Date of visit: July 19, 2025…read more We stopped at the restaurant here as part of a cruise excursion that took us around Ketchikan. This meal was a bit of a mixed bag, though more about presentation and delivery than about food. Our group was met outside by the food and beverage manager, who looked very proud of himself and his position. He welcomed us but then went into a lecture about how the seating will be arranged and not to get lost after the meal going to look at their waterfall because people have gotten lost in the past... The seating was a cluster. F&B Man started yelling out, "Do I have a party of 9?" If no takers, he then went down to the next number and so on until we got a winner and that's how we were seated. Now obviously I am not a professional seater or restaurant host, but given that this excursion was signed up for quite some time ago and the bus driver contacted the restaurant earlier in the day to advise of the number of kids meals and food allergy/sensitivity guests they would have, couldn't they also ask the driver to provide the number of guests and how many in each party? Our friend doesn't do seafood and he shared that with the bus driver. He was served a bacon cheeseburger; no inquiry about if he ate beef and/or pork, or how he would want it prepared... Thankfully he said it was great! At any rate, we all got seated like good little cattle and were served their Taste of Alaska; halibut with lemon, crab cake, salmon and some rice. I thought everything was quite good, though the salmon was a bit on the drier side. Dessert was a berry cobbler that was nothing to write home about--could have used some ice cream to pep it up a bit.

This review is for the Salmon Falls Restaurant. We came for dinner with locals…read more The resort itself is gorgeous. The restaurant is classy and looks exactly like an Alaskan lodge should look--with huge picture windows looking out onto the Tongas Narrows. The atmosphere is spot on. The menu seems extremely limited. We were there the first week in September so maybe they were cutting down the menu in view of the seasonal closing coming soon. I had a Ribeye which was $60+ and was kinda average. Very fatty, even for a ribeye. The sides (whipped potatoes and carrots) were good, but kind of skimpy. My wife wound up sending back her tomato soup which had some undercooked chickpeas. The good was good, but we were not wowed. Maybe it was just a bad night late in the season. I know that our local friends consider this to be one of the nicest restaurants in Ketchikan. I would try it again next year.

Fireweed exceeded every expectation I had for my FIRST Alaska Fishing Trip!!…read more Once on-site we were told to make ourselves at home, that we could borrow a vehicle anytime we wanted and that if we had any questions or wanted any info to just holler and they would help us. What I loved most about this is I got to watch them LIVE this over the next week. They do no just say this for marketing purposes. Ownership and Staff were genuine and kind and accommodating in every way. I highly recommend Fireweed Lodge for anyone headed to Alaska for an Adventure! Thank you Chase & Josh for making this trip one for the memory books

I cannot say enough about how great this experience was. Chase and Josh have this program…read morecompletely dialed every step of the way. It was my first time at Fireweed Lodge, but immediately felt like I was staying with long-time family friends. It's abundantly clear that they, and the entire staff, are genuine, good-hearted, salt-of-the-earth folks who want you to have a great time (and get on a lot of fish). I was on Adam's boat all 3 days I was there and couldn't have been happier. Adam knows his stuff and continually made game-time decisions that paid off (also, as an added bonus, he's hilarious which comes in handy when the bite slows down from time to time). Summed up, everything you could possibly ask for in a Captain. Limits of Coho and Halibut every day with some healthy Kings on a couple of days (which is not guaranteed in late August, when we went). Came home with about 75 lbs of meat for each person! I'll be booking a trip at Fireweed again, no question about that. The only thing I'll do differently is buy a bigger freezer before I go. Highly recommend.

The raw lumber was then milled, peeled and notched by hand. It took 7 years to finish the original three-story lodge!

We're on POW Island for the week and are staying at the Sunnahae Hotel in Craig…read more Very nice place, with 10 rooms inside the hotel and three cabins behind it. The cabins have a kitchenette, if you prefer to prepare your meals. The rooms are good-sized, with mini-fridge, microwave, coffeemaker and flat screen TV. The bathroom is small but adequate and hot water is plentiful. Heat is supplied via baseboard and there's no A/C but a desktop fan is provided. The WiFi is robust with 2.4 and 5G available, and it's on a password-protected VPN (there's not much wireless elsewhere, so it's nice to have it here). Rates are fair and there's a large common room inside and a covered deck out back. Under the current restrictions there's no food service, but a cafe is two doors down the street (see separate review for the Dockside Cafe) and the local Moose lodge is across the street. When you're on POW Island and need a place to stay, look no further than the Sunnahae Hotel. You'll be glad you did!
