The Crab Pot Seattle - Seattle (WA)

4 /5 Indiana Lanzas: I came here for dinner on Wednesday night and had a great time. I tried the sourdough and butter, salmon chowder, crab stuffed mushroom and crab scampi. Everything was delicious. The sourdough tasted amazing and fresh. The salmon chowder was delicious as well and it was full of vegetables. The crab stuffed mushroom mushroom was cheesy and tasty. Lastly, the crab scampi was one of the most delicious pasta. To drink, I tried the white sangria, which was very refreshing. The restaurant was located near the ferry in a very touristy spot but it is evident that it’s very popular seeing how full it was. The service was good, although there was some confusion about an order on the table. However; when she learned that I was sharing the pasta, she offered to serve it in two plates, which made the sharing easier. The decoration in the restaurant makes it unique and they have humorous souvenirs. If you’re in Seattle, this is definitely one of the restaurants to try.

4 /5 Michelle Mariano: Visited family in Seattle on a Sunday and this place was the only one that was left open in tourist area until 9 PM. It did not disappoint in having really good seafood. The portions were generous, and the staff is really nice. My dad is handicapped and they made sure to get us a good table for him to sit with his scooter. Our whole party was satisfied with our food. I recommend : Halibut tacos Scampi Fish and chips The food was very fresh and I love the theme. Great place for tourist to come and enjoy the fresh Washington seafood and views.

3 /5 Maui World Travelers: Friends of ours recommended this place. I do appreciate them, really. ATMOSPHERE: Located in the Miners Landing mall. Its a huge restaurant with indoor and enclosed outdoor seating. The only view is from the outdoor-like seating of the service sidewalk, and a moored ship bobbing up and down in its slip. FOOD: Sourdough Bread The standard free stuff. Came to the table hot, crunchy & chewy. Delicious! Alaskan Combo King, dungeness, and snow crab legs, head-on shrimp, clams, mussels, andouille sausage, corn on the cob and red potatoes steamed with a very mild salt flavor and paprika. The crabs were good, but the king tasted the best. The clams were super tiny and tasted okay. The shrimp and andouille sausages had no flavor. Were not a fan of mussels so they went uneaten (and you cant substitute.) The corn was good and there were way too many potatoes. Comes with warm butter for dipping. They have a minimum of 2 orders for all combos. The bucket of food gets dumped onto your table then the bucket is placed on the floor for your trash. Youre given a wooden board, mallet, and bib to engage in your mission. SERVICE: We walked in without a reservation but got seated immediately. Our male server was friendly and pretty attentive. OVERALL: Im coming to the realization that Im over the table-dumping messiness, table-pounding, and sub-par seafood accompaniments like andouille sausage, mussels, and potatoes, in order to get my seafood fix on. From now on, itll be strictly crab on a plate, and a shell cracker. Thank you.

3 /5 Ron Wright: We had high hopes for The Crab Pot and spent around $200 for our visit. The service was truly excellent. Warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite live up to the experience. Everything looked great, but the flavor was surprisingly mild, like they forgot the seasoning altogether. For a seafood spot, we expected a bit more punch. The portions also felt a little light for the price. We love trying new places, and while we appreciated the atmosphere and staff, the food just didn’t wow us this time.

3 /5 Bree Miller: Sort of a tourist trap… I feel like it was decent but definitely not the best choice on the pier. The fried seafood platter I had was not very good, the breading was bland and some of the fish did not taste fresh at all. The clam chowder was the only thing that I would eat again. The service was good though.
