California omelette
Andrew H.

You know a place is good when it's in an airport and most of its customers aren't hopping on a plane! This is a diner-style place: breakfast all day, lunch too (and even dinner here, a non-diner feature!), carpet of questionable maintenance status, and extra-friendly service. They also have one of those refrigerated pie cases. You know, that transparent, tower-style refrigerator that would be useless for anything but pies? That. The pies are supposed to be the best thing here but...I didn't try any. I'm sorry. Next time when I haven't already put on 10lbs of holiday weight! In two weeks in Sitka I ate here twice, and wished I had made it thrice! Awesome, big, beefy breakfasts! The coffee sucks (authentic, for a diner) but there are unlimited amounts. (you get your own coffee here, which I actually prefer, no refill anxiety!) Definitely come here if you're in Sitka. If you're flying out around breakfast time, check your bags and come eat over here!

Carnivore Omelette with biscuit and crispy hashbrowns
Jocelyn F.

Thankful for a full belly from the Nugget at the Sitka airport after being turned away from brekkie at Mean Queen at 11:25am on a Saturday. The Nugget was out of chicken fried steak so ordered the corned beef hash, sub fries, biscuit, and side of gravy. Companion had a meaty omelette with biscuit and $1 upgrade to crispy hash browns. Crispy biscuits were actually super tasty dipped into the gravy, corned beef hash cooked to crispy perfection, gravy had decent flavor, over hard eggs were delicious, and omelette wasn't over cooked or brown. They've got breakfast down. Brought our own coffees from Highliner and they didn't bat an eye. Loved our server, he was so kind and apologetic regarding being out of the steak, it being busy, and I guess we got the last two biscuits in the house!

Omelet with salsa & toast!
Avi R.

Located inside the sitka airport, is a great place to have breakfast or brunch when you have a layover. Service was decent, food arrived fast and fresh. Omelet was good, toast was alright. Prices are pretty decent for airport! Overall no complaints!

Chocolate chip pancakes, very mediocre, didn't ask for whipped cream, but got it anyway... I'll take it I guess

Lots of expectations coming in to here. I was really looking forward to huge portions and good food, but was let down multiple times by lazy workers and a bad meal. Every time I go here the place is absolutely packed, filled with sports teams and adults. Our service was pretty bad, but the prices were cheap. My group ordered Shrimp cocktail, pancakes, and more, but we all got pancakes, must of been a miscommunication, because only 1 of us ordered pancakes. Our waiter barely spoke to us, usually bringing the wrong food/drink, but still had the audacity to ask for a tip. The prawn basket (also the wrong order), had 4 farm fished prawns in it, and had more butter than I could handle. The pancakes however, were very big, uncooked on the inside and burnt on the outside. The only thing here that was good was the milk, it tastes straight from the cow. I am honestly very frustrated with The Nugget, but I guess this is what you can expect for such a cheap price, as of for now, I'll stick to pop tarts.

Classic Sitka diner that just happens to be in the airport. Food is good most of the time, pies are well known (wish they would make sure they are golden brown and not falling apart). The nugget burger is a monster of a burger, usually a go-to for me. Sometime speed is an issue here, workers are usually really nice.

Only the fruit pies are homemade, the cream pies and everything else on the menu is obviously NOT.

Sitka was a port stop on our cruise and since we didn't have Alaskan King Crab in Ketchikan we said…read morewe absolutely had to get it in Sitka. Did a little research and while there weren't many restaurants who both served Alaskan King Crab and had great reviews with the exception of Burger & Crab Shack so we had to go. When we arrived there was literally a really short line so we hopped right on and ordered. We came for the Alaskan King Crab so that's what we ordered and BBBAAAAYYYYBBBBEEEEE did they deliver - OMG! The largest, juciest and most fresh Alaskan King Crab I've ever had. Nothing I've had in the past even comes close to comparing - and it was absolutely positively worth every penny. Chefs Kiss! The staff was very friendly too and made sure everyone who was dining there was happy. Highly recommend this place for Alaskan King Crabs and for pretty much everything else on the menu because we saw folks eating burgers ... MASSIVE and their fish and chips and it all looked amazing!

I was in Sitka for a work trip this summer during peak tourist season with lots of cruise ships in…read moretown. By the time I was able to grab lunch it was around 2:30-3, so most of the cruise ship crowds had already cleared out and it wasn't busy at all. They were unfortunately sold out of the fish and chips, which I'm sure is one of the hot commodities with all the tourists so I ended up getting a cheeseburger instead and honestly, it was SO good. I was really impressed! The burger was great and the bun was super fresh. The fries could've used a little more seasoning for me, but they were still good. Definitely recommend stopping in if you're in Sitka! Next time I'll just have to get there earlier so I can try the fish and chips!

We had…read morepreviously visited this restaurant when we were in Sitka in 2023 and had an outstanding experience. ​Before even dining in the restaurant, we had visited and discussed local specials and food options, and we were assured that the local specials would still be available the next weekend from the date we spoke with the hostess. Yet, when we visited the restaurant, we were told that these specials were no longer being offered. We were informed of this only after waiting approximately 25 minutes after being seated just for a server to come over, greet us, and take our drink orders. ​We decided to accept this misunderstanding regarding the local specials and ordered. Drinks took a long time to arrive, with a draft beer being served well after our cocktails were. ​We ordered crab combos for the table to share so we could sample multiple items without over-ordering. The server was fully aware that the crab plates were for the entire table, yet we were given only two pairs of crab scissors for a four-person party, no extra plates, and no containers for crab shells. Later, extra scissors were hastily delivered without the server checking on anything else we needed. We were only offered shell containers after we had already built up a large pile of crab shells on a plate we had to repurpose ourselves. ​The food itself was very good, with the exception of the clam chowder, which was mediocre. However, as the food was served, we noticed flies buzzing around our table and landing on our food. We constantly had to shoo flies away from our meals and our faces, with one landing directly on my face. Because the crab was protected by its shell, we ate that, but we ended up leaving the majority of the rest of the food once we noticed the flies landing on it. ​When one member of our party asked to refresh their cocktail, we were told the bar was closing after 5:00 PM. Had we been greeted and served promptly after being seated, this wouldn't have been an issue. ​After these experiences, we brought our concerns to our server's attention, and she brought the manager over to speak with us. The manager claimed that our server was probably just busy with other things and stated that she couldn't help flies coming into the restaurant, though she assured us they sanitize everything daily. The manager agreed to reduce our bill by 50% to compensate for our negative experience. However, when the server brought the bill, she stated it would only be reduced by 20% and tried to explain why this was sufficient. We were deeply disappointed that the manager would not honor her own agreement, just as they refused to honor what they had communicated to locals. ​If you're looking for outstanding clam chowder, I recommend The Pub downtown, which also has outstanding burgers. If you're looking for local crab, I highly recommend the Burger & Crab Shack just off downtown. Both of these places offer a great atmosphere and service, and will provide a much more authentic local experience.

They have a nice bar area where they serve restaurant style sit down service. The menu had many options from Reindeer sausage roll to a full on Crab boil feast for the table. The prices are geared towards the tourists and not the locals. The restaurant is pretty big with plenty of table seating inside, and outside when weather permits. They lure you in with the big tank outside that is labeled. LIVE CRABS and inside is indeed live Dungeness crabs. I was going to order the Reindeer Sausage but not being able to find any pictures, I went with the clam chowder which was thick and nicely seasoned. Next time I will get it I the fresh baked sourdough bread which looked awesome.
