King Crab Leg
David B.

Absolutely amazing place with great view. The king crab legs were seriously amazing super fresh and cooked perfectly. But what really stood out was our waitress, Austin! She was so friendly, fun to chat with and made the whole experience even better. Great energy, super attentive, and just overall awesome. Definitely coming back! Thank you Austin!

We missed our flight due to some issues with the airline stranding us in Ketchikan for the day. Lucky us we stopped in to enjoy lunch. Friendly staff. Cold beer. Great deals on crab legs. Wide open dining hall very inviting place to enjoy some real fresh seafood.

Enjoy King Crab and great service here It was our last chance to have Alaskan King Crab in Alaska and it was not to be missed. After touring through the shopping district and getting omiyage and souvenirs, we had sufficient time to sit down for Alaskan King Crab that had not left the state (lol). We bumped into folks who were leaving and asked for their recommendation. Thumbs up! We were promptly greeted and seated. Our server was especially helpful and friendly -- made us feel at home here! Hope to make a return visit in the near future!

We wanted to try some King Crab and got a leg to go for $50-60. Ate it on a bench outside the building. Split it between 4 adults and a toddler. My granddaughter loved it. If you are a cruise, I would get crab at another place/town because of the cost.

Being the closest king crab shop by the pier likely leads many people to this restaurant located upstairs. I would tell them to keep walking. There was about. 25-30 min. wait for a table, and while that was to be expected with 2 ships in port, it was the lack of service and extra fees that drives the score for this restaurant. After finally getting seated, it took another 15 minutes to have a waiter even acknowledge us. It took a while longer to even get water and ultimately order. Once we got the crab, it had good flavor, though was definitely a bit pricey. The fries that came with it were crispy and coated. The final surprise came with the bill as there were multiple charges for both a mandatory tip and a kitchen service fee. This seems a bit overkill and explains why the lackluster service as they have no need to go above and beyond or even go beyond the bare minimum since they were assured a tip. This should be made clear on the menu or on signage as required in many other locales as I'm sure many people have tipped extra. This is not somewhere I'd likely return as there are other places to get crab legs with a bit farther walk.

Most expensive crab and seafood in Alaska. I'd expect for the prices that are charged that the service and food would be exquisite, however average is a much better term to describe it. Restrooms were dismal and dirty as well. Most appalling is the undisclosed 18% gratuity which is automatically added. The company should invest more in its customer experience and product if it expects to automatically charge such gratuity.

We traveled to Alaska from the US on a cruise and I was so excited to have some authentic Kong Crab Legs. The restaurant was open and spacious. We were welcomed by friendly staff and taken to an open table with a beautiful view of the ship. It took a minute for our server but we were patient. We she was knowledgeable about the menu when we asked about potion sizes. My fiancé ordered the beer sampler. This was 4 small local beers from the area. We split the crab legs and they didn't disappoint. You could tell they were fresh. They were hot and easy to pick. The butter was perfectly melted and soo good. I wish we could get these as good in Denver. Our waitress was friendly and we made short talk about the states and how she likes living in Alaska. I would definitely go back again. I would totally recommend if you're in the area. :)

The fish & chips steal the show! They were SO delicious that my family and I ended up ordering an extra entree. They were so fresh and they were fried perfectly. The crab we ordered was okay - nothing special, a little bit more on the dry side which was a little upsetting. Shrimp was nothing special. Service was great - the host and our waiter were very attentive.

A nice find! Located on the 3rd floor across from the docks. Many places had lines including general bathrooms. I went in and there was no line, bathrooms were clean and the service was excellent. Ordered our food to go since we had to be back on the ship soon. While we waited I ordered a "duck fart", it was good! The food was delicious!!! We sat out on our deck and had our lunch. My husband said the fish was amazing and I had the crab wontons, they were fully stuffed and fantastic!!! I also bought one of their cute hats! Enjoy!!!

Great first experience with crab at Alaska King Crab Co.! I had the Crab Combination with a king crab leg, Dungeness crab cake, and a cup of clam chowder - a bit pricey but definitely worth it. As someone who loves shrimp and lobster, I can't believe what I'd been missing. Trying crab for the first time in Alaska while on a cruise was unforgettable! The servers were friendly, and the place was clean, which added to the overall great experience. Highly recommend if you're in Alaska and want a taste of fresh, delicious crab!

We came here after a local recommendation The salmon was OK, but we were hoping for more smoked salmon with more flavor however, this one was grilled with very minimal flavor. Even so the service was absolutely incredible and the view on the third floor was great. The cruise ships blocking the ocean. There is a large bar area and plenty of seating even for large families

Best damn Alaskan crab leg and drinks in town. Must ask for Austin. She was an amazing Craft Bartender with wit and awesome jokes. Highly recommend this place when you are in Ketchikan!! Wish we had 2 days to hang at this place with her.

King Crab Leg

Food was good. King Crab leg was huge and really meaty. We also had the Fish and chip and teriyaki wings and all were really good. Our waiter Justin was awesome. Great lunch coming off the cruise ship.

BTW, the necklace he's wearing is the key/payment chip for the ship!

Highly recommended online and by locals. It was packed after the Lumberjack show, so we came back…read morefor dinner. The Alaska tacos were delicious; loved the slaw, but I prefer the halibut to the salmon. Great view of a small harbor with fishing charter boats. We saw a seal pop under the nearby building and walked down the ramp after. Very friendly staff!

Tourist trap that unfortunately has 1) overpriced mediocre food and 2) the customer service of an…read moreangsty teenager. Let's start with the first point since that's what you're here for: The batter on the fish and chips is well-fried but bland. The dungeness crab is nothing to call home about. Save your money and buy crab from Costco or across the street--unless you want to spend $50 for 1lb of mediocre crab. The fries and salmon chowder are honestly the best part as other reviews have indicated. But everything is absurdly overpriced and nothing special. The latter point is what drove my rating from a 3 to a 1. Seating is self-serve. Tables are packed inside, so naturally after ordering food, we find available seating at the tables in front of the restaurant. 25 minutes later, a young girl with blonde hair brings out part of our order along with a snarky comment, "Next time, can you guys let us know if you're going to sit outside." Excuse me? Next time, why don't you tell me where I should sit if the tables DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF your restaurant are not an area you check when serving food, despite there being a sign about seating literally next to those tables? Then a second girl with red hair comes out and adds, "You guys can't drink alcohol outside." We apologize and explain that we didn't know. "Well there are signs everywhere." Okay. There are literally NO signs that say that (I challenge you to take a look through all the atmosphere photos from other reviewers and find one with the sign about 1. "notifying the staff you'll be sitting outside" and 2. "not bringing alcohol to the tables in the front") EXCEPT at the back patio of the restaurant... which no one would see if they're sitting inside or in front. Of course, we still respect the restaurant rules and move our stuff to their back porch "seating" (5 chairs propped against a fence with a 4-inch ledge) and finish dining. Upon leaving, we were met with glaring stares from the 2 girls behind the counter. Absolutely unacceptable behavior from a highly rated restaurant. Here's a tip for the waiters: if your customers make a mistake, kindly redirect them rather than assuming they did it with malicious intentions. And don't double down on your accusations if the customer apologizes. Here's a tip for cruisers to get better food for better value: try the fish and chips or fish tacos in Juneau at Deckhand Dave (MUCH tastier and MUCH cheaper at $21 for Halibut fish and chips), and eat at other local restaurants in Ketchikan instead.

We had a little time to kill before our excursion in Ketchikan, so we ducked into The Krabby crab…read moreshack for a warm-up and to escape the cold, rainy, dreary weather. First impression? This place is way cooler than your average coffee stop. During the day it's got the cozy café vibe, but you can tell it flips into a bar at night kind of a two-for-one personality. Now, the front-of-house situation deserves a shoutout. One woman was doing it all: host, server, cashier, barista you name it, she was wearing all hats. Service was on the slower side (understandable with one person running the show), but her energy was so upbeat, friendly and engaging. For drinks, we went with an extra-hot vanilla latte and a chai latte. That chai? Easily top five of my life spicy, creamy, just perfect. We couldn't resist grabbing a snack too: crispy king crab wontons (can't remember the exact name, but you'll know them when you see them). They came with this cheesy dipping sauce that was ridiculously addictive. Here's the kicker though two lattes and that appetizer set us back about $40. Not cheap, but honestly, that's kind of the Alaska way. Everything up there runs pricey, so you just roll with it. All in all, The Krabby crab is a great spot to hide from the elements, recharge with some caffeine, grab a little bite, and yes they even have a nice bathroom, which every traveler knows is a big deal.

Really good thing that they open early. Jimmy wanted his Fish and Chips before 10 am after our…read morecruise was on dock. Walking around and see they open already with nice clean look. So we went in. Services were great as staffs are so friendly. Food is in the higher price range for me. Fish and Chips in the picture is $28. However, it's understandable as it is tourist area. So we are happy to pay.

There's an inherent health risk to eating raw oysters, and my hubby found this out the hard way…read moreafter downing a dozen from Alaskan Oyster Shack. Now I don't necessarily blame the establishment (they publish tons of warnings and you consume these at your own risk), but the food poisoning he got here did leave my hubby out of commission for two days during our cruise to Alaska. So be aware. The shack is located right off the cruise dock in Ketchikan. The day we visited, they had two varieties on offer: Blue Starr and Canoe Lagoon. Hubby got a dozen sampler plate for $40 before tax and tip. The couple running the Shack were very friendly and chatty, and they made us feel so welcome. This is a strictly outdoor restaurant, so we grabbed a picnic table along the water. The oysters looked nice and fresh, and they smelled of the sea. Nothing was "off" about them at all. They were served with the traditional mignonette sauces that were very good. I didn't eat any oysters, so I didn't get sick. But my hubby sure did, and within a couple of hours of eating here. I don't really think I can recommend this place but then again, it was his choice to consume raw shellfish. Just be careful and be aware in case you get a bad batch.
