Last month, we finally made it to Alaska for the first time, taking the cruise we had originally booked for June of 2020 (thanks, covid!). Unsurprisingly, though, when I checked back two years after I'd made a list of places I wanted to try on that trip, not everything on my original list was still there! Anyway, one of the places yelp told me had closed was called "Dockside Dogs", a little stall by the docks selling really inventive, high quality hot dogs out of a tent. So I made other plans - but the day of, those plans fell through (I'm really glad I got to try Firebrand's bbq the day previous - so fantastic I was extra looking forward to trying their breakfast burritos... until their smoker happened to need repairs the second day out of two we were in Seward and they closed unexpected!) So I figured I'd just walk downtown and see if there was anything I missed, and sure enough, as it turns out, Wild Spoon had *just* opened (when I was there, there were no yelp reviews yet!) - and "Dockside Dogs" was on their menu? Yep - the reason I mentioned Dockside Dogs specifically is: they got a proper cart, expanded their menu beyond only dogs, changed their name and moved downtown, but if you were looking for Dockside Dogs, here they are! I wasn't *super* hungry that day, so I just got one Seattle dog, for $10. Their dogs aren't enormous, so if you were particularly hungry, you'd probably want 2 - still, for Seward, that's quite reasonable, for dogs that, just to be clear, the couple other people in line with me were all raving about, and I totally see why. I'm also happy to say that, even though there were a couple people in front of me, and it *is* all being done out of a trailer, I had a sausage in my hand in just a few minutes. Anyway, it was a pretty fantastic sausage - meaty, juicy, smoky, plenty of perfectly-cooked onions - then, for $2 extra (the "basic" sausage is $8), a bunch of cream cheese. Was the cream cheese worth $2? Honestly, kinda yeah, cream cheese is a perfect sausage topping, and it went perfectly with the sausage and onions, it's a pretty perfect combo, and an extremely satisfying sandwich! I *would* want to try their other dogs if I were ever back in Seward, though, too. (I want to try the chowder, too! Too bad Seward is a jillion miles from California!) Only a couple minor complaints, mainly just due to the fact that they're a tiny operation right now - as far as cold drinks, they only have Izzes and bottled water, and they have literally one seat at one table. When I was there last month with no advance planning, that meant I took their one seat and drank an Izze, but if I were ever back in Seward, I'd come back here for sure, then get a drink somewhere else nearby, take them to a nearby park, Seward is covered in gorgeous parks to picnic a stone's throw away in all directions. (You can tell I miss being on vacation, probably.) read more

Went here last year and since we were only there overnight, I only had the Kimchee dog, it was so over the top delicious and the beets were so, so, so tasty. Staying here a week this year and I am really really looking forward to this place. In case you didn't know, the Goddess of Seward is at the window! read more

This was our favorite meal in our whole week in Alaska! We split three of the incredibly creative dogs. Each of us loved all three and each had a different flavor. Despite being game dogs, they had perfectly emulsified textures, high end stuff! The people working the cart were super nice, and we wished we had had time to go back and try the interesting sounding unique other items. Highly recommend planning dining around this places hours for a meal! read more

Went by on a whim and had the smoked cod chowder. It was amazing I would highly recommend it.

Amazing local food found in an alley between the shops. The chowder is amazing, lightly sweet with brown butter. We also had the kimchi reindeer hot dog and the Seattle dog - all local meat and ingredients. Worth a stop if you are looking for something yummy and quick! read more

Their chowder is the best thing I've had in a long time. If you love tarragon you'll love it!! Nice people too!

The most wonderful chunky, flavorful chowder that I've ever had! Like it came out of a home gourmet kitchen! This gal knows how to put a twist on an old staple that other restaurants just make standard! read more
