I was doing work in Alaska with a bunch of guys and we came here to Firebrand BBQ for lunch while enjoying a fun day in Seward. I love how chill this place is. You can smell the BBQ as you walk up. The seating is picnic tables in an outdoor setting. It makes you feel like you are eating a BBQ meal in someone's backyard. You just walk up to the order counter and pick up your food when it is ready and grab a seat. A couple from Texas started Firebrand BBQ when they moved to Seward. It was nice to find some Texas-style BBQ in this little town. The menu has a number of smoke meats like brisket, pulled pork, sausage, turkey and pork belly. Sides are the usual sides that go with BBQ like potato salad and cole slaw. I got the Sandwich Combo with Brisket and Cole Slaw for lunch. I loved my meal and enjoyed my time here with my buddies. Firebrand BBQ has some specialty items like Frito Pie and Loaded BBQ Potato on thier menu. They also serve breakfast before 11am. You can pick up a bottle of their BBQ sauce at the order counter.

做完邮轮去住宿地放了东西就出去溜达了 直奔这家户外性价比王BBQ 就是冲着烤帝王蟹半只只要30刀 比Fred Mayer方便多了 顺便还点了一份猪肋骨plates 把他们家所有小菜都打卡一遍 帝王蟹不算个头大的但是刚刚好我们两个吃 肉质非常饱满 自带咸味 甚至有点过咸想要找口醋吃 或者像以前在挪威吃柠檬黄油酱应该也不错 pork rib就比较普通了 虽然没有很老 桌上放的酱汁儿很好吃 但是和黄石小镇那片做的BBQ就差真的不少 尤其是cole slaw哈哈哈 不过总体在清冷的晚上快速吃上一份便宜的bbq真棒呀

Brisket plate ($26)

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.

Smoked crab and pork belly sandwich

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!

BBQ plate and beer

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.

Brisket sandwich Potato salad Sweet tea

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!

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.

3 breakfast tacos! ( meat, eggs, cheese) Excellent!

The brisket was good, but the bbq sauce was weak. The side of pinto beans were undercooked. Nothing to write home about.

We had it in our must do list to go to this crepery. Small…read moreplace with limited seating and parking up front. You can see the crepes being made. Andre, the owner and server came by to introduce himself and give us the menu. My youngest ordered the strawberry & chocolate, which came out the fastest and was consumed as fast. My son and I split the Scandinavian and Du jour. Du jour was our favorite in how flavorful and light it was. My husband went with the Philly cheeseteak and raved about it. To be fair all the crepes are so light and feathery with the perfect ratio of the filling you ordered. There is no bad choice here. We were still craving for more so ordered Tropiques to share...it was fine, but du jour has to be our favorite of the lot. The crepes all came out at different times but nothing unreasonable at all. Andre was also a great host to every customer that walked in. Newspaper prints of the restaurants story is on the tables, if one would like to read. One of the best places in Seward!

What an absolute gem. I don't think my review will do them justice…read more A cute little creperie owned and run by the original owners. Right inside the door, you'll find a full crepe station ready to prepare your breakfast. We came for an early breakfast twice on our visit, and the owner was prepped and ready to go! They have a full page of crepe options, both savory and dessert. So we ended up trying 1 of each between our visits. Their Crepe Compote Maison was light and flavorful while their Crepe Boeuf Passion had a bit more punch with the creamy beef. Both were equally delicious, just depends on what you're more in the mood for. They also have an impressive hot tea selection served steeped in a teapot. Tried a different one each of the days - both great starts to the morning. Such a cozy, homey feel inside. Our table had different news articles and information about the creperie, and it was a fun way to learn more about the restaurant. Plus, our waitress was so kind. Wonderful experience. We were only in Seward 3 days, but I would have gladly continued to eat here for breakfast each day of our full trip to Alaska to try both their crepes and their teas. Highly recommend.

We sat as a group of seven people with the plan to have one check with three people and then four individual checks. This is a bullet pointed list of the issues we had. * We had some miscommunication on the splitting of the checks, which is okay, but I believe she should have double checked, especially because we repeatedly made it clear that the rest of us were singles. This became an issue because she told us at the end that they can only split the check two ways. * All of the food was okay, except my friend's (K) burger being pink inside and the chowder leaving a bad taste in my other friend's (B) mouth afterward. * K ordered a plain burger with cheese and received a burger with everything on it, including mayo which she cannot stand. She mentioned this to our waitress who then said "can you just take the lettuce and stuff off?" We said no and got a new burger, because that was not what K ordered. * My Greek salad was also an issue. I have a nut allergy so I checked with her about the ingredients of the Greek Vinaigrette that they bring with it. She said it had an onion base but didn't know the rest so she asked the kitchen, who she says wouldn't give her an answer on ingredients. * She offered me ranch but I told her I don't like ranch so I'll just go without any dressing, I didn't mind that much. She then offered ranch yet again, which was weird, and also a no from me. * She ended up getting me some olive oil and vinegar, which was perfect. The olive oil did not taste like olive oil though so I double checked that and she said it was, it just tasted more like vegetable oil to me and B. * I overheard her talking to a table behind me (what looked to be a child and their grandma) about them not being able to find the bathroom. She said, "oh you couldn't find it? It's like right there. On your left." She was very rude about it which was surprising to me. I felt that the attitude was unwarranted. * We had the discussion about splitting checks and then waited a while to pay. We also noticed that the checks were split incorrectly even though she had probably quadruple checked who the 3 person group was herself. * It took a while so we just went to the front desk area, where after waiting for a long time we were directed to another desk area. The lady that was standing there, she was blonde and a bit older than our waitress (presumably the manager) then left and made herself busy despite staying there the whole time before,so we had to wait even longer. * J, who had the og 3 person group, went to pay with tap, which our waitress was aware of beforehand. She then informs us that tap doesn't work for checks over $100, and his was $184. B paid her check with her Cashapp card and tried to pay J's too because he couldn't. It took the money out of her Cashapp account but didn't go through. We went back to the first desk, and tried again. K was even getting ready to transfer money in case B's didn't work either. Then, she tells us that apparently she can split the payment into two that are under $100... which would have been wonderful to know before we were running around trying to figure out how to pay our bill. Also, would have been a convenient way to keep it as two checks but still split up payments between the singles. * I also overheard our waitress speaking rudely to her coworker (a girl with black hair and a ponytail who was working hostess) who had asked her a question. She said, "Just press it, it's the same," in, again, a rude tone. * B overheard the manager (? The blonde lady) being rude to our waitress. We would have been more understanding if it was an end of shift slump, but when we sat and asked if the chowder was available she said she had to check because she had just gotten there. We were all very disappointed with this service, especially considering the prices, and will not be going back.
