3/30/26. The food was good, as was the service. However, the drinks (beer and mixed) seemed to be watered down to the point that the beer was almost tasteless and the mixed drinks needed an added shot to even notice any taste or content. Strike One. Strike Two came when I read in the fine print on the menu that there was a 4% surcharge added to the bill, no explanation as to what it was for, except that it was not a gratuity. What is that about? read more

Service & Ambiance: 10/10. We sat at the top level next to the window view which was really nice. Salmon chowder: 6/10 I expected this to be like the Lowell's salmon chowder but instead it was a vegetable heavy soup which looked like it had a lot of oil. It looked really unappetizing, surprisingly it tasted not bad but also not that good. Seafood pasta: 10/10 creamy and delicious Snow Crab legs: 9/10. Taste-wise it was great but docked a point for the lack of proper equipment to break the crab legs. The mallet/hammer they give you is pretty useless. Pina Colada: 7/10 Maker's Mule: 5/10 Boozy Arnold: 9/10 read more

I ain't never in my 34 years of life been called the N word so mildly- very demure, very cutesy The overall experience was telling N go home. So boooom, we got seated now all of a suddenly our waitress went from white to black, uhhhh ok. Then it took sis forever and a day to take our order. We get our order the seafood I chose was disgusting, cold and old - like I was given an order that was sent back to the kitchen. On top of one of the items I ordered not being delivered and we were still charged for it (yay happy birthday to me- drove all the way here for bs) My cousins order came out wrong, how do you overcook salmon?? That bish was dried up My mother and little sisters order was ehhh ok I guess or they just humble Then we asked for them to sing happy birthday to me. Supposedly they did not have candles to top the cake- I was given hot ass strawberry on top of a stale corn bread. I ought to slap whoever ancestors thought up this disgusting ass combination. read more

This is a good restaurant to stop in for some good seafood! We ordered a half dozen raw oysters, oysters Rockefeller, and a crab boil. Everything was so yummy! The raw oysters were a bit in the smaller side, but the tasted very fresh. The oysters Rockefeller was bigger and so tasty with the toppings! The seafood boil we ordered had a variety of crabs and other seafoods. I enjoyed the food very much, but I did not like that a bowl was placed on the ground for all our shells from the seafood. I didn't like looking to the ground while I was actively trying to enjoy my food. read more

Got together with my daughter post holidays to spend a Saturday walking through Pike Street Market people watching and just to get out together. We were getting hungry and started scouting around for somewhere to eat, warm up and maybe grab a drink but since we got a somewhat late start many of the shops and places to eat there were preparing to close down. My daughter suggested The Crab Pot restaurant down along the Seattle pier. I gave them a quick call from their Yelp profile but only got a voice recording that provided their hours and a message saying that they weren't taking reservations. At first we were reluctant to make our way down to the pier from the Market knowing that it was a Saturday and the holiday break and that the wait lines to the restaurants on the pier are usually long. Surprisingly they were not and we got seated fairly soon. The restaurant was fairly busy but it didn't take long to get a glass of wine and some sourdough bread, which was great. The waitress was very friendly and checked in on us often without bothering us. The problem is that the food was just so-so. My daughter ordered a king crab dump with corn and potatoes while I ordered a seafood cioppino that came in a huge sourdough bread bowl that included salmon, muscles, clams, and crab. There was plenty of seafood included but it wasn't much of a stew or soup base AND it was very salty. The oyster shooters we ordered came in plastic cups that catsup or tartar sauce usually come. Poor presentation. A huge stainless steel bowl that we were given to throw empty shells in was placed on the floor next to our table. Tacky. All in all I feel that most places down on the pier are nothing but tourist traps that charge ridiculous prices and serve 'just okay' food - nothing to rave about. I would not recommend. Instead stay up in the city where you can find much better quality places, better vibes, better views and with higher quality food. read more

Was our first time in Seattle and my wife and I wanted to take advantage of the abundance of seafood restaurants. A quick search on Yelp led me to the Crab Pot. We were offered the option to sit inside or outside on the dock and since it was a nice evening we decided to sit outside. The waiter was prompt and attentive. The beer was cold and the crab was seasoned to perfection! Unfortunate, I was so hungry I forgot to take more pictures of our meal! read more

The Crab Pot - Crab combo! - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We had a little bit of everything. Got the half order of shrimp, crab cakes, shrimp and crab dip, oysters on a half shell. And although most of it was pretty good there were some disappointing moments. Unfortunately the shrimp was so over cooked it was kind of mushy. And the dip was nothing special don't get me wrong it wasn't bad just kinda nothing special. Now on a good note the crab cakes were amazing!!! The pepper jelly they serve with it was delish. I don't eat oysters but my buddy thought they were yummy just a little small. Honestly I'd come back just to try some other options like the royal feast. read more

This weekend while venturing around Pike's Place in Seattle, my friend and I decided to grab lunch here at Crab Pot! Came here around 12:00pm and got seated near the window area. Very friendly service from the hostess down to our server. Place is spacious....feels like a rustic seaport -feel....lots of stuff made up of wood- goes well with the area and food! We ordered their bread and butter- which kicked us off on a great lunch start and for our main meals I ordered their seafood salad that was packed with crab meat, bay shrimp, and smoked salmon...so delicious and I feel two people could have shared this one dish. My friend ordered the clam chowder in a bowl....creamy, hearty soup full of flavor- yum! Definitely a place to try fresh seafood with variety of selections for everyone pick something they like! read more

Visited family in Seattle on a Sunday and this place was the only one that was left open in tourist area until 9 PM. It did not disappoint in having really good seafood. The portions were generous, and the staff is really nice. My dad is handicapped and they made sure to get us a good table for him to sit with his scooter. Our whole party was satisfied with our food. I recommend : Halibut tacos Scampi Fish and chips The food was very fresh and I love the theme. Great place for tourist to come and enjoy the fresh Washington seafood and views. read more

Visited Seattle with the family and went to this place to get some fresh seafood. The server was great, he made a few recommendations and answered all of our questions. The weather was nice so we were able to seat outside with a nice view of the Seattle Great Wheel. We wanted to avoid fried fish so we got the seafeast to share which comes with a variety of fresh seafood (salmon, crab, shrimp) and corn and potatoes. The feast is served directly on the table with butcher paper and they also give a bowl and place it on the floor for all trash and leftovers. We also tried the salmon filled with crab with potatoes, broccoli and carrots and it was delicious. The ambiance is family oriented and casual. Prices are average for the area so a great option for a nice stop to relax and eat next to the water. read more

There's a little back story to this place My husband visited this place when we were dating 12 years back in 2013 and he kept telling about how good the fresh sea food was. So, this time along with me and kids we dined at this place. It's a little rustic, and old, can tell it's been there for years. We got a nice spot near the window overlooking the ferry. We ordered some beers and fresh watermelon margarita which was refreshing. The menu has really good seafood options. We went with snow crab legs which is served with corn cob and potatoes and shrimp with a spicy sauce. The service was quick, it was poured on the table and we had a good time breaking the crab and eating them up. The sea food was fresh but there was not much sauce or spices on them. I enjoyed the meal and had a good time with family. The pricing is a little on higher side considering it's fresh seafood. Overall a decent place and needs some upgrade. read more

This is an unusual review because my friends and I only stopped here to kill time before our flight. We were exploring pike place/the pier and just decided to stop by this place to grab a round of drinks. No research on the restaurant at all. Our group of 5 was seated in the large group room, which consisted of big families with small children. Every table in there had families hammering seafood on the tables lol I certainly wasn't expecting that, but it wasn't too bad. Definitely a unique experience for me. Everything we ordered was great. All the drinks were tasty. So tasty we ordered a second round lol we also tried the CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS and CHEESECAKE, which were both delicious! These were the tasty drinks we got: -Crab Pot Lager (I'm not a huge fan of beer, but this was very easy to drink! Highly recommend!) -Crab Pot Iced Tea -Salish Sea Storm -Watermelon Margarita -Mojito Also, service was great! Friendly and attentive! read more

Seafood restaurant located on the Pier in downtown Seattle. The restaurant is easy to find and located inside a multipurpose building with a souvenir shop, bakery, and arcade. The restaurant does not take reservations. We did arrive at about 5:30pm on a summer Thursday and we were seated in 5 minutes. We started off with the sourdough bread which was amazing. I had the halibut and fries which was good. The raw oysters were small but good. My spouse had the crab legs which he loved. It was pricey but filling. The waitstaff was super friendly and accommodating. You can sit inside or outside. The views are beautiful. read more

While I appreciated them being open on Easter, our overall experience was sub par. The service was great, the food was mediocre. My frustration was using hammers to pound my crab, give us crackers. There was crab pieces flying everywhere. I get this is a tourist attraction but one to be avoided and highly overpriced. read more

A friend who lives in Seattle recommended this to us. We are seafood lovers, and this really seemed to be a good fit for us! Granted, it was a Tuesday night and at 5:45. But we didn't have to wait at all for our group of nine which was fantastic. Our server was super friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and efficient. I had the snow crab and Dungeness crab. Everything was great, very fresh! I had some of my husband's watermelon Mojito. Super refreshing, would definitely recommend that drink. It's probably a little gimmicky and touristy since it's on the pier. But we were tourists! Would definitely recommend to somebody who is in town. read more

The Crab Pot - Dungeness and snow crab boil. - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I loved this joint. I wish we would've come here over some other sea food places down on the water other nights. The service was great, the vibes were fun, the royal feast crab boil was massive, well seasoned, and well cooked. This is definitely a kitschy campy seafood joint. But there's a good foundation of food here too. My partner and I are from Maryland so we're used to table scattered boils. And this is pretty on par! The crabs were great! And lobster was good! A few of the shrimp were a little over cooked, but that happens in steam pots. Everything was so good and we left fat and happy! read more

Outstanding! For starters, probably the best clam chowder I've ever had and that's saying something. The crab boil was also amazing. Dungeness crab for the win but the snow crab was also terrific. Next time I'm in town, I know exactly where I'm going. read more

The Crab Pot in Seattle is definitely a fun experience -- especially if it's your first time doing a seafood boil with the whole "dump it on the table" style. The piña colada was a 10/10, super delicious and definitely worth ordering (they offer a souvenir glass, but I passed -- I knew it'd just end up in a cabinet ). As for the food, the seafood overall seemed fresh, though I'm still unsure about the calamari strips -- possibly frozen. The oysters were excellent, and the clam chowder was a solid 7/10. Now for the main event: the seafood boil itself. Honestly... kind of underwhelming. The flavor left a lot to be desired -- the butter didn't taste like real butter, and the seasoning was pretty much just a light sprinkle of Old Bay. No garlic, no depth, no sauce. I was expecting something rich and flavorful, and it just fell flat. Service was average -- not bad, not memorable. It was entertaining to toss the shells into the giant metal bowl on the floor, but it all felt more like a tourist trap than a quality seafood spot. Cool concept, decent vibe, but I wouldn't come back or recommend the downtown location. With so many great food options in Seattle, there are better places to get your seafood read more

Service was ok. The server seemed to give service based off if you were going to tip or not. Probably thought we weren't gonna tip but we did. Food itself super mid, the seasoning was very light and inconsistent throughout the bowl and there was no sauce. And for over $100 kind of crazy. Staff was cursing out loud kind of ruining the vibe. read more

The Crab Pot - The Westport $59 per person - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very unsatisfied with the food and service. The only thing that saved this place from receiving a one star was the crab cakes and clam chowder soup. The crab cakes were fresh and tasty, the sauce it accompanied was okay. The salmon tasted microwaved and fishy; definitely not fresh. The server was rude and I did not feel comfortable. I would not recommend coming here. For the price you're better off catching the ferry to Brainbridge and grab a bite at Proper Fish. Enrique's hospitality and service was fantastic. read more

Met friends here for dinner while we were visiting Seattle. The restaurant has plenty of seating, and there we no wait when we got there on a Thursday night around 6:30. I had my kids with me, and they offer a kid menu, which is always a plus. My friend shared a crab boil bucket. I had the miso black cod. The cod was good, but pretty standard. The kids enjoyed their food, but they are easily pleased with typical kid friendly food. The service could be improved in terms of wait staff remembering to bring things we asked for, and checking on us during the latter part of our meal. Since the place wasn't crowded, it wasn't noisy, so I was able to have a conversation with my friends. Overall, it's a decent place for casual kid-friendly dining. read more

The Crab Pot - Crab Combo! - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We decided to dine here for dinner. We asked to be seated for three and there was no wait. We were greeted by nice ladies at the door. We were seated in a great spot with a window. I have a pork allergy and was about to order crab and had questions about the sausage earlier. Miguel was our waiter and I have to praise him. He took a minute and asked why I asked about the pork. I explained that I have a pork allergy. He honestly told me that due to cross contamination that I may not want to order the crab. This could have prevented a bad reaction I want to commend him!!!! He gets 10-stars for that!!!!! I decided to order other food instead no problem. The fried oysters were AMAZING! Next was the crab cakes yummy yummy. The seafood dip was delicious also. The let down was the calamari. They were fried too hard for me and I knew they were strips but I order them anywhere that has them. The drinks were delicious also. My daughter loved her oyster Rockefeller but you only get 3 for a healthy price. Should get at least 6 in my opinion. The clams were good as well. The service was great so Miguel tipped the review to 5 stars. The bathroom was clean. I love the push button to open the door. The decor was nice and I love the artwork. We definitely enjoyed our dinner! read more

To be honest, this is a tourist trap. My son wanted to try seafood so we stopped for dinner. We were seated right away, and were checked on regularly while we decided. In order to get the bucket dinners. Fun atmosphere right on the water. The corn needed to be cooked a bit longer. Decent food, just way over priced. The bucket we chose cost upwards of over $100. We might consider coming back if the price wasn't so high. read more

walked 40 minutes to get here - and had my 4 pound dog in a carrier because they said they were dog friendly. Upon arrival - they mentioned they can't seat any dogs that aren't service dogs.

The server Michelle was on it. Very attentive and continuously checked on us to make sure that we were take care of. It did not take long for us to be seated either. The view on the water was also pretty awesome. Right on the pier and looking out some seating is inside, outside and covered patio type seats is the best way I can describe it. The food did not disappoint, the crab stuffed mushrooms recommend. I was not upset atvthe crab cakes it is hard to find a good crab cake in my opinion. Clam chowder I would definitely have again even though i personally did not eat the bread bowl it was cool. There was a salmon dish as well I believe it was crab stuffed delicious. Give it a try I was not even mad at the price for what was ordered. read more

The food was mediocre overall -- especially the shrimp, which was so overcooked it was small and very dry. We actually ate here twice, hoping the service would be better the second time, but unfortunately it was even worse. Our drinks were never refilled, and our waiter frequently went MIA. Seattle has so many amazing seafood spots, and unfortunately this just didn't compare.

Great spot for a quick, delicious bite when you are out on the pier. They have various types of fish on display for you to choose from and they cook them a variety of ways. The staff was very helpful with explaining the options and making suggestions. I went for the traditional fried fish and chips and enjoyed every bite. It's a super casual spot with about six tables inside and additional tables outside. You order at the counter and they deliver your food to the table. The condiments are self service on a side counter. The portions are generous and the food was cooked well. read more

It's down on the harbor, next to the Ferris wheel. Yes, it is touristy. So what did you expect from this spot? We ate there twice, before and after our cruise to Alaska. We ate inside the first time: sourdough bread bowels brimming with clam chowder and an in-house made strawberry / rhubarb cake a la mode. We only ate 's of the cake because the bread bowls were so filling. Everything was first rate & the service was perfect. Waiters & bussers were attentive but not intrusive. On our return, we went back at midday for lunch on the deck. We had the fish & chips and a chowder bread bowl, sharing both. This experience was a replay of the first. Huge portions of amazing food and the same excellent service. We highly recommend The Crab Pot for both locals and tourists. read more

The Crab Pot - Strawberry/ rhubarb cake with vanilla ice cream, all made in-house. - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Mom wanted to make sure her sisters had some seafood at least once on our trip in case things went awry on our Alaskan cruise, so we headed to the Crab Pot. Would've been great if we'd gotten to sit next to the waterfront windows, but we were told because we were a large party (7) we'd have to be seated elsewhere, even though the restaurant wasn't very busy at 3pm. My guess? It's a brown people thing and they know that Asians like us will comply instead of fighting, so off to the back of the bus we go. I'm not screaming racism, but this isn't the first time this has happened to us and they count on my types being shy and not insisting. You could tell our server was either clock watching or just didn't care. I don't blame her, but come on- when people are paying a lot of money for seafood, just try to act like you wish you were anywhere but here. As for the food? It was fine. The corn was the best thing we had, since it was sweet and fresh. The aunties had fun and that's what counts, but every time I come here the place gets darker, seems older and needs to be refreshed, and it just feels sad. This place is okay, but its best days are definitely behind them. read more

I think there are better places for crab, but this is a convenient location as it's right downtown. read more

I came here for dinner on Wednesday night and had a great time. I tried the sourdough and butter, salmon chowder, crab stuffed mushroom and crab scampi. Everything was delicious. The sourdough tasted amazing and fresh. The salmon chowder was delicious as well and it was full of vegetables. The crab stuffed mushroom mushroom was cheesy and tasty. Lastly, the crab scampi was one of the most delicious pasta. To drink, I tried the white sangria, which was very refreshing. The restaurant was located near the ferry in a very touristy spot but it is evident that it's very popular seeing how full it was. The service was good, although there was some confusion about an order on the table. However; when she learned that I was sharing the pasta, she offered to serve it in two plates, which made the sharing easier. The decoration in the restaurant makes it unique and they have humorous souvenirs. If you're in Seattle, this is definitely one of the restaurants to try. read more

Don't wear classy clothes and eat here. This is a get your hands gooey with butter and messy with crab meat if this is your desired course of action. I believe I received a great value for what I paid. Some may not feel that way but I live in a land locked state not close to the ocean. The food here was fantastic. We didn't order the top tier crab boil pot but purchased the next tier. I left more than happy, more than satisfied, and more than willing to come back. Don't think I ate a potato but I did the corn and not all of the shrimp. My focus was the crab, lobster, and more crab. They provide the tools to access what you need to especially to get the lump crab meat. Service when seated was top notch. Fast on beverages, super fast on food, plenty of butter and if you need more ask. The beer was cold a delightful. Highly recommend! read more
