There sure are fine eatin places in Seward. The  MARINA RESTAURANT at the boat harbor is one of the them.

Except for guns and rifles, I’ve got a hard time letting go of my hard earned money, so I always try the TIGHT-WAD SPECIALS menu and cup of coffee to wake me up for breakfast. For the price, the big servings and the coffee refills fill my belly and am ready to meet the challenges of the day. For amusement while chowing down my meal and sipping coffee, I listen to the old-timers in the corner chatter about Seward in the old days; about guns and rifling tricks; mining stories of gold rush around these mountains;  and of course about best fishing spots in the bay, lakes and the streams in around Seward. Inside the eatery ain’t bad either. The pictures and trophies hangin on the walls and over windows will give ya enough clues to tell ya stories about the Seward Community and the owner. Tipping is a big deal for some of us especially when the service ain’t good. I will bet a thousand YAKS that the waitresses at the eartery are the finest. I have no regrets tipping them.

Til this day, I don’t know who the owner is. I do know there’s a sign at the counter that reads, FORGET THE DOG, BEWARE OF OWNER. Sounds like a rough and tough kind of guy or gal to me.

Through thick and thin, the harsh winters and lack of tourists , the owner has managed to keep the eatery open all winter. Some say the eatery ain’t making no money during these times. I do believe it.

The big portion dishes, listening to the real life stories of these old-timers sure make a heck of a meal and a memorial one every day I can afford to eat at  MARINA RESTAURANT. As for the owner, some of us are mighty thankful for keeping your business open and providing jobs in the community.
