The Salmon Bake is the Alaskan version of the All-American Barbecue and since 1978 our Salmon Bake has been grilling up nothing but perfection! This all-you-can-eat buffet includes the signature Alderwood-grilled wild salmon, Cheechako chicken, Chilkoot baked beans, Tongass wild rice pilaf, Alyeska au gratin potatoes, and a selection of side dishes and salads. Vegetarian or gluten-free? There's plenty to tempt your palate! Don't forget to save room for not only the homemade blueberry cake but also the fresh S'mores by the fire!
Hike up the short trail up to the gorgeous Salmon Creek Falls and the entrance of the famous Wagner Mine. Take in the breathtaking scenery of Gold Creek circling around the Salmon Bake, and if you're lucky you may even see some salmon swimming upstream. Don't forget to take some pictures with the interactive gold rush mural!
The food, ambiance, live music, and activities make our Salmon Bake much more than a meal. It's a full experience you aren't sure to forget!

Customer Reviews
Aug 2022 - John M.
My excursion was the glacier tour followed by salmon bake. Our tour guide was excellent. Great photos at the glacier. Food at the salmon bake was plentiful and excellent. Highly recommended. Five stars all around.

Food was good. There were very few people there so no music or other events happening. Sure this would have been more exciting if a little busier and normal activities going on.
