Most of the time when getting out from a cruise ship you don't expect the restaurants just off the pier to be particularly good, just convenient. If you walk past this restaurant you will miss the best seafood place we have tried in Sitka. Ask for Holly. A cheerful, friendly and helpful server who was just delightful to talk with. We tried the sour dough fritters that are served with honey butter. Served piping hot and delicious. Then we had the crab dip. Served with toasted crostini. Nice sized portion for sharing. Also steaming hot and very good. Imagine an artichoke dip but with crab instead. And then a sour dough bread bowl full of clam chowder that was excellent. Hot and creamy with a lot of clams. Wash it down with some good local beer and enjoy the day. The restaurants we have tried in town are good. This is even better. Don't walk past this place. read more

The food was delicious. My hubby had the salmon burger. I had the chowder in a sourdough bread bowl with the Caesar salad. As delicious as it was, it took forever to get our food out. The bartender went to check on our food and helped to speed it along. If you go, have the huckleberry margarita. It was so good! It was a bit chilly in there. They had cold air blowing at the doors! I thought that was odd. read more

Halibut Point Crab & Chowder - Huckleberry Marg - Seafood Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

We were on our cruise, spent the day in Sitka and decided to have some fish and chips here. Are three piece fish and chips. Alaskan cod was the best I've ever had came with the side of coleslaw. The pieces were large. I highly recommend giving this place a try. I want to say the plate was about $25 but well worth it. read more

Nice tourist place for crab, chowder, fish and chips, and beer! Service is a little slow hence the three stars! Someone else's order was never put in and they came before us! Major strike out! Outdoor or indoor seating. Ambiance is beautiful right near the shipping docks. King crab plates are one to two pounds, $74+ with corn fritters and coleslaw. Clam is too salty for my taste. read more

The food and service was amazing. It really made up for not liking a lot of the cruise ship food.

Chowder was good. Service Ok, not great. Clean space. Crab roll was a disappointment. Maybe 5% crab 95% fillers. read more

My husband and I dined here after our excursion on the cruise ship. My husband and I loved it. I was a bit concerned with trying a restaurant so close to the port thinking that it would be a tourist trap, but the food was really good and the portions were great. Holly was our server and she was so sweet. She did a great job serving us. She recommended the chowder and the bread bowl and I swear the bread bowl was the best bread I had ever had in a bread bowl combo before. They make all their bread here and you can tell the difference. It was so soft and tasty. The clam chowder was delicious too. It had a bit of a kick to it, but I do like that. I usually add tons of pepper to my chower anyway. But I did not have to add any salt or pepper to this chowder. Also, the clams were clean and not gritty at all. That's a plus for me when I eat clam chowder. Definitely don't overlook this restaurant if you are if do you have a court in Sitka, Alaska. read more

Delicious crab! It's right by the cruise port! Service is really good as well! I would recommend if your cruise port is in Sitka!

Pretty good for a restaurant right on a cruise dock. They have their own merchandise, and it's right when you walk in. Then you wait to be seated, and there's a big restaurant area. Also big windows so you can admire your ship and the sea. I was kept in beverages, which I appreciated. The corn bread was my favorite bite, but the crab also tasty. read more

Currently standing in a long line no one greeting or seating anyone. No communication.

We were docked with the cruise ship and weren't able to grab food while exploring Sitka due to the time crunch, but man were we glad to have been able to eat here! Service was great, our waiter was so sweet and I know they were busy and our food still came out faster than expected! Loved the outdoor seating vibe and not to mention ton out food was delicious! Some of the best chowder I had on the trip. Thank you , we look forward to returning. read more

Halibut Point Crab & Chowder - Clam chowder and Alaskan Cod fish & chips - Seafood Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

Definitely make time to stop at this restaurant. The crab boil was amazing! 3 different types of crab (alaskan king, snow, & dungeness), reindeer sausage, shrimp, potatoes, & corn on the cob all boiled to perfection. Also came with very tasty basket corn fritters. Enough for 2 to share. We also tried the chowder which was quite tasty. Service was quick, friendly, & attentive. I really enjoyed stopping here before returning to our cruise ship. There were lots of options on the menu for the whole family. read more

This is a crab-themed seafood restaurant situated right as you walk off the cruise ship. It seemed very new and clean. The server was attentive. I tried the Alaskan Brewing Company pilsner and it was awesomely crisp and refreshing. The clam chowder was good but really soared with the addition of Cholula hot sauce. Hubby got the crab roll which he said was good but not $30 good. We shared a basket of fries which were seasoned nicely. I would return for the beer and chowder alone, everything else was wildly expensive. read more

Halibut Point Crab & Chowder - Right off the Cruise Pier - look to the right. - Seafood Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

Due to weather we had cancelled our cruise ship shore excursion yet we wanted to at least get off the ship. HPCC is conveniently located right next to the ship's pier. We were quickly seated in a large spacious high ceilinged dining room with exposed wood beams and were warmly welcomed by our server, ADRIAN. He was very friendly (he even acknowledged my University of Miami cap!) and was very helpful describing the menu and offering crab meat extraction advice. He let me sample 2 beers before choosing a delicious locally brewed IPA. We had clam chowder in a bread bowl and 2 lbs of king crab at a market price of apx. $67.50/lb. The chowder was excellent and had just the right amount of spiceness and the crab was rich and fresh with plenty of drawn butter for dipping. With the crab came sourdough corn fritters with honey butter which were also excellent. An awesome 70's and 80's classic rock soundtrack at just the right volume was very enjoyable. The tab for food and drink before tip was $189 for two. Considering the delicious food, ambiance, quality of service and convenient ship pier location, I'd consider HPC&C a great value. I'd highly recommend dropping in if your cruise ship stops at the Port of Sitka! read more

Went in for the chowder and it ended up being the best clam chowder we've ever eaten! This is a "secret family recipe" and boy, it's great! Our server was very warm and friendly, and the views were spectacular! If you have the chance to visit when in port in Sitka, don't miss out! read more

Halibut Point Crab & Chowder was a great pit stop before getting back in the cruise ship. Service was super friendly and the food was pretty good. What's not to love about fresh king crab!!! Their sourdough corn fritters were delicious. The king crab here was fresh and good too. We had a nice table overlooking the pier which made it even nicer! They even had a neat souvenir shop with their logo on everything. Fun items to buy and take home. read more

Wow probably some of the best king crab legs I've ever had! Looked way more than 3lbs too. The crab wasn't salty which was nice and paired well with the butter. Every piece was just so delicious and pretty big too! My family was happy and satisfied with the king crab legs. Yeah it was pricy but it was well worth it. The corn fritters that came with it was pretty good but you need to eat it with the honey butter that it comes with. The staff was kind and welcoming. Whatever questions we had about the crab she was able to answer and she brought us out anything we needed and more. This place was right next to the cruise port which made it convenient if you don't go into the town. They also had live dungeness crab for people to see and they let us take pictures of us holding them too. read more

Halibut Point Crab & Chowder - 3lbs of king crab legs - Seafood Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

Need gluten free options. Fries appear to be gluten friendly. The chowder is a serious meal. One of the best I have had.

We had lunch here while visiting Sitka. Two of us shared the Alaska Boil and upgraded to add kind crab. It was decent but could've used more seasoning. We did not ask until we were almost finished, if they had Old Bay seasoning. They did! We would have enjoyed the crab and shrimp more had we seasoned them from the beginning. The boil had reindeer sausage, which actually was pretty good. Someone else with us had the clam chowder and a salad. The clam chowder was in a bread bowl! She said the clam chowder was very good. The service was excellent. Though it was August, temps were in the 50s and the restaurant was pretty chilly. We had to sit in the sun to stay somewhat warm. read more

Delicious king crab and clam chowder. When in Alaska, indulge all the things you can't get easily at home. Situated right by the cruise port in Sitka, this place serves up delicious king crab legs. The flavor is so clean and sweet. The chowder is one of the best I've ever had... it's just the right thickness yet full of flavor. read more

This place sucks so bad! The crab boil has no taste and the waitress that serve us just took our order and that's it! We ask for an extra bowl and spoon so we can share the chowder and it never came! The chowder tastes like burned soup! Don't come here!! Your money is wasted! read more

Had lunch here while visiting Sitka, Alaska (via a cruise). Nice, open (inside and out) eating area; friendly service. My husband ordered the fish (halibut) and chips; I ordered a salmon sandwich, though I didn't really want the bun, lol! My husband enjoyed his meal, as did I. The fish (halibut and salmon) was so fresh tasting! Also, there is a gift shop connected to the restaurant for souvenirs; somewhat of a one-stop shop. :o) read more

I was doing some research before our Alaskan trip and the Halibut Point Crab & achiever and it appeared this restaurant was highly recommended. So because if this, it was a must to come here. When we were finally able to get to Halibut Point Crab & Chowder (because it was kind of a hike from where we docked), I was super excited. We ordered the Alaskan Crab Combo & the clam chowder. My husband had some beer. Let's just say the food did NOT disappoint. It was soo good and so fresh...I wish I had a bigger stomach because I would have ordered more! The staff were also very nice and very attentive. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in Sitka. read more

Our tour guide sent us to the worst Crab-Seafood Boil I have ever had! We spend $160+ on their Chowder and a two person Crab Seafood Boil that was so bad. The Crab was so over cooked that a lot of the legs did not have any meat left in them and the legs that did were super rubbery. The potatoes were still crunchy and not cooked enough, the corn was good and the sausage was good. The chowder was okay but nothing amazing. The Margarita drink I ordered was not very good but it was something I'd never heard of so I may just not have liked it. Don't waste your money on this place. We regret even stopping here, it was just that bad! read more

Outstanding clam chowder; the BEST I've ever had! Truly, outstanding!! Their King crab legs are gigantic and really phenomenal! We also tried the Dungeness (spelling?) crabs. Our favorite was the King crab legs! We enjoyed the chowder so much that we returned the next day to enjoy more! read more

Halibut Point Crab & Chowder - King Crab - Seafood Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

I would avoid this tourist trap at all costs. I tried to have lunch there today and the host some big girl with black hair asked me for how many and I told her I was eating alone brought me over to a table and then literally wiped the table with her hand? I was sitting there the table was dirty, filled with crumbs from the last people, and I asked the waiter if I could get the table wiped off or if I could just move to another table. The hostess comes over and says what's the problem in the nastiest tone. I told her she sent me at a dirty table and this is unacceptable. She literally said to me whatever so I got up and walked out. They will not get my money and I'm glad because two other people on the ship eat there, and they said that the food was not good at all. They really should have a talk with their staff. read more

Please please please! Don't be fooled on their 4 star review! We ordered the $99 crab sampler and my goodness gracious, it was horrible . The king crab was brined. Salty as AF! The Dungeness and the tanner was bland and watered down..no taste what so ever..maybe if you squeeze a lemon in it would taste something but my oh my,,lemon was dry! Laughing so hard while I'm writing this review..we don't wanna ruin our trip. Not what we expected from Sitka alaska..beautiful view tho. You can see your cruise ship from where you are sitting..oh don't make me forget the $15 bowl clam chowder, dang!! I was confused!! I thought they'd didn't hear me right..but I guess a bowl for them is a cup..I'm getting angry by the bite it's not even funny..so disappointed that I was compelled to write this review right away..I'm just happy that we saved a couple who sat next to us and told them it's not good and they left right away..the waitress was pretty friendly tho..but she didn't ask us how was the food maybe because she know it wasnt Good.wahhahahhaah! read more

Halibut Point Crab & Chowder - Seafood Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

I got off my ship and wanted to try something different from the cruise food. There were not too many people inside and maybe 3 or 4 employees. I waited about 5 minutes to be seated which I thought was odd since the place was pretty empty as I mentioned. I looked over the menu and was anticipating steep prices however these prices exceeded my expectations. I guess they have to make up for the months they close when the cruise ships stop coming to port. My service was just ok, it was pretty slow for an unknown reason. I tried the halibut and fries and a cup of chowder. Halibut was fresh but the tartar tasted like something out of a jar, the fries were not crispy either. I wouldn't order it again. The chowder was good, not too many clams as I would have liked. Overall, it was just ok. It's a real tourist trap if you ask me. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's probably owned by the cruise line. I enjoyed the views and if I ever come back, I'd just stick to the chowder. read more

View the service and the king crab was all amazing. Great local micro brews as well. Loved it

Had to feed some hungry kids (and adults) right before a cruise excursion. Took us in, and got us some to-go chowder in bread bowls quickly. Very fast service. Chowder was excellent!!! Well worth it. Place was clean too. Side note: manager was right, the place isn't a McDonalds! :-) read more

Just OK. The crab chowder in a bread bowl was average an the bread bowl was burnt. The Cesar salad was tasty though. The prices were high but I guess you need to expect that at a cruise terminal. The service was good. read more

Located right in the port, this restaurant is very convenient for cruisers. The waitresses are friendly. We had no difficulty getting a table even though a 3000 passenger ship had just docked. The food was overall a disappointment. The chowder was slightly better than average but nothing I would order again. The king crab was dry and stringy. No flavor to it at all. Costco has much better quality. The corn fritters were amazing. I had them as a side to the chowder and then took an entire order to go. I also had a great local beer. Go for a beer and fritters. Get your crab elsewhere. read more
