Couldn't say how the food is here. We stood by the Please…read morewait to be seated sign for at least 10 minutes and nobody acknowledged us, not even eye contact. We gave up and left. They had several empty tables and the bar area was almost empty. While waiting I had plenty of time to notice how run down and dingy it is inside. When I looked in the bar it smelled musty. We talked to another couple at the RV park we are staying at and they had the same experience.

Our cruise ship stopped in Haines due to adverse weather conditions that didn't allow us to stop in…read moreSkagway. Although it was raining and windy we got off the cruise ship and walked about 15 minutes to this restaurant located adjacent to a small boat harbor. I was surprised more cruise ship passengers didn't stop in here to experience this adorable little slice of old west Americana. We arrived soaking wet and were thankful to have a nice quiet, toasty and warm space nearly all to ourselves. Here's a few things we loved: Views: unobstructed view with small boats, and great view of the cruise ship in port that dwarfed everything else in the area. Peace and Tranquility: after being on the endlessly noisy cruise ship it was almost jarringly quiet in here with the soft rain and gray clouds outside we enjoyed the fact we were about the only patrons in here and could have a nice conversation over a cup of coffee without yelling to hear each other and no constant clanking of dishes. Service: prompt, courteous, super nice polite waitress. All our food came out quickly, hot and exactly as ordered. Food: we ordered the halibut n chips, chowder and shrimp. The halibut was fresh, and perfectly breaded, with a light beer type batter, crispy on outside and juicy on inside. Tartar sauce was on point! Fries/chips were as expected. Chowder was rich and had good flavor also. Shrimp cocktail as expected. Of course the halibut was the star of the show as expected. Do yourself a favor, when in Alaska you must always order whatever fresh local fish they have no matter what! Beer: we had the Alaska White beers on tap and they paired quite well with the fried halibut! Overall we loved this place, primarily for the quiet ambience, and super fresh halibut. If we ever get back to Haines we want to come back to this restaraunt for sure, and would love to try the attached bar and pool table room which looks quite cozy but was closed at the time we visited. Looks very "Wild West" cozy with great Alaska beer selections as well!

We came like everyone else, from our cruise ship the Carnival Luminosa. There was a line going out…read morethe door, but we opted to stay and wait because we heard great things. We were so glad we did. The hostess was a gem (sorry I forgot your name sweetie) who was juggling managing the front as well as helping clear and prep the tables. She did a great job keeping everyone informed of their wait. When it was our turn she gave us a choice of tables since I am in a wheelchair, which I thought was very helpful. Our server Rori introduced herself and told us that they just seated a group of ten, and if we were ready to order she could get us in so we could get our food before the big group. It worked out perfectly! We shared the two piece king crab and it was delicious! Tender and sweet. Unlike other famous places in town and in Juneau, which we have tried, who were extremely salty. These were perfect! Turns out they are steamed and not cooked in a vat of saltwater. Hubby ate every bit of the fried Halibut and said it was perfect!! We can't wait to come back next year and try the sweet tea which looks like two or more servings and comes in a cute fish bottle. We also want to try the chowder or bisque!! Thanks Rori and team!!

I went to Skagway Fish Company, looking for steamer clams, but apparently they are not having them…read morethis year. I instead chose the peel and eat spiced shrimp. I ordered them hot and they were hot when they arrived. They were actually very delicious. They were on a bed of arugula with a bit of melted butter, which was strange. The menu said that they were steamed in Old Bay, but I didn't get a lot of Old Bay flavor. The flavor I did get was a slightly curry feeling with lemongrass and a little bit of a zing. They were delicious! I looked at other people's plates, including the crab. The king crab looked great, but was very expensive. During the summer on Saturday night, they offer sushi specials so I'll go back to check that out later.

This is our first stop on our Alaska Cruise. After doing the White Pass Railway we walked into…read moretown. Everyone is here as there are 3 cruise ships in port today but, Skagway Brewing Company is down off the Main Street so it was quiet and it was also before 11am. Cute place! Quite large with dining upstairs and down with a bar upstairs too. I loved the sign by the bathroom. They have a balcony that is only for drinking. . Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and a cool interior. We walked right in and were greeted friendly and sent upstairs where we immediately sat down. Our waitress was nice and took good care of us. I ordered the blackened southwest salad with halibut. OH MY GOODNESS! Their salad dressing is house made, the blackening spices they used on the halibut is house made AND they have an aeroponic garden so all their greens are grown right there and are the freshest and tastiest I've ever had! Now, I have to say, if you are in Alaska, GET HALIBUT!! I have to confess halibut is my absolute favorite fish so I died and went to heaven. Excellent salad! I ate every single bite and I got the full salad. Totally worth it. I also got their house made root beer that came in a super frosty mug and was delicious!! My husband got the beer flight that has four 2 oz beer pours. He also got the Brewer's Alaskan Halibut fish and chips. The fish was so hot and fresh he had to wait to eat for a bit! The fries were super tasty, crisp outside and perfectly cooked inside. He enjoyed his beers too! I'm a bit sad we won't be back in Skagway as I would eat here again! If you come to town, eat here. Do it. You will be very thankful! Also they have cute gift shop with swag on the first floor. Thanks Skagway Brewing Company!!

The bartenders were very friendly and knowledgeable. My husband enjoyed their amber ale. Definitely have a variety to choose from as well as wine. They also have a great selection of food items. People were waiting to get a table for lunch. Would definitely recommend this brewing company to anyone who visits Skagway, Alaska.

Naturally with the name I had to come. SUCH a great experience. I came the last day of the season…read moreand Olivia herself was there. What a treat she is! I was trying to get some souvenirs and she told me a couple spots to check out and held my table while I went across the street! I wanted something fresh and local and they're a great place for that. It's her parents restaurant and her mom grows herbs that they use in dishes. Olivia travels a lot so it was serendipitous that I actually got to meet her! Seemed like a spot a lot of the locals hang at, felt very homey, Cheers type everyone knows your name place with delicious food! I did a Rojito, seafood pasta and a side of crostini. The drink was so refreshing! I remember her mom was involved with its creation and of course it's her fresh grown mint! The pasta had huge chunks of very tasty seafood! Outside of being here (AK) I probably wouldn't order something like that but I'm glad I did. The pasta was delicious and the seafood was fresh. The crostini's were so good too. I hear they have great desserts but we shared a fry bread earlier and there was just no room for more. I got a shirt bc I couldn't not. I truly loved it here. Such a chill, kind vibe. If ever in Skagway I'll be back. Thank you to Olivia and team for more than making me feel welcomed.
