This place is amazing, the atmosphere is chill and the waiters are great! The food always comes out hot and it's well seasoned! This green sauce is for the Cajun wings but I love dipping my fries in it! It's spicy and creamy! I also recommend getting the crazy mix to get all the flavors in your seafood boil bags! I have been here multiple times and it's never let me down! read more

Bucket O' Crawfish - Headless shrimp, crazy mix, spice level hot - Seafood Near Me - West Valley City, Utah

See all

For Utah a land locked state this was a pretty legit seafood spot. The menu is accessible through a QR code on your table. In addition to a variety of boiled seafood options they also had fried seafood, and poboy sandwiches. I wasn't expecting much but the portions were huge and prices reasonable. Although not as fresh as Louisiana it definitely satisfied that seafood craving. I ordered the spiciest level combo of snow crab and shrimp which came with potatoes, corn and sausage, however it wasn't that spicy at all. The spice also didn't go through into the seafood which is what usually happens when the sauce is just poured on top instead of boiling the seafood in the spices. The mix of all three flavors was a nice mix without being overly sweet like some places. I like that they offer you bibs and gloves to enjoy your meal without making a mess but you'll still smell like a boil when you leave. Does it compare to the South, unfortunately no, is it a good option in SLC, absolutely! read more

Bucket O' Crawfish - Seafood Near Me - West Valley City, Utah

Was pleasantly surprised with this seafood boil! Definitely the best I've had compared to Utah County. The restaurant was clean and seemed to be well maintained. The restroom was a little dirty and rundown. The service was alright. Not the best. Our waiter took awhile to check on us after we got our food and only refilled my water once. It also took awhile to get our check. The calamari was really good and nice and crisp. I enjoyed the fried jalapeño with it as well and the sauce has a subtle heat that I enjoyed as well. The clams were really small and didn't have a lot of meat. About half of them were missing the clam meat as well. The shrimp was big and juicy though. The potatoes were a little mushy and the sausage was good but not for the price because they only gave me five small pieces. The crazy sauce with medium heat was super flavorful. I enjoyed it! Overall, decent experience but I wouldn't order the clams again. I would probably just stick to all shrimp. I would come back for sure! read more

This has been my go to seafood place 2018! I've had nothing but great experiences here. Fried calamari here is a must every time!!!

I wouldn't say I'm a seafood boil expert, but I'm an enthusiast. First off, the vibe was on point. It had the light wood panels on the wall with various seafood decor. Which I have seen before such as Boiling Crab in Las Vegas. I got the Catfish Po'Boy and 1/2 crawfish, medium, mixed flavor. The Po'Boy bread was really soft and warm, catfish had light breading and was flaky. Now, this is strangest boil sauce I ever had, all sauces in my life has always tasted it was butter based. However, this one didn't, it resembled a salsa that was lightly sweetened. You might be as confused by my description, but how it tasted. My taste bud was just as confused. The crawfish were pretty small and a tad undercooked. Other folks in my group had the Treasure Chest, Cod Fish and Shrimp/Crawfish. They said the same thing about crawfish. Although they didn't have anything bad to say, it doesn't mean there wasn't. The service was really good though, very attentive, fast and friendly. I felt $14/lbs for crawfish is high, maybe that's the standard in SLC. Overall, I would not come here again for a seafood boil, that sauce was just not it, sorry. The other stuff was good. read more

Found this place on Yelp and wanted to check it out. I like that you can build your own bag which was the draw versus just a preassembled choice. The menu also had baskets like fish and chips and such if you don't want to do the messy eating. We got there and were seated right away. Small parking lot for a few restaurants that are all next to each other. Our waitress was nice and checked on us a few times during our time there. I got a cluster of the snow crab and 1/2 lb clams. I did a mix of the garlic and Cajun flavoring. I also got some onion rings. We were given bibs when our food arrived but not offered gloves (I heard other tables get offered this). The napkin roll was on the table already. The flavoring was great. Lots of garlic so beware if you get that kind. You can get your spice level how you'd like too. I got mild. It came with a small corn cob and 2 big potato chunks. My friend and I were loving it! The onion rings were good too! We'll def be back to make a different mixture next time! read more

This place is always a go to for Cajun boil. We got there right when they opened so the staff seemed a little off put. I got the golden king crab which I have never had before much better price than the Alaskan king crab it was $25 as opposed to $68. I would stick to regular snow crab next time though although the pieces of meat were huge it was cold in the middle and the shells is rubbery and weirdly soft made it a little hard to get into and the spikes are not fun. Black mussels were solid as always. Overall very good though the sauce they use is so tasty! And the Calamari is the best in town! read more

If I can give no star's, I would. We just had dinner at the Bucket o Crawfish on 1980 W 3500 S and we found what looked like foil wiring. Not once but twice. We ordered the Calamari appetizer and one of our family members almost bit into a big chunk of wire! We called the waiter over and they offered to give us one free order. We were in a celebratory mood, so we were cautious when eating but took the free order to go. When we got home, my son started eating the new order of Calamari, and he bit into another piece of wire. Had anyone of my family members would have eaten that wire, both would be in the hospital right now. I feel like it was in the batter, which is worse and gross the wiring was in there in the first place. I spoke to the manager, he apologized but only wanted to refund the Calamari and not the entire dinner. Which is the least he should be doing considering some one could have choked on that wire. This is not the only bad experience that we have had at this restaurant. The last time we were there, our order of wings were not cooked. It was all red and raw in many parts. It will be the last time we come to this place. NEVER AGAIN!! I do not want to eat some place that I have to be watching my food to make sure that there is nothing that I am going to choke on and potentially die. Be ware if you decide to go! read more

As an avid seafood boil eater from California, I was not expecting this place to be this freaking good. I was skeptical at first because I did try other places here and wasn't impressed. But buck o crawfish I ordered the fresh crawfish (thank god it's in season right now) with the sauce on the side. Honestly, I didn't even have to use the sauce on the side! They cooked it damn near close to how Louisiana makes it. I've been to New Orleans a couple times and fell in love with the flavors. Bucket o crawfish is climbing the ladder of my favorite places to go. The flavor was soaked inside of the crawfish, and that's the best way to have it IMO. This was my second time ordering, and I've been absolutely happy each time. I'll come back for sure!! read more

This place is a great little near-dive. The service was fantastic, out waitress was very knowledgeable and patient, especially with our infant daughter. The food was great, it's hard to find fried catfish, one of my favorites, and their was very good. The breading was light and crispy. The coconut shrimp were also phenomenal. The shrimp were not overcooked and the sauce it came with was really good too. read more

Solid place to get a seafood boil! Great flavor and price point! They have plastic wrapped tables, bibs, and gloves since it can get messy in the best way.

The best Viet-Cajun peel and eat seafood spot in Utah in my opinion. The lemon pepper sauce or the mix of all the spices are my favorites

Good food even if you aren't looking for strictly seafood. However you should definitely go here for the crawfish. I had a Shrimp Po and it was great! The service was 10/10 our waitress was good about making rounds and checking in on us. Also the spot is nice with lots of seating and spacing. I can imagine it would get full on weekends so be warned but great spot! read more

Not a bad place for shrimp. I remember going to this place back in 2013 and forgot this place was here when my wife and I moved here in 2018. We came for the first time today for lunch and the waitresses were really nice. My wife has been craving shrimp for the longest time so we made a drive from herriman to wvc. Elliana was our waitress and she was an outstanding waitress, was always there for a refill and her customer service was awesome. My wife and I ordered a pound of shrimp each, I had the medium spice with all the mix and she had the spicy hot with all the mix. We ordered rice for each of us (were Asian so we need our rice) Shrimp came around 10 mins later and wow. The shrimp was awesome! It was under or over cooked in anyway as it was perfectly tender and awesome. We both enjoyed the spice level of our shrimps as well. Well recommended. read more

The best seafood in a bucket place by far!!!! Their seafood is great and their wings and wings are sauce are out of this world. We have moved away, but any time we are in town, this is my go to place!!!! read more

Watch your bill from this place! They add 18% to your bill for group size of 6 and then the tip line is conveniently calculated for you at increments of 22% or more for you to choose to add!! You do not need to pay these excessive tips for overpriced under cooked rubbish food. The restaurant wasn't even busy when we went, what is the difference of one table of 6 or two tables of three? 18% is the difference!!!! Unacceptable. read more

Pros: The server was really nice and helpful! The calamari was very yummy but had jalapeños mixed in so sometimes you got a spicy bite. The fish and chips were okay as well. They give gloves and bibs to help manage the mess. Cons: The floor was sticky and overall didn't feel super clean. They don't bring your food out on a tray, so when you open it, the sauce just goes everywhere. Not the best bang for buck place. read more

Alright, so this was my first experience dealing with a face on my food. I'm not kidding. My entire life has granted me the blessing of faceless, poopless, shelled shrimp. So this was new, and it took me a minute to get past ripping off prawn faces. We were seated really quickly. It was a LOT of food; sure wish my man and I liked the same things so we could have just shared. The menu is simple. Pick your protein and your flavors. It comes out in a bag. Shake it up, fold down the bag, and dip your food in the bag when you need extra sauce. I got the garlic shrimp; it was super tasty, worth the work, even. The fries were also good, and our server apologized when they didn't bring out ranch per my request. She remedied it quickly and provided great service the whole time. I think I'd come back here. I enjoyed myself and my food. Just a heads up that if you're tearing up your seafood, your fingers will smell fishy for what feels like the rest of your life. read more

Bucket O' Crawfish - They don't wear the mask while serving your drinks or getting your food they kept talking on top of the food without masks! Be aware! - Seafood Near Me - West Valley City, Utah

Service was We were seated with a party of 5 at 6:10 and didn't get our food until 7:30. Then we had to wait another 10 minutes for gloves that they charge 25cents for. We asked a lady at the counter for gloves and she just told us it would be a minute so after 10 minutes we just went and found someone else. Now the crawfish and shrimp were good!! The mild was spicy enough! The crawfish weren't super spicy but the sausage soaked it all up and packed a punch. It was lame how you have to order for an up charge anything you want in the bag. In Texas, everywhere you go has some mix of potatoes and corn and you can add or take away what you want. I paid 50$ for a one pound bag of shrimp and one pound of crawfish that came out to like 10 total crawfish. Definitely recommend the shrimp over crawfish at "Bucket O Crawfish" read more

Prepared to get messy at this casual seafood restaurant, but it will be worth it since the food was delicious! Thank goodness they gave me a bib! My husband got the shrimp poboy with Cajun fries and my son got fried shrimp basket with plain fries. The fried shrimp was so good and I really loved the crispy batter. I got the bucket of headless shrimp, Cajun styled, medium spice. The seasoning was delicious!! The shrimps were big and juicy and I only got the half pound but it was plenty I shared with my family. The corn was so good in all that sauce and the potatoes were pretty big I have one to my husband and I was too full to eat the other. I did share the fries with my son since his basket had so many! Definitely give this place a try if you like seafood! read more

I've been coming here since they first opened and it's been hit or miss for a while. This visit was better than others, so I'm torn between 3 or 4 stars. Every table was taken on Sunday evening, so service was slowwwww. I ordered a beer and water, but the water didn't arrive til we were halfway through our meal and my beer was long gone. The seafood arrived way later than the appetizers and the corn bread was mushy and falling apart so we were given 4 for the price of 1. The calamari had a ton of pieces that were overdone and wasn't seasoned. They also were out of snow crab which was a first for me and I always order snow crab. Dungeness was good, but the spice level wasn't hot like I wanted. With other seafood spots popping up, I'm not sure I'll be coming back anytime soon. read more

This place is a lot of fun and the food really is fresh, making it one of the best seafood places in town. The prices are a little higher but you get what you pay for in a mix of quality, quantity and entertainment. Bang for your buck, this is a great deal. This time I got 1 lb.

It was all very good as far as fried foods go. read more

Went here again a few days ago. When it comes to seafood places, I really can't rate them on first time visit. Every seafood places has its moments of shortage of certain types of seafood depending on what part of the day you end up showing up at. The last couple of times, I would arrive pretty late and their Crawfishes would run out. On this particular occasion they had plenty of various seafood on hand. I ordered 2 lbs of Shrimp, 2lbs of Crawfish, 2lbs of mussels, 2lbs of clams and various side items like fries, rice bowls, etc. as for the flavors, I'm used to doing the All-in ingredients, aka Shebang, but that slogan was reserved for the Crawfish House, which is another place entirely (none in the SLC area). The wait for a bit long as we came in at their busiest hours. Between 6-8pm. They only open after 4 so getting there at the right time will make a huge different in waiting time for food. Parking here is also limited as well because it is shared among three other restaurant at this location. When they finally brought out the food, they were especially careful to separate the bags from each of the items we've ordered. After all of the food was set we started to dive into each bag. I pretty much sample everything. Given that I really don't eat too much spicy stuff any longer (I simply can't handle the heat anymore), the mix in our bags were just Mild Spicy. Medium Spicy is just way tooooo hot! The Cajun sauce for the Mild Spicy was just perfect. You can even sauté some of that sauce over white rice and take a spoonful. It'll taste like heaven (not that I've been to heaven or anything). I'll be coming here often now since they are almost a replacement for the Crawfish House which is a chain restaurant in California to Nevada. read more

I knew it was past prime crawfish season but sadly what I had was the worst crawfish of my life. The crawfish were cook prior to our visit and reheated from suspected frozen state and poorly done. I will only go to this establishment during prime season if ever again. Sad to say read more

I've visited this restaurant twice now, both times I got a pound of shrimp and a pound of clams with the medium heat crazy mix sauce, a garlicky sauce with cajun seasoning and a hint of beer, and it is delicious. Each visit the seafood has been fresh and the service was amazing. I decided to try the Fried Dungeness Cluster after the server recommended it, and it didn't disappoint. It is literally a half side of dungeness crab legs, battered and fried then covered in a sweet cajun garlic sauce, it was so good I got a second serving of it. I think their sausage is the only thing that's disappointing, each times it was flavorless from the way they cooked them. It is definitely a place I would go again. read more

Bucket o'crawfish is the place to go in SLC if you like Cajun flavors and seafood. It's seafood by the pound! Shrimp, crawfish, 2 types of crab,clams and mussels are on the menu along with some fried seafood offerings. Ordered 2 pounds of shrimp and crawfish. The crazy mix (all seasonings in one) and garlic butter are my two favorite. The flavors here aren't as good as places in Vegas or California (boiling crab or hot n juicy) 4 stars for it being in SLC, prob 3 stars in other cities. The Cajun fries were disappointing this time, not much Cajun seasoning. Our server she was friendly and very attentive to our large group of people. read more

I love the concept of this restaurant type - you choose the seafood, flavorings and if you want sides, and they cook it all and serve it to you in a plastic bag. Bucket also had fried seafood options and local beers. I had shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes in the crazy mix, medium spice. Shrimp were in the shell with heads, my preference with this kind of set up. Seasoning was ok, not as flavorful or spicy as I wanted. Portion was small, and the side portions were extremely chintzy for the cost. I'd hoped to do crawfish but Bucket was charging $12.95/lb. No way in hell I'm spending that much on crawfish. And after tasting their seasoning, I'm glad I went with the less expensive shrimp. Interior is large and well designed and decorated. Our waitress was nice enough but couldn't help us decide on our meals as she'd never eaten the food (wha?). read more

We were seated quickly, but then waitresses were busy talking. So we sat for a while. No drinks or anything. When waitress did come she was ready for drinks and our order. That worked out nice. Very joyful environment. People chatting at tables. Very fun vibe to the place. Had to order crabs and shrimp by the pound. Ouch. Ordered 1 dungeness, 1 snow crab, and 1lb of shrimp. Wanted to sample a lot of stuff. But having to buy full pound eacthat made the price go up. Roughly 16$ a pound. The food was excellent. Crab was cooked in a bag with all seasonings. They give you bib and paper towels. You will be a mess. Food was perfect and flavorful. So delicious. I could only eat 2.5lbs of food, so I gave another table my remaining shrimp. You will be full when you leave. I'm so happy to find this place. Amazing food. read more

Service: I sat at the bar for 13 minutes before I was greeted. Which was after all of the wait staff told each other they didn't want to take the next table because they were all too busy. I ordered a drink and asked for a menu. 7 minutes later I ordered a sausage appetizer...which took 32 minutes. All in all, I had one drink and a sausage appetizer and I was here for 52 minutes. This is unacceptable. There is something horribly wrong with the service here, and it's not in the understaffed waiters or cooks. Food: the sausage was extremely underwhelming and appeared to be boiled, but not in a crawfish boil. Certainly not "Cajun", and if that's what you're looking for as a patron, look elsewhere. Management: you are understaffed on front of house and back of house. Crawfish: I tried mine without a sauce, so if you are Cajun be in mind this is "west coast crawfish". It actually wasn't bad for crawfish that had been reheated in hot water, a little chewy, but easily peeled. With a sauce wouldn't be bad, but just not how I like my crawfish - doesn't mean you won't. Overall, would give it another try with a more open mind, but I was looking for Cajun food and this is not the place. The reason for the low rating is simply the pace of service. read more

This place could have been better on service, food and cost. Here are my ratings-- ***SERVICE*** I tested the waitress on a crawfish question, "is your crawfish fresh or frozen?" The waitress stated our crawfish is shipped fresh from Louisiana. Hmm, I know for a fact crawfish is not in season beyond July. So, to get fresh crawfish was definitely a false statement. ***FOOD*** My spouse ordered the catfish PO' boy, it was ok. I ordered the snow crab legs and shrimp in garlic/butter sauce, mild spicy. I should have asked the same question here; are the shrimp and snow crabs frozen or fresh? The shrimp was definitely from the frozen department. I'm not so sure about the snow crabs. They were tasty, but the shrimp was not. ***COST*** Given the PO' boy was under $15.00, my seafood meal of 1 lb each (minimum to order 1 lb) for shrimp and snow crab legs was $50.00!! That's freaky crazy to charge that much for frozen seafood. Yes, I know--I should have gone to Captain D's, Long John Silver or Red Lobster. Overall, I give this place a 2-star rating for its atmosphere and high energy. The rest I would be mindful when you order; ask is it fresh or frozen and ask the manager directly, not the wait staff. read more
