8 Best Burger Restaurants in Ketchikan

“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!“

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

“Alaska Fish House wears its intentions plainly, and that’s part of the charm. This is a place built around locally caught Alaska seafood. There is a burger and a simple spring mix salad on standby, but if seafood isn’t your goal, you’re probably better off elsewhere. If it is, you’re in very good hands.

The fish was impeccably fresh and cooked just right. The batter, light with a noticeable panko crunch, struck that rare balance of crisp without overwhelming the fish. Fries came seasoned in their house blend that leans Cajun or Seafood Magic, and the slaw tilted toward a Carolina-style bite rather than creamy heaviness. The fish tacos were solid, though the rice was well past tender into mushy territory. The chowder, however, was a standout: rich, herbaceous, comforting, and exactly what you want if you visit on a chilly day in October.

Set right on the water, the space is open and easygoing, with outdoor seating that shines on a nice day and even a private room for group dining that looks straight into the open kitchen. It’s a counter-service setup, so things move quickly and without fuss. The staff was friendly and genuinely engaging, happy to guide you through the menu without rushing you through the experience.

Alaska Fish House doesn’t try to be everything to everyone. If fresh fish is what you’re chasing in Ketchikan, this one’s a reliable, satisfying stop.“

“After a week of blah cruise ship food, we found the 108 Tap House. The burgers were delicious! I had the Elk Burger, it was cooked perfectly, not over done or dry. The house made Pickles added a tasty crunch. The French fries were thick and well seasoned. The restaurant was full of locals and tourists, but the service was quick and polite. I highly recommend them!“

“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!!“

“❤️ I absolutely love the ham burger perfectly seasoned and the hot fries fresh and amazing!!“

“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.“

“very friendly Service but they ALWAYS forget something you ordered. today it was one of our orders of fries and our straws and last time it was two burgers. Yes they have been friendly and yes they Always forget something from our orders. So check and make sure you have everything you ordered before you leave.“
