Sitka was a port stop on our cruise and since we didn't have Alaskan King Crab in Ketchikan we said…read morewe absolutely had to get it in Sitka. Did a little research and while there weren't many restaurants who both served Alaskan King Crab and had great reviews with the exception of Burger & Crab Shack so we had to go. When we arrived there was literally a really short line so we hopped right on and ordered. We came for the Alaskan King Crab so that's what we ordered and BBBAAAAYYYYBBBBEEEEE did they deliver - OMG! The largest, juciest and most fresh Alaskan King Crab I've ever had. Nothing I've had in the past even comes close to comparing - and it was absolutely positively worth every penny. Chefs Kiss! The staff was very friendly too and made sure everyone who was dining there was happy. Highly recommend this place for Alaskan King Crabs and for pretty much everything else on the menu because we saw folks eating burgers ... MASSIVE and their fish and chips and it all looked amazing!

By the time I was able to grab lunch it was around 2:30-3, so most of the cruise ship crowds had already cleared out and it wasn't busy at all. They were unfortunately sold out of the fish and chips, which I'm sure is one of the hot commodities with all the tourists so I ended up getting a cheeseburger instead and honestly, it was SO good. I was really impressed! The burger was great and the bun was super fresh. The fries could've used a little more seasoning for me, but they were still good. Definitely recommend stopping in if you're in Sitka! Next time I'll just have to get there earlier so I can try the fish and chips!

TIKI DAVE loves Beak Restaurant!…read more After researching restaurants in Sitka, Beak, by far, seemed to be the best in town. And it was my wife's birthday, so I wanted to pick the best for a lunch in town on our cruise stop. And well, she doesn't eat seafood, so she was left to order the Vegetable Barley Soup and the Mac & Cheese so she wasn't thrilled but I've got to say, those two non-fish items were amazing. It would be nice if they offered some other non-fish items. Still, the rest of our seafood eaters loved our dishes. SON OF TIKI DAVE and I shared the Blackened Lingcod Sandwich (with tomato, spinach, horseradish aioli, served on a stadium roll with kettle chips) for $24 as well as the Halibut Roll (Cooked in Butter with Shredded Cabbage, Celery on a Hot Dog Bun and served with Kettle Chips) for $23. The boy preferred the Blackened Lingcod Sandwich and I preferred the buttery Halibut Roll. Man, that Halibut Roll was so awesome! The girl had the Smoked Salmon Plate, served with House Crostini and Cheddar Cheese for $18 and man, that salmon was amazing. We took the leftovers of this and damn it, I left it when the wife and I hit for a Moose Fart afterwards at Ernie's Old Time Saloon (great shot but $10!). Obviously, prices are a little steep...because it's Alaska and well, cruises. But Beak delivers delicious food and the ambiance in an old house is wonderful. They serve local beer as well as wine. Service is refreshingly gratuity free, which is nice. Do know that service in Alaska can vary from great to 'we'll get to you when we want'. Service at Beak was kind of in the middle but that didn't detract from our experience at all. TIKI DAVE HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDS BEAK in Sitka Alaska. Oh! And how you get here...MAKE ABSOLUTE CERTAIN you download a map of Sitka before you step off the ship, if you do come from a ship because cellular service in town really sucks. We asked a tour operator where the restaurant was because we didn't know about the terrible cell service. The location is near the foot of the bridge on the west side of town. And when in Sitka, make sure you walk east to The Sitka National Historical Park, check out the great little free museum at its entrance, and make your way to the Indian River to see the salmon and possibly bears feeding.

This place is really well rated around town, so my friends were excited to come here for the salmon…read morechowder. I am not a huge seafood person, so I was relieved to see they had a few non-seafood options too. We did have to wait about 30 mins outside under their "portico" to get a table. Unfortunately, the only table available was outside, and it was COLD. A few outdoor heaters would make a huge difference. I kept wondering why they didn't have any! - It is ALASKA after all... My friends all ordered the salmon chowder and said it was good, although they wished it had been hotter, especially since we were all sitting outside trying not to freeze. They also thought it could have used a little more flavor, but overall they liked it. I went with the mac and cheese, which was made with bowtie pasta. An unusual choice for mac and cheese, but it worked. It was nothing spectacular, but it was hot, cheesy and comforting, so on a chilly day, that was a big win for me. Service was fast and very friendly, which definitely helped. They also have a small but really cool gift shop, so be sure to take a look before you leave. Overall, a solid stop. I just wish they would add some heaters for those chilly outdoor tables!

If you walk past this restaurant you will miss the best seafood place we have tried in Sitka. Ask for Holly. A cheerful, friendly and helpful server who was just delightful to talk with. We tried the sour dough fritters that are served with honey butter. Served piping hot and delicious. Then we had the crab dip. Served with toasted crostini. Nice sized portion for sharing. Also steaming hot and very good. Imagine an artichoke dip but with crab instead. And then a sour dough bread bowl full of clam chowder that was excellent. Hot and creamy with a lot of clams. Wash it down with some good local beer and enjoy the day. The restaurants we have tried in town are good. This is even better. Don't walk past this place.

​We recently sat down and ate at this restaurant and were left bitterly disappointed. We had…read morepreviously visited this restaurant when we were in Sitka in 2023 and had an outstanding experience. ​Before even dining in the restaurant, we had visited and discussed local specials and food options, and we were assured that the local specials would still be available the next weekend from the date we spoke with the hostess. Yet, when we visited the restaurant, we were told that these specials were no longer being offered. We were informed of this only after waiting approximately 25 minutes after being seated just for a server to come over, greet us, and take our drink orders. ​We decided to accept this misunderstanding regarding the local specials and ordered. Drinks took a long time to arrive, with a draft beer being served well after our cocktails were. ​We ordered crab combos for the table to share so we could sample multiple items without over-ordering. The server was fully aware that the crab plates were for the entire table, yet we were given only two pairs of crab scissors for a four-person party, no extra plates, and no containers for crab shells. Later, extra scissors were hastily delivered without the server checking on anything else we needed. We were only offered shell containers after we had already built up a large pile of crab shells on a plate we had to repurpose ourselves. ​The food itself was very good, with the exception of the clam chowder, which was mediocre. However, as the food was served, we noticed flies buzzing around our table and landing on our food. We constantly had to shoo flies away from our meals and our faces, with one landing directly on my face. Because the crab was protected by its shell, we ate that, but we ended up leaving the majority of the rest of the food once we noticed the flies landing on it. ​When one member of our party asked to refresh their cocktail, we were told the bar was closing after 5:00 PM. Had we been greeted and served promptly after being seated, this wouldn't have been an issue. ​After these experiences, we brought our concerns to our server's attention, and she brought the manager over to speak with us. The manager claimed that our server was probably just busy with other things and stated that she couldn't help flies coming into the restaurant, though she assured us they sanitize everything daily. The manager agreed to reduce our bill by 50% to compensate for our negative experience. However, when the server brought the bill, she stated it would only be reduced by 20% and tried to explain why this was sufficient. We were deeply disappointed that the manager would not honor her own agreement, just as they refused to honor what they had communicated to locals. ​If you're looking for outstanding clam chowder, I recommend The Pub downtown, which also has outstanding burgers. If you're looking for local crab, I highly recommend the Burger & Crab Shack just off downtown. Both of these places offer a great atmosphere and service, and will provide a much more authentic local experience.

A little garnish would have helped as vegetable and potato sides were extra. Salads were equally unimpressive, mixed salad was Costco type greens (only 2 varieties), one cherry tomato and a few slices of string red onion, no offer of ground pepper, no croutons, etc. The Caesar salad had very light green Romaine lettuce that looked unappealing. Disappointing. There could be a connection with local greens providers for a great local salad as other local restaurants have done. Starter bread was good and we did not get deserts.
