To us, this was the best meal of our entire cruise to Alaska, including the ones on the ship! This lovely establishment is run by a lively couple - Todd and Srisa. Todd is the fisherman who goes out to catch your crab just an hour or two in advance of your meal. Together, they prepare a wonderful meal of steamed Dungeness Crab that is the freshest ever, accompanied by servings of Thai Fried Rice for everyone in your party. Mix the chunks of crab into the rice and voila' - The best crab fried rice I've ever tasted! Both of them cook and together they come out to present each course. The dessert is a delicious homemade berry cobbler made from wild berries that Sri handpicked herself. Just WOW. C A L L A H E A D ! ! ! Their usual mode of operation seems to serve private small tour groups, but my advice is to call ahead of time to reserve your table (ideally before you board your cruise) and tell them which day you are coming into Icy Point Strait. They'll definitely save a table for you if you give them a heads-up! D I R E C T I O N S : If your cruise ship itinerary says "Icy Point Strait" as a stopover, take the little shuttle bus on the far side of the visitors center for $5 each. Or.. just walk the 1.2 miles over to the nearby town of Hoonah. Hoonah is a tiny little village filled with fishing boats and a minimum of touristy kitsch. HBH is on your way into town. The shuttle bus passes HBH on the way in, and drops you off in front of the harbor marina. Set your sights a couple of blocks back along the shoreline from the harbor and you'll find Hoonah Beach House (HBH). We would love to dine here again!

Highly recommend if you're exploring Hoonah! It's a $10 shuttle ride or 1.5 mile walk…read more Came here for a port call and this place was the highlight! We opted in for the $10 shuttle to downtown Hoonah and it stopped right infront of this place. The staff was very friendly and recommended the burrito, which my husband got. He said the burrito was delicious. I got the Right On- omg amazing but portion size for 2. Love the gravy and the biscuit! Perfect savory goodness I wanted. We also got 2 coffees that were great and we continued to drink them as we explored the jetty. The layout was perfect; we opted in to sit inside but they also have seats outside.

They might deserve only 3 stars this trip, last trip was a very solid five. Gave them extra star due only to being locally owned. For the food, it definitely went downhill. Last time biscuits were more flavorful and the gravy was delectable and full of many flavors. This time it's slightly better than the canned country gravy. The eggs, while can tell they are eggs, are extremely dry and overcooked. One of the ladies that helped me seemed to have a wedgie, very tight mannered, kinda pleasant but not at all. The other one who helped me was vice. Still enjoy the location overlooking the dock with some mountains in the background. Don't know what happened but hope they improve to last years level. Really sad, really truly sad. Couldn't even finish the whole plate. Maybe I'll be back if bored bit ship has better food this year. Which is also sad. Edit: Wish could remove the tip, not at all satisfied with service.

The view is great from their outside seating area. We ordered the halibut and chips, reindeer chili, and the chicken sandwich. All of the food was tasty and arrived fresh and hot. The halibut was firm, and very clean and fresh, and their fries are tasty as well. The reindeer chili honestly tastes just like beef chili to us, but was still good. My husband's chicken sandwich was good and had a yummy sauce on it that he liked. This is a good option while in Icy Straight Point, especially if you are with people that do not eat seafood.

Although I wasn't a guest at the Glacier Bay Lodge, it was actually my AirB&B Host who suggested I make a reservation for dinner first thing in the morning when I arrived at the lodge. And...btw, Glacier Bay Lodge is the departure point for boat trips out on the waters of Glacier Bay. The dock area is located right in the rear of the lodge. I was fortunate enough to grab a 6:15pm reservation, though this was for one of the last weekends of the tourism season, at the end of August. Also, one more thing, lol...to explore Glacier National Park...by boat is the only way it can be navigated. The National Park Services in conjunction with the Glacier Bay Lodge offers one, 8 hour excursion from 8am - 4pm every day throughout the summer season. The website for boat tours is: https://www.visitglacierbay.com/tours/glacier-bay-day-tour/ So, it just efficiently made sense to have dinner here at the Fairweather Dining Room after finishing seeing Glacier Bay. I would also recommend to others out there to take the day boat tour and come here for dinner. Almost everyone on my tour was a familiar face eating inside the dining room afterwards. Another thing, lol, if you're not staying at Glacier Bay Lodge...then there's not many options to eat in the remote town of Gustavus. After dinner, my AirB&B Host was kind enough to pick me up at the lodge and drive me back to my cabin. Some details about this Fairweather Dining Room... - It had a cozy and rustic feel to it. There was a fireplace right nearby within the lodge. - The menu is limited to just a few options including salmon, halibut and fish and chips. There was also ribeye steak and a chicken dish. But, of course, when here on the Glacier Bay waters of the Inside Passage of Alaska...how can you not have seafood? I chose the halibut. According to the menu... "Baked Alaskan Halibut with lemon herb compound-butter, red-skinned garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed carrots and asparagus". As usual, it didn't eat heavy so I had room for dessert...a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream, drizzled caramel syrup and whipped cream (which wasn't even on the menu, but suggested by my server). Lastly, I had a decent view of the boating dock pier though the whole day was dampened by cloudy, foggy and tough conditions outside. Overall, eating here at the Fairweather Dining Room was still a rewarding way to end my visit to Glacier Bay National Park. I really liked the food, service and charming setting.

We sat at the table outside and ate the food and it was great! I will absolutely be back here the next time I am in Juneau. This place is a must-try!

While this isn't my favorite (try Sandbar), the fish is fresh and it's pretty hard to complain. Another win for fish and chips in the area. The shape of the potatoes is a bit weird looking, but surprisingly it works and they were nice and crispy. I did think the fish batter was a tad doughy on the inside, and yet a little overcooked on the outside. Not the end of the world though, and I still enjoyed it. We did stop by during the week for lunch and the truck was closed, which was a bit annoying. One of the brewery employees said this place doesn't always open reliably, for various reasons. Just something to be aware of. Better luck on the weekends. Overall it's a nice spot right next to the Alaskan Brewing Company, which has lots of great beers and a nice patio spot out back to eat your fish, have a beer, and hang out with your dog. Yum!

Next to deckhand Dave's is a crepe place, oysters and champagne, and a beer boat. Yes, this place is magical. The attendant was so sweet and friendly, she walked us through the menu which ultimately lead us to pick the sampler. We are so glad we did.

Cause good golly, wow the first few bites of the crab bisque were insanely delicious!! Probably the best I've ever had. One bite and my eyes were wiiide open like I'd seen a ghost... You know when they say, "save the best for last"? This crab bisque was exactly that. It was so rich and creamy, really incredible. If money wasn't a thang, I'd serve this to every single one of my guests at my wedding (if I ever got married.) I only had a few bites of this bisque cause I knew it was too good and I had two make every bite count so I moved onto the sliders. And the sliders were cutely arranged. They had the perfect amount of spice. The large picks were perfect to keep the sliders in tack. If I had to choose being a slider girl versus breaking up a crab open. This is the way to go. I'm not breaking the bank and I'm enjoying my meal just as much. And I'm not making a mess of myself. But don't let me stray you from getting the whole crab if you're looking for a lot of meat in your mouth. Honestly, I don't know how people do that 'all you can eat' thang on Thursdays because the sliders and crab bisque was more than enough food for me. But if you're looking for a good mixture of coleslaw, spicy sauce, crab n' crabcake then this IS the right choice. Now, if you're a messy eater like me, you'll probably have a lil' bit slipping out of your sliders, but that's fine! This is when you grab yourself a fork and then you got yourself a lil' crabcake coleslaw salad afterwards. Now let's talk about the view, well hot dang! It's like something out of the travel channel! Hello National Geographic, you have a beautifulll view of the water with the mountains in the background.

We ended up tasting the Red King Crab, the Gold King Crab, the Snow Crab, the "limited special" shelled seafood cup, the lobster bisque, the crab cakes, the rolls, the fries, and the queso. We also had the iced tea cocktail. I personally prefer Snow Crab and it did not disappoint The Iced tea cocktail was also really good. While it is not my preference the Red King Crab leg was also outstanding. Had these been my only items, I would have given the review 5 stars. The lobster bisque, queso, fries and rolls were good if you are in the mood for those items specifically. The seafood cup, which you would think came from the same crabs, was disappointing. It was dry and required the cocktail sauce and lemon. The photograph made it look like there were big chunks, but it was pretty much shredded. I asked the older lady cashier about it when we first ordered the crab legs and then ordered this in our second round. I feel she could have given a little more infirmation about it. Either way, I would not order that or the crab cakes again. If I am even in Juneau again, I'd definitely save my money up fir a stop here!
