Coming in you are hit with a wonderful smell of the seafood. The workers were really nice, quick, and continuously checked up on my table. I ordered 2 pounds of crawfish, mild, with the hut special sauce. 1 pound was fresh and the other I chose to buy frozen. The fresh batch was so buttery and good. As for the frozen, regardless of the fact that it wasn't fresh, the crawfish were HUGE and it tasted just as buttery and good as the fresh batch. This is one of the best seafood boil places I've tried and i highly encourage you give it a try. read more

Crawfish Hut feels like a scam. I came back specifically to get what I expected to be live, fresh crawfish and clams, but was extremely disappointed. When I got home, the crawfish tasted like it had been frozen --there was none of the natural sweetness you expect from fresh seafood. Instead, it was stale, chewy, and lacked freshness. The sauce was also disappointing, tasting mostly like oily butter rather than a flavorful seafood boil sauce. I gave this place another chance, hoping for a better experience, but ended up even more dissatisfied. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back. read more

Our neighbors kept raving about this spot, so of course we had to check it out -- and it did not disappoint! We went with Combo #1, which comes with 1 lb each of shrimp, Manila clams, and crawfish. The owner was super friendly and recommended the Cajun sauce for a more savory kick (since their House Special leans sweeter) -- great call! Everything was bursting with flavor. The Manila clams were my favorite -- tender, briny, and perfectly cooked. The owner mentioned they're flown in fresh from Seattle daily, and you can totally taste the difference. We also added a side of sausage, which soaked up all that buttery Cajun goodness perfectly. Even the corn, which I usually skip, was amazing -- sweet, juicy, and full of sauce! We also tried their clam chowder, which isn't your typical New England style -- it's more of a Seattle twist, rich and comforting with great seafood flavor. Service was on point -- the staff and owner checked in often, making sure we had everything we needed. The vibe was lively, spacious, and full of TVs, making it a great spot to chill and watch a game. Overall, delicious food, great service, and awesome atmosphere -- can't wait to come back! read more

My friend was craving seafood, so we stopped by The Crawfish Hut at Rodeo 39 and it turned out to be a great choice! The place has a fun, casual vibe that instantly makes you ready to dig in and get messy. What we ordered: Combo 3 * 1 lb crawfish * 1 lb jumbo shrimp * 1 lb snow crab cluster * 3 pieces of corn Perfect for 2-3 people to share, and the combo deal is definitely worth it. The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. Messy in the best way possible. Sides: * Plain rice -- great for soaking up all that buttery sauce. * Garlic noodles -- rich, garlicky, and one of the highlights of the meal. Service was a bit of a wait for a not-so-busy Monday, and a little more attentiveness would've made the experience smoother. That said, our server was still very nice and accommodating once things picked up. Overall, it's a fun spot for seafood lovers. Great portions, friendly vibe, and perfect for sharing a hearty, hands-on meal with friends. Plenty of free parking. read more

l've been a loyal customer here for a long time and normally consider this my favorite crawfish spot-l come at least twice a month. Unfortunately, the BOGO promotion was a complete disaster and left a really bad taste in my mouth. I understood there would be a longer wait because of the promotion but there was only one person handling the entire to-go section and I genuinely felt bad for the worker doing the togo section. I waited over an hour for my order, only to find out that the promotion had not been applied and I did not receive the BOGO deal. The employee said they would honor it but only if I placed another order-which would have meant waiting another hour or more. At that point, I decided to leave without the deal I came for. If you are going to run a BOGO promotion, please make sure you have adequate staffing and that the system is working correctly. There were at least 15 people waiting for to-go and everyone seemed frustrated and unhappy. I still love the food but this promotion was very poorly handled. read more

Came here on Sunday evening at 7pm and the wait was only 10 minutes, a line formed after we got seated. The staff the was so friendly and efficient. My cousin and I were putting on the gloves and one girl noticed that it was too small and brought us two new bigger pairs. Our food came out super quick, we got 2 pounds of fresh crawfish and 2 pounds of shrimp, they both came with corn and we added potatoes. They recommended the garlic noodles to be added to the sauce, it was sooo good! The flavor is soo good, perfect blend of garlic, Cajun seasoning and butter! The spicy wasn't as spicy as I thought! I would def come back here instead of kicking crab! Damian was our server And he was great! read more

Came in for the grand opening and was really impressed with how organized everything was. Staff handed out waters to those waiting in line, and there was entertainment and a fun spin-the-wheel giveaway. Our waiter, Damian, had great energy and knew the menu inside and out. He was very attentive throughout. We were lucky to be among the first 50 parties and received Combo #1 for free (1lb crawfish, 1lb shrimp, 1lb Manila clams, 3 corn). We chose the Hut Special (a Cajun and garlic butter mix) with mild spice. Everything was decently well-sized which we were happy about. We were impressed by how fast the food came out given how busy they were. It seems they use the Yelp Waitlist system. We also ordered the 6-piece chicken wings and garlic fries: * Garlic fries: Crispy outside, soft inside, topped with melted parmesan, herbs, and garlic throughout. * Chicken wings: Also decently sized and tender with a thin crispy batter. The Cajun flavor tasted more lemon pepper with some Cajun spice. Served with fries, veggie sticks, and ranch. They provided bibs, gloves, plates, lemons, and mini Cajun spice mixes. The inside is spacious and clean, with comfortable booths and modern bathrooms. We were a group of 3 and left full and happy. Only suggestion: Consider adding wet wipes at the end for easier cleanup. Great job on a strong opening! I'm excited to come back and watch this place thrive! read more

We went at lunch time, not many customers at lunch but the food was great, the price for lunch was good. The restaurant was bright and roomy. I like the Cajun seafood boil seasoning, it's not sweet, if you like sweet taste go with the house spices. I will be back again read more

I wasn't sure about tagging along for dinner, but I'm glad I did! This Cajun spot turned out to be a gem. First off, the interior is spacious and comfortable- perfect for a laid-back meal with friends. The service was fantastic, especially from Lynnie (I think that was her name!), who was friendly and made the experience even better. I usually go for peeled shrimp, but since I didn't see that option, I almost skipped dinner (I'd already eaten, after all). But the inner fattie in me couldn't resist, so I went with a pound of clams to try their famous house sauce, which my friends couldn't stop raving about. I picked the "spicy" level, thinking it was a nice middle ground, but it turned out to be more of a mild medium- next time, I'm going full-on hot! The sauce was perfectly sweet, savory, and packed with that delicious Cajun flavor. I can already imagine it with peeled shrimp over white rice next time--yum! When I mentioned that to Lynnie, she let me know that I could request the shrimp shells to be peeled if I order them headless. Good to know for my next visit! We also tried their crafted drinks and they didn't disappoint. Since we dined during their soft opening and they didn't have their liquor license yet, we got mocktail versions. My friend had the Funny Bunny, which was refreshing and sweet, while I went with the Blue Hawaiian. It had a mild, fagrant coconut flavor, but I'd recommend sipping it before the Cajun food hits your palate- otherwise, the strong spice might overpower it. Overall, I'm excited about this place- it definitely has potential! Just please, pretty please, add peeled shrimp to the menu so we lazy folks (trust me, there are plenty of us) can order it without hassle. The prices are also competitive with other Cajun spots, so I'll definitely be back! read more

We took down a star because we asked for sausages in the sampler which we didn't get. We mentioned this twice to the staff, and we never ended up getting them. The waiter apologized in the end, but it's crazy not to get sausages when you asked twice, and the waiter assured us he would get them to us both times. In this case, I expect the restaurant to comp something or get us a replacement but he just offered for us to either take the sausages "to go" or take it off the receipt; both of which are crummy options. The food quality was very good with deliciously sweet crabs in amazing sauce. The lobster, crab, and shrimp were all excellent and full of garlic butter. However, the quantity was very sad; just look at the fried calamari (it was served not even half full). We paid $50 a person and we weren't even half full. read more

If you haven't gone, go. The service was great, we were given space and just enough attention. We got our food fast and the quality of the food was amazing! I've never had shrimp boil served like this before. I requested for headless shrimp and it was served deveined and almost like butterfly cut so the shrimp skin practically slides off. I also ordered the egg fried rice and it was made properly. It's hard to find places that make their fried rice the right way. Only note would be that the restroom's cleanliness was a bit lacking and it's an individual-use restroom. Would recommend that they get a community sink outside of the restroom for easier access. Other than that, I can't complain. The price point is fair. Most definitely will come back. read more

Amazing Vietnamese style seafood boil and service tonight at The Crawfish Hut at Rodeo 39! My boyfriend, friends, and I were very excited to try out this new spot and it definitely exceeded our expectations! Their original location is in Seattle but they recently expanded to Cali which was really cool to learn about. My boyfriend and I both ordered a pound of head on shrimp with sausage in mild spice house special sauce, along with a basket of garlic fries, bread, and rice. The proteins were so soft and juicy and sauce had the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy elements. Garlic fries were fire and came with ranch and sriracha mayo. The bread was surprisingly a high quality, fresh french roll. Both were great vessels to drench in the sauce. Damian, our main server, was super fun, friendly, and made sure everything was on point for our group of 5. Was super thorough with the menu explanation and patient with our repeat questions (mainly me lmao). The other server who tended to us, Lynnie, was also super nice. Place is very clean and the bibs and gloves provided were of super high quality. Highly recommend this spot for your next seafood boil experience. They've got plenty of seating for bigger parties so bring your friends and family! read more

Ok, i got the jumbo crawfish which is frozen. It really was huge but since it was frozen I felt like it had zero flavor. Like usually I love the yellow head guts but when I ate this one it literally tasted like absolutely nothing. I was super shocked. Honestly it could be because it's frozen. I'd rather eat smaller crawfish that's fresh tbh. I got the hut sauce in spicy and it wasn't really spicy, but most importantly my sauce was ALL oil and bits of garlic. It had no flavor. Needed salt !!? I literally used 2 cups of the lemon pepper sauce. Had to dip everything in it even the sausage. At other crawfish places I barely use half of 1 lemon pepper sauce. Next my bf got the king crab, King crab was fresh today @ $110 /lb - that was absolutely delicious !!!!! Best king crab out of all the crawfish places around. Idk if I'll return for their frozen crawfish tbh but I'll give them another try for fresh crawfish! To be fair I've been eating fresh crawfish all summer and season just ended so maybe that's why this was such a disappointment BUT I did not like the oil sauce !! I wouldn't even say oily it was straight up red OIL with garlic bits. read more

Crawfish Hut is just what Rodeo39 needed! With the failed VR arcade, and then yet another failed business with Union Social (what was this, even) -- this location in the front outdoor place of Rodeo39 is the perfect addition. With another location in the PNW, the staff were extremely warm and welcoming during their soft opening and we are all looking forward to The Crawfish Hut Grand Opening soon! The garlic noodles were served in a perfect single-size portion and the fried soft shell crab really nailed the spot, along with the House Special sauce that coated the Mussels and Crawfish was just right. Can't wait to return here again soon! read more

I came here to try this place out with a friend and it did not disappoint. The prices are very cheap for market price. They only have a few starters but my friend and I got the Cajun fries but you get to have different options for a basket of fries. My friend and I got 2 pounds of shrimp and 1 pound of green mussels with the hut special sauce spicy. The shrimp was so big and mussels were a good size as well. The sauce was really good and I'd recommend it! Total came out to $78 including tip for 3 pounds of seafood, 2 sodas, and a basket of Cajun fries. I will be coming back read more

I see this on social media and decided to give it a try. What was excellent was the quality, freshness, and how big the clams and scallops were. Shrimp was cooked well crisp and soft. Crab, sausage, fries were good. Corn could be sweeter - it's the chewy corn. The only negative and I took one star was that the sauce is so sweet. The sauce has the full flavor and butter that rivals any crawfish restaurant here - except it's sweet. I would come back when it is less sweet. read more

The hype was SO HUGE for this place so I was very excited to try it but it was very disappointing! So sad that there's no great place for live crawfish around me (if anyone has tried one that they like, PLEASE let me know!). 1. We ordered the banh mi and it came out... cold... and hard... and we asked them to toast it... and it came out 15 minutes later cold... and hard... But it was browner! 2. They charge for sauce... I would prefer they just charge more for their menu items and give you the extra sauce. I don't even order extra sauce ever but I saw it on the menu and was appalled. 3. The seafood boil itself was really nothing special and that was the nail in the coffin for me. The shrimp was not great quality but their clams were fresh! Overall I am not going back because it really wasn't worth the wait or my money :/ read more

Now I'm a boiling crab girl and no one has been able to surpass them. UNTIL now. I got the big seafood bag shrimp, snowcrabs, crawfish with all the fixings it was absolutely amazing. The flavors are completely different from any other boil place and trust me I've tried ALOT. this has moved up to my #1 spot for seafood boil. Service was phenomenal super helpful and friendly. Only thing I would advise if for people who dont like seafood make it ok for them to get eggs, sausage, potatoes and corn in bag with sauce of their liking. They did it for us but they said it wasn't something they normally do. read more

Exceeded our expectations! Wow! I honestly am not a crawfish fan so the name itself didn't excite me, but my son showed me pictures and reviews and that was enough to pique my curiosity. And boy am I glad we tried this place! Seriously THE BEST seafood boil I've tried to date! First off, the seafood was so fresh and juicy! The shrimp were huge and DEVEINED! Game changer! The clams were big, fresh and not a single grain of sand. The meat from the crab came out so easily and again, so fresh and sweet! The sausage and corn pieces were larger than other crab boil joints and the egg fried rice was delicious! The house sauce was a perfect balance of spicy, savory and sweet and the garlic was surprisingly bold but not overwhelming!! I don't know how they did it, but the balance and flavor were simply perfect!! The service was top notch! Eric was our server and he was helpful, friendly and walked us through the ordering process and recommendations. He checked on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. The servers tag teamed when needed and everyone was attentive and friendly! The ambiance is casual, simple and open. It's part of Rodeo 39 but one of the outside storefronts so it's not so crazy and they have their own seats inside the restaurant. Our family loved The Crawfish Hut so much, we're coming back next week! Oh, and I was so excited to eat that I forgot to take pictures, so half eaten bags is all I have to offer. Sorry. Will try to update photos when we go again next week. read more

We came here because the reviews are amazing and it sounded like the perfect spot to meet up with some friends. The parking lot is PACKED because of all the other spots it shared the lot with, so be prepared to circle around for a while. There is a TON of seating and we came during a weekday so plenty of open tables for us. While waiting for our friends, fiancee and I ordered a couple apps, the calamari and fried chicken gizzards which I was super excited about, but my excitement died down at first bite. The gizzards were rubbery, and the batter was either overcooked or maybe they haven't changed their frying oil in a bit, but we were super hungry as we didn't get a chance to eat all day. The calamari was ok, wouldn't recommend it though. The sauce was BOMB, probably one of the best sauces I've had with a seafood boil. We got exra sauce on the side, and if we weren't traveling, I would have totally taken it home for later. We went with the sampler which was around $160 and it was perfect for a group of 4, along with the apps and side of steamed rice. This place is new, so they have a few things to still work on, including getting their alcohol license, however the waitress told us we can get a drink from the bar next door and bring it in. read more

If I could rate a zero, I totally would. But unfortunately, they only get a 1 star from me. Located at Rodeo 39, next to PhoHolic tucked away is this establishment. We were super fortunate to have them open on NYE. Parking was plenty since 90% of the plaza was already closed for the holiday, so no struggle at this already insane surface lot. Walked in and was greeted promptly, seated by the door which provided a nice breeze. Already a great start, but my goodness I hate to write reviews like this but fellow Yelpers be careful. I understand it's a holiday and it's busy; especially when you are catering to dine in and online orders (which is was bustling btw!). When we ordered we were told it will be a wait, which we understand since it is a holiday. Stay with me now.. A party comes in after us, 3 adults, 2 toddlers and asked for a table setting that seat 8-10. The server and my party of 2 were confused, but whatever, small children need more space. Granted, we ordered before them, like a solid 10 minutes. And they received our order with a smile before us. I have weird supersonic hearing so I overheard the husband order their food; mussels, shrimp, jumbo crawfish. And well, what arrived to their table was the two pounds of shrimp spicy that we ordered. Now, I can't assume, but I'm sure it wasn't their first time at a seafood boil and if my memory serves me right, YOU USUALLY GET ALL OF YOUR ORDER IN ONE BAG/BOWL. And if you didn't order spicy and noticed it extra spicy for "mild", wouldn't you ask? Ok. Well enough with this debacle. What warrants this low rating is the LACK of customer service. When you accidentally give our order to another table and keep walking by wondering why we don't have anything in front of us should signal a red flag, but like my past relationships, they might be colorblind. On top of that, admitting fault means taking accountability and that goes a long way in hospitality. But no "sorry" was provided until I paid for the one drink and one basket we ate. And it's even crazier that I can understand Vietnamese and I can see your POS system and it clearly said my order was done by I obviously didn't have it. And then asking for it to be removed but was told you can't but then I am standing right there looking dead at you, ultimately made you uncomfortable. No solution was provided for giving our order away. Instead they let me pay for whatever did arrive and a measly "sorry" after I tapped my phone. We will never dine here again. We will tell all of our homies. What a great first and last impression. read more

This is my new favorite crawfish place!! Got crawfish, clams, and lobster in a non-crawfish season and all were big and tasted delicious!

I used to live near boiling crab. I'm more of a savory seafood type of girl. So I'm not a fan of the sauce being on the sweeter side. I didn't realize that they had an option for a classic Cajun (unsweetened). That's why I never bothered to try it out until now. I loved how they specified the sweet or unsweetened part. I love how much garlic and seasoning they put into it. Light on the butter. I initially thought wow they go skimpy on the sauce. But there's tons of seasoning and garlic. You don't need all that extra butter. Just the way I like it. I hate going to places where it's just seasoning that's diluted in butter. No seasoning sticking onto the seafood whatsoever. I love their Cajun sauce, you can taste a hint of lemon, lots of black pepper which I loved, salt level was perfect. The mild had a nice kick. I wish I had gotten it spicy. I got the clams. They were huge! Not those baby clams. It was cooked perfectly. But all and all. I love how close they are to my house. Definitely coming back to try more. read more
