This hotel was by far the worst place that we had stayed on our trip to alaska out of all seven locations. You check in at the restaurant.Although we had to go into the bar to find somebody to check us in and get us a key to the room. The guy was really nice.That checked us in and the price was right. Unfortunately, that was where the good things ended did. The place is clearly very dated, which is totally fine. There are random holes all along the wall, where it looks like other things used to be. Our friends were staying in the room next to us and their carpet was absolutely disgusting. Thankfully, we had some sort of vinyl on our floors. So that it wasn't that bad. Her bedding had multiple tears in it. Nothing in the room matched from the towels to the sheets. When we pulled back the sheets of the bed, there were little specks of what looked like dirt all along the bed, and it appeared that the sheets had not been cleaned. Thankfully, we had each brought a blanket.So we were able to use that to sleep with. It really, truly did feel dirty though sleeping in that bed. We only had two towels in our room for 4 people, so my husband went and asked for another. The only thing that they could give him was an extra hand towel. When I turned on the shower, the way that the shower head was facing the water, just completely shot right out of the shower stall leaving water all over the floor and no good towels to clean it up.

We used to come here years ago, for pie. Their blueberry was amazing. They used to have different…read moresalt and pepper pots on each table. Then some new owners took over, and i was served limp and floppy fries and we didn't go back. Although of course I appreciate they may have had teething problems, as new owners, and that we'd go back at a later date. And we did return today. Our server was friendly, and helpful, brought us coffee, in sturdy Sunrise Inn mugs, and took our order (Crispy Chicken wrap and fries for me, Chili in Bread bowl for him) The atmosphere was warm and friendly, with quite a few diners in, chatting to the server. Guys, the Crispy Chicken Wrap brought to me, was simply outstanding. Perfect in every way. Great mix of crunchy vegetables, cheese, and creamy ranch, i cannot praise it enough. It's the best I've personally tasted, in, well, ever really. And the fries have redeemed themselves 1000%. Super crisp, and soft inside, beautifully seasoned. I am so happy that Sunrise Inn is THIS good. I'll be driving back down just to have this again, and think nothing of the drive. Blake really enjoyed his Chili Bread Bowl too. Seriously, if i can get food this good i don't really care about the cost, or the length of the drive to get to it. But yes of course it would be more convenient if it were in Anchorage, but the drive is half the fun. Also the staff - the server was great, very friendly, and the chef brought out our meals to us, and he had these pants on featuring fish. Very alluring, and I told him so. We'll be back sooner rather than later

Last month, we finally made it to Alaska for the first time, taking the cruise we had originally…read morebooked for June of 2020 (thanks, covid!). Unsurprisingly, though, when I checked back two years after I'd made a list of places I wanted to try on that trip, not everything on my original list was still there! Anyway, one of the places yelp told me had closed was called "Dockside Dogs", a little stall by the docks selling really inventive, high quality hot dogs out of a tent. So I made other plans - but the day of, those plans fell through (I'm really glad I got to try Firebrand's bbq the day previous - so fantastic I was extra looking forward to trying their breakfast burritos... until their smoker happened to need repairs the second day out of two we were in Seward and they closed unexpected!) So I figured I'd just walk downtown and see if there was anything I missed, and sure enough, as it turns out, Wild Spoon had *just* opened (when I was there, there were no yelp reviews yet!) - and "Dockside Dogs" was on their menu? Yep - the reason I mentioned Dockside Dogs specifically is: they got a proper cart, expanded their menu beyond only dogs, changed their name and moved downtown, but if you were looking for Dockside Dogs, here they are! I wasn't *super* hungry that day, so I just got one Seattle dog, for $10. Their dogs aren't enormous, so if you were particularly hungry, you'd probably want 2 - still, for Seward, that's quite reasonable, for dogs that, just to be clear, the couple other people in line with me were all raving about, and I totally see why. I'm also happy to say that, even though there were a couple people in front of me, and it *is* all being done out of a trailer, I had a sausage in my hand in just a few minutes. Anyway, it was a pretty fantastic sausage - meaty, juicy, smoky, plenty of perfectly-cooked onions - then, for $2 extra (the "basic" sausage is $8), a bunch of cream cheese. Was the cream cheese worth $2? Honestly, kinda yeah, cream cheese is a perfect sausage topping, and it went perfectly with the sausage and onions, it's a pretty perfect combo, and an extremely satisfying sandwich! I *would* want to try their other dogs if I were ever back in Seward, though, too. (I want to try the chowder, too! Too bad Seward is a jillion miles from California!) Only a couple minor complaints, mainly just due to the fact that they're a tiny operation right now - as far as cold drinks, they only have Izzes and bottled water, and they have literally one seat at one table. When I was there last month with no advance planning, that meant I took their one seat and drank an Izze, but if I were ever back in Seward, I'd come back here for sure, then get a drink somewhere else nearby, take them to a nearby park, Seward is covered in gorgeous parks to picnic a stone's throw away in all directions. (You can tell I miss being on vacation, probably.)

You can smell the BBQ as you walk up. The seating is picnic tables in an outdoor setting. It makes you feel like you are eating a BBQ meal in someone's backyard. You just walk up to the order counter and pick up your food when it is ready and grab a seat. A couple from Texas started Firebrand BBQ when they moved to Seward. It was nice to find some Texas-style BBQ in this little town. The menu has a number of smoke meats like brisket, pulled pork, sausage, turkey and pork belly. Sides are the usual sides that go with BBQ like potato salad and cole slaw. I got the Sandwich Combo with Brisket and Cole Slaw for lunch. I loved my meal and enjoyed my time here with my buddies. Firebrand BBQ has some specialty items like Frito Pie and Loaded BBQ Potato on thier menu. They also serve breakfast before 11am. You can pick up a bottle of their BBQ sauce at the order counter.

The bartenders were really friendly, and the food came out quickly and smoothly. The interior is also super cute, kind of an old-school lounge vibe with lots of velvet. There's a neon sign that says "city where the fun shines," which adds to the fun atmosphere. Such a great dinner spot in Seward.

First, the place looks like1985 retired inside in a good way. The bar in lined in plush red fabric and the photos, decor and chairs all are retro to the max but what did the food taste like?

The burger was kinda charred I guess but still good, the server never asked how I wanted it cooked so that was a HUGE minus, but it wasn't bad just not great, the flavor was good, the veggies were fresh, just not great! The potatoes were the star of the show! They were perfectly seasoned and the creme and bacon sauce was MONEY!! They literally melt in your mouth and were roasted perfectly without being mushy. The service was good, the vibe was super chill. The place is kinda pricey for what you get but that is everything in this little town. I will be back to try some other things eventually.
