On a recent cruise, this was the first stop on our Ketchikan port day. While the majority of our…read morefellow cruisers darted for the shore excursions, my wife & I meandered away from the crowd and into town on our town. As this was our first trip to Alaska, we wanted to take our time and enjoy the views. Our ship docked in Ketchikan around 9:00 AM, and we were among the first to disembark. We had a light breakfast on the ship, but were still very hungry by the time we made it here. There were 3 people waiting for food when we ordered, but there was no line at the counter otherwise. My wife ordered the Wild Alaskan Smoked Salmon crepe (adding avocado), while I chose the Monte Cristo. As the crepes were made to order, it did take a while to get our food. After about 20 minutes, the server called my name. We took our order and sat down in front of the pub next door (they were closed), as there wasn't any seating around. We dove into our food as it was hot and fresh. My Monte Cristo was jam-packed (pun intended) with chopped ham and cheese, but with just enough of the raspberry preserves to enrich the flavor of the other ingredients. My wife's crepe was full of salmon, enrobed by the spinach and avocado. We devoured our food very quickly, our appetites satiated and ready for a long day ahead. Later in the afternoon, we ended up walking by this place. By this time, the line was at least a couple dozen patrons long. I'm glad we came early for these delectable treats!

Definitely not the crispy, flaky crepe we were hoping for. At almost $20 after tax and the…read moreautomatically added tip, it's definitely not cheap, so we were expecting much more. The texture was a bit underwhelming and didn't have that delicate, crisp edge we look for in a good crepe. And considering it's essentially a to-go crepe spot with no indoor seating, the price feels even harder to justify. For almost $20, we were expecting something more special and memorable. Sadly, this one just didn't hit the mark.

My experience: ordered the scramble and substituted bacon for the ham. Daughter ordered waffle with…read morestrawberries and a side of hashbrowns. The bacon was cooked, chopped then put on the eggs rather than cooked with them. The cheese wasn't very melted either. I didn't get my toast & daughter didn't get whipped cream until after our plates were served. Hash browns texture was like the rehydrated hash browns. I ordered coffee and the server never came back after my one cup. FYI my toast was slathered with margarine. (Don't love it). Seating & views were nice. Wasn't very busy so idk why we lacked with our orders and drink. It was close to the area we were at so we went.

You order at the counter and they bring your pizza. We got the medium pepperoni, perfect size for the 4 of us to have a couple quick slices each. The pizza was good! I really liked the crust which was light, crispy and full of wood-fired flavor. Fat Stan's itself is pretty small, there are some tables and then some bar seating, but if you are able to come early then you'll get a seat easily. The vibe inside was fun and relaxing and my teens liked the music! Overall a good pizza spot! Stop in if you have time while in Ketchikan!

We've told…read moredozens of friends who head this way on cruises to make the trip to Alava's, that they won't be disappointed. I will no longer make that recommendation. Last time, the service was excellent. This time, we were overcharged for our meal. The older gentleman asked the younger for the price, who reported it at $5 greater than the sign (there are three signs outside which show the oyster plate price at $20). When I remarked that the price was showing at $20 on the sign, he said, "well we fix it, but it keeps rubbing off," as he scanned my card. No apology, no anything. Some of the prices have been changed, however, this one has not been. I'm not sure I'll brave the Ketchikan public bus for another visit. Good food doesn't make up for bad business, Alava's.
