Crawfish Island

This is one of the best seafood boils I have had in Washington. The potatoes are huge, the serving size is way more than expected. Made me wonder if I'm getting the right amount at other places hahaha I got the snow crab and shrimp combo and a side of garlic noodles. I've never had garlic noods before but I'll be coming back for more. Add a little of the spicy garlic sauce in it and omg .... Heaven! 10/10 for flavor, quantity, and quality.

Ok, first I have to say I thought I had written a review for this place but just found it in my drafts. Unfortunately, this past weekend, we were there for our third time and let's just say it was not a charm.If you are looking for a good, albeit overpriced, boil this is certainly your place. Why might you ask am I giving it one star then? Let me explain.The first time we went, I had a boil, loved it. In fact my draft was all the rage. We even had their garlic noodles, delicious and recommend. The rest of things on their menu leave a lot to be desired. The lobster Po-boy is "fry sauce" and cold lobster on an oversized bun with boring lettuce and tomato. Not much flavor and just meh.This last weekend when we were there, I thought I would try something different so I ordered the catfish basket. OMG, stay away from that. It was two very tiny pieces of what tasted and looked like vandi-kamps pollock fish sticks (you know the kind). If it is was actually catfish it was the cheapest, pre-frozen crap I have ever tasted. Oh, and it came with fries. Yeah, skip the sweet potato fries, they were way undercooked and zero seasoning, in fact I didn't even eat them.Also, another reason I am giving such a low rating is the fact that they tack on gratuity for even a party of four. This time, we knew to ask for an itemized receipt, but be ware if they don't give you one there is already a tip added. The last time we were there, we were handed ticket with the total and that was it. It even had a line for tip. Fortunately my husband was doing the math in his head and we caught the add. The service has never been good enough for a 20% tip, perhaps that's why they just tack it on.Hopefully my two out of three negative experiences are exceptions and not the norms but I won't be back. There are other places that are just as good or better for the hefty price you pay here.

Today me and the bf was craving a good seafood boil! This was our first time trying it out here. We waited less than 5 mins to get seated, and the lady seating us was super nice. We ordered the island seafood egg rolls, it was super good, it was just it was still a little cold/frozen in the middle... LOL. We got the Combo B, we replaced the clams with mussels. Ima just say this, the mussels and shrimp is soooo juicy and plump, cooked to perfection. The crab legs were okay, next time I wouldn't get it, it was just so skinny and the meat felt super over cooked. The sauce was really garlicky and sweet. If you're not a fan of sweet then don't get this sauce. The potato's were HUGE. I would come here again. For everything that we got it was a little over $80 (we got rice as well) so the prices are reasonable, we're stuffed.

My boyfriend and I stopped by as we were in the area for some quick shopping on a weekend day. When we arrived, it took a little bit before we were seated but it looked like there was one server who was doing her best to keep up. Once we were seated down, she told us that there was a huge dinner rush before we had came in. Our server was very polite and professional, making sure we had no confusions on the menu and was patient with us. Eventually, my boyfriend ordered the special fried rice and I got a green mussel seafood boil with an order of rice. My boyfriend got his fried rice first and the server let us know that my boil was coming up. It did after a few minutes and I loved the way they served instead of in those plastic bags. I ordered the spiciest level but it wasn't really spicy at all, so I'll see if I can ask for even more spice. Additionally, in comparison to other seafood boils spots, I'd definitely go elsewhere. However, my boyfriend really enjoyed his fried rice and it came with plenty of different seafood. The space is pretty clean and spacious, accommodating big or small gatherings. They also had cute Christmas décor around the store. Two signs that have the market prices of their seafood is around the restaurant which was good to see as most often those prices are only seen at the front. The bathroom was clean as well!

This place was bustling with activity, but the decor didn't quite capture the island vibe. Our waitress was certainly eye-catching and ensured we received everything we asked for. However, the food left something to be desired. We opted for the island combo, which was surprisingly generous, enough to feed a party of 4.5 people.

I love a seafood boil. I'm southern and so happy that I'm seeing a lot of these places pop up. On our visit, a kid threw up right next to a table and we had to ask to move. The place is clean. The service was okay... I had to flag staff down a few times. The house boil bag sauce is a garlicky mess of goodness. Nothing like home where it's just lemons and a rack of spices/oldbay. This spot is local to me so I'll be back. Food is 4 stars service was 2.

It was my first time eating here on a Friday night with a big party of 9 and staff were so friendly and attentive during the dinner rush! From the beautiful mural on the wall to the little umbrellas in our drinks, it really felt like I we were on an island. Staff were so attentive in refilling our water and making sure we had all the sauces. We had spilt some drinks on accident but staff were so willing to help replace table mats and give us extra napkins. As for the food, great spice level rating and seasoning. Our table had ordered some spicy, medium and mild, all were so flavorful and not overly salty. Though I love my spice, my favorite was the lemon pepper (mild), a perfect combination of sweet, salty, and flavor (highly recommend). Our family had no complaints at all, so happy to support this newly opened business!! I will definitely be coming back with more friends and family because this is the only crawfish spot in the area.The owners even came out to check on us to see how everything was, I wish them all the success in their business.

Been here 4 times in 2 months. We enjoyed it every time. When it's busy expect to wait. Don't forget to get steamed rice and definitely 2 orders of chicken wings cause it's BOMB .

Came here around 12:30/1pm and was immediately greeted with a warm welcoming. Server was all smiles and was very friendly. To me, looking from the outside, I was expecting to place my order at a counter, grab a number and sit patiently. Not the case here! Was seated at our seats and served like a restaurant should. It appears they have a full bar menu but unfortunately I didn't participate in that. Ordered the Garlic Noodles with Shrimp and was quite impressed. Portions were perfect for a lunch item. I left satisfied yet wanting more. Highly recommend.

We happened to be in the area and stopped by to give this place a try. Quick seating. Yelp helped me know my wait time will be. Server welcomed with a smile and helped us with any question we might have. Everything on menu looks appetizing. But what to pick? Good Question! Gotta pick 1 of their combo for quick selection or built your own combo. It goes by pounds of each seafood items. Wait time for food: no more than 10-15 mins. It came out pretty quick. Ordered: Combo A with extra sides added; flavor: Cajun seasoning (very buttery and juicy) Spice level: MILD; pretty spot on. Seafood Rice Noodle - MUST order Mozzarella cheese sticks - very cheesyOnion rings - crunchy; MUST order Cajun French fries - salty but yummy Server pretty consistent on filling our ice water. It was definitely needed. Provided us wet naps to clean our fingers. Gloves provided - 1 size fit allNapkins - enough to wipe hands if neededCon: bathroom area; not so appearing. Atmosphere seems to lack something; can't seem to pin point it. I guess, it felt more like fast food restaurant than dine in vibe. Give this place a try. Always nice to grab Crawfish dinner. Cheers!
