I was in Sitka for business and had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel. I had their "Classic Breakfast" which was very good, eggs over easy, crispy hash browns and two large juicy sausage. Lunch was their "Blues Burger" and fries, very very tasty! I was somewhat disappointed with dinner. I ordered their "special" which was rock cod with rice and oriental vegetables. The plate looked beautiful, the vegetables were fantastic! But the taste of the rock cod was a little flat. I told the waitress that if there had been more sauce on the fish it may have tasted better. Overall my stay at the hotel was positive but at almost $200.00 a night (winter rates) I might have to stay elsewhere next time.

We stopped in for lunch and had burgers and drinks. Our server was very friendly, even allowing me to order half fries and half onion rings when he saw I was indecisive about which to get with my burger. The restaurant is slightly off the beaten path, but still easily in walking distance from the center of town.And it sits by the water, which is nice. (You can sit inside or outside.)

Normally you might try to eat before you get to the airport, and normally high prices, but the Nugget may have the most reasonable prices in all of Sitka, and good, down home food, with friendly service. But don't eat too much, because their pies are fabulous. I love peanut butter pie, but I can't remember the last time I had a peanut butter pie that tasted much like peanut butter. Now I can put a date on it. btw, the crust was just ok (a flaky crust that would have been great on a fruit pie), it was the peanut buttery filling that was outstanding.

This spot is conveniently located if you have arrived on a cruise ship as it's sort of across the street from the tender dock area. The visitors center (across another street) also recommended it when we were looking for a spot for an early lunch/brunch on a Sunday.It started off great. We got a table outside on the deck since it was sunny and warm enough to be outside in a t-shirt. Service started off as prompt. We decided to split several items and at first the fried halibut chunks were tasty, substantial, and fried nicely. Then we waited for quite a long time before our server came by to tell us that there was a little accident in the kitchen involving the rest of our order ending up on the floor, so they were (thankfully!) remaking everything. When the rest of our order arrived, it was good but not fantastic. We got a crab and cheese melt sandwich that was alright, although the veggie of the day (green beans) was really excellent -- nice sweet beans with butter. The fried oysters were lightly coated and pan-fried, which was good, but they were paltry in number. The sweet potato fries were average.It was a serviceable meal but nothing to repeat or recommend. With the exception of a long wait after our first dish arrived where we didn't get any attention until the report about the kitchen incident, the rest of the service was very good.

Everything in Alaska is expensive - but this place was still a $hock. I paid over $30 for a small piece of halibut! The location was great. The service was good. The food was very good.

Although I was staying at Totem Square in downtown Sitka, the restaurant provided a van to pick us up and bring us back...a wonderful touch and opportunity to visit a restaurant away from the standard downtown fare.A very nice restaurant with what must be a gorgeous sea view (it was quite foggy the evening of our visit).The menu had many tempting offerings of land and sea at fairly high prices (even for Alaska). I opted for the king (white) salmon with cilantro lime rice and asparagus ($42). It was generously portioned, fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. The accompanying salad bar was the same. For dessert, I had a huge scoop of fantastic marionberry sorbet, which was a good deal at $3. A $13 (I think) excellent cranberry mule rounded out my meal. Service was also very good.It seemed that mostly locals were at this restaurant, unlike most of the restaurants located closer to downtown Sitka, and it proved to be an excellent choice all around.

Bit pricey for folks from the mainland, but the food is good, service is excellent. Very convenient location. Pro tip : Shop downstairs for Alaska trinkets and a $ 30,000 fur coat and then come upstairs where everything will then seem cheap !!

We went to this place on the advice of some locals, and were not disappointed. This place is upstairs, close to the waterfront and clearly attracts a large contingent of âlocalsâ. We did not spot a lot of tourists here. The ambiance is âsports barâ meets âfishermanâs hangoutâ, which was just what we were looking for. There is a large central bar and more than an adequate number tables around it. The space felt relaxed and uncrowned. Noise level was moderate, but not excessive. We were promptly served and attended to throughout the meal. We ordered one large salad to share between us, which turned out to be a very good decision as the salad was so large that it could have served 3 people easily, and we are not âlightâ eaters. the pizza was good and generously sized, but the crust not quite as crispy as I like. Still, Iâd be happy to come back to this place on a regular basis.

One of the few places to get local seafood in Sitka. Small restaurant with good food. Salmon tacos and fish and chips were both delicious. Very nice staff and unlike most places, there is no tipping. They tell you on the menu that they pay the staff a wage that doesnât depend on tips. Love this!
