    I haven't had a seafood boil in a while, and this place definitely satisfied my craving. We got spice level 3, and it was the perfect amount of heat for me, just a little kick. For reference, I have a pretty weak spice tolerance and the max I usually handle is Hot Cheetos. The staff was super friendly and checked in often to see if we needed drink refills. The space was roomy and cutely designed, great for large parties or group dinners. They were out of clams and spotted prawns during our visit, so we will definitely be coming back to try those next time. Great spot for a satisfying seafood fix!

    Can I just say how nice it was for my daughter's boyfriend to bring this home for us! I haven't ate much seafood boil, but he really likes the Crawfish House in Renton. I'm glad that I was able to have this for dinner after a long day of work. They brought home seafood boil with snow crab, corns, shrimps, and crawfish. I believe the sauce was Cajun, garlic butter which was recommended to him by the server. Even though this was brought home, it was still yummy! Which is very nice of them and it was good like they said! I'm not sure how things look like in the inside or outside, but I will try to visit them soon so I can give you more details on that.

    My family and I are visiting from San Diego and we absolutely enjoyed our dinner here at Crawfish house. The food was delicious, the women working were amazing (shoutout Evyvon), and it was surprisingly CHEAP for ALL the food we got. Two 3 lb boils with crab,shrimp, crawfish, corn, sausage, rice, fried catfish/fries, fried gizzards, shrimp, teriyaki chicken & rice, AND cheesy garlic bread. Definitely come here.

    Have been here 20+ times since 2010....this is the first time I'm giving it a review lmao. Every visit has been solid. A restaurant that can stay open this long and consistent in quality every time is a staple in the community.

    Really great experience here. Popped in around 5ish and the place as pretty empty, maybe 2 other tables but as time went on it steadily began to fill. Service is super friendly. Restaurant itself is open and provides good space between tables / patrons. Little dirty but honestly cleaner than a lot of other places. Big menu and lots sounded good. Ordered the 1/2 oyster po'boy and yuca fries but was definitely tempted by the soft shell crap option. I like that you can also choose between all the fries (regular, tots, Cajun, yuca and yam). Also tried the dirty rice roll, not sure why I was expecting a sushi type roll but what came out was incredible. Think a massive effort roll full of delicious dirty rice but mostly meat and the sauce was sweet and full of crawfish. Every bite was good and it was so comforting. That sauce was also incredible on everything, I ended up dipping my yuca fries in to it. The po'boy bread was thick and super crunchy- so much so that it actually tore my mouth up but the oysters were fat and hefty, making for a really good bite. The fries were dense and fried to perfection. Next time I'd order a side of fries and just pour that crawfish sauce on it to make my own entree.

    The Renton location of the Crawfish House is relatively new-ish. The restaurant is well-sized, but the parking lot was surprisingly limited even though the adjacent business was closed then. We were lucky to have grabbed a spot that someone vacated. When we arrived, a huge group was done eating and otherwise, only 2 or 3 tables were occupied. Even so, the two wait persons were quite busy. Maybe it is still growing pains in managing the restaurant. The décor is basically TV screens, several of them. I have never been to the other location, so I don't know if they aim to be a sports bar, too. A piece of paper at the door announced no crawfish. Ah well. We decided against ordering seafood boil because of it. We ordered ahead of two other tables who sat down after us. All three tables received our food at the exact same time at a substantially longer wait for our table. This tells me they are batch-cooking in the kitchen, grouping orders together. I hope they change to cook per order. Our fries visually looked good but were limp upon biting. They could have used more frying time. We took home most of the yam fries to air-fry some more. The Food: Catfish Basket with yam fries, $12.99 - 3.5 Stars Half Soft-Shell Crab po boy sandwich with yam fries, $8.99 - 3.5 Stars Oyster po boy sandwich with yam fries, $13.99 - 3.5 Stars The treatment of each seafood is similar. They are all well-seasoned and well fried. All the seafoods are 4 stars. All the yam fries are 3 stars because they need more cooking time. I decided to round up to 4 stars because their prices are reasonable.

    I've been going to the original restaurant in white center. Now since they open one in renton, I love it even more. Easy parking in front and back. Plenty of space, clean and more upgraded version from the white center one. This one is very specious. This time we ordered craffish chowder, Louisiana crawfish, clam and headless shrimps in House special seasoning, and we also ordered any 2 combo of Fried calamari and Fried mushrooms, soooo good and lastly, we got Smothered Catfish. And yes, we are so full!! Ps: the owner and servers are super friendly.

    The staff here is amazing. I love the tango sauce but I always feel like it's a hit or miss here. The White Center location is definitely imo. Unfortunately whenever I come here i do have to wait really long. My dad and I ended up waiting over an hour to get our food. Although we did have yummy drinks to keep us occupied, it's a pretty long wait. Clams were huge and delicious but I felt like the crawfish was a bit overcooked. And the shrimp with head on seems to always be yummy and consistent here for me.

    Always amazing piping hot fresh food! Service is always really good and environment is clean and nice highly recommend this is my 10th time coming

    I been waiting for this place for a while now since I really enjoyed the food in white center. The rating is more of a 3.5 right now but I'm hoping it's because they are new that they will improve. There was about 3-4 groups when we got there so it wasn't too busy. It was also happy hour so everything was $1 off except for the boil. The place is not too loud so it was nice and I like the openess of the restaurant making it bright. Foodwise: 1lb mussels + 1lb shrimp --- fresh, plump and yummy. Wish that potato and corn would be included but it's not, unless you order crawfish Crawfish corn chowder --not sure if they chopped up the crawfish too fine but did not get any crawfish at all. Soft shell crab plate with Cajun fries -- pretty good need more fries though Raw oysters: fresh, but needs better shucking, there was a lot of oyster shells remnant which makes it hard to eat Service: people were nice and came by to refill our water and asked how our food was. However, food came out very slowly. We ordered a second plate of the oyster and that one took soo long that the waiter keeps coming by asking if we were waiting for the check...it wasn't that busy so not sure why the slowness. Overall, I'll come back later as I do like the food but maybe give it a few months for them to improve the service.

A couple of the wings weren't cooked all the way. We opted for the Dungeness crab combo with their signature sauce. The flavor was good but the crab definitely did not taste like it was fresh. For the price you pay ($87.00) I just expected more. This place has great reviews so willing to check it back out again and (hopefully) go have a better experience

I first reached out on April 12th with a few possible dates and an estimated guest count of 15-18. I received an immediate reply the next morning from Rob Miller, who guided me through every step of the planning process with professionalism, warmth, and clarity.Although the initial information focused on their private dining room, Rob worked closely with me after our conversation to secure the patio instead. A perfect choice for a July shower, especially since the indoor rooms didn't have windows. He made sure I could personalize the table arrangements to reflect my daughter in law's personality, include a small gift table, and offer an open menu for our guests. Communication was seamless, and I was able to update the guest count right up until the week of the event. All forms were easy to complete and sent exactly when expected.On the day of the shower, the patio table was set beautifully, exactly as promised. Our servers, Becky and Madison (a trainee), were exceptional. Their service was warm, attentive, and highly professional. The food, including the mocktails and brunch beverages, was absolutely delicious, truly perfection. Every guest had a wonderful time, and my son and daughter in law felt relaxed and celebrated.Thank you to the entire Water's Table team (e.g., event planning, valet, hostess, servers, chefs, florist (Athina), and everyone behind the scenes), for making this day everything I envisioned for my kids. Your excellence and kindness made our first grandbaby's shower unforgettable. With deepest gratitude, Julie Meile

The hostess was friendly and welcoming, and we were seated within about five minutes of arriving, which was a great start. The service was excellent... until it wasn't, which ultimately left a sour taste. Our server was attentive and personable early on, but as the restaurant got busier, she was clearly given more tables than she could reasonably handle. It wasn't her fault, it appeared to be a management issue. By the end of the meal, it took nearly 20 minutes to receive our check and another 10 minutes for our credit card to be run. I ordered the filet with a baked potato and added grilled shrimp, which I split with my dining partner. The filet absolutely lived up to the hype. It was like butter, perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. The shrimp were equally impressive with great seasoning and a perfect char. We both started with the blue cheese salad. It was good, but if you're expecting a bold blue cheese flavor, you may be disappointed. It was much milder than expected. The complimentary bread service consisted of two rolls that were unfortunately overbaked and rock hard. It wasn't a huge deal, but it wasn't the best first impression of the meal. I also thought charging an extra $2 for cheese and sour cream on a baked potato was a bit excessive especially for a $84 meal. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner, and the steak was excellent. However, the experience didn't quite live up to the reputation or the effort it takes to get a reservation. Between the service falling apart toward the end of the meal and a few small disappointments, I'm not sure we'll be rushing back anytime soon.

On our visit we ordered the Westlake beef soup, fried eggplant with spicy garlic, seafood chow fun with gravy, and the salt and pepper fried chicken wings. Every single dish was served piping hot and fresh. The chow fun had a hint of the wok char which is super important. And each dish was delicious. The eggplant was so tasty. The garlic extra crispy and not bitter at all. The crispy coating around the tender eggplant- exceptional! The chow fun was well balanced. The seafood cooked perfectly. The chicken wings, I only wish it had more topping on it. But fried well, light batter and seasoned to perfection. The soup was light and with a little white pepper, I was so satisfied. We will definitely be back. The service was great. They were friendly. Just a tip, they don't take American Express.
