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.

    We recently had the pleasure of dining at King’s Fish House in Long Beach, and it was an experience worth sharing! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm that set the tone for the evening. Our waiter, Francisco, truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable meal. His attention to detail and genuine care for our dining experience was evident throughout the night. He not only kept our glasses full but also made sure our table was clear of any clutter. It was clear that he and his co-workers were well-trained and worked seamlessly as a team, making sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. One of the highlights of our visit was the tranquility of dining on a Monday night. The restaurant was pleasantly less crowded but had an abundance of attentive staff. This perfect combination allowed us to enjoy a leisurely meal, where we didn’t feel rushed and could savor the delightful seafood offerings. The menu at King’s Fish House is a seafood lover’s dream, with fresh catches and expertly prepared mouthwatering dishes. Every bite was a testament to the quality and freshness of the ingredients used. With each savory dish, it was apparent why this place had such a loyal following. I wholeheartedly recommend making a Monday night reservation at King’s Fish House. You’ll benefit from the superb service and delight in a more relaxed atmosphere that allows for great conversation and enjoyment. With a stellar team like Francisco and the rest of the waitstaff, it’s clear that this location prioritizes a top-notch dining experience. In short, King’s Fish House in Long Beach exceeded all expectations. Between the delicious food, attentive service, and the perfect ambiance, it’s a place I look forward to returning to week after week. Thank you, Francisco and team, for an unforgettable evening!

    This was our first time eating at Parker lighthouse. We found the service excellent and the food we had was fine. My husband really enjoyed the fish and chips. However, my clams were mediocre. The Mediterranean  was generous and very tasty. I did order a latte which was not great and I did return it. I certainly will return to this restaurant at a later date when I’m in the area.
