Soup in Ketchikan

“We ate here VERY early in the season, so I assume they were still getting up to speed. There were only two people working. One gentleman who was hosting/running the front desk while trying to meet drink orders and communicating orders to the kitchen. And one in the kitchen who also served as food runner when orders were ready.

They only had tables setup in the very front of the room and a couple along the sides. The entire back-half of the room near the bar - as well as the bar itself - was empty. So, seating was limited. That might have been a good thing considering how understaffed they were.

With that said, while a little slow (understandably), the service was fantastic. Very friendly and as prompt as circumstances would allow.

As for the food... WOW! While in Alaska, we just had to try Alaskan King Crab (something we just cannot get in the Midwest U.S.). It was expensive, which seems a little counterintuitive given the locale, and I will say we were skeptical when a single claw came out. $60+ (which is cheaper than I've seen in some of the photos here) for a single claw. But, there was SO much meat in that. We were pulling hunks of crab meat out the size of a hotdog. And SO delicious. Indescribably good.

It came it a half-ear of corn. Sorry, the Midwest has you beat on corn. It was okay, but not near as good as what we grow down the street. Again, TOTALY understandable.

We did split a bowl of clam chowder as well, and it was also very good. Not Boston seaport good, but it was good.

All in all, this was well worth the stop. I'd scoped out a couple other places I knew we'd be stopping on our trip in Alaska, and prices for King Crab were pretty much in the ballpark with Krabby Krab. So, we checked that off our list.

Thanks for a wonderful experience! We hope to be back some day.“
