    Max is an oyster lover. I am not. The weather was beautiful today and we decided to get Max his fix before we boarded our ship. Max got three different oysters. The two ladies who worked inside the shack were very friendly.

    Great stop for oysters. Order at the counter and plenty of space to sit. We ordered 2 dozen oysters and they came out fairly quick. No one else was there as it was an odd time but definitely recommend. Oysters were fresh and liked the unique mignonette and hot sauces. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable.

    fresh oysters! yes we had some even after the delicious king crab legs we got. great services, wish they would have some beer on tap to go with the oysters!

    Best oysters I've had in a while - extremely creamy and fresh. My only advice is to get 6 dozens instead of 3.... Because you might not find any at your next cruise stop

    Jase, the owner outside their Oyster Corner!

    This is such an awesome place, owned by long time Ketchikan residents. Let me tell you: you won't find oysters this fresh anywhere else! They source all of their oysters locally, helping other local area businesses and offering you a taste of the fresh Alaskan ocean! You can definitely taste the difference. They also have a handful of sauces and accoutrement to complement your oysters. In the afternoons they also offer grilled oysters and their secret seasoning mix is to die for! Come quick, they only have a limited supply every day! It's also great to support locally owned and operated businesses!

    Delicious oysters! Tastes very fresh and I love the sauce that comes with it! Friendly service and cute Alaskan vibe with outdoor tables to sit at.

    Super fresh and delicious flavor!!! Most definitely the grilled oysters are the way to go!

    my god. delicious oysters!!! they had the canoe lagoon when I went today, and they were definitely a bite of the ocean as the lovely staff described. had it with the provided lemon and mignonette!! so good! go for local oysters if that's your thing!!!

    Big place, fast service: draft beers while we waited for our order; shared tables, tasty Oysters and the price was right.

    Some of the best oysters I have ever had and I consider myself an oyster lover.

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.

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.
