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
Steve M.

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?

Chargrilled Half Dozen Grill Oysters

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
Vivian L.

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.

The only thing I would consider ordering again is the seafood jajangmyeon. The jambalaya was underwhelming to say the least. I liked the corn over the rest of the apps. Then again, who can screw up corn?? The establishment have two floors but their first floor requires descending a few steps to access so one would wonder is that a basement. Top floor have the huge windows so every guest wanted to be up there. Toilet is in between the floors, in the middle of the staircase. Better watch your step, or else you would be rollin' with your Kjun!

It really shows in every order What impressed me even more--tonight I ordered delivery all the way to Uptown Manhattan (over 30 minutes away ), and the food still arrived tasting just as fresh and delicious as dining in. That's not easy to pull off, but they nailed it. That said, if you can dine in, I highly recommend it--especially the Combo 5 lbs seafood platter for $130 . It's perfect for sharing and gives you the full experience of what they do best. From flavor to consistency to service, Aqua Boil and their team truly stand out in NYC's food scene.

I came here to throw down on some seafood and that's exactly what we did. I found out about this place because one of my favorite TikTok foodies posted that she came here when she was visiting from Chicago. It was also my friend's birthday so we figured we'd check it out. If you come with a group of 4 or more, including the birthday person, they eat for free, which is a pretty nice perk. This place lived up to every bit of the hype. We did the $125 option which includes lobster. If you have people in your group who are on the fence about spending the extra money, just remind them it's only about $35 more and that's basically the cost of one lobster anywhere else. Here you're getting unlimited lobster. The food literally just kept coming. At one point we were running out of room on the table. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff noticed and started putting multiple items on the same plates instead of bringing everything out separately. It sounds small but it actually helped a lot and showed they were paying attention. The drinks weren't super strong but they definitely weren't weak either. If you love seafood, come hungry and bring a group. The vibes were great, the service was on point, and we left absolutely stuffed.

From the moment I…read morewalked in, the room struck that elusive balance New York diners crave laid-back but buzzing, with a live band lending just enough rhythm to keep the energy lifted without overwhelming the table. The service matched the mood: polished, attentive, and genuinely warm, the kind that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. The menu reads like a love letter to Creole indulgence, and I didn't hold back. The French toast arrived as a golden, impossibly soft, and rich with butter, dissolving on contact like a sweet airy cloud. It's the sort of dish that makes you briefly consider abandoning decorum and slipping into the kitchen to kiss the chef. Equally compelling were the grilled oysters and shrimp skewers, both deeply seasoned and cooked with precision. The oysters carried a smoky char that played beautifully against their natural brininess, while the shrimp snapped with freshness and spice. The crawfish Benedict followed suit, offering a clever twist on the classic: a perfectly poached egg perched atop a tender crawfish patty, all brought together by a hollandaise that felt distinctive without trying too hard silky, slightly tangy, and memorable. And then there are the mimosas; bright, balanced, and flowing freely thanks to a server who never let a glass sit empty for long. In a city overflowing with brunch contenders, this spot manages to stand out. It's confident without being flashy, indulgent without being excessive, and absolutely worth a visit.

The place was crowded, but we got a table on the second floor right away. For appetizers, we ordered the Honey Chili Brussels Sprouts and the Cajun Shrimp Skewers. Both were delicious with a ton of flavor. 5/5 for appetizers. For my entree, I had the Cornmeal-crusted Black Sea Bass. It was also really good. The fish was seared perfectly, the vegetables and lemon butter sauce combined with it perfectly. 4.5/5 for entree. For dessert, we shared the Hummingbird cake. I enjoyed the cake filling, which was coffee flavor, more than the rest of the cake. 4/5 for dessert. I think next time I might order the Beignets or Bread Pudding. The atmosphere gets a 5/5 for me. And the service was very good. I think this is a great restaurant to experience the New Orleans vibe without leaving NYC.

I ordered the 1lb shrimp, head on, mild garlic butter while my colleague ordered the 1lb crawfish, spicy juicy. I liked how it came in buckets. Too bad they only gave us one pair of gloves though. At our office, we work through lunch instead of having a set lunch break so that becomes twice as inconvenient. I have always been loyal to the garlic butter regardless of where I go so I did not know what to expect when I got a taste of my colleague's sauce. It was sour, spicy, salty, a lot going on at once. It was not bad but it was not my cup of tea. My own sauce on the other hand, was only flavored by salt and garlic. There was no butter flavor going on at all. Kind of disappointing. I really appreciated the amount of garlic though. My bucket was interesting because I found that my middle layer of shrimp had the same sauce as my coworker. Overall flavor profile was just salty though. They put way too much salt. As for the seafood itself, I would say it was ok. There was only a handful that did not seem all too fresh. The rest was alright. Would I order from them again? Sure. But only when I'm really craving seafood boil with no time to travel the distance for something else.
