It was so fresh. The sidewinder fries were awesome! The Drive Through burger was delicious and the fries were also yummy. We got the pickles in the side - the person running the truck told us he makes the pickles. They were sooooo good. He also brought out a sample of the bbq chicken for us and it was very good. We sat at the table outside and ate the food and it was great! I will absolutely be back here the next time I am in Juneau. This place is a must-try!

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!

The beer battered fried halibut tacos with mild avocado crema were absolutely mind blowing. So good that I ordered a trio and quickly went back to put in another order. I have not had a fish taco as perfectly fried and tender as these. Crap. This spot has set the bar for me and every time I eat a fish taco now, I will cry a little inside knowing I'll never get this perfection again.

As we rounded the corner southbound on Marine Way, we saw a cloud of smoke wafting in the wind, and a huge line of people. Would we join it? Of course; the smell was too good to pass up. The line ended up taking about 20 minutes, and soon afterwards we sat down at a nearby picnic table to eat. Combo 1 ($19) - This combo dish comes with two skewers and rice. We went with one of each skewer: Chicken Skewer - Fantastic char on the exterior with blackened almost charcoal-like crunchy bits, but no burnt acridity at all. The skewer is covered with a supremely tasty sweet and savory glaze. The caramelized glaze penetrates every bite of the meat. The chicken is a little dry, but the flavor is phenomenal. (5/5) Pork Skewer - Similar to the chicken, great char, great flavor, but unfortunately the meat on this skewer is a little too far gone in terms of moisture. It's almost like eating a pork jerky given how desiccated the meat is. (4/5) The rice is not good. It's very undercooked with a disturbingly firm texture, making it difficult to eat. The only way we could stomach eating it was liberally pouring condiments on top. Luckily, the truck has a plethora of condiments to choose from. There's white vinegar, spicy apple cider-ish vinegar, and plenty more. Even with all the flavor enhancements, we ended up not finishing the rice. (1/5) We also ended up ordering dessert here: Karioka ($5) - Pretty nice sweet skewer... or at least it would be if it had been fresh. I could tell that the inside used to be bouncy since it seems to be made from glutinous rice flour. It's fried, so there's a doughy chew as well, but it's too far on the firm side, indicating lack of freshness. It does have a good coconut flavor and the outside is nicely sweetened. I think the exterior used to have a crisp sugar shell ala tanghulu, but again it's softened by the passing of time and moisture degrading the dessert. Still, it's tasty enough and nice to eat. (3/5) If I'm ever in Juneau again, I'd visit Carrillo's again, but for the chicken skewers only! I would definitely not get anything containing rice again. Maybe Filipinos like their rice undercooked and hard, but not me!

Very tender, flavorful pork. Whole dish was gently sour, allowing the ginger flavor to still come through nicely. Longanisa and bbq pork skewers are the easy choice for Filipino food newbies. These were well executed here. The strong sweet/savory flavors are complemented/cut by the plainness of white rice for a tasty, filling experience. Together - this is Filipino comfort food at its meaty/carby best.

I went to a place before this and they were closed so I was in a desperate, bordering hungry, mood. I really wanted either French toast or Waffle and chicken. Chicken because most places around don't have non pork breakfast meat. Their Chicken and waffle is "hot honey" and I didn't want that. By the end, because they didn't have the right buttons for me to order what I wanted vs. their combos I ended up with a soggy waffle with an egg on top, I don't eat eggs and the smell makes me nauseous, and they didn't have to-go cutlery or any syrup for the waffle. I was in tears on my way to my car. I was stressed and starving and this was just a last straw. Very disappointing for a place that is usually great.

I was tired, having gotten up at 3 to get to the airport, and hungry after virtually no breakfast. We happened to see this little purple food truck and it looked like something to try, since we both like BBQ. The pulled pork sandwich was recommended to us, so we ordered one to share. NOT really big enough to share. Came with chips, so for us it kind of felt like a desperation meal. I didn't expect fine dining, by any means, but sometimes the food trucks have the BEST food going. I guess I should have read the reviews first because it seems like burgers are the way to go. All in all, it was tasty, but not overly so. If I find myself there again next season, I'm definitely going to try the burger.

A group of us stopped into Red Dog Saloon during our cruise lay-over…read more Credit cards are accepted. A full bar and kitchen are available. Red Dog Saloon is small and packed so we had to wait to enter towards the later hours due to our party size of 7. We didn't eat during our stay but we did have a couple drinks. It was fun to look at all the business cards, patches, hats etc. covering every inch of the walls and ceiling. Floors of sawdust assist with the old-time gold rush days feel. Unfortunately, we only had about 45 minutes to experience Red Dog Saloon before heading back to our ship. Staff was friendly and energetic.

I was really disappointed with my visit to Red Dog Saloon in Alaska. I had heard a lot about the…read moreplace and expected a fun atmosphere with decent service, but my experience ended up being frustrating from start to finish. The restaurant was crowded and loud, which I understand can happen in a popular tourist spot, but the staff seemed completely overwhelmed and uninterested in helping customers. What bothered me most was the service from our waitress, Summer. In my experience, she came across as disrespectful and dismissive the entire time we were there. Simple questions about the menu felt like an inconvenience to her, and the attitude we received made the whole meal uncomfortable. We were rushed while ordering, had long waits for drinks and food, and when we tried to politely ask about the delay, the response felt rude instead of helpful. The food itself was average at best and definitely not worth the prices. Some items arrived lukewarm, and parts of our order were incorrect. By the time everything was fixed, the rest of the table had already finished eating. The atmosphere may appeal to tourists looking for the "old saloon" vibe, but customer service should still matter no matter how busy a place is. Overall, this was one of the least enjoyable dining experiences I've had in Alaska. Between the poor service, long waits, and disrespectful attitude we experienced from Summer, I wouldn't choose to come back or recommend it to others. I hope management takes customer concerns more seriously in the future because the location and concept have a lot of potential.

While in Juneau Alaska I decided to visit the Golden Creek Salmon Bake. I had heard many good…read morethings about it from fellow Yelpers and it didn't disappoint. ALL you can eat salmon cooked over an open flame along with tasty sides were included. The salmon was very flavorful and was cooked to order. Apple cider, coffee, lemonade and water were also available along with a cup of clam chowder. A short (2) minute walk takes you to an impressive and visually stunning waterfall that's cascades down the rocks and into a stream. The food, environment and hospitality of the staff was greatly appreciated. When in Juneau and looking for a place to satisfy your salmon craving this might be the spot.

The Gold Creek Salmon Bake was a last minute excursion selection for my husband and I on our Royale…read moreCaribbean Cruise. Included with this excursion was hiking at Mendenhall Lake then they bussed us to Gold Creek. This was no flashy experience, the weather was cold but not rainy, but the setup was what we expected. It's a buffet style eating option with quite a bit of options. You're bound to find something you like and of course there was plenty of fresh salmon. We were not disappointed with any of the food and in fact went for seconds. It was a nice ending for our day and would potentially visit again if we ever cruise to that port in the future. If you're looking for something exhilarating or exciting, this isn't it. It's laid back and chill providing you with a calm experience. Depending on the time of year you visit, it may be cold and it may or may not be rainy so pack accordingly because I do not believe they offer rain checks. Also they have a nice little scenic trail that you can take a little stroll to walk off all of the food you eat!

The wait was about 20 minutes and the price was a little over $70 for three 10in pizzas. The pizzas have good flavor combinations but the downfall is the crust. The crust has no body, droopy, gummy in spots, and the toppings slide right off of it. Would I recommend this establishment... Yes it is worth the experience at least once. If you can ignore the industrial area it also has a great view of thunder mountain.
