12 Best American Restaurants in Ketchikan

“Great steak, even better service.“

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome!“

“Ketchikan Crab & Co. was the perfect escape from the Alaskan rain. Their clam chowder hit the spot—super hearty, packed with flavor, and full of tasty fixings in a rich, creamy base. It warmed me right up and was exactly what I needed after getting off the ship. Definitely a must-stop if you’re in town, rain or shine!“

“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 whole place had such a welcoming atmosphere.

The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. Sometimes the simple, local places end up being the most memorable.

If you’re in Ketchikan and looking for a good meal and friendly service, this spot is definitely worth stopping into.“

“Really enjoyed the chicken sandwich—definitely one of the best I’ve had in town. Everything else we ordered was tasty too!“

“AJ's has the best burgers in town. I love that you can order online. They have a great selection of super yummy burgers, and they have a pretty much perfect classic burger. On a nice day, there's nothing better than getting a burger and a shake and sitting at their picnic table to watch the ocean.“

“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.“

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

“We love the Cafe's ever changing weekend brunch menu. We're in Ketchikan every few months (hope to move there soon), and we always stop there for brunch. If the Korean Street Toast is on the menu, don't hesitate, it's amazing. Great staff, great quality, and A+ for creativity of the menu.Food & drinks: So many delicious items on the menu. It is impossible to make a bad choice!“

“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.“

“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!“
