A former park in the middle of downtown Juneau has been transformed into a vibrant outdoor food court thanks to Deckhand Dave, a commercial fisherman who has acquired a loyal local following for his foodtruck-prepared rockfish and halibut tacos. Significantly expanded in 2024, the backyard patio atmosphere includes tents, heat lamps, firepits, and a ship-shaped bar.
Named one of the 50 best restaurants in the country by the New York Times in 2023 and led by James Beard Award–nominated chef Beau Schooler, In Bocca Al Lupo has been justly celebrated for its success in creating a distinctly Alaskan Italian restaurant. Alongside house-made pasta dishes and pizzas, innovative and ever-changing specials highlight local ingredients, such as Alaskan scallops, and cultural influences, including Filipino cuisine. The dining room strikes the right balance between intimate and energetic, making it ideal for couples or small groups; solo diners appreciate the small bar area.
Alaskan king crab—a not-to-be-missed Alaskan delicacy—is the specialty of popular Tracy's. There's often a line to place your order, but the wait is entirely worth it. In addition to Tracy's main location on the Seawalk docks, the owners operate a second shack down the road on the waterfront with the same menu but much more space, making it a good choice for large groups.
