    One meat plate.  I was done at this point and didn't want to eat anymore.

    Over all the food was so so.. I got a Pork Rib plate. 4 ribs were served. Two of the Ribs were refrigerator cold at the bone (100% unacceptable) The beans quite literally had no flavor and tasted dry. I'm not sure how as there was juice there... But! The potato salad should have a total make over. The cold slaw was dry, no moisture to it at all. Their BBQ sauce is so runny nothing sticks to the meat, it was like I put nothing on it. This is also the only BBQ sauce that tastes like a very watered down "Buffalo wing sauce." I gave up on my last rib and didn't eat it. The owner was friendly and greets people right away as they walk in. Very friendly. The worst part of all... As an outdoor seating area, then the wind swirled around and would carry the odors from the dumpster in back to the tables . I over heard another couple say they had to leave due to that smell. The smell wasn't more than 10 seconds at a time... But still I guess something that will happen with an outside seating resturant and a nearby dumpster.

    Loaded plates filled with a good variety of sides and your choice of meat. We loved the creamy potato salad and the vinegary coleslaw. The beans were bland. Our meat of choice was the brisket, which came shredded. Parts were hard and dry and we doused it with their BBQ sauce which is very watery. Tried a bit of my SIL's pork belly which was hard and dry too. We weren't asked if we wanted onions, jalapeños and pickles, and I didn't realize it until we were almost done. They might have balanced out the meat. Oh well. Wanted to order the crab legs, but they just ran out. Cashier said we could check back later since they were de-thawing more. Outdoor seating only.

    Legit BBQ but the best part was the smoked Alaskan king crab. Not only the best value for a cluster these are smoked. No butter required! Pork belly sandwich was excellent. Healthy thick slices perfectly smoked and not fatty! Just enough to be belly!

    We LOVED this spot! We stopped by on a trip down the coast and all got bbq plates since all the sides sounded good. A lot of food you can't help but finish. Brisket was amazing, coleslaw was on the herby/vinegar side while still being mild, toast warm and buttered, and good potato salad. I added a blueberry Hefeweizen which was delicious. Lovely outdoor seating ambiance at wooden picnic tables. If we weren't so full from dinner the night before, we would have come back to try their breakfast burritos! Friendly sweet staff as well.

    So good! Spending the summer working in Alaska from Texas and this bbq made me so happy. Sweet tea hit the spot! Went back a second time and also got the beans as an additional side and they were super good too!

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I finally got a chance to go. The ordering process was super easy, and the wait staff was really friendly and helpful. Everything seemed to be set up for a great experience. The seating area is outside, under a building cover, so dress appropriately for weather. The tables and chairs were nice, though. The only downside was the food. It was really bland and didn't have much flavor or taste. I even tried the BBQ sauce that they had on the table, but it tasted just as bland and watery. I ended up drowning it in hot sauce halfway through to at least have some flavor. I was honestly surprised, considering all the positive reviews I had read.

    3 breakfast tacos! ( meat, eggs, cheese) Excellent!
    Rebecca P.

    Breakfast Tacos! Very unique and yummy. We choose beef brisket as our meat, shared 3 tacos. Tacos are flour based but it reminds me of a birria style taco due to so much yummy cooked cheese everywhere. Great job! Definitely will come back for lunch or dinner. Update- we came back for lunch but didn't care for this style of pork bbq . My wrap was okay but it seemed to lack the advertised sour cream.

    Yummy ribs, very tender

    Outstanding meal!! Bbq sandwich was delicious as was the brisket plate! Not usually a fan of vinegar based bbq, however this was fantastic ! Cute place recommended by our Airbnb host.

    This was our first stop in Seward for lunch. We got there right as lunch time started at 11, and even though there was a line of people to order, food was ready fast! Had great sweet tea which made this Southerner happy! Would definitely stop here again, you will definitely not leave hungry!

    Brisket plate

    I asked the waitress and she told me that they were best known for the pork belly and the brisket. We got the brisket (4/5 stars) and the plate included sides (coleslaw, baked beans, toast, potato salad - most were 3/5 stars). But the king crab (5/5 stars blow your mind delicious) was amazing - I've only ever had Dungeness crab before and wow I get the type about King Crab! As it is summer, the crab came from warmer water and was tender due to that and how fresh the crab was. I think we might go back for more crab!

    Great food! We enjoyed our sandwiches and crab legs. We liked the casual outdoor sitting and they turned on the heaters.

    We were excited to try this place. It's located inside of a brewery who handles all the beverage…read moresales. Blue Yeti makes/sells the food - but inside same location. Everything is setup well and is situated in a great location! Unfortunately, service was awful! We ordered quickly and paid our tab up front ($60 for two chicken sandwiches and a basket of fries - including voluntary 18% tip, but not full-service dining). They gave us a pager and we found seats. Over the next 30 minutes we saw everyone getting food but us. I finally asked the status (politely) and got a seemingly annoyed response. I was told our order was next in line. I waited another 10 minutes and saw 3 more people served (who ordered way after us). I returned to check again and got a deep sigh and rolling eyes (mind you, it's been over 40 minutes at this point). They checked with their cook and he hadn't even started it. We were headed to airport and needed to get going, so when I pressed for an ETA he grumbled it'd be 5 minutes at most. It took 11 more minutes, which put our total wait at 51 minutes from time of order. We were never offered a discount, refund, or even an apology - VERY disappointing!!! The food was okay - but not worth that wait or frustration. We definitely won't be returning.

    Best burger I think I've ever had. That nacho cheese? Game changer. Would give 5 stars, however,…read morefries don't come with, and they give you a very small amount of fry sauce (compared to the amount of fries that come in the basket as a side order). It's $1.50 for an additional mini cup of sauce. Again though, phenomenal burger. Will definitely go back.

The single story buildings are very…read morewell spaced with good sized buffers of trees separating them, giving a sense of isolation that you don't actually have. Well done. Further there are a couple of easy, scenic walks on the property. A 1 mile fairly flat nature trail through a wooded area and a 1-2 mile walk to and along the river, also fairly flat (albeit there is a hill with a phone at the bottom, Princess will send a shuttle to retrieve you). We used it as a base for walking the Russian River and Russian Lakes trail (to the first lake), both highly recommended. With more time we would have headed to Juneau Falls...there are a ton of hikes in the area, all which sound tremendous. Could also be used as a base for Seward and exploring the Exit Glacier/Harding Icefield hikes. Have fun! Oh. The rooms. Kinda rustic but clean and spacious, a wood burning stove and TV (used neither), balcony, and very importantly a laundry. Which we made good use of. Check in. We arrived at ~1:30 and lying in wait was a sugary sweet desk clerk who *very* sweetly and in no uncertain terms told us that check in was 3PM. The only thing missing was a "Bless your Heart". No wi-fi in the rooms, it is available in the lodge where there is a balcony tailor made for sipping wine and enjoying the river views.
