Reviews for Olds River Inn, Restaurant & Brewery in Kodiak, AK
Went to restaurant with family because we had heard such good things. The view is great and the food tastes delicious.... Unfortunately, service was terrible that doesn?t make the drive out worth it. Was bummed that it didn?t go well and we were notthe only ones in the restaurant. Took 45 minutes ti sit down with a reservation, missing food from order, and kid?s order wasburned. Wasn?t checked on at all during meal. Halibut was very good, wish it was worth coming back for! Read more
They didn't seem to want our business. They wouldn't let us past the entey at 3:30, even though it says that they're open until... 4:00. There's not much for options around there if you're really hungry...so made it a bit extra disappointing. Read more
Definitely the best restaurant I went to in Kodiak in the week I visited. A local recommended it and I was hesitant to make the... long drive, but it was absolutely worth it. The beer is good, and the herb crusted halibut was fantastic! The space has a greatview, and all the workers were friendly. Read more
Excellent food in a very relaxed atmosphere. And if you can snag one of the chairs on the deck with a great view of the... mountains, it's even better. Note this is definitely a local's place, so you may wait or be shut out without a reservation -but chill with one of their excellent beers and relax, and if you can get a seat it will be worth it. We had great halibut andwent back twice within a week in late August 2021. Best food on Kodiak island! Read more
It had been quite a few years since I had dined here so we were all looking forward to it. Well long story short it took nearly... two hours to get our food which was two burgers and some fried shrimp. That's completely unacceptable. Especially for nearly a$100 meal. On the plus side the beer was great and they did move us from the cold deck to the inside when they could. But a 2hrwait with no sort of compensation or anything but a verbal "sorry" will prevent me from eating there again. Sure I'll go forbeers but that's about it. Edit: Fortunately I did leave a tip equivalent to the service recieved. In the restaurant businessyou work as a team and at some point the servers were failed by their team members. I'd recommend hiring more staff as they dowork hard and the issue seems to be fundamental from the top down. Read more
Hands down the best restaurant and brewery on the entire island. The owner spent time to talk to me and make sure everything was... perfect. I had the blackened salmon and it was without a doubt the best seafood I?ve had in years. I will make it a point tocome here on a regular basis Read more
Worth a shot. Had a rough visit awhile back ago, but the owner who is always present, had asked us to give them a second shot... and they did not disappoint. the Bacon Wrapped Halibut bites were truly great, and were only made better with the dijon sauce.Their Children's menu is smaller than most other restaurants, but the food is great, and the children loved it. Service was fastand attentive. With a small batch onsite brewery, they can offer great IPA and many other variety that any craft beerconnoisseur would enjoy. The distance from town makes for a great drive on this beautiful island, and you are sure to see somewildlife on the way, and the view from your seat will beat anything in town. This place is worth your time and you will not bedisappointed. My many thanks to the staff and owner, you are truly providing first class food and service. Also, the ChocolateLava Cake, was the family favorite! Read more
Made a reservation for 2 to have brunch on a Sunday. When we showed up, the place was half-full. Nobody helped us so we sat by... the window, a waitress told that we can?t seat there? why? ?It?s reserved!? Don?t we have a reservation? We got moved withoutmuch explanation. Bunch of waiting and many attitudes later we finally got our meal. Cold and mediocre. We tried to rectify butwe just got more attitudes. They brought us the check instead of an easy replacement of a couple of food items. 2+ hours laterwe paid and left to go find a place to eat. Did I see some other review about ?tips? and ?respect for servers? response fromthis establishment? I agree!!! But I didn?t leave a tip, you don?t deserve my money or my respect. I wouldn?t eat here againeven if it was free. Read more
