Timbers Restaurant & Lounge American •
16707 N Tongass Hwy, Ketchikan

“Good place for dinner with great views! We were renting a house down the road and came here for dinner on our last night. The atmosphere was really great, they had a nice bar/lounge area in the front and the dining room had panoramic views of the water and surrounding mountains. They have a really great cocktail/wine/beer menu - plenty of variety to choose from. The food menu was great as well and had a wide variety of seafood and meats. A few of us ordered their braised short ribs, which were fantastic, and the others ordered the salmon and halibut - which they said was always cooked very well. Everything was paired with great side dishes that complimented the main meal. Our server was super friendly which made for a nice experience. After dinner we grabbed another drink and sat outside on their patio, which overlooked the water just like the restaurant and had a few games you could play (chess, jenga). We weren’t staying at the resort so we walked around a little and there was a really cool waterfall just below the restaurant by the water’s edge. Definitely check that out, it did not disappoint. Overall, this was a really nice experience and when we come back, Timbers will most certainly be on our list again!“

The Diner at The Landing American • $$
3434 Tongass Ave, Ketchikan

“What a fantastic find for a delicious breakfast in Ketchikan! We did not stay at the Landings but visited their diner for breakfast on our last day in Ketchikan before catching our flight to return home. My husband and I shared the Denver omelette which came with hashbowns and then we subbed out the toast for a scrumptious pancake. There was a lot of options and we were very pleased with our selections. Our server was awesome and brought out our plates having split the meal for us already! We were able to add on sour cream and salsa and our server easily accommodated our requests. We loved the coffee and the warm, welcoming vibe. Wish we would have discovered this diner earlier into our visit as we would have visited multiple times. Loved this place for breakfast!“

“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.“
