    BBQ plate and beer
    Gretchen P.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    I forgot to take a picture of my Pork Belly sandwich but it was as awesome. Prices are reasonable but the food was outstanding! Planning a return visit.

    Late lunch after driving in from Anchorage. Ordered Loaded BBQ Potato with Brisket. Very good pickles on top. My only gripe was the bathroom is a port a potty. Food and service was great.

We took a walk to the waterfront for 15-20 mins and could have easily gotten a drink somewhere or done some window shopping. Everything was really good - starting with salmon gougere amuse bouche, the soup of the day (curry carrot?), and local oysters to the smoked scallop cocktail. The fried chicken, salmon, and shrimp and grits. We ended up ordering the cream cheese ice cream which ended up taking FOREVER since they forgot about it and never checked on us. Unfortunately the cream cheese ice cream was also kinda disappointing and was just like scooped frozen cheesecake - which don't get me wrong is delish but not worth the wait or $.

The hostesses were warm and friendly. There is good reason why it's popular. The food that comes out of the kitchen is elevated, creative and tasty---worthy of more sophisticated large urban cities. Service was casual, but proficient. We had oysters, which were tiny but full of tastes of the ocean. There was an amuse bouche of a choux filled with salmon cream. It was light and a good start to the meal. The shrimp with grits was artfully presented and tasted good. The cream of mushroom soup was rich and earthy. Fried chicken was a nice take on a simple dish. And the salmon dish was a clear proof of Alaska's rich waters. Loved this special place.

My son ordered the chicken and waffles- he said the waffles were good but the chicken, tho well fried was completely lacking seasoning My partner ordered the buttermilk fried chicken entree with mashed potatoes and he had the same sentiment- no seasoning and also added that it was a boneless chicken thigh, and the texture was also off putting. I ordered the Alfredo pasta with a bay shrimp add on and the clam chowder- both were okay, my main complaints being that my food was lukewarm while the chicken that my son and partner ordered were steaming hot- the chowder was very well seasoned and flavorful- but also very thick and I got a clam that was gritty. Not a terrible place to eat, their hospitality was great... but also idk if I would go back if given the choice. Based on past reviews, we prob should have ordered burgers.

Today I remembered to do all the things including take pictures of my food. I walked in and was seated immediately, I chose to sit at the bar because it's just easier and the chairs all have better cushion. After seeing another patron eating a burger i decided to order one too! Great choice. I had the jalapeño burger with bacon jam and man was it delicious. The burger was a perfect medium well, the brioche bun was perfectly toasted, the white cheddar cheese was the perfect complement to the slightly sweet bacon jam, the bacon was crispy, Smokey and not greasy. The only complaint was the slice of tomato that is out of season and tasteless. I mean it is Alaska after all. My seafood chowder which I paid an additional $4.00 for a cup was okay but whatever, the burger made up for it. All in all it was a great experience and delicious meal. Because it was the middle of the afternoon on a weekday, the place wasn't as packed and noisy as it can be sometimes. The ambiance was super relaxed today so I sat and ate inside. If you are ever in Seward, check this place out.

Their Crepe Compote Maison was light and flavorful while their Crepe Boeuf Passion had a bit more punch with the creamy beef.
