    Great fro Cruisers! Nice walk or take the shuttle.

    FRESH CRAB!!!! Great fresh local crab that they harvested themselves. The best Dungeness crab in the world comes from this bay. Not fancy but run by a super cool couple. Try her Thai dipping sauce.

    Stopped in Hoonah from the Royal Caribbean cruise. The ship and tripadvisor recommended this generic seafood restaurant to all the tourist. Instead we walked into town to ask the locals where the best crab was and they all recommended this newly opened crab shack. The Beach House is owned and operated by a couple. The husband is a fisherman and catches all the crabs you eat. The wife is the loveliest host and makes the best Thai Ice Tea. We each had a dungeoness crab. They were huge and the most delicious crab I've ever had! Ask for the Thai dipping sauce but even if you eat it without, it tasted like the ocean. Come to the Beach House which is only a short walk from downtown where the bus drops off. You won't regret it!

    If you only have one meal in Alaska, this would be it. I live in Boston, frequently visit Asia, and have some great access to seafood. This crab was the best crab I've ever eaten. The meat was sweet, juicy, didn't stick to the shell, and just simply outstanding. My friends and I thought the natural flavor on the meat on its own was amazing. However, it is offered with melted butter and a spicy Thai sauce. The owners' story is remarkable. Srisa and her husband, Todd, met in university in Oregon. Her husband is the fisherman that first fishes for chum salmon to use as bait, and then goes crabbing in Port Frederick. They have only been open for ten days, but I have no doubt that this will be a successful venture for them. I love supporting local, and this is as authentic as it gets. Asian people, you already know this. For those brave enough: Ask for the crab head and eat everything. The best meat is in the head! Bonus: Srisa is from Thailand, extremely friendly, and makes the world's best Thai iced tea. I was so happy at how delicious it was. For cruise goers, purchase the $5 round trip shuttle (5minutes one way) and then walk 5 minutes to this restaurant.

    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.

Just like everyone else, we came here after the cruise docked, we were amount the first one to get off the ship and were able to get here right the way without much wait. As we sitting down for our food the line grew much longer. There is also a second location that has less wait. We ordered the Red King Crab that's feeds 6-8 people, if you like crab it will feed like 4 lol, the crab tasted sweet and fresh. Also bisque tasted amazing. But this place is expensive, we paid almost $800 for it. Is it worth it? I will say if you are the first time in Alaska you should try it. Will I do it again? Yes if we have the budget to, but I will ordered the small amount and other things. We have a large group that is why is so much more expensive. I have a great experience at this restaurant, the service from the staff is excellent and they really know what they are doing. If you have the budget to come here, try it, it is once in a lifetime experience.

The best part is probably the service, which was excellent. I had one really fair weather day with a view of the distant Fairweather Range, but even on drizzly days the bay view is lovely.

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.

It was not overly battered and perfectly fried. It was so fresh. The sidewinder fries were awesome! The Drive Through burger was delicious and the fries were also yummy.

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!

You do have to walk about 15 minutes, but the dining room by the water really is the best spot. As we head to the tented dining room, a bald eagle swoops across the sky and lands on a post in the pier. While this is regarded as the best king crab in Alaska, eating king crab in Juneau is actually insanely expensive. Well if you have come all this way, when in Rome? You can order the king crab legs per leg or in a combo that also includes 4 mini crab cakes, a cup of crab bisque, and rolls. If you have a group, get a bucket of crab legs. They offer both red king crabs and golden king crabs. Go with the red and don't bother with the golden. The red king crabs have more meat and have a sweeter flavor. (Also, if you bring cash, you can avoid the 3% credit card fee.) We get a couple combos including crab chowder, crab cakes, drinks, and red king crab legs, plus legs for the rest of the group. They give you a crab cracking tool. There are a couple prongs on top for holding the top of the shell in place and a sharp edge for ripping the shell open from the bottom. Watch out for the sharp pointy spikes of the shell, so tread carefully. You sort of rock the cracker up and down in a straight line lengthwise until the entire cylinder of crab is free. There are three main pieces. The biggest leg segment has the sweetest and firmest crab meat. The smaller leg segment is more tender and even juicier. The body segment has a big bundle of flaky flesh. I can't remember if I've ever had a red king crab leg all to myself, so this is definitely the most and best king crab I've ever had.

We went to their location not at the pier thinking it would be less crowded, which it was but the line is still about 2 people deep, but they move you through ordering quickly. You grab a spot at the picnic table and someone brings you the bucket you ordered. The crab was so delicious and a great size, loaded with meat. The shells were easy to get through with their little tool (I called it the can opener) which you use to split the shells. We had a great time and the crab was amazing!
