The Double Musky Inn

Alaska's Mountain Cajun Cuisine

Tucked away off a gravel road in the charming ski town of Girdwood, Alaska, the Double Musky Inn serves up the finest lamb, steak and seafood with an emphasis on spices and seasonings with a New Orleans accent. Originally from the South, owners Bob and Deanna Persons imported Cajun cuisine to this mountain town and in the process earned international acclaim. The Double Musky Inn was named one of the top 10 restaurants in America by the Food Network's Jill Cordes. Together with their son Justin (a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef) and his wife and partner Kinzee, Bob and Deanna delight in providing the most genuine Cajun experience to all with their sumptuous cuisine and festive decor.
