20 Best American Restaurants in Juneau

“This place deserves all the business they get. Always friendly smiling faces. Amazing food and desserts. I'm addicted“

“Nice place for dinner with a great view of the water and surrounding mountains! We didn’t have a reservation (hint - make a reservation), but the woman at the front was very organized and efficient and got us in within 30 minutes. Great service, beer selection, and menu options - the blackened halibut tacos did not disappoint!“

“Most amazing blueberry ice cream!“

“Gold Creek Salmon Bake exceeded all expectations. It was one of the best parts of our Alaska vacation.“

“Best burgers in town! Their specials are also amazing! Sadly their fries are pretty bad, usually somehow soggy and burned at the same time, but their AMAZING pucker sauce makes them still enjoyable.“

“It was my first time there and I will be back. I had the Mongolian beef and it was delicious. Some fried rice would’ve been better for me, but I guess that’s a personal preference. The people are absolutely outstanding. Very friendly talkative. I will be back to try something else on their menu.“

“Awesome beer and great food.“

“Food was great. Service impeccable. Cocktails delicious. Goat cheese with fig is enough for 4 people. The filet was tender and the wine a great match. But I went for my 50th birthday and somehow that information didn’t make it to the staff. I was not acknowledged at all nor did they even ask if we were celebrating anything special. Given the low attendance and high cost of the food I would have expected better. But a minor miscue on an otherwise exceptional meal. Alas, no reason to go back to Juneau but still worth the trip if you’re there and looking for an alternative to the standard fare in town.“

“Great place had a great time ! Staff was amazing 🤩“

“They best food truck food in Juneau ❤️ Garlic Truffle fried are the bomb, with the Garlic moyo dip! a must try. The Smash Bergers are amazing!!“

“Wonderful food and fast service“

“We love The Hot Bite! We just wish it was open year round!“

“The Timberline Bar and Grill is located on Mount Roberts in Juneau. One rides the Goldbelt Tram up to the restaurant. They offer American food, and a full bar, as well as Seafood and are Vegetarian and kid-friendly. The views are of the Gastineau Channel in front and mountain waterfalls in back, from the outside patio. There is a lovely gift shop and clean restrooms.
This is a seasonal restaurant, closing at the end of October and reopening in April. Hours are subject to change due to weather conditions, but in the summer, they are usually open from 8-9. During the season, the restaurant offers live music and is available for private events.
One orders from the printed menu at the counter and pays before eating. Table service sets and condiments re self-serve. The food is then brought to your table.
We enjoyed our chili bread bowls. Both the chili and the bread-bowl were tasty; the chili was hot but not too spicy, and the bread-bowl was fresh. We felt that the portion size was a bit small.
I would recommend this place. The tram ride up was fun, and the restaurant was charming. It is accessible from the tram or one may hike up and ride down. Season Passes are available.
The tram base location is at the main cruise dock on Franklin St., and tickets may be purchased there.“

“Absolutely the fastest and most comprehensive service I’ve ever had at any eatery ever. I was kind stunned by it. Food was good, prices expensive like everywhere in Juneau. Service was amazing“

“Best Fish n chips ever!!!“

“As a Juneauite, I get bummed every year when they close. Had the puff pastry salmon and escalloped potatoes today, had the garlic twisters last week- they hit every time. Going back for dessert soon. Lovely staff and it’s a great spot. Highly recommend!!“

“A home away from home , love everyone here .❤️❤️“

“We were asked to sit anywhere, but then no one came around for another 10 min. The younger wait staff seems hesitant in serving us, finally the one who could be the manager came around and took our orders, dont get me wrong, they were all very polite, but not super attentive. Anyways, the Halibut and chips was OK, super thick and heavy batter, but good flavor. The burger was great, a bit overcooked, but blue cheese and bacon saved it. We also ordered a side salad, they brought us a cesar salad instead, we didn't send it back since we also like Cesar salad.“

“So you’re telling me there is an ale house in the woods? How does everyone not know about this you say? Because it’s the coolest thing you’ve ever run into. Yes the beers are $10 billion each, but did I mention it’s a ale house in the middle of the woods? All kidding aside it’s a really cool place. Definitely check out. The trails up here are phenomenal. You take the gold belt tram to get up to the – well worth your time even if you’re just in for a cruise ship visit.“

“The Buffalo Chicken Blue sandwich is amazing. Seriously. It was so good that we went back a couple days later to eat it again. The most memorable food item on our entire trip to Juneau. Hmmm…I wonder if I have enough airline miles to go back just for dinner?“
