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

Fish and chips

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.

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.

First greeted by the hostess to seat us. Place was full and very nice and clean. Casual atmosphere…read moreand you were able to hear each other's voices. We both enjoyed the halibut fish and chips which were amazing! Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Ketchikan Alaska!

TOURIST PRICING! 3.5…read more Two things we really love... crab and chowder! We thought we would enjoy both when dining at Annabelle's. After a day of touring Ketchikan, the four of us had worked up quite an appetite. With less than a couple of hours before our cruise ship's all-aboard time, we wanted to try Alaska's famous King crab. Since Annabelle's was conveniently located near the pier, we decided to give it a try. We stepped inside and were promptly seated at a table by the window, offering a view of the dock area in the distance. The restaurant wasn't busy at the time. The dark wood interior gave the dining room a somewhat dim atmosphere. We let our server know that we were on a time constraint, and she was understanding. Our food was also brought out promptly, which we appreciated. The chowder samples were very good. We ordered Annabelle's Chowder Flight, which included three varieties, each served in its own cup: clam chowder, smoked salmon chowder, and seafood chowder. We all agreed that the smoked salmon chowder was our favorite of the three. At this point, we were leaning toward giving the restaurant a solid four stars. Unfortunately, our experience took a turn when the Alaskan King crab arrived. We were quite surprised and disappointed by the portion size. When the platter arrived, there was just one crab leg. Needless to say, there wasn't nearly enough for the three of us to share; this was clearly for one person alone and it was quite pricey. Perhaps we should have looked more closely at the menu and clarified exactly what the dish would include. While the crab itself was good, the portion size left us feeling that it was considerably overpriced for what we received. If you decide to dine here, I would recommend reviewing the menu carefully and confirming the portion size before ordering, particularly when it comes to the King crab. Although we enjoyed the chowder and appreciated the prompt service, the overall value fell short of our expectations. With other dining options available in Ketchikan and at other ports, we left feeling that our money could have been better spent elsewhere.

He gave great service and great recommendations for the amount of crab legs. We would need for the size of our party. It is pricey, but it's about the same anywhere you go. The food was tasty. The sides were delicious, that you gave us plenty of napkins and butter to go around. I would strongly recommend this place for crab legs. I don't think I would try the salmon or any of the other stuff on their menu, because that is not what they specialize in and you may be disappointed. Next time I am in this town I will definitely come back.

We had a group of 8; sat fairly quickly for being a packed house. Menu was decent in choices; prices were super high in my opinion for what you got especially with being so close to the water. But I get it tourists... charge more. The crab was delicious and prepared well. But the other items we got were just meh. The clam chowder wasn't anything special and the fish tacos were strange in flavor combos. They didn't mesh; but the fish was cooked nicely. Our waitress was an adorable Asian girl that was really kind and on her A game handling all the tables. Our table was by a kiosk where the waiters come to put in orders and there was a Caucasian guy that worked there that was griping to his coworkers about cruise customers. Basically said I hate when the ships come in and we get all these customers. He just wasn't kind nor seemed like he wanted to be there. So being able to hear that was just off putting.
