I can't explain it. You have to try it. I come from mosier and I knew I needed the day in Portland and enjoy this. I have to say this was worth it 100%. I'm not a seafood person, I came for my son for a 1:1 time and he was so grateful that I brought him here. The lady was friendly and again, I loved the ambiance and area. 100% recommend

Great food!!! Nice little food cart pod with several other food options in case someone you are with doesn't like seafood as well as a bar! However, the seafood boil was amazing. My lady and I shared an order of "Datdayumbag" and were blown away. We've been to bag o crab and we both agreed that we would be happy to choose The Drip N' Crab due to it being a local business!! The people working at the window were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

I'd literally follow this food truck anywhere. The staff is so unbelievably helpful, the flavors are amazing, and the seafood is so reasonably priced! Nobody does it better than the ladies working here. Everytime I show up they have a smile on there face and I'm just as happy because I know I'm going to be eating the most delicious seafood boil Portland has to offer. This food cart needs like 100 stars. This will forever be my comfort food spot.

In amongst about a dozen food carts at the CORE cart pod (a few blocks south of 82nd and Powell), is a totally unique cart that serves Southern style seafood boil. Nicely seasoned (Cajun spices) food at a good price point (you know seafood is gonna be more $$ than usual cart offerings). Since we weren't too hungry, we ordered the Alberta grab bag............and it is as advertised: a crap shoot of assorted items from their menu at a discounted price. For a bit over a 10 spot, we got a whole sausage link, half cob of corn, 2 small red potatoes, and a small partial snow crab cluster. Were hoping for a bit more seafood but again, it's a grab bag. And it was very tasty, coated/drenched in buttery cajun spices. The menu is small with less than 10 entrees total. Expect to spend about $20/head for a meal and expect to get grubby (though they do give you plastic gloves!). The one thing that I found almost untenable was the extremely long cook time. 40-50 cooking time?! And it wasn't even busy this early Sunday evening. Is the long wait worthwhile? Only if you have plenty of time and a strong craving Cajun crab boil. But this cart is located in a pretty strong diverse cart pod (CORE), so this will be my future strategy for eating here. Order a meal from here, knowing that crab will be your main entree. But also order items from 2 or 3 other carts to serve as appetizers or 1st courses (and eat 'em) since you WILL BE WAITING for crab. Now to review the CORE cart pod!
