Pier 49

This is a solid alternative to Tracy’s Crab Shack if the lines over there are turning you off. You can get great Alaskan King Crab Legs, crab claws, soup and non seafood offerings. They also have mixed drinks and Alaskan beer. They also have plenty of outside seating with a nice harbor (cruise ship) view. Prices are high, but you are in Alaska and that is to be expected so be prepared. Service was good and the food was served quickly and hot!

I ordered their salmon burger, Juneau Glow( a ginger beer drink) and Bear Creek Strawberry Rhubarb(a wine). -I don't like that neither the person preparing the meal or the person taking my order could describe what flavor components were on the burger and instead just tried to describe what salmon taste like. Saying that it's a "fishy fish". I think anyone ordering salmon knows what it taste like. I'm trying to know what the burger will taste like after you put whatever you're going to on it. But they couldn't understand that for whatever reason. The cook even had a confused look on her face, which I couldn't understand. I think it would be very odd if no one has ever come here wanting to know what's on or in their meal. But I decided to give it a try anyway since I had a taste for salmon. -I felt that the salmon wasn't seasoned and that a lot more of the spread( whatever that may have been) should have been used on it. -The beans were really good and very well seasoned. So it's a bit shocking that the salmon wasn't. -The Juneau glow was one of the best drinks I've ever had in my life. I'm not a big drinker, I don't like regular beer and I don't like straight alcohol. I always go for a mixed drink and I was just saying earlier that day I want to find some ginger beer. So I was really happy when I saw this on the menu! It consists of lemon juice, blackberries, rose vodka and Ketel One Botanical grapefruit. -The strawberry rhubarb wine was a little bit too sweet for my taste. (Not their fault) I'd come back, I'd just try something else.
