I saw this place on Google a while back and saved it for my next pay check. I'm glad I decided to come back and see how it's like, boy it's delicious. They also provide a bib, gloves, napkins, and crab cracking utensils if you're eating crab.I ordered a half dozen oyster on the half shell, big easy rice (rice with big easy sauce), and whole Dungeness crab with 1lb manilla clams.Oysters tasted fresh and salty, as they should be and I added some lime on top.Big easy rice was very flavorful, a little spice but not too much, very garlicky (which I love), excellent when mixed with your boil choice, for me the crab meat and clams.Dungeness crab was cooked to perfection, succulent and tender. I've missed eating crab since I moved and this place filled that missing piece.The clams were also delicious, juicy and covered in the sauce that I picked (big easy) each piece was practically covered in ground garlic pieces and other parts of the sauce.At the end of your meal they give you a wrapped up warm towel you can use to wipe down your hands if they did get dirty. Before you leave they let you take a spin on a wheel. This wheel as all sorts of offers, I got complimentary 1lb manilla clams for my next visit when I dine in. That works out perfectly.If I had anything bad to say is that I wish it were closer to where I live in Everett. Other than that, I really have no problem.This is a great place to come with a group of your friends or family though. Though depending on what and how much you decide to get you might want to split the bill between your folks.I'll definitely be coming back later to redeem my prize from the wheel (which, spinning the wheel is totally free after you eat.) They have a 20% added service charge, but it's all worth it with how great the food tastes.

The best place to have seafood in Seattle so far. Super friendly staff. Great food. Good price. Can't wait to come back again.

Love, love, love this place. Yes, a cajun place in the middle of the International District. When you walk in it's got the look of a chain seafood place - cute but goofy. My friends I always get pretty much the same thing. We ordered a sample platter to shared. And we each ordered our own canoe or seafoods. I the what king sauce. It’s have the most favored. We also finished the night with the ice cream dessert and beignets. The waitstaff are terrific, too. We get there at least once a month for our Seafood fix. It's not fancy, but the prices are right and we always leave with a smile on our faces.

Came here for Seattle Restaurant Week and had the 3-Course special. Which included three choices of an appetizer, entrè and dessert. My friends has the lobster and I had the Crab. I loved the choice of sauces and the amount of garlic butter!! Be prepared to eat messy!! Wear dark clothing.I wish they had wet wipes to clean your hands before you dig into your meal. Also the drinks felt a little watered-down.

Seafood was fresh. Tasted sweet. Prices are ubsurd. Food wasn't bad at all. We got level 3 spicy but could have been a lot spicier. Over all pretty lame. When you spend over 100 you get to spin the wheel. Won a prize but won't be using it bc it's for the next time. Won't be returning.

On a whim, I dropped by this place to give it a try. The service was quick and friendly. Really enjoyed the fried calamari appetizer. I ordered the King crab, Dungeness crab and Snow crab legs which were all delicious. The order also came with a side of sausage, an egg, a corn cob and a small potato. To top it off, I got a small flan for dessert. Lots of food! I will definitely return to this restaurant to try out their other dishes.

So good! We were a large group and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. I enjoyed my drink (Crawfish Queen) and my kayak-shaped boil.

I didn't like that we had to show vaccinations card.The Gumbo soup is a no for me the red bell pepper empowered the other flavors. Macaroons were to hard. Shrimp, fries, white rice and catfish was good. They charge 20percent to your check for gratitude but don't check on you, we ask for refills twice and didn't bring it until the 3rd time.

I love deep fried soft shell crab.On my lady visit, I found the crab a bit too greasy, grease literally poured out when I bit into one.Service was fast, polite, the rice I ordered lacked flavor but was OK.

Me and my fiance have been coming here for a year and make the trip at least once a month. The food and spices are terrific! Their mixed drinks are amazing! We usually get the snow crab and lobster boils, so worth every cent. I've lived in Louisiana and this is by far the closest thing I've found next to living down south. Delicious!
