Front Street Cafe, Juneau, AK

This might be my new favorite restaurant to visit, every time I've been here the food is amazing and it keeps me coming back. With everything homemade, including the sauces, this has become one of my favorite places to eat. Located in the historic Imperial Billiards and Bar and serving what I consider comfort food, and the ultimate high end bar food, I have yet to try anything here that isn't amazing.

The first time I was here, I had the Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich. Made with a hand breaded, boneless, skinless chicken thigh, in house, homemade ranch dressing, bacon, Swiss cheese, and red onions, this sandwich is nothing short of amazing. The chicken is breaded and fried in front of you, to order, which makes for a juicy, tender piece of chicken that tastes delicious. Add the bacon, swiss, and homemade dressing, and this could be one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I recommend getting the fries, which are also made to order, and then hand tossed with seasoning.

Another favorite of mine at Front Street Cafe, is the Fried Chicken Basket. This basket comes with two hand breaded and cooked to order, chicken thighs, the same hand tossed fries, and coleslaw. The chicken and fries are the same delicious ones that come with the sandwich, but the coleslaw that comes with this is fantastic. Not made from your typical mayonnaise based slaw sauce, this slaw is a Carolina style, apple vinegar based sauce. The sauce is homemade and it doesn't sit on the slaw making it mushy, it is added to the cabbage and tossed before serving, making for a crunchy, very flavorful coleslaw.

Front Street Cafe has also recently added a smoker and is currently making ribs, jerk chicken, and their own sausages. If you ever find yourself in Juneau and are tired of Russian Dumplings definitely check them out, they are open late, and have amazing food at good prices.
