Located at Mile 15.9 in historic Hope, Alaska, Dirty Skillet is the on-site restaurant for Hope Alaska Bear Creek Lodge. Our unique restaurant is a small return to the early 1900 mining days when prospectors found gold in the Resurrection and Six Mile creeks.

Dirty Skillet has a wood burning cook stove in the small lounge and a full glass wall that looks out over Bear Creek Pond. Guests can eat in the bar or lounge area, or enjoy their meal on the deck or by the pond.

We serve hearty, heaping, home-cooked style foods in an authentic old Alaskan mining venue.

The “live music” ruined everything. The solo guitarist was terrible, and so incredibly loud, that it overshadowed the meal.

It was a quick day trip from Anchorage to Hope, stopped by Dirty Skillet for some food which was amazing and enjoyed lovely performance by ukulele guy. We had so much fun, laughed a lot and left with full bellies. Definitely recommended and coming back.

We were next to a large tourist group but otherwise enjoyed our dinner experience. They had kids running everywhere and appeared a bit rude.

The Dirty Skillet is the best little restaurant in one of Alaska's best little towns. The staff is the best, and the food is incredible.
