"The Hangar on the Wharf is not just Juneau, Alaska's only waterfront restaurant, but a living testament to its history and the seafood industry upon which so much of the state - and, indeed, America - depends. If you want to taste wild-caught Alaskan seafood, Hangar on the Wharf is the place."
"Halibut features prominently among the Hangar's favorites, with its menu boasting halibut fish tacos, tempura halibut and chips, baked halibut, halibut piccata, and even a halibut burger. Also on offer are oysters on the half shell, a smoked salmon spread made in-house, linguine with clams, grapefruit and orange-glazed salmon, a chowder of the day served in either a cup or bread bowl, and a Cajun-style jambalaya topped with sautéed prawns."
"Though prospective customers should be warned that the restaurant is often crowded, this popularity speaks to the quality of the fresh and wild-caught seafood it serves. Other patrons speak rhapsodically of not just the food, but the glorious view of Alaskan waters from which the restaurant's bounty comes."
Hangar on the Wharf stands as Juneau, Alaska's sole waterfront dining establishment and a historical landmark housed in a former aircraft hangar for floatplane operators. The restaurant specializes in fresh, wild-caught Alaskan seafood and has earned a reputation as a local favorite despite frequent crowding. Halibut dominates the menu with multiple preparations including fish tacos, tempura, baked, piccata, and burger options. Additional seafood offerings include oysters, smoked salmon spread, clams, salmon, prawns, and daily chowders. For non-seafood preferences, the restaurant provides alternatives such as salads, chicken fried steak, Cuban sandwiches, eggs Benedict, and Monte Cristo sandwiches.
