch. Shane returned my call quickly and was able to do the job at a very affordable price. Great experience. I would highly recommend custom jewelers of eagle river. Thank you !!
I stopped in to have the battery changed in my movado watch after the lady at Fred Meyers in Anchorage said they weren’t allowed to do movado batteries (which I don’t understand as the one in wasilla has done it!) but she did me a huge favor. I loved this place and even saved some money. The adorable little dog who is apparently the shop manager (lol) made my day as well! I will absolutely be back for all of my future work and hopefully for some new jewelry… awesome!
My son and I stopped by to get a gold chain fixed and appreciate the excellent customer service Shane provided to us. Shane promptly and expertly fixed the chain, and he is so friendly, personable and kind. We also loved seeing his fur baby…such a sweet and precious dog to greet us.
I am so glad we stopped by since we had such a great experience. We will definitely return in the future if we have any other piece of jewelry requiring repairing or to make a purchase. I also appreciate the convenience of having a fine jewelry store in Eagle River.
Thank you Shane, to you and your sweet pup! My son and I appreciate the excellent service you provided to us. May all of the genuine kindness you extend to others return to you tenfold.
16. Redbox
Address: 13401 Old Glenn Hwy, Eagle River, AK 99577 , Eagle River , Alaska , United States
Always great to have a convenient place to pick up a movie right inside the far end door from the entrance of Fred Meyers, either at the last minute as you’re going in for groceries or picking up a snack to go along with your movie. As always you can take the movie back to any Redbox that’s closest to you.
17. McDonald’s
Address: 11808 Old Glenn Hwy, Eagle River, AK 99577 , Eagle River , Alaska , United States
Much better with the mobile app. Makes the drive thru a breeze.
Meh. It’s Mickey D’s.
While McDonald’s is usually a reliable experience, this one was poor
All of the food was luke warm at best, and not as ordered.
Muy buena su comida.
Usually I’m alright with them taking a while. They only have teens working in there. But this time absolutely atrocious.
Firstly, a girl probably about 16 years old took my order and she was super rude and snarky towards me. She had a red zip-up hoodie that read “mickey” on it. She didn’t have her name tag visible.
Then I pull through the drive thru and it takes forever, I get told to pull to the third window and count 12 cars getting their food and driving past before I got mine.
Thankfully one employee redeemed this part of my visit being so sweet, kind, and smiley. Her name was Wren. Wren, if you see this, keep being you!!
Chatting amongst themselves and having a good time was more important than doing their jobs. Literally no one was moving with anything that could be referred to as speed. But there was plenty of laughing taking place. Another customer complaint stated. I can believe that. The young managers also have their favorites & even physically like to take things out of your hand because they don’t like working with older adults. Tell manager, they don’t care. But what can you say. Eagle River is small. To the little youths that like to disrespect older employees.
Super slow drive thru on a Saturday night at 8pm
18. Redbox
Address: 18600 Eagle River Rd, Eagle River, AK 99577 , Eagle River , Alaska , United States
This is a really convenient location for picking up movies, but you better make sure you reserve it before you pick it up, because I’ve had them disappear on me if I didn’t reserve them.
As time progresses, the items get more interesting
19. Fred Meyer
Address: 13401 Old Glenn Hwy, Eagle River, AK 99577 , Eagle River , Alaska , United States
Was happy because they have such a good selection of food,clothing, and household items.
I love this place! They have everything needed for home, kitchen, auto, sports and even a jewelry store. Grocery selection is excellent and in my opinion is better than the big box stores. Seafood was well stocked. Meat selections were great as well. Super good variety of cheeses as well. My go to place while on vacation in Anchorage.
The food at the deli is awesome. The employees are always very nice and they have the best food choices always.
Not the newest or brightest stores bit it is always well stocked and the service is always seemless.
Clean, lots of options
Typical Fred Meyer better than Wasilla
Mark at customer service needs some retraining in regards to talking with customers. My 3rd encounter with him being nice to other customers maybe he had a problem with people who don’t fit his customer service demographic. This was at 9:40 am.
Waited in line and had our groceries on the belt and the cashier “James” went and put the lane closed sign in front of our order. It was very rude and unprofessional. Way to serve your customers
7 people behind the deli counter! Waited as long as I could and left. I know 4 of them saw me but each just quickly looked away and went back to paperwork or stocking.
20. Horn Doctor Music Store Inc
Address: 1000 Ingra St, Anchorage, AK 99501 , Eagle River , Alaska , United States
This place is great! The staff are very nice and knowledgable!
Great place
Very well organized and stocked. Fair prices and courteous staff
Great selection and prices! It’s a one-stop shop for music lovers and customer service here is top notch in the valley!
Went to a string event very nice.
got a mic from them and the cashier that day detailed which one is which…great customer service
Hello review readers, I bought a pitch pipe from here, only to get home and learn that it was defective. Like many of us up here, we do not live in the Anchorage area, thus my visits to Anchorage are saved for when there are enough things to take care of to justify the drive into town. Needless to say I did not get the pitch pipe tested at home and back in Anchorage within 7 days. This, I just learned, is the return policy for The Horn Doctor. Therefore, when I recently went into the store, told them of the defect, they tested the “D” on the piano, agreed it was not a “D” and responded, it’s outside the 7 day return window, there’s nothing we can do. There is something I can do…. warn others so that we can be careful what we buy here, as they are not willing to stand behind the products they sell.
I agree with the previous review, went to horn doctor, they quoted me $250-500 for my sax to be repaired. Took it to Music Man, $50 and a week later, the sax sings. How does this shop justify $250-$500 when another can do fix it for $50 blows my mind.
