    Went on a cruise to Alaska and this place ended up being the restaurant we recommend the most out of all the ports we went to! Definitely come to this location if you want to skip the lines. We went to the location on the dock which was packed, so we just walked about 15 mins to this spot. We did not have to wait in any lines and the food was very fast! It's a cute little spot with plenty of seating and outdoor heaters. We got the combo- crab bisque, Alaskan red crab legs, crab cake and butter/bread rolls for $98. An amazing deal compared to many other crab places, and the food did not disappoint. The crab had TONS of meat and was so delicious my mouth is still watering!

    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 ordered the snow crab and Dungeness crab as well to try it and they were both good! (obviously much cheaper) and you definitely compare it to the king crab but I would recommend skipping the snow crab and trying the dungeness crab more. The crab comes with these delicious butter breads and their other appetizers were yummy as well. 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. I also enjoyed the vibe of this spot more cus it's outdoors with covered and heated tents. It just felt very outdoorsy & the view was great! The staff was so friendly and helpful as well!! Such kind souls! Highly recommend!! It is a MUST EAT while you're in Juneau. Please don't miss it!!!!

    Lots of fun eating at this place that we ended up going there for all 3 dinners while in Juneau. Tracy 2 feels nicer and less crowded, we walked there one night and drove there the second time. Tip: they start out giving you just 2 garlic roll, but you can tell the "runners" to give you more. You can also request for 4 at time of order and they'll start you off with that.

    Tracy's King Crab Shack #2 is everything I ever imagined about eating king crab in Alaska. It was sooo good with no lines and the best staff. When I found out I was taking a cruise to Alaska, I looked up all the best places to eat and Tracy's was at the top of the list. I knew my time would be short in Juneau, and luckily shack #2 (10 minute walk from original Tracy's) just opened for the summer. This location has outside eating with tent covering looking out to the ocean. Tammy the manager was so nice in helping us. We ordered the 3 lb Red King Crab bucket with Cole slaw and buns, mini crab cakes, crab bisque, and Alaskan Amber. Everything was so fresh, so tasty, and I have to say the Red King crab was the sweetest juiciest crab I think I've ever had! I didn't even need the hot butter that came with it. I'm back in Los Angeles, but I'm dreaming of Tracy's Red King Crab. Make this your first stop when visiting Juneau, I promise you work regret it.

    We went to the "alternate" location, MORE than a 7 minute walk. It does have the same menu, has a very "clambake" vibe with big tents and picnic tables. Crabs were a bit pricey but because it's so rich, the 3 crab legs, battered shrimp, rolls, crab cakes and soup was enough to share with the kids and the wife. We also got some French fries on the side. Very friendly staff. I'd recommend this place for individuals who just want a consistent, good quality meal.

    Some of the best king crab I have eaten. You order your food then sit down and it is brought to your table. A little advice, get some paper towels to hold the King crab. It will help keep your hands from getting cut. You eat at tables in a tent. They have a spot for large groups that can be reserved. The sampler with crab cakes, rolls, chowder, and crab legs was enough for two of us.

    Crab cake roll and crab bisque
    Jennifer H.

    We tried the crab cake roll and the crab bisque. The crab cake roll had a little bit of actual crab meat, so that was tasty. The crab cakes in the roll had mostly breading versus crab. The crab cake roll overall didn't wow me. I personally didn't like the crab bisque since it was on the sour side. There was a line when we visited, but it moved relatively quickly.

    Here's how it's done...

    Thank you Fejie for making this the best memory for me and my family in Alaska!!! Your generosity and beautiful soul will never be forgotten!! We walked to this second location for some crab legs are we're not disappointed!!! The manager, Fejie, gave us some advice on what to order. We did exactly as she said and the kids LOVED IT!! Plenty of benches to sit. Food was prepared fresh and efficiently. Fejie made sure to give us the best experience at Tracy's and we are definitely coming back!! Juneau was one of our stops on the Princess Cruise. And out of the 11 day cruise, the kids said this was one of the best experiences they had!! And that is saying a lot!! Please let Fejie know I sent you!! Enjoy!!

    We've been to the original Tracy's, the storefront Tracy's downtown and now this one built to resemble the original, just 1/2 mile further down the pier than the original one was. Same process: order at the counter, get your drinks (alcohol and non-alcohol), find a seat and wait until they bring your meal to you. Prices have changed dramatically though! The menu is pretty varied but crab is still the main focus. Combo #1 is the leading order by far; 1.5lbs of either Red King, Dungeness, or Snow crab, 4 small crab cakes, small roll, cup Of Crab Bisque. Drinks are extra. Food arrives piping hot, right out of the steamer. The crab is wrapped in waterproof paper that drips when opened, be careful! Everything else is served in paper containers. I measure the food as crab then everything else. Crab was much smaller than the "old days" the weight measure used to mean one very large crab leg, and maybe one other smaller leg. Today's order comes with about 5-6 small legs and this is important because the smaller legs have very little meat at all so you are paying for basically empty shell. The red king is not nearly as good as the old king crab with the bright orange color. It was good, but nowhere near great. Everything else was good as expected. It is sad to see an innovator and very successful concept lower themselves to much smaller portions and sizes. I'm depressed as this will end up as my last visit as paying $250 for a meal for two served on paper, on old wooden picnic tables, is no longer an "experience" but just another money making scheme. My final point is why would you ask for a tip at the register before anyone has seen or tasted your product? That leaves the woman taking the order that punches in a half dozens numbers into a tablet. My inadvertent press of the 15% tip button cost me $30 for a ten second interaction.

    We came here ten years ago, and today's experience was just as good. This location is further from the ship so there's less people and its open seating inside a covered structure. It's about a 15-20 minute walk from the cruise terminal. There's little food trucks where you order your drinks, food, and pick up your meal. It helps divert the lines and also gives it kind of a trailer park / food truck park feel. We ordered the typical set of food that has a bit of everything. And, at the end of the day we were full and very happy. The crab legs were smooth, fresh, and sweet. The crab cakes were also crispy, flavorful, and scrumptious. We also enjoyed a beer with our meal. Note that the food is quite expensive and it's not only about the freshness of the food, but also the experience. It's casual and fun, and probably one of the best (yet priciest) meals you'll eat for crab legs at a restaurant. Afterwards, you can rinse your hands off and wash them at a watering station.

    We may be the unlucky ones, but the 3 lbs crabs legs we had were all overcooked, dried, and did not taste fresh. We were disappointed and not getting what the hype was all about. Maybe we were unlucky cus it wasn't busy when we got there so we got the leftover ones that been sitting there for a while? I would not recommend - or maybe the original store would be better.

    Absolutely amazing!!! Our friends who had been to Juneau suggested we bypass the extremely busy Tracy's on the wharf as it gets packed when cruise ships come into town, and they were so right. #2 is the best! A 10 minute walk through town to find this amazing setting where the locals also visit for the most amazing fresh crab and great beer. We ordered too much for 2 of us but still ate it:) Suggest the following local caught crab Snow crab - more mild Golden crab - saltier and much more flavor Red crab - most balanced and maybe our favorite Chowder - just so amazing, a must Crab cakes - really fresh and tasty Also the crab cracking tool is the best and easiest we've ever used so we had to buy some as well as some great merch. People were very friendly, and service prompt. It is very fresh crab so expect to pay for it, but just awesome!!

    We went to the original location which is about a 10-15 minute walk from the main cruise ship pier. I recommend this location for the true feel of Tracy's King Crab Shack. You will wait in line to order and then have a seat where they will bring the food to you. They will walk and call your name as well as where you are from. You still order from the original "Order Shack" which is a small 8x10 building. They still ring the bell to drop more baskets when a long crab bucket is ordered. We had beautiful weather during our visit so we sat outside. I had the crab cake roll and fries. The crab was delicious but the mini crab cakes on the roll were amazing! Everyone took care of us and the walk was well worth our lunch. I recommend going to Tracy's when in port.

    A tourist from San Diego…read more Came her on a Wednesday night in early fall! The place was rocking! And the karyoking was non stopping! Hit this place up if you like to sing and be entertained!

    While the hotel's location is excellent - right in the heart of Juneau's tourist area -…read moreunfortunately, that was the only positive aspect of our stay. The convenience of the location simply does not outweigh the poor hospitality and lack of customer care we experienced. I normally enjoy supporting small independent businesses like this one, but this stay has made me seriously rethink where I choose to spend my money going forward. Having stayed in both luxury hotels and unique properties with character, I know that basic professionalism and genuine guest care should be standard regardless of price or style. Disliked · Upon our arrival to this property we made our way to our room only to discover it was not the Family Loft with two queen beds we had specifically booked. Instead, we were given a room with one queen bed and a pull-out couch. When I returned to the front desk, I was told the booked room was occupied by a long-term tenant and unavailable. While I understand availability issues can arise, the hotel had been in direct contact with me through the booking platform's messaging system prior to our arrival and never mentioned this problem. It appeared they chose not to inform us, likely to prevent us from canceling. The pull-out couch was in poor condition, making it impossible for our adult family member to get a decent night's sleep. The queen bed was also uncomfortable, with our feet elevated in an awkward position. The window was broken and OPEN at least 2 inches. We did not expect a luxury resort, but we did expect the room type we reserved. Most concerning was the staff's response. Rather than showing empathy or offering solutions, they became defensive, blaming the booking company and stating the room had been unavailable for weeks. Since I booked December 6th, this lack of notification wasted our time and created unnecessary inconvenience. I politely requested compensation for just one night due to the inconvenience, which I believe was more than reasonable. Unfortunately, the hotel made no effort to resolve the situation or make things right despite my several follow-ups. Prospective guests should be aware: while the location may seem convenient, the poor communication, room inaccuracies, and indifferent customer service made this a frustrating experience we would not repeat. To make matters worse, the hotel was crazy loud until 3am due to the bar adjacent to the property, making rest nearly impossible. We will be visiting Juneau several times a year in the coming years with August 2026 being our next stay, sadly we cannot support this small business.
