Claw Daddy's has been our go-to for crawfish for as far back as I can remember. They've been in business here on the MS Gulf Coast for many years and have consistently delivered some of the best crawfish you can find. I remember back in the day when prices were pound were less than two bucks but now they are usually $4-5 depending on what part of crawfish season they are in and how big they are. They also offer other stuff like shrimp but I've only ever gotten the crawfish and some sides. They also offer platters that include 3 pounds of crawfish and sides. The spicy crawfish here do have a kick at first, but they aren't unbearable. That first one will get your lips burning so be warned if you're a lightweight. Their regular flavor has a slight kick but is very flavorful. I am not sure what all they use for seasoning but it is a complex blend with an array of different spices that are very good. I recommend you try their sides like potatoes and corn cooked in the same boil with the crawfish so the flavor gets infused into them. Definitely get a side of their butter to pour over the potatoes and you're in for a treat. We ordered 10 pounds worth in late March and the sides were what I'd considered medium with a handful that I'd consider large. This meant you will put some extra work in eating them but they were still good. On average, you can expect 3-4 ounces of meat per pound so take that into consideration when purchasing. While they do have a few outside tables, this isn't exactly a restaurant and there are no indoor tables. Most people get their orders to go here, and they do often sell out so don't go too late in the day or you may not get any on busy days. read more

Fantastic experience! The staff are incredibly friendly at this place. They helped us make a decision and everything panned out nicely. Claw daddy's sits just off 49 and the have large sized picnic tables so you can sit and enjoy your crawfish or you can easily take them to go. We opted for five pounds of crawfish with potatoes,eggs, and mushrooms for sides. They gave us the hot seasoning and everything was so tasty. They also have alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages for sale as well as seasonings and t-shirts. We also loved the artwork they have on their walls. I am looking forward to my in-laws next visit because I know we will be bringing them here! read more

We purchased two 38-lb sacks of crawfish, and when we started going through them we had to remove roughly a 5-gallon bucket of dead crawfish from one of the sacks. That's a significant amount of loss when you're paying for full sacks, and as a customer there's really no practical way to verify the condition of the crawfish at the time of purchase. When I contacted the business, their response was to bring the dead crawfish back so they could evaluate them. Unfortunately that wasn't a realistic solution since we had a group of people at my house at that moment waiting to eat. Leaving the party to load up a bucket of dead crawfish and drive back to the store just wasn't practical. I'm not sure what the right solution would have been, but the response didn't feel very helpful given the situation. It was a frustrating experience, especially since we ended up short on crawfish for everyone because of how many were dead. read more

Crawfish was really good had amazing flavor . I'd rate them 7.5 which is very good. The owners were very nice and friendly. read more

Not the worst. Kindof greasy. Wasn't used to be offered spice levels or sizes of crawfish. Not a norm where I'm from but can see how people would like the options. read more

I love this place! I maybe a little biased. I have been going here for years. They have and well known for their crawfish. I mainly have getting my fresh boiled crawfish from here. They are very flavorful and boiled just right in my opinion. I actually held off for this review because I wanted to get a full review on the fresh fried turkey. This is mainly a take out restaurant. Well worth it if you are in the area. They have been doing fried turkey during the holidays. It is not a recent thing, but have been doing this for a while now. I just finally bit the bullet and decided to give it a try this year. Many restaurants use to do this technique. Many have stopped doing this because of the dangers involved in frying turkey. Today, only a handful of restaurants do this. I am glad to know that they offer this service. They offer fresh seasoned and fried turkey for sale or they can season and fry your turkey you bring in. They fry up to a certain size. Any bigger, they will accommodate you for extra fee. Please reach for availability and prices. Our turkey we had them fry for us turned out great! It was full of flavor and very delicious! Especially the reason we had it fried. It retained the moisture and the skin was extra crispy. I nibbled on it the way home. The smell of fresh fried turkey filled my SUV up on the drive home. Remember to be cautious when heating up by the oven. It may dry out quickly. But on the other hand, it does keep the skin crispy tho. If you do this, it makes a big difference if it is eaten warm or add gravy the next day. In my opinion. It is near the Gulfport area near the International Airport off Highway 49. They have a pretty good parking lot. It can be a challenge if they are crowded at times. Do not be discouraged; the traffic quickly goes by. Parking is close in front of the restaurant. As you walk in, the wonderful smells of fresh food and spices fill the air. Just the smell makes you crave fresh boiled seafood! No wifi I can see. If it is, maybe password protected. No military discount available at this time. This is a very spot. I will definitely be back for my fresh boiled crawfish, shrimp, and crab needs. read more

Service was great and food was delicious. I would recommend this business to anyone!

Local favorite! Claw Daddy's has been around for many years. It is always a staple restaurant when I'm visiting. Upon arrival, it wasn't busy, so we were able to order right away. We ordered about 6-7 pounds of crawfish and 1 pound of it were hot and the rest were mild. The crawfish had a great flavor and the hot had a kick to them. They also were a decent size for crawfish. The corn, potatoes, eggs were also delicious. They had the perfect blend of butter and seasoning. The prices were reasonable as well. Claw Daddy's is always good and never disappoints. If you're looking for crawfish on the coast, check them out! read more

First time to try them. Absolutely delicious!!! Great seasoning and spice!!! Definitely comes highly recommended! Great customer service as well!!!! Try them out!!!! read more

I like their crawfish. I usually stop here when I'm close by the area. I'll have to try the shrimp next time

Claw Daddy's let's you choose your heat. The regularly seasoned crawfish were perfect for me. They were perfectly seasoned and very flavorful. My hubby likes a bit more spice so he selected the hot seasoned crawfish. He said that they were definitely hot with spice and he enjoyed them. read more

My spouse brought home crawfish last night. Crawfish were mushy and over cooked. When I walked through the front door the smell from the crawfish was terrible, an immediate turn off and an immediate indication that something was wrong. The vast majority went directly in the garbage. Not sure if this was just a bad night for the cooks but we will not be going back. Worst crawfish I have ever purchased.... read more

I purchased 2 10lbs bags 1 was spicy and the other was half done half u cooked I love clawdaddys and understand the mess up that occurred but I would give 5 stars if I could get a redo with my order thx read more

This place is so good their prices are amazing and they have perfect size for you and they have anything you need

Crawfish was way over cooked and mushy. Go to Gulf Fresh Seafood a $1.00 more but way worth it especially if you're buying 25 lbs.Claw dads The worst ever I would never recommend this dive Go to Gulf Fresh seafood down the road for way better CRAWFISH. Really, for crawfish don't go there read more

This place has some of the best crawfish around! Usually there's a line that goes out the door so come early or call your order in. We usually order about 20 to 40 lbs of crawfish when we order. Sides are offer as an additional add on like most places but, we usually buy all of our sides from Walmart and cook it ourselves because it's so much cheaper that way. I can't remember if there is an option to request nonspciy, mild or spicy. But, I believe they do offer those options. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for good crawfish in the Gulfport area! read more

We got two seafood boils that were extremely generous portions and seasoned so well. It was delicious! We were visiting gulf port for a holiday and are not local. If your visiting and love real Cajun boils this is the place. read more

Been here twice for crawfish and both times they were mushy. Over cooked. Will not be going back.

Just no. They were recently voted best crawfish so I just had to try it . They sold me a bag of cold cooked crawfish. Once I put my crawfish in the fridge I can't eat them anymore. I wanted fresh hot crawfish. They were nice enough to give me a refund so 3 starts read more

This is the only place to come and get your crawfish!!!!! This place has been here for years! And because of that I will always make it a point to stop here whenever I am in the area during crawfish season. They always have the best tasting crawfish, perfectly seasoned and the the corn and potatoes that are drenched in butter taste amazing!!!!! From 15 years to today this place hasn't missed a beat, consistency and perfection should be what Clawdaddy's is known for. As long as it's standing this will be my forever place to eat crawfish from!!!! read more

I wanted to love this place but 1 pound of shrimp for $11 was not the problem, it all being overcooked where it was hard to peel the shrimp was so disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I love the small establishments like this, but expected them to know how to cook peel & eat shrimp. Mushy shrimp sucks! Not good. read more

These folks are hustling and selling a lot of crawfish. Got two pounds of mild and one pound of hot. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly. Also got some sausage, potatoes, and mushrooms. It was an inexpensive feast. I sure wish they'd take proper safety measures during a pandemic by wearing masks. read more

We came here the Sunday before Fat Tuesday on our way from New Orleans to Biloxi. We ordered the low country boil and we're not informed they were out of crawfish until the food arrived. You'd think they'd make it up with shrimp but instead we got like 12 shrimp 1 tiny cluster of crab legs tons of sausages, corn and potatoes. Then I thought maybe they won't charge us for the full $45 menu price. Nope. Wrong again. They didn't serve us the craw fish but went ahead to charge us for it anyways. I can only eat so many sausages so we left about 9 in our plate because we felt like that's all we were eating. Slow service too. We had already had a bit of a back and forth with the waitress over clarifying the menu and why there were no crawfish on our plate which is when she said oh bcz there're out. I won't be back. Highway robbery:( read more

Wow, just wow. Best crab I've had in years, brought tears to my eyes. I'm visiting family from Arizona; however, I will make it a point from now on to stop here every time I'm in town. read more

This place was recommended to us from some friends. This was our first crawfish experience and it was good, there's just nothing for me to compare it to. The shrimp and corn was amazing. The staff helpfully taught us how to eat them! Glad we tried it. read more

I've only ever ordered live crawfish from here. The customer service isn't great. It's not that they're rude but it's just it a very welcoming atmosphere. It's good for what it is I suppose. read more

The crawfish were cold, bland and the spice level was not hot at all and the shrimp were over cooked! Very disappointed as I drove from D'iberville. I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

If you only want take-out, then this might be okay. We were just passing through and there's no seating anywhere. And who wants to eat boiled seafood in your car? read more

Great food but such bad service.. one person working the counter and everyone else just watching. Been inside the building for 30mins and still haven't ordered.... read more

$4.30 per pound but sooo worth it! Their seasoning is spicy and full of juicy flavor! The long line went fast and they close early (6pm) so get it before they run out! Ask for the butter and seasoning mix on top! I wouldn't get the boiled shrimp again though because it was over cooked and mushy. read more

Great crawfish, live and cooked. Friendly service and great food. Be sure to stop here when in Gulfport!

Great. Birthday night celebration our waiter Alex was superb, customer service excellent 100%.Thank you Claw Daddy Alex you nailed it.

Omg is all I can say about the boiled crawfish. The crawfish was seasoned very well. They offer mild and spicy boiled crawfish. The boiled potatoes with some GOOD butter and seasoning on top is so good. I really enjoyed the crawfish the meat was not Hard or over cooked. I will need to try the crabs and shrimps on my next visit. read more

In town for work and couldn't wait to get my crawfish fix. I wasn't disappointed at all. This place is a bare bones, get your food and go place and I mean that in a good way. Even my coworkers who are locals have never been here before said the food was really good. Not much space to eat in but the girl at the counter was nice enough to let us eat out back. The price for what you get is unbeatable. The only thing I would've changed was the level of spice. It needed to be kicked up a little. Other than that, an excellent meal. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town for work and try some of the other things on the menu. read more

Love me some claw daddy's!!! Always greeted and nice, and them bugs and shrimp are always good to go. RECOMMEND THE FRIED JALAPEÑOS.

This is the best crawfish I've had to date. Seasoned and cooked perfectly!! The potatoes melted in your mouth and the corn was amazing! My mom got the catfish and loved it. Said it didn't taste fishy like some catfish does. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone! Super friendly and accommodating staff as well! read more

This place is awesome!! They are always packed when I come to get Crawfish. You can either get them by the pound, live or boiled. Or you can get platters. Don't like Crawfish? No problem they also have Shrimp and sometimes Crab. They also have Potatoes, Corn, Sausage and Mushrooms. They also have bottled drinks, and if u are getting live Crawfish to fix them at home, they have the seasoning they used packaged too. read more

Stopped in a bought 2 lbs.. Shrimp and 10 pounds of crawfish. Both are over cooked. I called and got a smart mouth girl named Brittany on the phone who proceeded to tell me that they were not Overcooked and that they poke holes in their shrimp. Being from the MS Gulf Coast and eating shrimp for close to fifty years I know that when you can't peel the shrimp and it falls apart in your hands that's from one thing... BEING OVERCOOKED!!!! Beware! To many other nice places that do shrimp and crawfish right. And that you don't haft to deal with a smart mouth. read more
