Very popular place and for good reason! Super tasty burgers and ton of variety of toppings and sides, for the non seafood lovers. For the seafood lovers - lush clam chowder, meaty, flavorful snow crab and the Dungeness is also wonderful! Friends raved about the halibut fish and chips, tartar sauce - delish, onion rings highly recommended :) read more

French Fries - 11/10 Dungeness Crab - 9/10 King Crab 8/10 Stopped here after researching places for Crab on an Alaskan Cruise and this place is now a must stop the next time we come back. Hands down the best fries anywhere on earth. I don't know what the secret is but they were insanely good. Hopefully the recipe stays the same! Dungeness was excellent and King was pretty good. Best crab in Sitka for me! Place was a little small inside but there was outdoor seating. Bathroom was also decent, could use a more sanitary way to open the door from the inside but that's a minor nitpick. read more

The food was so delicious! We ordered the halibut and chips, and king crab legs. It took a minute to come out but well worth it! Fresh, hot, and tasty! We went late in the afternoon so it's wasn't too crowded. Chef came and and greeted us personally. Cool spot, prices were a bit high but that's not different than anywhere else in Sitka. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Sitka's Burger & Crab Shack - Halibut sandwich - Seafood Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

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. read more

Sitka's Burger & Crab Shack - Lobster Sandwich (served hot, optional) - Seafood Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

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! read more

Wow, the halibut fish and chips were outstanding! So fresh with a light crispy batter and very tasty fries. My husband also enjoyed his halibut sandwich and fries. The service was great.

Aside from the food at our lodge we were staying at this place was our go to. Owners were there and were really nice. They came out to check on us to make sure it was good. Halibut fish n chips were simply amazing. Not greasy oily at all and the fries were skinny shoe string style cooked to perfection. Wife had the burger and she said it was great as well. If you want fish n chips or a good burger this is the spot to go to. Also a little cheaper than other spots that had halibut fish n chips. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

Small spot with not a ton of seating but we enjoyed it. We got the halibut sandwich and crab cake sandwich. The crab cake sandwiches were fried but pretty good. The halibut could have used a bit more flavor. read more

I would give this place a zero if I could. The "Lobster Roll" was labeled as pollock on the menu. I had the halibut fish and chips and it did not taste like halibut. The fish was greasy and the breading was heavy. My spouse had the halibut sandwich and the bun was terrible along with the greasy fish. The fryer oil left the fish dark as well. Save your money and eat elsewhere. Your stomach will thank you read more

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. read more

The burgers are huge, and very tasty. Fries are kind of similar to McDonald's. Anything seafood will cost you $$$. Prices are fair considering it's Alaska... Good operation here, dudes in the back know how to cook a good greasy burger read more

Unassuming place to get tasty burgers and fried seafood. Due to their isolation / remoteness (I assume), it's shockingly expensive even to an NYC resident. read more

This place doesn't disappoint! We stopped by 6/14/24 around 3pm and it was super busy. We ordered their Clam Chowder- a definite must have, with generous chunks of potato and clam and a creamy white sauce. We also had their El rancho burger- super delicious with a juicy patty, onions, and jalapeños. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and there is some indoor and outdoor seating. Sitka Burger is a definite must try when you are in town! read more

Found this place on a trip to Sitka Alaska. Reasonably priced as many places were expensive and too overpriced. Food came out quick. Had the Sitka single 1/4 lb. Burger, side of fries and a Diet Coke. Food was delicious and toppings were fresh. Cheese was unique but good. Lots of Outdoor seating. There was also selection for Jucy Lucy but not the well know juicy Lucy with cheese in the middle. There was also options for King Crab legs (but expensive). Great place to eat. I'll come again if I am in Sitka. read more

Just what I was looking forward to coming to Alaska. The Halibut Fish and Chips were Amazing. The crust was perfect thickness and crispness and flavored just right. The fish was light and cooked just right. My husband had the lobster roll which was filled with lobster on a fresh sandwich roll. Our friends had the chicken strips and chicken sandwich and said it was the Best they've ever had. Don't let the prices scare you away, you're on vacation...worth the splurge. read more

Arrived at 10:50 as they were opening and Placed order #2 when they opened at 11:03. 39 minutes later still no food. Poor customer service. The others that were served looked like they had food that was good. No apology or explanation except they were short staffed. That does not excuse skipping orders and filling other first. If you are on a cruise ship and need fast service Do not go here! On the other side, the crap legs were good. When it was mentioned to the person on duty, her comment was "do what you have to do." read more

Horrible service. We were seated before three other parties and ignored. Got up and walked out.

The tartar sauce was the standout--very delicious. It wasn't tangy and more on the creamy/mild side. The crab cake was tasty but a bit heavy on the frying, and at $35, it was pricier than expected. The clam chowder was also good. The restaurant was extremely busy, and finding a seat was challenging, but the entire team was friendly, which makes a difficult. read more

Great place and atmosphere - Highly recommend! Unique experience in a beautiful setting!

Oh my gosh, they are not kidding that these are the best burgers in town! While they are a bit pricey, they are well worth it. I have to say, I wasn't impressed by the service. The girl at the cash register/taking orders appeared super bored and almost annoyed that we were there! But, after watching her interact with other customers it was clear the behavior was not about us and relatively consistent. Perhaps she was having a bad day or maybe this is just her personality. But, don't let this deter you, the burgers were outstanding! They were cooked perfectly and we all enjoyed what we ordered. The fries are good too but eat them quick or they will get cold quick! I would definitely come back if I had more time here! read more

Wonderful people, food and place! We enjoyed it during our all too brief stay in Sitka

Great food and friendly staff. The place has a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended for good Burgers and Seafood.

The BEST BURGER in Sitka. Mouthwatering. The fries are great. Service is fast. Ambiance is efficient.

I don't like giving a bad review , Sitka is a beautiful place. Dining experience has not been great. I ordered the halibut sandwich with fries. The fish portions were rather small and the French fries were smaller than shoe string size. Once I learned that I paid more for the meal using my card I was upset I should have paid cash. The cashier didn't mention that if you use a card that you are charged more. The one great thing the bun was toasted with butter, however the fish was overcooked and the fries were too small. read more

The best burgers in Sitka. Granted, this was the only place we ate in Sitka. But I've eaten in hundreds of burger joints and this one is world class. Very nice people working there. And great ambience of your normal working class burger stand. read more

Important to acknowledge- I fully realize Sitka is on an island and goods arrive via air or boat, making transport costs very high to manage all ingredients. This being said, the meal was still a bit pricey for my preference, but we chose to forge ahead and order. We had a burger, a fish and chips, and a chicken tender meal. We had added pressure to try and finish as much as possible of this $130 meal due to the cost (internal pressure, not restaurants doing.) This was actually one of the best beer battered fish we had on this trip, and I am thankful we tried this place. read more

The food here is so so so good. This is my third time. I have had the burgers, the crab, the halibut fish & chips wow. The service is amazing. Sam the cashier is so sweet and very helpful.
