    Empty plate of delicious biscuits and gravy
    Ziggy L.

    Been coming to Cape Fox Lodge for over five years, and the Heen Kahidi restaurant has never been better. Whatever changed since last year was perfect. The food was hands down the best we've ever had here. The breakfast, especially the biscuits and gravy, was amazing. Highly recommend!

    Breakfast with a view! The lodge itself is amazing and this restaurant definitely has a lodge like vibe to it. The view of downtown Ketchikan while eating your meal is exceptionally wonderful. We had brunch so we arrived after the breakfast rush which was nice, because we got to choose what table we wanted. The food was great and they don't skimp out on the portions! Bacon was cooked pretty well done and lots of fluffy eggs. French toast was good, just warm and not hot. The kids chocolate chip pancakes were huge and had lots of yummy chocolate chips :) Only downfall and why I'm giving a 4 star rating is because the service was slow and the food came out warm.

    Salmon entree.

    Came for dinner looking for a place that served salmon entrees. Got a nice table by the windows to enjoy the views of the harbor. Outstanding service from Spencer. Shared a salmon entree that came with two sides. We got salads for our sides and also broccolini. Salads were very good; however, even though we ordered salmon to be cooked rare it came fully done and then some. Very dry and fishy tasting. They took some off the bill but dinner disappointing. Did see a bald eagle flying around outside of our window. Took funicular back down to our place in Creek Street which was convenient.

    Terrible. The beer that was served had been poured out of a draft with stale lines. We ordered king crab and it was awful. As you can see from the pictures it looked as though it had been heated over and over again. The shell was soft and the crab was spongy looking. We are from South East Alaska and this is horrid. Worst crab ever.

    We have been in Ketchikan for five days and visited at least two Restaurants per day. By far our fave one so far!! Prices good for quality of food. Food was delish, service was great and the view overlooking Ketchikan was very nice.

    Cruise ship in port from Heen Kahidi Cape Fox Lodge

    The food here was good and was a nice break for the touristy part of the port while still being walkable from the port. You could tell this spot was a cozy hotel lodge for local guests. The food was tasty and the service was great! Price was on point with an average US city. Definitely worth a try.

    This was a amazing skillet breakfast

    We are staying at the wonderful Cape Fox Lodge in Ketchikan and this is the restaurant inside the lodge. Sometimes hotel restaurants are just ok but that is not the case here. The food is very very good. We ordered a omelet and a skillet breakfast. Our breakfast was perfect as is our stay at the Lodge. Everything was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this restaurant for all your meals. Don't leave without eating here.

    We found this place by accident. Cell service wasn't good, so no Yelp. We just got off the cruise ship and was looking for a place to grab breakfast. This place has free WiFi which was awesome! I got the Lodge Breakfast with bacon. Everything was done the way I ordered it. Eggs were perfect, crisp bacon, excellent hash browns, and a nice biscuit. I also got the French Toast to try and it was fabulous. Perfect pieces with nice golden brown perfection of cinnamon. The waitress was nice and did a great job. I would recommend this place for breakfast!

    This place gets one star for poor customer service from our unfriendly waitress who looked like she didn't like her job and it utterly showed." We sat there and patiently waited 25 minutes without any acknowledgement, at least to say sorry , I'll be right with you. They say if you have nothing nice to say then don't say it., so this will be short and direct. Well the black stuff on my shrimp was questionable , waitress says the cook didn't devein the shrimp! That said I didn't eat the rest of my dinner and was just shocked from the way we were treated. It was 4th of July weekend, perhaps the regular crew was out salmon fishing. I don't know yelpers claim this place is great, perhaps breakfast was better. I warned you, you're taking your chance eating here

    I have mixed review w this place. Staff friendliness 5 stars (they're all great) Price: 3 stars. a bit pricey (but everything in Ketchikan is) Food quality: 3 stars. They're not bad, but not great either. I stuck w seafood and hoped to be wowed. The quantity was good but the spices or toppings added to the seafood kind of was too much. Serving portion: 4 stars. Good amount for appy or dinner. Drinks selections are great! Ambiance: 5 stars! Great view!!! There isn't a lot of places to have a nice sit down in Ketchikan, this place is a great! I wish there was 3.5 stars but I based it on the food wow factor. I'd come back here again and hope I find one "wow, I gotta order this"

The Alaska tacos were delicious; loved the slaw, but I prefer the halibut to the salmon. Great view of a small harbor with fishing charter boats.

Let's start with the first point since that's what you're here for: The batter on the fish and chips is well-fried but bland. The dungeness crab is nothing to call home about. Save your money and buy crab from Costco or across the street--unless you want to spend $50 for 1lb of mediocre crab. The fries and salmon chowder are honestly the best part as other reviews have indicated. But everything is absurdly overpriced and nothing special. The latter point is what drove my rating from a 3 to a 1. Seating is self-serve. Tables are packed inside, so naturally after ordering food, we find available seating at the tables in front of the restaurant. 25 minutes later, a young girl with blonde hair brings out part of our order along with a snarky comment, "Next time, can you guys let us know if you're going to sit outside." Excuse me? Next time, why don't you tell me where I should sit if the tables DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF your restaurant are not an area you check when serving food, despite there being a sign about seating literally next to those tables? Then a second girl with red hair comes out and adds, "You guys can't drink alcohol outside." We apologize and explain that we didn't know. "Well there are signs everywhere." Okay. There are literally NO signs that say that (I challenge you to take a look through all the atmosphere photos from other reviewers and find one with the sign about 1. "notifying the staff you'll be sitting outside" and 2. "not bringing alcohol to the tables in the front") EXCEPT at the back patio of the restaurant... which no one would see if they're sitting inside or in front. Of course, we still respect the restaurant rules and move our stuff to their back porch "seating" (5 chairs propped against a fence with a 4-inch ledge) and finish dining. Upon leaving, we were met with glaring stares from the 2 girls behind the counter. Absolutely unacceptable behavior from a highly rated restaurant. Here's a tip for the waiters: if your customers make a mistake, kindly redirect them rather than assuming they did it with malicious intentions. And don't double down on your accusations if the customer apologizes. Here's a tip for cruisers to get better food for better value: try the fish and chips or fish tacos in Juneau at Deckhand Dave (MUCH tastier and MUCH cheaper at $21 for Halibut fish and chips), and eat at other local restaurants in Ketchikan instead.

This place is way cooler than your average coffee stop. During the day it's got the cozy café vibe, but you can tell it flips into a bar at night kind of a two-for-one personality. Now, the front-of-house situation deserves a shoutout. One woman was doing it all: host, server, cashier, barista you name it, she was wearing all hats. Service was on the slower side (understandable with one person running the show), but her energy was so upbeat, friendly and engaging. For drinks, we went with an extra-hot vanilla latte and a chai latte. That chai? Easily top five of my life spicy, creamy, just perfect. We couldn't resist grabbing a snack too: crispy king crab wontons (can't remember the exact name, but you'll know them when you see them). They came with this cheesy dipping sauce that was ridiculously addictive. Here's the kicker though two lattes and that appetizer set us back about $40. Not cheap, but honestly, that's kind of the Alaska way. Everything up there runs pricey, so you just roll with it. All in all, The Krabby crab is a great spot to hide from the elements, recharge with some caffeine, grab a little bite, and yes they even have a nice bathroom, which every traveler knows is a big deal.

So we went in. Services were great as staffs are so friendly. Food is in the higher price range for me. Fish and Chips in the picture is $28. However, it's understandable as it is tourist area. So we are happy to pay.

Now I don't necessarily blame the establishment (they publish tons of warnings and you consume these at your own risk), but the food poisoning he got here did leave my hubby out of commission for two days during our cruise to Alaska. So be aware. The shack is located right off the cruise dock in Ketchikan. The day we visited, they had two varieties on offer: Blue Starr and Canoe Lagoon. Hubby got a dozen sampler plate for $40 before tax and tip. The couple running the Shack were very friendly and chatty, and they made us feel so welcome. This is a strictly outdoor restaurant, so we grabbed a picnic table along the water. The oysters looked nice and fresh, and they smelled of the sea. Nothing was "off" about them at all. They were served with the traditional mignonette sauces that were very good. I didn't eat any oysters, so I didn't get sick. But my hubby sure did, and within a couple of hours of eating here. I don't really think I can recommend this place but then again, it was his choice to consume raw shellfish. Just be careful and be aware in case you get a bad batch.
