What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Timberline Bar & Grill offers a unique dining experience with its spectacular mountaintop views, accessible via a scenic tram ride. While many praise the stunning scenery and some dishes like the crab nachos and scallops, others find the food overpriced for its quality and occasionally inconsistent. Service can be friendly, but order fulfillment errors have been noted.
"Great food and service. Definitely recommend the chicken teriyaki sandwich and the fish and chips and if you get the nachos, bring a football team to finish them. They’re no joke!"
Randy Martin Hurtado
"The Timberline Bar and Grill is located on Mount Roberts in Juneau. One rides the Goldbelt Tram up to the restaurant. They offer American food, and a full bar, as well as Seafood and are Vegetarian and kid-friendly. The views are of the Gastineau Channel in front and mountain waterfalls in back, from the outside patio. There is a lovely gift shop and clean restrooms.
This is a seasonal restaurant, closing at the end of October and reopening in April. Hours are subject to change due to weather conditions, but in the summer, they are usually open from 8-9. During the season, the restaurant offers live music and is available for private events.
One orders from the printed menu at the counter and pays before eating. Table service sets and condiments re self-serve. The food is then brought to your table.
We enjoyed our chili bread bowls. Both the chili and the bread-bowl were tasty; the chili was hot but not too spicy, and the bread-bowl was fresh. We felt that the portion size was a bit small.
I would recommend this place. The tram ride up was fun, and the restaurant was charming. It is accessible from the tram or one may hike up and ride down. Season Passes are available.
The tram base location is at the main cruise dock on Franklin St., and tickets may be purchased there."

"I only had the crab nachos. The crab meat is shredded and it's a little pricey. Served on a large platter, meant to be shared. At 1st hardly any topping, but they saw the disappointment on my face and brought out another."

Where the Locals Go – Alaska Experiential
No. 1 on my list is the Timberline Bar and Grill on top of Mount Roberts, a three-minute ride up the tramway. The food is good, but the mountain scenery, crisp, clean air and guide-friendly pricing makes this my top choice for a late lunch or dinner. Always watching my dollars, but not necessarily my waistline, I often scarf down a half-order of crab nachos or a “mountain-top cheeseburger.” If it is a spectacularly sunny day, be sure to dine on the deck.
