She was angry with a customer on the phone when we arrived. Then she pretty look down on my friend and I - even before we utter a word (while she is on the phone). When we asked about the pricing, she just told us (again in angry tone) to come out with her with the cart. Then upon weighting the fishes we have, she was like "do you really want to pay that. much to ship when you are paying for 10lb?" I understand she is trying to be reasonable, but her tone make it sounds like our business is too little for her time. the shipment was fast and arrive just as expected - which save me from rating this a one star. I don't ever write reviews, but this attitude left me so bitter that I just need to tell the world that unless you have no choice - don't come here.

Well aware thursdays catch would need to be processed and ready for pickup sometime before noon friday. Always told, not going to be a problem. Come thurday, was told they could not process thursdays catch for friday and possibly couldnt have it done for a couple days. I didnt have a couple days which they knew it. When reminded I fly out friday and was already promised friday would not be a problem, they didnt care - said we cant do it. Ended up mixing the new filets in with the processed filets then vacuum pack them myself after getting back home. No matter if you ask ahead of time, they have no problem telling you one thing and doing another.

Shrink-wrapped meat: it's what's for dinner…read more During our recent trip to Alaska, I was dragged to Echo Lake Superior Meats by my husband's Alaskan aunt and uncle because it is the Home of The World Famous Jalapeno Cheese Spread and because we were in the throes of a meat emergency. Apparently, dinner (which was being cooked by the Alaskans) required something called "Reindeer Sticks," and as any Kenai-area native knows, for Reindeer Sticks you go to Echo Lake. Echo Lake is straight-forward and no-frills, which I imagine is exactly what one seeks in a superior meat shop (since I'm not allowed in the kitchen unless someone needs another martini, it would be a stretch to consider myself skilled in meat-seeking-missions). White floors, white walls, clean white cases full of (you guessed it) meats, smoked local fish, and spreads of all flavors and sizes. While we browsed the meat aisles, the friendly staff brought out some fresh cajun smoked salmon and asked if we'd like to try some. Yes! Delicious! That night, in addition to the meat sticks, the family devoured not one but two tubs of Jalapeno Cheese Spread, which is kind of disgusting in retrospect. Man, that stuff is addictive! (It would be perfect for pre-Thanksgiving meal snacking around the fireplace or TV set, depending on how your family rolls). The reindeer sticks were, of course, delectable, with nary a leftover in sight. While at first glance the meats seem a bit pricey compared to the crap they serve us down here on the mainland, this place offers truly top-notch foodstuffs. I am eager to test out their online ordering system for specialty sausages, gourmet deli treats, smoked alaskan fish, gift boxes, and fresh seafood. Since they ship FedEx overnight, we're already planning on sending one of their Gift Boxes to that certain family member who has everything...and then inviting ourselves over for dinner. http://www.echolakemeats.com/Smoked_Alaska_Fish.htm

We had the clam chowder, the sandwich of the day, and I purchased several breakfast cookies to bring back to Texas. The clam chowder was exceptional, it was so fresh and full of seafood. The pesto sandwich was delicious, and the leftovers were even better. The breakfast cookies are also sold at a local coffee shop, I had one every morning with my tea. Yeah, they're that delicious and they're vegan! If you live or are visiting that area, this is one you want to add to your list. Make sure you check out their hours, this is something you'll want to do during the daytime hours.

By the reviews, I'm not the only customer that has received poor customer service. There's definitely room for improvement here and it starts with the owner and trickles down to the staff. When a business thinks they can't do any better because they're perfect and uses excuses instead of accountability for their lack of service, they're in trouble. This is my first experience with the new owner so maybe she needs to be reminded that the customer is always right.

So, my neighbour has been nagging me for some time now to call in to "that place with the railcars"…read morejust outside of Soldotna, but I'd not yet been. Though she hadn't mentioned there was a restaurant, she raved about the coffee shop and waffles. So my friend and I were coming to Soldotna last weekend, and me, as usual, am frantically searching Yelp for something with 4/5 stars. Addie Camp came up as a contender, with a solid 4.7 stars, but I hadn't realised it was where the railroad cars are. So we decided to give it a go. What a beautiful area it is, once you get up into the parking lot! It's very neat and tidy, and all the little railroad cars surround the central parking lot. And there's really massive solar panels to the rear. I liked that. There was not a scrap of trash anywhere. Very inviting. So we head into Addie Camp, and I'm wowed. It's beautiful inside, cosy and welcoming, yet very modern. The staff are lovely. The hostess asked if we had a reservation, but as we didn't she invited us to sit at the bar. No problem! They have tables upstairs, and in a railroad car to the side. It's absolutely beautiful, and features a lot of warm wood, but not old wood, very light modern wood. I tell you, I'm in love with this place. Anyway so we sit at the bar, where Sam was mixing cocktails. Sam is very pleasing on the eye, I might add. He was using Fevertree Tonic in one of the cocktails, and I told him that Fevertree's Elderflower Tonic is one of my fave drinks ever, and he said he loved it too. Anyway, so upon perusing the menu - it's not a huge menu, but there are plenty of things I'll eat - I ordered the Gold Star Elk Burger with rosemary fries, and my friend got Gambas Al Ajillo (Spanish style wild Patagonia Shrimp in a spicy olive and herb citrus sauce served with fancy bread) and we both opted for a Train Track Tonic Mocktail, mainly because Sam the bartender told me he had elderflower syrup, and it was featured in one of the mocktails, so I was sold. The napkins are fabric, and the silverware is fancy, heavy, not your usual restaurant fare. I was quite impressed with how quickly we were served, because it was quite busy. The food itself was outstanding. The bacon jam in this burger is EPIC and it's not your usual tiny bacon crumbles, it had chunky bits of bacon, and was sweetly gooey, but savoury too, absolutely the best bacon jam I've had, and it just gave the already amazing burger a boost it didn't even really need. There's no way to eat this burger in a dainty ladylike fashion, it's a beast, and the bacon jam is messy, but I went with it, and Sam got us some extra napkins. About 3/4 of the way through, I had to go knife and fork on the burger. I wasn't leaving any of that thing. The fries were good, the burger good, the mocktail good, excellent service, very attentive. This is unquestionably THE best restaurant on the Kenai Peninsula, and I can't wait to come back with my husband, next time we're down there. And, I did see regulars come in and be treated like they were old friends. After my experience there, I can see why people would keep coming back, it's THAT good!

The lobster is barely present and what is served isn't worth ordering. The pasta needed a good 3-4 more minutes cooking but the scallops super were amazing! We also ordered 1/2 doz of the oyster and they were fantastic. Old fashioned are worthy! Overall The food is not worth the price. Everything is under seasoned. The menu is weird.. Hummus is random ! The Salad is fresh but bland. Beet shavings had maybe 3 super thin pieces the size of a 5" long spaghetti and also needed salt/pepper . The curry was so so. I'm not even sure if this fish was halibut..unfortunately first and last for us.

After successful trips to…read moreboth Homer and the Nushagak River, my father and I took our halibut and king salmon to Snug Harbor for processing, storage, and shipment. The folks there stayed open until 8 pm which was extremely important given that our float plane didn't land until after 7:00 pm. The facility is very nice and clean. We requested they hold our fish for seven days before shipping them as we still were going to be in-state and not at home right away. They did that for us at no charge. Just received all three of our shipments as agreed upon. Our fish that we handed to them were the same ones we got back. Tracking info was sent via email as arranged and they even through in some suggested fish storage / cooking methods for us. Top notch customer interaction and I will definitely use them for future trips.
