Bodihafa beer
Melissa V.

We came to Brass Kraken for Harry Potter Trivia. We ordered Bodihafa beer, Brussels sprouts and Chicken nachos. The atmosphere was great, so many cool Harry Potter costumes and fun people. It was full and we had to wait for seats but the host was kind, and found us a two table top. The server was friendly and continued to check in on us. She was clearly really busy. But she always came around and checked in on us.

Bread pudding
Calvin Y.

Elk burger is extremely good. The staff is pretty quick and very hospitable. Theres was a game going on so pretty packed with people. Clam chowder is too salty for my taste. Nachos are well seasoned! The bread pudding was also amazing restaurant is overall pretty clean. Lively during sporting events.

We had a relaxing lunch here, sitting by the windows overlooking a marina on a beautiful autumn day. Our server was friendly and efficient. We ordered fish n chips, German potato salad, and a Rachel sandwich. We all enjoyed our meals and they were happy to accommodate some special dietary substitutions.

View

Nice place by the water with awesome view. I was here for some college football, and the staff were super accommodating to make sure the TV in front of me had the game that I wanted to watch. Prices are decent for drinks and food. People here seemed to have decent vibes too. Would highly recommend if you are staying or going through Poulsbo. Parking can be tough during day time. So be prepared to park a bit out there and walk over.

The Kiwi strawberry refresher! And the Gauva Coconut margarita
Whitney R.

First things first. The two gals that were working today, I didn't get your names and I'm sorry I didn't because you were a delight and hilarious. You also worked your buts off to make sure everyone had everything they needed 10/10 service. My mom and I came in and grabbed seats, came in the wrong way and didn't see the sign that said wait to be seated... our bad. But you guys were so nice, welcoming and even though you only got busier as the minutes went on you both stopped by our table multiple times to check in! Then our significant others walked in and you helped them out too! The drinks were delicious, we had to stop at one because we'd be playing mermaids in the lake if we did more hahahaha The food was also really good, came out quick and very flavorful. Thank you for also checking on the sweatshirts and merch for us. There's tons of places to eat in this area but because of the service and atmosphere we will make it a point to stop by here every visit. Thanks for laughing with us and making our day even better!

Burnt side of tots.
Katia B.

Staff is nice. Views are great. Hope you like burnt tots. Yes. I ate some because I was starving. I used to come here all the time. So frustrating. How do you even deliver that with a straight face?

Chika O.

The food and service were awesome. There was nothing I could say because they had everything I wanted as an option. Great Place! Check it out!

Fried mushrooms
Breanna V.

Sat at the bar on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Busy place. 21+ only in the heart of Poulsbo on the water. Bartender was friendly, but not overly chatty. Fried mushrooms were absolute perfection!! Fresh mushrooms, batter was light. Traditional garlic buffalo wings were crispy and garlicky to the point no Cullen would come near you for a week! Loved them. Cannot wait to come back.

The menu!! Omg Elk burger
Cathy M.

Wow!!! I couldn't wait to write this review! I flew in today and first stop after unloading luggage was The Brass Kraken! I went thinking I wanted fish as we are in PNW do as the locals do! So started with a Rainer on draft and had an amazing burger ! Drum roll please.... The Elk Burger was phenomenal and I mean wow the flavor the juicy and delicious down fingers and hand drippings from the blue berry jam and balsamic reduction. The service was great too! Cat ‍ was attentive and friendly and knowledgeable about local events and menu! Lastly the view adds just the perfect amount of atmosphere and ambiance! I will be back for another meal and to hear the Lumberjacks on Saturday!

Itialian soup clam chowder
Amanda B.

I give the clam chowder a 3.2. As someone who was born and raised in Pismo Beach ca, travels to the Oregon coast frequently, and has traveled the East coast..... my husband and I were so confused by this clam chowder. It resembled more of an Italian soup. All the seasonings my Italian mother uses we tasted in the soup. Clams? What clams? Mine had three. It was all potatoes. It almost tasted like sausage was in it.... That's how strong the seasonings were. Service was good and really fast! If you don't have long to wait this is your spot. Ambiance is is incredible if you sit outside.

Kelly P.

we were recommended this restaurant but a local store owner but unfortunately it was just okay. the service was on the slower side and it took over 40 minutes for our food to come out. i tried the salmon blt and it was well seasoned and balanced but the salmon was pretty dry. the tater tots on the side were yummy though.

Shrimp basket
Ron R.

Essentially a tavern with okay food and an okay view. The service is above average. We ordered the shrimp basket 3.5/5 (shrimp were good, tots over fried), elk burger 4/5 (patty needed seasoning), and chicken breast burger 4/5.

Lamb/bacon burger with feta and seasoned tots!
Glenn K.

Monday night trivia inside, gorgeous views outside! This month's specials include: fresh local oysters on the 1/2 shell, shrimp Alfredo, cherry cola brisket, and a Cuban. Wait times were not excessive considering it was trivia night. Seasoned fries/tots were delicious. Burgers were good but were a little over cooked and a little dry. Dog friendly on the deck made this a fun stop for the night.

We stumbled upon this place like food archaeologists--literally behind a small shed. It felt like…read moreunlocking a secret level in a video game, except instead of gold coins, we were rewarded with burgers and beer. Way better. We grabbed seats at the bar, where Freddy--bartender, hero, and possible Jedi--was holding it down solo. At first, we were the only ones there, living our best VIP lives. But 20 minutes in, a wild birthday party appeared! Chaos? Maybe. Freddy? Cool as a cucumber in a walk-in fridge. Despite the madness, he still made time for us like we were the stars of the show. We ordered the Swiss burger and the Fire burger. Let me tell you: that homemade hot sauce doesn't mess around. It's the kind of spicy that humbles you--one bite in, and I was ordering another beer, not for the buzz, but for survival. Painfully delicious. The vibe? Totally vibing. The food? Fire (literally). Freddy? A legend. We'll definitely be back, hopefully with less hot sauce-induced tears and more high-fives.

You could get that at any single restaurant. Ambiance was worn down, with cheap, old, rickety tubular furniture... and it was loud. There was some karaoke going on. We couldn't converse. Not my scene. Service was slow. So, neither the view, nor the ambiance, nor the generic and boring food provide reasons to go back.

I'd recommend sitting outside if it's a nice day! Definitely recommend this place if you're in Poulsbo. The portions are big, the food is delicious, and the staff are friendly and nice.

Unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. Our server, Jennifer Burnett, was noticeably warm and attentive to another group nearby, but with us, the service felt dismissive and disengaged. For example, my husband ordered an Aperol spritz, and when they were out, we substituted Campari--but what arrived resembled a raspberry sparkling water, not even close to what Campari tastes like. When we brought it up, the response felt very brushed off. It's disappointing because the setting and food have so much potential, but service matters. I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere in Poulsbo--there are plenty of great spots along the main strip that offer both good food and a better overall experience.

I booked a night in a Tower room since my work holiday party was being held in the Salmon room at…read morethe casino. The tower rooms are very conveniently attached to the casino and easy to get back-and-forth to your room. If you stay in a Resort Room, that building is not attached and you have to walk through the parking lot to get to the casino. I would say that that's the only downfall during the winter time of staying over there. But that is where the pool is so it just depends on what you're looking for at your stay. I have no complaints about the room, very clean and nice decor. My husband wished there was room service for breakfast the next morning but that is not available. I also wish they had valet parking. There is not nearly enough parking in the parking lot so if you don't find parking, you have to park in the parking garage and then walk all the way around back in to the hotel. Hotel staff were very friendly and the checkout process was easy. The second part of this review is going to be on the service from my work holiday party. The room was beautifully set up and the food was delicious. The staff that were coming around refilling water and taking plates were very attentive and friendly. We really liked Richard. The one employee that we encountered was the bartender assigned to our room. My first encounter from her I thought she was just having a bad day and I let it go. Not welcoming or friendly at all. Not even a smile. But as the night went on people started talking and it seemed everyone was having a not so good encounter from Robyn. She did not ID anyone all night, except my coworker that asked for a mocktail. She was rude to some people and unprofessional to others. It just progressively got worse. Yes the management will be reaching out to the contact they have at the casino to let them know. I was just so taken back about how somebody could go out of their way to be so rude at a fun holiday party. Other than that, the experience was great and I would highly recommend renting an event room there. Is it worth the drive?...yes
