Wild Catch Cafe

Almost left empty handed. If the picnic benches at the front are full of people then you may have a 20-30 minute wait. My wife and I stopped at the Wild Catch Cafe for a melted cheese sandwich to take with us on a Phillips Cruise. The melted cheese sandwich was very good, best I've had in a long time. My suggestion to management would be for employees to notify customers of the wait times prior to ordering. I'm thinking a melted cheese sandwich should be quick, but I don't know the kitchen time on my order.

The wait was long and the cost was high, but the food was delicious. The salmon burger was top notch.

Nice place in Whittier, AK, serving local favorites. The waitress recommended the halibut, and I wasn't disappointed in the least. The fish was perfectly paired to the included dipping sauce, and the fries were deliciously crispy. I recommend having the fries with a sprinkle of cider vinegar and a few shakes of black pepper. It works so well next to the fish. Best halibut I had in the 10 days I was in AK.

I just love their salmon burger.
Their staff is full of really nice people. I also appreciate the fact that they are hiring seasonal workers from other countries as well.

We had 2 wonderfully made meals at the Wild Catch Cafe! Our first was halibut fish and chips that blew our minds! Perfect fresh fish, light crispy batter and golden chips, yum. The next day we had a fabulous breakfast with fresh high-end coffee drinks!!
We were lucky to meet the owner Hi, who was courteous, professional and a fantastic host.

Fresh Alaskan Halibut fish 'n chips.

We always search out what's local and well made. This definitely hit the mark! Right on the coast in Whittier Alaska, this is a fresh as fish gets. Make the remarkable trip through the Anton Anderson Memorial tunnel, (longest in the USA at 2.5 miles!) To the hidden town of Whittier.

Chef owned and operated, the Wild Catch Café is putting considerable thought into their sourcing and preparation and the result is delicious.

A light rice flour tempura- style batter highlights the flavor and flakiness of the fish. Seasoned to perfection with a side of hand cut fries and malt vinegar (cheers mates!) this was an extremely satisfying stop.

Rounded out the meal and chilly, drizzly day with a hot cup of Zen Chai with almond milk, also a locally made specialty. I love the nuances in homemade Chai and this had an unexpected citrus overtone that brightened up the ginger and spices.

1) Be sure to ask the employee(s) about what is/isn’t available. As the menu on the wall may or may not be correct based on the availability of ingredients.

2) if you need more seating, there is plenty of seats in the back.

Very friendly owner with fast service. This is pretty much one of the only places to eat in Whittier and it was so good after the long hike day.

Super-friendly sandwich shop and coffee bar in Whittier Alaska. They have an enclosed front porch. Food was made fresh and fast. They served excellent Kaldi coffee.

Excellent Service, perfect halibut fish and chips.
