October 10,2023A woman I met outside of here got mad that her husband was smiling at me. I didnt fully realize he was married. She's had it in for me ever since. Like I'm the bad guy for his antagonistic behavior? Anyways I went to that place with my Mom one night. She wasn't our waiter. But she seemed pretty chummy with the one that was. When I gave her the tip. She said thank you an laughed an got saliva sprayed all over my face!?@# I feel like she did it on purpose. For the other chic.Another day, I went in there to use the bathroom. I heard yelling from mike? He was close to my ex. Not sure what he was saying. I can't hear ppl when they're yelling. He yelled again after I left. He was in front. I thought was strange. Thought he was a cook.Usually great service. The last time I was here. I had to grab menu's for my Mother & myself. The waitresses were taking too long to get to us. & one of them hates me for some reason. Not sure why. I never did anything to her. She always has a long face whenever I'm around. Doesn't talk. Light complected. Light brown hair. Kinda heavy.(see above)i feel i was set up.

Waited 40 minutes to get a take out sandwich and left with no food as they had not even started making it yet. Some of us don't have all day for lunch on a work day. Don't bother going unless you have 2 hours to spend.

I loved this place! Food was great, our waiter was great, and I loved the 50’s and 60’s theme!

We attempted to go to another nearby restaurant for lunch but unfortunately it was closed. We were starving, so decided to give this place a try... utter disappointment. Honestly, the two stars are for the service and cleanliness of the place. We both ordered cheesesteaks and while they were somewhat edible, they were the worst we had ever had. The bun wasn't toasted... the veggies barely cooked and sliced cheese barely melted. The fries & onion rings were typical and refills on drinks were good. I don't think I'd completely write them off... but I definitely wouldn't order the cheesesteak again.

One of my favorite stops of our trip food wise. While adventuring through the town on foot we came across the Pioneer Cafe by chance. My favorite thing g to do of course is get eggs Benedict everywhere I possibly can so I was pleased to see the chance here. We definitely lucked out and did not have to wait to be seated. It was definitely a miracle as everyone and their mom was getting off their cruise ships at the same time. This location gives off an old diner vibe and I’m here for it. Our server was phenomenal and while he was very funny, he was also efficient and kind. The food was delicious and definitely hit the spot .

A perfect little cafe for breakfast! We were greeted with a smile, seated immediately, and were served our food very quickly! My eggs were made perfectly to order, as well as other special requests accommodated by the kitchen here. Just a good old fashioned diner-vibe, these little original restaurants are some of my favorite places for breakfast!

It's time to update my review from many years ago. Boy, have things ever picked up at The Pioneer over the past few years. Efficient, friendly servers, traditional diner food prepared well, tables are cleaned and turned over quickly, the drinks get refilled before you have to ask, and they make a cinnamon roll the size of your head, which, with a cup of coffee, is the best thing ever on a cold, rainy morning. We love it here.

My wife and I were in Ketchikan for 10 days. We were fortunate enough to discover this restaurant the second day. This is a truly outstanding classic diner-like restaurant that serves breakfast all day. Everything is excellent. I had a Reuben sandwich for lunch and it was excellent - much, much better than a Reuben at Katz Deli in New York. I had the hobo hash browns - wonderfully excellent. I had Salmon Benedict and it was excellent - better than the top rated and most expensive bistro in Washington DC. The wife is a carrot cake snob and she loved theirs. Everything we ate was a home run. They don't have a cook, they have a 3 star Micheline chef. One morning they were packed extra full. The waitress said they were "slammed" in the kitchen and that our food would take some time. I could see those guys in the back working hard and still they cranked out outstanding food. Three mornings I got up extra early by myself when there was hardly a sole on the streets and sat at the counter of the Pioneer Cafe for biscuits and gravy. Who would have though a restaurant you be one of the best memories of a vacation. I so much wish this restaurant was in my town.
