What customers say?

“ I've been coming back to Dirty Skillet again and again over the years and honestly? It’s just that good. Every visit is a whole vibe — I’m obsessed with their cozy outdoor seating and the little table fires (so cute and toasty!). The food? Always fresh, full of flavor, and totally delish. I especially love when there's live music outside on certain days— it just adds that extra magic. If you're in the area, this spot is an absolute must. I always get excited for my next visit! ”

“ This place is special! We live out on the Aleutians so we don’t make it to Hope as often as we’d like, but the amazing food, the atmosphere, and - if you are very lucky - maybe Saturday Cinders is performing, all combine to make this maybe our favorite place to eat in Alaska. They are closed for the season now, but do yourself a favor and give them a try in 2026! ”
