I dined here for a family members birthday. It was a Saturday night. The space is large and well lit. Music playing but not so loud you can't hear the people at your table which is nice and they have several TVs playing various programs. The service was great! We had a couple people help us for different things. They were both so nice. Our food came out pretty quickly as well. The food itself I found to be just ok. I had the rockin shrimp plate with rice (forgot to snap a photo). Everything was prepared well and I thought portions were good. My complaint was the sauce/seasoning. It was over powering and salty. I'm still tasting it the next day after brushing my teeth twice and having other food. I'd go back for the service but not sure I would because of the food itself. read more

Not a single person in the restaurant when we walked in.. a little strange but I guess it's a rainy Thursday afternoon. Service was fine, nothing extraordinary. Food came out super fast. Food was good but honestly wouldn't rush back. My grandparents love it!! So whatever floats your boat Not bad pricing for seafood. I'd come back to try the appetizers. read more

The atmosphere was very normal, not super packed but not empty. The food itself was pretty good but the flavor on the sauce is just missing something. Was hoping to get a spicy sauce this time with Level 4, but it was still sweet and not spicy at all which was disappointing. After a while of eating I did get sick of the flavor so definitely get something to drink, the Strawberry Lemonade was good to cleanse the pallet. Overall not terrible but never as good as I hope its going to be. read more

Rockin' Crab & Boiling Pot - 29$ Combo Option: Snow Crab, Corn, Potatoes, Eggs, Sausage, Shrimp, plus Garlic Bread - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

This review is for only 1 meal, so keep that in mind. I want to try the seafood boil next, so the review may change. First: The music sucks. I'm not the demographic they're shooting for. The decor is sports bar meets tuna boat captain on his way to karaoke. The food seems to be part Cajun, part Thai. There's some fusion happening here that has the potential to be interesting. What we had: Pot stickers. Good flavor, but safe. The dipping sauce was a little anemic, but didn't hurt. Rockin' Shrimp plate. Spicy, but not hot. Intense flavor, but the spice coating was a little gritty. Lots of shrimp. Little else. That's not a bad thing. The overall flavor was pleasantly different. It's interesting enough to come back. read more

Rockin' Crab & Boiling Pot - Rockin' Shrimp Plate - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

There are a ton of crab locations around the metro, but this is our spot. I've been here at least 10x, and the difference is in them remembering us. The food is always good, and we enjoy it for family meals and even "special" occasions. We celebrated my daughter's liverversary and brother's birthday here (same day). They let us bring a cake in and gave us extra silverware and plates. We love coming here. The vibe is casual, but it's nice to have that with seafood in our area. read more

First time eating here and the atmosphere is definitely interesting. It's very quiet, decor is crab boat meets Jackie Chan. But the food was excellent. I had the rockin Cajun shrimp plate and my husband had the rockin Cajun shrimp pasta with sausage. Huge portions and very flavorful. I'd skip the appetizer of Cajun fries next time. Service was also excellent. I would rerun and do recommend. read more

Rockin' Crab & Boiling Pot - Rockin Cajun Rockin' Shrimp Plate - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Food was terrible. Completely covered in a thick paste of seasoning, dripping with oil and was way over cooked. Spent 200 dollars and could not eat it. Didn't even want the left over food, we left it on the table. Food came out in plastic bags with no plates or trays to contain the oily mess. Gratuity was added in for us, with no options for tip amount. Service was horrible. They would not split our tabs for us. We will not be returning ever. We do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I absolutely love this place. Cajun style bags of seafood, what's not to love? They've got a bunch of options, 3 kinds of crab, lobster, crawfish, shrimp, etc. there's also combos where I think you can save a bit by bundling it all together. It's all delicious. There's several heat options I think it goes 1-5. I wanna be clear, it is MESSY, but you're provided with gloves and a bib, both of which you need for 80% of the menu. Service is really fast and efficient, all the people who work there are very friendly also. read more

Service was low to mediocre. Don't know that I'll ever go back as I got food poisoning.

Very expensive, not very good at all. My son wanted to go here to try the crab boil, he seemed to like it a lot. I definitely will not be back. read more

I was here a while back...and posted a review that wasn't exactly favorable. They had my review removed because it didn't give enough "detail". I stated they are trying unsuccessfully to imitate the Crab Pot in Seattle. So I'll give more detail-the food comes drowned in bag of overly seasoned oil. The lack of flavor from the ingredients is over killed by the overwhelming amount seasoning in the oil. The flavors were not good. The food doesn't retain heat for long and all in all it was a lackluster experience. I actually made the trip up to Seattle to satisfy my craving for a good crab meal. I Joe there is enough detail in this review. Having negative reviews removed because your product is subpar is not an appropriate way to do business. Just put out a better product! read more

Food was good, as usual.. but management really needs to do something about the servers. If you had servers who actually served and attended to guests, perhaps you may have more customers... I am in the service industry and although food was great, I would never return to this location... I'd drive to the 82nd location so I'm not needing to ask for a refill for water, beer, gloves, or extra silverware. Please take the opportunity to train these younger gals.. service can make or break it and for living half a mile away, I would avoid this location. read more

Rockin' Crab & Boiling Pot - My food is so delicious - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

We went here for my sister's birthday. This was our first time here. We got the seafood mini pot and beef pot. An order of Japanese miso pot and a honey chicken bowl. All the bowls came with either an order of vermicelli or rice. The honey chicken bowl was quite delicious. It came with an order of rice. Eachpot came with napa and corn and mushrooms. It was pretty good. Probably better in winter months versus 95 degrees weather. The seafood pot was good. Just need to wait until the fire simmer down a bit on the hot pot. My seafood pot had 3 big shrimp in shell, 2 calamari, 1 small clam, and 2 mussels. 1 stuffed fishball which was very tasty. A very low-key restaurant. Atmosphere was very nice. read more

The food was really good but let me tell you the MUSIC THROWS OFF EVERYTHING! If I had to guess what the title of the playlist playing was it would be "Teen Girly Pop". I bring this up for two reasons. The first was that the music was really quiet which made it VERY awkward in the restaurant. People were too scared to talk loud and have their conversations heard over the music so the entire restaurant was nearly dead silent. The second factor is that this music did not fit with the genre of the restaurant at all. This is a Cajun place so I would imagine something more upbeat like Cajun music, Rock, Upbeat jazz, etc, (Something Southern). Anyways, the service was good, the restaurant was clean, food was tasty! Omg that Cajun seasoning blend was sooo good and they use real garlic chunks in their garlic butter! Cocktails could have been better but you don't go there for drinks you go for seafood and that was chef's kiss. But because of the music and atmosphere, unfortunately, I would only recommend taking your food to go. Hopefully they play more appropriate music and make things a bit livelier in there! read more

Newer location. But taste is spot on! The crew here is super friendly! Their dinning area seats a lot! Not too much of a romantic place. However, if you've been on a few already, want a more relaxed and fun vibe. Check this place out. The longest wait time I've had was about 10 mins. Not too bad for seafood boil. read more

Wish the food and service was better, as there are far and few Cajun spots in the metro area. Would suggest going to the original restaurant instead of this location. Service was terrible. I was also served uncooked clams in my boil, which was unfortunate as the sauce was decent. Do not get the hot pot, unless you want flavorless broth and minimal protein. read more

Food was Ok Nothing special. Prices like everything else.... High and inflated. Staff was decent, but nothing remarkable to pass on. Filled the void. read more

Ordered the Rockin' Combo Bag A. Not bad except the sauce is more sweet. I like it more salty and savory, just personal preference. I like how they let me substitute sausage with something else. Other places would not let you substitute. read more

Amazing food, awesome customer service. I really recommend the food, they are the best in town.

Was seated immediately. Glass of wine and ordered. Shrimp and sausage pasta. Cup of clam chowder and side of toasted garlic bread. Everything was delicious. Everything was served at the same time. So by the time I are half of chowder pasta was cooling. Pasta dish was thick with grease. read more

2 friends and i went to rockin crab around 6:30 on friday, a couple other people inside but definitely was a little quiet. i'm not sure if i'm just that loud, or the music truly was way too quiet, but i was talking about it with my friends and a little later i noticed it was turned up a little which was super appreciated!! we sat down and ordered our one pound shrimp bags, the server let us know the sauce is more sweet than spicy. we also ordered the cream cheese wontons (which were amazing 10/10 !!) and cajun fries which were good. we're visiting from LA, and i've had lots of seafood boil. the sauce does kind of need one bite for you to adjust but it's soo good actually. i've never left a seafood boil restaurant so satisfied !! servers were attentive, we got gloves and aprons to stay clean, and over all it was an amazing experience would love to return if i lived here you guys are so lucky read more

Food was just as good as the one on 82nd. I am glad they opened one in Gresham as it's closer to home. We went in, and I was surprised they weren't that busy during dinner hours. I really liked the chili oil that they use for the seafood boils it pairs great with rice. We got the curry hotpot and the mussels and shrimp. The medium is a good level of spice for the shrimp and mussles.I wouldn't say that it was very spicy, which is good because my Mom can't stand a lot of heat. Next time, I'm going to try the hot. read more

The food was fresh and great selection of seafood boil for our family dinner. The service was quick and there was always a staff member checking if we needed anything . The decorations are nice and location was easy to find if you had any more shopping to do in the area with seating available for larger parties families or a date. The spices have different levels and there are more ways to order your favorite dish. read more

Rockin' Crab & Boiling Pot - Cajun boil had a lot of the essentials and is nice to try something new in the local area. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

The fries tasted old and dry, for sure frozen fries and not freshly cut like other places. Chicken strips were so-so but the fried prawns were awful. The potstickers were also awful. And like others have said, the music was bad. If they advertise as Cajun, then play Cajun music. Not what the staff wants read more

Food was very good. Ambiance is something people need to try. Food hander's gloves instead of silverware. Butcher paper tablecloth instead of plates - lots of fun! (Plates and tableware if you really want it.). We had medium heat which was not too spicy for my "can't handle spicy " wife. We will be back with more family. read more

Went here for the first time because I wanted to see what the Portland Seafood life was like! And it was so amazing I loved the service and the people who work there. They were very polite and had nothing but smiles on their face ! I got the mini seafood boil bag it was so delicious I'd go there everyday if I could! Definitely 5 Stars!!! read more

The shrimp were extremely small and the quality tasted like your average grocery store frozen shrimp. Sausage was just in huge cuts instead of being sliced. Sauce is pretty mediocre. I'll be sure to go to my usual spot and make the drive versus ordering from here even though it is up the street. read more

This new location was very disappointing. The hot pot portion sizes here are a lot smaller than the original 82nd location. We also ordered a pound of clams... more than half the bag were not cooked.... Staff was attentive but I left the restaurant still hungry and unsatisfied. read more

The service staff is amazing. I asked 20 questions on 3 different days to 2 different girls the last being today. They were both amazing friendly sweet and if they didn't know the answer the went to find out. Me and my daughter love this place. I think the staff and food are top of the line. Dont trust bad reviews from Karen go and try for your self thats what I did and I'm glad I did I will continue to come back for the food the friendly sweet wait staff and to get messy enjoying a crab boil. Very fsmly friendly thank u to rocking crab for the great experience of getting messy and the amazing friendly staff and the great cooks for the amazing food. read more

The idea of this restaurant is good and some of the food is done well. The fried fish and shrimp taste like they are frozen and just thrown in a fryer. The soup was very good. Our server was very quick and saw to our needs well. Ok on decorating, also many TVs. You have to be adventurous to enjoy this restaurant. read more

The seafood is reasonably priced for the amount you get. If you like Cajun, this is the place to go. My husband likes Cajun/spicy food so he was very happy coming here. I am not crazy about Cajun so I was only ok with it. The service was only so-so. We had to remind them that we ordered drinks. The restaurant was not busy so I think they simply forgot that we ordered them. The ambiance also so-so, jeans are more than okay to wear. Would I come back? I know my husband would, for me, maybe... read more

Little too much seasoning but really really yummy. Would definitely go again. They were very nice.
