To us, this was the best meal of our entire cruise to Alaska, including the ones on the ship! This lovely establishment is run by a lively couple - Todd and Srisa. Todd is the fisherman who goes out to catch your crab just an hour or two in advance of your meal. Together, they prepare a wonderful meal of steamed Dungeness Crab that is the freshest ever, accompanied by servings of Thai Fried Rice for everyone in your party. Mix the chunks of crab into the rice and voila' - The best crab fried rice I've ever tasted! Both of them cook and together they come out to present each course. The dessert is a delicious homemade berry cobbler made from wild berries that Sri handpicked herself. Just WOW. C A L L A H E A D ! ! ! Their usual mode of operation seems to serve private small tour groups, but my advice is to call ahead of time to reserve your table (ideally before you board your cruise) and tell them which day you are coming into Icy Point Strait. They'll definitely save a table for you if you give them a heads-up! D I R E C T I O N S : If your cruise ship itinerary says "Icy Point Strait" as a stopover, take the little shuttle bus on the far side of the visitors center for $5 each. Or.. just walk the 1.2 miles over to the nearby town of Hoonah. Hoonah is a tiny little village filled with fishing boats and a minimum of touristy kitsch. HBH is on your way into town. The shuttle bus passes HBH on the way in, and drops you off in front of the harbor marina. Set your sights a couple of blocks back along the shoreline from the harbor and you'll find Hoonah Beach House (HBH). We would love to dine here again!

Highly recommend if you're exploring Hoonah! It's a $10 shuttle ride or 1.5 mile walk…read more Came here for a port call and this place was the highlight! We opted in for the $10 shuttle to downtown Hoonah and it stopped right infront of this place. The staff was very friendly and recommended the burrito, which my husband got. He said the burrito was delicious. I got the Right On- omg amazing but portion size for 2. Love the gravy and the biscuit! Perfect savory goodness I wanted. We also got 2 coffees that were great and we continued to drink them as we explored the jetty. The layout was perfect; we opted in to sit inside but they also have seats outside.

They might deserve only 3 stars this trip, last trip was a very solid five. Gave them extra star due only to being locally owned. For the food, it definitely went downhill. Last time biscuits were more flavorful and the gravy was delectable and full of many flavors. This time it's slightly better than the canned country gravy. The eggs, while can tell they are eggs, are extremely dry and overcooked. One of the ladies that helped me seemed to have a wedgie, very tight mannered, kinda pleasant but not at all. The other one who helped me was vice. Still enjoy the location overlooking the dock with some mountains in the background. Don't know what happened but hope they improve to last years level. Really sad, really truly sad. Couldn't even finish the whole plate. Maybe I'll be back if bored bit ship has better food this year. Which is also sad. Edit: Wish could remove the tip, not at all satisfied with service.

First of all let me just say WOW. Do not let the prices deter you from visiting this restaurant…read more Besides the king crab, there are lower cost options that are phenomenal. Our table ordered one pound of the king crab special that also came with a claw. It was AMAZING. They gave you these great crab cutters that they also let you take home with you. Our waitress was on point when she washed them and brought them back to us. SUPERB service. We also ordered crab bisque, crab sliders, and fried shrimp. The bisque was DELICIOUS. It rivaled the lobster bisque I enjoy on the coast of Maine.... Dare I say even better. The shrimp was fried perfectly and the coleslaw on the crab sliders was SO GOOD. The ambiance is cool. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you and announce the state you live in. It was fun hearing from where everyone was visiting from. I was skeptical that such a hyped up spot would live up to my expectations but I was WRONG. It far exceeded my expectations. This place is a MUST.

Overall I thought it was good, but the price is what makes it hard for me to fully love it. The crab legs are huge and definitely easier to get the meat out, which I liked. The crab itself was good, but for me it was just missing a little more flavor to justify that kind of price. The crab bisque was ok and I felt like it needed a little hot sauce. Crab cakes were also ok. I'm glad we tried it and I can see why it's popular if you're stopping in Juneau and want to do the king crab thing at least once. For me this is probably more of a one and done spot. Good experience, but I'm not sure it's worth spending close to $400 again when I think there are better values out there.

I came to the Fairweather Dining Room inside Glacier Bay Lodge after completing the day tour boat…read moretrip throughout Glacier Bay National Park. Although I wasn't a guest at the Glacier Bay Lodge, it was actually my AirB&B Host who suggested I make a reservation for dinner first thing in the morning when I arrived at the lodge. And...btw, Glacier Bay Lodge is the departure point for boat trips out on the waters of Glacier Bay. The dock area is located right in the rear of the lodge. I was fortunate enough to grab a 6:15pm reservation, though this was for one of the last weekends of the tourism season, at the end of August. Also, one more thing, lol...to explore Glacier National Park...by boat is the only way it can be navigated. The National Park Services in conjunction with the Glacier Bay Lodge offers one, 8 hour excursion from 8am - 4pm every day throughout the summer season. The website for boat tours is: https://www.visitglacierbay.com/tours/glacier-bay-day-tour/ So, it just efficiently made sense to have dinner here at the Fairweather Dining Room after finishing seeing Glacier Bay. I would also recommend to others out there to take the day boat tour and come here for dinner. Almost everyone on my tour was a familiar face eating inside the dining room afterwards. Another thing, lol, if you're not staying at Glacier Bay Lodge...then there's not many options to eat in the remote town of Gustavus. After dinner, my AirB&B Host was kind enough to pick me up at the lodge and drive me back to my cabin. Some details about this Fairweather Dining Room... - It had a cozy and rustic feel to it. There was a fireplace right nearby within the lodge. - The menu is limited to just a few options including salmon, halibut and fish and chips. There was also ribeye steak and a chicken dish. But, of course, when here on the Glacier Bay waters of the Inside Passage of Alaska...how can you not have seafood? I chose the halibut. According to the menu... "Baked Alaskan Halibut with lemon herb compound-butter, red-skinned garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed carrots and asparagus". As usual, it didn't eat heavy so I had room for dessert...a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream, drizzled caramel syrup and whipped cream (which wasn't even on the menu, but suggested by my server). Lastly, I had a decent view of the boating dock pier though the whole day was dampened by cloudy, foggy and tough conditions outside. Overall, eating here at the Fairweather Dining Room was still a rewarding way to end my visit to Glacier Bay National Park. I really liked the food, service and charming setting.

We came here on our way back to Juneau from seeing the Mendenhall Glacier…read more I got the Texas size fish and chips. Hands down incredible halibut. It was not overly battered and perfectly fried. It was so fresh. The sidewinder fries were awesome! The Drive Through burger was delicious and the fries were also yummy. We got the pickles in the side - the person running the truck told us he makes the pickles. They were sooooo good. He also brought out a sample of the bbq chicken for us and it was very good. We sat at the table outside and ate the food and it was great! I will absolutely be back here the next time I am in Juneau. This place is a must-try!

While this isn't my favorite (try Sandbar), the fish is fresh and it's pretty hard to complain. Another win for fish and chips in the area. The shape of the potatoes is a bit weird looking, but surprisingly it works and they were nice and crispy. I did think the fish batter was a tad doughy on the inside, and yet a little overcooked on the outside. Not the end of the world though, and I still enjoyed it. We did stop by during the week for lunch and the truck was closed, which was a bit annoying. One of the brewery employees said this place doesn't always open reliably, for various reasons. Just something to be aware of. Better luck on the weekends. Overall it's a nice spot right next to the Alaskan Brewing Company, which has lots of great beers and a nice patio spot out back to eat your fish, have a beer, and hang out with your dog. Yum!

First it's in an open area with several food trucks. Deckhand Daves is first as you enter. I recommend the taco sampler. I ordered this with a side of fries. Fries were nothing special but we devoured the tacos. It's from a small shack, plenty of seating in the wooden deck area covered by Edisson bulbs. There's fresh free water in service. Next to deckhand Dave's is a crepe place, oysters and champagne, and a beer boat. Yes, this place is magical. The attendant was so sweet and friendly, she walked us through the menu which ultimately lead us to pick the sampler. We are so glad we did. Plus this place has gorgeous views of Alaska skyline, waterfalls, and the main part of town. Great place to rest, splurge, and enjoy Alaska at its best.

This spot has set the bar for me and every time I eat a fish taco now, I will cry a little inside knowing I'll never get this perfection again.

We stopped at Tracy's King Crab Shack while in Juneau doing the Alaskan cruise…read more There are two locations, this location being less busy than the main location. There is one bathroom on site. Discover is an accepted form of payment. There is a 2.5% surcharge added to credit card sales. There is a $2.50 up-charge added for to-go items. Wine and beer are available for purchase with a 3% liquor tax. Every step of the process is self-serve; from ordering food, picking up food and bussing own table. The entire establishment is in refurbished functional sheds. Seating is outdoor picnic table, covered tent style. There are several photo stand-ins on the property creating fun photo opportunities. During our visit, I slurped on a pint of Alaskan Husky IPA for $8.50. We shared a small (qty 6) Mini Crab Cakes for $10.95. I ordered a pound of Alaskan Red King Crab for $85; served with garlic rolls and butter. This crab was a test in patience to say the least. Lots of cracking needed to be done and it wasn't easy. My daughter ordered a pound of the Dungeness Snow Crab for $35. We all had a great time sampling local Alaskan seafood at Tracy's. Definitely a highlight of our stop in Juneau.

We ended up tasting the Red King Crab, the Gold King Crab, the Snow Crab, the "limited special" shelled seafood cup, the lobster bisque, the crab cakes, the rolls, the fries, and the queso. We also had the iced tea cocktail. I personally prefer Snow Crab and it did not disappoint The Iced tea cocktail was also really good. While it is not my preference the Red King Crab leg was also outstanding. Had these been my only items, I would have given the review 5 stars. The lobster bisque, queso, fries and rolls were good if you are in the mood for those items specifically. The seafood cup, which you would think came from the same crabs, was disappointing. It was dry and required the cocktail sauce and lemon. The photograph made it look like there were big chunks, but it was pretty much shredded. I asked the older lady cashier about it when we first ordered the crab legs and then ordered this in our second round. I feel she could have given a little more infirmation about it. Either way, I would not order that or the crab cakes again. If I am even in Juneau again, I'd definitely save my money up fir a stop here!
