Where to Eat Around T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field

"Ideal for groups, Crawfish King does a bonafide dump-it-on-the-table-style Cajun crawfish boil, with various Vietnamese sides, beverages, desserts, and sauces to add a twist to the experience. The specials sometimes include the rarely seen Pacific Northwestern signal crawfish, which can be the size of a lobster — way bigger than the imported mudbugs from the South — and the menu always has all the usual local crab and oyster suspects too." - Meg van Huygen, Harry Cheadle

15 Lively Seattle Restaurants for Big Group Dinners

"Casual International District seafood shack Crawfish King adds Vietnamese influences to the Cajun crawfish boil. Diners order seafood either by the pound or as a combo, along with a sauce, and the whole shebang spills across the huge table like at a backyard fiesta. It’s a messy, interactive bonding experience to crack away at a mountain of shellfish as a bib-wearing team." - Meg van Huygen, Mark Van Streefkerk, Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Adam H. Callaghan

They stayed open a little later because we were late to our scheduled dinner time, and we were grateful! We got the Pacific Northwest seafood boil, and it was a pretty hefty price ($400), but so good! We( 4 of us) were so full and had plenty of leftovers. I wish the menu showed the price, though! Still will be coming back!

Finally found a solid seafood boil in Seattle. The flavors were good enough to do the job but we’ve had better. It’s on the pricey side too. The mandatory 20% service charge can rub you the wrong way when the service is basic. (We’ve been here twice and the first time the service was non-existent.)

Honestly, it felt overpriced for what was offered. The taste was just okay, nothing special. I spent $110, and while the portions were decent, the flavors didn’t really hit the mark. I expected more, especially after combining all the flavor options like I do at other seafood boil spots. Instead, it ended up a bit off. To be honest, I’d recommend Bag O’ Crab over this place any day. The flavors there are better, and the value feels more worth it. Here, you're mostly paying for the location & not the food. Too pricey for something so basic.

We spent 3 days in seattle but we visited this place twice. Food is excellent, service is amazing! Torrey the owner is just exceptional. This is a place we would recommend and visit over and over

Food was great, but the services is what drove me to write a review. Excellent service super nice, would definitely recommend. The food was fantastic, but the service truly stood out and compelled me to write this review. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our dining experience truly memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a delightful and enjoyable meal.

2 friends and I had the 5lb bucket and we loved it! Seafood was fresh and sauces were tasty. Other people in our group got some fried seafood platters and weren’t as impressed. You get to spin their wheel if your check comes out to at least $100 before taxes and my friend was able to win a free 5lb bucket (the jackpot) on his next visit! Overall a great experience and you get good bang for your buck

Delicious! I was looking for a great seafood boil place in Seattle and found it. The clams and the snow crab were both delicious! They have some great fried food options for pickier eaters. Their drinks are to. die. for. I loved the bottomless lemonade, and their cocktails are fruity and delicious. I definitely recommend the Bayou sauce for your boil, but honestly 1 star might be enough to really taste the flavors. I got a 2 star and didn't feel like the spice added to the experience. It is definitely pricey but you have the ability to earn discounts the next time you dine in through their spinning wheel. I went with a group of four and ended up spending $300 for a special occasion, but realistically a party of four could probably spend $100 and end up happy. It's exactly what I was looking for!!

It's definitely a good restaurant to explore if you are also a seafood lover! We were 4 people and it cost us about 300 bucks more, around 80 bucks per person. But it's worth it! The food was incredibly satisfying, and the service and snacks were exceptional. From the moment we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted with warm smiles and attentive staff. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a delightful dining experience.

I made a reservation since I had a voucher for $50 off the bill from Groupon. We were greeted when we arrived and quickly checked in and shown to a table. I brought my roommate with me on a Sunday night, so it wasn't that busy. For our first time, the seafood was decent. Louisiana crawfish are not in season, so they had some other local species. We went with the build your own boil bag since my roommate and I don't like mussels much and every combo has mussels (you cannot mix and match or sub anything from combos). Also, some of the lower tier combos are only available during the week, excluded on weekends. Crawfish: 3/5 - The sauce is good, but the flavor did not penetrate the meat enough, so I was dipping the crawfish back into the sauce in the bag. Shrimp: 5/5 - Shrimp was definitely a highlight. They're a decent size and you can tell they are fresh because the meat was so sweet and they were cooked perfectly. Clams: 2/5 - I think they were manila clams, but I personally would not get them again. Some of my clams were really sandy/gritty. I had a couple clams that I spat out because I am pretty sure by the taste/smell they were dead before being cooked. Dungeonness Crab: 4.5/5 - Who doesn't love crab?? It was really good, but on the mote expensive side of pricing. Getting 1lb of the crab is equivalent to 3 halves of the body + legs + claw of the crab. Lobster: 4.5/5 - Lobster was really good. 1lb is equivalent to 3 tails, so this is also on the more expensive side. But the meat was good and sweet as well. Potato/sausage/corn combo: 4/5 - what is a seafood boil without this?? The combo was great, and soaked in the sauce of our choosing. The sausage comes as a full link vs being cut into slices. And the potatoes are also whole baby potatoes as well. All in all, yes, it was on the more expensive side, but the food was good and service was very attentive. I'd go back again with my roommate for sure.

Came here to eat some seafood with my cousins and I specifically asked the waiter so many times "is the crawfish fresh or frozen" and he kept telling me that it is fresh. When he came back to take our orders ... I told him I want the crawfish only if it's fresh and he again reassures that it was . I wish if it was frozen he would just tell me because I would've ordered shrimp or any other seafoods . Anyways , surely enough the crawfish came out and it was frozen . I grew up in Texas and know exactly what fresh crawfish taste like . So it ruined everything because it didn't taste good . The only thing I enjoyed was the garlic noodles . Oh and come with cash because they will charge you 20% gratuity and 3% for using card.

Update my review: I think maybe there is a change of ownership here. The staff is helpful and nice but this restaurant is way over priced. Everything is expensive and price increases so much that they now have a separate price list so they can change the price more conveniently. You get charged tax and tip on total BEFORE any discount or coupon. This is very sneaky! Not any other restaurant does this. You get charged 20% for tip You get charged 3% using credit card You get charged 5 dollars for sauce You get charged 0.5 dollars for take away bag. I start to feel like all they care is charging you sneakily to maximize profit. Been eating here for the last 7 years but will no longer a customer here.

Came for SRW which is a great way to try their smaller portions. The crab bowl came with one potato, corn, and half a sausage. I'm not a shellfish fan so I'm glad they had the crab-only option, which is pretty rare. It wasn't the best crab ever but it was very easy to tear apart with bare hands and it had good flavor. Impressed by this nice hidden place tucked away in the better parts of Chinatown. They also have a variety of sauce and spice levels.

My family and I would come here regularly! We absolutely loved it. Most recently, not so much, sadly. They got a whole new staff and it does not compare to the old staff. The customer service makes or breaks a place, with this new staff, it definitely breaks it. We've gone 3x since new staffing, hoping we'd see familiar faces. The old staff made you feel like family. They were personable, funny, welcoming, inviting, made it to where you didn't want to leave or made it to where you wanted to come back asap! We took the family for Christmas and spent over $600, the servers were short in conversation and even had us bag up our own food. The food was still delicious but we noticed the serving sizes were a lot smaller and the potatoes were about the size of a dime. All in all, it's still great food, just missing the atmosphere and family vibes. Not sure if it's new management.

Average seafood boil but with really good service. This place is in the middle of Chinatown, and was pretty empty when we came in for Saturday lunch. They have TVs on every wall playing sports, so would be a good spot to chill. We got the free Cajun fries (Yelp offer), PNW boat, and the diggers. The fries were good, perfect amount of Cajun seasoning. The seafood boil sauce was pretty good as well, super flavorful, and I like that they gave an extra bowl of sauce. The seafood itself was okay. Most of the clams were empty, and maybe half of the mussels were closed. The crab was pretty good, but not the freshest I've had. The other fillings were okay - carrots, potatoes, and sausages. They soak up the yummy sauce which was good. The best thing was the corn. It was super juicy and sweet. For dessert we tried the fried bananas and beignets which were also okay. The fry on the fried bananas was good, but I would've preferred more powdered sugar and more banana lol. Most of the pieces were just hollow batter. The beignets were very doughy and were more like doughnuts than beignets. Also could've used more powdered sugar. The service was immaculate though, the server checked in on us multiple times and were super friendly and mindful. The end of the meal comes with hot towels and Andes chocolates which were amazing after all that work peeling seafood haha. Overall, this was okay. The pricing makes it not super worth given the quality of seafood. I do wish I could have a bucket of corn and sauce though.

A few extra fees to keep in mind: - 3% credit card charge - 20% service fee which is calculated on your total before any discount - there there is an additional tip page during checkout but remember you have already tipped with the service fee - .50 bag fee if you have leftovers you want to bring home (** note: there were a few mussels that werent open after being cooked - if you see those dont eat them since there is a chance they are bad and could even cause food poisoning) Cajun restaurant located in international district! There are very interesting menu options such as fried alligator and various sauce options. Fast service and friendly staff! Overall gives the vibes of a casual cajun restaurant, although high price points for the food. We got the rajin cajun sauce which was a light, oily sauce. If you are into heavier flavorful sauces, maybe choose a different sauce. Shrimp was good but i wouldn't recommend getting the clam or mussels as the quality and saltiness is very inconsistent (ranging from normal to very salty) and there are bits of broken shells and empty shells. Staff informed us when we came about a 20% service fee which covers tip, but we werent informed about the extra 3% and bag fee. We received a promotion on 1lb of king crab legs which helped make the price a bit more reasonable, but its price was included in the service fee charge which shot up our subtotal. Would recommend checking out Crab season near east gate for a more transparent price point!

Only got 1 star cause couldn't give 0. Greeted by saying we have 20% service charge (gratuity) and 3% credit card charge do you still wanna come in. After we decided to come in and ask about happy hour that is posted the server said there was no happy hour on a Wednesday. Then he left and a female server came to get our order. The restaurant was empty, we were the only table . The food was mediocre and over priced . Ambiance was stale and worn . So many better places and cheaper .

I've only ever been to crawfish king for special events: the first, the international chinatown district (ICD) food walk for their 5 grilled shrimps ($6) and snow crab boil cluster ($6), and second, for their annual all you can eat (AYCE) ($45)! Each time was amazing! I love the variety of seafood offered at crawfish king. Don't be fooled by the name -- they also offer shrimp, snow crab, clams, mussels etc. so many options to choose from! Don't like seafood? They also have other add ins, such as lil smokies sausages, corn on the cob, potatoes, and egg. There's four sauces to choose from: garlic butter, rajun cajun, bayou, and big easy (combination of all the sauces) and you can choose the level of spice from 0-3. I had a lot of fun at the all you can eat with my friends. We started with 3 pounds and got 1 pound rounds afterwards. I prefer snow crab over shrimp over crawfish, personally. Buy a lot of my friends loved the crawfish! We tried all 4 sauces, and they were all delicious! Personally, my favorite was the garlic butter. I also highly recommend their happy hour slush drinks. The Hennessy + coke slush was delicious and only $5. It definitely helps get all the buttery seafood down! Crawfish king charges an automatic 20% gratuity for dine-in, so keep that in mind. Service is good with quick bucket changes and water refills. The restaurant can get very busy and loud, a great place to hang out with friends. There is free parking across the street, but it fills up fast. Restrooms are gendered.

For the lunar new year food walk, I ordered the Crawfish and Shrimp boil for $6 and the mango lemonade for $4. They made me use their machine which charged me extra for some reason. We got there at a good time since there wasn't a long wait. The drink was way too sweet. The boil was pretty good though.

Excellent experience all around--food, service, parking, and ease of reservation. We made a same-day reservation through Yelp, and parked in their complimentary lot--it was great not having to drive around the ID to find street parking. The place was clean, and there are TVs around the restaurant, so this would be a great spot to watch a game. Our server, Victoria, was very nice and gave us a rundown of the menu. We were deciding between doing the 2 person "kayak" seafood boil, or getting some of their fried dishes. We decided to go with the boil because when are we ever going to go through the hassle of doing a boil at home? For our boil we selected the headless shrimp, crawfish, and snow crab in the bayou seasoning, spice level 2. Before the food came out they gave us all the necessary tools to get down--metal crackers, scissors, bibs, and plastic gloves. Everything was great! We also got a side of rice which I highly recommend doing since everything is so saucy. The spice level was perfect for me--I can handle some spice, but don't like it overwhelming spicy. We would probably pick the same 3 items next time. We left comfortably full. Also, their beers are super cold. I'm not an expert when it comes to seafood boils, but we enjoyed our meal. We're looking forward to coming back and trying their fried dishes.

Ordered the Kayak with green mussels, head-on shrimp, and crab with Bayou sauce ($65). We were disappointed in the sauce as it was too salty. Also ordered Cajun fries and calamari, the fries could be more crispy but the calamari was good! Total came out to $120 for 2 people, which is pretty pricey! Keep in mind the 20% upfront service charge. Service was good, very cheerful and attentive workers. The window-sill areas were a bit dusty which wasn't a good look.

Fantastic seafood boil spot. Wanted to try this place for the longest time but could not come earlier so decided to try them for my husbands birthday lunch. We ordered a lb each of shrimp and crawfish with their mini combo (2 andouille sausages, 2 corns & 2 potatoes) with a side of plain bread. We chose the House Special Seasoning - Big Easy (Spice - 2 stars) and absolutely loved it. The shrimp & crawfish was tasty and fresh. The corn, andouille sausages and potatoes were very well marinated with their house seasoning which is fantabulous. We ordered a side of plain bread to soak up the goodness in the seasoning left behind. We were too stuffed to order any desserts or drinks. Service was quick and food was out pretty fast. We absolutely devoured our meal here. Parking can be a bit of a pain but there are a few public parking lots around as well. They do take reservations so book one for weekends but otherwise they have a huge seating area and it should not be a problem for large groups either. We cant wait to come back again! Highly recommend Crawfish King and it is by far my fav seafood spot in Seattle.

crawfish king in id, seattle! came here for brunch and were the first customers of the day . we got a bunch of stuff (i can't remember), but honestly the corn was my fav.. the snow crab didn't seem in season and didn't have the best flavor, and i don't actually like crawfish that much lol. desserts were okay, just super sugary.

If this place wasn't such a trek from West Seattle. I'd probably eat here all the time. Service is quick and the sauce is flavorful and consistent! My review is probably bias cus the owners are family but good food is good food. I always think I order just the right amount but I always have left over. The seafood and sauce goes great over some noodles for another meal! Inside is also super spacious and environment can be fun depending when you go. Highly recommend :) stop in and say hi to them sometimes!

Feast during their annual AYCE or any other time for a wider selection of seafood. This year the all-you-can-eat included snow crab legs in addition to crawfish and shrimp for a cheaper ticket price of $40. Some tables ordered AYCE ramen for $5. It was a full house for the 7 PM - 8:45 PM time slot with people lining up at the entrance well before its start time. Once seated, each person makes the initial request of up to three on the first bag with any combination of crawfish or shrimp by the pound, and snow crab legs by the cluster. After that, you can order additional one at a time, best as soon as your next order arrives to minimize wait times. Extras to include in the mix were corn, potato, lil smokies, and egg. Sauce options were Rajun Cajun, Garlic Butter, Bayou, and Big Easy with spice levels of zero to three. I stuck to the combination of all extras, Rajun Cajun, and level 2 spiceness. Because it was the second AYCE time slot, corn temporarily ran out during the middle of the event. The seafood was fresh, plentiful, and quite fun to peel despite its messiness. Do expect the seasoning to be heavy and quite salty though. Our additional orders were lost due to the chaos of the event, but were given extra bags and attention to compensate for the lost time. Supposedly no bags can be taken home unless it was the very first one, but at the end the staff let people carry out leftovers.

Pricey but SO delicious. We did an at home experience but did a make your own boil: Dungeness crab, potato, headless shrimp, mussels with Cajun / king sauce, level 2 spicy. Definitely needed some sides so we made rice and corn at home to go with. Will be coming back

This place used to AWESOME! We were regulars (almost every week), I don't know what has changed but nothing like what it used to be. It's not fresh anymore, they had frozen crawfish yesterday, which was ice cold inside (did not even cook good). We have the same sauce but it's not the same anymore. No more drift beer, no more "wheel spin give away/marketing fun, they took away even mouth wash in the bathroom. The place start looking dirty. They had only ONE girl working last night who was running around like crazy and the restaurant was super busy. The 20% service charge was there all the time but now they added 3% when you use credit card. And now (next day)my partner and I are dying with bad stomachache. Never again! We very sad that this plane is not what it used to be even 3-4 months ago.

I've been here twice, and the food was utterly forgettable each time. The service was alright, but the prices and extra fees are ridiculous. I got my food in a butter and garlic sauce, and I could taste neither. I got the crab legs, but they tasted like nothing due to the weakness of the sauce and pretty sad quality of the crab itself. I can't believe they charge that much for crab legs that pretty much taste like nothing. I also got a fried side, but that also tasted like nothing, no real flavor whatsoever. It was such a simple dish too, I'm really confused on how they failed to deliver on it. The price of the food here should be about half what it is, considering what you're paying. The 20% forced service fee/tip is a slap in the face. If I'm going to get food that barely tastes like anything, I shouldn't be paying so much! Save your money, and go to an actual seafood restaurant.

Our favorite Cajun style seafood spot for YEARS! Reasonable seafood prices and everything has lots of flavor. * Something to note is 20 % Tip is automatically added to total, service has gone down a bit but overall everyone is friendly and great ambiance.

Yelp
The audacity to all for 23% to sit and dine. 20% gratuity and 3% if you use a card as payment. The food was horrible, shrimp over cooked, sauce was awful and okra uncook. Please don't give your money away to these people. The old owners are definitely missed. I see why the place was empty. I'll be sure to use my platform to spread the word and call Department of Health concerning the automatic gratuity added. #yourservicesucks #youwillgooutofbud​

The food here is so worth the wait! I mean some people were waiting for a little while lucky enough for me my friend put in a rsvp. I come from California where seafood boils is abundant. Here in Washington there isn't much to choose from. So when we saw the review at crawfish king we knew we have to try it out! The food was delicious! they had different flavors and sauces that you could ask for. I am always down for a mix of Cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic and whoooowheeee it was yummy in my tummy! I also was able to try their oyster shooters, which was so fresh and good! and their fries! it was a good mix of soggy fries and crunchy ones (I'm one of the weird ones who really likes soggy fries). The shrimp (got two lbs.) was HUGE we had to take some home which says a lot since I was sharing with my husband! I also tried their crawfish and the muscles (so yummy!). The interior is cute! definitely casual nothing too crazy but it could get noisy when they have a full house. Their drinks are a little on the expensive side so I only tried one of them, I believe it was the queens drink (i didnt really taste the alcohol, if anything it was a fancy soda). The staff is really nice! they check on you and even have fun little conversations here and there. Very friendly! Overall I will come back for sure when i am craving seafood boil.

Crawfish King is a beautiful gem. Their food is unbelievable, the atmosphere is fun, and their employees are wonderful. I've only eaten here twice - but both times were fantastic. I had a personal boat of seafood each time. I've enjoyed the clams, crawfish, shrimp, and lobster to date. I've also enjoyed the creole fries and fresh shellfish appetizer. The beignets rival the ones you will find in New Orleans. Hot and fresh - incredible. My last visit I spent more than $100 ($178 total for two people - two drinks, a boat, and fresh appetizer) so I got to spin the wheel. My next visit I get to enjoy a pound of lobster on the house! I can't wait to go back

One cannot simply visit Seattle and not get a crab boil. Listen, everyone raves about Crab Pot by the pier but they have long waiting lines, first come first serve with no reservations, and very tiny portion sizes for expensive prices. Seriously, don't bother going there, please go to Crawfish King instead! Crawfish King offers the convenience of reserving a table online and, although we didn't take advantage of that service, we were seated promptly upon arrival. Super friendly staff brought us to our table quickly and the interior felt like a restaurant right off the docks. Menu is easy to navigate and QR codes are posted so you can easily find the market price of your desired seafood. We came right after an NFL game and we were so excited to eat, we ordered 2 lbs of Dungeness crab and a whole lobster (check out the size of that claw meat!) The combination sauce was great and the mild flavor had just the perfect amount of kick. Despite stuffing ourselves silly, we couldn't turn down some beignets for dessert, absolutely worth it. Service was amazing; at the end of our meal they provides heated wet towels for our hands and some Andes mints, our fave! Lastly, I believe based on our total bill, we were given the opportunity to spin the wheel. We didn't win any prizes but the staff was so nice and offered us macarons as consolation. Just be advised, gratuity of 20% is automatically added onto the bill, so make sure to keep an eye for that to avoid tipping twice. Some may complain about that but the service provided was amazing and well deserved. Would love to visit again next time I'm in the area!

Every time I come to Seattle, I had to stop by Crab Pot for some yummy seafood and get my hands dirty. This time I decided to try a new place. After checking the review on Yelp, I stopped by Crawfish King in Chinatown for a similar experience. The service of the restaurant is really nice. The host showed us where their free parking lot is, and gave us a thorough explanation on how the menu works and which one has the most value. He also gave us some discount on using Yelp, and they have a Facebook "like for fries", and brought us some free Cajun fries. Make sure you mention that to them if you like fries. When I mentioned that some of us couldn't eat anything spicy, he also gave us some side spicy sauce on the house so others could taste. At the end, we got some hot towels to clean our hands. I have no complain about their service! We ordered the 5lb bucket, which came with 1lb of crawfish, shrimp with head, clam, mussels, snow crab and veggies. It also comes with three corns, and potatoes, which we didn't get to finish all. I was a little disappointed with how small the crawfish are. They are very tiny, and doesn't taste very fresh. Same thing with the snow crab, many of the legs are somewhat hollow, with very little meat. I regret to order the combo, because we are unable to switch out any of the included items. Next time, I'll definitely order each seafood separately, so I can try the Dungeness crab. We order the big easy sauce on the bucket, it was flavorful, but too salty for my liking. I was drinking a lot of water afterwards. We also ordered some sampler for appetizer. The zucchini is really good, jalapeño popper was enjoyable, as it's not super spicy. I really like to butterfly shrimp, and yam fries was a-okay. At the end, if you spend over $100 you get to spin the wheel of coupons. Many customers enjoyed that experience, who doesn't like to spin the wheels?! But I was a bit disappointed that 20% gratuity was added on for the bill automatically. To be fair, he did mention it before we were sat down, it was transparent. But I guess it's a trend nowadays in the restaurant industry. If you are okay with it, you should come and give this place a try.

We got a bucket and shared it amongst the 4 of us. The food was tasty! Will come back again with more out of town guests. Service was great. Had s pretty good atmosphere and wasn't too loud.

I've been coming here for years and they used to hit the spot most of the time. BUT, I just went today and I'm really disappointed. First of all they charge 20% gratuity service charge. I understand things have gone up post pandemic and I appreciate that they told us as soon as we walked in. However, we ordered drinks and they never brought them out. For a place that doesn't necessarily need to provide a lot of "service" when compared to other restaurants other than just bringing out our food -- the least you could do is bring out our orders correctly. Especially when you're charging your customers 20% service charge. We ordered 1 LB head on shrimp and 1 LB snow crab legs with the mini combo & a side of coconut rice. Our total was $100! Later I looked at their menu online and saw that the "kayak" is $65 and it include up to 3 lbs of food with the mini combo. I literally feel cheated like the business is just tryna hustle you. They should've instead mentioned the different options I could get for the same price. Then, when we went to pay, we were charged $50 for snow crab legs. I haven't been in since the pandemic so I remembered their earlier prices being closer to $30. When I inquired about the price change, I got attitude from the girl at the cash register saying "yeah where have you been, it's been this way." I wasn't upset at the price difference nor was I saying I wouldn't pay, just curious about the price change. She continuously insisted that this is how the price is now. I then told her I had a Groupon to which she rolled her eyes at me. I later went on their IG and saw they were having a 50% off snow crab legs if you show the page. How ironic. You're insistent on your prices to a customer yet that day itself you're having a deal on that exact thing? I'm disappointed Crawfish King. Good customer service can go a long way and it's situations like this when you lose a long time customer!

One of my favorite seafood boil spots in Seattle that makes delicious cocktails as well! Even when I am too lazy to go in, I will always make it my first choice on ubereats. I love seafood and this place serves quality fresh seafood at a reasonable price.

DONT COME HERE‼ We got the Diggers bag with was crawfish ,3 corn , 3 potatoes, clam and muscles.. 10/10 the WORST boil I or my boyfriend have ever had in our entire lives. We had to tell the waitress that the muscles tasted like actual feces ! Absolutely disgusting. We even took them out of our bag because they smelt horrible as well. Most of the clams were empty and they add a 20% gratitude so even if you get nasty food like we did and horrible service then you still have to pay that 20%. The only decent thing was the shrimp that we got exchanged after speaking up about the muscles. We paid $80 for absolutely trash.

Coming from Houston, I kept my expectations low. I thought, there's no way the PNW could do Cajun crawfish justice. I was pleasantly surprised! Spicy and flavorful spices, bold garlic and butter, huggeee in season crawfish and attentive service meant my crawfish feast would be a great. If you spend $100 you get to spin this wheel of prizes for additional food rewards. Parking is a little tight but that's normal for this area. The bathroom was filthy and they had a really poorly tended fish tank in the entry.

We do a level 3 spice and we Mexican so we can handle heat but that is comfort heat. & house special for the spices. This easily feeds the 4-6 adults. Highly recommend for any crab boil lovers.

Love this place! So many options and flavors are great. Been here multiple times so far and never had a bad experience. Never had over cooked seafood like some of the crawfish places I've been to. Highly recommend.

This place was so good I had to come back and leave a review. My boyfriend, mom, and I were in Seattle visiting back in June. My mom and I are big crawfish fans and it's hard to come by fresh crawfish here in Vegas. We knew we had to eat seafood in Seattle especially seafood boil. We called beforehand to check that they had fresh crawfish in stock for the day. We've had our fair share of frozen crawfish and try to avoid it if possible. We loved how flavorful it was. Our waiter was very helpful in helping us choose what was the best option for us as well. I got 1lb of crawfish and clam with the King's sauce. My mom got 1lb of crawfish with King's sauce. My boyfriend got 1lb of shrimp with King's sauce. On the side, we got gumbo and cajun fries which were delicious. We also got one of the frozen margarita's and it was pretty good as well! Overall, it was a great experience from the customer service and dining experience. We would definitely come back if we're ever in the area again

I travel for work at Seattle WA, we love to eat crawfish so we ordered 8lbs at this restaurant. Picked up then drive to Kitsap, where we worked. When we opened it, the bag is smell super bad like rotten. I called the restaurant and complain about it, they denied to refund the money for me and said I already pick up the order. This is the worst restaurant I ever been to. WHAT A JOKE!!!

My favorite seafood boil place in the area. I live about 45 minutes away but the restaurants closer to my area just don't have the same flavor and taste as here. I also like the different options they have for seafood bundle deals instead of just having everything by the pound. Spinning the wheel at the end is a nice touch and I have been able to win some free food for my next visit!
