Located just off Marine view Drive in the lower part of the brown building at 22341 Marine View Drive S, in Des Moines, wa I had the shrimp etouffee and hubby had the seafood platter. Hubby is not a lover of catfish but the waitress brought him a little piece to try and he ended up liking it and ordering the meal.

First and foremost, the Chicken & Sausage Gumbo was amazing. I love gumbo, so finding this place…read morewas such a treat. When we were there in February 2026, we met Reginald. While we were talking, he learned where I work and what we were going through. Without hesitation, he wanted to help. I connected him with the right person, and he generously donated approximately 70 gallons of his Chicken & Sausage Gumbo, along with rice and spoons, for all three shifts. He is truly an amazing person, and his food is just as incredible. Thank you, Reginald--my coworkers and I are so grateful for your kindness and support!

Walked out spending over $100. Will be returning of course. I bought the gumbo today for the second time. They make it themselves and OMG delicious. You get a side of rice and crackers. I did add my own crackers in this picture. Portion size is perfect. The customer service is always great and love all the hints of them on the walls. A must when you are in Kent or looking to try something new.

After moving to Seattle from Texas, the thing I miss the most is fresh crawfish. So when I found…read moreout Crawfish Hut was getting fresh Louisiana crawfish this week, I immediately went... and omg it did not disappoint. The Hut Special sauce was SO good. So good that I came back 3 days in a row and even bought extra to go The crawfish tasted fresh, perfectly seasoned, and honestly brought me right back to Texas/Louisiana crawfish season. And the best part? It was only $13/lb which is actually amazing for fresh crawfish in Seattle. If they could get fresh crawfish even just once a year, I'd be happy. Definitely one of my favorite seafood spots now.

My girlfriend was vegetarian for 10 years, and didn't eat fish for 11 years. For her first time…read moretrying fish in that long we went to Wally's as it is a longtime favorite of mine. Not only did they have great drinks, and she loved her salmon and chips (first time trying ever!), but our waiter, Sean, blew us away with his great service. When he found out she had never been to Wally's or tried clam chowder, he brought out a complimentary sample bowl for her! And when we checked out, he also gave us a free slice of coconut cream pie! (First time both of us tried that, too!). Overall it was an amazing experience and I'm so glad my gf could have a great re-introduction to seafood. Shoutout the GOAT Sean!

This was another great lunch at Wally's. We got seated fast and had our owner in quick. We both got…read morethe Cod and Chips special and a bowl of 50/50 chowder.

Came here craving a seafood boil and overall, this was the best one I've had so far!…read moreThe clams were fresh, the crab legs were meaty, the headless shrimp were perfectly cooked, and I loved the addition of eggs and potatoes to soak up all that sauce. The lobster was unfortunately an overcooked, but everything else in the boil was so good that it made up for it. Speaking of the sauce -- it was SO good. We got to choose our sauce and spice level, and it had the perfect balance of flavor, spice, and heat without overpowering the seafood. It complemented everything really well. We also ordered the calamari. It was crispy, but the batter was a bit heavy and could've used more seasoning. Service was great -- our server was kind, attentive, and checked in on us regularly without being intrusive. They also offer combo meals, which I thought were a great value for the amount of seafood you get. Overall, I'd absolutely come back. If you're craving a seafood boil with customizable spice and solid portions, this spot is worth it!

It's a clean and tidy butcher store, no bad smell it's fresh.

We drove on out to the Des Moines location as closest to our home. I really wanted those oyster…read moreshooters being advertised on Facebook. The dining area and bar was packed but found some spots and hob-nobbed with locals at the bar. Got a drink, oysters for wife and some shooters. The oysters in the shooter were as pictured, plump, tasty with some cocktail sauce - loved them. Was thinking of another round when found wife wasn't so happy with the sad dozen micro-oysters she was serviced. Somehow, I realized the second level resturant was serving better oysters similiar to what was being used in the oyster shooter and we relocated to top level of the resturant. What a difference, different menu, was a fine dining experience - just what we needed so stepped up to the next level. Another dozen oysters, a few more oyster shooters, another round of cocktails, watched the beautiful sunset, fantastic service from the staff, we were totally relaxed and amazingly happy. Definitely will be back and promised my wife 2-3 dozen oysters the next time.

My parents treated me to a birthday dinner in their neighborhood. We dined at 5pm to take advantage…read moreof the 3-course meal for $35. Definitely a good call. The restaurant has beautiful views of the water and the marina. Service wasn't particularly warm, but efficient. We wanted to take advantage of the rhubarb seasonal desserts, so appreciated the suggestion to take home the desserts from the price fixe menu. We didn't care for the rhubarb cocktails (much too sweet) but they were taken away without any comment and removed from the final bill. My parents love the chowder, and enjoyed it. I didn't care for the consistency. The shrimp cocktail was a fun retro flavor. Crispy celery, creamy sauce, and the shrimp was cooked well. We all ordered the sole almondine and substituted roasted potatoes for the rice. The potatoes were good, as was the accompanying asparagus. The fish was breaded, and topped with ground almonds which were warmed in butter. The bottom piece of fish was unfortunately soggy, and I prefer an almondine sauce when it's made with sliced almonds. It was a little flat tasting. But overall, the dish was good. The desserts were average. The sugar crust on my father's creme brûlée was too thick and flamed a little too hard. The slump was tasty, but the ratio of filling ro cake was unbalanced (too much cake). The cheesecake was a good texture and the rhubarb sauce was nicely tangy. Overall, a mice evening and worth $35 for a 3-course meal.
