The halibut and chips is pretty good if a tad spare with the halibut "chunks." The plank salmon on my second (larger) visit was ok. Just ok. Not a whole lot of flavor, which is odd even a bit off-season, and no skin to keep it from gluing to the wood. Humpy's has a good array of taps, including quite a few Alaska brews. The open-mic band had to contend with Thunderdome-on-ice playoffs of some form, but they still managed to belt out classic rock covers. So Humpy's is a quite good denizen of the big, sports-ish bar category, which I readily admit isn't my favorite category.
It is funny, though. When I went places on my own, I tended to get very good service (including here). When I went places with a group of obviously non-local people, well, service tended more towards the "yeah, they're tourists and we'll never see them again" side.
