While visiting from out of state we stopped into Gold Rush for breakfast. The interior is rustic and clean and the staff was very kind and accommodating. We each ordered veggie omelets which were tasty and substituted the English muffin for a homemade pancake. The pancake was very light and fluffy. Overall it was a good meal for a reasonable price. Just know, produce can be harder to get in AK so don't expect to be blown away by it during your stay. read more

We came in after a long day on the water. Both ordered the soup and grilled cheese. Really hit the spot! Our server was 3 days into the job, from Bulgaria, and was sweet as can be. Would come back anytime. read more

Seriously incredible chowder. Loved the fries. My mom had halibut tacos and they were incredible. My husband has the fish and chips and it was delicious. I had a burger and loved it. All was so good. We live in Anchorage and will definitely be back on our next trip to Seward. read more

My wife and I shared the Halibut Fish and Chips and the seafood chowder. I thought the fish was perfectly breaded and the fish inside was perfect. Chips had excellent flavor and my wife raved about the Seafood Chowder. read more

Delicious seafood chowder with a yummy grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Friendly and quick service. Just the type of place we love to stop in and grab a bite when on vacation. read more

Gold Rush Bistro - Seafood Near Me - Seward, Alaska

I know you're supposed to have the seafood when you're in Alaska, but the boy caught a 15 lb. king two days before, so we were salmoned out at that point. Meat was on our minds when we walked in. It was between this place and brewpub down the street for late lunch/early dinner. Very glad we chose this. Cute and rustic interior. Very comfortable. Seemed like your basic breakfast/lunch diner with an Alaska twist. Service was fine. As for the food: Damn good burgers! The wife and kids had a cheeseburger, northwestern burger, and mushroom burger respectively. Wife got the sweet potato fries, kids had the regular ones. The boy was still talking about how good the burger was 3 days later (I'm trying not to take that as an indictment of my camp cooking during the rest of the trip...) I had the Southwest Chicken Sandwich and onion rings. In a word, the sandwich was fantastic. Highly recommended. Large chicken breast ,very flavorful jalapeno aioli, wonderful bun. A bit sloppy, but worth every bite. I would have loved to have gone back for breakfast (I have a feeling it would be killer), but we had an early kayak trip booked the next morning. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area and tired of camp/RV cooking. read more

Delicious! We each got a different item so we could try more things and got the fish and chips, seafood chowder, halibut quesadilla and a burger and everything was delicious! Will definitely come back the next time we are in town. Would definitely recommend! read more

I sense from other reviews that this place is a solid choice for breakfast. But we came for dinner, and our meal was pricey and not worth it. We ordered fish n chips, halibut tacos, and one slice of cheesecake. No drinks. Bill was 60.00, not including tip for our funny and attentive waiter. Portion of fish n chips was plentiful, though fish was on the soggy side. Halibut tacos were fine, not awesome, but for the 25.00 price tag, I almost laughed out loud at the three minuscule chips of fish atop each taco; 2 oz of fish total, at most. I understand it's expensive in Alaska, but FISH? The one thing that they have tons of here and shouldn't need to overcharge for? You won't leave here starving, but there are better options in seward. read more

We came here for lunch. This place is really cute. It's got a bistro type atmosphere to it. Some really cute decor. My husband had the burger and fries. It was really tasty. It had a nice ciabatta roll and some really crispy fries. I had the salad and seafood chowder combo. The chowder was really good! Lots of seafood. The salad was ok. The dressing was more of a yogurt sauce. I would have preferred a vinegarette type. The portions were big for the price so that was great. Perfect lunch spot. read more

Food was good, the sweet potato fries were exceptional! The fish tacos were tasty! Service was a little slow, but our server was very nice. Only gave it three stars because they didn't seem concerned with sanitary safety. The tables were not disinfected between patrons. read more

Halibut avacado tacos were delicious. Atmosphere was nice a casual for lunch. Kids menu is expensive.

Really good restaurant! The fishes are fresh, service is superb, and it has a clean and appetizing environment. Highly recommend!

This place awesome!! Seafood chowder is the best I've had. Burgers were great and homemade. Halibut and chips was to die for. Place is super clean. Great service! Will definitely be back!! read more

We placed a to go order from here for our train journey back to Anchorage. Hubby got the salmon sandwich and I a bowl of clam chowder. Both the items were amazing. The soup was just perfect after a long day of sight seeing and Hubby said that this was the best sandwich he had in Alaska. The only part that could have been better is the bowl where the soup was packed. It was not properly sealed and some of it spilled. I know it is hard to pack liquid items but a larger bowl that is three quarters full would have done the job. Since the server warned me about it, I will not remove any stars. Highly recommended! read more

Very good chowder and bread, good burger & fries, great service. Nothing to complain about for a good little bistro.

Best meal I had during my weekend in Seward hands-down. The night before my friend and I cruised the main strip looking and looking for a place for dinner that had steak for her and fish and chips for me. We stopped by gold rush and looked at their menu and didn't see any prices next to the items which was off-putting. It was also summertime so they had prop the door open and there were a bunch of fruit flies flying around the menu so we weren't sure what that meant for the inside of the restaurant. So we skipped it and didn't think about it. When we were trying to plan for breakfast the next day someone told us that goldrush had a good breakfast. Seemed like it was the only other place in town besides the Breeze Inn which we had had the day before and weren't really that impressed. Well the Goldrush was a slamdunk I got the green machine omelette and my friend got the BLT sliders. We were both so impressed with our meals and I can still remember it to this day how tasty it was. The night before we were on a mission to find good desserts (we had dinner at the Apollo and were disappointed overall by the food and also by the lack of dessert options) and didn't found any that were satisfactory. we looked at the gold rush menu and realize that we made a mistake by passing up this restaurant the night before to look at the dessert options - - they had a chocolate torte cake and a triple berry pie. Both of which sounded amazing. Unfortunately since it was nine in the morning we didn't get dessert but are thinking that we need to make a little road trip back to Seward just to go back to the goldrush, eat their delicious food and indulge in their desserts. read more

I came here for lunch once before and it was okay, but my most recent trip for breakfast was unimpressive. There weren't a lot of people when my friend and I came in, but by the time we were ready to leave, it was crowded and it seemed there were only one or two servers the whole time. It was a good ten minutes just to cash out. Their breakfast offerings are very egg-heavy, which I guess is expected since it's you know, breakfast time. But the offerings were just.. differently-dressed up eggs. And some pancakes. Nothing really exciting. In my restauranting experience, there's generally always some sort of oatmeal, yogurt, burrito, and other stuff than just eggeggegg. I really hate eggs, so I ordered a side of potatoes ($5.00?!?!?!?!), a fruit cup ($4.50), an English muffin ($3), and coffee ($3). The potatoes were greasy and only half-cooked. Some pieces were soft enough to fork, but others were undercooked. The fruit cup (which also came on the side for my friend's meal) had different fruits like apples, but some were overripe and very bruised, making half the fruit inedible. The coffee was okay but burnt-tasting.. My friend commented her Benedict was "just okay" and that the eggs were way too runny. The only jelly packets offered were grape and mixed fruit, which is a travesty as there was no strawberry. We wished we had gone somewhere else for breakfast. read more

It's not the best place. The atmosphere was good, the food was alittle to a lot salty. However I will say that the chowder was AMAZING! But really, how do you make bacon salty? -_- read more

First of all, the food we are here was delicious. The establishment looked clean and was quite convenient in our quest for a low-key dining experience. I mean, I had a 4 year old with me so I was really just looking for a fast, color crayon friendly place with a good kids menu. They didn't disappoint. The menu looked like they covered all the bases though I only tried the clam chowder. My son had the grilled cheese. It was good, not great; about on par with eating at IHOP or Applebee's. Still, it's worth your time if you just need a quiet place to have a meal with a minimum of fuss. read more

We arrived in Seward early in the morning and needed somewhere to hangout, get some food and coffee before out cruise. Gold Rush doesn't look like much from the outside but inside it was very cute. The restaurant is decorated stylish. We loved the environment and all the signs on the wall. We tried the Salmon Benedict and Crab Quiche. Both were delicious. read more

Gold Rush Bistro - Salmon Benedict and Crab Quiche. Both delicious. - Seafood Near Me - Seward, Alaska

There was no wait here on sunday night when most other places has 30-45 min waits. Must be a well kept secret because the food was awesome! The place was clean and staff was great! Prices were slightly less than rays. We had halibut, king crab, grilled salmon and smoked salmon. Best halibut and salmon ever! read more

I am a little late in writing this as we tried to eat at Gold Rush about 2 weeks ago. I experienced the same lack of service as others have commented on in the reviews posted. At first I tried to give them the benifit of the doubt and waited patiently thinking maybe the waitstaff was just inexperienced and/or way laid back. As the minutes ticked away and they would not even make eye contact with me, my patience turned to frustration. It was apparent they did not want to serve me and had no intention of doing so. Especially after a local came in after my grpup and not only got his coffee, but ordered and was happily eating his breakfast while I sat there. Gold Rush, you should be ashamed to treat customers this way. I am so thankful I got up and left. If I hadn't I would have left Seward thinking all residents were so inconsiderate and rude. Luckily I had the pleasure of eating at a number of other establishments on my trip such as Sea Bean and Apollo. These places were awesome. Everyone else I met on my visit could not have been nicer. Unless you have all day to just sit around being ignored, I suggest you steer clear of Gold Rush. I certainly will on my next visit to the area. read more

Awesome halibut and chips! Nice, clean and good service too. What a nice surprise. Enjoyed it!!

Dined here on the Fourth of July and the waitress was very friendly and the food was delicious! I got the halibut salad and had never eaten halibut before, it was great!! My boyfriend got the crab quiche which was also tasty! I'd definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a decently priced, yummy & quick meal! read more

These guys rock! Only place in town for a GF bun burger. Hand patty, cooked just right. Salads great. Breakfast Bennies wonderful.

We had dinner there a few nights ago. The portions are huge and overall the food is really good. The seafood chowder was the best we've had in Alaska. And their berry pie was fantastic. read more

The food was amazing! Don't miss the Crab Quiche or the chowder. Service was friendly and food came out quickly.

Good food and attentive wait staff. The turkey melt & jalapeño burger were very good. I was expecting 'just ok' fries but they were so much better than that. read more

This place is small but fantastic. They serve the best salmon I've ever tasted, and the rest of my family loved this place too.

Quaint place in Seward. Chowder was good, halibut tacos are outstanding. Only thing missing is a glass of wine, no liquor license

We had their breakfast. The food and service was very good. The portion size was large (we shared a plate of pancakes) with a extra side of bacon. Coffee was hot and good. read more

Came here for lunch right off the cruise ship. I had seafood chowder and grilled ham sandwich. Hubby got cod fish and chips. Ran out of halibut. Chowder is real creamy and delicious. If you are on a cruise get there early. The ran out of halibut read more

Great customer service. Food was delicious & came out fairly quick. We had Alaska king crab & Alaskan halibut burger, both very GOOD! We will be coming back. read more

Delicious breakfast! Went there on Memorial Day and found that everyone else in town was there too! I asked 2 tour guides during our Seward stay where their favorite breakfast spot was and both pointed me to Goldrush! Green machine omelette was delicious. Hubby had biscuits and gravy, which I helped with and it was authentic and tasty too. Only thing that could make it better is if they had mimosas...cause that's how I roll at 9 am on vacay! read more

$25 for fish and chips that wasn't even properly battered. The burgers were extremely lackluster and clearly under done. Ended up paying $140 (including tip) for 5 meals that weren't even worth $40. Seemed like the waitress was very used to apologizing. read more

We had the berry pancakes and greens omelet and both were delicious! Service was pretty fast a good for what we've experienced so far in alaska. read more

We were pleasantly surprised by the menu when we walked into Gold Rush for breakfast. Several types of eggs Benedict and a crab quiche! Definitely not what we expected. We both got the bacon and egg sliders. So, so good! The coffee was also great and we had very fast and friendly service. Definitely the best breakfast spot in Seward. read more

The Corned Beef breakfast was made from scratch and very good, I would recommend this restaurant. The owners seem to take a lot of pride in great quality ingredients. Very friendly and decent prices for Seward. read more

This is a great lunch spot. My husband and I were arriving into town and starving and after much debate- finally ended up here. We both had burgers and fries. The fries are Parmesan crusted and delicious. The burgers were pretty good as well. Definitely worth a stop for lunch! read more

Wife loved the biscuits and gravy, the corned beef was legit. It's obvious some care goes into their food, everyone in my family was happy. Service was great too. Only tried breakfast, will have to come back and try lunch or dinner. read more
