Price: Expensive
• Seafood • Long Beach
Booked 5 times today
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.

    I took my husband here for his birthday and it was a better experience than we could’ve imagined. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was amazing. My husband loved being seated by the windows and he was able to watch the cars on the track as we enjoyed our meal. Excellent staff! Would definitely recommend and come again!

    So, I’m a huge fan of this group of restaurants. Bestia and Saffy’s are my favs. We went to Bavel in 2018 and didn’t love it. We decided to try again last night and were so glad we did. The food was amazing. Every dish a feast for the senses. The services was impeccable. The Somm had know how and guided us to a couple of great picks. Our group couldn’t land on a single favorite. The bababganoush, dates, and osobuco tangine were top of the lists. We’re going back!

    We drove from San Diego just to eat here again and so worth the drive. The presentation and balance of flavors was spectacular. Service exceptional and ambiance subtle. This is our favorite restaurant and we will continue to drive to Long Beach every time there is a change in menu.
