My Brother's Crawfish

So delicious! This is our go to spot for seafood boils, and it never disappoints. Thank you to our server Tom for taking such good care of us as we celebrated our Anniversary!

If you show your ID on your birthday, they give you a free crab! I got the clams on the side and we also ordered the fried chicken and fries. Super yummy! If you can't finish the crab they wrap it for you to take home and reboil in the bag, it's pretty cool! Lots of space and service was great! Atmosphere is cute, but the bathroom access is kinda confusing haha.

Omg this is the best restaurant ever. The food was phenomenal. The waitress was truly outstanding made our visit there exceptional. Definitely will be repeat customers I highly recommend this place. Taste just like home...New Orleans Louisiana my home town. Love this place

I have been wanting to try this place for so long. I have followed their social media pages and every post made my mouth water. Today I was able to finally go in for a lunch date with my mom. The food was absolutely fantastic and had us both in awe and shock at how much we were enjoying lunch. The food however was not what will keep us coming back (obviously it's a plus) but the service we were provided by Drew will have us being forever customers. Thank you Drew for being the best part of our experience today ❤️

Came here for for my birthday and received an awesome Snow Crab Boil for free!!! It was fantastic. The service was outstanding !! I asked Gina how to get the crab out of the shell. She was so nice and accommodating, she put gloves on and demonstrated how to perform the best techniques. Stellar service by Gina!! I also got the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp and Clams in garlic butter and a French roll t mop it all up with. This place rocks!!!!

I love this place sooo much! Their crab boil is phenomenal. I got it with mild cajun and garlic butter broth, crab and clams, potatoes and corn. I couldn’t stop eating! And the vibe is chill enough I didn’t feel self conscious making such a mess. They do a birthday special, too, if you come in on your special day! Every time is amazing.

The fried stuff was well seasoned but appetizers are very small portions. They were out of crawfish etouffee so I ended up ordering a small thing of seafood boil to try out halfway through. The shrimp was low quality and the sauce was overly sweet. The bowl came out looking like that. Gross.

A friend recommended this place, and it lived up to the hype. For six adults, we ordered 3 lbs of crawfish, 3 lbs of mussels, and 1 lb of shrimp, along with potatoes, corn, sausage, and bread. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and we enjoyed every bite. Gloves and plenty of napkins were provided, making the hands-on eating experience fun. Our server was excellent—she explained the menu, offered great recommendations, and even showed us how to peel the crawfish. We had a great time overall, though the restaurant could use some updates. The interior was somewhat dim, and the furnishings and ambiance could use a refresh. Still, we would definitely come back.

The broth is too watery so the seafood and potatoes were rather bland. Clams and peeled shrimp did not taste fresh. Unpeeled shrimp have veins. I enjoyed the Dungeness, and that birthday lb of snow crab legs is definitely the highlight! Ambience is dark and journey to the restrooms is creepy.

I loved this! Amazing seafood boil, Alaskan king crab and crawfish were perfectly cooked, well portioned. Great seasoning, the waitresses were nice. They gave us extra corn that we asked for:-) we got ours to go and it was well packaged and did not leak. Yay 10/10. Also I live in Portland and it's for sure the best boil in this area.

First off, this place has been my go to for a while. I haven't been able to take pictures in the past because they bring out the bowl of seafood and I just stare at it while digging right in. The service is always amazing. When I ordered this oyster po boy, they made if in the time estimate that they gave me (15-18 minutes). One of the servers told me to sit while I was waiting for my order and asked if I wanted anything to drink. She gave me a diet coke for free and even talked to me for a bit while my food was being made. I love the vibe of the restaurant, where they bring seafood out in big bowls rather than a bag. The oyster po boy was one of the best I've had in Portland (hard food item to find). The oysters were definitely handled with care and fried to perfection. I often feel like fried oysters have too much batter, but these ones have a light and flavorful coating. I also ordered oyster shooters to go and those were delicious as well. Overall, they always have insanely affordable deals every week, so definitely look out on their socials for it. I highly recommend this place to any seafood lovers

I've been dying to go here since it was first brought up to me. First the restaurant itself is very clean and fun vibes inside playing incredible music. The service was friendly and accommodating but when it came to the food...... I'm not even sure if there is a character limit here but I can't begin to tell just how amazing this seafood boil is!!! The crab was so delicious and dipping it into the medium spicy garlic butter boil was just amazing!! Will absolutely go again but make sure you wear dark clothing!! The juices will get everywhere lol

Currently on day 4 of our seafood food trip and this is the only bad food / experience we've had! we knew the oysters were off, wasn't served on ice, only had 1 and had to send it back. still got sick.. the seafood boil was not worth it, only included half of a crab for $55? shrimp was overcooked. at least they got the corn cooked just right... just go to a nice restaurant and get the crab and oysters there and save yourself an upset stomach.

Best service always!!! Love a small business vibes cause they fr care about their customers! Food is always bomb. I always get a seafood boil - SPICY GARLIC BUTTER is a must. And their house made hot sauce... if you know, you know! Shrimp, crawfish, snow crab, potatoes & corn was in my bowl and it was so good. I got a French baguette to dip into the bowl! Must try place.

My daughter and I wanted to try seafood boil but had no idea where to go. A lot of people on Reddit suggested My Brother's Crawfish and I'm so glad they did. This place is SO GOOD. Food is on point here. I got a $5 side salad which was simple but got my greens in. My daughter and I shared the fried alligator bites and they were super good! They came with some type of tartar sauce and it was delicious. I got a seafood boil with the butter garlic broth, shrimp, lobster tail, potatoes, mushrooms and eggs. THE SAUCE IS DIVINE. Everything was cooked excellently. Hot AF but didn't stop me from eating My daughter got the seafood boil with hot broth, shrimp, lobster, clams, potatoes and eggs and said it was amazing. We were both honestly blown away. Our server was really nice and checked in on us periodically. We always had our water filled and enjoyed our time! We can't wait to come back.

The crawfish were buried in the mild sauce and it kept the crawfish hot and moist. The sauce is on the sweeter side but with the squeezes of lemon, it was the perfect balance of sweet, savory and buttery garlicky. The mushrooms were really good and I like how they kept them whole because it retains a lot of moisture and the mushrooms were very juicy. The oysters were pretty fresh as well. I'd come back.

Visiting Oregon from California and this is our first bad food experience while here. We came with a reservation tonight wanting to celebrate my sister's birthday. However, the overall service was disappointing. The servers weren't welcoming and food took almost an hour to come out. Can't even say the food was worth it.

Food was okay. Food was too mild for a seafood boil. Service was good. Ambience wasn't that great.

Wow. I went there tonight for my birthday and all I can say is WOW! My first time there was the greatest experience!!! The food was on point, service on FIRE ! And most importantly- the vibe ... I can't even begin to describe my comfy level!!

Used to come here every week. Sadly, seafood quality has drastically fallen over the last 2 years. We used to see the gorgeous crabs.... Now you're lucky if you have one with all its arms still attached After my 4th food poisoning in a 2 month period, I finally gave up. I came to this realization after a 2 hour period where I was laying in my bathroom floor thinking I was going to die. Better off buying the broth to go and sourcing your own crabs from the grocery

I drove across town to visit My Brother's Crawfish for my birthday, and it was well worth it. I started with the calamari, which was crispy and delicious. I loved the inclusion of sliced jalapeños. Then it was time for the main event, which was a seafood boil with snow crab legs and medium broth. The sauce was an exquisite blend of spiciness, garlic, and citrus, and the crab legs were succulent and cooked to perfection. I've had multiple seafood boils before, but nothing has ever come close to this level of flavor. What also really impressed me was the attentive service. My server suggested ordering a bread roll to savor every last drop of that delectable broth, and it was a genius move. By the end of the meal, I couldn't stop raving about the food, and the server even shared some fantastic food recommendations. While the atmosphere had kind of a dive bar vibe, which wasn't exactly what I anticipated, it didn't detract from the incredible meal and service. The only suggestion I have is to please please please provide gloves and bibs. Those boils get messsssy! Highly recommend to all seafood lovers!

Food was good!! I got king crab bag, but I had fried. The season is delicious, yet the meat wasn't as succulent as the boil, yet still good. They have $5 henny shots on Thursdays. Or Wednesday.. one of them. Oh...they have real catfish, not swai.

This place was BOMB!! I'm not a seafood girlie at all but I'm slowly coming around to it... and lemme tell you I KILLED the boil we got it was so good! They also have my bestfriend free crab for her birthday! An easy $100 dinner trip was $40, so def go in your birthday for some free crab!

The food was very flavorful and everything was well seasoned. Being from New Orleans and it was pretty close experience to being there. Although the softshell crab was a bit small, it was tasty and the crawfish were a little small, but they were also tasty as well . Black and catfish was overcooked, but that can't happen still tasted OK. The oysters were good and the hush puppies were phenomenal. The dirty rice was about as authentic as you can get.

Amazing, we got a 1/2lb of king crab, 1/2lb of clams, 1/2 shrimp and 2 sausages in the boil and it was incredible. Get the garlic butter and cajun, you will not regret it. On the side we got white rice and coleslaw - the rice was fluffy and the coleslaw was zesty and light! Bathrooms could improve. Overall, 8.5/10

Salty boil. Not too much flavor, it's needs more seafood flavor. Andouille sausage okay, too salty. Next time I'll try the fried sea food. The waiter was nice. Food came quick.

An updated review. They have daily specials, so follow them on instagram to see what they offer. This time I was able to snag the 4.99 first drink & 19.99 snow crab for lady special. Their Bloody Mary is fire, btw. Prob one of my top 3's. It was spicy, but not too much. This place was busy on a Wednesday so food took a bit longer. Overall great quality food. I recommend adding garlic sauce into your seafood boil sauce. Makes it so much more delicious.

Came here several times usually for a friends birthday. They offer a free pound of king crab if you happen to come in on your birthday. The service here is slow. Not to mention they charged our party of 9 automatic gratuity even though their policy states automatic gratuity for parties of 10 or more. They don't offer beer on draft so bottled beer only. In regards to the flavor of the classic was mediocre at best. Unfortunately portland doesn't have much seafood boil spots so I guess you can put this spot close to the top for the reason

The incredible fresh seafood never disappoints here. The seafood boils with incredibly flavored sauces makes me always stuff my face here

A fun place to get a seafood boil. Our server was really fun and friendly. She took our order and mentioned that it was exactly what they were featuring as their special IG deal going on that week. We ordered a lb each of clams, head off shrimp, crawfish, and added lb of snow crab. They forgot to include the crawfish, but the server was able to fix it and add the crawfish in our bowl when it was done cooking. The broth was spicy and a bit tangy. The seafood was good, potatoes was well cooked, the corn was good as well but a tad dry and overcooked. We were still hungry after finishing so we ordered another 2 lbs of shrimp and 1 lb of crawfish. The second batch had a more flavorful sauce even though we ordered the same kind. They came out with head on shrimp even though we ordered head off, but still tasted great. The decor is nothing to write home about but you won't even notice it when you're elbows deep in your seafood boil.

Love Rebecca and her 5 star service! Always a great experience when she's working! Food comes out in a timely manner.

Delicious! I really enjoyed the food and I was sat very quickly even though it was very busy

I am a big fan of their seafood boil spicy sauce! It's great with their warmed french roll (a must get!). For a party of 3, we got the salt and pepper calamari, a pound of shrimp boil with garlic butter (with sausage, corn and white mushrooms add ons), and a pound of fresh crawfish boil with spicy sauce (with sausage, corn and french rolls add ons). The portion is big so it was well enough for 3 people. The salt and pepper calamari was very good since the calamari is fried to perfection with the perfect batter ratio. It was well seasoned, crispy and not soggy. The seafood boil came out steaming hot and the flavor is on point! The seafood tasted fresh and the add ons are all delicious. Staff are very nice but they were all so busy so service was a bit slow.

TLDL: Amazing experience...amazing everything. Very very happy. Probably the most memorable dinner experience I have had. My wife took me for my 50th and I'm so glad she did. When we pulled up my wife was a bit sketchy about the outside and asked if I had checked out the reviews. "Nope. We're going regardless." The inside is quite nice. Food was amazing. Oyster shooters were big, Crawfish etouffee...yummy. Crab boil with corn on the cob, potatoes and mushrooms....effing amazing. Seafood gumbo...I want more! And the drinks. They had booze in them! I am so over paying $12 for drinks that are small or all juice. And it was Thirsty Thursday. $5.00 Long Islands and $5.00 shots of Henessy. And the best part was our server, Angela. She was so nice, energetic, thoughtful and fun! Great recommendations. Near the end after my wife had been removing meat from the crablegs for me she told Angela she was about done and then to the bathroom to wash up. (her hands were a mess). Angela told her to stay in her seat and that she'd take care of her. Angela brought out a bowl of warm water with lemon slices and mint. My wife was very happy. Also, want to give a shoutout to Kate, who was also super cool, and the busser guy who was also checking on table's water without interrupting. We will become regulars!!! If anything just stopping in on Thirsty Thursday for drinks and oyster shooters.

We went to celebrate my birthday at this restaurant, the steak wasn't cooked the way I want .. I don't know if the waiter is slow or short of help but she definitely delayed everything on the menu I asked for it .. she talked to the manager about it , to make it right and he the manager in charge made right .. do I recommend this place or go back to this restaurant absolutely not ..

I ordered the Seafood Gumbo, which is delicious. It's served with awesome cornbread. There's a bar (with a divider) and television screens. Monday night football was playing so the people were watching and cheering. My waitress was attentive and pleasant. I love the food!

Wow what great customer service. We got to come here the other weekend to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. This is actually where we had our first date and I still remember accidentally getting some of that spicy sauce from a crawfish into my fiancé eyes. He said that he took me here because I seemed like the kind of girl that would enjoy eating like this. And he was right! I was impressed with his choice to eat spicy food with our hands and let our guards down of being prim and proper. Having a meal like this is more enjoyable to get to know someone and have a delicious meal. We got the spicy and garlic mix. With clams and crawfish with some sausage and bread. I highly recommend getting a sausage per person and bread per person it was great. The people that night were so awesome in service even though they were crazy busy. Better make reservations for a weekend night. We'll definitely be back for our date night again soon.

This place was where I had my first seafood boil, and it exceeded my expectations. Also being pregnant with my first child, I will say that this is the safest and cleanest place to get that seafood craving your looking for. Also this is now the only place that I will loyally come to for my seafood. And the reason I say that is because recently, I have been to bag-o-crab for the first time in Salem. And I was highly disappointed after I had been craving and waiting all day to try it. So look no further and go try My Brothers Crawfish!!!!!

Seafood boil was okay. Overhyped in my opinion. The sauce that the seafood boil came with was SO watery it barely stuck on to the food. I live in Beaverton so this place was far. I probably won't ever come back here again just because of the distance/ quality of the food.

Food was good, service was terrible. Server never came and checked up on us. It seemed like the servers were to busy, even tho we were the only ones there.

‼ DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME‼ This place used to be really great; however after the pandemic they haven't lived up to all the hype that TikTok viral video mentions. I was greeted by a lady that never looked up at me and seemed only entertained with her phone and got irritated with me for simply asking a question regarding happy hour. This right here should've prompted me to turn around and leave but I was craving some Alaska Crab Legs boil - $70.00 lbs btw. Side note. The menu isn't updated and they have No Happy Hour Menu. Website also isn't working!! When I asked the waiter if the shrimp was deviled he looked at me like he didn't understand the question so I asked again, and again and he asked me if I wanted the head on or off totally avoiding the question. Huge red flag I order the hurricane and 2 order of crab cakes -$40.00. He brought the dish and a plastic fork!! I asked for a real one and he laughed and said we are washing them at the moment; mind you this place wasn't packed. 6-10 individuals at the most. As I'm waiting I decided to take a peek at the reviews that left me SMH but was still very much excited to try this place one more time but decided to leave since the whole vibe and the customer service was completely off. As far as the crab cakes they were bland and not a lot is seasoning. So for two orders of the crab cakes and a hurricane drink I spent $47.00 and still tipped.

The build your boils was delicious. Although the broth was a bit watery it didn't take away from the great seasoning and flavor. Out of the other seafood boil places I've gone to this one actually had an alright kick when I ordered the spicy and garlic butter broth. The fried shrimp were okay I felt like they were a bit too salty but still good. The vibe is nice although the tables are near each other where we sat the lighting still made it feel private and I could enjoy eating with my hands lol. I've been here before and it's always packed you definitely have to be ready to wait a bit for the food but you can't rush good food. I would definitely come more often if it wasn't far from where I live.

Was looking for a spot in the area for lunch. My friend said she loves this spot. It smelled really yummy inside. Staff was super friendly! They have a cat robot that delivers to your table (it brought our oyster shooters but that's it). The menu is vast. I ordered an oyster shooters (tasty/fresh), fried green tomatoes (good texture but lacked flavor in breading), and blackened catfish poboy (good texture, missing salt?). We got some tea since we were cold. I side is cute but the windows are boarded up (I'm not sure why...could be a number of reasons). Overall I'd come back to try the boil and some other items.

You know what. They have gator. And it's delicious. The parking situation is a little tight. But the food is worth it and the staff are very good.

This was my first time trying seafood boil and I really enjoyed it! We ordered one pound of clams, crawfish and shrimp with corn and sausage. The waitress recommended 1-1.5 pounds per person and I think that was a good amount. The sides were overpriced in my opinion. I would skip the corn next time because it was a little dry. The boil alone was $50 so not bad for what you get. Kind of a pricey meal but it's also not a meal you get everyday so I think it's fairly priced. Be sure to check out their Instagram because they do post deals there. I was expecting a stronger cajun flavor and more spice because we did order the hottest level. This one was more tomato-y. I recommend the clams and shrimp because it absorbs the boil very well. The crawfish had little meat to it. Overall, this place was good but nothing wow. I'd rate it a 3.5/5.

Ah-mazing! A huge THANK YOU to our server, Angela, for giving us a guided tour of how to crack & eat a whole freshly boiled lobster! Also, for giving us tips & encouragement to take the lobster's shell and leftover boil sauce with us to make additional meals! (we admitted we were lobster -first -timers and she was very excited to help us out!) This was our first visit, and we came in to take advantage of a "September Birthday Special" we heard about on Instagram, but honestly we're expecting to get much. Turns out, no false advertising -- they gave us A WHOLE FREE LOBSTER for my husband's birthday! We added corn & potatoes (we got to specify how many were added and flavor of broth -- we chose a garlic butter which was legit like a big bowl of garlic butter) Aside from the lobster, we ordered blackened catfish (my husband's choice, would 10/10 order again) w/ cornbread & dirty rice; fried catfish (my choice 10/10, would order again) w/cornbread & literally the best cole slaw I have ever had. My son ordered off the kid's menu (corn dog bites & fries -- I wouldn't order again, but was grateful they had a kid's menu). My husband also was very impressed with their Bloody Mary (Angela told us it includes their own hot sauce) & we shamelessly took all our leftovers home with us, including the boil broth & lobster shell in a big ol' plastic bag! First visit, easily five stars -- Fantastic meal, outstanding service, unreal birthday special. We will definitely be back & keep watching social media for more deals!

The staff was insensitive and lacking attention to the customers. The restroom was filthy and the restaurant was cold and the seating is atrocious.

The waitress was fantastic and the bowl we had was amazing. The broth was outstanding.

Amazing crab boil! Tiffany was an awesome server and has great customer service! Definitely will come back!

In my husband words "I really love their shit, like everything is amazing!!!" I agree 100%!

Fantastic crab boil in an unassuming location. The garlic butter slices broth is amazing, we took it home and made scallops fettuccini the following night and it was fantastic. Very casual, very friendly. Not fine dining but fine flavors, best birthday special I've run across.

I really like the look and feel of the atmosphere. The service is great and attentive. They make everything fresh. The food is unique and I love the Cajun fries and my husband loved his seafood bowl. You get a lot of food for what you pay. I would recommend

I wanted to cry this place was so good. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and the food and service was so amazing! I wish nothing but the best for this place it's incredible

If you like affordable seafood, this is the place to be. Came on Thursday and they had lots of deals. I was able to try their Louisiana crawfish and the Bloody Mary. Both were good. Can't beat cheap henny shots and Long Island iced teas!

Oh my gosh. I seriously do not know why it has taken me so long to get my belly in this joint. I have friends who were throwing down at MBC and I was like Sure, and Oh okay... I will check it out... all the while saying to myself sure sure I will. What a complete idiot. I cut off my own nose in this case. This place freaking delivers. MBC is taking care of bizness. I am just going to refer to this place as ELVIS, because they are the KING, THE LEGEND.... The myth is true. My Brother's Crawfish is a diamond in a crappy strip mall in a beat up part of town. I questioned if I was in the right spot. I second guessed leaving my car in the lot. But they can take my catalytic but they will NEVER TAKE MY BOIL! So I went big once I got settled. We went with the garlic butter dungie crab, shrimp 2 kinds , sausage and potatoes ... and the bread. Gotta get the bread to mop up the juice. Mmmm. ELVIS! Have you ever seen photos of Elvis in black leather when he was making his comeback tour in 68? He looked firetrucking hawt! Well that's sorta how this big bowl of manna made me feel ... it was like a full body experience, and all I could think to myself was WHY... why did I wait so long to come to MBC? I am worthy. I am enough. And guess what Friends, you too are worthy. You too are enough. Stop what you are doing and go. Really. Maybe I will see you there!

The food here is amazing!! I have tried a few different things from this restaurant & I loved them all! The lobster pops are absolutely delicious & so is the fried catfish po boy, and whatever you do, don't forget the corn bread! You won't regret it! The jambalaya is also absolutely delicious!! This is actually one of our favorite restaurants to eat at. The staff is great, the service is pretty quick (even when busy), & they always remember us & our order which I love about them! All in all, this place, staff, food, & everything else about them, AMMMAAAZZZIING! Give them a try, I promise you will go back for more.

If i could give this place zero stars i would. I came in at 9, and they had denied me service because "the kitchen closed at 9:50". I could tell these ladies did not want to serve me at all, I had also saw two other groups of people walk in right after i left and get seated. It's a shame because i used to come here all the time a few years ago.
