I'm so excited to go to Juneau Alaska because of the much talk about Tracy's King Crab Shack, and Oh my! It's really the best! I love their gigantic crab legs! It's very tasty, fresh and juicy. I find it expensive but it is all worth the money you pay. I also love the crab bisque and their scallops. They... More

Do try Tracy's when in Juneau. It's an outdoor, fun, casual atmosphere and awesome crab legs and other crab specialties. Super fresh too.

The king crab was the best!! I tried all of the options on the menu. Loved the atmosphere...reminded me of some of the best places on the Alabama, and Florida gulf coast. No frills, just good food! Picnic table seating and plenty of wetnaps. Loved it.

Crazy, Crazy Place. The Shack is a Shack. Seating is public. You will be sitting with others that have ordered. You order, sit down and wait to hear your name called when your order is ready. The food is very good. The place is next to the Cruise Ship docking area and is always very busy. The food is very... More

Nothing more, and certainly nothing less. When in Rome . . . or something like that. In Alaska you have to eat the King Crab legs, and no one in Juneau does this better than Tracy's. Yes, you sit at a picnic table, under a large tent that holds 50 or 60 people (the weather is often uncertain). Yes, this... More

Nothing fancy. You order drinks & food from a window, pay & give them your name. They hand you your drink. You find a picnic table - be prepared to share - it is crowded! You wait and eventually they "holler" your name, locate you & bring your King Crab, wrapped in paper or in a bucket (depending on what... More

Great food in a relaxed setting. We had the bisque and crab cakes and they were both very good. Seating is in a tent, which was good since it was raining the day we were there. We didn't get the crab legs, but now wishing we had. They looked sooo good! A real Alaska experience. Don't miss it.

This was recommended to us by a local but I was a little uncertain about ordering from a shack and eating outside under a pop up tent, that being said this was one of our best meals. The king crab legs are amazing, we also had crab cakes which were fantastic. My daughter loved the "snow pops" as well, don't... More

The food was good, but with 4 cruise ships in port Juneau was very crowded and it was raining and the seating is not the best. If you like crabs, go for it!

Husband had King Crab leg for $25 which we thought was high for one leg until we got it. It was like a filet! It was huge. We also had a pound of snow crab for $20ish that were incredible, clam chowder--no words can describe and crab cakes. Sounds like a lot and it wasa lot for $60, but it... More
