Salmon Bear Mccarthy Lodge

Clean comfortable and quiet hotel, good size rooms. Reasonable breakfast buffet, pool and gym. No room service, and in general service is reactive: eg you tell them there are no eggs and they will bring more. But they do not check on their own. Bottom line good, service level gets the lowest grade.

Very nice people and wide varity of drinks. Also serv food.

Fantastic atmosphere with live music, good food, awesome draft local brews, BUT limited menu and a bit pricey Service: 5 Location: 5

The positives: excellent vibe and music. And our server was super nice!!! We came here with two new friends from Israel who we met while glacier hiking and she thought it was really cool that we came in after meeting new people. So all of that was truly memorable. That being said, my ribeye steak was very tough for ordering it medium rare, not a very fatty cut, and the Mac and cheese tasted powdery which was a bit off putting. On top of that, overpriced for what it is but I guess that’s the rule not the exception in AK. I would come and enjoy a drink here but probably wouldn’t recommend a full blown dinner here.

Ordered the rib steak medium, it came out well. To make matters worse the cut was the toughest cut of rib steak it was uneatable. Brussel sprouts had zero flavor. Was my husband 50 th birthday tried to order a bottle of wine on their list and of course they didn’t have it. Worst dinner all together. Should’ve ate at The Potato restaurant instead.
