This was my 1st time here but I would definitely be going back! The food was great and I loved how even though it was just aching seasoning the food didn't have that over powering sea salt taste that some places have. We got 2 of the big orders and that fed 5 of us. Definitely worth the money.

I went here for my birthday. Crowded when I arrived, but wait time not too long. I had a really good time. The food was delicious. I ordered King crab and a couple of other things...too many to name. I liked everything! I definitely want to come back again. I sat outside next to the water. The view was beautiful. The servers were very attentive and awesome.

I really enjoyed the crab pot. It's been many years since I've been here and took advantage of the Alaska feast which is a big bowl of a variety of shellfish poured out on your table.

Great tourist attraction or spot for group to eat when in town. Great selection of on the table no fork food with fingers seafood. Most of their seafood boils come for meal for two so find a partner and get ready to get messy. Actually I had my cute adult bib on but somehow the waitress dumped the bucket of seafood on the table and my luck the lobster took a bad roll and knocked the hot butter cup all over my pants. She quickly got rag with club soda to help but at that point they were already soaked deep. Once you think you've ate all you can from what was in the bucket from rhe seafood, potatoes & corn, save room for dessert as they have great sharable size sweets.

Honestly had higher expectations. Overall it was good, just missed on a few things.App was crab cakes: good amount of crab, sauce was very good with it. Entree was scallops with veggies and potatoes: scallops were spot on (most important), but the veggies and potatoes were complete throwaways. Dessert was key lime cheesecake: AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. It was awful in every way.

Went to The Crab Pot Restaurant for some sea food goodness. Our group ordered two steamed pots. Before our order arrived, they covered the table with paper and gave us bibs to cover ourselves before the carnage. It came out hot and fresh with a side of melted butter. The pots included steamed crab, shrimp, clams, mussels, sausage, potatoes and corn cobs. It was all sprinkled with their signature seasoning. Delicious. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable on the beer menu. We recommend this establishment to all families.

We have been to this restaurant previously and had a really great time. This time (Saturday 6pm) we were disappointed. We waited double the estimated time to get seated, which is understandable considering the pandemic and staff shortages everywhere. While the food was still tasty, it also took 50+ minutes to get served. We were very very hungry. We kept seeing other tables get served even though they had been seated after us. Perhaps they lost our table's ticket in the kitchen? What really bothered me was that my meal was significantly under sized ( I had gotten this same entree before, the crab boil, so I know how much food to expect and to know I was shorted. ) After the amount of time we had already waited, plus the fact that is was past closing time and the staff was focused on cleaning up, all I wanted was to eat so my sister ended up sharing her fish with me. Bottom line is, food is great. Pricey but good. So I recommend others to go there early afternoon because quality of service seems to decline past 6pm
