A group of us stopped into Mean Queen for lunch while exploring Sitka. Mean Queen offers a full bar. There is a pool table as well as mounted TVs for entertainment. Discover is an accepted form of payment. While looking over the menu, I sipped on a glass of Pinot Grigio for $9. My daughter had a Mean Queen Ice Tea for $7. Our table shared the Fried Cheese Curds for $11 and Ghosted Wings (qty 10) for $19. My daughter and I ordered an Oyster Shooter for $3.50 each. The mignonette was missing. We also ordered an Oyster Shooter for $8.50 which was served alongside a shot of tomato juice. We're from Washington and our oysters are served with pizazz. The oysters we received were lackluster and it didn't help that the mignonette was missing. I should have read the room better and ordered pizza like all the other patrons were doing. Service was disjointed. Overall, our stop into Mean Queen was quite disappointing.

Really wanted to like Mean Queen but service was slow and made for a less than ideal experience. They were out of a lot of seafood items. Our food came out at different times; by the time my friend got her cheesy rolls, I had pretty much already finished my lunch combo. We kept having to flag down our server who seemed to be taking care of all the tables upstairs and bartending at the same time. Seems like a cool spot but we were disappointed.

Great pub style, thin crust pizza!! the house made chili sauce was phenomenal... overall great vibe for a pizza taphouse! #DaveCares

Really bad chilaquiles.

We ordered chilaquiles and it was horrible: overcooked poached eggs, too many tortilla chips, bland mashed beans, scant sauce that had been totally absorbed by the chips, and a few shreds of tasteless cheese. The avocado was good. I took a few bites and found two long strands of black hair in the food. That did it for both of us. The fact that the waiter brought us to go boxes reinforced the overall impression that he didn't care much.

We were in Sitka, AK between Christmas and New Year's and this was one of the only sit down places open. We had a couple substantial meals that were pretty decent. Loved the atmosphere. They are located upstairs so you get a bit of a view too. Service was stellar.

Horrible interaction with the waitress. We asked if she minded if we could take the window table, she replied no. We took that as no she didn't mind. She then screams through the restaurant, I SAID NO!" Because of her attitude/response we just walked out. Waitress with the glasses should not be working customer service. Will make sure every one I know coming to Alaska won't eat here.

Great atmosphere. Great selection of beer. The best Bloody Mary I've ever had. Tasty pizza-thin crust and delicious!

Cozy restaurant, great view

Overall kind of a dive-y vibe. We stopped by on a cold and rainy day in late May on the recommendation of the captain of our small-boat whale watching tour. It was cozy and my grilled cheese + tomato soup was perfect for this day that felt more like November. My husband had a couple oysters which he says were pretty good, and maybe a BLT but whatever it was clearly wasn't very memorable. He said he'd give it 3.5 stars, which is about where I was hovering, too. The servers were a little awkward, like maybe they were brand new and hadn't ever worked in a restaurant before? They didn't seem to have developed any of that "server's intuition" yet. I'm writing this six weeks or so after the fact and unfortunately I can't remember what made me think that, but i do know it was more than a vague feeling, and more than one thing, and with more than one of the staff. You have to walk up stairs to the second floor and I didn't see an elevator, so points off for inaccessibility. It smelled like an old building, which isn't necessarily bad, but for me not the most appetizing aroma. The view was incredible, though, and the location was convenient. Between that and the solidly decent food, we didn't regret our visit.

Both times we've been in Sitka we have eaten here. The pizza is great and the drinks are cold. Anyone on a cruise to Sitka should check this place out.

Windows are good in the summer

The food here is always good and the vibe is very relaxed. This is a good place to bring the family for a meal and a great place to sit at the bar. Staff is very friendly. Pizzas are great. I like to order oysters as a starter. The fish and chips are good. I like the chicken sandwich and choosing a wing sauce to go with it. I got the garlic last time. This is def our go to spot.

This was such a fun vacation spot. Appetizers & a game of pool was a fun combo. The food & service was great. Thank you:)

Very gay 80s vibe... be sure to call first if you're wanting oysters on Friday.

Pizza is overrated. It's pretty thin and small but still expensive. The gluten free pizza is awful

Solid place to stop in to grab a beer. Cute little brewery with tons of seating very very family…read morefriendly. My favorite beer here is called the bud breaker, but they also have a bunch of other craft beers that you would enjoy. Their seasoned fries were awesome. They spice some with old bay. Stop on by if you're visiting

Walked here in the rain and anticipated a great beer after a long hike…read more We planned this stop long before as we love to visit and support local breweries. Walked in and there was already a couple of folks sitting around. I walked up to order and the girl kept doing her thing but didn't acknowledge me. I patiently waited not giving any attitude vibe I'm a very chill person. She turns and stared at me and now says "you ready"? Ok, let's get down to business. I ordered my two beers. One was an oatmeal stout and the other a barley wine. I asked to keep my tab open. She pours the beers and I was already feeling the dismissive way she was treating me. So I asked her a question to see how far she would go. "How long has the brewery been operating"? She answered in a nano second "I don't know". I grabbed my beers and sat down then told my wife "drink up we are outta here after these beers" I told my wife about the attitude I was getting and when another group of people approached her it was the same with them. She was short, didn't greet anyone, poured the beers and dropped the glasses on the counter. I'm sure lots of people have to walk here which isn't nearby for anyone without a bike or car. The barley wine beer was unimpressive with the flavor profile falling well short of the bold flavors usually in this very specific type of beer. They use shellfish shells to finish the barley wine and I've had this in other beers as well but in this barley wine beer it did nothing for it. I doubted the 9.5 ABV from the first sip. The oatmeal stout was also sub par and did not bring anything special. Maybe that's what the brewer wanted to accomplish? Overall I would not be recommending this brewery to anyone coming to Sitka. You're better off at Ernie's or Pioneer bar. Better service and good beers on tap.

Sitka was a port stop on our cruise and since we didn't have Alaskan King Crab in Ketchikan we said…read morewe absolutely had to get it in Sitka. Did a little research and while there weren't many restaurants who both served Alaskan King Crab and had great reviews with the exception of Burger & Crab Shack so we had to go. When we arrived there was literally a really short line so we hopped right on and ordered. We came for the Alaskan King Crab so that's what we ordered and BBBAAAAYYYYBBBBEEEEE did they deliver - OMG! The largest, juciest and most fresh Alaskan King Crab I've ever had. Nothing I've had in the past even comes close to comparing - and it was absolutely positively worth every penny. Chefs Kiss! The staff was very friendly too and made sure everyone who was dining there was happy. Highly recommend this place for Alaskan King Crabs and for pretty much everything else on the menu because we saw folks eating burgers ... MASSIVE and their fish and chips and it all looked amazing!

I was in Sitka for a work trip this summer during peak tourist season with lots of cruise ships in…read moretown. By the time I was able to grab lunch it was around 2:30-3, so most of the cruise ship crowds had already cleared out and it wasn't busy at all. They were unfortunately sold out of the fish and chips, which I'm sure is one of the hot commodities with all the tourists so I ended up getting a cheeseburger instead and honestly, it was SO good. I was really impressed! The burger was great and the bun was super fresh. The fries could've used a little more seasoning for me, but they were still good. Definitely recommend stopping in if you're in Sitka! Next time I'll just have to get there earlier so I can try the fish and chips!
