The Double Musky Inn originally started in 1962 as a ski bar; customers would come from far and wide as they explored Alaska’s vast lands to enjoy a steak dinner they cook themselves over a fire or to have a go at dancing to a local polka band. It was taken over by the Persons in 1979, who slowly converted the inn to an establishment that is now recognized by such publications as Bon Appetit, Fodor’s, the New York Times, and Esquire, who described Double Musky as “the last great American roadhouse.” Their menu has an assortment of appetizers, entrees, and desserts, many of which focus on Cajun flavors; be sure to try the stuffed halibut served with Creole beurre blanc sauce, their pepper steak, or the shrimp and sausage jambalaya.
