Best burgers in S. E. Alaska

[EDDY0827]

I'm headed to Alaska for 10 days on the Crown on the 23rd of May. I'm looking for recomendations

for some good burgers in ISP, Sitka, Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan.

I know of Burger Queen in Ketchikan but would like to hear about other favorites. 🍔😊

Burgers in Alaska?  Maybe reindeer burgers...but it's all about the seafood.

I have been instructed by the one that birthed me that a stop at the Red Dog Saloon in Juneau is required. The menu is on their website. They do list a few different burgers. Hope to see you onboard!

For some, maybe. Salmon is not a special treat for me. Salmon is a

common fish here as we have several salmon hatcheries nearby.

I'm not much of a fish eater (fish and chips maybe 2 times a year) and can't

afford King crab at every port.

Seeing as you are from Hi, it may be all about the seafood, but speaking

from experience, variety is best. LoCo Moco, Spam musubi are not to be missed.

I've had some great burgers on Kauai (Kapaa) and Maui (Lahaina).

  I agree. ALWAYS make a stop at the Red Dog

It is in walking distance from the pier.

Warning about the Red Dog...Do not go if easily offended.  It is all about the atmosphere  :O)

Their menu is online. Aside from burgers..

 I quote from their Liquor section..

Cheap ***** $6.50

Regular ***** $ 7.50

Expensive ***** $8.50

Really expensive ***** $9.50.

You can also order a Duck Fart....no kidding

A unique place not to be missed Usually VERY crowded

@EDDY0827. I have to agree with you.  I eat most seafood...cooked or sashimi but Salmon is not on my list.

The Hangar in Juneau has decent burgers.  Cool place to watch the planes land and take off too.  https://www.hangaronthewharf.com/menu

I enjoy my Burger Queen burger most when I’m having refreshing beverages at The Asylum Bar. They’ll deliver right to you.

That’s my go to.  With the walk

[EDDY0827]

Thanks for the tips!

Thanks all, 

Anyone eat at Timberline Bar & Grill at the top of the tram?

 

Or is better to eat in town somewhere?

Yes, we shared fish and chips and crabcakes up there.  The food was fine and the view incredible.

For Sitka consider the Bayview Pub.  In Skagway check the menu of the Skagway Brewing Company.

Why would anybody eat anything at Skagway Brewing but their excellent fresh halibut and chips washed down with spruce tip ale? 😁

Om June 2022 the halibut fish and chips at Skagway Brewing was pathetic.  Very greasy and the halibut very fishy.  Definitely not up to their previous standards.  Just so you know as you have stated that you were not in Alaska last summer.  

[wolfie11]

Well, dang.  I guess I'll give them a try this summer and see how it goes. Hopefully, the spruce tip beer is still good.  I was actually in Alaska for several weeks, but not in my usual haunts.

I'm sure you could find a salmon burger.

The Hanger in Juneau is good but it can get busy with some wait time to get in for service.  Very popular place.

Person after my own heart... I don't like seafood, but the DH does. Hopefully we'll be able to find a place that has good burgers as well as good seafood.

It's OK, not the greatest.  But the view certainly is.

thanks for asking!  I can't eat salmon or crab so always try to find chicken, turkey, or a good burger.

In Juneau, I highly recommend Fish and Chips, next door to the Hanger.  They have a surf and turf burger that is a beef patty and a halibut patty.  I really hope you can do halibut because the burger is amazing.
