The Crab Pot Restaurant and Bar Long Beach

Definitely enjoyed the food. Went with some clam chowder in a bowl and also tried the crab Mac and Cheese. Both were so good! The mac n cheese had this crispy layer on top, so good. And the chowder had a bit of vegetables Had some good service and i like the fact that it wasn't packed. Good location to enjoy the weather. The only problem is that I found a red hair on my clam chowder bread and I know it wasn't mine because I have black hair. Didn't want to complain or try getting free food cause i just dont do that!! Will give it another shot though and hopefully I raise the rating next time.

The Crab Pot is a casual seafood restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. They are known for their all-you-can-eat crab boil, which is served on paper-covered tables. The food is fresh and delicious, and the service is friendly and attentive. The restaurant is located right on the marina, so you can enjoy the view of the boats and the water while you eat. The outdoor seating is especially nice on a warm day. The Crab Pot also has a variety of other cocktails available, including beers, wines, and margaritas. So, you're sure to find something to your liking.

A must-dine waterfront seafood establishment! Every time I visit Seal Beach from LA , a visit to The Crab Pot is a must. During this particular visit, we had the pleasure of Caroline's attentive service. She greeted us with a warm smile and ensured our needs were met. The entire staff at this establishment exudes remarkable friendliness. Refreshingly cold beverages were served, a perfect complement to a sun-soaked day at the beach. The culinary offerings, as consistent as ever, exceeded expectations. My personal choice includes the 1lb King Crab and a 1/2lb of snow crab, accompanied by a side of corn. The crabs were both flavorful and perfectly fresh, leaving me with nothing but praise for their taste. And I cannot forget to mention the perfect views of the setting sun over the harbor! Parking: Lots of spots, however the lot is shared with general Los Alamitos Bay Marina parking and it can get full quick especially on weekend evenings. Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps are easily accessible from designated handicap parking.

This place was less than ok Food is generic and something you would get at a county fair. Not worth the price. We ordered Fish and Prawns and chips and came out unimpressed and not for $17. These were not made fresh. They’re frozen and thrown in the fryer upon orders. Worst fish/prawn chips I’ve had. Same with the calamari and cheese sticks. Don’t come here if you think you’re getting fresh seafood made.

Fun place to hangout on any afternoon. We came for happy hour. Large happy hour food selection. Do try the salmon tacos. There is a spacious outdoor area with bar and fire pit.Food: 3/5

Bay shrimp... more like not so slay shrimp fishy and salty and it took over 30 minutes for them to get me my replacement chicken. booooooo our bread was squished. No one ordered crab??!?!? our waitress was nice! Will not be back Food: 3/5

I went here for my birthday. Crowded when I arrived, but wait time not too long. I had a really good time. The food was delicious. I ordered King crab and a couple of other things...too many to name. I liked everything! I definitely want to come back again. I sat outside next to the water. The view was beautiful. The servers were very attentive and awesome.

We went there for happy hour and it was really good. We started out with Mai Tai and the electric watermelon and they were both very sweet and could’ve used a little more alcohol. The kids all got strawberry lemonade which was very good. The food was pretty good with a few exceptions. We ordered coconut shrimp twice and the first one came out a little over cooked, but the second one was much better. It is served on a bed of coleslaw. Oysters were OK just not very flavorful or salty but the cocktail sauce and horseradish were delicious, I think they grate their own horseradish. The fries were awesome and at two dollars on the happy hour menu can’t be beat. The fried calamari was very tender and flavorful. Ahi and mussels were very good, the mussels are called steamed mussels on the menu but came in a bucket of juice, not that I didn’t like them, just thought that was odd. I should have ordered the loaf of sourdough to go with it. Kids liked the popcorn shrimp but I forgot to try them. A nice man told us they had the chocolate landslide and he loved it so much that on his way out he gave us $10 so we could try it, it was delicious and the six of us couldn’t finish it. It didn’t have chopped walnuts but half walnuts which I thought was a varsity move on their part. Our waitress Sidney was very nice. The ambiance on the deck was wonderful and the views amazing. One thing I’ve never seen before, you had to either order off the happy hour menu or order off the regular menu but you couldn’t do both. And they sat you in a different location depending on which menu you were ordering from. The men’s room was out of paper towels and toilet paper, although they left a roll of paper towels on the sink, but when you do that, they sit in the water that accumulates on the sink.

This place is super underrated. The food was excellent and the staff was really nice. The drinks are poured well and the seafood was way better than I expected. If you are in the mood for a big bowl of seafood, this is the spot.Food: 5/5
