If you're looking for delicious crabs and seafood in Downtown Seattle, this is your place! TONS OF CRABS!!! Plus lots of local beer and great cocktails! Graham was PHENOMENAL on our first visit! Great recommendations and even better service! The second round, I was sat at a back table and left for over 10 minutes with zero service, so unfortunately I didn't stay for more of the food...huge miss on the service side, especially when you have great waiters like Graham. read more

The Crab Pot - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was the first place we came to eat after flying into Seattle. What a disappointment. We ordered crab cakes as an appetizer it was the only things that was good. The rest of the food had no seasoning and the corn and potatoes were not cooked. With regards to the service we ordered soup and they never brought it. Our waitress barely came to check on us and she didn't even realize we never got the chowder. We had to point it out when she brought us our bill and she had charged us for it. I wouldn't recommend coming to eat here, prices are extremely high for terrible food. Not worth it. read more

Terrible service, terrible food, and terrible experience overall. Food came cold. Rice was presented (side) in a huge bowl with a sloppy half scoop looking portion. Rice was hard and cold. Crab, shrimp, and sausage way way way overcooked, and cold. Server said it's because they have a new shrimp supplier and "that's the reason they suck". Not busy and had to ask for refills on drinks multiple times before being fulfilled. Family visiting from an area without fresh seafood says there's better seafood boil where they live. Service was sloppy, server was rude, food was cold and overcooked, and the bill came out to $240 for 3 people with an included, forced, undeserved service charge on the bill. DO NOT COME HERE. Drive farther from the ferry for a cheaper and better experience. Only positive about the place is their location, nothing else. read more

The Crab Pot is located near Pier 56 in Seattle and offers spacious indoor seating and waterside outdoor seating. We opted for outside and enjoyed the boat views. I had the dungeness crab boil and it was fun putting on a bib and digging in! The flavors, however, were lackluster. The seasoning was very bland and the crab legs were overcooked and looked purple and dry. My mom had the fried seafood platter and noted that the salmon was extremely dry as well. Service was lackluster and our waitress seemed very bothered by each simple request. Great concept, poor execution. read more

I was really looking forward to getting to Seattle and eating some fresh seafood. But dining at this location started off bad and we should have left and went elsewhere. First of all the hostess sat someone before us and they had just arrived and we had been waiting for 12-15 minutes. Next, once we were sat it took approximately 10 minutes before we were read more

This place was great! It feels like the quintessential seafood restaurant. Very family friendly. Our server was great and very helpful when choosing items. Do not let the price scare you the amount of food you get is more than enough to take some home. We ordered the appetizers as well and man were we full. When we go back to Seattle we are heading here first! read more

A little on the pricier side for what you get, but to be expected as it is located in the middle of a tourist attraction area. I would come back just for the meal I had! GLOW: -They have indoor and outdoor seating. I believe some areas have a more appealing view than others -The Alaskan salmon entree was delicious! Perfectly grilled. The sides were basic -Service was friendly and efficient GROWS: -Please communicate allergens with the server. Not all ingredients are clearly listed on the menu... for instance their stuffed crab comes with corn, which I wouldn't expect to be in a crab mix. read more

The Crab Pot! Very busy touristy spot with nice views of the water since it's right along the pier. Large establishment with hundreds of tables, and I came when the weather was good so the outdoor seating was nice :) Loved the complimentary bread with butter. Then we got "The Westport" for $56.95 per person. I repeat.. that price you see on the menu is *per person* (so they're supposed to add portions accordingly). And we did receive a good portion of steamed seafood - Dungeness Crab, Snow Crab, Shrimp, Clams & Mussels, Andouille Sausage, Corn on the Cob, and Red Potatoes. Good spices on everything. It's expensive but in the end we got a good portion of fresh seafood, and being able to smash crab legs with a mallet is a fun time for everyone. read more

From reading though the reviews on here, it seems that dining here is either a hit or miss. Yes, we all know this place and this are are tourist traps, and the prices reflect that, but no, the food is not bad at all, and we are willing to pay for good seafood....specifically, their steamed/boiled crab legs, shrimp, mussels, clams, etc., which is exactly what we were looking for. I think the only thing that can be considered a bit deceiving is the menu price for the seafood "feasts"....because, at a quick glance, we thought the Alaskan Feast was $67.95 for the order, but upon more careful look at the menu, no, it is $67.95 per person. Like I said, not a problem for us if the food is good. So, we went ahead and order the Alaskan Feast for 2 because we knew we wanted all three of our favorite crabs.....Alaskan king crab, Dungeness crab, and snow crab.....then also coming with it were the head-on shrimp in the shell, steamed clams, and Pacific mussels......all steamed with andouille sausage, corn on the cob, and red potatoes. And for full enjoyment, the entire bag of this seafood feast was poured right onto our table top for us to go at at our gastronomical leisure :) Note that the seafood feasts are normally steamed with their house spices, but we wanted just plain and simple steamed seafood without the spices....which our very nice and friendly server arranged. The seafood came steaming hot, so fresh, and so perfectly cooked. The andouille sausage, corn on the cob, and red potatoes gave the seafood such a wonderful mild and not salty flavor that didn't overwhelm the taste of fresh seafood. We were also given some drawn butter on the side for dipping of the seafood and.....OMG....heaven! And that corn.....so fresh, firm/crunchy, and absolutely d'lish.....kind of addictive actually. Yea, it was a bit of work hammering to crack the crab shells, but it's all part of the fun experience, and we were given bibs to wear to protect our clothing.....of course, I still got crab juices splashed all over my face. All I can say is that it was fun, it was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed our seafood feast! .....service was very good too.....but as you would expect in such a touristy place, it was pretty crowded, but we managed to get a window seat (vs inside) where it was a little less crowded and busy. In fact, we enjoyed everything so much that we decided to order another pound each of shrimp and mussels....they were OH SO GOOD, but were different from those we got with the feast....the shrimp came headless, and the mussels came with a different preparation......all good though. Other than the busy crowd here, my wife and I totally enjoyed our dining experience with exactly the crabs we were looking, just the way we liked them prepared, and just the way we liked to eat them......messily!!! :) read more

We went on a late cruise and needed something to eat before heading to the hotel and this looked interesting so we decided to try it. Lots of room inside and we were able to get a seat looking out at the water. There were four of us and we ordered crab cakes, a salad. fish and chips and clam chowder and split it so we could all taste something. Some of us liked the food, others just thought it was okay. Ryan, our server, was good and helpful as we had to put some things on the side (for example anything with dairy), and he was helpful. We were one of 3 tables as the restaurant closes at 9, and we stayed until about 9:30 with no problem. read more

I came here on a recommendation and figured out this was tourist trap. Food I give 1 star. There were three of us and we ordered the Westport feast and it was sooooo bland. There was some kind of seasoning on the potatoes but it seemed like there was no salt. There was probably 1-1.5 lbs of crab legs for three people, entirely too much corn, probably about four heads of corn, and way too much shrimp. This felt more like a shrimp boil than a crab boil. The quality of the food did not warrant the price. Service was fair but nothing special. I would not recommend this place. I cannot not recommend this place with a straight face, I get the sense that this place is resting on it's great location rather than the quality of their food. read more

I think I'd describe this as touristy but good. Not like that place in Amarillo that offers the meal free if you can eat a 5 lb steak, that place is touristy with bland food. This is touristy with decent food.

Six of us went to the crab pot for a special occasion where we needed a little extra time at our table. Not only was the food, absolutely outstanding and affordable, but the server was excellent. It had sensing when we needed a little more time and when it was appropriate to Check in with us. Our group had the salmon chowder, the clam chowder, the fish and chips, the salmon and chips and the crabcakes. Every single item was perfectly served at the right temperature and was delicious. We will come back again and again. Highly recommend. read more

I stopped by for drinks and a bite to eat after a long and hot day exploring the waterfront and nearby sights. I sat by the bar and was greeted by Jordi, who provided exceptional service. Super friendly and offered menu recommendations. I enjoyed my Salmon BLT and chilled cocktails. The overall ambiance is cozy and comfortable with plenty of good options at reasonable price points. I look forward to visiting again in the near future. It's worth the trip if you're visiting Seattle - I do recommend. read more

This was not a great experience. The server didn't know basic questions about the menu. For example, when we asked how large the tacos were, she shrugged her shoulders and said she didn't know (in a tone that sounded snotty as all get out. The food was subpar at best. I asked for medium rare on the burger and I got a dried out puck. The bun was the best tasting part. The shrimp tacos were meh at best. They came with stale chips and salsa that tasted like Pace right from the jar (not hood if you haven't had Pace. The server never got me the refill I wanted on my drink. The hardest working person was the guy refilling the water and putting out table cloths. He was awesome! Promote him! Lousy service, lousy food, great location! read more

My Relationship With the Crab Pot: It's Complicated (But Mostly With Seafood and Hammers) Look, I'm not going to lie. Walking into the Crab Pot is like willingly entering a seafood-themed Frat party. It's loud, it's messy, and there's a distinct possibility you'll end up wearing more crab juice than actual clothes. But that's the beauty of it! Forget your dainty forks and delicate napkins. This is primal eating at its finest. They dump a steaming pile of crustaceans, potatoes, corn, and clams RIGHT ONTO YOUR TABLE. No plates, no utensils (unless you count the flimsy bib and the mighty CRAB HAMMER). You're essentially encouraged to regress back to a state of joyful, messy infancy where the only goal is to annihilate delicious seafood. I went with a group of friends, and let's just say our table looked like a crime scene orchestrated by a hungry cephalopod. Shells were flying, butter was dripping, and laughter was echoing. We were a band of merry marauders, united by our shared love of seafood and the cathartic release of smashing things with a hammer. The food itself? Let's be honest, it's not Michelin-star quality. But it's fresh, it's plentiful, and it's cooked well. Plus, the pure, unadulterated joy of cracking open a crab leg with your bare hands just elevates the whole experience. For the landlubbers, they also make a mean hamburger or chicken sammich Pros: * Crab Hammer Therapy: Forget your therapist, just walk in or book a reservation at the Crab Pot and whack some crabs. It's cheaper and tastier. * Bib Couture: Embrace the absurdity of the bib. It's your shield against the impending seafood splatter. Wear it with pride! * Bonding Experience: Nothing brings people closer together than shared trauma...I mean, shared enjoyment of a massive seafood dump. * Photo Ops Galore: You KNOW you're gonna take a picture covered in crab juice. Don't deny it. Embrace the chaos! Cons: * Dry Cleaning Bills: Invest in some Shout stain remover. You'll need it. * The Smell: You will smell like the sea for at least 24 hours afterwards. Consider it a badge of honor. * Sudden Hammer-Related Injuries: Use caution! You're wielding a weapon! Aim for the crab, not your friend's finger. * You leave the hammer behind when you go. Why don't they sell them?? Overall: The Crab Pot is not for the faint of heart, nor is it for those who prefer a quiet, elegant dining experience. But if you're looking for a fun, messy, and memorable meal that will leave you giggling, feeling full (and slightly sticky), then grab a hammer and dive in! Just be prepared to unleash your inner barbarian. You won't regret it. (Maybe. Unless you accidentally hammer your own thumb- ouch! read more

More like two stars for the food but - the interior had charming waterfront vibes and the staff was nice. Crab Toast ($10) - 3 large slices of sourdough bread smothered in come cream - cheese dip maybe with artichokes. Sprinkled with cheese and toasted. Skeptical as to if there was even crab in this lol. Burger ($10.95) - extremely salty, very thin patty with a few pieces of iceberg lettuce and raw onion on a bun, all drowning in mayo. Definitely would order different items if I was to come again. read more

Food- Acceptable. Nothing special but a fun eating experience that's hands on Initial Service & Management - We were seated in a crowded section of the restaurant while other sections were still empty. While sitting at our table, another guest knocked one of our party members completely out of their chair. That same guest then loudly threatened physical assault twice -- something the entire section heard. Management may not have seen the exact moment it happened, but they clearly oversaw the commotion and still failed to intervene or remove the aggressor. Instead, their only response was to move us, the victims, as if we were at fault. Absolutely unprofessional, unsafe, and unacceptable. Updated service- New waiter we got was amazing and took care of us well. We enjoyed our time but it did not fully offset the initial negative experience. Warning: This restaurant does not take guest safety seriously. If you dine here, know that management will not protect you if another guest becomes aggressive or violent. read more

Atmosphere was great for tourists, but the food itself was not exciting. Definitely the smallest portion of a crab boil I've ever seen for that price - even in Seattle. The crab and the salmon was good - but incredibly small portions that we were still hungry when we left. This is just a tourist spot and so they really get everyone with high prices. As a local - I won't be returning, but everything was fresh for sure and the service was super nice and friendly. Also - provide your servers with pens!!!! Why do they have to buy their own?!?? read more

Rude server throughout our entire dining experience. Flat beer, no apology offered when we asked if that was right and could have a new pour. Fish & chips were so oily I put my pieces on a napkin before eating. The crab & shrimp dip was actually really good, but not sure the rest was worth it. This place is super busy and seems like they're just doing the bare minimum to bring food out to you and get you to move on. Food was alright but service was really a bummer. read more

Fun place to for the experience. The restaurant was had about a 1hr wait time on a Thursday evening, but the staff was accommodating to my party of 8. I ordered the fish & chips - slightly disappointing for its stale fries, dry fish, and heavy dependence on tartar sauce for taste. The Westport was a nice shareable meal for 2 people. Fair mix of corn, potatoes, clams, mussels, and crab, and could have used more seasoning. The pot doesn't come close to cajun or southern boils, but does a fair job. read more

Left a review years ago....Great experience. This time, not good. I dont know what's happened to customer service in general but hostess/experience are barley good amd I have worked as a server (20+ yes ago). Do not order the clam strips, tasteless, beyond bland, even being self battered at restaurant. Sat at bar to avoid any wait, shots poured generously, yay! But when we asked to be seated were asked to wait after folks that were behind us. For the experience and right on the water you'll be pleased I'm sure but agon do not waste money on clamstrips or McDonald's like fries. There are lots of restaurants to choose from. Try another place please for your own sake. read more

I feel like a lot of people always want to try out crab pot and I'm no exception. We went for a little date there but honestly it was pretty mid. It's mainly veggies and clams there's not a lot of crab. The crab that was there had a lot of black holes through it and a lot of the clams were shut meaning they weren't fully cooked since clams open once they're cooked. It was nice to experience it once but I won't come again. read more

The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive but the food was extremely underwhelming and not worth the price you pay. My wife and I both had a boil of some sort consisting of various crabs and lobster with shrimp potatoes and corn and everything was cooked so poorly. All the crab and lobster was rubbery it was so over cooked basically inedible the shrimp was mushy and the potatoes were still raw the only thing that was somewhat cooked decently was the corn but who cares about corn when you spend $180 you except food to meet a certain standard but you wont get that here. My recommendation is order a drink and go eat anywhere else. read more

3/30/26. The food was good, as was the service. However, the drinks (beer and mixed) seemed to be watered down to the point that the beer was almost tasteless and the mixed drinks needed an added shot to even notice any taste or content. Strike One. Strike Two came when I read in the fine print on the menu that there was a 4% surcharge added to the bill, no explanation as to what it was for, except that it was not a gratuity. What is that about? read more
