We were lodging out near Exit Glacier with no car, but we’re close enough to walk to the Salmon Bake, which was highly recommended by our Uber driver from earlier in the day. Very Alaskan looking from the exterior, and the fact that there’s tee...many locals inside was proof we found a great spot to eat. All meals were top notch. Halibut, the Salmon Bake, even the Cheeseburger were so good and filling we couldn’t save room for dessert. Sampled some local Ales as well and met some other tourists from Florida who also raved about their food. Staff was pleasant and attentive, friendly and welcoming. If you’re staying downtown, make a short trip to the Bake- you won’t be disappointed.More

We were fortunate to get a table and enjoyed the funky atmosphere & good food. We expected the traditional wood-plank salmon bake, but it did not have that. Everywhere in Seward, restaurants are short on staff so we were happy to get dinner each night!

We really had mixed feelings about this place. We were in line when the restaurant opened. Had a short wait still to get seated as they were staggering, which makes sense. We were seated in the bar area, no problem. However, as they got busy...they let people into the bar to order drinks as they wait for a table. We really got trapped as we were seated in a an area with our back to the bar. I've never felt so claustrophobic. This also seemed to make our waitress (who was also out waitress) forget about us. At one point we got in the line of those without tables just so we could get another drink. A couple who was sat next to us got up a left after not being waited on. The bartender had to repeatedly tell people that the bar wasn't open seating and they couldn't sit in open seats. Maybe don't use these seats at this time? Part of the restaurant is closed due to being short staffed. On another note, they were out of all Salmon and this wasn't posted anywhere. The food we did get was pretty good and our waitress was nice, just spread way too thin.More

Kathy and Stan from Alaska Salt Water Tours and Lodging recommended this place to us. They said it was worth the drive and often not as busy as other places in town. Unfortunately, we the COVID era---this place was just as busy as everywhere and...struggling with Staffing like everywhere. Very sad. BUT the experience was TOP NOTCH and I didn't notice any slight in food or service. In fact, all I saw was people working their buts off to make the experience great. One waitress even had her 1 year old on her hip. An adorable demonstration of a staff dedicated to their employer and their patrons. our food was wonderful. The beer excellent. I travel to Seward as much as I can when I visit Alaska and I will go back. This place was that good.More

I had heard good things, so I came in with high expectations. And they were met, and then some. The food was phenomenal, priced right, and very plentiful. But what I loved most was the spirit and attitude of the staff. Alaska has a huge...worker shortage because of COVID, and every place is understaffed. The same is true for here, but they never let on to it. You could see there were fewer bodies, but the service didn't suffer one bit. They were fun, kind, helpful, and never once did they seem stressed, although of course they had to be. Just a wonderful experience and a must stop when you're anywhere near Seward.More

We enjoyed the Captains Plate and Crab Cakes during a pleasant visit in mid-August 2021. Our wait was minimal, perhaps due to being just two of us; there were several larger groups. The food was delicious that came with attentive service. We're happy to recommend...this place just a bit away from the bustle of Seward.More

We hopped in line before they opened (5pm), and were so glad we did! They’re known to be busy (and, like all service industry businesses right now, short staffed). The atmosphere was super pleasant. The staff was hustling to keep up. Our food was out...promptly and we were treated great. The seafood chowder, salmon, and beer battered halibut were top notch. Would recommend for great seafood in Seward.More

The restaurant has a great vibe to it but the food can use a some help. Food is average and you have to get there early otherwise a long wait. Service was ok and hosts were friendly. A plus is $2.25 cans of Miller.

Came in Tuesday around 8pm. Our group of four was never able to be seated. Very dirty restaurant. The food I did see come out looked quite questionable.

The food was nothing great. The salmon was over cooked, the crab cakes dry. The drinks were good. We were seated at the bar and folks were hovering behind us trying to order drinks. No masks. Not worth it both the food or the risks...for vivid.More

We loved the salmon bake!!! Go early to put your name on a list because they don’t take reservations… but the food is worth it!!

Even though it was difficult to get a table, the food was very good. We loved the kids menus and all of the food (fish and chips and salmon) was excellent. Definitely would recommend the place.
