    I feel cheated on what I portion I was given especially for the price I paid over 30 something for half a pound of crawfish and green mussels with a side of rice is insane. Then again it is 2025 foods are so overpriced. The flavoring, was a complete disappointment and I was not expecting a bowl of soup to be sat in front of me. My expectation was a seafood boil, not a seafood soup.

    Great food... the fried mushroom are da bomb... def not frozen and you get a free pound of shrimp on your birthday!!

    Fried Oysters Po Boy
    Kenton B.

    First off, this place has been my go to for a while. I haven't been able to take pictures in the past because they bring out the bowl of seafood and I just stare at it while digging right in. The service is always amazing. When I ordered this oyster po boy, they made if in the time estimate that they gave me (15-18 minutes). One of the servers told me to sit while I was waiting for my order and asked if I wanted anything to drink. She gave me a diet coke for free and even talked to me for a bit while my food was being made. I love the vibe of the restaurant, where they bring seafood out in big bowls rather than a bag. The oyster po boy was one of the best I've had in Portland (hard food item to find). The oysters were definitely handled with care and fried to perfection. I often feel like fried oysters have too much batter, but these ones have a light and flavorful coating. I also ordered oyster shooters to go and those were delicious as well. Overall, they always have insanely affordable deals every week, so definitely look out on their socials for it. I highly recommend this place to any seafood lovers

    Boil with crab, shrimp, and clams

    Loved the lobster pops! They were tender and juice and came with a point dipping sauce. The seafood boil was very tasty. I liked that gloves and extra napkins were provided. Plaza parking lot has plenty of spots on a weekday late afternoon/early evening

    Dungeness crab with added corn and medium spicy with garlic butter boil
    Andrew A.

    I've been dying to go here since it was first brought up to me. First the restaurant itself is very clean and fun vibes inside playing incredible music. The service was friendly and accommodating but when it came to the food...... I'm not even sure if there is a character limit here but I can't begin to tell just how amazing this seafood boil is!!! The crab was so delicious and dipping it into the medium spicy garlic butter boil was just amazing!! Will absolutely go again but make sure you wear dark clothing!! The juices will get everywhere lol

    My daughter and I wanted to try seafood boil but had no idea where to go. A lot of people on Reddit suggested My Brother's Crawfish and I'm so glad they did. This place is SO GOOD. Food is on point here. I got a $5 side salad which was simple but got my greens in. My daughter and I shared the fried alligator bites and they were super good! They came with some type of tartar sauce and it was delicious. I got a seafood boil with the butter garlic broth, shrimp, lobster tail, potatoes, mushrooms and eggs. THE SAUCE IS DIVINE. Everything was cooked excellently. Hot AF but didn't stop me from eating My daughter got the seafood boil with hot broth, shrimp, lobster, clams, potatoes and eggs and said it was amazing. We were both honestly blown away. Our server was really nice and checked in on us periodically. We always had our water filled and enjoyed our time! We can't wait to come back.

    Seafood boil
    Spud B.

    I loved this! Amazing seafood boil, Alaskan king crab and crawfish were perfectly cooked, well portioned. Great seasoning, the waitresses were nice. They gave us extra corn that we asked for:-) we got ours to go and it was well packaged and did not leak. Yay 10/10. Also I live in Portland and it's for sure the best boil in this area.

    The shells of three pounds of crawfish?

    I ordered three pounds of crawfish in early March. My personal opinion is that the crawfish were frozen or over cooked. I also think that the three pounds of "crawfish" is weighted with the tons of water or butter. Please do not spend $50 on three pounds of fresh crawfish but ended up with a little over a pound. They ripped you off here. How many crawfish are in a pound? Field run mix will typically be between 20 to 30. Keep in mind, if they're running smaller, the count could be as high as 40.

    This is what they call crawfish etoufee
    Victoria S.

    If i could give this place negative ratings i would!! We were visiting from Seattle for a baseball tournament and decided to give this place a try. We were greeted with "We are out of crawfish and oysters." I knew we should have walked out then because how is it called MY BROTHERS CRAWFISH & you are out of crawfish?! This by far is THE WORST seafood boil i have ever had!!!! The sauce was watery and BLAND as hell! Lemons didn't even help. It was like seafood soup! The crawfish etoufee?! Looked like dog poo with a side of tomatoes. So disrespectful to REAL CRAWFISH ETOUFEE!!! Whoever they have cooking back there needs to be fired! We will never ever step foot in this place ever again.

    Seafood boil w/snow crab legs, shrimp, clams, and potatoes
    Sara S.

    The broth is too watery so the seafood and potatoes were rather bland. Clams and peeled shrimp did not taste fresh. Unpeeled shrimp have veins. I enjoyed the Dungeness, and that birthday lb of snow crab legs is definitely the highlight! Ambience is dark and journey to the restrooms is creepy.

    Bad B.

    Best service always!!! Love a small business vibes cause they fr care about their customers! Food is always bomb. I always get a seafood boil - SPICY GARLIC BUTTER is a must. And their house made hot sauce... if you know, you know! Shrimp, crawfish, snow crab, potatoes & corn was in my bowl and it was so good. I got a French baguette to dip into the bowl! Must try place.

    Currently on day 4 of our seafood food trip and this is the only bad food / experience we've had! we knew the oysters were off, wasn't served on ice, only had 1 and had to send it back. still got sick.. the seafood boil was not worth it, only included half of a crab for $55? shrimp was overcooked. at least they got the corn cooked just right... just go to a nice restaurant and get the crab and oysters there and save yourself an upset stomach.

They did not even balk at substituting the extra veggies.. the swordfish special with the mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus was awesome. Everything was cooked to perfection and our waiter. Torben was the highlight. He had a wonderful, can-do attitude, very accommodating and extremely friendly. He really treated us amazing and his workplace as though restaurant was his taking pride in his job. The desserts that walked by our table made me wish I had only shared a meal with someone. Everything looked incredible. This needs to be put on your top five to try list.

We knew what we'd come for (lobstah!), and assumed we'd order once we made it up to the counter. However, as we waited our turn, one of the employees started shouting at us from behind a cooler. Between the distance, white noise and a slight language barrier, we weren't sure why we were being yelled at. Eventually the woman at the register clarified what we needed: one Maine lobster. How many lbs? We said two. The woman who had shouted at us confirmed our order from her co-worker, and returned with two, 2-lb Maine lobsters: a slight miscommunication. She reached into the bag, grabbed the luckier of the two, and put him back in the tank. The less fortunate one returned home with us, to satisfy my wife's pregnancy cravings! The employees could be a bit friendlier, but the seafood couldn't be much fresher!

Dishes can be shared here, and our server suggested a few specialties for us to try. They also have a tasting menu but we opted for picking our own. We started with grilled oysters that were topped with kimchi butter and garlic. It was incredibly flavorful and perfectly grilled. We had the Little Gems salad, which was refreshing with the greens, radish, and green goddess sauce. The hamachi crudo is their specialty. The raw fish came with grilled pineapple and a bold and pungent fish sauce that meshed all the ingredients together cohesively for one sweet and savory dish! Absolutely recommend it! The lobster roll was absolutely delicious with bread that holds the flavors together. Cooked well and no notes here! The start of the evening was absolutely the cedar plank whole branzino. Wow, I have never been more impressed with a fish. Perfectly cooked with juicy, smoked flavors. 12/10 recommend! For dessert, we ordered an earl grey tea ice cream with blackberry, and peach sorbet.

We came here because I heard they have a great seafood menu and my kids recently started enjoying oysters and other shellfish that used to be "gross". We got here about 15 minutes to opening on a Friday night and there was already a line. We were fortunate to still get a spot outside which worked out because it wasn't too hot and the outdoor space is much more spread out than inside. We ordered a dozen oysters to start. Love their various droppers with infused mignottes and hot sauces. Really made it fun to try out different combos. We also got the cold smoked mussels, the hamachi crudo, grilled oysters, lobster roll, rockfish, and the little gem salad. In order of least favorite to favorite, the little gem salad was good but just not that memorable or spetqcular the way the other dishes were. Next, the grilled oysters were flavorful with the garlic and lime but I wished there was a little more kimchi flavor and overall more sauce given the size of the oysters (they were huge!). The lobster roll was good and I appreciated the different take on a lobster roll but my favorite lobster rolls that really accentuate the lobster flavor and this masked it a little. The hamachi crudo was a surprise. It's a dish you see a lot and I was a little worried about how the pineapple might overtake the rest of the flavors but that didn't happen. The balance between sweet, savory, sour, and crunch from the peanuts was perfect and every bite was really enjoyable. Finally, my favorite was the cold smoked mussels. You never know how fish sauce and tom kha might overwhelm everything but again, their chef understands flavor balance really well. You could taste all the flavors, the smokiness, the slight bitter and sour umami flavors and slight sweetness to round it out. It was outstanding and highly recommend. They also have great cocktails that go well with their dishes. Really enjoyed the experience here and will definitely come back.
