Grabbed a bagged lunch for the start of our tour and it was good! Sandwich was fresh and they were accommodating with special requests. Wished we would have had time to enjoy a dinner there. Very friendly staff.

The Station

Reviewed By BigWillieUsa

Consistency is the key and this place was consistently mediocre. Prices were of course on the high side especially for the quality you get. Pizza stunk, Calzones were great and then high school cafeteria quality...so hit or miss...the seafood again hit or miss...service again with the shotgun pattern of hitting or missing the target.

We shared a plate of Alaskan King Crab legs between our party, and each ordered a meatloaf sandwich that was made with beef and caribou. If we had known how colossal the sandwiches were, we would have split one sandwich between two people! It's expensive, but you get a LOT of food for the money. The crab was delicious, and make sure you save room for the bread pudding for dessert, even if you split one between your party - it's worth it! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! The whole meal!

After walking down the main street of Skagway, we were ready for break. On a side street we saw Northern Lights Pizza and decided to try it. Fortunately, we beat the crowd (and it did get very crowded). We ordered the fish and chips. This restaurant uses halibut for its fish and chips. The halibut chips were delicious, and the chips were also quite good. There was a wide variety of items on the menu, but the fish and chips were a winner. The decor is nothing fancy, but then I don't eat the decor. It appears that some of the locals patronize this restaurant as well. If the locals like it, it has to be good.

My wife and I really wanted to try fresh local King Crab Legs while visiting Alaska so our family stopped in, along with everyone else, after the White Pass train tour.The line was out the door and they still managed to seat our party of 6 in less then 15 minutes!!!! While we were waiting, everyone leaving keep saying how it was worth the wait and that the fish and chips were the best they have had.Our waitress, Rori L, gave us great service. She was personable, knowledgeable on the local food and local brews, and Skagway overall. Although the restaurant was packed she made it seem like we were the only ones there by answering our tourist questions and the fast service!We order the 1lb King Crab legs, over the single jumbo leg, and as soon as we had our first bite.....we ordered another round!!! Rori even offered up a just the crab portion that was a little cheaper then whole meal. The legs were full of meat, sweet tasting, and they were cooked(steamed) to perfection. We are so glad we did and that we had our first real local King Crab from Skagway's.A member of my family ordered the fish and chips and agreed with everyone leaving that they were some of the best!!The beer is local and cold, the restaurant is clean and authentic, the service is great, and the food is over the top delicious!!!If you visit Skagway, you MUST, MUST check this place out!!!

Had a flight and all their beers were very good! Upstairs has a full menu and we had lunch. Halibut sandwich for hubby, chicken tortilla soup for me. It was very good. It’s a short walk thru town and worth it. So glad you liked your time with us! Yes, we are located right in the middle of a very small downtown. 4th Ave. just off of Broadway. A 10-minute walk from the cruise ship docks or hop on the shuttle bus and they'll drop you off right on our corner!

We stopped for a quick lunch. The pulled pork sandwich was super big and very good. My mom had a hot dog which was also very big and she loved the cole slaw. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly, checking in to see if you needed anything. Definitely recommend!
