What People Are Saying About Crab Pot Restaurant

In Short – The Crab Pot is a sloppy, communal way to enjoy seafood in Seattle--think family style, sans utensils or plates. Customers tie on bibs, order beers and crack into crabs and shrimp. The menu offers burgers and fish and chips, as well as four "seafeasts" which include Dungeness crab, lobster, oysters and clams, baby red potatoes, corn and spicy andouille sausage. The ingredients are tossed in spices, then piled onto paper-lined tables.

Should be called the CRAP-Pot
by Kelly123
This is the worst Seafood in Seattle. Not only was the seafood dehydrated (the salmon was stuck to the skewers, it was so dry; shrimp was freezed dried looking and gross; everything was overcooked completely cold and nasty) and not edible, the service was non existent and the beer was warm. We actually had to go up to someone to ask for help. We were so bothered by our experience, we called the next morning to talk to the manager, who was not helpful and did not care. He was supposed to return my call, but did not. Furthermore, we wrote a letter (nice, but honest) to the corporate office to explain our dining experience. We never received a response. Obviously, they do not care about their customers. I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone. I am embarassed that our tourists may encounter such nastiness upon their arrival to Seattle should they happen to try it out. We do not get the opportunity to dine out often, especially expensive restaurants - what a disspointment.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Everything

Best. Crab legs. Ever.
by bronschar8
We hesitated going here based on some of the reviews, but we had a great experience and great meal. I ordered the Alaskan King Crab legs. They were huge, fresh and delicious. The portion was so generous I thought I had gotten a double order on accident. The service was not great, but I would go again for sure because the crab legs are the best in Seattle!
- Pros: great food, great value
- Cons: service

Great seaffod and service
by melanie1013
My husband and I went to the crabpot the night before a Seahawks game while on our honeyhoom. So we were there on a Saturday night and even though it was crowded we had a ton of fun. We chatted with a gut here from St. Louis here to see the Rams play the Seahawks. I ordered the whole dungeness crab and I thought it was great. The lobster bisque was a wonderful appetizer and so were the crab cakes. My husband had the halibut and said it was wonderful. We wanted to try the cobbler for dessert but we were too full. We loved the layed back fun atmosphere and are planning to go back when we go to Seattle in November for the Seahawks game, we are planning to make this a yearly quest.
- Pros: loved the waterfront atomosphere
- Cons: the bar could be a little bigger
