Came here for dinner prior to chasing the northern lights. The Caesar salad was well dressed. The pretzel was huge and fluffy. Their non alcoholic drinks were great. Tots and fries were fried well. The yak burger had great flavor though dry for medium rare. I felt like the crabby grilled cheese was made with imitation crab. The portion sizes were good.

There is a reason this place is so well reviewed and the reality is the food is excellent. The restaurant is quite large but they seem to have it staffed well and are able to get the food out relatively quickly. We had some problems with the check where we were not told up front about some up charges so you may want to look at that a bit closer when you are paying but the food was quite good. The Yak burger was different with good flavor. The tater tots were outstanding and the pretzel was so soft and delicious. Their beers were very good as well. Overall would recommend but just check the bill a bit closer.

Lunch was amazing and the food was very tasty with the exception of the Jambalaya which the described as a soup and it wasn’t which was disappointing. The flavors were just ok but not what I had expected. However the Calamari and Shrimp were very tasty and the fries one of the best. Worth a visit.

After seeing how highly rated this place was with 10,000+ reviews, I had to give it a try. The service right away wasn’t the best. I sat for a while without water or any server coming to my table. The service itself could use some more attention to detail. However, the food was some of the best I’ve ever had. I ordered a cup of seafood chowder, a seafood mac n cheese, and a halibut fish and chips basket. The seafood chowder had Alaskan king salmon in it and was delightful. The Mac n cheese was also very yummy and had chunks of tender crab meat in it. The fish and chips though was something else. It was the best fried fish I have ever had in my life. The fish was so tender and the breading was crispy and savory. The fries were also amazing. I would 100% come back to this restaurant when in town again.

Went in a Saturday night the wait was less than 25 minutes with 3 parties ahead of ours.Our waiter was Chris let us know the days specials as well as what paired good with what. He made sure our drinks were served and refilled timely. Food was awesome. The crab stuffed Jalapeños were definitely a hit should’ve ordered more. A decent price for the selection and food portions. It wasn’t a long wait for the entrees seems like we were finishing up appetizers just in time. Parking wasn’t to hard to find but the pay to park does get extremely crowded if you park and walk down will save time going in circles looking for a spot.

Great service! Halibut is delicious(not in the picture). The cider is good, wish the wings have different options for the dry rub! It's a great place to chill and chat!

Service was incredibly slow. That was very disappointing. The crab legs were delicious. So was the yak burger. We liked some of the beer flights too. I’m also extremely annoyed by the 3% service charge. Maybe it’s because we aren’t from the area, but don’t tack onto my bill the cost of the back of house staff. Maybe just pay your staff appropriately? The price of food isn’t cheap here, so why are you charging people for the cost of labor?

Great food and bright, clean, commercial atmosphere. Mark, our waiter was efficient, friendly and very personable. Beer was great and so was the food. Easy place to spend a few hours and try some local beer.
