Restaurants in Ketchikan

“wonderful brews and atmosphere”

“5 stars “Water so good it should be illegal!” Okay, I know this sounds dramatic—but the water at The Asylum is next-level. I don’t know what kind of filtration sorcery they’re using, but it’s crisp, cold, and honestly the best water I’ve ever had in my life. Like, if you told me it was bottled straight from a glacier blessed by monks, I’d believe you. But let’s talk about the real star here: Ciarra. She served the water like it was a fine wine. Perfect pour, perfect temperature, and she somehow made me feel like drinking water was a five-star experience. Friendly, attentive, and had the kind of vibe that makes you feel like you’ve been friends for years. I came for a drink, stayed for the hydration, and left wondering if I could tip someone just for bringing me H2O. (Spoiler: I did.) If you go to The Asylum and don’t ask for Ciarra’s water service… did you even really go?”

“I always have such a spectacular time bringing my group of friends and family over! If I’m celebrating a reunion, anniversary, or birthdays your crew never disappoint! I’m a local myself, the different platter of food and drinks are extremely flavorful compared to what I’m used to! 🥰🥂”

“Great food, the seasoning is excellent! We have had one of everything over the last 12 days. Spectacular guys!!! Very friendly and personable! Super convenient location!! I highly recommend! We are looking forward to seeing you guys again when we come back!”

“There could be no better location for a dive bar with an attached liquor store. It is smack dab in the middle of the crew ship docks. People coming off the ships gravitate right to it and one never knows what kind of crowd is going to be in there at any time. One of the evenings I thought the place was full of guys, but it was just a group of gals from a lesbian cruise on Holland American. The staff is wonderful, and they do their best to keep people happy. Quite often, one of the bartenders or servers will bring in a crockpot full of something delicious and they put that on the table. Everyone gets a bowl and there’s no charge for it. The walls are covered in Alaska history. I’ve never seen bigger fish,worse shipwrecks, grizzlier lumberjacks or anything that compares to the pictures on the walls there. The prices are very reasonable for Ketchikan. There is a lot of local color in there too as it is a watering hole for a lot of the locals. They have the answer all their questions and I guarantee that they are very willing to share their knowledge with you. So, when you go there, don’t forget to stop at the Sourdough.

Vegetarian options: Are you kidding ? Unless you were thinking about the peanuts and potato chips behind the bar, don’t think about this.

Parking: If you have a 3000 passenger ship, there is adequate parking. Other than that, you don’t have a chance.

Kid-friendliness: I don’t think it’s a place to bring your kids. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just a place for adults.

Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is on one level and they will be more than accommodating for anyone that needs any kind of help. That’s the kind of people they are.”

“We had an amazing experience here enjoying the local brews! The brew master made a point to talk with us about the beers...it was evident that he puts his heart & soul into his craft! This was one one our very favorite experiences in Alaska! Highly recommend!”

“We've now been here 3 times, and every time feels like we're in our hometown bar. Absolutely love this place! If you need any recommendations, Paula's got you covered.”

“This place was highly rated, so we decided to check it out before a fishing excursion and it did not disappoint!

Some of the best fish and chips we've ever had, and it was very cool to eat dockside.

The fish was so fresh and the service was fast!”

“My husband and I order takeout El Niño fajitas regularly. We have had the El Niño fajitas
over 50 times! I have got to say the batch we ordered today were the BEST they have ever been!! Big shoutout to whoever was cooking in the kitchen this afternoon on August 23!!”

“Best mocha in Ketchikan so far - it was hot, chocolaty, and tasted like coffee!”

“Everyone we talked with mentioned the Eagle's nest for pizza. They were right. The food was good; the view was spectacular. The eagles were around. The pizza was great. They had a great crust. And the oven made it taste so good. We even had the baked Alaska (which isn't actually an Alaskan dish, but was made to honor Alaska joining the US). Either way it was delicious!”

“I got there BBQ chicken pizza last night and man was it amazing!!THAT CRUST IS THE BEST IVE HAD IN THIS TOWN! So all I’m saying is you should give it the ole college try! I will be back for more soon thank you and keep up the good work!!!”

“these guys are incredible. seeing that they're reopening this year is by far the best news I've heard in a while.”

“Best local experience. highly reccomend.”

“Excellent bartender!! Elizabeth pours a mean Moscow Mule, and the Polar Bear Piss and the Corona Sunrise are a do not miss! Wonderful atmosphere!!”

“Wow! The Ahi tuna poke world is to die for ! I was going to bring it for lunch but felt the need to have a quick bite and now I can't stop eating it ! Thankyou so much 😊😊😊😊 ps. I can't wait to try the fireweed handmade soap and the smoked silver king! 🖤”

“Do, I used the app for a specific order and the staff obviously didn’t read it. I’ve done this before with success , not today . And of course I didn’t check it before I got to the office.”

“B&D is great! Food and coffee alike. excellent and friendly service”

“Food was solid, everything we ordered we were happy with.
If you get the sweet potato fries order some extra sauce.
Got chocolate milkshake, cheeseburger, AJ Burger, fried chicken burger, lemonade, and iced tea.

Eating benches were a bit worn but fit the atmosphere. The road was being worked but once that's finished it will be a lot nicer entry.”

“Amazing food, great service and love the atmosphere! As a local, I can’t say enough good things about your brunch specials during the “local season “ 😆”

“Their americanos are the BEST in town! ☕”

“The atmosphere was amazing! Talking to Janet (mom of owner and manager) was absolutely the best! We felt like we were one of the locals when we left! Coffee was delicious! A must visit local coffee shop!”

“Delicioso!!! La mejor crema de almeja que jamás probé!!!!”

“Great customer service and delicious food. Very filling too.”

“A friend took me here for lunch yesterday. The food was excellent!”

“Here on a cruise stop and decided to eat breakfast locally. It was two days after a landslide and the service and food were A+.

Food & drinks: This was a must local stop.”

“Cool little bar with great pizza. Stopped in a few times & had the same bartender each time. Last time there 3/12/2022 and it will be my last time. The bartender has no business being in customer service. She was my employee, well, she wouldn't be my employee. Enough said”

“Miss me thank you thank you had a wonderful time with friends! Service was great and the waitress was fantastic also the food was delicious and prepared with perfection!

Wheelchair accessibility: Street level”

“Amazing restaurant!! The place itself, like the decoration, the location, the variety of wine and beer. Those “dungees” yum! Super cool. The employees displayed dedicated attention and courtesy. Loved it! See you soon again guys. ??”

“Very friendly, very old-fashioned diner. Great atmosphere and friendly people. Look like mostly locals and not tourist here. Large breakfast menu, which I can’t wait to try.”

“Just good food that seems hasn’t changed in 40 years”

“First time ever eating at TacoTime and it was really, really good!!!!!! The employees were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure our experience was a good one! We are visiting from Tennessee. If we lived here, we would be here often!”

“Great stuff”

“Honestly, William earned these five stars! He was awesome, friendly, great service, just a pleasant person to interact with.
The food and atmosphere were OK but William sent it over the top.
I spent an entire week in Ketchikan and NEVER experienced the service and attitude he shared with every patron.”

“The owners are great and always provide excellent service, I only go here everyday.”

“Stopped for lunch on our port day - friendly service and great views. Check Facebook page for daily special - the pork sliders were the special of the day and fantastic! Very flavorful and filling.”

“Great food great service great delivery! Highly recommend”

“Went there a couple years ago, and they had gluten free crepes. Best crepes I’ve ever had! Next time I come to Ketchikan it will be one of my first stops!”

“We really enjoyed our meal and the service was great!!”

“Rachel was our server and she did an amazing job. The food was very good, the environment was comfortable and service top notch. Thank you Rachel!”

“Literally 30 feet from my hotel room on the 2nd floor so ate here frequently. Overall great atmosphere for a local bar feeling. Staff was mostly great, best was 'Cyra' (sp?). Some of the food was fantastic, including the hummus and chicken wings. But the chowder, and the Greek wrap were bland. Three nights in a row didn't have the rubber, which is a bit weird to advertise something you don't have.”
