    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!

    TIKI DAVE loves Beak Restaurant!…read more After researching restaurants in Sitka, Beak, by far, seemed to be the best in town. And it was my wife's birthday, so I wanted to pick the best for a lunch in town on our cruise stop. And well, she doesn't eat seafood, so she was left to order the Vegetable Barley Soup and the Mac & Cheese so she wasn't thrilled but I've got to say, those two non-fish items were amazing. It would be nice if they offered some other non-fish items. Still, the rest of our seafood eaters loved our dishes. SON OF TIKI DAVE and I shared the Blackened Lingcod Sandwich (with tomato, spinach, horseradish aioli, served on a stadium roll with kettle chips) for $24 as well as the Halibut Roll (Cooked in Butter with Shredded Cabbage, Celery on a Hot Dog Bun and served with Kettle Chips) for $23. The boy preferred the Blackened Lingcod Sandwich and I preferred the buttery Halibut Roll. Man, that Halibut Roll was so awesome! The girl had the Smoked Salmon Plate, served with House Crostini and Cheddar Cheese for $18 and man, that salmon was amazing. We took the leftovers of this and damn it, I left it when the wife and I hit for a Moose Fart afterwards at Ernie's Old Time Saloon (great shot but $10!). Obviously, prices are a little steep...because it's Alaska and well, cruises. But Beak delivers delicious food and the ambiance in an old house is wonderful. They serve local beer as well as wine. Service is refreshingly gratuity free, which is nice. Do know that service in Alaska can vary from great to 'we'll get to you when we want'. Service at Beak was kind of in the middle but that didn't detract from our experience at all. TIKI DAVE HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDS BEAK in Sitka Alaska. Oh! And how you get here...MAKE ABSOLUTE CERTAIN you download a map of Sitka before you step off the ship, if you do come from a ship because cellular service in town really sucks. We asked a tour operator where the restaurant was because we didn't know about the terrible cell service. The location is near the foot of the bridge on the west side of town. And when in Sitka, make sure you walk east to The Sitka National Historical Park, check out the great little free museum at its entrance, and make your way to the Indian River to see the salmon and possibly bears feeding. I will be uploading a video of our experience soon!

    This place is really well rated around town, so my friends were excited to come here for the salmon…read morechowder. I am not a huge seafood person, so I was relieved to see they had a few non-seafood options too. We did have to wait about 30 mins outside under their "portico" to get a table. Unfortunately, the only table available was outside, and it was COLD. A few outdoor heaters would make a huge difference. I kept wondering why they didn't have any! - It is ALASKA after all... My friends all ordered the salmon chowder and said it was good, although they wished it had been hotter, especially since we were all sitting outside trying not to freeze. They also thought it could have used a little more flavor, but overall they liked it. I went with the mac and cheese, which was made with bowtie pasta. An unusual choice for mac and cheese, but it worked. It was nothing spectacular, but it was hot, cheesy and comforting, so on a chilly day, that was a big win for me. Service was fast and very friendly, which definitely helped. They also have a small but really cool gift shop, so be sure to take a look before you leave. Overall, a solid stop. I just wish they would add some heaters for those chilly outdoor tables!
