Great outdoor food after a nice hike! We had barbecued smoked flavored King salmon with chili with reindeer sausage, and other fixings. Friendly staff too.

The panning was fun but, not very long. It was raining and cold. The bake is outdoor but they have heaters to dry out any damp clothing. The food was good. I especially liked the brown sugar coated Salmon, the rest of the food was okay. All in all a good time.

The food was delicious and the experience was fun! There is a creek along the property that you can walk and see where salmon return to spawn. Glad we did this as one of our excursions!

Yes, that will be enough time to get there for your reservation. Ensure you taste their sauce for the salmon.

Public buses go right past there from glacier, just let bus drivers know where you need to get off. They are good about stuff like that. Can also take taxi, Uber, stick your thumb out.

Yes, call them

Absolutely! We took a tour that consisted of both the Mendenhall glacier and then the salmon bake afterwards. It's a great cookout. Be sure to follow the path to the end where the waterfall is at and abandoned mine.

You can probably buy your excursion at the pier. There are busses running regularly.

1 part butter, 4 parts brown sugar, and a bit of lemon juice to taste. Melt the butter, mix in the sugar (low heat), and then the lemon juice.

I found some. About $7 worth. Lol. Its not a lot, but if you've never done it before it is very interesting. They gave us about 20-30 minutes. But it is also a tour with lots of interesting info.

Yes, you can go as individuals. I'd give it a 7 out of 10, though.

Yes, they take reservations for individual tourist and groups.
