Alaska, United States Food Guide: 10 American food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Ketchikan
Reviews on American food in Ketchikan, Alaska, United States. Ketchikan, one of Alaska's most Southeastern cities, is the first stop for many cruises on their way to more Northern climes. A stay in Ketchikan itself can be rewarding, however, as the city is the gateway to Misty Fjords National Monument, an area so beautiful, it is known as "The Yosemite of the North." With steep valleys formed by glaciers and lava flows left by volcanic activity, Misty Fjords offers gorgeous views of natural formations, all reflected in the calm waters of Pacific inlets.

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and found most restaurants closed. We decided to eat at Jeremiah's Pub. I was expecting a pub menu and was pleasantly surprised to find a full dinner menu of selections. We highly recommend their sampler platter of appetizers for a selection of fresh seafood.Dear Harlow: Thank you for taking the time to review Jeremiah's Pub. We appreciate your recommendations and are very happy to see that you enjoyed your dining experience in Jeremiah's. We hope you will come back in the very near future and enjoy another evening with us. Linda Peters, G.M.

This place was abuzz with customers when I came in. The food was prepared fresh and came out quickly during my visit. I had eggs benedict. Prepared well and just how you would expect. Guests at the hotel get a voucher for a steep discount on breakfast here so that (I suspect) keeps the restaurant busy. I don't understand why people would go here otherwise because the prices are out of proportion with the food that you're getting and the other options in ketchikan. But if you're staying at the hotel, I'd give this place four or five stars.Hello John, Thank you for taking the time to review the restaurant. We appreciate your comments and are happy to see that you enjoyed your eggs Benedict and it was cooked to your liking. We are sorry to hear that you felt it was not proportionate to what you paid. We do offer our hotel guests a discount off their breakfast; although most of our clientele are local folks. We do hope you will come back and give us another opportunity to serve your dining needs. Thank you again for your comments. Linda Peters, G.M.

Friendly staff, great place to hang out in the off season to meet the locals. I was not there during the tourist season, but I am sure they are busy. The T-shirts are one of a kind. :)

This place serves decent diner food with a fifties diner theme. The burger, grilled cheese and milkshakes were all good. A local suggested we try it and the place was pretty busy with other tourists and locals.It's nothing extraordinary, but it was a decent meal.

Family of four on a Friday for an early dinner. The restaurant was busy but not full. The only part of the meal that went smoothly was getting seated. Our server was friendly and trying, but both the bar and kitchen seemed to be totally disorganized. Beers took 20 minutes, food took 30-45 minutes - 3 meals came out together, the fourth (crab legs, which should have been the easiest) canes out 15 minutes later. They were very good but pretty small for the price, the crab Mac n cheese, Caesar salad and salmon burger were all very good. Not sure we would go back. Hi! What a confusing review. Service was friendly, food was âvery goodâ but it took too long? Was it 30 or 45 minutes? Because 30 minutes for made to order food is what it would take to ummmm make the food. If it was 45, well, Iâm thinking thatâs still pretty reasonable.The disorganization you saw at the bar was that all 4 of our kegs blew 1 after the other and yes, it was a little chaotic replacing each and every keg hence, your 20 minute wait for beer. And if you ordered the IPA that darn keg just would not work. I am sorry about that and I can honestly say THAT has NEVER happened before. (whew) Iâm seeing that you give pretty consistent bad reviews and Iâm wondering if maybe you just like to criticize others. I will speak for all the managers of all the restaurants you have posted negative reviews to - please speak up at the time of your unhappiness so that we can explain things like kegs blowing and how long it takes to prepare your food.

This was our last port for our Alaskan cruise and I had not eaten crab yet. So, for lunch my husband and I scoured the area for a crab restaurant. We stumbled across Annabelle's and decided to stop in. I ordered the King Crab leg. It was huge. And I had the chowder, which was thick and delicious. So, I was satisfied that I had what I came to eat, though it was pricey. My order came with a bowl of white rice, which I didn't understand and didn't eat. My husband ordered the fish and chips.Funny though, that evening on the ship, crab legs were served. Not as big, but it's just funny that I had to stop to get it for lunch on the same day they served it for free. In any case, I would recommend Annabelle's to any visiting the area. I wish I could try more of the other foods on the menu.LocaLola24,Thank you so much for taking the time to give us a 4 star review and tell us about your experience. We are happy that you decided to stop on for lunch and that you enjoyed the King Crab, chowder and fish and chips. It is traditional, in Alaska, to serve King Crab with rice. Between the rice, butter and crab it makes for a good side dish. We hope you come back again!

We waited a long time after being seated.Eventually we asked for a waiter to take our order, the food was good but we had to wait ages for it, which was strange as the restaurant was not busy.Nice place, good views, good food, very slow.

Recommended by our tour guide and the brewery around the corner, we decided to stop in for a late lunch and were glad we did.Service was casual and friendly, and the food was good. There were several locals eating there which is always a good sign. I had the Halibut and chips and highly recommend it. I don't typically enjoy fish but damn this was tasty! I'm still thinking about it...Great place to take a load off and fuel up while exploring this lovely town!

We were expecting to have good fish at a restaurant with good reviews. Both halibut and salmon reminded cardboard. It is a tourist trap. The cardboard cost us 75 bucks for three- a bit much. Definitely a tourist trap- cruise based crowds who will never be back.
