Pete's Barbecue

Pete's Barbecue is a beloved Eagle River institution and one of the most popular takeout spots in the Anchorage-area north corridor, serving slow-smoked BBQ and a surprisingly broad menu from its Old Glenn Highway location. Open since the early 2000s, Pete's has built a devoted following among Eagle River residents and commuters who know to call ahead on busy nights. The menu centers on classic American BBQ — tender smoked ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, beef brisket, and burgers — alongside a full Asian food menu that has become equally popular over the years. The combination of genuine BBQ craft and Asian-inspired dishes reflects the multicultural tapestry of modern Eagle River. Everything is takeout and delivery only (no dine-in seating), which keeps the operation lean and the quality consistent. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the smoked meats consistently draw praise from regulars who've tried BBQ joints far and wide. If you're heading out to hike in the Chugach or spending a day at Eklutna Lake, a Pete's order makes for a perfect post-adventure meal.
