If you’re craving fresh seafood, fun vibes, and a side of ocean breeze, The Crab Pot Restaurant & Bar in Long Beach, California is your go-to spot! This laid-back, nautical-themed gem sits right on the waterfront at Rainbow Harbor, offering killer views and even better food. Their claim to fame? The SeaFeast — a giant pile of crab legs, shrimp, clams, mussels, potatoes, corn, and sausage steamed to perfection and dumped right onto your table. Yep, it’s messy, it’s delicious, and it’s a total experience. Throw on a bib, grab a mallet, and prepare to get cracking — it’s part dinner, part seafood smackdown. Not into shellfish warfare? No worries. The menu’s got everything from burgers and fish tacos to chowder in a sourdough bowl. Whether you’re rolling in with friends, family, or just looking to treat yourself to a good time, the Crab Pot mixes coastal chill with serious flavor. Bonus points for the full bar and tropical cocktails that’ll have you feeling like you’re on vacation. Sunset, seafood, and salty air — what more do you need? Next time you’re in Long Beach, pull up a chair at The Crab Pot and dive in. Just don’t forget the wet wipes.

Immediate seating for four at 5:45pm on a Saturday. Lively atmosphere with a nautical theme filled with enticing seafood aromas. Crab pot dinners were served steaming hot and full of flavor, with a clean and fresh taste throughout. Delectable and satisfying. Lots of good pickings among the meats, and everything enjoyable, including the sausage, potatoes, and corn on the cob. Two happy visits so far and ready for more.

Beautiful view specially at sunset! The waiter was very nice provided recommendations based on what we were asking/craving. The food was absolutely delicious ! We had the shrimp tray and added the crab to it. The lobster Mac and cheese was great too. I missed to take a picture of the warm beautiful perfect crisp bread , and the crab dip. Highly recommend you visit!

The wife and I had lunch on Monday. It was a great experience overall. We were seated on the patio with a nice view of the marina. I could have hit a boat with a tossed roll. We enjoyed the Seafest. Half the fun was getting all messy while eating delicious seafood. Everything was tasty, and Heather, the server, was friendly and attentive. We will definitely go back, and so should you.

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.

We had a birthday party here and really enjoyed it. The hostess was so great and gave us a table with a beautiful view. We have a wheelchair user in our party and the hostess and restaurant did an amazing job with accessibility and seating and overall making us feel warm and welcome. Stephen was our server and he was absolutely wonderful and did a great job with recommendations. We had a really great meal, none of us ever had this type of seafood boil before and it was a really fun experience.

we went there for brunch on jan. 1st. no wait, beautiful sunny day amidst a long raining week in so.cal. sitting outdoor by the ocean was wonderful. fish & chips was good, the soft shelled crab with (burger) buns tasted good but a bit too greasy for us. only few choices of beer but the one we selected was good so that's all it counts 😀 waiter is friendly & helpful and pleasant. we started the new year right so thank you. we'd recommend this place & shall be back

We have visited this place multiple times over the last 5+ years. The quality and quantity has remained consistent 👌 The bloody marry is a meal in and of itself! We love the location and the view. Fun for the family or a date ☺️

Love this spot. Right next to the marina, it was a perfect day to even eat outdoors. LOVE THE LOAF OF BREAD. Must get! Soup in the bread bowl? Yes please! Service and drinks were great! The seafood seemed over cooked and I got my oyster shooter last:(

Ordered the 2 person set, a pasta dish and a side of popcorn shrimp for a party of three. There was more than enough food to go around and the seafood was pretty fresh. It might sound strange that a beach side seafood restaurant and praising for it's freshness, but lately there's been some talks that some beach side stores still get their seafood frozen as a cost saving measure. I find those pretty disingenuous and I am pretty glad, at least for the dish we ordered, the seafood did not appear frozen.

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.

First time there. Atmosphere definitely awesome by the Marina. Food was for me okay. Not great not bad just okay. The drinks really strong if you like em like that. We had the shrimp tray with sausage,corn,and veggies. Also calamari with fries. I liked that the best. Overall, it's okay

It was nice and cold sitting outside. We asked to be seated in a sunny area and that didn't happen. They sat us in a shaded area and it was windy, and we asked them to turn on the heaters and 2 of the close ones to us wasn't working. They finally moved us to a table that was in the sun! Food was ok, but not worth the price. We ordered King Alaskan Crab table feast ($69 per person) and it wasn't what we expected. The pieces were small and thin. Not worth it.
