There was a bit of a wait, but we grabbed a beer and relaxed while waiting for tables to clear. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive, and I really appreciated the decor throughout the restaurant. As a gal originally from Cape Cod, I especially loved the nautical theme! Of course, I ordered the fish and chips, and it came out hot, fresh, and delicious. The batter was a little crispier than I'm used to, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the flaky, white fish. The guys in our group enjoyed their meals as well. The ladies' room was clean, which is always appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend this spot if you don't mind a bit of a wait. For us, it was absolutely worth it. I also want to mention that we were visiting on a cruise ship, and this restaurant was a very convenient walk to and from the port. If you're in town for the day, it's an easy and worthwhile stop!

We were promptly seated. Several customers were there so place appeared busy. We were on a time crunch so ordered the crab cakes and king crab legs. Both items came out in reasonable time. The $21 crab cakes were not great and had significant breading (2/5 stars). The $119 two piece king crab served with clarified butter was excellent and tasty (5/5 stars). They give you the appropriate utensils and pickers to cut the claws open. Overall good experience but wish I could've tried more items in the menu. Would return when I'm in the area!

Most people find themselves in Skagway via cruise ship. If you find yourself in this situation and…read moreare wanting a sweet snack, disembark the boat with the first group and hightail it to the corner of Broadway and 3rd Avenue. Don't stop at any of the many souvenir shops or jewelry stores. The priority will be getting to Klondike Doughboy first, since this will be the longest line you will see all day. Even if you meander through town, don't worry: the line goes quick. Once inside the door, queue up to the left side of the store, order at the counter, then pick up your fresh doughboy to the right side of the store. There are also various other gifts and merch available, as well as shaved ice during any warm days, but the star of the show is the fried doughboy. On my initial stop around 10 AM, the line was quite long. My wife went to get drinks at the coffee shop next door while I waited for the doughboy. When I got to the front, I order one to share with my wife, promptly got took it outside, but my wife was still waiting for our drinks. I sat down on the sidewalk (there are only a few benches outside) and quickly ate my half of the doughboy while it was still hot. I easily could have devoured the entire thing, but I was a good husband and saved half for my better half, who eventually came out with our hot drinks. We stayed in Skagway for the entire day, going on a long hike to the Lower Reid Falls (about a 5 mile trek round trip), getting a late lunch in town, then the requisite tourist shopping. But before we got back on our cruise ship, we made one last stop around 5 PM. By that time, most of the tourists got back on their respective boats, so the line was very short. This time, we got our own doughboys (no sharing). I would have gone back for a 3rd trip if they were open late (they closed at 6 PM), though I would risk being left behind. It would have been worth it!

It's tasty and is one of those things you have to try if you're in the area. It's $8 and is a little bit more priced than what it may be but it's definitely worth it to get it.

Update from my last review a year ago. Still tasty and meaty king crab, but prices have gone up…read more Not any more expensive than the other crab places in town though. I like the set up of this place with their outdoor eating area. They also have two good sized and clean restrooms for customers. The staff here is very friendly and easy going.

We weren't there for a typical meal, we did a culinary and Alaskan gardening class. These two things happen to be my all time favorite pass times. I learned so much from nearly every staff member I came into contact with. Their pastry chef taught us so much about bread making and the science behind it and was incredibly knowledgeable. The in house gardener (yes they have one of those!) grows ingredients on site to help supplement food costs and she taught us so much about how climate impacts the plants she grows. (Their rhubarb was gigantic) everything we ate was off the charts amazing! If I had to give a negative comment it would be that the manager seemed inconvenienced by the guests and made sure to tell us that we were keeping him from his busy day, but to be fair he said he isn't usually the one who gives guest presentations so I have to give him props for doing it even when he clearly had other things to do. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE if you find yourself in Skagway, but get there early because space is limited. 11/10 Great job!!!

The crab was good, but not ohmygod good (honestly I have crab shipped to my house from Alaska that was better). The fries were awesome! And I'm not a fry person.
