    We took our huge group to the Crab & Go today after a recommendation from one of the employees at the bus terminal. They called it; the food here was pretty dang good! Our group got the chowder, crab fries, crab legs, garlic bread, and halibut fish and chips. Gabby was our server and she crushed it for us having a huge group. Big props to the hostesses for getting us in with no wait too! The crab legs were HUGE and cooked very well. The claws are a bit more flaky and flavorful, and the legs are thick tubes of meaty goodness. The chowder was one of the best I had. It had a great, thick texture and was loaded. The fish and chips were the best according to those that ordered it and they consider themselves fish stick snobs. For those that don't eat seafood, I might recommend another place as the chicken tenders were the only real option and they were a miss. Other than that, Crab & Go all the way!

    Ketchikan was one of our port stops during our Alaska cruise and we had time before our Lumberjack Show so decided to try some AK Clam Chowder! Our server was Nikole and have to say...shout out to her for not only being efficient and answering questions but her overall love of the town, community, and restaurant were just so apparent. She made our lunch so much better! We decided to share a clam chowder bread bowl and glad we did because it was plenty for two people. Their chowder is thick and full of potatoes and clams with the best seasoning...overall just a great bowl of soup. And how do you go wrong with soup in a sourdough bread bowl! The bread was so good when soggy with soup! Great meal and great experience!

    100/10 - No Notes. Just kidding! But only the best notes. This fish and chips at Ketchikan Crab & Go was AMAZING. The fish was thick, just the right amount of flakey, and tasted like it was caught right before serving it to me. The beer batter was light and buttery, but not overpowering. It was like a match made in batter and fish heaven. I'm not exaggerating when I say this was the most delicious and perfectly cooked fish and chips I've ever had. And as a New England girl who grew up on seafood, that is saying SO MUCH. Oh and as a fry lover (and critic, you should see my Notes App ratings), the French fries also met my very high standards. The restaurant itself was PACKED (Ketchikan is a major cruise port) and I'm sure the wait was long but I lucked out and got a seat right away at the small bar. The service was exceptional and despite how busy it was, everyone was super friendly. I came home from my Alaskan cruise and could not stop talking about my meal here. If I ever make my way back to Alaska, I only hope Ketchikan is a stop on the itinerary. Oh be warned, nothing in Alaska was inexpensive but this was beyond worth it.

    If you're looking for king crab in Ketchikan, this is the place. Ketchikan Crab & Go served the best king crab we've ever had--and the biggest legs we've ever seen. The crab was incredibly fresh, sweet, and perfectly chilled. Every bite was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the difference when you're eating crab this fresh. The service was friendly, and the experience was simple and straightforward, letting the quality of the seafood speak for itself. We've had king crab in a lot of places over the years, and this easily tops the list. It's one of those meals we'll be talking about long after the trip. If you're visiting Ketchikan, don't miss it.

    Crazy prices back in 2024, they have to be a lot higher now!

    I'm not a big fan of the Crab and Go, but my hubby loves it. It's a small little crab restaurant located right on the water in charming Ketchikan. This is obviously set up for the height of tourist season, and the prices and menu reflect that. I am not sure if this restaurant is open for locals with more down to Earth prices, but be aware that you are going to drop some serious money to eat here. There's a crowded and loud indoor dining space as well as a small patio. Try to get on the patio (but watch out for the massive mosquitos in the summer)! Our last trip here was in early August and I squealed a few times when big yucky flying things landed on me while we were eating. We ordered the 2 pound crab leg ($184.95) and a Diet Coke ($4.00). Yes, you read those prices correctly. Soon after placing our order with the friendly server, we were brought a large cafeteria tray lined with red and white checked paper, two laughably small cups of butter, two puny lemon wedges, and two gigantic crab legs! When outstretched, they went from one shoulder to another. These things were massive! They were easy to clean, and we got a ton of crabmeat out of them. I was surprised how much meat came out, and it was a lot of food for the two of us to share. The menu is basic and, obviously, crab-heavy. This isn't the place for non-seafood lovers. They have a chicken tender basket for $20 or garlic bread for $5, but not much else for people who don't like seafood. The restaurant sells beer and wine and even has a sampler of Alaskan beer for around $20. Prices are high, even for a tourist destination in Alaska. Here are a sampling of the prices as of August 2024 (and I'm sure prices are even higher now): Clam Chowder: $15.95 Crab Fries: $24.95 Red King Crab Claw: $99.95 Fish and Chips: $32.95 Our total check with 8% tax but before tip was $207.77. For a crab leg and one diet soda! Was it worth it? Considering the taste of the crab and the restaurant's atmosphere (which is pretty low), nah. But considering the experience of noshing on giant crab legs in Alaska, I'd say you pay for the memory more than anything. Be sure to check your receipt, too. They can get a little "creative" with their math. The restaurant also charges a "service fee" that's separate for your tip. Of course always tip your server, but they ask for 25% tip, which seems excessive to me. I'm sure we will return to the Crab & Go next time we are in Ketchikan, and I'll still hold my breath when the check comes. This is an expensive place to eat for sure!

    Went here right after the Lumberjack show and I'm glad we did. Much better than my crab stop in Juneau yesterday. The crab here was noticeably bigger and tasted more fresh. We got The Captain with 2 king crab legs and a whole Dungeness crab, plus the clam chowder and halibut fish and chips. Price still isn't cheap, but if you're gonna splurge on crab in Ketchikan, I'd do it here over my last spot. Best part was definitely the king crab. Big pieces, easy to get to, and the Dungeness was solid too. Clam chowder was good and hit the spot. Halibut fish and chips were decent for sharing. Overall 5 out of 5 for this visit. Better quality, fresher crab, and a more worth it experience than yesterday.

    Quick service, nice waitress. yummy food. Just pricey, closes early and the bathroom is mad far away upstairs in the back lol. The ambiance is chill though for a quick bite

    Red Crab Leg.

    Don't miss out on the Ketchikan Crab & Go. With numerous options in Ketchikan's cruise-ship tourist hub, this place stands out for its top-quality offerings. The staff is exceptional--attentive and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the menu thoroughly. Order your meals as they arrive and follow your server's suggestions for the best experience. You won't be disappointed, and you'll be glad you chose this spot. The red crab leg was impressively larger than expected. The Dungeness crab was bursting with meat. The Alaskan halibut was fresh-caught and fried perfection.

    Crab melt
    Jill M.

    After our tour all I wanted was some halibut fish and chips and I'm so glad we got them at Crab & Go. They were cooked perfectly, not overly greasy. The clam chowder was very flavorful and the crab melt was delicious. Our service was very good too. We ate outside because it was a beautiful day. How lucky were we, a foursome from NY to be sitting in Ketchikan eating delicious food.

    Best spot in Ketchikan for a a first class crab lunch. We all enjoyed the Greenhorn, crab, chowder and garlic bread. We were urged to try the crab cold, must say that's the best texture. Crab served hot has to be cooked a second time. This place is very popular so come early or be prepared for a 20 minute wait. Pagers call you back when the table is ready, so you can shop the local stores in the mall while you wait.

    King crab legs were delicious! The staff is very helpful if its your first time cracking jumbo crab legs. Great place to try!

    King crab leg
    H C.

    We made several stops throughout Alaska and had king crab at a few places. Unfortunately, Ketchikan Crab & Go was by far the most disappointing. We had king crab at Tracy's in Juneau first, and the difference was night and day. At Tracy's, $140 got us a king crab leg, 8 crab cakes, 2 crab bisque, butter rolls, and a half lb of Dungeness crab. At Ketchikan Crab & Go, we paid the same $140 for one king crab leg and a half pound of Dungeness crab, (that didn't include the mandatory minimum 18% gratuity, bringing our total to $182). The crab at Ketchikan Crab & Go had a fishy smell (which the crab at Tracy's did not) and was watery, making it seem like it had been previously frozen. Not the quality we expect, especially for the price. To make matters worse, our waitress, Alexandria, had a poor attitude and wasn't helpful. I don't mind an automatic gratuity, but being required to leave at least 18% for service where the waitress couldn't even be bothered to be helpful was incredibly frustrating. If you're looking for king crab in Alaska and have the chance to go to Juneau, Tracy's is 1000% worth it. If you're in Ketchikan, I'd honestly recommend finding just about anywhere else.

    Greenhorn combo of king crab and fries
    Ali F.

    Food was delicious but it's definitely a tourist attraction. $$$$ for Alaskan king crab. We had the Greenhorn combo which came with a red king crab leg, clam chowder and a piece of garlic bread. The crab was the highlight as it was meaty and succulent and great with the melted butter. Our side order of fries was good. There are other menu options like fish and Dungeness crab if you don't want to eat king crab. Casual ambiance. The restaurant was busy but the wait for a table was short.

On a drizzly July day with several cruise ships docked, we waited over 30 minutes during the prime lunch hour to order our food, with the line far outside the door and onto the sidewalk. But the line moves fast and we found seats in the 2nd dining room (there's also outdoor seating weather permitting). The food came quickly, a little over 10 minutes after we ordered. My wife chose the Alaskan Sampler Fish & Chips, with one of each of the 3 fried fish options: Pacific Cod, local Silver Salmon and local Halibut. It also came with a generous portion of fries as well as a side of coleslaw. Of all the fish, the halibut was her favorite. She surprisingly enjoyed the coleslaw, as it was dressed with a house-made vinaigrette and wasn't sweet (like many other places use mayo and relish). There was malt vinegar and ketchup on the tables. My salad had a huge salmon filet covering it, with vinaigrette on the side. It was very filling, and I felt better about myself for choosing a healthier option at port after days of overeating on this cruise. We did order sodas with our meal. There is a self-serve soda fountain with free refills. There is also a small bar inside the dining room where you can order draft beer as well as wine and cocktails.
