"CRAB HEAVEN ON EARTH MIGHTY GOD" This is every crab lover's dream. I was anticipating this place from the moment we arrived @ 8:00am wanting to skip breakfast and just eat crabs. Anybody who takes the ALASKA cruise always know you have to stop at Tracy's to experience the huge crab legs. The moment we got off of the boat at the boat, we caught a shuttle which dropped us off. We completed some souvenir shopping and next stop was TRACY's. We noticed the line at Tracy's #1 but we were informed of ALL YOU CAN EAT CRABS @ TRACY'S #2. It was a pretty distance walking but we decided to start and begin hiking. I saw a bicycle tour guide and asked if he could give me a tour on the way to TRACY's while the rest of the crew walked. We arrived at TRACY's # 2 and it was a nice short line. We hurry up and jumped in the line and ready to explore these HUGE CRABS. The back yard party was very unique and well kept. It looked your own huge backyard. As you walk into the garden area the bathrooms are to the left and to the right is the line which orders are taking at a small cottage house. Then the next stop is the beer hut, then the last hut is where magic is made with CRABS. In between the Order house and the Beer house there is a unique wide open wash hand station with foot pedal. Then to add richness to it, there is MEYERS GOOD SOAP, nothing cheap. (THANK YOU TRACY FOR KEEPING OUR HANDS SMELLING GOOD). The last house is where the MAGIC happens, The crabs are cooked and sorted. One unique touch is how they call your name according to your city and name.

Went on a cruise to Alaska and this place ended up being the restaurant we recommend the most out of all the ports we went to! Definitely come to this location if you want to skip the lines. We went to the location on the dock which was packed, so we just walked about 15 mins to this spot. We did not have to wait in any lines and the food was very fast! It's a cute little spot with plenty of seating and outdoor heaters. We got the combo- crab bisque, Alaskan red crab legs, crab cake and butter/bread rolls for $98. An amazing deal compared to many other crab places, and the food did not disappoint. The crab had TONS of meat and was so delicious my mouth is still watering! read more

Tracy's King Crab Shack - Bars Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

If you're questioning paying $85/lb for Alaskan King crab.... just DO IT! It's so worth it... I still dream about this crab. That first bite was so gooooood I wish I could eat it again.. and again and again. The best and the largest king crab I've ever had. We ordered the snow crab and Dungeness crab as well to try it and they were both good! (obviously much cheaper) and you definitely compare it to the king crab but I would recommend skipping the snow crab and trying the dungeness crab more. The crab comes with these delicious butter breads and their other appetizers were yummy as well. We walked away from the main port area to go see the whale statue and on the way back we stopped by here and so glad we did instead of going to their original location where the lines were soooo long and it would have been a very long wait. This location I feel like is just as good with more space and less or no wait. I also enjoyed the vibe of this spot more cus it's outdoors with covered and heated tents. It just felt very outdoorsy & the view was great! The staff was so friendly and helpful as well!! Such kind souls! Highly recommend!! It is a MUST EAT while you're in Juneau. Please don't miss it!!!! read more

Lots of fun eating at this place that we ended up going there for all 3 dinners while in Juneau. Tracy 2 feels nicer and less crowded, we walked there one night and drove there the second time. Tip: they start out giving you just 2 garlic roll, but you can tell the "runners" to give you more. You can also request for 4 at time of order and they'll start you off with that. read more

Tracy's King Crab Shack #2 is everything I ever imagined about eating king crab in Alaska. It was sooo good with no lines and the best staff. When I found out I was taking a cruise to Alaska, I looked up all the best places to eat and Tracy's was at the top of the list. I knew my time would be short in Juneau, and luckily shack #2 (10 minute walk from original Tracy's) just opened for the summer. This location has outside eating with tent covering looking out to the ocean. Tammy the manager was so nice in helping us. We ordered the 3 lb Red King Crab bucket with Cole slaw and buns, mini crab cakes, crab bisque, and Alaskan Amber. Everything was so fresh, so tasty, and I have to say the Red King crab was the sweetest juiciest crab I think I've ever had! I didn't even need the hot butter that came with it. I'm back in Los Angeles, but I'm dreaming of Tracy's Red King Crab. Make this your first stop when visiting Juneau, I promise you work regret it. read more

We went to the "alternate" location, MORE than a 7 minute walk. It does have the same menu, has a very "clambake" vibe with big tents and picnic tables. Crabs were a bit pricey but because it's so rich, the 3 crab legs, battered shrimp, rolls, crab cakes and soup was enough to share with the kids and the wife. We also got some French fries on the side. Very friendly staff. I'd recommend this place for individuals who just want a consistent, good quality meal. read more

Some of the best king crab I have eaten. You order your food then sit down and it is brought to your table. A little advice, get some paper towels to hold the King crab. It will help keep your hands from getting cut. You eat at tables in a tent. They have a spot for large groups that can be reserved. The sampler with crab cakes, rolls, chowder, and crab legs was enough for two of us. read more

We tried the crab cake roll and the crab bisque. The crab cake roll had a little bit of actual crab meat, so that was tasty. The crab cakes in the roll had mostly breading versus crab. The crab cake roll overall didn't wow me. I personally didn't like the crab bisque since it was on the sour side. There was a line when we visited, but it moved relatively quickly. read more

Thank you Fejie for making this the best memory for me and my family in Alaska!!! Your generosity and beautiful soul will never be forgotten!! We walked to this second location for some crab legs are we're not disappointed!!! The manager, Fejie, gave us some advice on what to order. We did exactly as she said and the kids LOVED IT!! Plenty of benches to sit. Food was prepared fresh and efficiently. Fejie made sure to give us the best experience at Tracy's and we are definitely coming back!! Juneau was one of our stops on the Princess Cruise. And out of the 11 day cruise, the kids said this was one of the best experiences they had!! And that is saying a lot!! Please let Fejie know I sent you!! Enjoy!! read more

We've been to the original Tracy's, the storefront Tracy's downtown and now this one built to resemble the original, just 1/2 mile further down the pier than the original one was. Same process: order at the counter, get your drinks (alcohol and non-alcohol), find a seat and wait until they bring your meal to you. Prices have changed dramatically though! The menu is pretty varied but crab is still the main focus. Combo #1 is the leading order by far; 1.5lbs of either Red King, Dungeness, or Snow crab, 4 small crab cakes, small roll, cup Of Crab Bisque. Drinks are extra. Food arrives piping hot, right out of the steamer. The crab is wrapped in waterproof paper that drips when opened, be careful! Everything else is served in paper containers. I measure the food as crab then everything else. Crab was much smaller than the "old days" the weight measure used to mean one very large crab leg, and maybe one other smaller leg. Today's order comes with about 5-6 small legs and this is important because the smaller legs have very little meat at all so you are paying for basically empty shell. The red king is not nearly as good as the old king crab with the bright orange color. It was good, but nowhere near great. Everything else was good as expected. It is sad to see an innovator and very successful concept lower themselves to much smaller portions and sizes. I'm depressed as this will end up as my last visit as paying $250 for a meal for two served on paper, on old wooden picnic tables, is no longer an "experience" but just another money making scheme. My final point is why would you ask for a tip at the register before anyone has seen or tasted your product? That leaves the woman taking the order that punches in a half dozens numbers into a tablet. My inadvertent press of the 15% tip button cost me $30 for a ten second interaction. read more

We came here ten years ago, and today's experience was just as good. This location is further from the ship so there's less people and its open seating inside a covered structure. It's about a 15-20 minute walk from the cruise terminal. There's little food trucks where you order your drinks, food, and pick up your meal. It helps divert the lines and also gives it kind of a trailer park / food truck park feel. We ordered the typical set of food that has a bit of everything. And, at the end of the day we were full and very happy. The crab legs were smooth, fresh, and sweet. The crab cakes were also crispy, flavorful, and scrumptious. We also enjoyed a beer with our meal. Note that the food is quite expensive and it's not only about the freshness of the food, but also the experience. It's casual and fun, and probably one of the best (yet priciest) meals you'll eat for crab legs at a restaurant. Afterwards, you can rinse your hands off and wash them at a watering station. read more

We may be the unlucky ones, but the 3 lbs crabs legs we had were all overcooked, dried, and did not taste fresh. We were disappointed and not getting what the hype was all about. Maybe we were unlucky cus it wasn't busy when we got there so we got the leftover ones that been sitting there for a while? I would not recommend - or maybe the original store would be better. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! Our friends who had been to Juneau suggested we bypass the extremely busy Tracy's on the wharf as it gets packed when cruise ships come into town, and they were so right. #2 is the best! A 10 minute walk through town to find this amazing setting where the locals also visit for the most amazing fresh crab and great beer. We ordered too much for 2 of us but still ate it:) Suggest the following local caught crab Snow crab - more mild Golden crab - saltier and much more flavor Red crab - most balanced and maybe our favorite Chowder - just so amazing, a must Crab cakes - really fresh and tasty Also the crab cracking tool is the best and easiest we've ever used so we had to buy some as well as some great merch. People were very friendly, and service prompt. It is very fresh crab so expect to pay for it, but just awesome!! read more

We went to the original location which is about a 10-15 minute walk from the main cruise ship pier. I recommend this location for the true feel of Tracy's King Crab Shack. You will wait in line to order and then have a seat where they will bring the food to you. They will walk and call your name as well as where you are from. You still order from the original "Order Shack" which is a small 8x10 building. They still ring the bell to drop more baskets when a long crab bucket is ordered. We had beautiful weather during our visit so we sat outside. I had the crab cake roll and fries. The crab was delicious but the mini crab cakes on the roll were amazing! Everyone took care of us and the walk was well worth our lunch. I recommend going to Tracy's when in port. read more

Tracy's King Crab Shack 2 is such a gem! It's a little bit away from where all the cruise ships dock, which means way shorter lines but the exact same amazing food and experience. The crab was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and worth every bite. So glad the staff pointed us to this location, because the main shack had a 2+ hour wait. If you want Tracy's famous crab without the crowd, this spot is perfect! Worth every $$ spent!! read more

First time in Juneau and like so many visitors, we came off the cruise ships looking for that very special meal that makes our visit to Alaska worth it. Just a stroll from the main cruise ship dock running along Whittier Road, and past the Coast Guard Building, is Tracy's King Crab - Shack 2. The dirt parking lot and rustic crab shacks gives this location an off the beaten path feel. Like the shrimp trunks in the North Shore of Oahu, this location is grounded in the food and supported by a beautiful backdrop. Ours surroundings are the towering mountains of Juneau touching the edge of the sea. Tracy's lets you know you have found the right place to be. Our large family got caught up in a very powerful gusty rainstorm. Soaked, wet and hungry, our family of picky eaters were ready to be nourished with an Alaskan King Crab experience. We all ordered the #1 Crab shop combo which not only included 1 pound of crab but a nice hot bowl of crab bisque and mini crab cakes. The big question, which crab to choose, "Red or Golden?" "Red's better", said the friendly woman who took our order. Come to find out, most restaurants have Golden which is the smaller species, so we went all in on the Red Alaskan. She asked us our names and where we lived to help identify our individual orders. When our orders were up, you could hear our names being called and all the cities from which we came- Hilo, Denver, Los Angeles. One thing's for sure, we were all in one place, Tracy's Shack 2 ready to taste some freshly steamed Red King Crab in Juneau. Our 1 pound of Red King Crab was delivered to us in a roll of butcher paper. I unwrapped it like it was Christmas time, and there in front of me were the largest crab legs I have ever seen. The merus section, made up of the meaty top portion of the legs and shoulders, just slipped out of the shell upon lightly cracking it with the provided crab saw tool. Piping hot and steaming, the meat screamed of natural flavor. I just savored each moist bite, no sauce or butter needed. Our family commented that we are so used to digging around with a fork to get the crab meat still stuck to the shell. Not Tracy's, the whole piece of meat slipped out of the shell, it was a revelation. Many restaurants serve crab overly salted but not at Tracy's, as Chef Nate pointed out, "I cook it as God intended. I don't mess with the recipe." I did try a portion of my last leg with the butter sauce, and it was even more rich and sweet, but truthfully, for my taste, the inherent flavor was all that was needed. I'm with Chef Nate on that one. I was in King Crab heaven. On the menu at Tracy's were also outstanding items. One of our family favorites was the King Crab Bisque over rice. For folks who love their white rice, who could have imagined this cream-based bisque perfectly highlighting the main star, Alaskan King Crab. It had depth of flavor and was ever so good. That was Juneau comfort food, warming us up from our recent Alaskan flash storm like a nurturing blanket. And for those who love an excellent Crab Cake Roll sandwich, Tracy's is quite unique with mini crab cakes at the bottom of the roll, topped with fresh crab meat and a light coleslaw that can be enhanced with their spicy red sauce. This crab cake roll tops any crab sandwich I have ever had in the lower 48. At the end of our meal, I said, "Are you the manager here?" He looked at me bracing to hear a harsh complaint about my meal, but I extended out my hand to shake his and said, "Eating your King Crab today was a life changing experience!" Manager Jeremy thanked us for coming and walked me over to meet Chef Nate and the guys steaming the crabs. When you have a hungry family and all you hear is the cracking of crab shells and enthusiastic nods and one word reactions like, "wow," over and over, then you know this meal is one for the books. Eating Red King Crabs are an absolutely, life changing experience. And I would not leave Juneau without making a stop at Tracy's King Crab - Shack 2. They know how to do it right! And their Shack 2 location's crew under the leadership of Chef Nate and Manager Jeremy, satisfied all our Hawaii cousins who really know their fresh seafood. Our meal at Tracy's Shack 2 was our best of our Alaska trip and we'll be talking story about Tracy's until we all return for another crab eating life changing experience. read more

This is definitely a tourist spot! It's right on the pier where the cruise ships dock. Pretty impressive, too, with the large pots of giant king crab legs steaming. They actually have two locations. The 2nd one is about a mile away from the first one. That's the one we went to. It was less crowded and not as noisy. Plus we felt like taking a walk. The crab is pricey! My friend and I split the #1 Crab Shack Combo for $85. It included a small crab bisque, warm garlic rolls, 4 mini crab cakes and 14oz. of king crab. There was plenty to split. We each also got a glass of wine. The crab legs were meaty and delicious! The rest of the dishes were very disappointing. The crab cakes were little deep fried medallions with little to no crab. The crab bisque was served, at most, lukewarm. We flagged down someone and asked if we could have it heated up. Ten minutes later we still didn't have our chowder back. The employee said that something was broken so they were having trouble heating it up. We finally received it and it was very underwhelming. It was a thick, light red creamy broth, but just didn't have the flavor. There were a few nice chunks of crab in it. The garlic rolls were the basic store bought rolls brushed with a little garlic butter on top. They were dry; definitely nothing special. I'm glad we tried the restaurant. The crab was delicious. The other items disappointing. Now I can say that I had crab in Alaska. read more

They call your name and where you are from when the food is ready--fun way to get people's attention. Fast service, casual and lively vibes. Lots of benches and a beautiful view by the water.

If you are in Juneau, you know that you have to go to Tracy's King Crab shack for a crab feast. The original shack is on the Port area, and is usually full of locals and tourists. We walked the extra 15 minutes to get to the smaller crab shack and it was well worth it. There weren't many people and we were served instantly. I was blown away by the generous portions and how big the king crab legs were-- They were almost as long as my arm length. Everything is delicious and it's so great to eat there while overlooking the water. read more

We had the best meal here during our Alaska cruise! Pro tip: There are two locations in Juneau. Skip the lines and head to this spot. It's a 10 minutes walk from the cruise port, shorter lines, more seating and has a fun casual vibe! The Norton Sound King crab was my favorite. Live music was setting up around 5 pm as we were finishing an early dinner. Other reviews compared this to Skagway Fish ( next port stop). After trying both places, I definitely consider Tracy's King Crab the best. read more

I got 2 pounds of the king crab. It came out to like $180. I thought it would be cheaper but that's how much it is in Texas. There were pieces of it that were over done and crabby/fishy tasting. That was annoying. Sitting right under the heaters helped with the freezing cold eventhough it was the end of May. They did bring the food all the way to where we were sitting. It was a little difficult getting an Uber back to the ship but we got it. read more

It's a crab shack, much as you'd find in other locations with a lot of crabbers. Wanting the more local crabs, my dining companions and I had dungeness and snow crab (no king). They came out hot and were pretty good. I've eaten fresher dungeness in Seattle (and fresher blue in Maryland), but they were still tasty. Snow crab was an interesting comparison--thinner shell makes it easy to cut it open and pull out a whole big lump of meat. Definitely a fun place to eat crab overall! read more

If you only go 1 place to eat in Juneau,AK make it here! This is the BEST, freshest, meaty king crab you're ever going to get in the states! It's a fun experience too as when you order they serve it on sheet of paper for easy cleanup. This king crab was heavenly super fresh and I'm not sure I'll taste it like this again unless I come back. The crab basically fell out of the shell and there was no work getting the meat out! Price point was not that bad considering what we were getting. We tried king crab in Sitka too and it didn't compare to Tracy's! Well worth the price of the meal. read more

King crab is .... a little overcooked I think. The bisque was very good. That would be my recs to get here.

We visited Tracy's Crab Shack #2 on a recommendation from Alaska Luxury Tours, and it did not disappoint--it was AMAZING! The weather was perfect, so we got to sit outside and soak in the atmosphere. I had the king crab, fries, and a beer, and every bite was incredible. The music added to the experience with a great mix that created such a happy, laid-back vibe. This was hands down one of my favorite meals of the trip! read more

The biggest highlight of my Alaskan cruise was in Juneau as we visited Tracy's Crab Shack 2! At $70 per pound, we ordered the ALASKAN GOLDEN KING CRAB since it's described to have a mild rich flavor, is locally caught, and has limited supply. This was definitely the right pick since the seafood was so fresh. It also comes with a butter dip - it was neat to taste the different flavors that are brought out with and without the butter. The garlic roll on the side was also nice and fluffy. Fun fact: to make the crab legs easier to eat, they give you tools as an aid. I highly recommend skipping the long line up at Tracy's King Crab Shack 1 which is the location closer to the port and gets some steps in, to visit their second location. No lines. Beautiful views. So worth the walk! The staff were friendly. Not much service as per the nature of the venue which isn't a traditional restaurant-style but rather truly a "Shack". One of the crew members did come to check up on us once to ask if we needed anything. When you enter the area, you order at the booth per pound, giving them your name and where you're from. While you sit to wait, they call out "[your name] from [place]!" and bring the food to you. You are more than welcome to help yourself to iced water which they keep fully stocked up and cold near the seating area. There are metal picnic tables or bar stool type seats - your choice! read more

This place is overhyped and underrated. I don't understand why some people exaggerate about this place. It was very expensive for the low quality of meat that I got. I thought I was expecting big long crab legs, but mine were like short, barely any meat at all and when I asked the server, why is it so little he said oh sorry we're not in season right now. I went there to eat in August. For about $110 you got some small crab legs a not so good clam chowder some dry bread and some fried crabcakes which is very underwhelming it's not seasoned at all. It was hard to find a seat because it was super packed. You'd have to just stand there and wait until someone got up and sit down in their spot. They took forever to come clean the table. Save your money and find another place that doesn't try to scam you. For as much as they charge you think customer service would be great, but it's not it's just disappointing as the crab legs they advertise. read more

Nom nom nom. We went to this location as the lines are not as long as the one near the port from reviews and they were correct. We were able to get our food promptly and great service. You order your food from one shack , beer or wine from another shack if you would like and find your seat. Now they don't boil the crab in seasoning like I'm used to as a Louisiana girl but I knew this coming in. I had my own mix for the butter to kick it up but the snow crab was still very meaty for the price which was a plus. The crab cakes. Make sure you get them. The bisque was good with a little more spice we added to it. Overall if I'm back in the area I will be back. Kick back and enjoy the views here while cracking some crabs :) read more

We came off a cruise and at first the line wasn't as huge but literally 5 minutes later the line was 30 people out the door and didn't die down until it was almost time to get on the boat! They do a pretty good job of getting people in and food out fairly quickly. The food is WORTH the WAIT, Hubs and I split a crab cake roll, it had some crab meat + crab cakes + coleslaw. OMG it was juicy, it was hot (not spicy), it was delicious! *they have hot sauce by the hand washing station.

We arrived in port around 2pm, one of the last ships to arrive on a Tuesday. We could already tell upon arrival that Juneau was very busy. We got off the ship around 2:15pm and opted to walk from the furthest port instead of wait in the ridiculously long line for a shuttle. We got to the Tracy's in port and the line was out the door! No telling how long the wait would have been. Immediately passed that line and walked an additional 10 mins to this location. We are so glad we did because there was no wait when we arrived. Put our order in, sat down, and our order was brought to us within 10 mins! Made for very good timing because we arrived around 2:45pm and were on our way by 3:30pm. Perfect because we had enough time leftover to get up to Mt Roberts! I'm sure if we waited for the other Tracy's, that would have been our day in port. read more
