Calvin’s Crab House

55 reviews for “Calvin’s Crab House”

1. We had the fish and chips. Because they were out of everything else, but it was delicious.

2. Best fish ever!! Would definitely recommend!

3. Nice scenery, polite service. Food tastes nearly identical to a driving range greasy spoon.. not impressed. My fried cod & baked, seasoned jo-joes & pickled jalapeno tartar sauce I make at home is about 100% better,..at a third the cost. And I can use my nice, clean bathroom….. Just expected better…I mean,.. food wise,.. facility wise…I mean…right on the ocean…?

4. You have a little jem on the bay~ Espresso, pastries, Take out seafood lunch specials.. and outdoor seating by the Straits of Juan de Fuca

5. Everything on the menu was great! 4/5 only missing the last star is the chowder, it tasted like clam water with potatoes in it. No cream, no seasoning, nothing. Other than that everything in the menu was great. My favorite was the salmon! Also try the energy drink.

6. Bar none the best halibut I’ve had ever – EVER. The tartar sauce wad also delicious (fries could be crispier but still excellent). Pick up a sugar cookie too. The icing was delish.

   It was suggested by someone at the Makah Museum (also a must-see).

   This is a great local stop if you are in Neah Bay or if you are on your way to Cape Flattery.

7. Good service but the clam chowder was basically just warm water with clams in it. Not thick at all. The crab was good but they serve it cold for some reason. The best part was the fries.

8. This was the best halibut I’ve ever eaten in my life! I would easily drive the 4.5 hours just to eat there again!

9. Really yummy fish and chips, perfectly cooked – even the tarter sauce was perfect

10. Cute little place, not busy. Unfortunately at 5:00 p.m. on a Saturday, they were out of almost everything. The fish and chips however were excellent and the the woman that assisted us was cheery and helpful. We will definitely be back, hopefully there will be some clam chowder.

11. This is the best fried fish I have had in my life. Fries were ok. People were friendly. I will compare all fried fish to this standard for the rest of my days.

12. The fish and chips were decent, I’m sure the haddock and chips would be better but I didn’t notice there was a difference until after I ordered. There are also baked goods. My wife said her cookie was delicious and my rocky road fudge was ok.

13. Good coffee, good fish n chips, chowder and pastries.. I’d return.

14. Delicious fish and fry. Very fresh food. Worth for the money.

15. I was recently in the Heah Bay area. This is the only coffee shop that you will find in the area. Very enjoyable espresso. Very thankful to have this luxury in a place like Neah Bay.

16. Great location and somewhat affordable food items. Pizza, soups, chowder, and fish and chips is their specialty. It was a good place to stop by and eat as their sitting area is better outside facing the ocean.

17. The workers were friendly and the place is clean with a great view. I got the fried salmon and chips. Great portion and it was delicious. I’ll come back next time I’m in neah bay

18. Fried halibut and chips were top notch. Perfect lunch, played some chess on the picnic tables overlooking the bay.

19. Great seafood good price will be back

20. Tiny place with chairs and Punic tables by the bay. A Small Family business . Fish is great! I let go of the chips. Cappuccino is better than expected at this little place . Bakery goods are top notch !

21. I’ve only had coffee and baked goods from here. Both have always been very good. I hear great things about their food.

22. Service was great. No crab. Halibut and fries were extremely disappointing.

23. Friendly service & good food. They were out of crab when we visited so we had prawns and fish & chips instead. Watch the Salish Sea from the Adirondack chairs while you wait for your order. We saw two cruise ships and several freighters!

24. What a wonderful little gem. Clean and friendly, with a huge bright display of homemade baked goods. We both had salmon and chips and shared a cinnamon roll. Everything made from scratch from the fresh moist fish to the home cut fries, and the cinnamon roll was lovely as well.

25. Delicious food, great spot to eat, cute store. Food was delicious! Would rate it a 5 but they didn’t have crab! It’s the way things go, but it’s in the name of the place so was confusing! Still recommend you eat here though! Beautiful spots to eat along the water. The wait was long since it was so busy and I highly recommend you don’t try to arrive near closing time. But that’s to be expected in the area so doesn’t affect the rating! Just a heads up!

26. Minimal indoor seating so you sit outside, but it can be windy and cool if it is clouded over. We had a halibut and a salmon dish – both were deep fried with French fries and rather heavy.

27. Excellent salmon chowder with boulder sized salmon chunks. Yes!

    Fish & chips, a bit too greasy for my taste, but still good enough to eat. Chips were in the cooker a bit too long.

    20 minutes for the order to be ready from time of order on a Tuesday at 1 pm. Very busy place. They guessed 25 minutes. Like most places I’ll wager it’s hard to find workers so all-in-all I appreciate the meal despite my observations. Nice workers, positive experience.

28. Food was decent, worker has a bad sense of timing she told us it would take 25 mins for Food and it took over an hour, if I would’ve known that I would’ve eaten somewhere else.

29. A hole-in-the-wall gem! Not much compares to eating salmon and chips while looking out at the boats that caught the fish. I’ve never had salmon so tender and flavorful, and everything was made fresh. Even the seasonal strawberry-watermelon lemonade had fresh fruit in it. Sitting outside is the best experience, but if the weather is bad they even have a nice little bar inside to sit and eat. The place was clean, the girl behind the counter was helpful and friendly, and the views were amazing. If you are visiting Cape Flattery and the Makah Museum, I can’t recommend Calvin’s Crab House enough!

    Parking: Calvin’s is about 30 yards off the main road along a gravel side road parallel to the water. Go past the veterans memorial. Parking is just along the shoulder wherever you can find a spot. However, the gravel road goes through on the other end, so getting out was no problem.

    Wheelchair accessibility: The building itself is not wheelchair accessible, but the ground outside is fairly level and firm, with picnic tables that should work.

30. It was absolutely delicious! Thank you!

31. Great customer service and delicious salmon fish and chips! Generous portions.

32. I ate a maple bar and a s’mores/rocky road bar(amazing btw) while waiting 45 minutes for my fish n chips, and I was extremely disappointed… Smallest portions of fish I’ve ever gotten. The fish and the fries were soggy.. save you money. There are so many way better places with way better portions..

33. An absolute must after a day at Cape Flattery and Hobuck Beach! Halibut fish and chips all the way. My son with crab and chips. Ate outside by the bay.

34. Fried fresh salmon pieces. Delicious.

35. Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Amazing. Super friendly, family run. Hope to be back soon!!!

36. Tiny place with lots of hustle and excellent seafood for casual dining. You can sit outside the restaurant at a picnic table or in an Adirondack chair facing the water with a stunning view.

37. The food was good, but for us, the ice cream was the highlight! Very creamy and rich! Nice views out front with seating facing the ocean.

38. Great fish and chips. Good prices. Nice people. Ate outside by the water.

39. Great lil place to stop for lunch. Busy and cramped but worth it all!

40. Beautiful setting and delicious fish n chips! The BlackBerry milkshake was soooo good🤗

41. We are sure glad we saw the sign for Calvin’s Crab House. Best halibut and chips we have had.

42. Visited on a Wednesday with only 20 minutes left before closing. Unfortunately they were out of crabs , but I got the salmon and chips and was very impressed with it. Perfectly seasoned and not overcooked with excellent French fries that seemed to be fresh cut potatoes. Also got the popcorn shrimp and that was cooked and seasoned perfectly as well. Would have loved to get a fresh crab while in the area , but was happy with our choices. I’d highly recommend if you are in the area around Neah Bay.

43. This is by far the best clam chowder I have ever had!! The Rhode Island style chowder is such a gilt free experience. So warming on a cold ocean side day! I went back for more after my first bowl!!

44. Loved it!
    The halibut was excellent, and the deep fried salmon, chunked up over romaine made a delightfully tasty “caesar” salad.
    We’d come back for sure!

45. Good food, but.. as always with young Gen z staff, a bit rude and ineffectual

46. Clam strips burned to crisp, oil in the chips fryey not changed all day. Bathroom is a smelly outdoor helholle. These guys do not try very hard, do they?

47. The halibut fish and chips and some of the best we have ever had! We loved the fries too, old school potato tasting fries. A must stop in Neah Bay

48. There were two ladies working when we came in, the older one was very rude. No greeting, seemed bothered that we needed to see the menu and didn’t order right away. Very expensive for what we got. We got clam chowder, it was mostly liquid, clear liquid. We got fish and chips, it was okay, nothing special. Had to pay for ketchup. Had two chai lattes, they were okay. I wouldn’t visit here again just based on service alone. The seating is all outside overlooking the water, loved that.

49. Big fat ok. Salmon Caesar was good. Fries were limp. Service was nice.

50. Great place to stop for a meal. Small operation so there will be a wait but not as bad as you think.

    Standard fried seafood and chips but the crab is fresh tasting.

51. Wonderful staff, but the fish & chips were just OK
    It might have been just me and my order because they are very busy.

52. Considering the location, pretty good. Would have rated higher but there was no crab or salmon.

53. No crab, no salmon…

54. Outstanding fish and chips! We had the salmon and the halibut. The fish was clearly fresh, and the portions were generous. The chips are fresh, whole cut potatoes and perfectly crispy. Heads up- They were only able to take cash the day we were there. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

55. This was an outstanding stop along our journey! We were towing a 5th-Wheel and had friends in an RV. We’d found out about this place from someone staying at one of the parks and saw several signs for it. We scored street parking and it was an easy walk over. The restaurant is small with limited seating, but no one else was there when we arrived, so we four had seats. Their fish and chips are great – as is their chowder(s). If you’re visiting Neah Bay – Calvin’s is worth a visit!
