Tracy's King Crab Shack
A famous king crab spot next to the cruise ship dock, known for its freshly boiled crab legs and crab bisque, making it Juneau's most popular dining landmark.
Located on South Franklin Street, just a two-minute walk from the cruise ship dock, this waterfront shack is the most frequently mentioned spot for crab among visitors to Juneau. The signature dish is the king crab legs, which usually weigh about one pound each and are served with garlic butter; those on a budget can try the crab bisque for a taste. Reservations are not accepted, and wait times during lunch and dinner peaks are typically 15–45 minutes, and even longer during the busiest times, so off-peak visits are recommended. Some diners have reported that a single-person combo of crab legs and a drink costs around $94. Open seasonally; the official website does not list specific dates for 2026, so please check before heading out.
