My favorite restaurant in Ketchikan is Ocean View. It's a Mexican/Italian restaurant a few miles north of the cruise ship docks. I know that a combination of Mexican and Italian may seem a little strange, but I promise you'll love the food. They have a small patio, so if the weather is nice you can sit outside. Sometimes the service can be a slow, but it's worth it.
Another good restaurant is inside of the Cape Fox Lodge. You can take the red tram (located on Creek Street) up to the lodge. They have a wonderful view overlooking the town. Great food and service.
If you're looking for a casual burger place, eat a Burger Queen. It's a tiny burger joint just north of the tunnel. They have a few tables inside, and picnic tables outside. Great milkshakes too!
If you want ice cream, coffee, espresso, or smoothies, go to Polar Treats. It's a cute little shop with yummy snacks and great coffee. I always stop by on my way home from work and treat myself to a smoothie.
Many restaurants and businesses in town have that good old fashioned "mom & pop" feel to them. That's what I love about Ketchikan. You're not bombarded with franchises. You get the old school experience of "the customer is always right." You don't see that too often anymore, so I like to take advantage when I can.
