We loved our meal at My Brother's Crawfish! We visited specifically for the crawfish, and we ordered it two different ways - in a boil and in an étouffée. Both were flavorful and filling, and satisfied our craving just right. The cornbread served with our meals was also super tasty, with a light and sweet flavor that complimented our dishes well. Our waitress was very kind and attentive and made an effort to ensure our dining experience was a pleasant one. She offered to get us a to-go container for the seafood broth before we even asked, and I'm so glad we took her up on that offer because that broth made a great second meal the next day! We visited during a time they weren't particularly busy (about 4pm), but even then a few tables were occupied. It's clear that this location has more activity into the evening, especially since there is a full bar and they don't close until 10pm most days. We were also pretty happy with the price, considering we've paid more for less food at other restaurants offering seafood boils. We'll definitely be eating here again! read more

I have had at least 15 different restaurants either creole, Cajun or close. This is the worst bland food yet. I ordered the alligator it was over cooked dry tiny bite size for a baby bite for 19$ verry little not worth the price., the dirty rice 7$ about 1/2 cup was white bland no flavor filled with tomatoesand red onion. The etouffee looked and taste like dressing for Thanksgiving but greenish.. I did see tiny craw tails lots of red onion but everything else was not saucy but, just not real good etouffee not 19$ worth. " never again". Sorry to those who like this place hope you get to a real place with good food. read more

We celebrated appreciation/Mardi Gras today, but we didn't get enough food, like they've had in the past! Because it's Mardi Gras, I was hoping for some Jambalaya or Gumbo of some of that good New Orleans stuff. With that said, before heading home, we searched online where nearby we could go for take out. We did have another market, Shell Gas station not far from where we started, but their Jambalaya was like 'soy sauce colored rice'. THAT's not what I'm craving for! We found one further, and they have Seafood Gumbo, so we drove there. I thought it would take faster than 15 mins. but first we have to wait until the waitress, who told us to seat & wait, she'll give us the menu, (we just found the menu from their website), she wasn't free for a long time. The Seafood Gumbo order came with corn bread and rice. I've eaten Southern & Northern style foods in the past, but the cornbread was probably one of the worst I've eaten! Dry like the Sahara Desert, and old! I took one look at the Gumbo, and I wasn't sure what it was on top, it freaked me out! It was probably one of the largest clam, but I like mine in bite size pieces, not one as big as my tongue. For awhile there, I thought it was a body of a squid, but I like mine toasted, crispy or fried. There's shrimp, and clams with shells. The taste was so-so, hubby did liked it, so he'll eat all of my portion. I did took a couple of spoonfuls, but that's it! (For now, I'm done craving for Gumbo soup!, Corn bread, too!) The staff that was helping us, was cordial, so I give her points for that! read more

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. read more

A member of my family had a hankering for frogs legs and gator, so off we went. Plenty of parking, and no wait for a table a little after 5 on a blustery Tuesday. The menu is large, with enough options to please just about everyone. She got her frogs and gator, and we had hush puppies, a po' boy, and étouffée. Everything was very good. Wasn't the most amazing étouffée I've eaten, but it was tasty, and I really enjoyed the hush puppies. Serving sizes were reasonable. Decor is comfortable. Not at all fancy, but it feels like the kind of place you could hang out for a while. The service was genuinely friendly and very helpful without hovering. I really appreciated it. read more

The food and drinks at MBC are always Great! I love their boils & they have special deals from time to time.

We visited My Brother's Crawfish last night and had a really disappointing experience. We placed our order at 7:00pm, and by 8:05pm we still hadn't received any food. When we asked our waitress for an update, she told us the order wasn't ready and couldn't say how much longer it would take. The only explanation given was that they had a large group before us. Waiting over an hour with no communication or timeline is not acceptable at any restaurant. We were starving and eventually asked if we could cancel our order. The waitress said yes because the kitchen hadn't even started it yet -- meaning we could've easily been waiting another hour. If a restaurant can't staff its kitchen properly to handle the volume, it really impacts the customer experience. Unfortunately, we left without eating and won't be returning. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

My Brother's Crawfish - Seafood boil - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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. read more

The food was good. We got the seafood boil but the portion was small for the price of the boil.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I drove across town to visit My Brother's Crawfish for my birthday, and it was well worth it. I started with the calamari, which was crispy and delicious. I loved the inclusion of sliced jalapeños. Then it was time for the main event, which was a seafood boil with snow crab legs and medium broth. The sauce was an exquisite blend of spiciness, garlic, and citrus, and the crab legs were succulent and cooked to perfection. I've had multiple seafood boils before, but nothing has ever come close to this level of flavor. What also really impressed me was the attentive service. My server suggested ordering a bread roll to savor every last drop of that delectable broth, and it was a genius move. By the end of the meal, I couldn't stop raving about the food, and the server even shared some fantastic food recommendations. While the atmosphere had kind of a dive bar vibe, which wasn't exactly what I anticipated, it didn't detract from the incredible meal and service. The only suggestion I have is to please please please provide gloves and bibs. Those boils get messsssy! Highly recommend to all seafood lovers! read more

The crawfish were buried in the mild sauce and it kept the crawfish hot and moist. The sauce is on the sweeter side but with the squeezes of lemon, it was the perfect balance of sweet, savory and buttery garlicky. The mushrooms were really good and I like how they kept them whole because it retains a lot of moisture and the mushrooms were very juicy. The oysters were pretty fresh as well. I'd come back. read more

We went Saturday at 602pm. The two servers never stood up to greet us and seemed to be annoyed that 4 adults and a 7 year old was there. I had to ask to order and still waited 10 minutes to do so. We ordered 2lbs of clams, 1 lb shrimp and 2 lbs of snow crab with sausage and corn. We got no sausauges and got little clams to shrimp. When I told one server who had to stand up, she said oops. There was no consideration given except a cup of 3 pieces of saugage. The service alone was bad with the auto tip because we had 5 pax. We try to visit once a year when we visit pdx, but we can live with zero more. FYI, Boiling Point down the road is cheaper with better service and flavor. read more

An updated review. They have daily specials, so follow them on instagram to see what they offer. This time I was able to snag the 4.99 first drink & 19.99 snow crab for lady special. Their Bloody Mary is fire, btw. Prob one of my top 3's. It was spicy, but not too much. This place was busy on a Wednesday so food took a bit longer. Overall great quality food. I recommend adding garlic sauce into your seafood boil sauce. Makes it so much more delicious. read more

I am a big fan of their seafood boil spicy sauce! It's great with their warmed french roll (a must get!). For a party of 3, we got the salt and pepper calamari, a pound of shrimp boil with garlic butter (with sausage, corn and white mushrooms add ons), and a pound of fresh crawfish boil with spicy sauce (with sausage, corn and french rolls add ons). The portion is big so it was well enough for 3 people. The salt and pepper calamari was very good since the calamari is fried to perfection with the perfect batter ratio. It was well seasoned, crispy and not soggy. The seafood boil came out steaming hot and the flavor is on point! The seafood tasted fresh and the add ons are all delicious. Staff are very nice but they were all so busy so service was a bit slow. read more

It's been over 3 years since we came here and I'm still mad and still tell anyone any time the subject comes up. So I figured if I was going to review anyplace it should be this place. We went there and were pretty excited to go. This place was recommended so many times and now we were going. It was unbelievable Really We waited and waited and waited. We saw people who came in an HOUR after us get seated. Did I want to leave? Almost immediately after realizing they were purposefully skipping us. But my husband was bound and determined to eat here. Overall, we were told 15 more minutes like 4 times. We waited to be seated for over two hours. Sounds insane right? It was. Like why stay? To this day the mention of this place will spark arguments between spouses, parent/child, siblings. Finally we were told our table was ready, and I kid you not, we had to wait...by the door with customers staring wondering what was going on, for another 15 minutes. Waitstaff were coming up asking what we needed and acting all confused about our table. Table? I don't know if theres a ready table? Let me check.... Finally, we get seated, the server and waitress seemed both confused about what was going on and acted like we were a hassle. Now let me be honest, we were mad. Everything so far was crazy and ridiculous. But we weren't rude or unpleasant. We both worked in food service and that would've been just beyond . Then...the food was terrible. Ok maybe not terrible, but it had end of the night vibes going on. I wanted to enjoy it, especially given the wait. But it just wasn't good. Ive heard a lot of great things about this place. So i assume it was an off night? But over two hours for a table? Numerous people passing us and seated earlier? Whats that about? Why were the waitstaff behaving like that? The mysteries persist. Everyone that was there still remembers this as the single worst restaurant experience any one of us has ever had. none of us will ever go back and like I said earlier...we tell everyone, it makes a crazy story. read more

TLDL: Amazing experience...amazing everything. Very very happy. Probably the most memorable dinner experience I have had. My wife took me for my 50th and I'm so glad she did. When we pulled up my wife was a bit sketchy about the outside and asked if I had checked out the reviews. "Nope. We're going regardless." The inside is quite nice. Food was amazing. Oyster shooters were big, Crawfish etouffee...yummy. Crab boil with corn on the cob, potatoes and mushrooms....effing amazing. Seafood gumbo...I want more! And the drinks. They had booze in them! I am so over paying $12 for drinks that are small or all juice. And it was Thirsty Thursday. $5.00 Long Islands and $5.00 shots of Henessy. And the best part was our server, Angela. She was so nice, energetic, thoughtful and fun! Great recommendations. Near the end after my wife had been removing meat from the crablegs for me she told Angela she was about done and then to the bathroom to wash up. (her hands were a mess). Angela told her to stay in her seat and that she'd take care of her. Angela brought out a bowl of warm water with lemon slices and mint. My wife was very happy. Also, want to give a shoutout to Kate, who was also super cool, and the busser guy who was also checking on table's water without interrupting. We will become regulars!!! If anything just stopping in on Thirsty Thursday for drinks and oyster shooters. read more

First let me say I heard a lot about this place so I was excited. Love Cajun food. Upon walking in we were greeted and pointed to a booth. The place had cobwebs all over the ceiling. Not a great start. We ordered lobster lollipops at nearly $21 a piece and to say not good. The dip was delicious but they didn't clean the lobster. The vein was still there with the "poop" in it. The Blacken Po Boy was not great and the crawfish etouffee was bland. So after nearly $100 I felt cheated. Won't be back. read more

Food was okay. Food was too mild for a seafood boil. Service was good. Ambience wasn't that great.

Used to come here every week. Sadly, seafood quality has drastically fallen over the last 2 years. We used to see the gorgeous crabs.... Now you're lucky if you have one with all its arms still attached After my 4th food poisoning in a 2 month period, I finally gave up. I came to this realization after a 2 hour period where I was laying in my bathroom floor thinking I was going to die.

This was my first time trying seafood boil and I really enjoyed it! We ordered one pound of clams, crawfish and shrimp with corn and sausage. The waitress recommended 1-1.5 pounds per person and I think that was a good amount. The sides were overpriced in my opinion. I would skip the corn next time because it was a little dry. The boil alone was $50 so not bad for what you get. Kind of a pricey meal but it's also not a meal you get everyday so I think it's fairly priced. Be sure to check out their Instagram because they do post deals there. I was expecting a stronger cajun flavor and more spice because we did order the hottest level. This one was more tomato-y. I recommend the clams and shrimp because it absorbs the boil very well. The crawfish had little meat to it. Overall, this place was good but nothing wow. I'd rate it a 3.5/5. read more

A fun place to get a seafood boil. Our server was really fun and friendly. She took our order and mentioned that it was exactly what they were featuring as their special IG deal going on that week. We ordered a lb each of clams, head off shrimp, crawfish, and added lb of snow crab. They forgot to include the crawfish, but the server was able to fix it and add the crawfish in our bowl when it was done cooking. The broth was spicy and a bit tangy. The seafood was good, potatoes was well cooked, the corn was good as well but a tad dry and overcooked. We were still hungry after finishing so we ordered another 2 lbs of shrimp and 1 lb of crawfish. The second batch had a more flavorful sauce even though we ordered the same kind. They came out with head on shrimp even though we ordered head off, but still tasted great. The decor is nothing to write home about but you won't even notice it when you're elbows deep in your seafood boil. read more
