You can smell the BBQ as you walk up. The seating is picnic tables in an outdoor setting. It makes you feel like you are eating a BBQ meal in someone's backyard. You just walk up to the order counter and pick up your food when it is ready and grab a seat. A couple from Texas started Firebrand BBQ when they moved to Seward. It was nice to find some Texas-style BBQ in this little town. The menu has a number of smoke meats like brisket, pulled pork, sausage, turkey and pork belly. Sides are the usual sides that go with BBQ like potato salad and cole slaw. I got the Sandwich Combo with Brisket and Cole Slaw for lunch. I loved my meal and enjoyed my time here with my buddies. Firebrand BBQ has some specialty items like Frito Pie and Loaded BBQ Potato on thier menu. They also serve breakfast before 11am. You can pick up a bottle of their BBQ sauce at the order counter.

We sat near where the cook and prep the dishes before going to their respective tables. This place hums like a well oiled engine. Going to the owner's sister restaurant tomorrow and can't wait.

Today I remembered to do all the things including take pictures of my food. I walked in and was seated immediately, I chose to sit at the bar because it's just easier and the chairs all have better cushion. After seeing another patron eating a burger i decided to order one too! Great choice. I had the jalapeño burger with bacon jam and man was it delicious. The burger was a perfect medium well, the brioche bun was perfectly toasted, the white cheddar cheese was the perfect complement to the slightly sweet bacon jam, the bacon was crispy, Smokey and not greasy. The only complaint was the slice of tomato that is out of season and tasteless. I mean it is Alaska after all. My seafood chowder which I paid an additional $4.00 for a cup was okay but whatever, the burger made up for it. All in all it was a great experience and delicious meal. Because it was the middle of the afternoon on a weekday, the place wasn't as packed and noisy as it can be sometimes. The ambiance was super relaxed today so I sat and ate inside. If you are ever in Seward, check this place out.

On the walls hung artwork by Alaskan artists. Had great views of the mountains while dining. Service was great. Our server knew the menu very well and answered all our questions. Food was very good. They were all presented and arranged carefully and were very visually appealing. Alaskan salmon was Japanese inspired with contrasting textures of crunchy breaded broccolini and soft carrots and potatoes, aioli glaze and unagi sauce. Halibut sandwich had generous parts of the fish. It had rosemary flavor with little kick. The veggies had some sweet flavor in them. Summertime cake was soft pound cake with strawberry sauce and candied orange. Good for sharing. Because our experience was very good, we went back the following morning for breakfast. Breakfast buffet was offered. American breakfast was hearty. It had two eggs, yummy potatoes, sausage (or bacon), and toast. Eggs benedict was good too. Our server Alma was friendly. We had great experience here - food, ambiance, and service.

Right inside the door, you'll find a full crepe station ready to prepare your breakfast. We came for an early breakfast twice on our visit, and the owner was prepped and ready to go! They have a full page of crepe options, both savory and dessert. So we ended up trying 1 of each between our visits. Their Crepe Compote Maison was light and flavorful while their Crepe Boeuf Passion had a bit more punch with the creamy beef. Both were equally delicious, just depends on what you're more in the mood for. They also have an impressive hot tea selection served steeped in a teapot. Tried a different one each of the days - both great starts to the morning. Such a cozy, homey feel inside. Our table had different news articles and information about the creperie, and it was a fun way to learn more about the restaurant. Plus, our waitress was so kind. Wonderful experience. We were only in Seward 3 days, but I would have gladly continued to eat here for breakfast each day of our full trip to Alaska to try both their crepes and their teas. Highly recommend.

Tried it out our first morning in Seward, and it didn't disappoint. Going in, it felt like being welcomed to someone's home. We got seated immediately, and Janet (the owner and crepe master) was there to greet us with a good morning and cook us some tasty crepes. You have a choice between dessert crepes and savory crepes. And, honestly, you can't go wrong with either. They also have a great collection of teas, and the coffee is brewed fresh daily by Janet. If you need hot drinks, a warm environment, and delicious crepes, then stop by.

I absolutely loved the gluten-free coating on the halibut since I'm not a fan of tempura-style batter. The Tanner crab was amazing, and the fried pickles were also great, though the portion was huge (definitely too much for one person). Service was excellent both nights. The bartenders were really friendly, and the food came out quickly and smoothly. The interior is also super cute, kind of an old-school lounge vibe with lots of velvet. There's a neon sign that says "city where the fun shines," which adds to the fun atmosphere. Such a great dinner spot in Seward.

First, the place looks like1985 retired inside in a good way. The bar in lined in plush red fabric and the photos, decor and chairs all are retro to the max but what did the food taste like? So I ordered the smash burger and roasted mini Yukon gold potatoes with creme and bacon. The burger was kinda charred I guess but still good, the server never asked how I wanted it cooked so that was a HUGE minus, but it wasn't bad just not great, the flavor was good, the veggies were fresh, just not great! The potatoes were the star of the show! They were perfectly seasoned and the creme and bacon sauce was MONEY!! They literally melt in your mouth and were roasted perfectly without being mushy. The service was good, the vibe was super chill. The place is kinda pricey for what you get but that is everything in this little town. I will be back to try some other things eventually.

We sat as a group of seven people with the plan to have one check with three people and then four individual checks. This is a bullet pointed list of the issues we had. * We had some miscommunication on the splitting of the checks, which is okay, but I believe she should have double checked, especially because we repeatedly made it clear that the rest of us were singles. This became an issue because she told us at the end that they can only split the check two ways. * All of the food was okay, except my friend's (K) burger being pink inside and the chowder leaving a bad taste in my other friend's (B) mouth afterward. * K ordered a plain burger with cheese and received a burger with everything on it, including mayo which she cannot stand. She mentioned this to our waitress who then said "can you just take the lettuce and stuff off?" We said no and got a new burger, because that was not what K ordered. * My Greek salad was also an issue. I have a nut allergy so I checked with her about the ingredients of the Greek Vinaigrette that they bring with it. She said it had an onion base but didn't know the rest so she asked the kitchen, who she says wouldn't give her an answer on ingredients. * She offered me ranch but I told her I don't like ranch so I'll just go without any dressing, I didn't mind that much. She then offered ranch yet again, which was weird, and also a no from me. * She ended up getting me some olive oil and vinegar, which was perfect. The olive oil did not taste like olive oil though so I double checked that and she said it was, it just tasted more like vegetable oil to me and B. * I overheard her talking to a table behind me (what looked to be a child and their grandma) about them not being able to find the bathroom. She said, "oh you couldn't find it? It's like right there. On your left." She was very rude about it which was surprising to me. I felt that the attitude was unwarranted. * We had the discussion about splitting checks and then waited a while to pay. We also noticed that the checks were split incorrectly even though she had probably quadruple checked who the 3 person group was herself. * It took a while so we just went to the front desk area, where after waiting for a long time we were directed to another desk area. The lady that was standing there, she was blonde and a bit older than our waitress (presumably the manager) then left and made herself busy despite staying there the whole time before,so we had to wait even longer. * J, who had the og 3 person group, went to pay with tap, which our waitress was aware of beforehand. She then informs us that tap doesn't work for checks over $100, and his was $184. B paid her check with her Cashapp card and tried to pay J's too because he couldn't. It took the money out of her Cashapp account but didn't go through. We went back to the first desk, and tried again. K was even getting ready to transfer money in case B's didn't work either. Then, she tells us that apparently she can split the payment into two that are under $100... which would have been wonderful to know before we were running around trying to figure out how to pay our bill. Also, would have been a convenient way to keep it as two checks but still split up payments between the singles. * I also overheard our waitress speaking rudely to her coworker (a girl with black hair and a ponytail who was working hostess) who had asked her a question. She said, "Just press it, it's the same," in, again, a rude tone. * B overheard the manager (? The blonde lady) being rude to our waitress. We would have been more understanding if it was an end of shift slump, but when we sat and asked if the chowder was available she said she had to check because she had just gotten there. We were all very disappointed with this service, especially considering the prices, and will not be going back.

Prices lean toward the higher side for a casual establishment though that seems to be the norm in Seward. For comparison, I paid about the same for fish and chips at another nice restaurant nearby the night before. A heads-up: the fish here is fried with panko breading, so if you're (like me) expecting New Zealand-style or classic English beer-battered this might not hit the mark. The fries were excellent tho and the seafood chowder was the real star--rich, flavorful, and loaded with salmon chunks. Would I order the fish and chips again? Probably not. But I'd definitely come back just for seafood chowder!!

Not only did she forget our order, but she never checked on us. It's not like she was busy. There were only a handful of people in the restaurant, which should have been a red flag! Only thing worse than the service was the food. I ordered the Smokey burger, but it should have been called the Bland Burger. Our waitress never asked how I wanted it cooked. There's no way that it was done freshly! It came out way too quickly and wasn't even warm. My wife's salad was a joke. What's up with the sticky floors and sticky tables???
