Tracy's was easily the best meal of my Alaska trip! Love the location of the restaurant and from the moment we walked in it smelled amazing. There was a line out the door, but we only waited about 10-15 minutes to get inside and found seats right after ordering. We ordered two Crab Shack Combos (one with the red king crab leg and one with the Dungeness crab) for about $140 total. Each combo included crab bisque, 4 mini crab cakes, rolls, and butter. The king crab was sweet, tender, and incredibly fresh, the best king crab I've ever had. Also the mini crab cakes were so delicious I could have eaten a dozen more and will definitely be ordering extra next time. I can't wait to come back to Alaska and visit Tracy's again. read more

The M&M tour bus operator let us off a bit early for those of us who wanted to try the famous/popular restaurant called Tracy's King Crab Shack. So we promptly got in line to wait as they were quite busy. Approximately 45 mins later, we were able to put in our food order at the front counter. We should have been given a 2.5% cash discount per their menu but weren't. Then, we had to find our own table to sit at. Even though it was drizzling a bit, we sat at an outside table because all of the interior tables were occupied. Luckily, the rain stopped shortly after we found a clean-ish table next to a heater. Wait staff brought our food to our table after a short wait. We ordered the #1 Combo Golden King Crab (14 oz) (which came with a small crab bisque, 4 mini crab cakes, garlic bread rolls, and butter), 1 lb of Red King Crab, Pulled Pork Sliders, and a glass of Alaskan Brewing Company Summer (Kolsch beer). While both types crab were tasty, I really couldn't decide whether one was better than the other. The crab bisque was rich and flavorful; the rolls were soft and tender and went well with the bisque. The crab cakes were also good - nothing outstanding though. And, the glass of beer was super cold and very refreshing! I'm glad we tried Tracy's King Crab Shack despite it being a tourist spot and expensive. Tons of merchandise for sale were plastered all over their walls. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and food. read more

Everyone knows this place! Usually a long line. Be ready to drop a pretty penny on these crab legs. Off the chart expensive for what you get. We tried the chowder which was packed full of meat. Very good. The roll is also tasty. The crab cake was delicious too. Skipped the crabs as we are from MD and are use to flavorful crabs. Find that the legs are much more bland. Plus, the price was a deterrent. Service was good. Very nice. Clean place to eat. Super fun merch. Several locations. Don't just stop in the one that is directly off of the cruise port area. Keep walking! read more

Tried the second location about 10 minute walk from main location on the doc. They have a much larger seating area with heaters inside and large tables to sit at than they do at the location on the pier. Which makes the line go faster. The service has always been great. We tried their special fresh caught crab (1/2 a crab) for $99. Also had to get the beer battered shrimp and bisque soup. They let us try the beers they have in tap to decide which we wanted to try! I forget the name but really great Alaskan beer. read more

Tracy's Crab Shack in Juneau, Alaska a must-stop for seafood lovers! Awesome place in Juneau! I had to check it out, even though my mom wasn't quite ready for lunch yet. Tracy's is famous for its Alaskan king crab, snow crab, crab cakes, and fresh seafood, making it a popular stop for visitors and cruise travelers. I ordered the already cracked king crab and snow crab ($50) and also tried the crab cakes and fried shrimp. Everything was hot and fresh, and the crab was definitely the highlight! My only small complaints were that the butter and lemon weren't included with my order at first, and the roll was a little stale, but the staff was very nice when I went back to grab them. I got my order to go, and my mom and I sat on a bench nearby enjoying our seafood while taking in the beautiful views of Juneau. Fresh Alaska seafood with an incredible backdrop, awesome!!! The place was packed with visitors from everywhere, and the service was great. A fun, casual stop and definitely a Juneau experience worth trying! read more

First of all let me just say WOW. Do not let the prices deter you from visiting this restaurant. Besides the king crab, there are lower cost options that are phenomenal. Our table ordered one pound of the king crab special that also came with a claw. It was AMAZING. They gave you these great crab cutters that they also let you take home with you. Our waitress was on point when she washed them and brought them back to us. SUPERB service. We also ordered crab bisque, crab sliders, and fried shrimp. The bisque was DELICIOUS. It rivaled the lobster bisque I enjoy on the coast of Maine.... Dare I say even better. The shrimp was fried perfectly and the coleslaw on the crab sliders was SO GOOD. The ambiance is cool. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you and announce the state you live in. It was fun hearing from where everyone was visiting from. I was skeptical that such a hyped up spot would live up to my expectations but I was WRONG. It far exceeded my expectations. This place is a MUST. read more

We got the medium Red King bucket, 3 crab bisques, and mini crab cakes and paid a little over $400 after tax and the credit card surcharge. Overall I thought it was good, but the price is what makes it hard for me to fully love it. The crab legs are huge and definitely easier to get the meat out, which I liked. The crab itself was good, but for me it was just missing a little more flavor to justify that kind of price. The crab bisque was ok and I felt like it needed a little hot sauce. Crab cakes were also ok. I'm glad we tried it and I can see why it's popular if you're stopping in Juneau and want to do the king crab thing at least once. For me this is probably more of a one and done spot. Good experience, but I'm not sure it's worth spending close to $400 again when I think there are better values out there. read more

The hype is real! I can definitely see why this place is so popular. The biggest thing that impressed me was how incredibly fast and efficient the service was. Even if the line looks long, don't let that scare you away--you'll get your food surprisingly quickly. One thing to keep in mind: the Golden Crab comes with only one piece of crab, so I always go with the Snow Crab instead. You get about five legs, which makes it a much better value in my opinion. Everything else we tried was delicious, even the pulled pork. I honestly wasn't expecting much from it, but it was incredibly flavorful and ended up being one of my favorite items. Overall, the food lived up to the hype, the service was outstanding, and I'd definitely come back! read more

Our travel agent recommended Tracy's. I love crab so we decided to try it. It is located right next to the cruise docks. We had to wait in line about 30 minutes to place our order. They have their system down to a science. Once we ordered we found seats right away. The food came out quickly considering how long it took to place the order. We both had the combination plates. They included crab bisque, crabcakes, a roll and crab legs. I chose the golden king crab, and my husband chose the snow crab. I like the king crab better than the snow crab. Although the serving size was not as large, the crab meat was more firm and flavorful. I grew up eating Dungeness crab in the San Francisco area so I have high expectations. I felt the golden king crab was as tasty. The crab bisque had a nice flavor. It was creamy and had chunks of crab in it. The crab cakes were ok. The sauce that accompanies them helped their flavor. Out bill with drinks was $165. Crab is a must have when in Alaska and Tracy's serves it quickly and efficiently. read more

Was it expensive? Yes. Was it still worth it? Yes. Amazing, juicy, huge king crab legs! A tasty warm and savory bisque with a side white rice. As a crab leg loving family, it was everything we were hoping for and one of the highlights of our time in Juneau. Even though the line looked long, the service was speedy and we were luckily able to get a table outside fairly quickly. Would definitely go back! read more

This was our first time. We always noticed the long lines for this restaurant. The lines snake out of the restaurant all day long even in the rain. We all ordered the combo in the $90 dollar range per person. The soup is hot and delicious and the crab cake too. The crab with hot garlic rolls is so good. Somehow it is worth the money. If you have never gone you should go. It's a tradition in Alaska. I'll be back. read more

This time we were able to port at Juneau on time and was able to get off and go to Tracy's Crab Shack. We lined up around 9am and the places open at 9:30 even though the sign said 10am. The line moved quick and we were able to get a seat inside. We went with the red and golden crab to see what the difference was besides the price! The red crab was definitely better in terms of taste. The price is ridiculous as the red crab was $90 for a leg and the golden crab was $65 per leg. Since we were here, we had to eat it though. We also got a cup of the crab bisque. It was good and what made it better was putting more crab into it! The bread was realistically just a Hawaiian roll with a little garlic butter. There wasn't enough garlic taste for our liking. We told our friend to make a little crab sandwich with her roll. read more

I was on a cruise trip and came to Juneau to try this restaurant, which I had been hearing about for a long time. The day I arrived, it was a rainy day, but the line to Tracy's Kong Crab Shack was long. However, the line moved quickly, and our group was able to find a seat. We ordered the extra-large bunker with some crab cakes. Wow, the taste was amazing. The crab legs were huge with lots of meat, and the crab cake was delicious. When we received our order, we were missing some claws, and the server was very accommodating in following up to make it right. The place was packed, and there was only one restroom, which made it hard to use if you were in a hurry. read more

Definitely one of the popular spots in town! The line was out the door, but the wait wasn't long at all, they really keep things moving. The staff was extremely friendly throughout the experience. I ordered the crab cakes, and they were delicious. The rest of my family went with the crab legs; just a heads-up that they are quite expensive, so be prepared to spend a little more if you go that route! read more

I went here the other day and be prepared, it's busy. You order at the front, pick up your drinks and then sit down. They call out your name to find you and bring your meal to you. I ordered the half Dungeness crab which came with 2 rolls. It was good but nothing spectacular. I got their Alaskan Kolsch beer which was very tasty. The ambience is better on the inside rather there outside picnic tables. If I go again I would try the king crab.... read more

Hello from Juneau Alaska, Jen & I are on vacation aboard the Emerald Princess, we did a Glacier Tour this afternoon and with a bit of hiking & walking around in Juneau we were ready for dinner, many spots to choose from but Tracy's King Crab Shack is what we decided on, so off we went and glad we decided on Tracy's, Jen did the ordering and Wow she did great on her choices for dinner, the food was amazing, the shrimp was delicious as well as the crab cakes, French fries were perfectly cooked & crispy and seasoned just right, the Cole slaw was good as well, our server was nice and helpful with a few questions we had.

We just had a red king crab leg, big claw and small claw. It was delicious. Cooked perfectly and meaty, the flavor was robust. The drawn butter made it taste even more succulent. We got there at 950am and we were eating by 1005am. The brunch idea allows for easy access and getting a table It's a fun looking place and we enjoyed our meal. It's pricey but so is everything else right now. If you're going to complain about the price, then don't eat here. If you are okay paying the price, it's worth it. read more

I am sure other people who enjoy king crab would give this place a higher rating, but I personally do not eat much sea food, so I am writing this review from my parents' perspective. In their eyes, the crab was as previously mentioned by many others, off the chart expensive and the line to get in was about 45 minutes. Idk if I would come here again, (given I can get chicken tenders elsewhere for significantly less money) but I'd say it's worth trying this place at least once, if just for the hype. read more

We only had the crab chowder, but it was very good. I have a hard time paying the prices for the king crab it's just not a crab. I am willing to put that much work into so I chose the chowder instead, and it did not disappoint be warned. It is a very touristy place. You may be able to find something better, but I do believe all the prices on the crab legs are high. read more

The food here is terrible. This place is an overall scam. I was wanting the giant crab. I did not get giant crab. Instead I got a Petite sized clusters for a huge price. Back at home it's way cheaper at the outside markets. This food had no spice. I not like it. The sever lady was very rude she would not give me a refill I asked her to many times. I do not recommend this place they are slow rude and this place is a overall tourist trap scam read more

What decadence to get to order both and do a taste test! read more

YUMMMMY! Talk about some of the best bites we've ever had. Being big crab lovers, we knew we had to stop by Tracy's for that Alaskan king crab and were glad we did. All the staff were friendly and very helpful bringing around extra butter and helping people find seating. Make sure you place your order before finding a seat! We were told red king crab season October to April so the legs were flash frozen so we knew we wanted to get some of the fresh Norton sound crab. Although a bit smaller in size the sweetness was absolutely mouthwatering. Will admit these guys are pretty prickly, and will make you work for your bite it's worth every arm wrestle for that meaty morsel. We opted for the crab shack combo with the red king crab which came with 4 crab cakes, and bisque. The bisque was tomato-y and sweet, yummm. The crab cakes were crispy and delicious, we thought the shrimps were large but not something you must try on the menu. We ordered 2lbs of the Norton Sound crab which was delicious and some of the best crab we've had read more

If you're questioning paying $85/lb for Alaskan King crab.... just DO IT! It's so worth it... I still dream about this crab. That first bite was so gooooood I wish I could eat it again.. and again and again. The best and the largest king crab I've ever had. We walked away from the main port area to go see the whale statue and on the way back we stopped by here and so glad we did instead of going to their original location where the lines were soooo long and it would have been a very long wait. This location I feel like is just as good with more space and less or no wait. Highly recommend!! It is a MUST EAT while you're in Juneau. Please don't miss it!!!! read more

Food and staff were great! First visit was 1st week in May 2024. Red king crab legs were $75 per pound.

We purchased a 6 leg & 2 claw bucket that I estimate is roughly 4 lbs of crab for $590! That is about $150 per lb. 4 star review is due to the price, otherwise a 5 star review. read more
