9 Best American Restaurants in Ketchikan

“Great steak, even better service.“

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

“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!“

“Cool little burger shack on Tongass Ave. Came to town for work, and was itching for a burger. It was closest to the airport. Burger and fries were absolutely phenomenal, and the staff were nice! Order at the window and they bring it out to your car. Honestly one of the best burgers I've had in all of Alaska. If I come back to Ketch, I will be a repeat. You should too. Keep your standards high AJ's. It's an unexpected treat!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
