We had a little time to kill before our excursion in Ketchikan, so we ducked into The Krabby crab shack for a warm-up and to escape the cold, rainy, dreary weather. First impression? This place is way cooler than your average coffee stop. During the day it's got the cozy café vibe, but you can tell it flips into a bar at night kind of a two-for-one personality. Now, the front-of-house situation deserves a shoutout. One woman was doing it all: host, server, cashier, barista you name it, she was wearing all hats. Service was on the slower side (understandable with one person running the show), but her energy was so upbeat, friendly and engaging. For drinks, we went with an extra-hot vanilla latte and a chai latte. That chai? Easily top five of my life spicy, creamy, just perfect. We couldn't resist grabbing a snack too: crispy king crab wontons (can't remember the exact name, but you'll know them when you see them). They came with this cheesy dipping sauce that was ridiculously addictive. Here's the kicker though two lattes and that appetizer set us back about $40. Not cheap, but honestly, that's kind of the Alaska way. Everything up there runs pricey, so you just roll with it. All in all, The Krabby crab is a great spot to hide from the elements, recharge with some caffeine, grab a little bite, and yes they even have a nice bathroom, which every traveler knows is a big deal. read more

Really good thing that they open early. Jimmy wanted his Fish and Chips before 10 am after our cruise was on dock. Walking around and see they open already with nice clean look. So we went in. Services were great as staffs are so friendly. Food is in the higher price range for me. Fish and Chips in the picture is $28. However, it's understandable as it is tourist area. So we are happy to pay. read more

Visiting Ketchikan for the day and had been told about this location for lunch. They were not busy so we stopped in. The staff was very nice as was our server. I had the fish and chips and my wife had the fried chicken sandwich. The couple with us shared the Seaman's Feast. My fish and chips were good. The chicken sandwich was ok but the patty was of the same consistency as a Tyson patty. The Seaman's Feast was tasty but not really worth the $249 price tag. I did have an Alaskan Amber beer which was cold and refreshing. The highlight was the Moose Droppings which are the mini churro balls with vanilla ice cream. These were delicious! Overall, our visit was average. read more

The Krabby Crab Shack - Fish and chips (originally has three pieces of halibut and more fries but I was hungry.) - Seafood Near Me - Ketchikan, Alaska

We dinned here in the middle of an 11 day cruise that my in-laws took us on, and at the end of the trip when asked what was one of the most memorable parts of the trip I said "lunch here." This was my first experience with King Crab, and it was unforgettable. One leg practically took up the half the table! The meat was incredibly fresh and delicious, perfect on its own or dipped in the provided drawn butter. Delights Beyond the Crab: Everything we ordered was fantastic. The creamy salmon chowder was divine, and the side of corn deserves a special shoutout. It was so flavorful, I just couldn't get enough. (Maybe Alaskan corn is just inherently better?) A Minor Hiccup, Quickly Resolved: The only downside was the beer tasting I ordered. Unfortunately, all the beers were lukewarm, which wasn't ideal for someone who prefers their beer icy cold. However, to their credit, when I mentioned this to our server, they promptly brought me a frosted glass, which helped improve the temperature. A Must-Try in Ketchikan! Apparently, this is the newest crab shack in Ketchikan, but based on my experience, it's also the most delicious. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area! read more

Ordered the halibut fish and chips. They brought out the wrong order and gave me chicken tenders instead. Wasn't until a few bites in and I realized they gave me the wrong order. When they gave me the halibut finally (didn't take long) they must've rushed it because it was cold and soggy. They ended up not charging me for the fish and chips obviously but they still charged for the coffee we had. Nice staff and friendly. But I'd recommend spending the extra $10 at some of the other places. read more

Looked at it. But seemed very expensive and we can get the same ambiance in the SF Bay Area for less. Very casual Easy walk from cruise ships read more

This place is incredible! Great food. Even better service. So glad I stopped by! Get the chowder and a snakebite.

The biggest rip off in Ketchikan. I ordered a Salmon bagel for take out. I asked the lady, how long it would be and her answer was, "They only have to toast a bagel and put it together". More than 20 mins later received the bag with the food in it. I paid almost $15. When I opened the bag and checked to eat my lunch, there was nothing on the bagel at all. There was a container with a chunk of cream cheese with herbs in it. Talked to the staff at the place and they said the salmon was in the cream cheese. Did not see or taste one bit of salmon at all. Absolutely the biggest tourist scam in Ketchikan from an ONLY summer season non local food place. After receiving your response to my review: To the owner: I did not change my order at all. That is a lie. You should be ashamed to lie and blame me for your incompetence and ridiculous service of crap food that is over priced to trap a tourist. I am not a tourist by the way. I live here. There was about 10- 12 people in your establishment. it was not even 50% full. You are being untruthful and have no customer service or professionalism at all. Please refrain from attacking or blaming me. You should try to control your anger. read more

The food was delicious! Salmon chowder was excellent. Go early, items run out so plan to stop here first! read more

The Krabby Crab Shack - Seafood Near Me - Ketchikan, Alaska

The food was delicious. The service was great and friendly! I had the salmon chowder, no clams just salmon, and it was delicious. My wife had the crab puffs, similar to Rangoon or wantons and she was very pleased too. They did an excellent job with the fries as well! Not fancy but clean and very tasty food. Highly recommend this place if you are in Ketchikan AK. read more

Stopped in here because the place we wanted to go was a line out the door. Service was fine, we ordered the chowder and the fries with crab. The chowder was okay. The fries with the crab were rich and decadent. We also had a couple of glasses of wine. The pour was very small for the cost of the wine. It was like a 3 ounce pour. The Seating was outside and it was a beautiful day. read more

Great clam chowder. Friendly staff. A lot of other food options also. Cool vibes. Very clean.

am unable to eat fish or seafood, so when a friend of ours suggested popping in here for a quick lunch while on our cruise, I was hesitant. I saw that they had a pulled pork sandwich and decided to go for it. I had the said sandwich, our friend had the salmon burger and my daughter had the clam chowder and crab cakes. Not a single one of us left dissatisfied. The food was awesome and our service was too notch. What really sealed the deal was that I accidentally left a bag of locally obtained items and the lengths that were gone through to get my purchases back to me. Samina tried to get it to my ship but the gangway was already up. But they went even further and offered to ship it to me! I am so thankful to be able to get my purchase back! Not only did we leave with a great meal in our bellies and great service while we were there but Samina was so thoughtful and helpful in helping out this forgetful tourist. Many thanks to you for an amazing vacation experience! read more

Quiet, lovely staff, food was exactly what we wanted. Fast service and fresh food. Check it out!! read more

The Krabby Crab Shack - Alaskan crab leg... yummmm! - Seafood Near Me - Ketchikan, Alaska

We visited on a busy port day. The place was empty, which should have been a sign to keep walking. We went in and ordered. The beer was cold and tasty. After that it was downhill. We ordered clam chowder and crab cakes. The clam chowder was just ok. Nothing special. Tasted a bit like flour. The crab cakes were not good at all. It seemed like they baked them. It was missing the lovely fried crunch of a crab cake. They were mushy and pretty tasteless. Small balls of blah. Sorry we didn't wait in line at the other restaurants on the street. We would have had a much better lunch. The place was clean and looked new. Hopefully they figure things out. read more

We had the seafood bisque, crab cake, flatbread pizza! Amazing taste and quality. Lovely staff! Friendly, fast and pleasant! Would definitely recommend! Very clean and relaxing environment. read more

The Krabby Crab Shack - Loved it - Seafood Near Me - Ketchikan, Alaska

Food portions were tiny. Mediocre food at best. Very small claw. We came in a big group and everyone was disappointed. Would not return.

I liked the cleanliness of the place, I told the server I was in a rush to catch my ship and he brought out the food quickly. My wife and I had a King crab leg and chowder. It was a good Alaskan experience. read more

We had a nice lunch visit to this cute, clean lil restaurant today. Our group enjoyed delicious salmon chowder, salmon flatbread, salmon burger, bbq pork sandwich, and great cold beer. The service was very friendly and efficient. A lovely stop!!! read more

We ordered a king crap leg for about $ 88. It was quite small for a king crap. We stripped the meat out of it in a pile and poured their butter over it. Tasted it, and it was awful . The butter tasted rancid. Was hoping for a nice crab lunch in Alaska. Didn't get it. Got back home and made the same lunch with Costco crap for $35. Should of went down the street to busy place I guess. read more

We had the Clam Chowder, Dungeness Crab and King Crab Legs. All were excellent!!! They offer a very nice beer & cider selection. This place is pretty new, and very fresh and clean. The service was friendly, and everything well timed, as I love to get my chowder first, then the main course. I'd highly recommend if your a local or visiting! read more

The service is great, the clam chowder was tasty but a bit too peppery. The crab cakes were a HUGE disappointment! Usually when you go to a sea port you get lump crab cakes. But these were just breaded mush and also too peppered. The restaurant atmosphere is clean and pleasant. They did give us half off on the crab cake bill. read more

The nicest Alaskans we've encountered here in Ketchakan. Def recommend this place. The food was great.

loved the service and ambiance. we had the kind crab and it was amazing. The salmon chowder was also delicious.

for the price of crab there were 4 finger sized pieces. served on a paper plate with plasticware. wow

I was in a rush and they told me they could get me food in 10 min. 25 min later I left and asked for a refund. I talked to 3 of their employees. Bad service. I'd avoid them. read more
