The Fat Mermaid - Valdez

Had the salmon dinner. Delicious! Salmon cooked almost perfect, just slightly dry on edges. The place is busy all the time, but still seems friendly comfortable. The view of the mountain is outstanding.

We chose Fat Mermaid as it was rated well and one of the only spots open after a long day on the road. The menu offers many options, but our food wasn?t great. We tried a pizza and French dip. The pizza was bland and the French dip and fries were very salty. Our server, Kadir, capped the night with a disrespect comment before brining our check. My wife got sick within minutes of leaving the restaurant, so we won?t be returning or recommending.

This is a great restaurant with many Asian/Western food selections. They have ube cake and other desserts. We ordered two root beer floats and it had ice in it. Not sure why they added ice. We might come back for dinner to try other dishes if we are not too tired from kayaking tomorrow.

This is an amazing restaurant on the banks of Valdez. The food tastes great. The frits are absolutely crispy. The cheese steak is one of the best I ever had. The fish sand that was also very good. And although it wasn't a Thai place, the yellow curry was on site. I would recommend this place to anyone who goes to Valdez, AK. It's a bit on the expensive side, but you can always try.

Valdez was our number one destination when planning our trip to Alaska and it did not dissapoint. Our air bnb host recommended this place for dinner and it lived up to the hype. The view was fantastic, the service by Daniel was exceptional, he was genuine and attentive without being over the top. We had the halibut and chips mine grilled his fried and it was perfect. My husband liked his so much he ordered a second basket(cod this time) for dessert instead of the ube cake I ordered. Great spot.
