The succulent sweetness of the pineapple dances harmoniously with the irresistible smokiness of the ham, truly tantalizing the taste buds.

This place has an absolutely amazing atmosphere, with the rainy Ketchikan days and the upside down cars, this place really knows their stuff. My story of Burger Queen probably starts like many other peoples. I had arrived in Ketchikan on the Princess Majestic Cruise ship, my room steward was Atri, the world’s greatest room steward. He had the powers to make a bed come from the wall, remembered my name the whole trip. Now Ketchikan was great, but my time at Burger Queen made it so much more enjoyable. When I ordered I got chicken tenders with BBQ sauce, because I love BBQ sauce. The food was delicious, but one thing that set them apart was the fact that they were on a mountain side. So as I’m digging into my chicken tenders, everybody is looking at something, what is it, ITS A CAR..FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN. Like what, how does that even happen. Okay so everyone is investigating, but suddenly a man yells, “Get back, the gas is gonna explode.” This was funny because there were two men who walked over and looked at the car and actually addressed the situation, and there was no chance that would happen. Now what do you gain from this story, don’t judge a book by its cover. Just because the car was flipped, it didn’t mean it would explode. Burger Queen was the greatest experience, and I would go back in a heartbeat.

I’ve been waiting to return to Ketchikan to go to Burger Queen, and finally today I am back and this is one of my first stops. Currently they only have outdoor service, order from window and take away or eat at one of the two picnic tables. The burgers are great here, the wait is worth it. There was no line when I ordered and it took about 12 minutes for my order to be ready. Not bad considering last time I was here two years ago it was about 30 minute wait. I got the barbecue cheeseburger which has cheddar, bacon and bbq sauce. It was amazing, as expected. I don’t know what they do to make the burger so good here! It’s a very small nondescript place, you would not expect something so good out of a place that looks like this!

A cruise ship crew recommended this restaurant to me. He told me most of their staff come here when ship docks. so I decided to give it a try and I was glad I did. My friends told me the burger was delicious. I really loved my fish and chips. It was cooked just right and the batter was crispy. The fries were golden and crispy. It took a bit of time before we got our orders, but it was worth the wait. It's a small little restaurant with just a few tables and a few seats outside. Very decent prices. I really enjoyed this restaurant!

If it hasn’t been voted Best Burger in Ketchikan then I will gladly give it that designation. We were having drinks across the street and ordered a burger. They brought it to us at the bar which was amazing service. The burger was really good and prepared very well. We had one order of fries and it was enough for two people. Most bars don’t serve food so places like Burger Queen in Ketchikan are always an amazing option for quality and service.
