    Stopped by Sitka Burger & Crab Shack and had a great experience overall. Service was quick and friendly. The Dungeness crab was excellent -- I liked it so much I ordered three rounds! My wife isn't a seafood fan and really enjoyed her burger, which says a lot. The fries were good too. The only downside was the onion rings. They came out cold and weren't very tasty, so I'd probably skip those next time. Other than that, definitely worth stopping by, especially for the crab.

    Halibut sandwich
    Erik S.

    For sure some of the best fried halibut in Alaska. Been a lot of places. I much prefer this one for fried halibut. Small and hard to see from the street but it's on the right hand side of the address when you're looking at it from the street. I would say a don't miss. Affordable as halibut and Alaska go. But I don't feel like I just got robbed. And got not much for it. These guys deliver and you're full. Great sauces or straight. I don't think you'll be disappointed

    Lobster Sandwich (served hot, optional)

    I don't want to give a negative review for a spot I have only visited once. So I'll start with the positives. Wonderful staff, efficient service, fascinating menu, and if I was here for a length of time, I would like to work my way down the menu. The loss of star is only for the Lobster Sandwich, which was "odd". We did note that were several ingredients beside lobster (should have been the clue) but was told that was because they add extra stuff to the lobster. Ok, fair. I was offered cold or hot and I chose hot. Overall, French fries were great, bun was good and the "lobster" was meh. My travel partner had dunguness crab and she loved it.

    We were in with a bigger party of 6 adults and 4 kids. I was worried we wouldn't be able to have enough seating for us because the space didn't look very large from the pics. But it was a lovely day so we were able to sit outside at the several tables there. This is a counter service place. You place your order and then they bring out your food. We had everything from chowder to fish and chips to lobster sandwich to Dungeness crab and literally everything was delicious. I personally ordered the chowder and crab and would recommend for sure! The employees were all super nice! It's expensive but also it's Alaska and everything was a little pricier, as expected. I'd go early because by the time we finished up, seats were hard to come by!

    Halibut fish and chips

    The shack, as its name implies gives off hole-in-the-wall vibe. In a good way. We sat outside on the little patio. Everyone was very friendly. They had me at "halibut fish & chips". I love halibut and rarely to get the chance to eat it anymore. This fish was excellent. Three good sized pieces of delicious. The fries were okay, nothing to write home about. Our friend ordered the crab which he thought was quite good, too. The meal is expensive - $35 as of July 2025. I have no real comparison as this was our first meal in Alaska. They don't offer tap water, so you need to buy a bottled drink of you want something to wash down your food. Overall, happy with our visit.

    This place was JAM PACKED but well worth walking over here for a meal. The service was efficient. As soon as somebody got up off of a table. It was clean and ready for the next party. The food was simple and was good. Our order came out quickly. The staff was well organized and friendly.

    When in Sitka, AK, go for king crab and seafood at Sitka's Burger and Crab Shack! We had Alaska King Crab Legs and Alaskan Halibut Sandwich & Fries. We were visiting Sitka for the day from a cruise port and we were trying to find a restaurant for fresh king crab and seafood. We stumbled here after walking around discovering Sitka downtown. It did take a bit longer for our food to be ready but knowing two cruise ships docked they were so busy with lines the door. There is also minimal tables to sit but good time when our food arrived, we found a table outside to devour our food. It was a sunny and it was nice to sit outside taking in the wonderful weather we were lucky to have in September 2024 in Alaska. If you are ever in Sitka, must try out their fresh seafood!

    Sitka Alaska is such a magical little town. I had the opportunity to go on a wonderful boating adventure this morning & after all that excitement. We worked up quite an appetite. However we quickly discovered how hard it was going to be to find a spot for lunch being that it's also Sunday. All the places we checked next to the harbor was closed. Either opening later for dinner or under construction. Luckily one of the places we called referred us to Sitka's Burger & Crab Shack. When we pulled up, we were just so happy to see the open sign with lights on inside. Plus there was already a few diners with their food. The lady behind the counter was super nice, patient with all our requests & accommodating. Our order was started the moment we placed it. So the wait wasn't long at all. It only felt like a few minutes before our food was dropped off at our table. Not only did it look delicious but everything was piping hot straight from the kitchen. Which I absolutely love because I personally can't eat cold fries. Even after biting into my fish sandwich I could see the steam from the heat being released. Giving that wow factor. Since you can tell my food wasn't chilling in the kitchen getting cold before being delivered. Plus our cashier/server also happened to be the owner. So any time I meet someone who does a wonderful job ensuring their customers are happy. I want to help spread the word with my positive experience. Great customer service & delicious food is a double win in my book. Thanks for helping to make this day a memorable one. XOXO, ChelsieFletcher

    Great restaurant for lunch. We had the fish and chips. The fish was very hot and I was disappointed to see that it was not technically "fresh". It tasted just fine, but I think I expected it to be actually hand breaded and fried. This was obvious that these fillets came frozen from a store. The fries were excellent. I would definitely eat here again because their burgers looked amazing. Maybe I'll try that next time.

Server was super friendly, although it did take quite a while to get his attention sometimes. All the food was much better than I was expecting. I strayed from my usual picks and went with the mushroom sandwich. It was SO GOOD. I usually don't go for vegetarian options, but I'm glad I did. The Mac and cheese was delicious as well--would definitely recommend! The salmon chowder, salmon plate and salmon dip were all solid choices too. The kale salad wasn't my favorite. The candied pecans were a nice part of it though and I still finished it. The hummus plate was more of an open sandwich and my parents really liked that.

    I was very excited to try this place out after reading some of the reviews and seeing that it was…read morevoted #2 top restaurants in Alaska. However upon coming here for lunch, I was deeply disappointed. We arrived here on a Wednesday for lunch and the whole seating was pretty much open at the restaurant. Despite this, my mom and I wanted to sit near the window and asked the server if we could move tables since they wanted to seat us near the bathroom up against a column. Our server was very cold towards us and did not let us move tables even though all the tables were pretty much open. We felt uncomfortable throughout our dining experience due to the server's attitude. She was also reluctant to give me a refill on my iced tea. Their menu is pretty limited and they serve mostly seafood. We ordered the cod sandwich, salad, and halibut ceviche. The ceviche was very mid and not flavorful whatsoever. The salad was also lackluster however the only redeeming element of the salad was the kelp pickle which was cool to try. They have free wifi.

The views were absolutely beautiful, and the restaurant is located up a flight of stairs. We were seated quickly and didn't have to wait too long for service. They had quite a selection of beers and brews, and I loved the vintage style bar. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer, and unfortunately, we felt the portion size was too much. I think the price could be lowered in exchange for a smaller serving because we felt bad wasting so much food. My fish arrived warm and was served with hand-cut fries. The batter was a little different from anything we've tried before. It was good, but I think there may have been a bit too much pepper added. It wasn't bad, just a different flavor profile, so keep that in mind. Overall, if you're looking for a place with beautiful views, we would recommend it. I ultimately decided on a 4 star rating rather than a 3 star rating because the scenery really added to our day in Sitka.

My husband and I ordered the fish and chips to share and as you can see in the picture it was plenty for the two of us. The fish was halibut which is local to the area.

Nonetheless, it was very tasty.
