Awesome Dungeness crab with fried rice and a delightful homemade berry cobbler served by the…read morefriendliest couple ever. To us, this was the best meal of our entire cruise to Alaska, including the ones on the ship! This lovely establishment is run by a lively couple - Todd and Srisa. Todd is the fisherman who goes out to catch your crab just an hour or two in advance of your meal. Together, they prepare a wonderful meal of steamed Dungeness Crab that is the freshest ever, accompanied by servings of Thai Fried Rice for everyone in your party. Mix the chunks of crab into the rice and voila' - The best crab fried rice I've ever tasted! Both of them cook and together they come out to present each course. The dessert is a delicious homemade berry cobbler made from wild berries that Sri handpicked herself. Just WOW. C A L L A H E A D ! ! ! Their usual mode of operation seems to serve private small tour groups, but my advice is to call ahead of time to reserve your table (ideally before you board your cruise) and tell them which day you are coming into Icy Point Strait. They'll definitely save a table for you if you give them a heads-up! D I R E C T I O N S : If your cruise ship itinerary says "Icy Point Strait" as a stopover, take the little shuttle bus on the far side of the visitors center for $5 each. Or.. just walk the 1.2 miles over to the nearby town of Hoonah. Hoonah is a tiny little village filled with fishing boats and a minimum of touristy kitsch. HBH is on your way into town. The shuttle bus passes HBH on the way in, and drops you off in front of the harbor marina. Set your sights a couple of blocks back along the shoreline from the harbor and you'll find Hoonah Beach House (HBH). We would love to dine here again!

First off - I think I seafood in Alaska is a major rip times 4. Oh, the seafood itself is great…read morestuff and cooked well. But the prices are beyond ridiculous. Pictured for 3 people...plus (2) chowders...that was $373. Correct - $373.00. $47.50 a cluster for snows. King Crab $100-$115 lb. And I thought the crab were caught right there? lol. I can get snow crab...shipped to the middle of of the US...all the middle men making theirs - and it's 12.99 lb (even $9.99 lb) on sale. A pure tourist trap rip off it seems. And everywhere does it (it) seems - because they can. I'd suggest you think twice in this one - as the seafood isn't that much over the top better seafood. After doing it in this day, I'd absolutely personally save the money.

Love it! Only reason why it's not 5 stars is because service at bar was lovely but I can't say the same for the lady that took our food order. Other than that it's a great stop!

I don't think I will ever do that again to go here but because we were hungry and not much other options available, we went. I think they could do a better job in customer service though. We were a party of 11 people so we got 2 tables inside. I went to the counter to ask for menus and I told the lady that we are 11 and we need menus . She literally handed me 2 menus. I said, we are 11, we need more . She gave me one more . I said can I have a couple more please , she gave me one more. So, I came back with 4 menus . Anyway, we ordered some salmon tacos and wraps. They were ok. Not that much salmon in it considering the prices. They took a long time to prepare and when we asked for one drink because we forgot to order, the lady gave us an attitude saying you should have ordered it at the window. Im sorry , you being the only restaurant in town doesn't give you the right to raise your eyebrows on the tourists that feed you and keep your doors open. Be more polite next time

We walked away from the main port area to go see the whale statue and on the way back we stopped by here and so glad we did instead of going to their original location where the lines were soooo long and it would have been a very long wait. This location I feel like is just as good with more space and less or no wait. Highly recommend!! It is a MUST EAT while you're in Juneau. Please don't miss it!!!!

We purchased a 6 leg & 2 claw bucket that I estimate is roughly 4 lbs of crab for $590! That is about $150 per lb. 4 star review is due to the price, otherwise a 5 star review.

I came to the Fairweather Dining Room inside Glacier Bay Lodge after completing the day tour boat…read moretrip throughout Glacier Bay National Park. 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.

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!

"CRAB HEAVEN ON EARTH MIGHTY GOD"…read more This is every crab lover's dream. I was anticipating this place from the moment we arrived @ 8:00am wanting to skip breakfast and just eat crabs. Anybody who takes the ALASKA cruise always know you have to stop at Tracy's to experience the huge crab legs. The moment we got off of the boat at the boat, we caught a shuttle which dropped us off. We completed some souvenir shopping and next stop was TRACY's. We noticed the line at Tracy's #1 but we were informed of ALL YOU CAN EAT CRABS @ TRACY'S #2. It was a pretty distance walking but we decided to start and begin hiking. I saw a bicycle tour guide and asked if he could give me a tour on the way to TRACY's while the rest of the crew walked. We arrived at TRACY's # 2 and it was a nice short line. We hurry up and jumped in the line and ready to explore these HUGE CRABS. The back yard party was very unique and well kept. It looked your own huge backyard. As you walk into the garden area the bathrooms are to the left and to the right is the line which orders are taking at a small cottage house. Then the next stop is the beer hut, then the last hut is where magic is made with CRABS. In between the Order house and the Beer house there is a unique wide open wash hand station with foot pedal. Then to add richness to it, there is MEYERS GOOD SOAP, nothing cheap. (THANK YOU TRACY FOR KEEPING OUR HANDS SMELLING GOOD). The last house is where the MAGIC happens, The crabs are cooked and sorted. One unique touch is how they call your name according to your city and name.
