Had the 2-piece rockfish & chips, panko shrimp & chips, and chowder. The chowder was really good, and everything tasted good overall. I just felt the shrimp portion was a little small for the price. Service was okay. We sat inside, and the atmosphere wasn't quite our favorite, but the outdoor porch was really cute. Unfortunately, it was raining, so we couldn't enjoy it. read more

Got an order of the seafood chowder to go. One size only, between a cup and bowl size. Chock full of salmon and rockfish pieces with some clams. Excellent taste. Comes with crackers. Would definitely go again. read more

We stopped by here after an 8.5-hour cruise--it's super convenient since it's right across from the harbor where the cruises dock. Prices lean toward the higher side for a casual establishment though that seems to be the norm in Seward. For comparison, I paid about the same for fish and chips at another nice restaurant nearby the night before. A heads-up: the fish here is fried with panko breading, so if you're (like me) expecting New Zealand-style or classic English beer-battered this might not hit the mark. The fries were excellent tho and the seafood chowder was the real star--rich, flavorful, and loaded with salmon chunks. Would I order the fish and chips again? Probably not. But I'd definitely come back just for seafood chowder!! read more

My wife and I took the Alaska Railroad Coastal Classic to Seward on May 31, 2026. Got off the train and walked from the Seward Depot toward town. We were hungry and we could choose all the well-known tourist eateries and pay big bucks, or we could go into Alaska Seafood Grill for a more quiet, family-friendly experience. Walking in at 12:40 PM, we saw that we needed to order at the counter and they would bring the food to our table. There were some open tables, so we did not have to wait to be seated. We reviewed the items on the chalkboard menu above the ordering counter. I don't eat seafood, but luckily they offered a BBQ Bacon Burger with fries. My wife ordered seafood chowder. We also ordered a side of onion rings and bought a brownie for later. I found the burger and fries to be very filling and tasty. My wife enjoyed her chowder. We both liked the onion rings, which were NOT greasy at all. The brownie was soft, chocolatey, and VERY good, just the way we like it. The inside of the restaurant is definitely not what you would call a high-end environment. But, it was clean, quiet, functional, bright, and, most importantly, had clean tables and chairs on which to sit. The staff were all very friendly and answered all our questions. There was a man, perhaps he was the manager?, who walked, dressed, and spoke like he would be more at home in Boston instead of Seward. This is NOT a complaint about him, just an observation. We spoke with him and he answered all our questions in a friendly manner. I don't know that we will ever visit Seward again, but if we do we would definitely return to Alaska Seafood Grill for lunch. read more

My family and I drove up to Seward for the day, and after visiting the aquarium we started looking for a place to grab lunch. My daughter spotted a small seafood restaurant tucked into a corner, so we decided to give it a try. I completely forgot to take photos of the food, but I ordered the halibut--and honestly, it was probably the best halibut I've ever had. Everything we tried was delicious. I noticed a lot of people coming in specifically for the seafood chowder, so I'm guessing that must be amazing too. The employees were friendly, the restaurant was clean, and they even had outdoor seating. read more

Complete idiots working here. Ordered two milk shakes. Girl behind the register didn't make them, nor did she give the order to anyone else to make. It took another customer ordering ice cream for her to get someone to make the OTHER ORDER. We went up to the front to express we had been waiting over 30 minutes and now you were going to make the ice cream order for the customer who JUST ordered? Complete waste of time dealing with horribly trained employees. Hard pass. read more

My absolute favorite place to grab a bite to eat after getting off the boat working all day or just getting a bite to eat after doing nothing most the day. Always the best customer service and super friendly staff 10/10 would recommend! read more

Alaska Seafood Grill - Seafood Near Me - Seward, Alaska

Very limited options and VERY VERY EXPENSIVE for such a casual ambiance place. The vibe says wings, pizza, and paper plates with your buddies. The prices say fine wine and white tablecloths. There weren't a lot of options on a Sunday evening in the fall. The seafood was WAY too expensive for what they were offering. Literally can get a 5 star meal at some places for what they're charging here, so we got a pizza, and my husband got a side of fries. We watched the football game while we waited so that was nice. The fries were meh. We left them largely unfinished. I'm super picky about pizza, and their pizza was very good. Sauce and cheese were ok, but the crust was outstanding. It's literally one of the best I've ever had. Toppings were generous by Alaskan standards. Appreciate that the drinks were free refills. From a pizza perspective only, especially if you enjoy sports, imma a say this is a solid 4. They even had a few beers on tap, which may make the difference for some folks. They also have a small deck and a VERY nice view. read more

Food was fresh and tasty. I got a salmon bowl and the rice was fluffy and the salmon tasted home cooked. It was served with soy sauce and tartar sauce on the side. My brother got the fried salmon and said it was also really good fried fish with tasty sweet potato fries. You order at the counter and they'll call out your number. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

The food is decent, and prices may seem high, but they are comparable to the other restaurants in this tourist town. I tried the crab cake sandwich which I have never had anywhere before. It was good although the crab cake patty was a bit bland. The cod and rice was very tasty, with good flavor. read more

I can't speak to seafood, but their coffee is terrible. No coffee at all in my daughters iced latte. The 2 hot latte's taste like regular coffee. I got the regular coffee was not impressive either. The breakfast sandwich was pretty good. read more

Things are expensive in Seward and the pickings are slim, but at least this restaurant offers a fair quantity of food and we found the Rockfish Fish and Chips to be as good as anywhere we have tried before. French fries were good. Service was friendly. Ambiance is simple. Clean and well stocked with condiments and supplies. We also had breakfast there in the morning before starting our fishing charter. Again, it exceeded expectations. Simple, quick, and good. Had a breakfast burrito and three breakfast sandwiches. I'd go back. read more

I didn't find food being exceptional ... typical "fry" everything till in no taste of food, only oil... had to wait for simple food for over an hour after we've been seated... waiter forgot second round of drinks, we left without it... read more

Good breakfast at 5 am before fishing. Definitely going back again. Good service and friendly. Menu was great but not available.

Their website says you can order box lunches from open to close, so I do that, I get there and they tell me they don't make lunches till 12. i order a energy drink and some other stuff on their website to take on a boat ride at 5:30 am and again, they said they don't know what I'm talking about.they need to get their story straight on their website. Also with this, we ordered a breakfast combo on the website, and we got 1 biscuit, a small on at that. read more

The salmon looked and tasted fresh. The fries were fresh and hot. Perfectly cooked (needed a bit of salt). Service was efficient. Establishment was clean. There was a football game on (a plus). All in all, a good stop during a cruise ship visit to Seward. read more

Alaska Seafood Grill - Fish and chips - 3 piece salmon. Two panko fried and one grilled. - Seafood Near Me - Seward, Alaska

We wanted fish and chips without going to a sit down restaurant and this place was perfect! Between the members of our party, we had the halibut, the salmon, and the cod fish and chips. All were excellent. The panko coating was crisp and not at all oily. The sauces seemed to be made on site (not sure) but were delicious. Not sure why it has a lower star rating here--the reviews seem to indicate that it's due to the prices, but we checked menus all over town before picking this place and the prices were comparable. Seward is just an expensive place to dine out. The portions were generous enough that we could have split two portions between the three of us in our party. Ignore the bad reviews and give it a try. We LOVED our fish and chips! read more

Great place to fill up on pizza or halibut. The people there are great, very friendly. Consistently a nice experience with solid, good food. Dipping sauces for halibut are great. Portions are big. read more

Good, fast service. Pricey, as expected for the location. The fish (halibut) and chips were good. The fish was breaded, not battered like in the picture on the building. The fries were nothing special. The salmon and rice was flavorful. The chocolate shake was good. read more

This place has a laid back atmosphere, not a fancy joint. However, their food hit the mark. Their seafood chowder was seasoned very well, and I paired that with the rockfish and chips. That was also done well. Two thumbs up for this place and their service was great read more

We stopped in mid afternoon on a Saturday and were treated like we were important customers. The menu varies to accommodate seafood and meat eaters both. Our group tried the cod and chips, halibut and chips, coconut shrimp, seafood chowder and a kids burger and fries. Everything was delicious. My only regret is that we don't live close so we can't be frequent visitors. I highly recommend Alaska Seafood Grill the next time you are in Seward. This is the sort of place @guyfieri should visit on his next Alaska tasting. read more

Alaska Seafood Grill - Halibut and chips. The homemade tarter sauce and the pesto sauce are both the bomb! - Seafood Near Me - Seward, Alaska

We had just finished an morning excursion of glacier dog sledding and was looking for lunch, it was actually a bit sad to see most of the restaurants were closed at the Seward port. The few that were opened was swamped with long lines. We walked into Alaska Seafood Grill because it was the first one we see without a line and open! The menu was quite limited, but I got the halibut sandwich with fries and hubby got the fried halibut with shrimp and chips. Have to admit the price was quite high for over-counter food, but hey you are in a very touristy town of Seward! We found a table outside and our lunch was brought out to us about 10 minutes later. It was fresh, delicious and definitely satisfied our hunger. Thank you for staying open during this crazy Covid time! read more

Number one reason for the three stars is that pricing just does not match what you get in return at all. I paid $28.75 for fish and chips (only two pieces of Halibut) and a diet coke. The two pieces of fish I received were super small and the fries were eh.. Not at all justifiable for a no-frills shack. Also, about 80% of the menu board was barred out upon arrival and as most of the restaurants are closed for lunch and only open at 4pm, this is one of the few places in your list of lunch options. So good luck. Seating is limited and I was fortunate to be the first one in the door when they opened. read more

Stopped in with the family during our trip in Seward and we were very unimpressed with this place. First, my husbands fish had so many bones in it and the cod looked like mushrooms. Very odd. We also ordered a "crispy chicken sandwich" which turned out to be a Tyson chicken patty with a slice of Kraft cheese thrown on with no bun/bread. For $15, I would not have paid that for a Tyson chicken patty. The half decent good thing on the menu were the fries. Very overpriced for the quality of food. read more

I am not sure why this place only averages three stars. It is a bit pricey and the fish in fish and chips is a bit greasy and not beer battered, but the halibut inside is perfect, the fries are good, the beer is good, and the view in the outdoor seating area is great. It hit the spot. read more

The low reviews made me hesitant. But someone once told me, "For the best food, find the 3.5 star reviews on Yelp." This rule never disappoints. 5 star Yelp rating = bland/boring food. 3.5 star = flavorful meal. I had the salmon fish and chips, family had the fish chowder. We were all pleasantly surprised. And I am not sure what they put in the green tartar sauce, but wow, that stuff is good! read more

Worst fried cod I've ever had. Basically inedible. It's was cut into little steaks instead of fillets. We had to pick bones and skin out of it. I've never been served cod with skin and bones in any restaurant ever. I'm assuming they probably got small whole cod from the processor for dirt cheap and are trying to capitalize off it instead of buying larger more expensive fillets. It tasted like one would imagine pet food would taste. The restaurant was not very clean and had a stink dirty smell to it . I would eat anywhere in Seward before this shithole. read more

I went here to get food to go. Ordered the crab cake (12.50 for 1). And clam chowder, after I put in my order and paid to wait for my food I noticed a few things that bothered me. First there is covid and seward has a mask mandate and not 1 employee was wearing a mask. They have customers share a handful of ketchup bottles. I reviewed my receipt and noticed they charged .25 for 2 to go containers, but if you eat there and ask for a to go container they do not charge you. Which their employee confirmed. Of course did not tell me of the charges when ordered. On top of all of that, when reviewing my receipt (after i paid already)there was a "rounding adjustment " to make the bill round up to the next quarter. I asked about this additional charge and she said it was due to a change shortage.....I PAID WITH A CARD. Secondly there is not a sign or any employee telling you. They are ripping people off slowly and it is sad. Food was fine but not good enough to overlook the bad business practices. Very disappointed. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a rainy week and most of the restaurant were closed. Either due to Covid or low tourist season. This place is one of two restaurants that was opened. We were cold and wet and wanted something warm so we ordered the chowder. Y'all!! Get the chowder. It's the best thing on the menu. We followed up on that with the 3 piece salmon and chips and a dozen oysters (only comes deep fried) and some Alaskan "burrs". Oysters tasted fresh and were nice and juicy. The salmon were ok no wow factor but nothing disappointing either. Overall, it's a quick and easy place to grab and bite and enjoy the scenery. read more

Terrible. Avoid. Tried Rockfish and Halibut. Panko breading was little heavy on the fish and no flavor. Fries were terrible as well. Little overpriced for place without any flair or food without flavor. So many better places in town for some fish and chips. Seward Brewing and Gold Rush Inn both have better fish and chips. read more

Upscale seafood prices for subpar basic fish fry. I'm sorry but the rice bowl fish is such a low effort dish. Doubt the salmon was seasoned with anything besides salt and pepper and was over cooked. Very bland rice and veggies too. I would recommend the owner try out a different fish fry style. The batter is a bit too thick and too crunchy. Maybe try a lighter beer batter style? read more
