Came on a Saturday late afternoon, our party of 4 was the only one dining in their outdoor seating area. We came for their happy hour. Their HH menu is pretty good, with $1 oysters and wings and $1.50 grilled oysters and clams. We ordered a dozen of each. The raw oysters were fresh and really loved the grilled oysters with the butter and Parmesan cheese. Also, we have to talk about their adult caprisun drinks! The waitress gave good suggestions on which flavor to try and she did not disappoint. The Mardi Gras was my favorite, and is one of the stronger drinks. Also tried the fairytale and strawberry frose! read more

Employees could have been nicer and the vibe is a bit pretentious but food was great. My friend and I shared grilled oysters from the happy hour menu, plus crab cake fritters, Cajun fries and king crab legs. Everything was very tasty and it was definitely enough food for the two of us. However: I liked The Boil more. Don't @ me. read more

This spot was great. It's NY so parking is t great but there's a garage right around the block. Made a reservation and sat inside, temp checks and masks- sat immediately clean table, fresh clean paper. I had a raspberry refresher, it was ok. My friend had a mojito and was not impressed. We started off with alligator bites, they were great! Comes with a horse radish sauce. We then got a boil of 1 lb clams 2 lb crawfish 2 lb king crab and 1 lb snow crab. For the 3 adults this was enough. This came with potatoes and corn.. it was very very good. We had it water boiled and asked for all the sauces they had in cups so we can try them all! Out of the 5 they gave us we found butter garlic & the plain butter to be the hands down best!! We also had the French fries which were very good. Gloves, lobster bib and wipes were all provided also the best utensils for seafood. Over all really enjoyed this place and we will for sure be back! Thank you! read more

The boiled stuffs do not taste that great, but the happy hour menu ($1 oyster/wing, $1.5 baked oyster/clam, $6 bear, 8 cocktails) makes them standout. Baked oyster was good, so as the caprisun style cocktails. They also this interesting lounge area (upstairs) where you can order mostly everything but the boiled items. read more

Really bad service. When we arrived, the host told our party that they weren't serving seafood boils for an hour, but that we could start with some appetizers and they'd be up and running soon. We agreed, ordered some appetizers, and waited... and waited... and waited. Then when we asked again they said they were not serving at all for the night. Sooooo... they baited and switched our party of four for a $100+ bill (plus automatic gratuity). Not classy. At all. read more

Let's talk about the HH deals - $1 oysters but the real deal is $1.5 grilled oysters and clams were amazing. I especially loved the grilled clams! We got the Claw Daddy sauce in medium and spicy. Honestly the medium was perfect for me. I especially enjoyed the shrimp, head on, so it will juicy! Restaurant set up was very casual, there's seatings at the bar, nothing to comment on Between this and The Boil, hmm it's pretty even in terms of flavor. The server was not attentive read more

Made reservations the same day. The front door guy was incredibly helpful, nice, and friendly. The host could've been better, seemed like he didn't want to be there. Once you walk in the vibe was cool. Love the 90's R&B music. The food was excellent and it didn't take long to get it. The Capri sun drinks I thought is strong but good. I had a good buzz going after 3 sips lol. You can't beat $1.00 oysters for happy hour and they were good. Happy hour ends at 6:30. They had other stuff during happy hour. Lobster roll was incredible There opening up another place later this year. Really good seafood. read more

OH MY! Enjoyed everything! Food, club-like ambience, bartender, bathrooms, clean and accommodating. NICE HAPPY HOUR SPECIALS I tried the $8 Capri drinks from $11 and had my first grilled oyster for $1.25 and it was amazing! All before 7:30 pm Will go for simply butter and garlic next time for the flavor (I don't need spicy crabs if not old Bay) but they brought a small container full of crushed garlic for $1 extra and it made allllll the difference! Brussels a bit overcooked to my liking BUT the flavor was amazing and on point. 1 lb snow crabs, Brussels, Capri Dream drink and club soda. Mixed my club with the Dream drink to water it down...and make more I had a nice buzz before, during, and after my meal with that ONE drink. Just enough food for me to feel satisfied (I WAS going to get two lbs!) All drinks were in the Capri pouches. Very cute! Liked the notes in unisex bathroom. Looking forward to checking out again when I need a crab fix! read more

Got it to go. Large portions, more than I expected but the flavors weren't strong enough for me

My taste buds were screaming for crabs and a friend of mine recommended Claw Daddy's. I'm a sucker for neighborhood gems so of course I was down for the claws! The staff were super pleasant and warm. We went on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was very quiet. It is really nice laid back atmosphere. Food: YUM!! Well the stone crabs! The conch fritters were good. But nothing to go crazy about. We've all had them at some point from a restaurant in Miami. Now back to the stone crabs! Keep in mind they are market priced. We went with the medium size which was about $35. They are served with melted butter and mustard sauce. Note: Stone Crabs are seasonal usually between October and May. read more

I have been to Claw Daddy's several times. Service is amazing. Their happy hour is great! $1 Wings and $1.50 Fried Oysters (both so good)! I always order a lobster roll sandwich, which is delicious. Drinks are served in capri-sun packets and are $8 each for happy hour. I recommend this place to everyone! read more

I'm a big fan of seafood boils, so I was so excited to try out Claw Daddy's. Luckily for me and my friend we got a chance to come during their happy hour, so we were able to take advantage of their $1 oysters and $7 adult caprisuns. Since the happy hour special was going on, I tried 3 different flavored caprisuns: the Mardi Gras, the Fairytale, and one with the count purée -- similar to a pina colada. My favorite of all 3 was the Fairytale. I was feeling it after my second one! Haha Try the grilled oysters! They are a must. My friend who doesn't eat oysters at all really enjoyed these. They are packed with so much flavor. I wish I had ordered more. The raw oysters are good as well. For the entree my friend and I shared 2 lbs Of head on shrimp (this is more than enough for 2 people) the boil sauce is a tomato based sauce, which I wasn't a total fan of. It was pretty think and more like a gravy. Still tasty, but I just prefer the sauce to be a little thinner. read more

I had went here for my birthday back in 2021 and the food was great!!!! The lobster roll sandwich, I just couldn't finished. I had eaten outside and I love how they built the shed, it looks really cozy for groups. Also, I had notice that they tip the waiters directly from your card, I guess so they can get paid from patrons, but I don't like it. I like to tip people in cash. I like the service that I receive from here, but didn't like how I had to scan to pull up menu and create password. The bathrooms were clean, a plus for me and it reminded me of a club, but individual stall that you locked behind you. read more

Came here for their awesome happy hour deals- $2 grilled oysters and $3 off their fun Capri sun pouch drinks! Need I say more? The vibe of Claw Daddy reminds me of The Boil. Their menu is very similar, featuring seafood dishes, sandwiches, fritters, and customizable boils. They also have an extensive drink menu with a ton of soju cocktails and mojitos. My friend and I walked in on a Monday night for happy hour and got a table easily. Service was so friendly and attentive. I ordered a Pineapple and Coconut Mojito pouch, a set of 6 grilled oysters (minimum of 6 per order) and the Crab Cake fritters. My drink was very fruity and sweet, although strong. They definitely don't skimp on the rum here. The grilled oysters were so juicy and fresh, seasoned with a garlic, parmesan rub/sauce. I would have ordered more but I needed something heavier. The Crab Cake were condensed mini crab cakes. They were fun, bite-sized snacks but I did find myself missing the feeling of biting into a larger crab cake and tasting chunks of crab meat. This is a great spot for seafood lovers. I would love to come back for more happy hour deals and to try their po-boys! read more

Love the grilled oysters , raw oysters, and shrimp with head here! I got the mild claw daddy sauce with my shrimp the first time and it was on the bland side. When I got the medium claw daddy sauce the second time I visited, it was a bit spicy and yummy! The second time we got the crab legs, my boyfriend really loved it but I think I prefer getting shrimp! The raw oysters are $1 and grilled oysters are $1.50 which is such a great deal!!! Also, the grilled oysters reminded me of New Orleans grilled oysters which I am a huge fan of. read more

Soooooo, the 2 stars is for SHEENA, our server. Honestly, Sheena deserves 10 stars! She was a gem! Very attentive, professional and down to earth. That said - the food was interesting. The clam chowder lacked flavor so I sent it back. Our amount of food in our seafood boil was very underwhelming (see photo). They didn't have proper mini forks and the alcohol selection is VERY minimal. We actually went to a bar around the corner after we left. I like the concept of Claw Daddy's but I left hungry and not very satisfied with the food so I won't be back. read more

Came here last night to celebrate a friend's birthday and everything was perfect! First off, if you make reservation and it's a party of 8 or more then they will need your credit card but since mine was only 6 people they were willing to take it over the phone. As for the location, it's in LES and it's not far from the "F" train. The staff was very friendly and helpful, esp when suggesting how much food we should order to accommodate the group. As for their happy hours, it doesn't end till 7:30pm and what's great about it is that our waitress actually swinged by around that time to check on us and see if we wanted to order seconds. Their seafood was also very tasty, especially their snow crabs. Let's just say when I crack their legs, it actually break instead of bending so I knew it was fresh. Overall, I recommend this place if you're looking for a fun interactive evening with friends. They have great happy hours including food and drinks and a really great ambiance all around. Their music was a bit too loud for me but I guess that's a matter of taste. Here are their happy hour deal (ends at 7:30pm): $5 Beer, $6 Wine, $7 Cocktails $1 Wing and Oysters $1.50 Baked Clam with garlic,butter and cheese read more

What a find in the lower east side. Loved 1. Happy hour specials until 7pm including grilled oysters and wings. Should have gotten more oysters. Capri sun drinks were good but won't try again because sugary 2. The clawdaddy special sauce with the Louisiana boil- shrimp and snow crab legs 3. They give you gloves and bib Didn't love 1. Noise level 2. You need to use gloves and bib 3. Tables are small and it's cramped Will return for their dinner specials read more

"Oh boy" is what I thought as I walked into this place on a Friday night. I came here with a large group for a dinner because a friend selected it and to say it's not my scene is an understatement. That being said, I think the food is not bad, but it's honestly not that cheap though for what it is (with 2 drinks a person and the food we got it was $75 a person). The king crab legs were not that moist but the head on shrimp was delicious. We chose the claw daddy's sauce spicy and it was pretty good, but the presentation is disgusting - they literally bring you the food in a plastic bag and dump it into a bowl and it is SO messy. Now I'm from Maryland so I love me some old bay and crab messiness but this was beyond. There is way too much sauce which made me just give up at some point and not want to eat anymore. Also the adult Capri suns are the way to go even if they're weak because it's impossible to drink a beer with your gloves on and the amount of sauce that gets on them while you're eating. The sides were OK, Mac and cheese was a little dry, the corn was pretty good and the $2 blue point were actually tasty except for a gigantic one (literally the largest oyster I've seen) that was disgusting. The extra sausage I didn't think was worth it. What really annoyed me was the service. It took 30 minutes from when we sat down to when we got any drinks and we could NOT hear our server - i loved the music but dude speak LOUDER in this environment. My fiancé asked the server what was gluten free and he said "everything has gluten" - huh, it's sea food how is that possible. He comes back and after talking to the kitchen says so we don't know what's in the sauces, again huh, don't you make the sauces? Anyway my fiancé just got the garlic butter because it seemed the safest and he thankfully didn't get sick. In addition our entrees came out before any of our appetizers did and we ordered a lot - deviled eggs, ceviche, crab cakes, fried pickles, etc. Then when we were getting ready to wrap up they just dropped off the check while we were still ordering drinks, um hello we're not done. THEN they came over and asked us to get up, they had the nerve to say we'd be "more comfortable in their lounge upstairs". To be fair they gave us a free round of weak shots, but it's just not the right delivery/management style for me. We had a fine time cause we were with friends but there is no chance I'll be back. read more

As a lover of seafood Claw Daddy's has never failed me, everything is always so fresh and well seasoned. I'm a Major fan of the adult Capri sun after 2 to 3 of those I be in need of a designated driver lol.. Yes I'm a Light weight, the staff is very on point they attend to you right away. There's never a long wait for your food or drinks and that's what I love about this place. I'll forever be a supporter of this establishment. read more

Man...listen bro, don't come here. I just spent $150 on 4LBS AND 2 Margaritas. I got garlic butter and it's ass man....the flavor isn't even in the crab legs. It's like the just threw the seasoning juice on the crab and microwaved the food. I'm honestly truly disappointed. Came here trying to impress my lady, and I'm Leaving by myself. So I'm down $150 and ain't getting no buns. It's all bad. Please go to another place. The staff is amazing, look and Brand is Amazing! Great place for pictures BUT, the food is not seasoned well.

Super fun. Great drinks, great food, amazing vibe! Awesome for groups. We were waiting at the 2nd floor waiting area for our table. The fun started then. The restaurant was efficient and moved us down within an hour ( we did have our reservation but missed it by 2 minute). It's totally fine for us as the 2nd floor takes order too. All the appetizers were delicious! We got several orders for our group of 7: Oysters - fresh and tasty Grilled oysters Grilled clams - more yum than grilled oysters Cajun wings - surprisingly very good! Fried pickles Crab Cake Fritters For the main dishes we ordered water boil and medium Claw Daddy's Special sauce for snow crab legs, head-on shrimps, clams, corns, etc. the special sauce is a bit spicy and very flavorful- highly recommend. We also ordered Brussels sprouts as side dishes, and adult caprisun is strong and smooth. read more

I hadn't had Cajun boil in so long, so I was excited to try this place out. The servers were all super nice and attentive. We ordered a couple Capri suns which were super strong! I liked the Mardi Gras flavored one. As for the seafood boil...I ordered the shrimp at the spicy level. It was good, but the sauce was just ok. It was pretty buttery, but I prefer something more tangy. I was also a little sad to see that crawfish wasn't on the menu read more

I love Claw Daddy's! From the food, to the drinks, to the service AND the vibes, it's definitely a favorite of mine! I came here during Covid and was impressed by all of the measures they are taking to ensure everyone's safety. All the staff wears gloves and changes them out regularly. The oysters are delicious, meaty and fresh. The baked clams are amazing! They're literally the best thing I've ever tasted! The crab cake fritters are also really tasty and good to share. The adult Caprisuns are a must have. I really like the Matilda, which contains muddled blackberries and raspberries. The Mardi Gras is another one that I like and is more alcohol forward. I will of course be back soon and will definitely be trying the alligator bites! read more

Attention all seafood lovers! I went to claw daddy's with a party of 3 and paid for a party of 4 just because I wanted to experience the dine in and the capri sun adult like beverages. What can I say was worth every dollar. You actually get a descent amount of seafood I believe it's 2 lbs of seafood all mixed in with veggies and corn etc. The drinks are pricey but definitely worth it. I had the Mardi Gras adult Capri sun which later turned into five more drinks please. Yes that's how's great they are. Will definitely return to claw daddy's in the future read more

Unfortunately after my visit last night, I woke up this morning and realized that we were grossly overcharged by the bartender on duty, Felipe. I texted my sister in law to see if I was maybe going crazy but then she told me that she couldn't find her half of the charge in her bank statement, which was really weird considering we both got receipts to sign. That prompted me to check my bank statement and that's when I saw two separate charges from them even though I only signed ONE receipt. Everything we ordered was during happy hour and somehow our bill came out to over $200. I've tried calling them, left voicemails, dmd them on Instagram and I'm literally being ignored. I requested for an itemized receipt to be emailed to me. No one has contacted me. We had 3 rounds of drinks: $99 3 rounds of grilled oysters: $54 2 rounds of wings: $24 Plus two free sides that we got using the Yelp check in. Add that up and the total doesn't even come out to $200. My brother in law gave Felipe $100 in CASH and was supposed to split the rest between two cards. My card was charged twice for $80. He literally jipped us thinking we wouldn't notice and now the restaurant is dodging calls. Extremely disappointed. You can't trust anyone these days. read more

Reserved a table for 4 for indoor dining on a Saturday. We were seated promptly after a temperature check at the door. We ordered the king crab legs in claw daddy's special sauce and requested spicy for an extra kick, the grilled oysters - which I'd describe as delicious garlicky/buttery goodness, and a side of Brussels sprouts- surprisingly satisfying. For drinks we had the Matilda & Mardi Gras caprisuns, both were tasty and refreshing. During covid the whole indoor dining experience felt completely safe and we all had a great time dining in. There was plenty of social distancing within the restaurant, the servers were friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious! read more

This place is a must! First, make a reservation in advance because the waits can get long. Second, come during happy hour (from open to 7:30 p.m.) the adult capri suns taste good and they are strong. Now to the food, order the cajun sauce in mild or medium depending on how much spicy you like. If you get the medium, or some bread or potatoes because your mouth will be on fire. On fire in a good way. The flavor goes all the way down to the meat of the crabs. So good. City Island is still number 1 but if you want a shorter trip check this place out. read more

The food here is amazing BUT the manager needs to get rid of that big fat dude who checks ID's and is supposed to seat the customers. He's rude, unprofessional and inattentive to incoming customers. He will be the reason this business loses out on money. That guy does not greet and he has a funky attitude when you say hi, when all I wanted to do was sit down and eat. He literally had me and another customer standing by the door while he took 10 minutes having a conversation with a girl. As much as I enjoy the food and waiters service here, I would much rather spend my money elsewhere to avoid big back at the entrance who we as customers are forced to interact with when he is entirely a rude asshole. read more

Went here for their infamous happy hour! I love their oysters. We also tried the grilled oysters this time. I personally enjoyed the raw oysters more. I haven't been here since before covid so the menu definitely changed. I prefer their old menu where you were able to choose what seafood options you wanted as a combo. I settled for the combo they had which was ok. The sweet potato fries were crispy and big. My friend got the pastalaya and it looked heavy. The workers were attentive and friendly. Our server was patient. I would only come back for happy hour and the Wednesday special. I would probably just get the shrimp bag since shrimp contains the most amount of meat. read more

Got the claw feast. It was my friend's idea. I'm not a fan of cracking open any shellfish to get to the meat. While I did manage and did enjoy the taste of the little bits of crawfish, snow crab legs, shrimp, and clams; it was too much work which got messy real fast.. hence the bib, gloves, and hand wipes . Sadly I was not impressed and could've done without the sauce that was doused over the feast. The wings and fries were more my favorites of the evening. And the sausage and potatoes that were mixed in the claw feast.. basically, strangely, the non-signature/ non-shellfish items! read more

* they take reservations * * link your CC to yelp to get 5% cash back when dining here * Happy Hour specials (everyday) M-Sat: 5-7:30pm Sun: 12-7:30pm $1.50 grilled oysters/clams $1 oysters and Cajun wings $5 draft beers $6 wines $7 adult capri sun cocktails This place is pretty spacious on the inside, has a nautical vibe in terms of décor, and can accommodate large groups. On a Thursday evening, for a table of 5 at around 6:30pm, there was hardly a wait, but the entire party did have to be present in order to be seated. Two days a week, Wednesdays (all day) & Sundays (noon-5pm), diners can participate in the claw feast at $35 per person, but requires a minimum of 4 diners, and by reservation only. The food here is pretty satisfactory for the most part. I found it pretty surprising how the garlic butter was tastier than the house claw daddy Cajun spice mixture; the Cajun spice mixture was too dry and clunky for my liking, but when you mix it with the liquids from the garlic butter you got a solid seasoning. FYI: A singular order of a seafood does not come with corn and potatoes. You'd only get them gratis if you order two pounds of the same seafood with the same sauce. read more

Really worth it if you go for their happy hour. Seems like you need a reservation even if they have a good amount of empty tables. The drinks are all good, and all the happy hour food hits.

Went out looking for a spot to have some crawfish and found Claw Daddy's at Orchard Street. It was a busy, crowded night so had to wait approx. 40 minutes. We waited by the bar and sipped on drinks from a ziploc bag :) For starters we had the dozen, happy hour oysters and sautéed corn which were delicious! Then the time came! It was time to enjoy some CRAWFISH and boy did we enjoy it! It was juicy, thick, and had the perfect level of spice (we had the original cajun with medium spice). The sauce is irresistible! That wasn't enough so we ordered the snow crab legs with the same sauce that was used on the crawfish. Although I'm not a fan of crab, I actually enjoyed it! Will have to try the Dungeness crab next time. Overall, it was a laid-back joint with friendly service so I will definitely return. read more
