Best Restaurants in Kodiak Alaska range from a 1957 institution and Old Powerhouse sushi to Native-owned deli fare. Most of the top spots sit downtown along Marine Way, with others on Mill Bay Road. Because this guide covers the city of Kodiak only, it skips roadside spots farther out on the island.
Henry’s Great Alaskan Restaurant has served Kodiak since 1957 at 512 West Marine Way. The family-owned restaurant serves appetizers, burgers, seafood, steaks, and salads. Additionally, a full bar pours 20 craft beers on tap. Because winter hours run from December through April and include a Sunday closure, check its hours before you visit.
Kodiak Hana Restaurant serves sushi, Japanese dishes, and fresh seafood at 516 East Marine Way. The restaurant occupies the historic Old Powerhouse building on the waterfront. Additionally, it offers steaks and chicken dishes alongside the sushi. Because it closes on Mondays and serves lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday, plan around those hours.
Aquamarine Cafe & Suites serves burgers, pizza, and seafood at 508 West Marine Way. The cafe sits next door to Henry’s and has three suites above the dining room. Additionally, popular orders include crab cakes, the avocado-and-bacon burger, and smoked salmon pizza. Plus, it opens daily at 10 a.m.
Nuniaq serves lunch and brunch at 113 Lower Mill Bay Road. The Native-owned, family-run restaurant and deli blends traditional and contemporary recipes using locally sourced Alaskan ingredients. Additionally, visitors praise its soups and avocado toast. Because lunch runs Monday through Friday and brunch runs on weekends, check its hours before you go.
Harborside Coffee and Goods has brewed Kodiak coffee since 1994 and roasts its own beans. Doreece and Sam Mutch started with one cozy shop near the harbor. Additionally, three locations serve downtown, Mill Bay Road on Lilly Lake, and Center Avenue. Plus, the flagship sits across from the harbor at 210B Shelikof Street.
Noodles serves Thai and Asian-fusion dishes at 1247 Mill Bay Road, Suite D. Reviewers praise the noodle dishes and the vegetarian and vegan options. Additionally, gluten-free choices suit varied diets. Because hours differ by source, call (907) 486-2900 before you visit.
Kodiak pairs waterfront Marine Way classics with Mill Bay Road cafes and fresh Alaskan seafood. Because three favorites sit within a few blocks of Marine Way, visitors can sample them on foot. In fact, every restaurant on this list is real, currently operating, and inside Kodiak.
