Seward & Kenai Fjords Dining and Nightlife

In an old rail­car, this bar­be­cue joint has per­son­al­i­ty and serves good ​“Q”. They do break­fast in addi­tion to lunch.

It’s good seafood, cooked well, but the sides are aver­age. The bar can get loud and crowd­ed, but the din­ing area is…  ...more
