Crabpot Restaurant

What a waste of money. It's expensive and you get a bucket of crap. That's right, craP. Why would I pay that amount of money for a bucket of corn, mussels, sausages and few pieces of crab? If you want to go to a place offers value, volume and eating with your hands? Go to a crawfish places. If you really want crabs, go cook some at home. This place is not worth it. more

One the things that made me dread the place the most was having to eat with my hands, though the novelty got the better of me. The food is not that good though and when it comes to seafood, you want it fresh, so that was quite disappointing. Oh well. At least now I can say I tried it. more

I would have to agree with everyone else about the service. We were seated very quickly but had to wait about 20 minutes to be waited on. It wasn't like it was a busy not when we went, it was on a Tuesday night around 8pm. We ordered the "feast" and the food was not rotten but over cooked. The crab was very dry same with the corn. When the food had arrived our waitress still had yet to bring us our mallet and crab crackers. We sat there and waited and she finally came back 15 minutes later. It was the worst service ever and they need to hire a new staff. We went back one more time just to see if they were having a bad day or what... and needless to say the service was still just as bad as well as the food!! more

Perhaps I have been biased as well, but as I've been in similar styled restaurants--down to the wood plank deck and the nearby lake--I have been severely disappointed. First off, I don't know why anyone in their right mind would put a dining couple outside with a heaping, unmovable mess of half rotten seafood outside, in the blazing Bellevue sun, in the middle of wasp season none-the-less! We must've had the same waiter because we certainly had the same reaction to when we were charged incorrectly. As we have mentioned, we may be biased, but there is some awful service there and the "feast" is not much better. more

I feel im being harsh when im going to be the first to write this review on the crab pot in bellevue. Let me start off by the location, the location is nice and quant, its located near a man made lake that is made to look like a beach shore and out the back is a nice scenery of a lake that is make to mimic lake union or lake washington with a nice fountain in the distance. Overall is a nice place to go out for the summer for dinner or late spring. I may be bias when i say the service recieved was not expected first off we were sitted very quickly, but no one picked up our service till a half our later. second we all order the feast. For all of you who never been here before what they do is the make your seafood in a huge pot and the dump on the table which covered by a large paper covering. The seafood feast was good but there were too many rotten mussels and/or undercooked oysters, I mention rotten mussels because there was a strong odor. I guess when you cook in a large pot its hard to cook it correctly. the service we recieve was unprofessional because the guy messed up on the order and reciept and charged us incorrectly and then when we mention it he said he knew it and mumbled some inappropriate words. We let it go, but he gave us the wrong change in return..... I still gave the regular 10% tip but i mention to the manager and he apologize and the waiter was to be talked with later. If i had to rate this on service it would be unfair as i would have rated this 2 out of 5 stars and the food 3 out of 5 stars. Perhaps it was a bad day. But needless to say i will come back to see if my view has change or service changed, because the crab pot is a restaurant of a different kind. more
