Rockin’ Crab & Boiling Pot — Restaurant in Gresham

Ordered the small shrimp plate and the small grab bag. We ordered it mild on the spice which was perfect. Slightly spiced so it just tickled the back of your tongue but also a little sweet which surprised me in a good way. I picked the garlic bread instead of rice, which was quite good. My mother enjoyed the crab, sausage, potato and shrimp. It did cost extra for her to get peeled shrimp(the grab bags usually come with whole shrimp fyi). The staff was friendly but they were a bit busy seemingly when we showed up so I waited around for awhile before being seated as no one seemed to notice us standing at the counter. I'll go back, the prices were pretty good and the food was very yummy. So expect to pay around $30 or so(menu can and does go higher) when ordering fyi. My small shrimp plate(which was a bit of food) was $14.99, large $21. My mother's small grab bag was $29, several bag options...

The food wasn’t good. I ordered Crawfish, clams, Dungeness crab, and 2 lobster tails totaling 154 dollars. The lobster was awful it was overcooked and rubbery we were really looking forward to that, the Dungeness crab was also like the lobster and while their portions and pricing isn’t terrible, it’s not worth what they serve you. Unlike other seafood boil restaurants you get the sides for free (not the case here) it’s 3 dollars for two small pieces of corn and a potato split into two EACH. The seasoning they use isn’t spicy or savory when you order it, it’s super sweet and almost ruins the taste of the meal, it’s the same seasoning they use on the fries which weren’t crispy (I know some don’t like crispy fries). Overall the meal just wasn’t good my major points are their seasoning is too sweet and they don’t know how to properly cook seafood. Clams were...

First trip, all was delightful. Cooked nicely and very reasonable priced for the amount of food. Second trip was pretty good; wait staff were slow but food was still more good than not. Third trip: service was super meh, drinks were just weird, boil was boiled to the point of disintegration, every dish had something off about it. The creole pasta was sweet (?), hot pot was bland, and did I mention the drinks were awful? The margarita had sugar on the rim, the old fashioned was sweet, and the daiquiri tasted like someone poured pińa colada syrup over ice. How much sugar is required to satisfy the needs of your average Gresham diner? I was supposed to get a blood draw tomorrow but I think I need to fast for a couple of days, first. The one decent part was the wings, but I don’t think I’ll try this...
