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.

    What a great Valentine’s Day theme! We double dated and it was our first time going there so we had a lot of fun. The music was great, loud but not too loud where we couldn’t have a conversation. They filled up the place with many red floating balloons and looked so festive. The special Valentine’s menu was top notch with great selections no matter what diet you’re on. Service was always attentive even as crowded as they were. Great memories were made and we can’t wait to go back!
