This place has great crabs in an outdoor picnic atmosphere as the other reviews have mentioned. However, most places fail to mention that this is a just a walk-up to go place that is closed outside tourist season (most of the fall, winter, and spring). Don't bother to go looking for it after September. more

This was one of the highlights eatingwise, and although my husband noted we could just go back on our cruise ship for a "free" meal, I and another couple from our helicopter tour wound up here anyway. It's only steps away from where the ships dock, and waiting for my crab cocktail (so they did all the work taking the... more

Tracy, you are simply THE BEST! Best wishes out of Mexico… We read on Tripadvisor about Tracy’s Shack, and planned our visit to Juneau around it. Our expectations were exceeded by far; for sure was one of the highlights of our Alaskan Cruise! The first impression doesn’t help; a really small shack with very few chairs and tables, but it... more

Had lunch once and would have gone back but it was closed the second time we went. Dining outside, right at the water's edge, we watched as the congenial chefs cooked the lobster in a large pot, then prepared our lobster poboys. A very unique experience, not to mention the food. It was delicious! And the price was very reasonable. more

You HAVE to stop at Tracy's Crab Shack in Juneau Ak! The king crab legs and drawn butter have no equal. Her homemade crab bisque is awesome and the soft garlic rolls are delicious. If you've never eaten king or alaskan crabs, this is the place to try them! Don't expect a sit down meal, there are plastic chairs, a... more

I am disappointed by the change in using different types of crab now, Tracy didn't use to do that.. Now the "king crab roll" is actually more snow crab than king crab. I suspect that is what is is in the bisque also. Too bad, the quality is changing. more

Great array of crab dishes from subtle to overkill. The bisque is a bit spendy but well worth the money. Best value was the crab cakes; great snack at a reasonable price. Only downside is no inside seating. Choices are a few bar stools or tables under an awning so dress warm. more

Not exactly a restaurant, but served fantastic king crab legs and claws, unbelievable bisque and yummy crab cakes. Gets very busy after 1pm, so ordering lunch at 12:30 is advisable, as it takes 15-20 mins to prepare. Highly recommended. more

We tried a sampler combo of the seafood that Tracy's offers. However, the standouts are the Crab Bisque soup and the King Crab Legs. They are fantastic! The menu is quite limited and this qualifies as dining in the raw (sort of like a lobster pound if you were in Maine). So you are going to Tracy's for the food. more

Our tour guide told us about this place so we decided to try a snack before heading back to the ship. I tell you I wish I could have gotten about a gallon of the bisque to go. It was incredible. The roll was very good, soft and warm and the crab cakes were very good. Krispy and tasty. YUMMY. more
