Food - Delicious! We got the crab nachos with the wonton chips. Plenty of crab on top. Kind of didn't really like the cheese sauce on it, would have preferred more sweet & sour sauce. Also wish it came in the cute ferry boat but they ran out! Would def get again. Service - Quick. Ambiance - its at the park so not sure what you would expect. just wait in line and take your food elsewhere. read more

It was a very very long queue. Most importantly I think everyone was like me who just wants the ferry boat to take home. I got the crab meat nachos. The nachos was very very crispy and I think it's double fried. Great portion of the crab meat. At first it's very delicious but if you're eating it by yourself, it gets salty at time. I'd ask for 2 lemon since they give you one instead. read more

I only have these crab fries about once a year as they are definitely decadent - a huge pile of crab on top a huge pile of fries - plentiful with Old Bay. The crab is fresh and there is a ton of it, and the fries are crispy. Not much else to it other than tartar sauce, lemon, and a Mariners game. On a beautiful day it's the ultimate Seattle experience. Staff are friendly and the line is usually shorter than other food stands. read more

Had the crab sandwich at a recent baseball game. I was excited as the thought of a crab sandwich sounds good however this didn't taste as expected. Tasted like a crab and mayo sandwich that sat in the sun to long so was bland and borderline spoiled . Server was friendly though read more

Seattle, T-Mobile Park. August 2023. Located out in the deep left- center field concourse. Yes, that qualifies as being Way Back. But then, aren't all the best ballpark food vendors - that the common fan has access to - located out in center field? If you want fried clams or clam chowder, you choose Ivar's. But for a crab sandwich or shareable crab fries you have to fight the crowds and get in line here. It is worth the wait. Grab something and walk over to the rail to look at the day's starting pitchers warming up in the bullpens and enjoy yourself. read more

I ordered the Crab Sandwich and Old Bay fries. Both were very good. They also served one of my favorite beers, Boneyard RPM IPA. Their service was very good. They managed the demand very well. Everything came out quickly, and seemed very fresh. The line moved quickly. The staff were all very friendly and professional. I would have given them a 5* rating, but the prices they charge are out of line with what the serve. I paid ~$40 (before tip) for a very good sandwich, pretty good fries, and a good beer. read more

Why did you close your stand alone restaurant? I can only enjoy your food during baseball season! I have been waiting all year to find time to go back to this place. The fries are amazing with GENEROUS amounts of fresh crab and who doesn't love Old Bay?! And the sandwiches are loaded with crab too! Perfect ballpark food to go with my beer as I stare at the space needle in the distance. What a perfect day! read more

Crab sandwich was pretty good but I would not say it had tons of crab. Decent service. Thankfully caught it when no one was in line. Worst part was price shock!! Could have sworn the sign said $16.99 but my bill was $26!! What the hell?! I could buy a whole darn crab for that much!!! Next time I would recommend eating at home or elsewhere before coming to the game or any other event here. read more

As a person with celiac, I have a love/hate relationship with this place. They change their fries often between fries with wheat dusting and fries with corn starch. When it's the latter, I can eat there. When it's the former, it's poison. Have to ask every time. When I can eat it, the crab fries are the greatest food at the park. Haven't been able to eat there the past few seasons. read more

Based on positive reviews I've read on Yelp, I was quite disappointed with the sandwich. This was not worth $18.50! Sandwich was not fresh, the slab of crab meat was very thin, bread was extremely greasy on the outside with barely any flavor on the inside and I had a few pieces of crab shell in the sandwich. The only saving grace about the sandwich was the flavor of the crab. read more

I am not a big fan of Safeco Field's stadium fare, but there is one place that totally hits it out of the park - Way Back Crab Shack! It is definitely the best food item at the stadium! It is toasted and buttered sourdough goodness, slathered with aioli and a generous portion of Dungeness crab! It is a large sandwich, so share with a friend! Sharing is caring, right? Located on the main level in center field, this sandwich is not cheap. This sucker will set you back $16.50, but it will be $16.50 well spent! read more

I read online somewhere an article that had the best thing to try in each MLB stadium. For Safeco field it listed the Crab Sandwich, so I had to stop by and try it out. Wow what a sandwich! I was very surprised at the amount of Crab they put on these, very bountiful and filling. The bread was incredible, toasted with garlic and butter, you can't go wrong there! I also had the seasoned fries here and they did not disappoint. Service here was great. There was essentially no line and the sandwiches and fries were all ready and waiting under hot lamps. The flavor was great though, I'll definitely be back to have another one this season! read more

Love the crab sandwich and old bay fries, probably the best food at t-mobile on game day!

Delicious, nothing spared. Toasted buttery French sourdough bread with chunks of 100 percent Dungeness crab meat. Served with ripe tomatoes. They're already prepared and inside their heating display cases. If the line isn't too long, they'll let you choose which sandwich you want. Some are burnt and some are lightly toasted. There are also Cajun fries sold here. I shall try some next time with their beer on tap! read more

Hands-down the best place that offers the most quality food item in the entire stadium. They are located in center field and right above the pen. They offer a unique twist on the traditional sandwiches and fries you get from a typical stadium by adding Dungeness crab. It's definitely pricy at about $16 for each, which is understandable since Dungeness crab is expensive, but you know what? TREAT YO SELF. If you're a foodie, you'll definitely want to grab the crab sandwich. The Dungeness crab, tomato, and Mayo wrapped in a beautifully grilled garlic butter sourdough all work in harmony to make you want to keep coming back for another bite. Also, crab on fries? I know what you're thinking, how does that work? It's just like ketchup on eggs, or dipping your fries in a Wendy's Frosty, when it works, it works. It tastes just like how it sounds, crab on top of fries. Nothing too special, but definitely flavorful and worth trying out! My recommendation would be to definitely get the crab sandwich. It's something I always try to get whenever I feel like I can justify spending that much within my college budget. read more

I try to make it Safeco at least once a year to catch my Angels on the road at this beautiful ballpark. I usually go to a couple of games and eat before showing up. But this time, for the second game, a day game, I decided to eat at the ballpark. I looked up articles suggesting the best items to eat at different ballparks and, for Safeco, it was this CRAB SANDWICH. Now, my only regret is that I didn't have this at both games! I walked by the stall and thought the sandwich looked pretty decent. The line wasn't too bad either so I queued up. Price-wise, it's within the ballpark (ha) of what you'd pay since you know, you're at a ballpark. Anyhow, it was an amazing sandwich! Piled between two thick and crunchy slices of garlic butter grilled sourdough was a surprising amount of shredded Dungeness crab meat and slices of tomatoes. That's it and that's all you need. I was tempted to get another, but alas it's something to look forward to on my next trip to Safeco! read more

This crab sandwich was super delicious!! Really wasn't expecting much when I got it. It wasn't even freshly made! Looked like it was sitting out for a while. But man oh man was it ever delicious!! My sandwich was packed with crab and was seasoned deliciously. Nicely grilled and super yummy. Kinda expensive but it was a stall in the ballpark so the price was pretty expensive. Came here around the 7 th inning and there wasn't a line (though they weren't cooking it fresh anymore). 10/10! read more

In my opinion, the crab sandwich from here is the best food item in all of Safeco Field. First they take two thick slices of sourdough bread, lather on some butter and garlic, then grill them to golden perfection. After that, they pile on a mound of crab and a couple slices of tomato to make for a seriously delicious treat. Granted, the price is a little steep but, if you are at a sporting event, this is to be expected and no whining allowed. They also offer french fries which, from what I understand, can be topped with the same crab mixture that they put on the sandwiches although, if I'm going to order here, there's no way I'm missing out on that deliciously grilled bread. They do serve beer, wine, soft drinks, and water here so plenty of options to quench your thirst and having wine available is nice because there aren't many places in the ballpark that offer it. Special shout out to our new friend Eddie who took our order, got our food, poured our drinks, and took our money all in a way that made you feel like he was an old friend and not just some random vendor who didn't care about his job. Not sure if he works there during all the games, but if you stop by, look for him, grab a sandwich and a beverage, and enjoy the game! read more

It'sa "shack" stuck in the middle of a baseball park.... You stand in line with the masses and point and pick your meal. The sandwich was good, not amazing, but for new standard park food, it was tastier than I expected. The "ouch" factor was for 2 sandwiches and 1 beer, it was $50! And for that I didn't get a cloth napkin or candles at my table.... heck, I didn't even get a table! Meh.... I give it 3 stars for a few reasons, the line was ridiculously slow, the fact they only sold what 2-3 items, the wait was just silly. Also the fact that at 51 years old they "carded" me, now granted I'm not overly grayed haired, but I look "old" enough NOT to get carded, if there's a next time I'll show them my AARP and ask for a discount!! I was also a tad miffed that we wandered up to the Terrace level of the park, only to find the same sandwich, minus the "shack" atmosphere, CHEAPER! Plus side the M's won that night in 11 innings, and it was my first game at the park in over 8yrs.... read more

Based on information I saw, it looked like one of the better restaurants a the ballpark. Had a Crab sandwich and Old Bay Fries. They took for ever too make food even though not that busy and the staff too chatty with each other. Myself and others had to wait on the side for food to be ready. read more

Don't believe the hype. We waited in line for quite awhile, which is of course expected but it definitely wasn't worth it. It's ok but $16.50 is definitely not even close to worth the dry sourdough bread, scooped on crab salad (with a bit of she'll mind you) and some tomato. read more

You should go here if you love standing in line for a half hour, missing 1.5 innings, for them to tell you they're out of what you want even though there is no sign saying that item is out. I paid a lot for my tickets and for them to waste my time and money like that was very disappointing. read more
