Such a good breakfast burrito! a great spot to sit and grab a quick bite between adventures - great ambiance

The best pulled pork sandwich I have ever had to date and the owner and head chef has been there for 7 years if you are in Alaska and your are planning on visiting Seward you must come to this place I ordered the sandwich combo it comes with two sides The service was amazing and very humble The ambiance was so rugged I loved the decorations I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars I wish I could give it a 10 star rating Trust me you won't be disappointed read more

Firebrand BBQ - Myself my sd and the head chef - Barbeque Near Me - Seward, Alaska

Stopped for a breakfast burrito. There wasn't much meat in it and frankly, quite bland. Expected more for the price. It was busy both afternoons we drove past, so maybe it's worth checking out for lunch/dinner. I'd say pass on breakfast. read more

Pretty amazing stuff at a reasonable price (Alaska prices that is), service was fast, and the place is pretty unique. All outdoor seating might be an issue but since we had the RV, no problems. When the parking lot is full at 2pm you just know it's going to be great, and it was. Room to park a 24 foot + RV made it five stars. Brisket was great, backed potatoes were perfect and I even love the beans (spicy but not crazy). Parking lot could use a truckload of gravel to level it out but hey, it's Alaska. Going back. read more

For Seward, this was good BBQ! For someone who's been to Texas?- obviously I've had better lol. Let me start off by saying that I personally only ordered the loaded bbq potato with ribs and that's all I can speak about. The baked potato could've used more butter and sour cream, and cheese! It's a large potato but it needed to be more loaded! I chose the ribs as my meat and it came with 4 ribs!! They were so good. Needed more seasoning BUT they were so soft. The didn't fall off the bone but they sure did once you took a bite! Highly recommend the ribs! They only offered outside seating which were first come first serve. I also recommend the bbq sauce because my family literally couldn't stop talking about it! WARNING: WHOLE BUNCH OF MOSQUITOS read more

Food was great and ambiance was pretty cool. Service: Order at the counter pick up your drink from the cooler and pick up your own food from a service window. I asked for onions and jalapeños on the side. The grumpy bastard at the cash register said " we don't put anything on the side, we put it on the sandwich or we don't" ! All in all it was great food! read more

Wow what an amazing spot for some great BBQ and crab. The brisket and burnt ends are so tender and delicious!!! The crab was even better hot off the grill and they melted in my mouth...so tasty!!! All the employees were super happy and friendly. They also spoke highly of the owner stating how they loved working there and the environment he creates for them. I will definitely be back and recommend everyone to try it as well. read more

I've never had crab this fresh before! The crab clusters were plentiful and packed with flavor--absolutely incredible. The toast, slaw, and beans complemented the dish perfectly. Don't forget to add some hot sauce to the BBQ for an extra kick! read more

Ate here in July with my family. The food was ok, not a lot of flavor and their brand of bbq sauce is very thin, like water. Ribs were very tough. It's in a parking lot with picnic tables. It filled us up for lunch but that's about it. read more

Nice outside eating area. We had 4 brisket sandwiches. Brisket was excellent. Beans were undercooked and hard. Even if they were soft they didn't have much flavor. BBQ sauce was watery and not much flavor but meat didn't need any extra flavoring. Not much interaction with staff. Patrons walk up, order and pick up at the next window. read more

Firebrand BBQ - Eating area - Barbeque Near Me - Seward, Alaska

We found ourselves walking around Seward until it was time for us to catch the train to Anchorage and wanted something different for lunch. Well Firebrand BBQ DID NOT disappoint at all. We were greeted as soon as we walked up and told to pick a seat and come up to the counter to order when we were ready. There was plenty of seating available and we loved looking at all the flowers and decorations. We decided on the loaded BBQ potato, Frito pie and an Alaskan crab cluster. We choice the brisket for the meat on the potato and pulled pork for the pie. Outstanding flavor! The cream of the crop was the cluster, it was cooked perfectly with a smoky flavor we've never experienced before and absolutely loved every bite. read more

This place was amazing! From the food to the atmosphere and friendly staff 5 stars. Our table got two orders of the loaded baked potato and a Frito pie and everyone was impressed. The food came super quick, and the portion was huge! They do not skimp on toppings! When placing the order the server noticed we had my 2 year old with and offered to have a grilled cheese made for him even though it wasn't on the menu. This made for a very happy toddler, thank you! I wasn't sure I wanted to go here at first because I saw outdoor seating and it was raining outside. But the heaters above kept us nice and toasty. We will definitely return and be recommending this place. read more

A couple months ago, I *finally* made it to Seward after literally two years of waiting for covid to be over enough for our cruise (originally scheduled for 2020) to take place. Funny enough, I'd heard such good things about Firebrand, specifically their breakfast burrito, that I specifically planned our day trips for the couple days we were in Seward after our cruise, so that we'd have time to get a breakfast burrito... sadly, through no fault of theirs (sounds like something broke down that morning and needed emergency replacement), I didn't get to try the breakfast burrito (I wish Seward were much closer to California, there's a *surprising* amount of good food for such a small town!), but on the other hand, I'd *also* heard such good things that I'd decided the day before that we were going to go there for their dinner menu and then the following morning for brunch! I'd love to take another cruise that connects in Seward and be able to try the breakfast burrito, but I'm very glad we made it once, at least, because it is all *very* good. At least the day we were there (a couple months ago, so early season for cruises), we got there a little after 7 PM and they still had everything, so that was a nice surprise! We also met the owner - you can tell he's the owner, he's the guy who looks *exactly* like you picture a bbq pitmaster from Texas would look like, haha. Great guy, and you can tell he knows his bbq! Originally we each ordered a burrito - $13 for a good burrito with fresh bbq'd brisket is pretty darn reasonable even for LA, let alone for Seward! Came out basically immediately, too! I can confirm: their brisket is great, their burritos are great, and mine was especially good, cause I added jalapenos to it (why we each got a burrito - my wife wouldn't have approved of the added peppers :p). They don't look huge, but looks can be deceiving - it's stuffed full of meat. Can strongly recommend their burritos. Is it literally the best bbq on the planet? No, that's still Franklin, obviously. But that's a... pretty high bar. It's darn good bbq. (Plus, Franklin doesn't sell burritos!) They also have great drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. You can tell their sweet tea is brewed fresh - it's not *incredibly* sweet, but it is tasty! Their cups aren't huge, but it's also $2 a cup, so that's fine! They also have some great local craft beers for pretty good prices - my wife got a solid local beer for $5. Also, conveniently since it ended up being our *only* meal here, we actually ended also getting a sandwich - I wasn't even particularly hungry after the wrap, but I figured in the morning it'd be a different menu (darn it!), so it was our only shot at trying their sandwich, so we split a pulled pork sandwich as well. It also came out pretty quickly. I can also confirm: the pulled pork is great too, and great in a sandwich (though I personally liked the burrito more, just more going on, plus it's bigger!) I also personally quite liked the coleslaw! My wife isn't a fan of coleslaw, either, so I just got a side of it (also only $2, a great price!) I was happy it was fresh-tasting and not mayo-y, personally! Full of great, fresh, crunchy, vinegary vegetables! I'd put that coleslaw on anything! (Again, sadly, I was especially looking forward to eating it with the breakfast burrito again the next morning, wish I'd been in Seward a little longer! Why can't we just always be on vacation? Haha.) read more

Firebrand BBQ - Wagyu ribs and pork belly on a baked potato - Barbeque Near Me - Seward, Alaska

This place is amazing!!! We got wagyu ribs that fall off the bone, best crab legs I've had in a long time, huge loaded potato(and it's truly loaded) and brisket sandwich. Everything was so flavorful and cooked to perfection! I would also recommend getting their sweet tea. They have a nice seating area outside that is filled with best smells coming from the grill. Service was great and quick! We are here for a few days and will for sure have to try out their breakfast! read more

Firebrand BBQ - Baker potato with brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Seward, Alaska

Firebrand BBQ has to be the very best BBQ in the state. Chad hails from that small state of Texas as a retired fire fighter and has brought us BBQ that's worthy of our massive state. We live in Anchorage and plan our trips to Seward JUST FOR BBQ!! The brisket it amazing, the ribs are amazing, the pork belly is mouth watering!! He makes his own sauce (which we keep begging him to bottle and sell) and his sides. The potato salad is the best I've ever had and the coleslaw is a vinegar base and my husband raves about it. He also has beans that he makes (we often swap them out but always hear folks rave about them). The plates come with all 3 sides. My biggest tip is to call and order your food in advance!! Because it is all BBQ - once what they've cooked has run out - they are closed for the day. So if you call and preorder they can ensure they have it for you. Oh! And their breakfast options are amazing too!! We pick up extra burritos to help last thru a few extra days. They are closed for the winter and usually open around the middle of May thru Labor Day. We're counting the days until we can head down and see Chad. They offer only outside dining, some is under the beautiful pavilion. read more

Firebrand BBQ - 2 meat plate with ribs and pork belly, double potato salad (instead of beans) and coleslaw. - Barbeque Near Me - Seward, Alaska

We ordered food for me and my husband and sodas drinks for us and all our kids (3). But since there was no kids menu, and picky eaters, we made PB sandwiches for the kids. Thinking it wasn't a big deal with the outdoor picnic table seating and the fact that we did order food and drinks. Plus, this is like a food truck casual style location. We got kicked out for doing that! He told us he was not ok with what we were doing and that we needed to leave and give up our table. I couldn't believe how we were treated for being paying customers. What if my kid had an allergy to their food? I don't agree with how we were treated. And they weren't kind about it either. Humiliating us in front of others. Beware families with young kids. Never again! And my friends will not come back either. read more

Great place! The food was simply delicious and plenty of it. It's a small place, a bit expensive but very much wort it. I would eat here again! Recommended!!! read more

$17 for a claw of crab?? Nowhere can beat that price. I was skeptical about food options in Seward and wanted to give this place a try. Their food is exceptional and the price is very reasonable for the amount. Staffs were so nice and patient to give us the best recommendations. They had outdoor seatings. I'm not sure if they still open in the winter time read more

I had the frito pie with brisket and the wagyu ribs. Loved it. The ribs were the bomb. Went back a 2nd day and had the loaded baked potato with brisket. Tried to get the wagyu ribs again but they are not done until 3:30pmish. Got pork ribs instead, good but not wagyu.... read more

Fast service, decent food and friendly staff at this " Texas" Barbecue. There is only outside seating so be prepared that even on a sunny day with the wind coming off the water it is very chilly. There's only one table in the sun a great addition to this place would be heat lamps. read more

Drove by this place all week wanting to stop but was leery about BBQ this far north. Wow. Awesome food and ice cold Shiner with Texas Red Dirt playing in background. Had their chopped brisket sandwich and beans for lunch. Some of the best brisket I've had in a while. Came back for dinner and had the pork ribs plate. Fall off the bone and tender. It came with all sides, which were delicious. Definitely a must have when in Seward May-September. They are also reasonably priced for Alaska. A friend of mine had the smoked crab clusters and they were amazing. Stopped on my way out for breakfast and had the brisket breakfast burrito. It's all good with fast, friendly service. read more

Maybe it just wasn't our style of BBQ but the beans and meat were pretty bland. It was an expensive meal for little flavor.

Amazing Texas BBQ in the little quaint town of Seward, AK. A nice covered patio with heaters makes it warm and toasty while you enjoy your meal outside. The loaded potato with brisket was delicious and filling. Ribs were perfectly smoked. The employees were all very nice and helpful. Very fast service! read more

I stopped by here earlier tonight for dinner with my father. We had been passing Firebrand BBQ for a couple of days while in Seward as it right off of 3rd Ave. Since it is a food stand, there's not much to say about it other than it has a counter to order and then some picnic tables around for you to eat at. I think that I also may have spotted their smoker nearby but am not 100% for sure. For dinner on this evening I decided to get the plate dinner which consisted of one meat, cole slaw, potato salad and baked beans. Whenever I asked what meats were available I was told pork or beef, with the beef later getting changed to brisket. Since I love a good brisket, that is what I ordered. It was ready only a couple minutes later and was in a white styrofoam takeout container. I first tried all of the side dishes and while nothing was great, nothing was bad either. The potato salad had a decent taste to it while the cole slaw added some acidity. Last but certainly not least was the brisket which was really good. It was lightly mixed with BBQ sauce which allowed the meat to shine through. It was tender and juicy with a good smoked flavor to it. If I could change one thing about it, I wish that I could have been in control of the BBQ. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While it may be a little pricy for a plate dinner at $16, the brisket was really good and the sides were decent as well! read more

Having been to Austin, Texas and tasted some pretty fine bbq, my friends and I weren't sure what bbq we'd be finding in Seward, Alaska. We decided to try this place out since the reviews were good and there weren't many other options around. We thought about getting the Family deal but instead opted to share 2 plates of pork belly and brisket since the ribs were sold out. Though the ribs had been what we wanted, we were pleasantly surprised by the pork belly and brisket! Pork belly was tender yet crispy while brisket was flavorful but not salty. Came with generous sides of buttered toast, beans delicious potato salad and yummy coleslaw. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal!! I would say this is the best food spot we tried in Seward with good portions and a very reasonable price for bbq. You gotta try it! Tip: make sure to go earlier if you want the ribs since they sell out. :) read more

Always friendly service here. We love getting their breakfast burritos, their home made bbq sauce is the best I've ever had. I have also tried the brisket sandwich was so amazing.

This is an outdoor seating/food truck type place. I have always wanted to try and I wish I could give it a better review. It's middle of the road honestly. It's pricey but that's because it's Seward and a tourist heavy area. The food alone though just fell flat for me. The ribs were not fall off the bone but had decent flavor. The coleslaw was a vinegar based and not good at all. The potato salad was pretty bland with harder potatoes, not my fave. The frito pie was OK, I expected more flavor and it just didn't deliver. The garlic toast was flat, cheap, crappy bread..I say this a lot but it's not the worst I've had, it's just not fantastic. I would probably not go here again unless there was nothing else available. read more
