We had such a great experience at The Crab Pot and a huge part of that was thanks to Harrison. He was attentive, warm, and incredibly personable from the moment we sat down. Even after what I'm sure was a very busy Valentine's Day the night before, he still managed to show up with such positive energy and an easygoing attitude. It never felt rushed, and he made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. It's clear he genuinely cares about the guest experience. Harrison made our visit feel welcoming and fun, and that kind of service really stands out. We'll definitely be back on a day he's working! Thanks Harrison! read more

Came on a Saturday for lunch and it was empty! Got quick service and their lemonade was really good. The food was also good but comin from LA, I think I could get something similar. Then i found out that they also have a location in Long Beach! Haha read more

Patrons!!! Please be careful on what you purchase. Reason: the tip does not match the actual purchase. The bottom of the receipt tells the story..."before discounts and after taxes." If the restaurant messed up on a dish, they will comp the dish, but it will be considered as a discount. You will be taxed for something you did not eat. Twenty percent SHOULD have been ~$4.00 less than what was shown on the receipt. Not sure if I am coming back anyway. Food had no flavor. read more

This place was nothing short of amazing! We had such a fun time. It was the first time my kids had ever tried crab and dine at the Crab Pot. We enjoyed all of it! Such a chill relaxing environment and the best place for kids to get as messy as they please and eat with their hands! Our server did an excellent job as well by making it extra special for my son's birthday We will definitely be back for more celebrations here. read more

I prefer this location than the downtown one! My friend brought me here and the water view just calms me down. The food was however disappointing as it lack some flavor. Service was great but for view's sake this is a quieter, much aesthetically pleasing than the crowded tourist spots/location! read more

Beautiful Sunset of Bellevue WA on the lake. Good-quality crab for a Dinner Date for 2 or a family. A must-visit when in the 425/206 area.

Sea feast was a treat. Service was great. Tiffany and Amya were so sweet and made the experience fun! This is not formal dining- it's an investment in quality food. The salmon skewers were cooked to perfection. Also one of the best clam chowders I have had in Seattle! Great option if you want to avoid paying parking in Seattle. Will be coming back! read more

I love a place with a unique experience, and The Crab Pot delivers. If you order a "Feast," you get a bib and mallet, and they pour the seafood into the middle of the table on butcher paper! This location has a great view, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We started with drinks, which came out quickly and were freshly made. I had a classic margarita. I then had an order of Oysters Rockefeller, which I enjoyed. They were warm and creamy and perfect to dip bread into. My dad and I ordered "The Clambake" feast for two. It was an assortment of clams, oysters, crabs, and more. The clams, oysters, and mussels were great, but the crab was a little dry - I imagine it's hard to time all the different seafood cooking times in one pot. The feast had plenty of butter, and wearing the bib and eating with my hands was fun. We ordered the Mud Pie for dessert, which was a colossal piece of pie! It was smothered in whipped cream and had crunchy almonds on the outside. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would return to try a different "Feast." read more

The place isn't that busy, fine by me I like it quiet. The handicapped entrance isn't without stairs that I could see. You walk up the ramp and in the door, then you have to go up a few stairs to a table. I had the Louie salad, my friend had calamari and fries. Both were pretty good. I'm extremely picky with my salads. Lots of seafood on the salad and it was pretty fresh. Service was good and everything looked clean. read more

I was alone so I was take to a table in the bar area, bartender said hello and I sat down and given a menu. 15 minutes later no one came to take my order and yes I made Sure my menu was closed sitting on the table and was making eye contact with the employees.

This is the sister location to the one located on the waterfront which is where I dined in the past. The location is under major construction in the parking lot and front of the restaurant. Once you make it inside, the location has a rustic feel and has patio seating out the back which overlooks the water. As far as the service, it leaves quite a bit to be desired. During the time there, heard multiple staff members complaining amongst themselves and often just chatting since the restaurant was not very busy. It definitely was quite the opposite from prior visits to the waterfront location. Often had to wait to flag down another server in order to get drink refills. Now to the food. Ordered The Alaskan, which is the same thing we got in the past, and while the price has gone up, the portion size paled in comparison. Not sure if it was a location difference, or if it has really shrunk that much. I'd have to say 35-40% less, and the seafood was mostly overcooked. Was disappointed to say the least as enjoyed the prior visits. May have to head back to the waterfront location and wait 90+ min. to see if that experience and portion size has changed. I would not visit this location again read more

Group of 4 that came for a Sunday lunch. We got four servings of the royal feast. An amazing seafood boil. Everything was delicious! They supply you with bib, cracker hammer, claw crackers for smaller bits and a small fork to dig out the yumminess. Would recommend to everyone and already want to go back. The drunk bunny rum drink was a great drink! read more

It has been years since we tried the Seattle waterfront location so we used a teenager's birthday as an excuse to check out the Bellevue location as a family. We went during lunch hours on a weekend and the restaurant was pretty much empty. We had made a reservation anyway so we were seated right away and service was friendly and courteous. We ordered The Alaskan and the one that also has lobster. I think we ordered about 7 total and ordered a couple of kids' meals for a group of 10. I think it is a pretty unique experience to be able to have all the food poured on the table in front of you and everybody just digs in. We came here for this particular experience. Yes, you can definitely get better quality seafood and value somewhere else. But I think this unique experience is fun for the whole family. Every minute was a great photo opportunity as everyone using their wooden hammers wearing their bibs. It was a fun dinner overall with a great family-friendly ambiance. read more

A comfy crab boil near the water. Ambiance The Crab Pot is located right on the manmade lake, Lake Bellevue, facing the city. I've never seen is truly packed, but when I come the window seats are highly coveted. Especially if you're coming in the summer, I highly suggest sitting near the windows. All seating is made of wood, which gives the restaurant a pirate ship feel. Very authentic! Food I highly suggest getting a feast, which is essentially a big pot of seafood. They have 5-6 types of feasts to choose from, which vary greatly in terms of offerings between clams, mussels, shrimp, crab, and lobster, along with potatoes and sausage. We decided to get the Alaskan, which had: Dungeness, Snow, and King crab, clams and mussels, and shrimp. It was an amazing experience, and paired great with old bay and butter! As much as I loved all the food, it was a little bit too much food. Luckily, they do provide to-go boxes if you want to take your meal home. Service All the servers are amazing. You will truly feel valued if you come, specifically on Saturdays/Sundays when Vicky is working. All in all, this place is a 5/5 must try! read more

An OK place for Seafood boils, close to downtown Bellevue. This restaurant harkens back to a different time: big dining area, white folks crowding around a table, using mallets to eat seafood/crusteans with their hands, a place that would not be out of place at Fisherman's Wharf in San Fran. ....but with the proliferation of ethnic seafood places, there is a lot more seafood competition for the hardearned dollar. The Crab Pot has three locations: 2 in the Seattle area, but the other in Long Beach and we HAD been to the LBC before, so wanted to take our daughter to this location. It wasn't very crowded at all on a Monday night, and in fact, they had a sign that last seating was only 7 pm. We had a reservation for 6:30, so the benefit was we got very dedicated service (plenty of servers for the number of diners left), and the food was prepared quickly. But the place was pretty empty. It sits on the 'shores' of a man-made 'lake' (more the size of a large pond), but I imagine it would be very pretty on a sunny afternoon. We got a nice window seat. Water was given quickly, and a nice delicious sour dough loaf was given. Two of us ordered the 'The Cove' Seafood feast, which requires a minimum of 2 at $32.95 per person. There was a lot of food: large well cooked red potatoes (good that it wasn't pre-quartered, and it was cooked well through), couple of corn ears, and plenty of head-on shrimp, mussels, and some small clams, along with slices of cajun sausage It's all tossed in just old-bay seasoning. It tasted OK, but the shrimp was of smaller size and came from frozen and I'm guessing the mussels were frozen as well. The sausage was delicious, and the corn was well cooked. My wife ordered the crab mac and cheese ($18.95), and it might have been the best thing we ate. As promised, there was a decent amount of real crab meat in the dish, and the consistency of the sauce was perfect. The final dish was the Salmon Fillet for $29.95. The food was OK, blackened and moist. It came with the same red potatoes and mixed, steamed vegetables. The service was excellent, but the ambience wasn't great (very empty inside), and the food was OK, similar to what you would expect at tourist areas. For the four of us, the bill came out to around $126 (not including tip)...and would have been double that if we had ordered crab or lobstor. With all the seafood inspired restaurants in the Seattle area, there are better choices if willing to travel a bit. read more

Like I'm going to keep coming here. That's a fact we can't ignore. Because I can't say no to the seafood pots, especially when you take the mussels and the sausage and dip them in butter and then put them on top of the bread and eat it all as a sandwich with a bizarre protein butter topping. But I will say that there is no AC and you're not gonna get awesome customer service here. I like the menu! Prices are ok. The food tastes good overall. But I've never been here an had excellent service. Will that deter me from coming here? Nah. I just have to prepare for it. Lol Otherwise location is awesome. Feels like you are on the lake even though you are in the city. Perfect location, lots of parking, always a duck or a goose to see. read more

When I'm way from the family i have to find some local seafood this place has a couple out here and one in California so i knew their ordering was local! Let me get right to it ... YES just go boil style clams with some extra butter sauce basically put me to bed! Could definitely have a better selection of cans but bartender was super nice and attentive. Food was fast but I'm use to clams being a little hotter on the way out. read more

Fun experience with mediocre seafood. It was pretty busy in there, but they managed to get us in quickly and were very nice while we were waiting. The waterside location, nautical decor, and lively environment had us primed for a seafood feast, so we ordered one of their boils. We were so excited when they dumped this heaping of seafood on the table so we could dig in, but the food itself wasn't that enticing. The flavors were flat and most of the seafood was overcooked. It was still a neat place to try and a good place to celebrate a special occasion, but don't expect the most flavorful meal. read more

Service was great. I had a lot of great family memories coming here many times over the years for special occasions. I'll It's been about 10 years since I last came here and the food has severely fallen short. The quality of the seafood was less than Long John Silver's and not fresh. We also found a bug in the muscle and was told it was just part of the muscle. The quantity of food compared to the before was about half. We ordered a feast for two and basically got one bucket enough for just one person. There was a ton of seasoning powder on everything, but all of the food was essentially flavorless and overcooked. Lots of other options out there. Unfortunately I have permanently scratched this place off of my list list. read more

Here we go! We crabbed for 8 hours and got over 20 crabs, buuuuut they were either female or too small. So they got their freedom back, so instead we came here! 1. Service was top notch!!! Waiter was fantastic! I loved the teamwork with their employees, they bring refills, food and clean up tables fast 2. Food was aa good as expected. Nicely seasoned , generously portioned and oh that sourdough bread! 2. b. Our mushrooms were raw, so they replaced them and took it off our tab. Well done. 3. Drinks!!! Strong and pretty! Definitely great experience! Coming back. read more

We've gone to their Seattle's location but this was a nice option too. Not too many people. Easy sitting by the patio. Host wasn't very friendly moving us to where he wanted us to be seated and then rearranging the umbrella not to help us with shadow but to look nice. We were burning :S There were no other guests ‍. But Victoria was something different. Super friendly helped us with a big smile :) I remember a bit more of it but still plenty of food for the shared seafood dishes.

The restaurant is attractive. Our server was great. But, the price for their signature attraction The Ctab Boil was way too expensive. Started at 49+ and went to 89+per person with a 2 person minimum so $100 -180. Okay, so you pay for the novelty. But then the food was not fresh and pretty awful. Not even hot when it arrived. Pretty bad when the best item was the corn. I could eat at a 5 star restaurant for these price! And there wet also those little sugar ants on the table!! Definitely do not go to this restaurant! read more

There was also plenty of clams, mussels, corn, sausage and Potatoes We liked it. But it was $65 per person. read more

Stay Away!!! Years ago the Bellevue crab pot used to be an enjoyable place to dine with excellent service. This place has gone downhill sustainability recently both in food quality, service and extremely rude negative attitude of the staff. My recent visit there was an Hispanic man taking care of my order and he began questioning me about my dead mother's health. Then the manager tried to cheat us by insisting there were no over charges on our bill when there were obvious errors. She had an extremely negative attitude once she realized the mistakes on the bill were their fault she didn't even apologize. Been dining there for 25 years and will never dine there ever again. read more
