We ordered salmon chowder and it was best salmon chowder in our life. Salmon cakes with salad are delicious as well. Highly recommend to stop by while travelling through Talkeetna.

The salmon cakes are to die for. Best meal we had in Talkeetna! Be sure to find them in their new location, by the post office, before you get to the main drag.

We ordered the salmon cake salad and salmon burger; both were incredible! So fresh, healthy, and wonderful flavors. Very fairly priced. Definitely a must when visiting Talkeetna!!

After having been in Fairbanks, then Healy and finally down to Talkeetna, this was the best food I had tasted. Wish I had made this our dinner stop before heading to the McKinley Princess Lodge as that was a huge disappointment. No Frills & Awesome Food!

There are small food trucks around this place which share common seating arrangements. So one can order and take out food and sit and eat. The salmon cakes were delicious. We also had the salmon burgers and chips. I especially loved Salmon cakes more than the burgers.

I loved it. The wait wasn't long. I'm here for the summer so I was a bit greedy and tried the salmon burger with chips and a order of salmon cakes. So worth it!!!

We ordered the popular Salmon Burger and it did not disappoint! It’s so moist and delicious! The fries are freshly cooked and tasty too. The guy at the counter is a huge Superbad movie fan and speaking in quotes which was hilarious! Highly recommend this spot if you’re in town :)

Delicious salmon patties made into tasty burgers! Chowdy was so creamy with lots of salmon chunks.
