Traveling through Alaska from NY and stopped at this restaurant for dinner. It was great! I had the most delicious macaroni and cheese that I've ever had in my life! Wow! Hubby had the bison burger which was good. He really loved the seafood chowder. Christy was our server and she was wonderful. I highly recommend this place! And do yourself a favor and order the mac and cheese @

We were cruising at Haines and wanted one more quick beer. We were very satisfied with the halibut fish and chips and the beer on tap! The bartender was so welcoming and sweet and told us they opened that day early for us cruisers and we are so glad they did! Thank you so much for welcoming us and the quick, easy, and delicious meal!

We were starving when we stopped by here for a late lunch. It was delicious We enjoyed everything from the seafood chowder to the grilled salmon and salmon tacos. We also ordered some garlic bread. We are in Haines for 3 nights and we will more likely return for another meal. Great spot by the water.

Had best halibut fish and chips ever. Staff was friendly and we had a view of the harbor. Nice break from cruise ship food. Haines is a cute town worth a visit.

Megan (and Kristi bartender/server) , with her many hats, has done an amazing job. My crew and I have been here almost every night open over the last week here in town. All the meals and service have been great! Swing by this small little place on the harbor and enjoy a good meal with this crew!
