Update: Seems like this place has reached rock bottom in regards to cleanliness and health safety. If you check King County Health Dept, they always failed the routine inspections with multiple (if not all) violations and were forced to close until they meet requirements again ??. I would avoid this place at all cost.

This is by far the best crawfish restaurant in the Seattle area. You choose what seafood you want and the sauce it comes in. Super flavorful and if you choose spicy it’s actually spicy. They also have a lot of fried seafood which was pretty crunchy and well fried - not too oily.

Based on a referral I decided to check this place out. The fried foods were delicious! Fried catfish, fried shrimp, sweet potato fries calamari rings. We ordered a snow crab, clams, shrimp Seafood boil with corn, sausage, and potatoes. Several of the items were cold so we sent it back . When it came back it was burnt . This place is rather expensive but the service was good. I would have liked it if our food was not overcooked. We'll say it was extremely busy. The atmosphere is nice but the bathroom is not. I may try again

My husband and I came in here for the first time and we loved it. We got invited from one of our friends for dinner, that's how we heard about this place. You will get a good portion amount of food. The food here is delicious so it's worth the wait. Also, there's a bar. I really loved the bar because their menu doesn't have mojito on it. The bartender was able to make it anyways since they have the drinks to mix it with. I was extremely happy. I would recommend to come in early or before nighttime because they can get crazy busy. It's really a good place to go.

Another White Center gem! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is fun and lively. There is a full bar, lots of beers (as stated on the menu). This is some of the best Cajun food I have had on the west coast. The boils are amazing! You can also get fried rice. Love it and definitely going back for more.

Instead of the boils, we got the crawfish etouffee & rice with the Louisiana style chicken. Both were great!! We will be back!Couldn't decide on a drink and got the most popular cocktail, which was a strawberry margarita. It was rather sweet but came in a good sized glass for $12.

a great place to eat and the service is great

Fun staff, great crab!!! Definitely will be back!

My wife told me about this place and I finally went there with her this afternoon. Excellent Cajun food, and I am actually from Louisiana. We each ordered two pounds of crawfish (crawfish tend to be a bit small this time of year)and one pound of clams. The clam chowder is the best I've ever had and the chicken gizzards were delicious as well. Give it a shot, you'll be happy you did.

This place was recommended to me by two of my friends. I was very excited to finally check it out. We ordered the fried pickles to start (extremely salty but good) and a boil including 1 lb each of crawfish, snow crab legs, shrimp, & clams. We tried the House sauce since it was our first time there, and got a level 3* spice. For me this spice was not very spicy at all but my friend said it was spicy for him so maybe if you are sensitive to spice this is a good level for you. We also got the french bread because I saw in another review that it is a must and they were absolutely correct. Don't miss out on the opportunity to dip the bread in the sauce!I have to knock off a star because they didn't give us sausage with our boil and they also forgot to give us the snow crab legs. I asked about the crab legs and they brought out some for us about 10 minutes later. Oh and they also didn't give us bibs or plates like the tables around us which was a little strange as well.Overall, I would definitely eat here again with the caveat that my order may not come out exactly correct.
