Fish and chips
B R.

Great place to come have some fish and chips. They got a really great blueberry ale. The Customer Service is awesome. The fries are outstanding.

Alaska Poutine with smoked salmon
Robyn C.

We were walking around and glanced at the menu hanging up on the window. We stopped for just one thing: Alaska Poutine. My daughter loves poutine and this one sounded different and interesting. We ordered it with smoked salmon and my daughter absolutely loved it. We will be trying to recreate this at home because it was that good. The young ladies who took our order and served us were so sweet! The place is very casual and laid back. I don't know why they weren't busier, but this is a place to stop at even if you just get that Alaska poutine

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.

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.

2 Orders Of King Crab Legs
Angela P.

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!

Fish and chips (originally has three pieces of halibut and more fries but I was hungry.)

The fish and chips are fresh and amazing. The salmon burger is delightful. Service is outstanding and friendly!

Loved the poutine with added crab- hands down one of the BEST things we ate in all of our Alaskan ports! Would definitely have it again.

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

Alaska Fish House - Fish and chips sampler: salmon, halibut, cod

On a recent Alaskan cruise, this was our lunch spot during the Ketchikan port day. As it's located…read morein a very busy shopping district and next to the Lumberjack show, this is a popular spot. On a drizzly July day with several cruise ships docked, we waited over 30 minutes during the prime lunch hour to order our food, with the line far outside the door and onto the sidewalk. But the line moves fast and we found seats in the 2nd dining room (there's also outdoor seating weather permitting). The food came quickly, a little over 10 minutes after we ordered. My wife chose the Alaskan Sampler Fish & Chips, with one of each of the 3 fried fish options: Pacific Cod, local Silver Salmon and local Halibut. It also came with a generous portion of fries as well as a side of coleslaw. Of all the fish, the halibut was her favorite. She surprisingly enjoyed the coleslaw, as it was dressed with a house-made vinaigrette and wasn't sweet (like many other places use mayo and relish). There was malt vinegar and ketchup on the tables. My salad had a huge salmon filet covering it, with vinaigrette on the side. It was very filling, and I felt better about myself for choosing a healthier option at port after days of overeating on this cruise. We did order sodas with our meal. There is a self-serve soda fountain with free refills. There is also a small bar inside the dining room where you can order draft beer as well as wine and cocktails.

It's literally the second place I ate while visiting Ketchikan, and it was kind of trash…read more The batter was overlay crunchy, did not like that at all. Also, none of the fish really had all that much flavor. I had literally only taken one bite of each piece and that was it. Clam chowder was decent, only because it had dill of course.

The Pioneer Cafe seems to have been around for 100 years and with food and service that great, they…read morewill be open for another 100 years. We saw a sign on the window that said they had a Reindeer Hotdog on the menu, and since the restaurant was pretty crowded, we stopped in to get some food to go. The counter had two empty seats so we were able to sit while waiting for our food to get cooked and packed up. The servers were very busy making ice cream shakes and serving plenty of plates with large portions of food at very reasonable prices. This is NOT a tourist trap but a great place to go for a home cooked meal with lots of love on the plate. The reindeer hotdog was delicious so I expect all of the food to be great and on my next visit to Ketchikan, this will be my first stop. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Pioneer Cafe delivers the classic diner experience and comfort food you're looking for. One night,…read morenowhere else serving food, we had a cheeseburger, onion rings, jalapeño poppers, and a waffle. The fries and waffle should have been cooked more til crisp, but the group "snack" hit the spot at nearly 10pm when they closed. The whole menu is served all day! Went another time for the chicken fried steak, asked them to hold one out of the three eggs, should have also told them to hold the hashbrowns since there was no way I was going to be able to eat all that food (also comes w/toast or biscuit) before getting on a plane. Was told the omelette was great and huge as well. Met the need.
