W food, got the snow crab legs and absolutely destroyed them. If you do go here make sure to get the rhubarb cake for dessert, it was amazing. Great service, the waiter was extremely nice and told us when everything would be done. Truly a 5/5

OK, we have avoided this place for a while assuming it was inferior seafood geared towards tourists that have no discerning taste, but oh boy we were wrong! In fact we would consider this some of Seattle's finest and freshest fare. The waiter was a kick in the pants and one of the most attentive we've seen, and after going back home to Oregon we realized we left our credit card there. Called them the next day and they cheerfully mailed it back to me free of charge! We come to Seattle a few times a year and we will make a point of dining at the Crab Pot each time.

highly recommend! in the picture is the alaskan crab boil for two people, i'd say it was a pretty good amount. the food was amazing although i wish there was more sauce other than butter. the service was amazing, our server was very nice and same with the others. this was just a really cute place on the pier.

This is a very, very touristy type restaurant right where the cruise ships dock. However, the staff is very friendly, and works at making sure customers enjoy their experience. Crab was perfectly seasoned, mussels and clams were plentiful.

Walked by this place many times, always wanted to try it. We came here on a weekday which made it kind of nice, no Waite and a window seating. Our hostess was a young gentleman. No hello and no personality. Usually hostess should greet you, maybe that's how they do it here. We ordered one of the most popular dishes. Everything came out fantastic, cooked to perfection. I was kind of hesitant on the price at first, but all in all, it was worth every penny after our waitress made it very delightful experience. She was very pleasant, with a great personality, and very tentative. She rocked it! Beer was delicious, but cocktails could've used a little more of a kick for the price of $12. Steamed clams were pretty tasty. Restrooms were clean and so was the dining room. Any info, just check out my receipt. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
