    Delicious treat. $8.00 a piece. Always packed; always a line outside. The wait isnt as bad as it looks because there are two people frying, one cashier, and one doing the sugar. Is the price too much? Yes. BUT it's good to support local.

    My family and I stopped here while in Skagway on an Alaskan cruise and I would highly recommend! The fry bread is delicious and freshly made right in front of you. The employees were also very friendly. There's a reason this place is so popular!!

    Not sure what possessed me to buy fried dough but I smelled it from blocks away. It's made fresh and sprinkled with sugar. It's highly addicting and delicious. 10/10 would recommend.

    Worth the wait! The fry bread was delicious. If you're in the area give the Fry Bread a try!!!

    I've had Fry Bread before but one that was plain and served with beans. This was more of a dessert, closer to funnel cake flavor. The edges were crisp and it is big enough to be shared among 2 adults

    I wish they had different flavor toppings besides sugar. Nothing spectacular, but it was good.

    OMG! This is the best spot in Skagway!! Fresh Fry Bread, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. YUM! There's always a line out the door. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's off the main street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is a must try!

    Yes, please!! Stop by to get your fry bread in Skagway!!! The line was long so that should tell you how good it is! They got everybody through pretty fast and had a great system! Yes, it's like an elephant ear you'd get at the fair only it was much better!!!! Definitely worth it!!!!

    Crispy, fresh hot cinnamon sugar fried dough. Win win! Service was quick as they know why people are coming to the store. Before you finish with all the credit card prompts, your doughboy is always on a paper plate to be handed to you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store looks clean and inviting on the cold rainy day that we visited the town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Walked out with some huckberry gummy bears and torn into this doughboy like he was my boyfriend.

    Fresh bread, worth the long lines. Grab a coffee or hot chocolate from next door, and enjoy this sweet and flavorful treat while it's hot. I had 2 and I don't even have a sweet tooth. Service is prompt and fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's barely any space indoors so you'll likely have to eat while standing outdoors (like all the other tourists), but the mountain views are great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    A Must-Try Treat in Skagway We were intrigued by Klondike Doughboy from the moment we arrived in Skagway. This little storefront always had a crowd--people waiting outside, others happily munching on what looked like deep-fried heaven dusted in sugar and cinnamon. After walking by several times, we finally gave in. And we're glad we did. The Alaskan fry bread was everything it promised to be--crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and generously coated in that classic cinnamon-sugar mix. Simple? Yes. But absolutely satisfying. It felt like a cross between comfort food and something you'd find at a state fair, in the best possible way. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What made the experience even more fun was standing out front, enjoying the warm doughboy while watching the ever-hopeful ravens waiting for a dropped bite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's just something about this place--the food, the energy, the setting--that makes it feel special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't miss this spot if you're in Skagway.

    On our visit to Skagway, we wondered why there was a huge line out the door to this place. A place serving frybread? We're in! They crank out the frybread so swiftly that even with a line out the door, everything moves quickly and we were in and out within ten minutes. Doughboy ($8) - This is a huge piece of fried dough, easily larger than my face. It's an interesting decision to have a thicker diameter, probably 3/4 inch thick, and a much thinner interior. It's almost like pizza in construction. This makes it so that the crustier portions are soft and chewy while the inner area is crisped up to perfection. An uneven fry is expected, but I feel as a whole, the frybread might be a bit underfried. The crust area, in particular, is soft and chewy without any crispness and has an almost raw flour-like taste to it. At least the entire thing is dusted with cinnamon and sugar to make it a sweet treat! (4/5) This frybread has some weaknesses, but hey, even a weak frybread is a good frybread. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a reason this place always has a line when the cruise ships are docked![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The Alaskan fry bread was perfect. Warm, sugary and just a hint of cinnamon.  Made me think of an elephant ear and brought back nostalgia.

    Just as soft, pillowy and hot as promised. Get there early or be prepared to wait in line, it's worth it!

    The fry bread is both soft and crunchy, depending on where you bite, but both textures are enjoyable.

    Beware of waiters that don't seem to enjoy their job. Wait time is long and food was ok but not…read moresure it is worth the wait.

    During a recent Alaskan cruise, I came here for lunch with my wife & 2 friends after a long morning…read morehike. It was a little after 1 and there were several cruise ships docked, so the lobby was quite full. When I walked up to the podium, the host explained our options: go to the pub for drinks and a limited menu, or wait 15-30 minutes for a table upstairs with the full menu. We weren't in a hurry and wanted all the options, so we decided to wait for a table. It was about 20 minutes before the host called us. After being seated and checking out the menu, I chose a mug of the house-brewed root beer along with a Alaskan Sandwich, subbing the fries for a side salad. My wife also ordered the root beer, but with a Salmon Sandwich with a cup of soup instead. We also shared a whole Big Pickle! First, the root beer was very refreshing. Not super sweet, but still flavorful. And my sandwich was very delicious! The piece of Alaskan Greenling was so big, it was hanging over the bun. With the side salad, it was just the right amount of food, but I didn't feel too stuffed. My wife enjoyed her sandwich and loved the cup of beer cheese soup. And the big pickle offered a good crunch and contrast to our sandwiches. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. We did pass on dessert, but would try it if we came back to Alaska. The only weird thing is that there was no wifi available, and the cell signal was non-existent. We had to *gasp* talk to each other!
