Halibut fish and chips
Pete G.

This is a delightful place to stop for a meal while in Seldovia. The restaurant is named for the owner's grandchildren and there is a real family feel to the place. I had the halibut Fish and Chips and it was really excellent. The fish was perfectly cooked and the breading was crispy and nicely seasoned (just a touch of garlic and parsley really made it sing). They've got great homemade tarter sauce and also provide malt vinegar. I had some freshly made iced tea as well. There's indoor seating and seating out on a spacious deck with a view of the water.

We stopped by for breakfast. Got the traditional breakfast and the kids got the chicken fried steak and French toast. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The view is amazing. Service was great.

I just love these.. sentimental and meaningful.

The setting is ten stars. Halibut cove. Sitting on a pier tucked next…read moreTo a rock outcropping. I've been to many places and this one is special in terms of scenery and ambiance. The tourists are here so are the locals. The food is four stars. We had the halibut, smoke salmon dip and salmon. Some were a little over done but the presentation was solid. Drinks are good. Don't come here thinking the service is going to be off the chart. They get waves of groups in and things slow down. Discount the reviews that expect perfection. Enjoy the setting, have a cocktail and talk to the servers who are from the area and appreciate having a local restaurant that is accessible to all. Things slow down when you are here and that is the point!!

This place is a fabulous experience when visiting Halibut Cove. We went on a beautiful sunny day…read moreand enjoyed sitting out on the deck. There was a fire going under the portico which would be nice to be near on a rainy day. The prices are actually quite reasonable for being across the bay! I ordered the shrimp and grits for $28. The portion in my opinion was small, but out of the few shrimps I had they had a great flavor and good creamy grits! Be aware eating here will take up a good chunk of your time in Halibut Cove if you came on the Danny J. We were sat at 1:10 and finished at 2:25 and we were one of the first tables done. I would recommend this place for locals to take tourists out for day across the bay any day!

Trivia for out of towners: What's the mascot of the high school just a few minutes away? What…read moreiconic Alaskan building material makes up the front of their high school? Sooooo....It's okay. Chips and salsa are NOT complimentary. A basket of chips and two bowls of salsa wasn't terribly expensive at 4.50. But hot salsa wasn't available when we went. So they gave us two milds. The salsa tasted a little weird. I couldn't tell if an ingredient was missing or if there was some other funky aspect. Either way, I didn't eat many chips (which made the paying for it seem a little more frustrating). The queso appetizer was delicious. Great serving size and great flavor. Everyone at the table agreed and there wasn't any left at the end. Beer selection included a couple local craft beers and plenty of bottles. I was very happy with the Pacifico and lime I received. Service was friendly. So we're the couple on a date at the table next to us. They recommended food and drinks and told us all about places to visit in town. Apparently there are meaderys (meaderies?)open on town. Cool news! Overall, I was largely underwhelmed by the food and slightly chagrined by the chips and salsa cost.

Further on down the road I was attacked by a crow 4 times and I'm sure all you people driving by Safeway that saw that had a good laugh. (I'm laughing now but I wasn't then) Then I called a Taxi and yes someone stole my taxi. Finally got home and took my truck to Don Jose's for Taco Tuesday (5 tacos 10 bucks) yum! Owners bought me a nice shot of tequila! So nice!
