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.

Just do your research in advance as prices fluctuate and save up. We came a week after the second location closed for the season so we waited probably 40 minutes in line. The line would have moved quicker if there was someone inside helping herd patrons I think and make sure they weren't sitting like every other seat at the bars or using the seats to stow belongings which I found to be a bit annoying but that's not the shack's fault-- that's just selfish American culture for you. My husband and I got a medium and the bisque. I heard the crab is usually caught and frozen and steamed so usually tourist season it's just rewarmed but honestly the red king crab we had wasn't chewy at all. It's chocked full of protein so even the three legs for big eaters like us and three claws plus the bisque which had plenty of crab in it as well was filling. The legs were partially cracked so for us so accessing the meat was quite easy. Honestly, all in all, a bucket list meal fulfilled.

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 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.

The second location of Tracy's King Crab Shack is the place to be, and is not as crowded as the…read morefirst location at the center of town. 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.

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.
