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.

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.

We were camping and ended up running out of food so we stopped here at the end of one of our fishing days and it was one of the best places we have been in Alaska! We absolutely loved this lodge we can hear 3 separate times! It's a beautiful rustically decorated lodge with such friendly staff and a family-oriented customer base. If we lived in the area we would absolutely be coming here on the regular for the friendliness alone! I highly recommend any or their specialty drinks and their burgers with the garlic aioli sauce!

On the walls hung artwork by Alaskan artists. Had great views of the mountains while dining. Service was great. Our server knew the menu very well and answered all our questions. Food was very good. They were all presented and arranged carefully and were very visually appealing. Alaskan salmon was Japanese inspired with contrasting textures of crunchy breaded broccolini and soft carrots and potatoes, aioli glaze and unagi sauce. Halibut sandwich had generous parts of the fish. It had rosemary flavor with little kick. The veggies had some sweet flavor in them. Summertime cake was soft pound cake with strawberry sauce and candied orange. Good for sharing. Because our experience was very good, we went back the following morning for breakfast. Breakfast buffet was offered. American breakfast was hearty. It had two eggs, yummy potatoes, sausage (or bacon), and toast. Eggs benedict was good too. Our server Alma was friendly. We had great experience here - food, ambiance, and service.

We went here for dinner since Salmon Baked House was already closed for the season. Like most…read moreplaces in Seward, it's on the pricey side--halibut was around $36, which seems pretty standard here. I got the halibut and loved it--perfectly cooked, super meaty, tender, and flavorful. The mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts on the side were also delicious. My husband had the sockeye salmon with rice and Brussels sprouts. He really enjoyed it, though I wasn't a big fan of the rice. Our server was super friendly too and we loved the "high-end" ambiance. Perhaps it's considered a fine dining?

Everything is setup well and is situated in a great location! Unfortunately, service was awful! We ordered quickly and paid our tab up front ($60 for two chicken sandwiches and a basket of fries - including voluntary 18% tip, but not full-service dining). They gave us a pager and we found seats. Over the next 30 minutes we saw everyone getting food but us. I finally asked the status (politely) and got a seemingly annoyed response. I was told our order was next in line. I waited another 10 minutes and saw 3 more people served (who ordered way after us). I returned to check again and got a deep sigh and rolling eyes (mind you, it's been over 40 minutes at this point). They checked with their cook and he hadn't even started it. We were headed to airport and needed to get going, so when I pressed for an ETA he grumbled it'd be 5 minutes at most. It took 11 more minutes, which put our total wait at 51 minutes from time of order. We were never offered a discount, refund, or even an apology - VERY disappointing!!! The food was okay - but not worth that wait or frustration. We definitely won't be returning.

Further there are a couple of easy, scenic walks on the property. A 1 mile fairly flat nature trail through a wooded area and a 1-2 mile walk to and along the river, also fairly flat (albeit there is a hill with a phone at the bottom, Princess will send a shuttle to retrieve you). We used it as a base for walking the Russian River and Russian Lakes trail (to the first lake), both highly recommended. With more time we would have headed to Juneau Falls...there are a ton of hikes in the area, all which sound tremendous. Could also be used as a base for Seward and exploring the Exit Glacier/Harding Icefield hikes. Have fun! Oh. The rooms. Kinda rustic but clean and spacious, a wood burning stove and TV (used neither), balcony, and very importantly a laundry. Which we made good use of. Check in. We arrived at ~1:30 and lying in wait was a sugary sweet desk clerk who *very* sweetly and in no uncertain terms told us that check in was 3PM. The only thing missing was a "Bless your Heart". No wi-fi in the rooms, it is available in the lodge where there is a balcony tailor made for sipping wine and enjoying the river views.
