The menu at Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse entices seafaring stomachs and carnivorous canines alike.

Hunger-havers of greater magnitude can dive fork-first into a smoked salmon caesar salad ($7.99 side, $13.99 dinner) or incisor-attack a prime-rib sandwich ($14.99).

• The Alaskan King Crab is worth every penny. The rich and flavorful crab is bright red and loaded with excellence. – Bite and Booze
• Being from the Northwest, I'm used to great Halibut and this definitely delivered. The fish was moist and fresh as fresh can be, with a piping hot battered crunch. – Colleen W., Yelp, 9/23/10
