The prices were a bit steep but that's the case for just about anywhere in town, and the portions are definitely enough for leftovers.

Most of the time when getting out from a cruise ship you don't expect the restaurants just off the…read morepier to be particularly good, just convenient. 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.

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!

Unfortunately we did not know it was cash only but between the few of us scrounged up $40 and bought his battered fish on stick. My sister had first bite and said OMG this just melts in her mouth. At this point this point I was hangry and it was finally my turn and the moment I ate the fish, it just melted. WOW! Other worldly so delicious, the batter wasn't heavy and thick like most other batter fish, just light and airy, tasty, fresh and what ever else that would put his fish on a pedestal. Best fish I've ever had hands down. If you go (bring cash $20/stick). So not only did we regret not having cash on us but the owner was so kind he even let us try a stick of his fresh fried shrimp which was equally as delicious. If ever visiting Sitka whether on cruise (like us) or traveling there go to Sea Daddy, you won't regret it. Then do what I did and leave an awesome review for the owner and let the world know that such a magical place exists in Sitka.

It's thin. But the fish is SO good it doesn't really matter. He has hot sauces, salt and malt vinegar. You pick what you want. We tried it all. Great thin batter keeps the fish the main focus.
