Reviews Summary

Pucker Wilson's is a beloved Juneau food truck, often highlighted for its exceptional pulled pork and creative fries. While many praise the burgers and friendly service, a few reviews mention issues with burnt or soggy food, suggesting inconsistency.

"WOW!! We saw Pucker Wilson’s on an episode of DDD as we were planning a trip to Alaska. We knew we wanted to try it then. Thankfully everything worked out in our favor and we were able to! We had a cheeseburger, the special of the day, and the cowboy sundae fries. We live in a great bbq place, however, I’m not kidding when I say I think that is the best pulled pork that I have ever had! The special hot chicken sandwich was the perfect balance of spice. And the burger my husband of few words described as “really good!” Which from him is very high praise! Would I come back from Missouri just for this? Absolutely I would!"

Erin Dierksen

"Great burgers! Saw the reviews of this place and knew we had to try it as we were looking for a break from cruise ship food. We were not disappointed! The burger with the onion ring and bacon was awesome and the fries with the sauce were the icing on top. The girl working the truck (Kris?) was super friendly too. Highly recommend!"

"Chris was amazing and explained the menu to us. The burgers and three way fries were excellent. Large selection of hot sauces."

During the summer, Juneau’s food truck game is also strong, with everything from Pucker Wilson’s delicious fresh ground burgers to oysters with kelp pickles on weekends at The Port. You’ll find Juneau’s food truck zone in the gravel lot between Franklin Street and the cruise ship dock, or on the front lawn of the Juneau Arts and Culture Center (the JACC, pronounced “jack”). Other favorite trucks include Deckhand Dave’s Fish Tacos and Alaskan Crepe Escape.

​​With its giant sandwiches, Pucker Wilson’s is without a doubt, Juneau’s best restaurant for stuffing yourself. The boldly purple shack offers a walk-up window where you can grab your Fully Loaded Baked Taters and plop down on a picnic table to enjoy an al fresco lunch. Here, in Mendenhall Business Park (or on Whittier Street), the menu is stacked with flavor but its offerings are concise.
