★★★★★ 5.0 Gregory Stearns · May 2025

Specifically got off our cruise ship to enjoy a crab roll at Red Herring, given the wonderful reviews. Took an earlier shuttle bus to town and walked around the galleries until 11 o’clock, had a great snow crab sandwich and enjoyed the visit to Sitka. Weather was a little cold and rainy, nice to have sheltered canopy while eating. On the way out, back on the bus, nice to see a decent line firming at this food truck. Staff was kind and friendly, set up and opened for business on time, and made a delicious crab roll. Will be back on my next trip.

This has been a go-to spot every time I’m in Sitka. The food is always great; I got a crab roll and their wild blueberry yerba mate, both of which I recommend. The Red Herring has great food and great vibes. I’ll definitely be back.

We had the wild blueberry sweet tea and a lovely snow crab roll. Very easy to find and quite delicious!

★★★★★ 5.0 Bianca Strom · Aug 2025

We tried Red Herring today when we had a stop from our cruise. We tried the crab roll (delicious), reindeer sausage (amazing) and the blueberry ice tea (more please!). Everything was spectacular, truly. The quality and freshness of the food is obvious and the flavors are *chef’s kiss*. The people running the truck are very kind too. Thanks guys! Wish I could find them back home!

Please do not waste your time on Halibut fish and chips. Not sure what they were using but not Halibut. Not cod either. Fries/fish tasted like it was time to change the oil. Cannot recommend
