The bus driver, Clark was fabulous! He was a plethora of information about Alaska and her history and he was very kind, offering me his coat because I was cold. The food was very nice and the heaters around this outdoor activity were very helpful.

Our family loved the ambiance but thought the cost was really high for the food per person. The transport system was a little rocky with the way it was managed, Drivers were not counting as people entered the buses, requiring people to back out of bus and then missing opportunity to board the next bus because it was already being filled up. Fortunately buses were running often, but could have been smoother.

I had high hopes for the Juneau Gold Creek Salmon Bake, but unfortunately, it fell short in several key areas. The salmon was just okay—nothing memorable, and certainly not the star of the show as advertised. The ribs were served cold, which was a real letdown, and the baked beans were also cold and bland. For a place that prides itself on hearty Alaskan fare, the execution was surprisingly poor.
Drink options were extremely limited—barely more than lemonade-aid, iced tea. The outdoor setting could have been charming, but it felt more like a tourist churn than a genuine Alaskan experience.
Honestly, you’d be better off spending your money at a nice restaurant in town where the food is fresh, the drinks are flowing, and the service is attentive. This felt more like a box to check off a cruise itinerary than a culinary highlight. Disappointed.

Great food, fabulous, friendly staff. Good for all people regardless of mobility issues. Even the side dishes were fabulous. We roasted marshmallows And took the short easy hike to the waterfalls. Grounds are well kept, very clean. I'd do it again.

The atmosphere is great! Live music, plenty to eat, roasting marshmallows, gold mining, and a beautiful waterfall and creek. But the food was mediocre. They drop you off and you can stay and eat as long as you want to. Buses leave every 20-25 minutes to return you to town. Kids would probably love it.

We had another good visit at this salmon bake. We come here every time we are in town. We like to improvement they kept making on the ground, Service and food was really good. We will come back again next time when we are in town.

This experience is designed to accommodate a large number of cruise tourists. The outdoor setting is pleasant beside a flowing creek and waterfall. The food is what you might expect from an all you can buffet; it's okay but not remarkable. My piece of grilled salmon was for my taste was overcooked and dry, although that be what cruise patrons prefer. I bought a pint of local amber beer which was quite good but the $10 a pint was a surprise. We tried the blueberry cake for dessert; the flavor was okay but it was so dry that it crumbled off of the fork. We also tried the hot apple cider. It was more like hot apple syrup, just too sweet for my pallet. The musician was excellent; he played a lot of easy listening James Taylor classics. It was not loud or obtrusive. I can recommend visiting Gold Creek Salmon Bake for the experience, but be aware that the food is average prepared for tourists who will probably never return. They do provide transportation to and from the cruise ship docks, but if you are staying in a hotel they will not accommodate you, but require you to find your way to the cruise dock pick up point.

This excursion was a great concept, food and scenery was nice, but they should definitely limit the number of people there at one time. You stood in line the majority of time you are there either for the buffet line or to get back on the bus, there is ONLY marshmallows, not Smores. A staff member said the management refuses to take that part off the listing. We probably wouldn’t do this again if we knew the facts.
