On a recent Alaskan cruise, this was our lunch spot during the Ketchikan port day. As it's located…read morein a very busy shopping district and next to the Lumberjack show, this is a popular spot. On a drizzly July day with several cruise ships docked, we waited over 30 minutes during the prime lunch hour to order our food, with the line far outside the door and onto the sidewalk. But the line moves fast and we found seats in the 2nd dining room (there's also outdoor seating weather permitting). The food came quickly, a little over 10 minutes after we ordered. My wife chose the Alaskan Sampler Fish & Chips, with one of each of the 3 fried fish options: Pacific Cod, local Silver Salmon and local Halibut. It also came with a generous portion of fries as well as a side of coleslaw. Of all the fish, the halibut was her favorite. She surprisingly enjoyed the coleslaw, as it was dressed with a house-made vinaigrette and wasn't sweet (like many other places use mayo and relish). There was malt vinegar and ketchup on the tables. My salad had a huge salmon filet covering it, with vinaigrette on the side. It was very filling, and I felt better about myself for choosing a healthier option at port after days of overeating on this cruise. We did order sodas with our meal. There is a self-serve soda fountain with free refills. There is also a small bar inside the dining room where you can order draft beer as well as wine and cocktails.

This is not bad but I don't think their fried fish is as good as their grilled/blackened fish…read morebecause of the oil. The place is located close to the pier so very convenient if you are coming from the cruise lines. The place is popular but they do have enough seating that although you may need to wait a bit you can eventually find seating. It's rustic and a fitting place for the kind of food they serve. The crab is ridiculously overpriced. The fish and chips is also expensive but at least you get to pick the fish between salmon, cod or halibut. The breading is slightly thick for my liking but my main problem has to do with the oil. I usually prefer fresher oil. The food is ok. I think the blackened salmon is probably the best bet for most of the items they offer such as the rice bowls or the tacos. You order first and then you get seating. They clean up quickly so if you wait for a table you don't have to wait long. Overall it's a food tourist spot that has overly expensive food but not bad enough to avoid. They have a patio and the interior is rustic fish house style.

This is a real coffee shop, maybe the only one in ketchikan. All the other coffee shops sell a lot…read moreof hot food so I consider them fake coffee shops. You have to walk a little into the heart of downtown but it's worth it and the crowds are smaller. The staff are super understanding and helpful, it's a family run small business, the demeanor of the property is very much coffee shop coded and is a great first stop. I recommend their white mocha and caramel mocha frappucino!

What struck my interest was the reindeer hot dog! What's cool about this place is you can order from any menu; breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The hot dog is yummy, but a little hard to eat because they cook it open faced, so I ate it with a fork and knife. My husband ordered the blueberry cakes, which were enormous! I'm not much of a pancake girl, but these were scrumptious and made with fresh blueberries. The portions are generous so some items are good to share. It has a classic, laid back diner feel, nothing fancy but very casual and relaxed. Their was only one waitress at the time, but she was friendly and fun and got our food to use quickly.
