    Head on shrimp
    Regina F.

    Best seafood boil ever! The baked oysters are seriously awesome and the drinks come in fun little pouches. All the seafood is always consistency cooked perfectly and seasoned right. The kind crab was so tender and delicious this place is worth every penny. The staff is extremely helpful and attentive. I've celebrated a few birthdays here with family and big parties and they were very accommodating. You will not be disappointed

    I was in the area and I passed by this billboard for their happy hour deal. I had to check it out. My friend and I went inside to inquire about it and the person working said that it will be honored all night. So, we were happy as there was no cut off time that was on the sign. We got seated right away and we took our time ordering. Once we ordered everything came out but some took awhile. Overall, it was very filling. If you come for the happy hour meal, this is a great deal.

    Lobster

    Sub-par in every way. Ate there a couple years ago and it was great so my daughter took me there for Father's Day. I got lobster which was fine, but the clams were inedible because they were overcooked. Even though there were only three tables with customers, I had to ask several times for a second pair of sheers. The waiter finally brought them after I was done eating. Also, there was only one cracker and no picks at the table. They were generous enough to give us two plastic forks though. My daughter was having crab legs and we had to share one set of utensils. How do you run a restaurant like that?

    Th service was good. I ordered the alligator and chargrilled oysters. Oysters were good, alligator was tiny and didn't taste like much. My friend ordered the lobster roll. It has plenty lobster and tasted okay. The shrimp ehh I'd give the shrimp a 2/5. I can't remember which adult Capri Sun I had but it was good and strong. Ambiance was cool, I liked the music they played. It was pretty dark inside though. You can't really tell if it's open from the outside.

    Came here with a group of friends for a birthday dinner and it was actually a very nice experience. The service was great; the ambiance was a little loud but not chaotic. I ordered their capri sun drinks which was their twisted peach ice tea. It was not too sweet and the right amount of strong liquor. When I checked in, I was able to order a free side so I ordered their Brussel sprouts to enjoy with half a pound of shrimp and half a pound of mussels with their claw daddy special sauce (mild). I was a bit disappointed that the food came in a small pot instead of in a bag, I feel like the bag preserves the sauce and the flavor. The mussels and shrimp was very good but the Brussels sprouts were definitely the winner of the whole meal. They were roasted and just melted in your mouth. I would return if I'm in the area.

    Grilled oysters

    I've been here many times and the service is always great and the waiters are always friendly. The happy hour appetizers are great and the drinks are usually strong. However I came on a Tuesday night and I had one of my worst experiences dining out in a very long time. We ordered some drinks and appetizers for happy hour. I ordered a cocktail and my friend ordered a mock tail When the drinks came out, after all our food mind you, they were both mock tails. We spoke with our waitress tiamara, she began to argue with us. I've never had a waitress argue and gaslight me about what I ordered and basically made up a conversation in her head about what happened. She insisted that she asked us whether or not they were both mock tails but she never asked us about that. I've been going here for years, before and during covid. But If this is how the wait staff is trained to handle a situation like this, then I will not return to this establishment. It would've been so easy to not ruin someone's dinner by arguing with us. The service here used to be great and the food was great too. But it has clearly gone down hill. Tiamara was whispering to all the waiters and no one came to check on us and she made our experience super awkward the rest of the night, The food was good and they oysters are fresh, I guess. But if you want to be yelled at and gaslit for your order this is the place to go. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area where you don't have to be yelled at for your waiter messing up your drink order.

    Secret drink that's really delicious, but I had too many and can't recall the name
    Lora R.

    So I really, really, really was craving oysters and ended up last week at Claw Daddy's for happy hour. I started with a Moscow Mule capri sun drink that was on the menu, grilled oysters and the crawfish queso. The oysters were a little disappointing in their lack of meatiness... not sure if that was because they were offered at happy hour? The crawfish queso was better, but needed some spice, and the drink was too sweet. So this sexy guy seated near me at the bar suggested that I have an off-the-menu drink, which I cannot remember the name of because he bought me several lol, but it and our bartender, Ryan were priceless. The sexy silver fox buys me wings, and gator bites... enjoyable, crispy wings. I tried to like the alligator bites, but I wasn't excited and decided that they were just okay. The happy hour vibe was chill, and I enjoyed the off-the-menu drink, but I was not impressed by the oysters, which is the main reason I went to Claw Daddy's. I am hoping that the rest of the menu is as great as those chicken wings.

    Shrimp with Claw Daddy Sauce
    Christina W.

    Arrived on a Sunday with a reservation at around 12:30PM, and the entire restaurant was empty. More guests started arriving later. We kicked off with some drinks, all pretty tasty, and in those adult Caprisun like pouches! We then ordered crawfish poppers, some Brussel sprouts, grilled oysters, and fresh oysters. The oysters tasted fresh, and the grilled oysters were delicious! They don't compare to if you were to get them in New Orleans, but I still recommend them as they're so different from fresh ones, especially if you're not a big fan of the texture of fresh oysters. We continued with crab legs, shrimp, and mussels with the claw daddy's sauce in mild and medium. We added some andouille sausage as well, but I'd say for the 7 of us, it was pretty filling! In terms of sauce, I feel I've definitely had some tastier ones, but I'd still come back to Claw Daddy's for sure!

    My sister's art while we waited lol

    We recently dined at the Manhattan location of this restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience! I had previously enjoyed the Brooklyn location, so I wanted my sister to experience it too. Though we intended to return to Brooklyn, a mix-up led us to Manhattan, and they did not disappoint! We enjoyed every dish we ordered, from the chicken for the meat-eater to my favorite grilled oysters, to the boil, fries, and drinks. We ordered quite a bit and took home leftovers. Our server, Segundo, was delightful and very helpful with our choices. There were three of us, and we waited briefly at the bar for the last person to join us. Shoutout to the pleasant bartender! The manager, Tony, greeted everyone at the door, making us feel comfortable as soon as we entered. We will definitely return because the food and staff made it a lovely night. I had the claw boil with the Claw Daddy sauce, mildly spicy--it was so good! The garlic pasta was delicious, and I could eat it every day. The mac and crawfish was creamy and flavorful. The Cajun fries were seasoned to perfection, and the crawfish queso dip is a must-try! My sister enjoyed her chicken wings and the creole shrimp and chicken jambalaya. Just a tip: eat while hot, as it can taste salty when cold. Reheating and having a cold drink works wonders! I highly recommend this restaurant and will visit both locations whenever I crave grilled oysters and claw boils. The music playlist was nice; I'd love to hear some Afro beats next time. The place got super busy after we arrived, but the service remained on point and pleasant. Tip: Check in on Yelp while there to get a free side dish of your choice--super cool, though they only allow one per table.

I've been coming here for years, and the quality of the food continues to keep me coming back. During this visit, I ran into a recurring issue with my lobster. It was carrying a large amount of roe, which I was actually happy about because I enjoy it and didn't want any of it to go to waste. However, the roe deep inside wasn't fully cooked during the initial steaming process. I had to go back and forth with Ash and the kitchen staff several times, but they remained patient, attentive, and committed to making sure everything was cooked properly. Ash, one of the managers, provided excellent customer service throughout the experience. While I was waiting, he kindly offered me a complimentary cup of New England clam chowder, which was absolutely delicious and very much appreciated since I was starving. Before leaving, I also ordered two more 2 lb. steamed lobsters to go. I explained my concern, and the staff made sure they were thoroughly cooked before packaging them. Both were perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. I truly appreciate the team's dedication to customer satisfaction and their willingness to make things right. Their excellent service, combined with consistently great seafood, is why I've remained a loyal customer for years. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. Thank you!
