Definitely worth the trip out . The atmosphere was great everyone was friendly, the place was clean & felt like a locals spot. Food was decent, 4 of the 6 really enjoyed their meals. Clam chowder was a favorite.

This is such a great place to eat on the other side of town. The owner was very nice and helpful. She helped us pick out what to order and was very quick and efficient. The food came out so fast & hot.
There is a full bar along with a pool table and darts to enjoy. It is pretty outdated though.
The food was excellent! There were no complaints! Everything was so filling, tasted fresh, and great quality. The cod sandwich was delicious and the fish tacos were incredible, it’s a go to dish. The smoked salmon pasta was very good, I could eat that every day! The clam chowder tasted so good, it had so much flavor, slightly spicy, but it was mainly full of potatoes and only one small clam. It was also more of a soup than a chowder since it was more watery and not thick at all. I prefer chowder to be thick and creamy, but the taste was super delicious!
This is a great spot if you’re on your way home from fishing, or just want to take a nice drive and enjoy some great food!

Google hours are wrong. Kitchen is only open for a few hours on Tuesday-Friday. Closed kitchen on Saturday-Monday.
Their website reflects the new hours.
Came back on Tuesday to try the food.
Salmon burger was moist & tasty. Clam chowder was REALLY good with a spicy kick.
(Photo shows it with saltines in it, a throwback to my childhood).
Quick & pleasant service. Glad we came back.

Beer, sure. Food. Not so much. Convenient if close, otherwise pass. Food will not be how you ordered it. Do not order clam chowder. See video.

*edit 11/24/25* I have since moved away from Kodiak and I believe the rendezvous is under new ownership. My review is based on the past owners, not the current ones. I heard they remodeled the place, which makes me sad. I can’t tell you how many good memories I have at that place. Unless the same guys back there cooking, I can’t vouch for the food anymore. I just wanted to make it clear that my recommendation and photos are not what you might encounter now. I’m not saying to not go there and eat, I’m saying don’t base your expectations on my previous review which is below.*
It’s all been said before, so I will just say it’s all true, the Rendezvous is a great place for food and drink. Also, a beer and fish tacos are where it’s at! The burger was also done right, with a good toasted bun and fresh lettuce and tomato. The chowder rules, it’s very unique and enjoyable.

Was not able to order any food as their kitchen was closed, though there were a couple people having a sandwich on a plate and what ever else they were eating. From other reviews, the kitchen is closed Saturday, Sunday, Monday and open for service Tuesday thru Friday.
Bartender was pleasant and engaging 🙂

One of the best places in Kodiak. Their hours for food is different but the atmosphere is typical Alaska and the staff is great. A must if you are in Kodiak.

Rendezvous is one of our favorite spots for dinner and drinks, or if we have been out the road all day and need a good hearty meal. Friday night’s are steak nights, where they grill steaks on the back grill and are perfection. They are also kid friendly and accommodate the menu offering grilled cheese and chicken quesadillas. Some favorites of ours are the BLT which is loaded with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce and tomatoes and a side of handcut fries. The clam chowder is made in house and is my favorite chowder on the island. The salmon burger and halibut burger are also a favorite of mine. The Philly cheese steak is loaded with tender pieces of beef,mushrooms,peppers, onions and cheese. The pasta salad is a smoked salmon pasta salad and a side is a great addition to any meal. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Fish tacos, steak tacos, burgers, fish and chips. It’s all local and fresh!!!

Excellent food and drinks. A true Kodiak gem. Nice place to hang out, get a bite to eat, and catch up with friends. Their clam chowder is world-class and the best in Kodiak.
