The Crab Pot Restaurant & Bar is a fun and casual restaurant specializing in delicious seafood. What makes this particular restaurant famous is its incredible Seafeast. There are five different varieties of Seafeasts but they all have one thing in common: giant steamed buckets of seafood that are dumped directly onto the table. The most popular is The Alaskan which comes with King crab, Snow crab, Dungeness crab, steamed clams, shrimp, Pacific mussels, andouille sausage, red potatoes and corn on the cob. For those looking for a more traditional entrée, the Crab Pot has a wide variety of options. The rest of the menu is made up of fried seafood, grilled seafood, chicken, burgers and sandwiches. While the seafood options are delicious, there are plenty of beef and chicken dishes as well like the colossal bacon cheeseburger and grilled chicken with seasonal vegetables.

Location nice, server was awesome. Food very underwhelming. Two crab sandwiches nothing but breading and onions with sauce, hard pressed to get v any crab flavor.
Got a boil for two, only thing that was remotely good was the crab. The shrimp had zero flavor, potato’s were not cooked and very hard.
Maybe this was a bad day or meal for them but for $300.00 not close to the expectation’s. The waiter however was awesome!

Seated quickly, place was pretty empty. Waiter just wasn’t attentive. It appeared like he had 1 speed and no comprehension of priorities. Had to ask for everything, refills, sauces, except for a box to take leftovers home, no need there. Food lacked flavor.

This was beyond an experience! We were able to sit outside, and the sunset added to the fantastic ambiance. Once it started to cool down, the excellent staff knew to crank up the heaters without being asked. Our drinks were never empty, and our food was hot and delicious! The atmosphere was energetic but quiet enough to carry on a conversation. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. We will be back again and again!

I LOVE this location. I love the crab!!! I feel like the sausage, oysters, muscles and clams in the Pots are over cooked while the potatoes were a little under. That being said…will I be back - YES! Do I recommend it? YES! I just may order a bunch of crab next time!!!

Our waiter David was excellent. He checked back with us after being served several times to make sure we had what we needed. He delivered our drinks quickly and asked when he saw them empty. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and the view.
