My husband and I stopped by last night with our kids and met the sweetest owner. We should've gotten his name but completely forgot and utterly shocked how sweet and kind he was to us. We came in pretty late too and he still let all of us sit and eat. The foods were 10/10. Portions were also 10/10. Service? It was beyond what we expected. He even gave us homemade juices and it was amazing! The kumquats ones. We even brought some back to the hotel. The claw machine and the cotton candy machine was a nice touch! My son and daughter LOVES it and the owner was still chatting with us. The prices were much cheaper than what we'd get in Portland. (Where we're from) overall, this definitely will be our stable spots once we're in Seattle again. 10/10. read more

This is a solid place. I have been here a few times and tried out different things. The boils are the best thing they have IMO. The cost is fair and flavors are good. My biggest issue, is how well the seafood is cleaned. During my last visit, I noticed that non of the shrimp was cleaned. That grossed me out. If I went again, would avoid getting that. I recently had the catfish poboy. It was just okay. It looked better than it tasted. I can't put my finger on why it wasn't that great, but it was just very "meh". The fries were really good though. Services is okay. They always seem to struggle with service, regardless of how busy the place is. But they are nice. Ambience is what you'd expect at a place like this. Nothing spectacular, but not dirty. I would love if they had a better ventilation system. The friend smells and spices are extremely strong! Overall, a solid restaurant, but if you're looking for a place with high quality seafood, may want to find another spot. read more

had the shrimp with house sauce and it was bland. the seasoning wasn't mixed well as it was buttery and powdery chunks. the the shrimp was stuck to the shell so it tells me it wasn't cooked right. the garlic noodles lacked the garlic flavor. the lady working there was nice though and she was very attentive. read more

We have been meaning to come here for years and finally had the chance early on a Friday night. Go early enough and enjoy the Happy Hour!! Save room though. The food is great and there's a lot of it! As it was our first time there we got a couple baskets of appetizers, a Catfish Po Boy Sandwich, and a basket of crawfish and chips. As excellent as all of this way, we did it wrong. Get the boil. We were the only table to not get the silver bowls filled with corn, potatoes, and seafood. Get. The. Boil. This restaurant is known for it's seafood boils, offer great prices on the seafood, and often run a special on pounds of a certain kind. Get the boil. We've talked to a few friends and will be back to tackle those silver bowls filled with hot and steamy goodness (also the fried pickles though because they were too good to skip). read more

Love coming here whenever I get a craving for solid seafood boil. The staff are always super friendly and we love joking around with them. We were seated immediately and able to think about ordering as soon as we walked in. We ordered that week's special: 3 pounds of crawfish. We also added a few pounds of clams to go with that. Got it 3 stars with the house sauce. The crawfish were decent size and had great spice and flavor. The clams were also delicious but about 1/4 of them were closed. read more

Craving seafood boil? Crawfish house is a pretty solid spot to satisfy those cravings! The clams and crawfish was cooked to perfection and seasoned very well.

One of my favorite place to go to in Seattle. Super friendly service, I always enjoy my time there! Staff is always friendly, we love to joke around with them.

Came in on a Wednesday evening we were one of 3 parties. So it was pretty dead Ambiance: 3.5/5 lots of seating, music was kinda loud and played a bunch of cover songs of the top hit 100's which I thought was kinda weird. They also played a cover of league of legends music. Uhh? Anyway it wasn't too loud to where I couldn't have a conversation but if this place was packed I can imagine it being a little harder to have hear conversations between people. Service: 5/5 friendly! Got seated immediately they Checked in on us twice which was really all we needed since we were busy grubbin on the food. Food: - Fried cat fish basket: 5/5 love the breading on the fried catfish ! It was crispy and hot when it came out. The fries were crispy and thin with cajun seasoning exactly how I like it. - The seafood boil: 3.8/5 Got the House sauce (garlic, butter, lCajun seasoning ) with 1lb snow crab 1lb shrimp 2corn/2 potatoes ($2.50) I feel like the shrimp was defrosted prior to being seafood boiled. Didn't taste too fresh but boy they were HUGE "golf" shrimp is what they were serving. The snow crab was enough to fill me up! They came with a pair of scissors which was odd cause I'm used to nut crackers to crack the snow crab legs, but it still helped. The amount I got including the cat fish basket was totally enough. I wished I could have asked for more Cajun seasoning. Didn't have a WOW experience But overall, not bad if you're looking for a place to fill ur seafood boil! read more

I haven't found an amazing seafood boil place yet so I do think Crawfish House may be one of the best around Seattle, but it wasn't that spectacular. I'm not sure why, but seafood boil around here hasn't quite wow'd me despite our vicinity to the waters and having amazing fish and clam chowder. Service is solid though, I'll give them that. We were recommended the tango sauce by a friend but our waiter insisted the house sauce was way better and the tango was "sour" and persuaded us to opt for the house sauce. Honestly, the sauce didn't impress and was a large pool of oil at the bottom of our boil. Dipping was alright, but it wasn't spread well to showoff the spices to our taste buds, overall the sauce was underwhelming and greasy. For spice levels, we asked for 3* but it was really mild, something near a 1.5* and also underwhelming. Began with some appetizers too, we ordered at happy hour where the prices should be cheaper, but weren't discounted. Honestly, it was whatever and the appetizers were standard. Opted for the cajun fries and onion rings, both weren't surprising and nothing bad to report. 4 pounds of seafood total: both crawfish options, snow crab, and shrimp. Louisiana Red Crawfish - sweeter crawfish like they mention, but small in size. Not overly sweet or anything, not that you'd expect that, but tasty. Pacific (Signal) Crawfish - seasonal crawfish that's larger, looks more intimidating, and meatier. I liked this one more, it felt more efficient as I got more meat for similar effort and it tasted fine, wasn't bad or anything just less sweet. Snow Crab - my personal favorite, but I love crab so there's some bias. Very easy to get the meat out and they're great sizes as well, being crab legs. Shrimp - these were probably the worst tasting option here. They tasted "like the sea" and had sand in them. The only pro was that they're easy to peel and eat, but shrimp is better anywhere else. Also got French bread, dipping in the sauce was alright but once again, the sauce wasn't anything special. It was mostly like tasting bread with olive oil on top, maybe our sauce was skimping on the special spices. Tagged on some potatoes and sausages with the order - potatoes are nice and tender. Sausages are juicy, but they are small slices read more

I tried this place in 2019. We ordered takeout on the 4th of July and said we'd go back to try it again but this time dine in. The food is decent. I stick to the catfish because I'm leery about crawfish. I tried it with etoufee this time, which was too thick and bland. The tan fries were my favorite on the menu and I enjoyed the fried gizzards. My partner and her friend tried the crawfish. They said it was pretty tasty. It can get pretty loud and busy since they don't open until two. They rush around you to take orders and drop off food but they in no way rush you to eat. There is a lot of space between tables and you might have to walk up so the counter for your check because you once you get your food they don't really come back to the table. The parking in that area is terrible. You either won't find a spot or have to back into a space on the middle of the street. It might create some anxiety for some people. The locals are used to it. All-in-all. It was okay. Not terrible just okay. The boils are the best thing to try. read more

We were next door at Puffy Pandy so wandered over for some "real" food. We opted for the seafood boil with snow crab legs and shrimp without heads and waited for the drop. I will say, I am bougie enough that I will pay whatever extra to have my shrimp peeled and deveined, the fact that wasn't an option was a bit annoying. In addition to the seafood boil we had a friend who does NOT do seafood, so she got the chicken sandwich. The chicken was so dry she ate two bites and quit. Luckily they took the feedback and removed it from the bill. The legs coming with part of the body attached (sometimes LARGE portions of the body) was a bit upsetting as we only eat legs, and ordered snow crab LEGS, but overall it was delicious. Would come back again, but maybe tweak our ordering a bit. PS The fresh strawberry lemonade was a bit on the sweet side, but still good if you squeezed a bit of lime in it - get a carafe! read more

Solid crab boil spot located in white center. I have gone to white center exactly 2x before in my life and I am glad the location didn't deter me from going! Is it the best sauce of my life? No. There is a place in dallas that gets the balance of tangy, garlic, butter, and lemon just right. However, I was very satisfied with the price, the service, and the yuca fries appetizer was huge and tasty. Definitely my new fav crab boil place in the seattle area. After I went a friend told me I should have tried the tango sauce. I can't wait to come back and try it! I took off one star because my snow crab was a bit overcooked, to the point that one of the small pincers had meat so hard it resembled jerky. It wasn't as bad on the other larger pieces of meat but I have never seen that before lol. I also felt like the house sauce could have had a bit more garlic flavor and it seemed butter was the primary note in the sauce. read more

Crawfish House - Crab and mussels in the 2 star house sauce - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

WHO KEPT THIS PLACE FROM ME?! Casual space with fun music. We started with the jambalaya roll (like an egg roll) with this beautiful tomato topping. The house blend sauce was unreal slathered all over our king crab and craw fish (level 3 was not very spicy!). The mojitos were sweet and flavorful and the woman who served us was even sweeter. She showed us how to shell crawfish and checked in very often. I cannot recommend this place enough. I live in gig harbor but I'll be back with the family to try a ton of other stuff on the menu. I WISH I HAD TAKEN A PICURE! It was so good read more

First time trying! I was definitely excited too. I started with the Cajun wings. I would not recommend that to anyone. It's super salty and taste like the whole thing was drenched in salt. The next thing I got was 3lbs of crawfish and snow crab legs with 2 additional corn, sausage, and potato. The chillin house sauce again too salty for me and as you get to the bottom of the bag it taste bitter.? The potato's were too thick that it didn't take in any sauce. I got no spice but the sausage was in unbearably spicy, I gave up after one. The crawfish was not bad but got relatively small and got four really dark ones. The snow crab legs you can taste that it has been frozen. The best thing in the bag was the corn; so flavorful and good. read more

It's been such a hit and miss. The quality of the seafood isn't there anymore, much worst after COVID. I went yesterday, 03/08/2023, ordered one pound of gold shrimp, snow crab, 2 potatoes, and 6 sausage. $32.99 for ONE cluster of snow crab; I only got ONE CLAW AND ONE DAMAGED LEG. Half the golf shrimp was pure MUSH. The texture was awful. I didn't say anything because the server was no where to be found. It took some time to even get some water; was only able to get one refill, I needed more!!! The tango sauce was MORE butter than sauce!!!!! There wasn't much flavor. I've had it GOOD 3 times out of several times I've been. Will not be going back. There's other better places! read more

I'm so glad I found this place!! I've been trying to find a good place in Washington state. I ordered 1 lb of snow crab legs with a side of potatoes, sausages and corn.

Everybody loved what they ordered and I can't wait to go back again!! read more

My friends had just recently gotten engaged and we went to celebrate. Although the front of house was kind, they only stopped by our table twice throughout the whole evening. Once to take our order and secondly to bring our food. The worst part of this whole experience was the food itself. The shrimp and crawfish were filthy and to make matters worse they add a flavorless sauce on top. I would entirely skip this option when it comes to looking up restaurants to dine in at. read more

The best crawfish experience in WA Crawfish quality will depend on the season I recommend garlic butter instead of other sauces unless you don't mind the saltiness. The fried chicken gizzards is the best appetizer. The cajun chicken batter is salty. If only they use the same batter as fried gizzards it would taste much better. read more

I've been coming here every since I discovered this place which was last year. I can't believe I've been missing out this whole time. The crawfish here is the best. You really get what you pay for. Other places Ive been to charge a lot more and it's not even good or the portions are small. Michael has been our server almost every time we come here and he made us feel so welcomed. He is the best! I usually order appetizers and I tried all of them. My favorites would be Cajun fries, Yam fries, Onion Rings and Fried Pickles. For the boil, my boyfriend and I always order King Crab Legs, Crawfish, Clams, Shrimp & Potatoes with the house sauce which is garlic, butter, & special spices. It's sooo good like indescribable. Like the sauce just soaks in and gives the seafood some love. So freakin delicious! If you plan on getting drinks get the strawberry lemonade. Add tequila if you want to get funky :). Our server also made us a tamarind drink and it was also so good. read more

I ordered clams, mussels and shrimp. Spice level was 2 with their house sauce, we also added 2 corns and 2 sausages. Overall the seafood was good and the sauce had a nice flavor. The sausage was really spicy, so I'm wondering if they use spicy sausage? The restaurant is decorated very nicely and it's spacious. The employees were friendly and attentive. Parking is ok, it's just street parking and it's all angle. If there's no parking in the front, you can try to park down the block. read more

I am giving it a 4 because 3.5/5 for service and 5/5 for food. I will start off by saying I think they are understaffed - so it's not because the staff is lazy because everyone was literally running around, but I had to wait 40 mins for table because the staff was so busy that a table would leave and it would take up to 20 mins for the staff to come around and clean it up for the next people to sit down. So there would be like 8 parties waiting, and a couple tables would be empty, but we wouldn't be seated for awhile. Also, once seated - I had to ask 5 different times to 4 different staff for 1-2 things I needed (i.e. butter or scissors to cut the crab), which was kind of frustrating. By that point it had slowed down, so it wasn't because they were super busy? Not sure, but the workers were nice so that was a plus! Now for the food, we got alot - Chowder - tbh idk what I was expecting, but that chowder was so good. Like it wasn't too creamy but it wasn't too soupy? I would definitely order again. Fried foods (gizzards, fries, tots, mushrooms, calamari) - we got the pick 2 and 3 entrees and it was a massive portion!!! Such a steal. Boil - we did the crawfish, crab legs, and shrimp and they were all great. I am from Texas where viet cajun crawfish is such a huge thing, so it was hard finding a place that matched the flavor.. until now. THIS IS THE PLACE. The house flavor is so so good! 11/10 would recommend to a friend. read more

Crawfish House - We forgot to take a picture of our crawfish, we were too busy celebrating! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had a good experience coming back a second time since my 2 star review but just had another bad experience coming back a third time.... I found out that their Tango sauce is the bomb and their Thai iced tea is on point. When you can get fresh Dungeness in their boil, it's great! I'm adding a star for these awesome items. However tonight, they served me mushy crawfish where I couldn't pull the tails out of the shell without the meat breaking apart. This happened with every single one. I complained and the owner insisted it was because crawfish isn't in season, it's a new batch, so the meat is soft. That is such BS! No, it's because they sourced it already cooked (by WA law I believe) and they overcooked it heating it up a second time when serving it to me! I'm sad the owner didn't believe me or want to admit the crawfish was overcooked and made up some lie about it's not crawfish season so they are soft. So soft the crawfish falls apart in the winter?? I'm so disappointed in this restaurant for lack of appreciation for customer satisfaction. I still tipped because it was New Years and I went in an hour before closing but I won't be back for a while. Terrible value for the money spent because the quality and service are inconsistent. read more

Love this place. Love the employees. Best crawfish in Seattle! Nothing beats the tango sauce they have here. Although, it can be too oily sometimes, it hits the right spot. You can never get tired of the sauce or sick of it because nothing is too overpowering. Seafood always taste so fresh here and during crawfish season, it so big. I love it! Every time my friends I come here, we order a 3 combo appetizer ($10) Fried Calamari, tator tots, and fried mushrooms. They're all so crispy, crunchy, and something good to snack on while waiting for the seafood boils. There are a few more appetizer options to choose from if you didn't like any of the ones I listed. I've tried all of them and would say that it's all worth to try. As for my final recommendation, the 1 liter strawberry lemonade is so yummy! I forgot to take a picture of the seafood because I was so hungry but here are the appetizers :-) read more

I came here on a Sunday at 2pm when they opened and it was completely empty. I usually don't eat much seafood but this place was recommended by someone who is originally from Louisiana and said this was a good place for crawfish and had some insane spice levels. I like spice but not too much that I can't enjoy my food but I was still interested in trying this place out. My party of 4 each ordered a pound of crawfish ($10.99/lb) and split a pound of shrimp ($14.99/lb), fried gizzards ($6.99), and cajun fries ($5.99). You can choose your spice level from 1-5 but if you want even hotter you can pay more for that but is it even fun at that point? I chose spice level 2 but I think I could've done 3 or 4 and still be fine. I chose the house sauce which I thought was a little bland and just okay. The crawfish itself was okay and I liked dipping it in the tango sauce more than the house sauce. For the shrimp we ordered it with the tango sauce (the waiter mentioned the shrimp is good with that sauce) and I liked the tango much more than the house sauce. Everyone at our table thought it had more flavor even though it was really oily. The cajun fries and gizzards were both pretty good and I liked the thousand island based dressing that it came with. Because we were one of the only two parties there so early the service was super good and multiple waiters stopped by multiple times. They seem to have a decent happy hour too but it's a little too far for me to be able to get here before happy hour ends. read more

THE BIG: In the White Center neighborhood of Seattle. Spacious restaurant space with fun posters about crawdads (aka mudbugs). THE BLACK AND WHITE: The bae and a couple of yelpers came to this crawfish boil restaurant after hearing good reviews from another fellow yelper. First off, the service was great, maybe a little too great because we had 5 waiters come up to us each within a minute apart asking if we were ready. We were also the only table inside the restaurant and the place could hold up to 20 tables. The menu wasn't too overwhelming and decidely we chose to split a few items. The only item we didn't split were the crawdads. The gizzards and fries came out first. They both came with ketchup and their spicy mayo sauce (pink sauce). I have to say, I'm not a fan of gizzards. They taste ligamenty and leave not a great aftertaste. The anticipatory part of the meal were the crawfish and the shrimp. I swear to god, the shrimp were as big as my face. AND they tasted delicious! It may have also had to deal with the tropical sauce we got for the shrimp. The crawfish on the other hand was kind of a letdown. The crawfish had no juices in the head and the house sauce was kind of weak, even when spicy. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, the damage done for our portion for the bill, we paid around $30 for 1lb of crawfish, shared shrimp, fries and fried gizzards. read more

I'd been wanting to try this place ever since I came to the area and finally got there with a friend last night. The waitress was aggressively friendly and helpful. :-) We ordered the boiled crawfish and clams. They were fresh out of boiled crawfish so we got the fried crawfish in a basket instead, and yuca fries. The clams were great, and the second level of spice was just right for us. It's an intense sauce, but you can still taste the clams. Lots of butter - it's one of those things you don't want to stop eating, but you may pay for it later (kind of felt like I'd eaten a rock for a couple of hours. But it was a really good rock. Probably because I got a little eager dipping into it with the bread...) The corn was cooked in the same way, with the clams (?). So maybe not for "freshest corn purists," but it took in the flavor of the sauce and was really good. The fried crawfish unfortunately were totally overcooked - tough, dried out and flavorless, and half of them were just little bits and pieces. The yuca fries were interesting; it was the first time I'd ever had them, but I'd definitely get them again. Crispy and chewy at the same time. Ambience - an interesting decor, wood and corrugated metal walls (maybe trying to emulate a shack or dock house) with some fun "Louisiana kitsch" cartoons. I won't get the fried crawfish again but I'll definitely give them another chance! read more
