Highly highly recommend eating at this restaurant and trying the specials! Had such amazing dishes. These are the crab cake, duck breast and salmon special. I can’t wait to come back and try more food. Thank for the incredible meals!

Pleasantly surprised to find such a great restaurant in a tiny mountain town! So good we went twice – everything tasted great but my favorite was the salmon special. The salmon was perfectly cooked with crispy skin and tender meat, and the combination of sauces/rice/veg made it an outstanding dish. Only thing I wouldn’t order again are the fries but personally I don’t love shoestring fries. It gets very busy during peak hours but service is quick and great. Must-visit for anyone in the area.

I still couldn’t fathom how one of the best meal I ever had is at the middle of nowhere, no cellular signal town McCarthy Alaska. How do you get the ingredients and one of the best chefs in the world there? The addition of grapes into the prawn curry is so bold and refreshing. I’m inspired.

Genuinely good food, not just by mountain town standards. Love it!

My husband and I visited McCarthy for the first time and due to the small size of the town and its geographic location, we expected poor food and restaurant options (we’re from Los Angeles so our standards for restaurants are pretty high). However, we were shocked by the menu and food quality! We ordered the salmon and Chugach cheesesteak with a miso salad and hand-cut curly fries. Everything was delicious. My husband doesn’t like salads very much and he usually dislikes any miso or Asian-flavored salads, but he ate more than half of mine because it was so good! Everything was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. There was also a great beer and wine list to pair.
When traveling we try not to go back to the same restaurant twice so we can try a variety of places, but we had to make an exception for this one and ended up back here for breakfast! Again, we were pleasantly surprised with the quality and flavor of the food. We ordered the hummus wrap (I saved half for lunch) and the potatohead burrito, both were very delicious. The coffee and tea were also excellent (and I am a self-proclaimed tea snob).
On top of the great tasting food, we enjoyed the surrounding natural environment and chill vibe. The service was also stellar.

Stranded in McCarthy with nothing to do?
Go hit up the Potato. Easily the best place to go when in town.
We stayed out in Wrangell-St. Elias for 4 days and pretty much everyday, we went to the Potato. In the process we met probably one of the most friendly waitresses you’ll ever meet. She was so accommodating, made lots of conversation, and was very attentive to everyone.
The vibe is very nice, the outdoor patio is very spacious, and they have a bunch of friendly dogs around too! The environment overall is very entertaining and accommodating.
As for food, everything was fantastic! Their fries however were probably my favorite thing to get there. Fried to perfection. And seasoned super well! I didn’t get very many photos since we were busy having fun with our waitress. Sorry lol.
So overall, this has to be the best place to go if you have success in the journey out to McCarthy.

The Potato is one of my all time favorite restaurants! I come here every time I am in McCarthy and am never disappointed. Awesome staff, a casual, dog friendly environment and amazing food! Their specials and black bean breakfast burritos are my favorite, but everything else is delicious (not a bad thing on the menu)! Great wine and beer list and banging Mac and cheese! If you are lucky enough to be in McCarthy, go here!!!

For how absolutely remote and removed this restaurant is from everything, it’s very good food for a very good price. I had the Potatohead Burrito with Chorizo ( ), and my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. We got normal and garlic/rosemary fries to try both. It was all great, well priced, and the service was phenomenal as well. A must-stop in McCarthy.
