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!

Gayle B.

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!!!!

Sooooo good! Line is worth the weight! Delicious and the staff were soo nice. A must stop!

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.

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.

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]]

Cinnamon sugar fry bread

4 stars If you like churros, fry bread is like the cousin of churros. It's soft and pillowy and the perfect snack for a cold rainy day like today. It's a bit of a hole-in-the-wall kind of place that serves fry bread ($8) and shaved ice ($6). The rest of the shop contains gifts/souvenirs to bring home. Service is quick. If your wallet isn't hurting from all the shopping around town, then come here! If it is hurting, come here anyway :)

Delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, fun music and fun, unique items inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We shared a fry bread. It was warm, cinnamon sugary and a yummy treat. We were total gluttons as we'd just each gotten bags of caramel corn, but it was so worth it!!!

MY V.

Enjoyed this little spot where you can get a huge dough bread with sugar cinnamon on top. Warm and delicious. Lines do get long but worth it. Staff were friendly. This is a must when you're in town.

We have elephant ears in our Florida fairs, and this is similar but I think I like these better. These have a chewier texture.

What can I say. It is a really good dough dessert with sugar on it. Maybe not the healthiest but with coffee

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

We were visiting my cousin in town and asked him where to find the best fish and chips around. He…read morerecommended this place, and we're glad he did. There was a bit of a wait, but we grabbed a beer and relaxed while waiting for tables to clear. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive, and I really appreciated the decor throughout the restaurant. As a gal originally from Cape Cod, I especially loved the nautical theme! Of course, I ordered the fish and chips, and it came out hot, fresh, and delicious. The batter was a little crispier than I'm used to, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the flaky, white fish. The guys in our group enjoyed their meals as well. The ladies' room was clean, which is always appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend this spot if you don't mind a bit of a wait. For us, it was absolutely worth it. I also want to mention that we were visiting on a cruise ship, and this restaurant was a very convenient walk to and from the port. If you're in town for the day, it's an easy and worthwhile stop!

I had the halibut fish and chips. The boss has the salmon poke wrap…read more The fish and chips were delicious. Crispy and battered perfectly. Fries, also crispy and puffy on the inside. As busy as it was, getting a seat was easy. Our server also did a good job with our food and drinks. We got lucky and sat outside during a blue bird day. We faced the mountains and it was spectacular.

OMG, where to begin. My family and I visited Skagway today and discovered the greatest restaurant…read morepossibly in the entire state! We weren't there for a typical meal, we did a culinary and Alaskan gardening class. These two things happen to be my all time favorite pass times. I learned so much from nearly every staff member I came into contact with. Their pastry chef taught us so much about bread making and the science behind it and was incredibly knowledgeable. The in house gardener (yes they have one of those!) grows ingredients on site to help supplement food costs and she taught us so much about how climate impacts the plants she grows. (Their rhubarb was gigantic) everything we ate was off the charts amazing! If I had to give a negative comment it would be that the manager seemed inconvenienced by the guests and made sure to tell us that we were keeping him from his busy day, but to be fair he said he isn't usually the one who gives guest presentations so I have to give him props for doing it even when he clearly had other things to do. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE if you find yourself in Skagway, but get there early because space is limited. 11/10 Great job!!!

Ambiance is old timey Wild West, comfortable booth and a chance to people watch. Food was good,…read morehowever, since we came on a Sunday, they were out of most of the menu items. So sad! Their supplies come on a barge, and barge day is Tuesday. However, the cocktails were good, flavorful and strong. Got the crab legs (split the pound) and a side of fries. The crab was good, but not ohmygod good (honestly I have crab shipped to my house from Alaska that was better). The fries were awesome! And I'm not a fry person. Got a very generous piece of 24 carat cake too. The service was quite good. Our waitress apologized up and down for not having the menu items we really wanted.
