    Steak burrito
    Paulina R.

    Best Mexican with outdoor seating hands down. Super friendly staff and 2 outdoor spots that are dog friendly. All they are really missing is margaritas. Yummy burritos, tacos and quesdilla, love their chips and salsa too.

    Carne Asada Tacos
    Joanna R.

    Apparently this is a new place. The woman running the restaurant was very friendly and the dining area is clean and attractive. I ordered the Carne Asada Tacos. I was a bit hesitant to have Mexican food in Alaska, but it was pretty good. The tortillas were tasty and the meat was good. The salsas for the taco and the chips were both very good - and I'm hoping homemade? I thought $10 was a bit overpriced for 3 little street tacos, but I'd go back. They have a big menu and a variety of items.

    The food and portions are great. Most consistently good restaurant in Juneau. Get there early, seating is limited.

    Authentic Mexican food, family run and great atmosphere. Location is not the best so you know the business is coming from the food.

    The halibut tacos were pretty good. I don't think anyone was unhappy with their meal, but there wasn't any resounding praise, either.

    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!

    The Wild Alaskan - Fish is very fresh.  Slightly overcooked and a little doughy inside, but still a solid bet.  Very good overall.

    A group of us stopped into Red Dog Saloon during our cruise lay-over…read more Credit cards are accepted. A full bar and kitchen are available. Red Dog Saloon is small and packed so we had to wait to enter towards the later hours due to our party size of 7. We didn't eat during our stay but we did have a couple drinks. It was fun to look at all the business cards, patches, hats etc. covering every inch of the walls and ceiling. Floors of sawdust assist with the old-time gold rush days feel. Unfortunately, we only had about 45 minutes to experience Red Dog Saloon before heading back to our ship. Staff was friendly and energetic.

I had heard a lot about the…read moreplace and expected a fun atmosphere with decent service, but my experience ended up being frustrating from start to finish. The restaurant was crowded and loud, which I understand can happen in a popular tourist spot, but the staff seemed completely overwhelmed and uninterested in helping customers. What bothered me most was the service from our waitress, Summer. In my experience, she came across as disrespectful and dismissive the entire time we were there. Simple questions about the menu felt like an inconvenience to her, and the attitude we received made the whole meal uncomfortable. We were rushed while ordering, had long waits for drinks and food, and when we tried to politely ask about the delay, the response felt rude instead of helpful. The food itself was average at best and definitely not worth the prices. Some items arrived lukewarm, and parts of our order were incorrect. By the time everything was fixed, the rest of the table had already finished eating. The atmosphere may appeal to tourists looking for the "old saloon" vibe, but customer service should still matter no matter how busy a place is. Overall, this was one of the least enjoyable dining experiences I've had in Alaska. Between the poor service, long waits, and disrespectful attitude we experienced from Summer, I wouldn't choose to come back or recommend it to others. I hope management takes customer concerns more seriously in the future because the location and concept have a lot of potential.
