Mexican mocha
Andrew H.

Great coffee, but when we went to get food before Brewfest 2022...they were completely out of all food. C'mon y'all, put a sign on the door or something! Wish I could say more, but I really didn't get to experience much of this place. I hope they order/make/prep extra food for Brewfest 2023!

Sandwich

Cozy coffee shop and lunch spot. Nothing fancy, just good food and coffee. Worth checking out if you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy. Counter service and friendly staff.

Nice Espresso machine

Worth stopping by! Nice coffee shop with friendly service on Main Street across from the First National Bank. In addition to coffee, espresso and sodas, they also have ice cream, burritos and other pastries. It was delightful to find such a place on a hot afternoon off the cruise ship.

This morning, we went to the Rusty Compass for breakfast. My wife had the granola with yogurt and I had the chorizo burrito. We also shared a cinnamon roll. Everything was delicious. Service was excellent.

The Rueben sandwich I had was delicious as well as the latte! Great service in a quaint little shop with seating inside and outside.

My partner, a coffee snob, said it was the best coffee she'd had "in a while". Ambience was also sweet.

SCORED AT THE LAST STOP! 4.8…read more The name alone deserves five stars! In 2017, founder Kyle Rush, a former U.S. Navy fighter jet mechanic, purchased a food trailer and renamed it Woadie's. The restaurant was named after a loyal friend as a tribute to him, but also as a nod to the group's tight-knit military friendship. The slang "Woadie" means a trustworthy friend; someone you can count on. Building an entirely new permanent structure, which began in 2019, proved to be a wise decision. We left our cruise ship for lunch on a mission to find some good Alaskan King crab, especially after our disappointing experience in Ketchikan. We walked along the main touristy street, but decided to meander a bit and stumbled upon Woadie's! So happy we took the "road less traveled". The construction looked brand new, having been completed in May 2025. There is indoor seating, but it was such a beautiful day that we wanted to take in the surrounding Alaskan scenery. We ordered at the counter and sat beneath the covered patio. While waiting for our food, I enjoyed a delicious draft beer and took in all the scenic beauty of Alaska. Then our food arrived. I couldn't really tell you whether the saliva at the corners of my mouth was noticeable, or if onlookers simply thought it was beer foam. No matter! One look at our dishes and we just knew we were in for a satisfying meal. Traveling to Alaska is not cheap. Everything from cruise fares and excursions to food can be pricey, but at Woadie's, the value is definitely there. For less than what we paid in Ketchikan, we got twice the amount of crab! Their clam chowder was delicious, too! For most cruises traveling through the Inside Passage, Skagway is the furthest-north port of call. If you're craving really good Alaskan King crab and are willing to wait until the Skagway stop, I highly recommend doing so, making Woadie's your destination. Sometimes, taking the "road less traveled" leads you to the best finds!

The best raw salmon I've ever had. No lies detected. Reminiscent of the caught the day of…read moreyellowtail I had on Catalina island. This was so fresh! No fishy taste at all! It was interesting having like that wasn't necessarily Asian inspired. A bowl full of whole fresh ingredients. If you enjoy poke, come here. It was neat seeing the fresh steamed crab too! Awesome atmosphere and service! Fun vibe.

Amazing Amazing Amazing. This is a MUST stop! The fish and chips here are the best I've ever HAD…read morehands down. Their crab cakes are delicious as well but these fish and chips were out of this world fresh, flavorful and the batter was perfection not too thick and just right, served with coleslaw and tarter sauce and delicious fries. We sat by the bar and Molly the bartender was very attentive and bubbly and knew her selections of beer and what to go for and all. The service is the same and quick. We came at lunch time and was a bit full so there was room at the bar and was first come first served. The ambiance here is great, you can people watch thru the window and see all the cruise ships and have a quick bite to eat and enjoy the fun music and ambiance is great. Will def be back when we come back to Alaska this is the place to grab a bite to eat.. thanks for a wonderful experience.

Nice casual place but with a touristy feel. The staff are pleasant and courteous. They're aware…read moremany customers are cruise ship travelers and even know the departure times as well. We were promptly seated. Several customers were there so place appeared busy. We were on a time crunch so ordered the crab cakes and king crab legs. Both items came out in reasonable time. The $21 crab cakes were not great and had significant breading (2/5 stars). The $119 two piece king crab served with clarified butter was excellent and tasty (5/5 stars). They give you the appropriate utensils and pickers to cut the claws open. Overall good experience but wish I could've tried more items in the menu. Would return when I'm in the area!

You'll be shocked to hear we were here because we were on an Alaskan cruise. After we did the train…read moreexcursion and walked around town a bit we were ready for lunch and this place looked great. It turned out to be one of those perfect meals you'll always remember. This was in early September and the weather was perfect: in the 60s and sunny. We sat outside and both got the regular fish and chips (greenling) and it was really really good. Service was fast and friendly. They even had Simply lemonade and Pure Leaf iced tea, which is very uncommon. Skagway was my favorite port on the cruise and Salty was one of the reasons why. Would definitely go again if we're ever up there.

I am so glad I stopped at Salty Siren at the end of the port day! It wasn't too busy around…read more5:30-6pm and the weather had cleared up - I initially wanted to sit inside but looking at the view outside, asked to change to the patio and was readily accommodated. Sitting on that patio, having some beers and excellent food with that view, made me appreciate my life - no matter the ups and downs, I made it to Alaska to this very spot. :) Staff was friendly and it seems like this is a local spot, as I heard my server, Clark, greet some locals too. Clark was super helpful - I let him know what I was thinking (I wanted the 10 oz of king crab but not the side that came with, and also wanted an appetizer) and he suggested a swap from fries (I think) to a cup of chowder ($3 charge for substitution). He also suggested the peppered prawns. All of the food tasted SO GOOD. The peppered prawns had a punchy flavor that was tempered by the bread provided - and I used the leftover sauce to dip my crab into whenever I wanted to switch up from the provided butter. The crab was so much tastier than the one I had in Juneau with more meat! Felt like I got a good deal on it. Chowder was my favorite of the trip. Beer selection was good - I had stopped at Skagway Brewing earlier and really enjoyed their Spruce Tip Blonde, which was also available here. Skagway Brewing had run out of the Salty Siren lager (I have to assume it was related to this restaurant!) but this restaurant had it so I got to try it. Overall, I would come back to Salty Siren the next time I come to Skagway. It was definitely a highlight for my visit there!
