If you’re looking for a good place to eat in Ketchikan, The Landing has two restaurants worth knowing about: The Diner at The Landing for breakfast and classic comfort food, and The Portside Pub & Grill for seafood, burgers, drinks, and a late-night ambiance.
Both are located at The Landing Hotel, and neither is limited to just hotel guests. These restaurants work well for locals, ferry travelers, and anyone who wants a dependable meal without the hassle.
Both restaurants are located at The Landing and are open to both hotel guests and the public. They are also especially convenient for travelers in between plans due to our proximity to key transportation hubs, whether that means arriving before check-in, waiting on a ferry connection, or stopping in before departure. For added ease, The Landing offers secure luggage storage for the day so you can settle in for a meal without having to keep your bags with you.
One of the best things about dining at The Landing is that the two establishments complement each other: The Diner has the kind of classic, feel-good atmosphere that makes breakfast or lunch easy, while The Portside gives a more novel gastropub vibe with drinks, classic pub foods, and seasonal Alaskan seafood. This mix of food options means there’s something for everyone.
The Landing sits across from the Alaska Marine Highway and Inter-Island ferry terminals, and just down the road from the Airport ferry, making both restaurants especially easy to work into an arrival day, departure day, or a meal in between plans.
The Diner is relaxed, familiar, and easy to come back to, which is part of why it is a favorite food option for both locals and travelers.
