    Really bad chilaquiles.

    We ordered chilaquiles and it was horrible: overcooked poached eggs, too many tortilla chips, bland mashed beans, scant sauce that had been totally absorbed by the chips, and a few shreds of tasteless cheese. The avocado was good. I took a few bites and found two long strands of black hair in the food. That did it for both of us. The fact that the waiter brought us to go boxes reinforced the overall impression that he didn't care much.

    A group of us stopped into Mean Queen for lunch while exploring Sitka. Mean Queen offers a full bar. There is a pool table as well as mounted TVs for entertainment. Discover is an accepted form of payment. While looking over the menu, I sipped on a glass of Pinot Grigio for $9. My daughter had a Mean Queen Ice Tea for $7. Our table shared the Fried Cheese Curds for $11 and Ghosted Wings (qty 10) for $19. My daughter and I ordered an Oyster Shooter for $3.50 each. The mignonette was missing. We also ordered an Oyster Shooter for $8.50 which was served alongside a shot of tomato juice. We're from Washington and our oysters are served with pizazz. The oysters we received were lackluster and it didn't help that the mignonette was missing. I should have read the room better and ordered pizza like all the other patrons were doing. Service was disjointed. Overall, our stop into Mean Queen was quite disappointing.

    Really wanted to like Mean Queen but service was slow and made for a less than ideal experience. They were out of a lot of seafood items. Our food came out at different times; by the time my friend got her cheesy rolls, I had pretty much already finished my lunch combo. We kept having to flag down our server who seemed to be taking care of all the tables upstairs and bartending at the same time. Seems like a cool spot but we were disappointed.

    We were in Sitka, AK between Christmas and New Year's and this was one of the only sit down places open. We had a couple substantial meals that were pretty decent. Loved the atmosphere. They are located upstairs so you get a bit of a view too. Service was stellar.

    Horrible interaction with the waitress. We asked if she minded if we could take the window table, she replied no. We took that as no she didn't mind. She then screams through the restaurant, I SAID NO!" Because of her attitude/response we just walked out. Waitress with the glasses should not be working customer service. Will make sure every one I know coming to Alaska won't eat here.

    Cozy restaurant, great view

    Overall kind of a dive-y vibe. We stopped by on a cold and rainy day in late May on the recommendation of the captain of our small-boat whale watching tour. It was cozy and my grilled cheese + tomato soup was perfect for this day that felt more like November. My husband had a couple oysters which he says were pretty good, and maybe a BLT but whatever it was clearly wasn't very memorable. He said he'd give it 3.5 stars, which is about where I was hovering, too. The servers were a little awkward, like maybe they were brand new and hadn't ever worked in a restaurant before? They didn't seem to have developed any of that "server's intuition" yet. I'm writing this six weeks or so after the fact and unfortunately I can't remember what made me think that, but i do know it was more than a vague feeling, and more than one thing, and with more than one of the staff. You have to walk up stairs to the second floor and I didn't see an elevator, so points off for inaccessibility. It smelled like an old building, which isn't necessarily bad, but for me not the most appetizing aroma. The view was incredible, though, and the location was convenient. Between that and the solidly decent food, we didn't regret our visit.

    Great atmosphere. Great selection of beer. The best Bloody Mary I've ever had. Tasty pizza-thin crust and delicious!

    Both times we've been in Sitka we have eaten here. The pizza is great and the drinks are cold. Anyone on a cruise to Sitka should check this place out.

    Windows are good in the summer

    The food here is always good and the vibe is very relaxed. This is a good place to bring the family for a meal and a great place to sit at the bar. Staff is very friendly. Pizzas are great. I like to order oysters as a starter. The fish and chips are good. I like the chicken sandwich and choosing a wing sauce to go with it. I got the garlic last time. This is def our go to spot.

    This place was packed when we walked in. We ended up getting a table for 4 rather quickly though. Our server was very friendly and let us know it was probably going to take longer for our order which we were fine with. We ordered our deep dish pepperoni first and then she came back to get our drinks and appetizer order. The drinks were delicious, adult lemonades and Bloody Mary's. The cheese curds came quickly and were hot and yummy. The Queens Crown appetizer was AMAZING! As deep dishes go, it was good but those appetizers were so good! Definitely come to this little hole in the wall place for a great meal and friendly service!

    This was such a fun vacation spot. Appetizers & a game of pool was a fun combo. The food & service was great. Thank you:)

    We just had a margarita and appetizer here. The margarita was really good! The combination appetizer was pretty nice size. I really enjoyed the deep fried green beans. Our server was really nice too!

    Great food, service and atmosphere. A great place to drink with the locals at night and eat away your hangover the next day.

    This is a little late, but wanted to give a shout out to Cold Water. We wandered off of a cruise…read moreship in early July in search of Alaska King Crab. Cold Water was amazing. We were a little high maintenance as we wanted to get the experience right. The entire staff was as amazing as the food and we had a great time. Prices were a little high, but we were there for the experience and loved it. CiCi did an amazing job and made us feel at home. She made our experience special.

    We chose Cold Water when coming off the ship in Sitka because it seemed to have plenty of seating…read morefor a larger group and we were on a time schedule. We were started quickly and drink orders were taken along with appetizer orders. When it was time to get entrees is when stuff started slowing down. We waited quite a bit of time for our meals, which I suppose is to be expected where cruise ships are docking! Food was fine, not bad, not great. I had the fried chicken sandwich with fries. It was a large portion, I did not end up finishing. Overall it was a decent meal and the prices were fair. Service was friendly. Our server had a crowd to help and was very nice throughout our meal. I also had a coffee that included some type of alcohol but unfortunately I can't recall the type. There's a lot of options in Sitka for lunch but the convenience and size of the Cold Water drew us in. It was fine as I said, but if you have more time, I'm sure there's better options.
