Sunday brunch did not disappoint. The server was engaging and not stingy with the mimosas. For a buffet brunch the food was great quality. The restaurant was clean and well taken care of.

Seafood

Long Beach

About the restaurant

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.

So cute with all the holiday decorations! At first we were seated outside in the drizzle but they moved us to an apartment door table which was so much warmer. Great service & tasty food. The drinks were strong & delicious with cute rubber ducks, a plastic reindeer, umbrellas…..the works. We loved the experience:)

The reservation process through Open Table went well. The Restaurant was clean and comfortable. The staff does an exceptional job. The salmon with mashed potatoes and veggies was great. Generous portion. Perfectly seared and all the right flavors. The short rib was served on a bed of mashed potatoes and veggies. Everything was delicious and the portion size was generous. The views are unsurpassed. I've been here several times and they never dissappoint..

This is our second time enjoying this brunch. The food is excellent, big variety of everything, Mexican, Italian, seafood, desserts, American. I wish they had a salad bar with more choices. The ambience was fantastic. Big part of it was the live band playing. Bossa Linda set the place on fire with their music. Service was excellent, we had Alejandra as our server and she was very attentive. Overall , great experience. Maybe they should have a dress code to make it more elegant. Some people were dressed very nicely with long dress and tights and others were in shorts and flip flops, not for the queen mary . Especially if you are paying $120 plus tip per person.
