“ As you are driving into Seward, don't pass up Exit Glacier Salmon Bake for their trademark salmon baked dinner. With a choice of two sides like baked beans or sautéed corn and garlic butter rice or baked potato and fresh corn bread with honey butter, I felt like it was the Texas Roadhouse of Salmon. You may come hungry but you never leave hungry. Add in a blackened halibut quesadilla starter to share and you will have enough leftovers for lunch the next day. I loved being able to go for a quick easy post dinner hike at 9:30pm to the Glacier View at Exit Glacier to give you a taste of what's to come. Only con is service is a bit slow if you're sitting outside as it took awhile for someone to come and take our order and there are quite a lot of mosquitos as well. ”
“ This place is amazing and could not be in a more beautiful place. The food was great and plentiful. The people were friendly and helpful. ”
“ After three days of being disappointed with the quality of cooked fish along the Seward waterfront, we stumbled upon "The Salmon Bake" on our way to see the glaciers at Kenai Fjords National Park. This turned out to be the best seafood we had during our entire trip to Alaska. The baked salmon and halibut were cooked to perfection--juicy and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The customer service was excellent, adding to the overall great experience. Despite its unassuming exterior, the interior is surprisingly spacious, and they even have a full bar. Every penny we spent there was worth it. I'd give this place a 10 out of 5 if I could! ”
“ Managed to get into Salmon Bake on Labor Day--their last open day of the season! I was with a group of five and they were able to seat us right away. The decor will give you something to talk about for sure...lots of interesting memorabilia. I ordered the broiled red snapper as I had had my fill of salmon and halibut this trip. It was a nice sized portion and well cooked. Hilariously they were running out of diverse side dishes (because it was their last night of the season), so I had beans and rice. Both were good. My friends enjoyed their dishes as well. Their draft beer list was good and I had their rotating tap which was a raspberry wheat. Very good, and a deal for Alaska at $6.50 a pint. Service was pleasant but a little slow. Definitely a place to eat in Seward. ”
“ My son had butter pasta and salmon and ate it all. Very good. My husband had fish cakes which were good, a little bready. I ate salmon which was a large portion I could not finish. Skip the rice. It was not good. Also, I did not like the corn but my husband did. Neither of us finished the corn servings which were huge. The cornbread was tasty. The service was prompt/efficient. The ambiance is rustic. Not my style but they pull it off. ”
“ Definitely not lousy!! I wish I got pictures of the food bc I enjoyed it sooo much! We got the Salmon Bake and Seafood Chowder. The Seafood Chowder soup was hearty, creamy, and warm. It was chunky with seafood. The Salmon Bake (honestly the BEST SALMON I'VE EVER HAD), had me mindblown with every single bite. I can't stop thinking about this fish. The taste, the freshness, everything about it! It was so delicious! There was lots of seating in this restaurant. We were served pretty quickly. ”
“ Restaurant was right across the street from our hotel in Seward. Stopped by for a drink in the bar and decided to stay for dinner. A couple of us got the fried halibut chunks and chips. Dish comes with slaw and tartar sauce. Halibut was lightly battered and perfectly fried. Others split the crab cake dinner with Brussels sprouts. Place is really unique. Looks like an old Alaska lodge with older stuff hung on the walls. Nice touch is the cornbread with the meal and a barrel of pickles to snack on. Our server was also the bartender and she did a great job. ”
“ Tasty seafood and friendly staff. The whole Ambience is great and fun. Had a very rustic feel ”
“ Just as the name implies - Salmon Bake - it's what's for dinner! This is a family friendly business as well as a great place for groups to eat. They are open from May to September during the busy tourist season. There's not a whole lot to do in Seward, but this is the exception. Give the Salmon Bake a try !! ”
