Douglas Cafe — Restaurant in Juneau

Me and my husband are pretty easy going when it comes to food and give things a fair shot, but the food here was just not good. My husband tried the big boy burger and it was pretty flavorless. It was burger so you can't really mess it up unless you burn it to death, but it was definitely the worst burger we've had in town. I tried the chicken parmesan and it was inedible. The chicken tasted like it had been previously cooked, got freezer burnt, and then got thrown in a microwave before being plated. It had the texture of gristle and it had zero flavor aside from the shredded cheese half melted over top. It came with "fettuccine", which was just plain noodles with shredded cheese melted over top, and a steamed veggie medley that was complete mush, had no seasoning, and, if you were blindfolded, you wouldn't be able to tell the carrots from the broccoli.

My husband has never seen me react to food like that so he tried a bite as well with the same result; it ended up in his napkin. Everything on my plate was either plain or bitter. The onion rings and side salad my husband had were fine. Simple mixed greens that tasted like the stuff you get from a bag at Fred's.

One of Juneau's hidden food gems. I save 3 stars for average, 4 for above average and 5 for holy cow--I can't believe it's not butter! Douglas Cafe (Doug Cafe) is one of my favorite local haunts for its casual atmosphere and quality food. Honestly, for eating out in Juneau, between the regular menu and specials, this is one of my favorite places. They're not going to make a major magazine anytime soon but the food is quality American fare. Downsides: The casual atmosphere won't impress your prom date, and I've had better items here and there; but, I've never been disappointed...

The food was presented nicely on our dishes. Our server knee my parents from previous visits and was sure my Dad was filled on his Decaf coffee and that it was made fresh. She talked to my parents. However, my Biscuits and Gravy came and tasted garlicy like my Dads fried rice smelled. The food was good, just not used to so much garlic. Friendly,...
