Been to this location twice. Food has been great the both times I've gone. Highly recommend. Family friendly. Children menus. Seafood boil. Spicy to mild. You pick and choose. If you cant finish it can take it to go as well. read more

Tried the boil this time. It's cheaper to get 1 lb of shrimp and 1 lb of snow crab vs two servings of 1/2 lb each. You just need to add more corn to make it equal. As it turns out, the potatoes are better then the corn. We opted for the popular mix of spices, butter and garlic with lemon. But it doesn't matter since I can't condone the amount of plastic used for one meal: plastic bag for the boil, gloves, bibs, tablecloth. It's just too selfish. But we did enjoy ourselves as BF never had crab before. We still enjoy shrimp more but crab was not over cooked. We just won't be back until that protocol changes. read more

If you love seafood and a crab boil - before coming here / please try: The Rockin' Crab & Boiling Pot 2850 SE 82nd Ave Portland, OR 97266 The tell me if you disagree with my rating. I've had a lot of crab boil * and blessed to have grown up in San Jose, CA with a giant melting pot of flavor and culture. This was a waste of money. The service on Friday around 1pm was awesome! Super kind and attentive. Loved the robot bringing you your tools. The headless shrimp tasted like frozen pre cooked shrimp devoid of flavor. I had to confirm we were given the Cajun flavor because it was that lacking for me. Honestly a hell of a lot of potential - figure out your recipe and quality. Go undercover, expand the flavor pallet on the Cajun recipe because I would LOVE to come back often to a local spot and give this a new 5 star review. read more

Great place to dine in. Enjoyed my dinner! We ordered a lb of protein each. My first visit was 1/2 crab legs and 1/2 shrimp (head on), potatoes and sausage with Cajun, medium spicy, this was my favorite order. My next visit I had 1 lb of shrimp with all seasonings and only potatoes. Service is great and attentive! Lots of tv's to watch on. read more

Ordered 1/2lb. snow crab legs and rec'd JUNK! I couldn't believe when I opened my to-go order- the legs were small. No napkins/wet wipes/or utensils. 1 of the 4 (not 5) legs was partially missing. There was barely any meat!! I can't believe I spent $22.00 onthis. If I had thought first I would have pulled the actual meat from my legs and weighed. The person I dealt with was friendly upon my pickup. ( My only regret was not observing the food I just purchased). read more

Yummy Crab - The Snow Crab legs received from Yummy Crab. - Seafood Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I promised my wife crab legs as a treat after the recent birth of our second son, and she was more than willing to take me up on the offer. Being somewhat immobile due to...well, having just given birth, that meant the crab needed to come to her. Awesome husband to the rescue! Discovering that our favorite crab-slinging food cart was in the process of relocation, we needed to look elsewhere, and decided to give Yummy Crab a shot. Picking up her full order of Dungeness legs, medium hot, Cajun style, and bring it back home, it thankfully arrived intact, un-spilled, and still piping hot! Gauging by the carnage left behind, I'd say she enjoyed it. In fact, she said Yummy Crab probably ranked as her second favorite crab restaurant, which is pretty high praise: we've have had some mediocre and underwhelming experience elsewhere, and were glad to buck the trend. Although it's a little out of the way, across the river from home, we're in the Vancouver Mall area often enough that the chance of stopping in, and dining in person, the next time the crab craving overtakes her, is pretty darn high. read more

I've been here twice for to-go orders, and as much as I'd like to rate this place more highly, it just doesn't warrant it. On the plus side, "Fish and chips" portion sizes are very generous for the price. That's the only plus. On the "not great" side: * Flavors are just not good. The crab cakes were as pedestrian as they come. The clam chowder was just weird...lacking in flavor, and what little flavor was there was just "off" * ALL fried items taste of fish, clearly indicating that they same fryer and fry oil is used for all fried items * Prices for seafood boil items are obscenely expensive * Quality control is bad. The packet of (factory-made) oyster crackers with the clam chowder was completely stale * Their "popcorn chicken" is weird...whatever it is, it looks like spongy foam rubber, and has a peculiar taste * Service is not very attentive. I've only gotten to-go orders (twice), and both times, I had to wait five to ten minutes for anybody to acknowledge my presence On my most recent (and what will be my last) visit, I was told that my to-go order would be ready in "about ten minutes". There was only one party of diners in the entire restaurant at the time. It took them right at 35 minutes to get my order to me. I really wish they'd told me it would be a 35-minute wait, so that I could have gone somewhere else instead. read more

They have a military discount which was really nice. I ordered right before 9 and got my food about 20 minutes later. I was glad that I could order over the phone and pick up later before they closed at 9:30. The catfish was nice and crispy but it have used more seasoning. The fries were great but the hush puppies were not good. Agin they lacked real seasonings. read more

Glad they opened one in Vancouver so we don't have to travel to Portland if we don't have the time to. Ample parking outside and we were seated quickly. I had the 1lb of snow crab legs, with all the seasonings mixed and medium spice. It was good. Crab steamed perfectly so no sticking to the shell. And the seasonings were good also. My dad had the crab legs and shrimp combo, and added class, garlic butter seasoning, no spice. Bill was a little over $100 for two people, with two fountain drinks and one appetizer. read more

Super fun place for a date with my husband! The staff is super friendly, helpful and attentive. The restaurant is clean and has fun, kitschy decor. They have booths and tables available inside the dining area. It's located in a strip mall next to Angel Donuts. We walked in and were immediately greeted and seated. The menu has many seafood options including crab, shrimp, oysters, clams, catfish, tilapia, and calamari. They offer boils and fried fish baskets with fries. The baskets come with both tartar and cocktail sauces. The boils come with bibs, gloves and wipes. We ordered a boil with half a pound of shrimp and half a pound of crawfish, and the combo fried fish basket with catfish and shrimp. All the fish tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. We chose the garlic butter old bay seasoning for our boil flavor. It was really good! The batter on the fried fish had a nice flavor and wasn't too heavy or greasy. We really enjoyed our first visit and are looking forward to our next! The pricing is very reasonable for fresh fish options. There is nothing like it in Vancouver that I know of. If you're looking for a fun experience and fresh seafood, I would highly recommend. read more

I apparently hit them on a bad day last time. My best friend loves their food so she convinced me to try again. I had the fried calamari appetizer and clam chowder. The calamari was a generous portion and cooked perfectly. Very tender. The clam chowder was fine. I think it's a matter of your personal preference. My friend raves about it. Definitely give it a try and decide where you are on the spectrum. My husband had the shrimp fried rice and liked it. A nice amount of shrimp on it. Virginia gave us good service. So I changed my mind. I will be back. read more

They don't always come to bug you while you're eating so it's super nice. read more

Yummy Crab - Seafood Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I was out late in the area with my kiddos and was looking for some quick eats when I stumbled upon this restaurant. I called them about fifteen minutes before closing. I wasn't expecting much, but they answered with cheer in their voice. When I arrived on a Monday night, it was near empty save for some customers waiting on to-go orders. The restaurant itself I thought was pretty cute, albeit empty as they were about to close and cleaning up. I can definitely see this place being livelier during busy days. When the food arrived, it was packaged really really well. I guess this is standard practice for seafood boils, but in my case I ordered fried foods so I tore open the containers as quickly as possible to preserve texture. They also supplied sauces and utensils which was nice of them! The catfish was seasoned perfectly and cooked really well. It was a little thinner than I'd like myself but my kids loved it, so it's probably a preference thing. I was surprised at how well they cooked their fries. Crispy on the outside and very fluffy on the inside. My kids were excited to come back and try it again, so next time I hope to try their seafood boils when I have time to sit down. read more

Both the food and the service were quite good...We were pleased with our experience and will return in the future.

Very friendly service, and prompt. The appetizers were delivered by robot, how cute. And HOT food!! (Spring rolls and toast) We both had the shrimp baskets, with fries. Prices weren't cheap, but neither waa the food or service. I'll be back. read more

What a wonderful place to have lunch. A hidden little Jim, they shouldn't be hidden. The food was wonderful. The service was outstanding and the ambience. Well, it speaks for itself. I had the deep fried oysters and clam chowder, my wife had the shrimp with french fries and hush puppies, and we both walked out of their very satisfied. If I was gonna complain about anything, it's the fact you can't find a place :-) it should be a giant billboard out front :-) thank you and we highly recommend it. read more

Yummy Crab - Happy customers - Seafood Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Yes, finally, a seafood place in Vancouver amongst an over abundance of repetitive offerings. We hand an incredible experience, devouring every bit of our meal with satisfying grunt and groans of pure bliss. We had a pound each of snow crab and Dungeness crab, a half pound of mussels, and a half pound of shrimp. We opted for the Old Bay seasoning and a side of toast. This was absolutely one of the most enjoyable meals we've had in a long time. We will definitely be returning on a regular basis. Lastly, our server, Ayleen, was a real pleasure to chat with. She was super helpful, cheerful, and attentive. Atmosphere is comfy, and decorations remind us of the sea. We felt that overall, and given the quality of the food and service, Yummy Crab is a great value and fun experience. read more

Super fun and friendly staff. We tried it on a whim, never having had this style of food/dining (e.g. Yummy Crab, Bag'O'Crab, and the others that have popped up in the last few years). Tasty, but a lot of work, and ultimately not my...uh...bag. :) I broadened my horizons, tried something new and found it wasn't for me. I personally won't be back, but that's definitely a 'me thing'. The restaurant is great! read more

Stopped in for lunch on the weekend. Lunch menu doesn't apply during the weekends. Friendly and attentive staff. We ordered the combo fried basket- catfish/tilapia/shrimp and an order of popcorn chicken. Generous portions. The shrimp were jumbo sized and fish were large peices. The fries were the right amount of crispy, very good! Popcorn chicken was soft and good too. Though we would consider they were more like mini chicken nuggets. We would come back to try other items! read more

Omg this place definitely hit the spot and fixed my cravings for seafood in the best of ways! Yummy crab puts the yum in yummy and we had a wonderful waitress named Tenicia who was an absolute gem to have especially with the two of us working in the service industry she definitely knows how to do her job and she does it extremely well and I'd be happy with having her as our waitress anytime! The restaurant is also very clean, food is amazing, service is excellent, and we'll definitely be back again and not just for date night next time we'll be sure to bring our family and friends along for the incredible experience! read more

Surprisingly, the hot and sour soup was one of the best I've ever had! I had not expected that in a crab restaurant.

Trying this new seafood boil place when we happened to be around the Vancouver area. We got the canjun flavor but The seasoning was not that flavorful . Also ordered Chicken wings and that was ok. Seafood quality was good though it's just the seasoning was just alright. Customer service was great. I do recommend you giving it a try if you're around the area. read more

The food portions were good - the service was great! The price point was spot on for market value and items on the menu. They do have daily specials which I ordered for my son $27.99 - 1/2 snow crab and 1/2 shrimp with few pieces of corn and potatoes with no spice/garlic butter sauce ... when you look at his food it looks unseasoned and perfect BUT it was farthest from perfect and HOT as heck spicy. I truly thought he was exaggerating AND NOW I FEEL TOTALLY TERRIBLE. I had 1 shrimp and was INSTANTLY OMG shocked it was hot. I had no spice with garlic butter With Obay seasoning there was no heat to my combo craw/shrimp/snow $100 with sausage, corn and potatoes. We had plenty of leftovers! We also tried the fried oysters and French fry basket that was phenomenal! I do recommend if you do have anything tasting too hot or anything in general speak up about it! Overall it was good! Due to the unwanted spice heat for my 12 year old this is why I gave 3 stars read more

Fresh and tasty seafood, friendly service, cozy place I'll definitely come back, awesome place

This place is really delicious. The servers are super friendly and incredibly attentive, and my god this food was amazing. I got the number 3: Cajun and extra hot. The snow crab legs were pretty thick, the lobster tail was pre-opened so I don't struggle to get the meat out. The potatoes... holy f they were so juicy. The corn was a perfect touch of sweet The atmosphere was a bit odd. It feels very "new" but as more people come in and time goes on it'll become a nostalgic comfort feel as one would expect at a crab boil spot. All and all: I give it an A- read more

The food was fresh and really good taste. The service was excellent. Our wait staff checked on us frequently. The place is fairly new so it's nice and clean, and decor was exciting to be around with your friendly shark and crab on the ceiling/walls. I would absolutely go there again. Only one thing is that the menu is mainly seafood with one or two chicken alternative, so just know that before going there in case you have someone that can't/won't eat seafood. We looked up the menu before hand and was already aware. STILL happy we went. Soooooooo yummy! read more

First time and it was quick to serve food and very good. Yes it's a bit expensive when you do a lb of crab and lb of shrimp but was very good. It's not. Set up fancy. But I would have spent way more for the same at red lobster. read more

Went to this newly opened restaurant on a Friday afternoon for the lunch menu. Very friendly greeting at the door. There were three of us. They have a pretty extensive lunch menu. We chose 3 fried baskets. One catfish, one shrimp and one oysters. They all came with very good fries. The catfish were 3 large juicy pieces. I would definitely order these again. The 6 shrimp were big and plump and you could tell they were hand battered. The 6 oysters were a hit. The only thing I think could be improved on could be the tarter sauce. Needed more flavor and more pickles. Our wait person was friendly and knowledgeable. I went back today just to make sure it was what I remembered. It was. read more

Yummy Crab - Crawfish, crab, corn, potatoes, sausage boil with butter, garlic and old bay - Seafood Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I understand they're newish, so maybe they haven't ironed out all the wrinkles. The Asian lady who appears to be the owner is friendly and nice on the surface, but if you are there long enough you'll start to see that she hasn't a clue what to do but smile at customers. She's always arguing with the servers. Last time she was yelling so loud the whole restaurant could hear the argument. Just uncomfortable environment. Food is bland. The spicy isn't even spicy, and everything tastes the same. Only real difference is the saltiness level from "flavor" to "flavor." More like Yucky Crab. Wouldn't recommend. read more
