Super fun little bar. Famous for Bloody Marys with lots of trimmings, including a crab leg. Asked for them to e spicy and they were. Comes with steamed shrimp, crab leg, olives, etc. You get a little paper boat thing to put all the stuff on. They are $24 each. Ordered the reindeer chili as well. It was delicious. Service was great. Scenery awesome. Yes, pricey but for what you get it's good!!! read more

At the end of the promenade, we reach the Crab House. We order a couple king crab legs and a Dungeness crab cluster. The king crab meat is sweet, huge, and firm. You need a special crab tool to cut through the spiky shell. Like a can opener, you tear a line from end to end. Dipping every morsel in the drawn butter is a special treat. read more

Sadly this was some of the worst crab legs and shrimp we had in Alaska! We understand that there aren't a lot of options in Icy Straight, but this needs some reform. The crab meat was falling apart in like a shredded state. Half of the shrimp were cleaned and were tough. The service was pretty good and ambiance and location was also pretty nice! Just need some food reform. read more

The food was good. Our cruise ship was docked nearby and we needed to sit a group of 10. This restaurant accommodated us. It is pricy though. I think a king crab leg was $129. read more

Just ate lunch at this establishment with my lovely wife. Service is great, setting on the dock looking over the ocean creates a great setting. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the food leaves much to be desired. read more

Best price we found for crab on our Alaska cruise! Grabbed king crab and snow crab, as well as the double stove cider Meggie made works of art out of the Bloody Marys! We thought the chowder was also the most reasonably priced across all the ports. read more

The salmon chowder was my favorite. Hubs and I each had one and shared a cluster of each of the crab. That was more than enough to satisfy! I also tried the crab bloody Mary. That was packed with stuff. It was $24 but had a ton of crab in. It has a crab leg in addition to a generous clump of crab. read more

The crab and shrimp was amazing!! We went near end of day no crowds. I would go agains

We've been there on Sept 04, ordered a whole dungeonness crab, the service was fast but the crab came out cool and very dry, the butter was rancid and tasteless ! It was not worth to try seafood here and it's also pricey! I think crab from Costco tastes even better than this crab! They need to improve the quality of the food and even the service! read more

First off - I think I seafood in Alaska is a major rip times 4. Oh, the seafood itself is great stuff and cooked well. But the prices are beyond ridiculous. Pictured for 3 people...plus (2) chowders...that was $373. Correct - $373.00. $47.50 a cluster for snows. King Crab $100-$115 lb. And I thought the crab were caught right there? lol. I can get snow crab...shipped to the middle of of the US...all the middle men making theirs - and it's 12.99 lb (even $9.99 lb) on sale. A pure tourist trap rip off it seems. And everywhere does it (it) seems - because they can. I'd suggest you think twice in this one - as the seafood isn't that much over the top better seafood. After doing it in this day, I'd absolutely personally save the money. read more

Stopped here on a whim and I'm so glad we did! I was initially not going to get anything but ended up downing their chowder which was tasty but I was wow'd away by their bloody Mary! Actually got full off of the toppings alone and I like how the flavor of the drink doesn't taste like someone put a straw inside a ketchup packet and then began slurping it was balanced out very nicely and is by far the best Bloody Mary I've ever had. Love it! Only reason why it's not 5 stars is because service at bar was lovely but I can't say the same for the lady that took our food order. Other than that it's a great stop! read more

We were sailing on the Disney Wonder with our first stop being Icy Strait Point. One of our top bucket list items for Alaska was to get some crab, so we were determined to make it happen after docking! And honestly, this little town doesn't have a whole lot of options for food - Crab House seems to be the standout spot. I'm glad we came here a little before lunch, as it was empty. The crab we ordered came out hot and fresh and was exactly what I'd hoped for. While they do have Alaskan King crab, I went with regular cuz that stuff is 'spensive. But lemme tell you, that bad boy was HUGE and came with plenty of butter!! To make it even better, you get a gorgeous view of the bay right outside the window. Right around noon, it seemed like everyone and their brother came in and were swarming for tables, so I'd recommend coming either earlier or later than lunchtime. We loved Crab House! It was the perfect place to cross of that bucket list item. read more

The salmon chowder was good. Very delicious and full of flavor and salmon chunks. The reindeer chili was amazing. I wouldn't know it was reindeer (besides it was written on the menu) but if that's how reindeer taste then I am a fan. Both came out hot which was nice on a cold day. The drink was good, maybe a bit too sweet for me but I can see why it's popular. The servers were all very friendly and patient with everyone trying to order. There is plenty of seating and once you're done the tables are cleaned quickly. read more

There were no prices listed. I ordered a cup of salmon chowder. It was a small cup that tasted like canned salmon with a roux to thicken it. It was ~$11. Soda was ~$6. The view is great outside but it's a tourist trap. read more

This is one of the most memorable places we ate/drank on our 19 day cruise from Long Beach to Tokyo. It all started when I saw the Bloody Mary with about 2" of crab on top. I said "let me have one of those". A few minutes later the girls joined me and we shared Dungeness crab [whole crab or two clusters]. It was enough to give us a good sampling. I was going to order the reindeer chili but the girls would not participate and i so I decided not to order it. I also had one of their local seasonal ambers. They had allowed me a sample so I knew that it was good. That's always helpful. The people working there were really nice and they were jumping. There were a lot of people in there but they handled it very well. Place looks like it belongs in Alaska. Big, clean and woodsy. I don't know, is that a word? But that's what if felt like. Again, of all the places we went to, this was one of the places we talked about the most. read more

I think for the serving size they could use real melted butter for the crab! It tasted like maybe popcorn oil. I thought it was a cheap out from what should have been a fun snack. read more

I came for the crabby bloody mary and it was delectable! The place is pretty crowded and inside seating is pretty limited. There is additional sitting outside on the patio, which is where we sat. I must say the bloody Mary is the bomb!! We had a couple of crab clusters, because when in Rome... Anyway, the crab was good, the bloody Mary was wonderful, the beer was cold , the service was fast, the staff was friendly, so overall a good experience. Order at the counter, get your number and find somewhere to sit. Your food will appear as if by magic. If you get the bloody Mary, you have to go to the bar to pick it up they will not bring it to you. If you have a hankering for some seafood, go on in. If you want a damn good, bloody Mary, definitely go! read more

Really awesome dungeness crab here! Fresh, steamed to perfection and just plain ʻonolicious delicious! Ordered 2 claw dungeness. My fave crab is Kona Crab but this dungeness was sooooo good and no buttah needed. Pricey but worth the value. - chowder is nice but not memorable. Wait till you get back on the ship. - great place to hang out with some beer and crab! Drawbacks - BYO CRAB Tool - dungeness is easy to break but the claw can be really hard. Donʻt use your teeth! Chopstick provided to help push the meat out. - not many tables inside - long line - order at counter, no table service. read more

The line was long to get served/seated. I suggest going to the bar if you want the crabby Bloody Mary. It was delicious and had plenty of crab meat, shrimp, a large crab leg and the usual veggies. I will definitely make my way to the Crab House on my next visit. read more

Was told that this was the place to get some crab legs and TBH they were okay. Ordered the dungeoness crab, peeled shrimp, and salmon chowder.

Our cruise ship docked at Port Frederick where we walked over and rode the green gondolas (free ride) to a former cannery. As we wandered through the Hoonah Cannery Museum, we came across the Crab House nearby and decided to try it out. THE FOODS | Select seafood (crab, shrimp) with a few speciality soups, and chicken jambalaya. I ordered... - Fresh Dungeness Crab | Steamed and deliciously silky/tender. Dip it in the clarified butter, squeeze a bit of lemon, and let all the freshness melt into your mouth. - Alaska Reindeer Chili | Wasn't sure about how it would taste, but it doesn't taste gamey at all. It tastes like ground beef. Layered with cheese and chopped raw onions, this side dish warms you up after spending the day out in the cold, crisp weather of Juneau. - Smoked Salmon Chowder | Creamy with bits of smoked salmon. Just a little more seasoning and this would've been a hit with me. Both soups come with oyster crackers. THE DRINKS | Select beers, cocktails, and wine. - House Speciality. Alaska Crabby Bloody Mary | Made with a special blend of tomato juices and house seasonings, garnished with crab meat, shrimp, celery, lime, pickle, olive, pickled Alaska Beach asparagus and a crab leg. The flavor is tomato juicy with a hint of vodka and vinegar from the pickled asparagus and pickle. It's very mildly spiced and the garnishes alone make for a aesthetically pleasing cocktail. - Cannery Red Ale | Alaskan brew by Denali Brewing Co. It's malty with a nice finish. THE CRAB HOUSE FEELS | Spacious and clean. Wood everywhere; wooden beams above, wooden floors below, and wooden bar top. During our stop, the place was packed with other cruise folks and finding an open table was difficult. We ended up sitting at the bar which had plenty of counter top space. THE PARKING SITUATION | We took the green gondolas and walked over to the Crab House by following the paved sidewalk. However, there is a small parking lot nearby if you happen to have a car on the island. THE ORDERING LOGISTICS | Stand in line and order at the front counter, which is located past the bar at the back. read more

The food was delicious! The portion was small considering the price you pay, but keep in mind it's all tourist. There was a long line out the door and it took forever to order. They only had 1 cashier taking orders but 2 registers. It took longer to order your food than it too to actually get your food. The staff was not very friendly, but they were super busy. There is plenty of space to sit down. The blood mary was amazing! The dungeoness crab was sweet and yummy! read more

Well, the food is good, and the seafood is delicious. However, AK King Crab is very expensive now. Most is coming from out of AK, so expect to pay 80$ lb .I had the shrimp instead and the seafood BM drink, which was huge. This is an excellent little port. Put on your walking shoes and ride the tram to the other side. Good shopping and very nice knives too. read more

I'm from Florida? I was really looking forward to Having some Alaska crab I was Told it was wonderful However I gave this a one star because 0.000 ECT..... was not available We got two crab claws Two Cokes and it cost $117.00 Dollars When we got our food It was like they took it out of the refrigerator and put it on the plate and the butter was cold as well. It was so bad (And I love crab) all I wanted to do was throw up. I complain to management, they asked me if I wanted more crab! WTF? did she just hear about how bad it was and that I wanted to throw up! Then she asked me if I wanted my money back, I told her no because I was not complaining to get a refund the food was really bad. Where are the heath inspectors? Do not waste your time here, eat on the cruise ship much better food. I have never been so disappointed in the food I received. NOT A FAN ... read more

Horrible service here. Waited 20 minutes at the bar to place a drink order. Bartender finally took the money after taking our order. We waited 15 more minutes, reminded the bartender we still had no drinks! Took 40 minutes to just get drinks at the bar! read more

Great place to grab a beer and hide from the rain! When you're done check out the starfish on the shoreline.

Tried the reindeer sausage chili. It was delicious. On a pricey side but totally understand.

We stopped for a drink and were very happy with the Crabby blood Mary and whale surf. A nearby table was eating crab, and it was plentiful.

We ordered the Snow crab cluster which is now $37.99, the Peel and Eat shrimps and the Smoked Salmon chowder. The shrimps are good size, fresh and tasty. Much better than Shrimp cocktail from the cruise. The chowder a bit too salty and small. Snow crab were ok except we were not given the cracker. How are we supposed to open the legs? We did get one after we asked for it. Not much service from the staff. read more

I would not waste my time going here again. The crabs were cold and tasted old like they had been sitting for a while. The worst experience was the bar tender. He was rude and use very foul language to 3 groups of the customers in the restaurant. Told everyone he would be glad when we all left. There were 10 of us. We had planned on ordering more food & drinks, but after the show he put on, we decided to go to another place on the island so we could enjoy ourselves. Sorry but I couldn't give the service any stars read more

Worst customer service on our entire cruise from Rachel and Preston at the bar. We repeatedly asked to place a drink order and/or even just get a water and were outright ignored. The couple beside us asked 4 times to get their check. They walked away after not getting it the fourth time. I don't blame them. I get being overwhelmed because it was busy but not the outright rudeness. Save yourself the wait and insult and go get the halibut and fries at the Cookhouse instead! read more

I would recommend this restaurant to anybody. The food was fantastic but more than that. The service was great. Sarah is an amazing employee. She's a supervisor or manager. Siri was so understanding she made us feel so welcome and loved, and I appreciate that so much the food was fresh. The people was nice the weather most people would say it was not cooperating but because of how they were it was so worth it cold rainy, but we had the best time and it was mostly due to all nice and how a tentative the employees were and I'm so grateful I will go back there anytime it's absolutely amazing. Fantastic.. and if Sarah look at this, I hope she see how satisfied we were and how amazing we think she is. Thank you again for everything. I'll never forget it. I'll never forget you thank you. Sarah will be back. read more
