Smoke Shack Aka Uncle Bob's - Seward

Sorry it's closed! We walked from the Gateway Hotel and found the rail cars where The Smoke Shack used to be. Talked to a cool guy in a rail car espresso shop who filled us in. He recommended the Porthole food truck and Mermaid Grotto. We chose Mermaid Grotto since we wanted to sit down and be served. Cool place! Amazing view and house made biscuits.

Popped over to this spot while waiting on a boat tour and needing something quick, the folks from the hotel suggested the smoke Shack. Housed in an old train car so you have to order at the front window and pick-up from the back. There's no indoor seating, outdoor picnic style seating under tarps is what they have. Wouldn't be a bad idea on a nice day but it was cold and they didn't even have deck heaters. I ordered four breakfast burritos with sausage. They were huge, stuffed with eggs, sausage, potatoes, tomato, and cheese. Really good flavor but I wish they'd give more sausage and egg and less potato. All in all pretty good, would go back and try lunch next time.

Food is pretty good here, you seat outside but service and food is good so enjoy and go back as i did lol...

The Smoke Shack was recommended to us by a local and it sounded super cute. We came on a Saturday morning and waited under an hour for a table. The idea is very hip; they took an old train car and made it into a restaurant. Half the car is the kitchen and the other half is six tables!! We understood why the wait was so long after we went inside. There is a bathroom but it's in the back and looked super small so I didn't try it out on this visit. I loved the snow crab benedict but my friends had the Carmelitas which seems like the thing to get. Paired with coffee, the entire experience made for a cozy and memorable breakfast in Seward, that was worth waiting for.

No seating inside allowed right now was the only reason for my 4 stars...the eggs and bacon were great, service was very quick at the order window. Staff was super friendly. Sat outside under cover. Grits were gluten free and TO DIE FOR!!!!
