    Great fro Cruisers! Nice walk or take the shuttle.

    FRESH CRAB!!!! Great fresh local crab that they harvested themselves. The best Dungeness crab in the world comes from this bay. Not fancy but run by a super cool couple. Try her Thai dipping sauce.

    Stopped in Hoonah from the Royal Caribbean cruise. The ship and tripadvisor recommended this generic seafood restaurant to all the tourist. Instead we walked into town to ask the locals where the best crab was and they all recommended this newly opened crab shack. The Beach House is owned and operated by a couple. The husband is a fisherman and catches all the crabs you eat. The wife is the loveliest host and makes the best Thai Ice Tea. We each had a dungeoness crab. They were huge and the most delicious crab I've ever had! Ask for the Thai dipping sauce but even if you eat it without, it tasted like the ocean. Come to the Beach House which is only a short walk from downtown where the bus drops off. You won't regret it!

    If you only have one meal in Alaska, this would be it. I live in Boston, frequently visit Asia, and have some great access to seafood. This crab was the best crab I've ever eaten. The meat was sweet, juicy, didn't stick to the shell, and just simply outstanding. My friends and I thought the natural flavor on the meat on its own was amazing. However, it is offered with melted butter and a spicy Thai sauce. The owners' story is remarkable. Srisa and her husband, Todd, met in university in Oregon. Her husband is the fisherman that first fishes for chum salmon to use as bait, and then goes crabbing in Port Frederick. They have only been open for ten days, but I have no doubt that this will be a successful venture for them. I love supporting local, and this is as authentic as it gets. Asian people, you already know this. For those brave enough: Ask for the crab head and eat everything. The best meat is in the head! Bonus: Srisa is from Thailand, extremely friendly, and makes the world's best Thai iced tea. I was so happy at how delicious it was. For cruise goers, purchase the $5 round trip shuttle (5minutes one way) and then walk 5 minutes to this restaurant.

    Highly recommend if you're exploring Hoonah! It's a $10 shuttle ride or 1.5 mile walk…read more Came here for a port call and this place was the highlight! We opted in for the $10 shuttle to downtown Hoonah and it stopped right infront of this place. The staff was very friendly and recommended the burrito, which my husband got. He said the burrito was delicious. I got the Right On- omg amazing but portion size for 2. Love the gravy and the biscuit! Perfect savory goodness I wanted. We also got 2 coffees that were great and we continued to drink them as we explored the jetty. The layout was perfect; we opted in to sit inside but they also have seats outside.

Despite not a huge line/just an average side crowd, the food took 45 minutes! When we left, there were even less people and it was estimated to take 1 hour! One of the slowest places I've ever been too. - Honey Mustard Fried Chicken Sandwich - really just okay, the HM was kind of a lot/made it messy & soggy. Nothing special. 5/10 - Salmon Bites - Interesting at the least! Decent! 6/10 - Halibut Fish and Chips - Same as above. Dense. 6/10 - Garlic Fries - 10/10 - Delicious! But also insanely expensive at $15 for a starter of this... more expensive than LA! - Bacon Mac and Cheese - 5/10 - Forgot I even had these until I saw the picture... that says it all

The best part is probably the service, which was excellent. I had one really fair weather day with a view of the distant Fairweather Range, but even on drizzly days the bay view is lovely.

Although I wasn't a guest at the Glacier Bay Lodge, it was actually my AirB&B Host who suggested I make a reservation for dinner first thing in the morning when I arrived at the lodge. And...btw, Glacier Bay Lodge is the departure point for boat trips out on the waters of Glacier Bay. The dock area is located right in the rear of the lodge. I was fortunate enough to grab a 6:15pm reservation, though this was for one of the last weekends of the tourism season, at the end of August. Also, one more thing, lol...to explore Glacier National Park...by boat is the only way it can be navigated. The National Park Services in conjunction with the Glacier Bay Lodge offers one, 8 hour excursion from 8am - 4pm every day throughout the summer season. The website for boat tours is: https://www.visitglacierbay.com/tours/glacier-bay-day-tour/ So, it just efficiently made sense to have dinner here at the Fairweather Dining Room after finishing seeing Glacier Bay. I would also recommend to others out there to take the day boat tour and come here for dinner. Almost everyone on my tour was a familiar face eating inside the dining room afterwards. Another thing, lol, if you're not staying at Glacier Bay Lodge...then there's not many options to eat in the remote town of Gustavus. After dinner, my AirB&B Host was kind enough to pick me up at the lodge and drive me back to my cabin. Some details about this Fairweather Dining Room... - It had a cozy and rustic feel to it. There was a fireplace right nearby within the lodge. - The menu is limited to just a few options including salmon, halibut and fish and chips. There was also ribeye steak and a chicken dish. But, of course, when here on the Glacier Bay waters of the Inside Passage of Alaska...how can you not have seafood? I chose the halibut. According to the menu... "Baked Alaskan Halibut with lemon herb compound-butter, red-skinned garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed carrots and asparagus". As usual, it didn't eat heavy so I had room for dessert...a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream, drizzled caramel syrup and whipped cream (which wasn't even on the menu, but suggested by my server). Lastly, I had a decent view of the boating dock pier though the whole day was dampened by cloudy, foggy and tough conditions outside. Overall, eating here at the Fairweather Dining Room was still a rewarding way to end my visit to Glacier Bay National Park. I really liked the food, service and charming setting.

    We came here on our way back to Juneau from seeing the Mendenhall Glacier…read more I got the Texas size fish and chips. Hands down incredible halibut. It was not overly battered and perfectly fried. It was so fresh. The sidewinder fries were awesome! The Drive Through burger was delicious and the fries were also yummy. We got the pickles in the side - the person running the truck told us he makes the pickles. They were sooooo good. He also brought out a sample of the bbq chicken for us and it was very good. We sat at the table outside and ate the food and it was great! I will absolutely be back here the next time I am in Juneau. This place is a must-try!

While this isn't my favorite (try Sandbar), the fish is fresh and it's pretty hard to complain. Another win for fish and chips in the area. The shape of the potatoes is a bit weird looking, but surprisingly it works and they were nice and crispy. I did think the fish batter was a tad doughy on the inside, and yet a little overcooked on the outside. Not the end of the world though, and I still enjoyed it. We did stop by during the week for lunch and the truck was closed, which was a bit annoying. One of the brewery employees said this place doesn't always open reliably, for various reasons. Just something to be aware of. Better luck on the weekends. Overall it's a nice spot right next to the Alaskan Brewing Company, which has lots of great beers and a nice patio spot out back to eat your fish, have a beer, and hang out with your dog. Yum!

    I've been coming to Deckhand Dave's in Juneau for years after a local recommended it to me a long…read moretime ago, and it's been amazing to watch how popular this place has become. There's a reason people keep coming back--it's some of the freshest seafood you can get in Alaska! The entire setup is casual and fun. There is a lot of seating, but keep in mind it's all outdoors, so bring rain gear and dress warmly. Juneau weather can change quickly! There are several bars nearby if you want to grab a beer or wine to enjoy with your meal. You order your food, find a table, put your number on it, and somehow the staff always manages to find you and deliver your food. I have no idea how they do it, but they always do! Yes, it's pricey, but the quality is worth it. They only serve fresh, sustainably caught Alaskan fish, and you can really taste the difference. My go-to order is the Variety Taco Trio (I know I should branch out, but it's just so good!). The fresh salmon tacos when they're in season are fantastic, and the halibut is always a winner too. My husband loves the rockfish and chips--the fries are seriously stellar. They also have a great selection of local sauces for dipping, and you can help yourself. If they have the halibut chowder available, do yourself a favor and order it. A big bowl of warm, creamy chowder on a rainy, chilly Juneau afternoon is absolute perfection. They also offer oysters and champagne if you're looking for something a little extra. A quick note: they have plenty of signs about no outside alcohol, and they are very serious about it. Do not even think about BYOB--they will ask you to leave. They have free water available from jugs with cups, so just enjoy what they offer and follow the rules. Located downtown in Juneau, Deckhand Dave's is a must-stop for seafood lovers. It's casual, it's outdoors, and it's one of those places that feels like a true Alaska experience. Note that this is a seasonal restaurant (obviously)! It is outside seating only, and nobody wants to eat in the snow and cold.

You do have to walk about 15 minutes, but the dining room by the water really is the best spot. As we head to the tented dining room, a bald eagle swoops across the sky and lands on a post in the pier. While this is regarded as the best king crab in Alaska, eating king crab in Juneau is actually insanely expensive. Well if you have come all this way, when in Rome? You can order the king crab legs per leg or in a combo that also includes 4 mini crab cakes, a cup of crab bisque, and rolls. If you have a group, get a bucket of crab legs. They offer both red king crabs and golden king crabs. Go with the red and don't bother with the golden. The red king crabs have more meat and have a sweeter flavor. (Also, if you bring cash, you can avoid the 3% credit card fee.) We get a couple combos including crab chowder, crab cakes, drinks, and red king crab legs, plus legs for the rest of the group. They give you a crab cracking tool. There are a couple prongs on top for holding the top of the shell in place and a sharp edge for ripping the shell open from the bottom. Watch out for the sharp pointy spikes of the shell, so tread carefully. You sort of rock the cracker up and down in a straight line lengthwise until the entire cylinder of crab is free. There are three main pieces. The biggest leg segment has the sweetest and firmest crab meat. The smaller leg segment is more tender and even juicier. The body segment has a big bundle of flaky flesh. I can't remember if I've ever had a red king crab leg all to myself, so this is definitely the most and best king crab I've ever had.

    Tracy's is one of those places "you just have to try" but it's probably not a place you'll visit a…read moresecond time. We considered it more of an "excursion/experience" than a legitimate meal. At nearly $100 for a single King Crab leg, it certainly is one of the highest "cost per bite" you'll ever have. And to be honest, it didn't taste much different than the frozen King Crab available at our local grocer's meat counter. Some folks will stand line for nearly an hour to score a seat at a shared table. The crew are friendly and once you finally order the food comes quickly. The room is small, cramped and loud. But, again - it's an experience you'll not get anywhere else. I'm glad we finally crossed this off the list, but I doubt we'll do it again.
