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.

My visit last year here was amazing, beyond reproach. As soon as got off ship this time made a…read morebeeline to relive that delightful experience and hate to say the light seems to have left..... very very sad. 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.

So we promptly got in line to wait as they were quite busy. Approximately 45 mins later, we were able to put in our food order at the front counter. We should have been given a 2.5% cash discount per their menu but weren't. Then, we had to find our own table to sit at. Even though it was drizzling a bit, we sat at an outside table because all of the interior tables were occupied. Luckily, the rain stopped shortly after we found a clean-ish table next to a heater. Wait staff brought our food to our table after a short wait. We ordered the #1 Combo Golden King Crab (14 oz) (which came with a small crab bisque, 4 mini crab cakes, garlic bread rolls, and butter), 1 lb of Red King Crab, Pulled Pork Sliders, and a glass of Alaskan Brewing Company Summer (Kolsch beer). While both types crab were tasty, I really couldn't decide whether one waa better than the other. The crab bisque was rich and flavorful; the rolls were soft and tender and went well with the bisque. The crab cakes were also good - nothing outstanding though. And, the glass of beer was super cold and very refreshing! I'm glad we tried Tracy's King Crab Shack despite it being a tourist spot and expensive. Tons of merchandise for sale were plastered all over their walls. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and food.

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.

I came to the Fairweather Dining Room inside Glacier Bay Lodge after completing the day tour boat…read moretrip throughout Glacier Bay National Park. 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 came here on our way back to Juneau from seeing the Mendenhall Glacier…read more I got the Texas size fish and chips. Hands down incredible halibut. 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. We got the pickles in the side - the person running the truck told us he makes the pickles. They were sooooo good. He also brought out a sample of the bbq chicken for us and it was very good. 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!

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. There are tourist traps, and then there's a tourist's paradise, and right here up in the harbor on Whittier Street is a lil' slice of heaven like you ain't never seen.

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!
