The fish & chips were AMAZING, I'm trying to duplicate the recipe in case anyone can help! The service was excellent though the poor waitress was a tad frazzled, still FAST!

Great hallibut fish and chips..staff was hard working and very pleasant. Lots of tables for the number of wait staff, but they did great. I would get at least one more sever to help. That aside you need to go!

No gluten free bun. No gluten free options except a salad. Long, long wait time. People are no help...if your party is hungry and you are the only one that is Celiac, this is a medical diet...not a casual choice....plan on lettuce, banana peppers, blue cheese, little chopped up tomatoes and a few tiny bits of ham, and one hard boiled egg. Now if that is what you went for...then I guess you will love it there. But to be RIGHT next to the docks without any options for gf sea food... or anything besides salad...I will have to say they are missing the boat. No comment from the rest of my party regarding their food. And after standing in line for 45 minutes, we weren't about to turn around and walk out just because of me. So please just be forewarned. Don't go if you need to eat gluten free unless you want a salad!!

Delicious food, good beer, and amazing seafood chowder. Callie is also an amazing waitress. I think she was single-handedly serving everyone at the restaurant.

Stopped here for lunch during cruise stop. I ordered cod fish and chips. I got salad bowl with 3 breaded fish sticks and fries. Other guy in our group ordered same thing. He got basket with 4 breaded fish sticks. Asked waiter if I got kids meal. He angrily said no, said other guy got extra. Extra terrible words. After my $5.00 tip for sorry food and service he tore out receipt and threw it at me. Man what a tourist trap!!

instantly was seated and serviced very quickly. ordered the cod and sweet potatoe fries and caesar salad. came out quick and cod and fries were exceptional. crispy hot and tasty. very happy. Caesar salad was average as extras cost more. no free wifi 😢

Not the worst, but I recommend visitors look elsewhere for a better value.

04SEP2025 The food tasted fine, if unexceptional. Draft pints were reasonably priced. My fish was good, nicely battered and fried properly I had a problem with the portions offered. For $24, the cod fish & chips had three finger size pieces of cod and a light serving of fries. Other reviewers posted plate photos that I can confirm align with my experience.

Not the worst but there have to be better choices.

Don’t expect any service here. Tourist trap that would be out of business if not for the cruises.

Horrible rip off. Was expecting a proper fish and chips dinner while visiting Alaska on a cruise. 3 tiny bites of halibut. Complete scam. I can see this place going under as tourists won't tolerate being ripped off. Prey on the next ship until word of mouth catches up. Server was great. Owner should be embarrassed serving seafood like this. Does not deserve 1 star

The food was good. The Halibut Fish & Chips arrived with 3 tiny pieces of fish. The portion didn’t justify the price.

We ate here for lunch when our cruise ship was in port. They do not have a kids menu! Strike 1. Our fish and chips were good but the breading was very soggy. It didn’t come with a lemon wedge and when we asked for some, the kitchen only wanted to give us ONE for the group of 9 to share.
Our server was very rude and seemed annoyed to be taking our orders and helping us. She turned on the charm when she brought the checks though… working for that tip. When the 6 year old asked for some BBQ sauce to go with the chicken strips he was forced to order off the adult menus, they charged us $2.00 per 1 oz cup of sauce. A bottle of sauce is like, what, maybe $8 if you’re buying the “top shelf” sauce. An 8oz cup of seafood chowder was $10 and in total, our bill for 4 lunches was $200. When the server handed us the check, her exact words were “I didn’t already add gratuity on there.” 🤣🤣🤣 (like, don’t forget to tip me) And then, if you’re paying with a card, there’s a fee added to the total, like at the occasional mini-mart.
0/10 would recommend this place. Oh, and we couldn’t even find the door to get in. 😂
