    One order of Dungeness
    Natalie S.

    We were in with a bigger party of 6 adults and 4 kids. I was worried we wouldn't be able to have enough seating for us because the space didn't look very large from the pics. But it was a lovely day so we were able to sit outside at the several tables there. This is a counter service place. You place your order and then they bring out your food. We had everything from chowder to fish and chips to lobster sandwich to Dungeness crab and literally everything was delicious. I personally ordered the chowder and crab and would recommend for sure! The employees were all super nice! It's expensive but also it's Alaska and everything was a little pricier, as expected. I'd go early because by the time we finished up, seats were hard to come by!

    Halibut fish and chips

    The shack, as its name implies gives off hole-in-the-wall vibe. In a good way. We sat outside on the little patio. Everyone was very friendly. They had me at "halibut fish & chips". I love halibut and rarely to get the chance to eat it anymore. This fish was excellent. Three good sized pieces of delicious. The fries were okay, nothing to write home about. Our friend ordered the crab which he thought was quite good, too. The meal is expensive - $35 as of July 2025. I have no real comparison as this was our first meal in Alaska. They don't offer tap water, so you need to buy a bottled drink of you want something to wash down your food. Overall, happy with our visit.

    When in Sitka, AK, go for king crab and seafood at Sitka's Burger and Crab Shack! We had Alaska King Crab Legs and Alaskan Halibut Sandwich & Fries. We were visiting Sitka for the day from a cruise port and we were trying to find a restaurant for fresh king crab and seafood. We stumbled here after walking around discovering Sitka downtown. It did take a bit longer for our food to be ready but knowing two cruise ships docked they were so busy with lines the door. There is also minimal tables to sit but good time when our food arrived, we found a table outside to devour our food. It was a sunny and it was nice to sit outside taking in the wonderful weather we were lucky to have in September 2024 in Alaska. If you are ever in Sitka, must try out their fresh seafood!

    Sitka Alaska is such a magical little town. I had the opportunity to go on a wonderful boating adventure this morning & after all that excitement. We worked up quite an appetite. However we quickly discovered how hard it was going to be to find a spot for lunch being that it's also Sunday. All the places we checked next to the harbor was closed. Either opening later for dinner or under construction. Luckily one of the places we called referred us to Sitka's Burger & Crab Shack. When we pulled up, we were just so happy to see the open sign with lights on inside. Plus there was already a few diners with their food. The lady behind the counter was super nice, patient with all our requests & accommodating. Our order was started the moment we placed it. So the wait wasn't long at all. It only felt like a few minutes before our food was dropped off at our table. Not only did it look delicious but everything was piping hot straight from the kitchen. Which I absolutely love because I personally can't eat cold fries. Even after biting into my fish sandwich I could see the steam from the heat being released. Giving that wow factor. Since you can tell my food wasn't chilling in the kitchen getting cold before being delivered. Plus our cashier/server also happened to be the owner. So any time I meet someone who does a wonderful job ensuring their customers are happy. I want to help spread the word with my positive experience. Great customer service & delicious food is a double win in my book. Thanks for helping to make this day a memorable one. XOXO, ChelsieFletcher

    Great restaurant for lunch. We had the fish and chips. The fish was very hot and I was disappointed to see that it was not technically "fresh". It tasted just fine, but I think I expected it to be actually hand breaded and fried. This was obvious that these fillets came frozen from a store. The fries were excellent. I would definitely eat here again because their burgers looked amazing. Maybe I'll try that next time.

    This place was JAM PACKED but well worth walking over here for a meal. The service was efficient. As soon as somebody got up off of a table. It was clean and ready for the next party. The food was simple and was good. Our order came out quickly. The staff was well organized and friendly.

    Halibut Fish and Chips
    Cindy E.

    Just what I was looking forward to coming to Alaska. The Halibut Fish and Chips were Amazing. The crust was perfect thickness and crispness and flavored just right. The fish was light and cooked just right. My husband had the lobster roll which was filled with lobster on a fresh sandwich roll. Our friends had the chicken strips and chicken sandwich and said it was the Best they've ever had. Don't let the prices scare you away, you're on vacation...worth the splurge.

    Found this place on a trip to Sitka Alaska. Reasonably priced as many places were expensive and too overpriced. Food came out quick. Had the Sitka single 1/4 lb. Burger, side of fries and a Diet Coke. Food was delicious and toppings were fresh. Cheese was unique but good. Lots of Outdoor seating. There was also selection for Jucy Lucy but not the well know juicy Lucy with cheese in the middle. There was also options for King Crab legs (but expensive). Great place to eat. I'll come again if I am in Sitka.

    Clam chowder

    Amazing crab legs! The legs and clam chowder were so good Service was great and very friendly.

    The most incredible spot, we came here twice in a row and wanted to visit again for a third dinner,…read morebut they were closed for the day. Let me tell you something....... THE YUZU MISO COD!!! WOW! Easily one of the best things I've ever eaten. Cooked to actual perfection, the most delicate and soft flakes, infused with (not overly sweet) glaze. I'm like daydreaming just thinking about it. Every bite. I was floored. Even by the last few bites, I was still so impressed, it might as well have been the first. And that broccolini had phenomenal flavor/texture. Oh, and the savory butter board focaccia has ruined all other bread/butter for me. I fear I'll never be the same. On par with the food, Beak is community-driven, centering people, values, and quality, locally sourced ingredients. It was awesome to see where the main dishes were sourced from, right there on the menu (all Alaskan groups or local Sitka cooperatives!). My gosh, it makes a difference, and each bite is even more special. If you have a moment, I'd really encourage checking out their website and reading through the 'About' section. You'll fall even more head-over-heels in love with this place. Beak is the model for the future we need. Each staff member we interacted with was 10/10 stellar. They were beaming when talking about the owner/chef and how much they loved working there. Beak is gratuity-free (non-tipping), and any place that pays its staff a living wage gets extra points in my book! Any tips go to staff-selected charities/causes in the area. I'll argue with anyone: the pricing is awesome. Like.. actually take a second and think about it: - LOCAL ingredients.. that means great quality, AND you're supporting local communities (and they're *locally-run* ones too, I really can't emphasize this enough... **especially** if you're coming here as a tourist, you better be actively trying to find ways to support the community) - Gratuity-free/included in pricing!! - And, oh yeah, it's like the best bite of food I've had in my life. We don't even need to compare on relativity because Beak speaks for itself, but if you really want to go there -- live in any other coastal city, and you'll realize that it's a steal. Like it's actually bonkers. No one's doing this. I doubt anyone reads this far on a Yelp review, but even if I'm shouting into the void, it'll be in praise for Beak. Someone call the tire man, Chef Renee deserves her star!

    So dang good, we came back again for lunch before heading to the airport. On the first go around,…read morewe had both White and Red King salmon, and both were exceptional. It was our first time for white king salmon for both of us. We split a massaged kale salad, and I have to say I am not the biggest fan of kale, but this "tasted like Christmas". Very enjoyable. As if that were not enough, and it normally would have been, it was also strongly suggested that we get a cup of the creamy house salmon chowder. That one was perfection. I would probably eat her once, if not twice, a week if I lived in Sitka. On the second time around, we brought a friend who also fell in love with the food and vibe. I tried the duck fat & huckleberry dessert. I love duck fat in general, so I expected it to be very good, and it was even better than that. I believe it was a version of Akutaq. They also served the version with vegetable fat. I deeply enjoyed mine. I will definitely come back here should I make it back to Sitka again.
