I had dinner here last night, it was super busy and the staff was working their butts off, they were polite, stayed calm under pressure and the food was tasty! I think we’re lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant in our area. I could complain about the time it took to place my order and get my bill but I wasn’t in a hurry and I could see they were slammed and I understood that walking in. Great job to the people working! Thank you for a terrific dinner!

My friend and I shared two dozen oysters from this establishment. Within 24 hours, we both became quite ill, exhibiting signs of food poisoning. It has now been a week since we consumed the oysters and we are both still ill. I eat oysters regularly and have never had this issue before. I would not recommend eating raw oysters from this establishment. We initially noticed a slightly odd taste in a few of the oysters, but unfortunately we didn’t think it would be an issue, as it was fairly mild and they looked fine visually.

We enjoyed our night by celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, the food had good flavors and a decent selection on the menu. We sat in the restaurant area but next time we will try for the bar which I think has more atmosphere. Overall a good experience and we will go there again.

I cannot explain why this place has such high ratings. I’d rather eat seafood from a fisherman’s butt crack. Both my mother and I got sick and she stayed up all night puking. The oysters were good but can’t explain why they serve them with cocktail sauce (like that’s meant for cocktail shrimp… get a proper garnish). The mussels are good but also only come with butter literally no other spices whatsoever. The stew is a sad slop of seafood with only 5ml of liquid it can’t even be called a stew; the tomato sauce is its only flavour and it’s not even a flavour it’s literally just tomato. Considering the price you pay here you would expect the quality of the food to be better. The service started out weird, did not appreciate being interrupted by our server, he seemed quite miserable. It however ended great because he asked how our food was, we said not ideal, especially because my mom’s stew had cracked pieces of clam shells in it, and even tho we ate it all he decided to still take the stew off the bill - which was good customer service and not needed at all. I would still never come back here in a million years even if you paid me to.

Immediately upon entering we were greeted by Dusty who walked us through his recommendations. We followed his advice and got the crab bisque and the shrimp stir fry with the sweet Thai sauce. The food was great, but the service is what really stood out. Welcoming, caring, and sincere.

Typically a great place to eat….that being said, I was looking forward to a great meal tonight only to come in at 7:45 to being told they (and the restaurant) closed at 7 pm. ON MOTHER’s DAY Sunday night. We had to eat at the bar which was terrible.

Stopped by on a Saturday in March around 11:45am. Only two other customers sitting at the seafood bar so we had our choice of seats. Friendly server at the bar, delivered menus right away and took our drink orders. The Squaxin Island Signature Saute with shrimp and tequila lime sauce was super delicious and delivered hot on the plate within 5 mins after ordering. Sauteed vegetables were very fresh, shrimp were tasty and rice pilaf was also very good. Fish and chips with beer battered halibut was also served hot and was very tasty. Fries were crispy and fish was also crispy, hot and delicious.We were impressed with the food and service at this seafood bar/restaurant and highly recommend the Signature Saute dishes and fish and chips. We will return next time we are anywhere nearby.

What a very fun and unique experience. Nestled in the back, this seafood bar is fresh, welcoming, and consistently good. The person behind the bar is the one to take the order, will prepare the food, and drinks, and is right there to serve. Great selection of wine and beer. Even the house wines are nice. Amazing oysters, clams, muscles, and OMGosh the crab bisque, to die for. A full dinner menu is available too. Great place for beef lovers and seafood lovers to enjoy dining together.

My Thanksgiving experience at Squaxin Island Seafood Bar was nothing short of extraordinary, and I'm still savoring the delightful memories of a feast that exceeded all expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for a truly special holiday meal.The Thanksgiving menu at Squaxin Island Seafood Bar was a gastronomic masterpiece. Every dish was a symphony of flavors that showcased the culinary expertise of the chefs. From the perfectly roasted turkey to the decadent sides and scrumptious desserts, each bite was a journey of delight for the taste buds. It was evident that careful thought and attention to detail went into crafting a menu that celebrated the essence of Thanksgiving while adding a unique twist with the freshness of seafood.The service at Squaxin Island Seafood Bar was nothing short of top-notch. The staff's attentiveness and genuine hospitality enhanced the overall dining experience. From recommendations on the menu to ensuring our glasses were never empty, the level of service exceeded my expectations. The staff's passion for providing an exceptional dining experience truly shone through.While reveling in the deliciousness of the Thanksgiving spread, I couldn't help but wish that Squaxin Island Seafood Bar served their Thanksgiving menu more often. The combination of traditional Thanksgiving fare with the restaurant's signature seafood flair was a match made in culinary heaven. It's a testament to the creativity and skill of the chefs, and I would love the opportunity to indulge in such a delectable experience throughout the year.In conclusion, Squaxin Island Seafood Bar has set the bar high for holiday dining. If you're looking for a place that seamlessly blends a warm atmosphere, exceptional service, and a Thanksgiving menu that will leave your taste buds singing, look no further. My only regret is that Thanksgiving comes but once a year—I can't wait to return and relive the magic at Squaxin Island Seafood Bar!
