Getting a table for 8 in a beach town on a Sunday might be like the Holy Grail, but after getting our name on the list, the wait wasnt even an hour. And boy that wait was soooo worth it! We had crab dip, we had mussels, we had oysters ... and the hits kept on coming! We've been comparing crab dip across Rehoboth, and sadly, this location came in last so far. The crab was lovely, but the cheddar topping was too heavy and intrusive a flavor, it took away from the crab's delicacy. The oysters were great and with two plates of mussels, one was a little heavy on the lemongrass, but both still yummy. I had a tremendous Bloody Mary that came with a scoop of crabmeat, a slice of bacon and three olives. It was good to the last drop. For me, the hit of the evening was scallops and risotto. Man-o-man! Delish! Crab legs were great and shared by all. Our server was attentive, but not intrusive, and very friendly. We all voted -- definitely worth a return visit! read more

Horrendous crabs for $140 dozen. . I have not have worse crabs this year. I will NEVER go there again and would not recommend to anyone including my most hated acquaintances read more

Welp. Made the mistake of coming back Do. Not. Waste. Your. Money. My family waited till last minute to put in a crab order. Claws was the only place who 'said' they had every size crab for sale. Ha. We ordered a dozen and a half large crabs. But wow those were TINY. Like barely a medium. So light. And a bunch of them tasted weird. Ammonia like. My parents spent the entire meal lamenting wasting their money and what a waste of time it was to pick such tiny, sad crabs. Especially because of the taste! Also 140 a dozen. Absolutely not worth it. They also must have been low on old bay this week because it was used sparingly. Next time we will make the drive back out to the boonies for the surfing crab. read more

Saw this place on TikTok for all you can eat crabs for $55 and we had to try it. They advertise that the crabs are med- large mix and unlimited hush puppies & corn on the cob. I'm not a huge hush puppy fan, but they were crispy and had good flavor. The corn on the Cob was delicious. I had 3 ears! The crabs were more medium than large but they were tasty, hot , and fresh. If you only have 2 left when you finish, you can take them home. Although I was specifically there for crabs, they have a nice selection of apps and entrees. From what I saw other customers getting I would definitely come back just to try their apps and entrees. They all looked mouthwatering. read more

My son got the snow crab legs big portion for a price I'd expect to pay at the beach. My filet mignon was so tough I couldn't even cut through it.

Server was nice but definitely slow read more

This was a phenomenal experience. If you are ever visiting Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, this place is truly a must have! I was greeted warmly and seated promptly! From the first greeting, throughout the rest of the dining experience, the service was immaculate. I chose an outdoor table and enjoyed feeling the fresh ocean air hit my skin! For my appetizer, I ordered fried pickles, which were absolutely scrumptious! They were fried and seasoned to perfection, and the ranch on the side was freshly made and complimented the flavor of the fried pickles very well! I ordered a fried crab-cake sandwich for my main course, a true classic! This sandwich was off the chain! Flavor and goodness all in one! I savored each and every bite! Definitely on the list of most amazing crab-cake sandwiches that I have had. Check this place out, you will not regret it, Cheers! read more

This is just the type place you were thinking about when you decided to come to Rehoboth Beach. A casual, breezy, seafood and burger place with great happy hour seafood specials throughout the week. Go before 6pm and get a load of significantly reduced happy hour deals on small plates of fresh seafood and beer specials while seated at bar tables or directly at the bar. Great, friendly staff, and everyone in the place is having a nice time. read more

August 3, 2025 - Yeah, here we are back again today. My family doesn't have much creativity, but hey we liked it so much yesterday, Claws made easy to come back again. I doubled up on the sweet tea today and now it's got me all jittery and skittish. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tea, it's making me sing with glee, swing from the tallest palm tree, clothes off and I am free! Come dance with me, mockingbird, come dance. It's my stance that when I'm standing I'm more commanding of the respect I deserve, and Claws stands on business so respect them! Anyways. Instead of the Jambalaya, I want with the lobster roll today, and a saffron rice side. With the smell of the lobster, it wasn't hard to decide, I had to try it. The rice was delicious like it was last night in my jambalaya. And I'd be a liar to say if my meal wasn't even better today! Holy cowlick on my goggles, the lobster roll was so good. The lobster salad was pure perfection, not one flavor was overwhelming or more than the rest. All together the lobster, the lettuce, the dill and the mayo, aced the test. The roll was a perfect fit for this concoction, it held the meat in place so that I can place onto my taste buds. Holy sizzle, sweet holy sazoodle, and all different words that rhyme with noodle and poodle. Claws is a fan favorite, no question there. I'd slather that lobster salad all in my hair. In fact, I'm still here while posting this Yelp, maybe I'll do it! This place keeps getting better. My rating is butter. Let's go 9.25/10 and next year , we'll back again. NPSwizz August 2, 2025 - Luigi Linguini, I'm back and I'm not done talking smack. The CLAWS are coming out in this one. You're sitting there in a far off island having fun in the sun, while I'm here at the beach, so far out of reach, now let me teach you a thing or two about reviewing, no need for YouTubing. Claws was a hit from the gate. The service was great, my questions were answered with no need to wait. Wait. I'm trying to watch my weight, but I had to do it. A sweet tea, so good with a picture to prove it. Then came meal. The jambalaya was unreal, the spice was a "vibe," yeah I said "vibe" because I'm a cool guy. So cool that I say "bet." My sister's boyfriend says I'm the coolest guy he's ever met. But back to the food. My jambalaya was a jumbo success. So good that it would've knocked off my dress if I were wearing a dress. The chicken so yummy , the andouille a blessing, and I want that saffron rice at wedding. The star of the show was the shrimp for sure, and I wish there were more. I wanted more. I'm a big fat man, feed me my shrimp! I kid, I kid. Not about being fat. I'm fat. But the meal was enough. It filled me right up. I score it an 8.75/10. I'd have it again.

We enjoy a visit to Claws when in town. They have seating both inside and outside, which is always a welcome treat! They are always consistent with their food from year to year and we enjoy their specials. My daughter and her friend shared the 2 pounds snow crab legs special. It came with two sides and plenty of food for each of them. We always start with the hush puppies, which are crispy and flavorful and come with a great butter. My mom and I decided to split the twin lobster tails which also came with two sides. My dad got the fried oysters which he really enjoyed. I enjoyed sharing his tartar or remoulade sauce! It was briney and full of flavor! The service was good and the server checked on us multiple times. The only complaint I would have is that we were a party of five and we were charged an automatic gratuity for "a large party". She highlighted it on the bill but didn't verbally tell us that she put the charge on there. Normally, a party of eight or more are considered a large party. If you're looking for a good old seafood house, check out Claws! read more

As always, we had a wonderful experience at the seafood house. We've been enjoying Claws Seafood House since we began going down to Rehoboth. Specifically, this past Sunday (8/17/25), we had the pleasure of having Lexi (hope I spelled that right) as our server. Such a wonderful person with a heartwarming smile and personality. During our time at the restaurant, the party next to us had some sort of an issue. Lexi and the on-duty manager handled the customer's concern(s) with the utmost professionalism. If you have the opportunity when visiting Rehoboth, do yourself a favor and stop by Claws Seafood House for lunch or dinner. And if you're lucky, Lexi will be your server. Hats off :-) read more

We dined early, 530 pm but on a Saturday so it was already very busy. We took the last two seats at the small bar to avoid a wait for a table and enjoy all day Saturday happy hour. Bartender was slammed but eventually we were able to order a happy hour beer and a Dark and Stormy cocktail. Husband liked his Atlantico beer, I have never had a worse Dark and Stormy. Sour and dismal, I probably should have sent it back but felt I might never get another. We went straight to entrees, spouse had the happy hour mussels and I ordered the grouper risotto. He was totally happy with the mussels, it was nice to be able to order white wine and not the marinara mentioned on the menu. I loved the grouper fish itself, and it came out blackened as I requested . But it was covered in a over thick, very heavy cream sauce which combined with the creamy parmesan risotto was like having a bowl of fish chowder. I was so disappointed to have this beautiful piece of fish ruined with literally cream gravy. Even if the fish had been placed on top of the risotto, without being covered in the thick gluey cream sauce I would have felt differently. I did eat the asparagus and the fish, but the rest went in the trash. Sorry this dish was not a winner. Based on my drink and meal experience we finished and paid without dessert or another round. Sorry Claws, you didn't earn four stars this time. read more

We came here to eat one evening during our stay in Rehoboth. My son really wanted a whole lobster which is sold here. The wait staff started off good initially then they pretty much forgot about us after they brought us our food. When we were done eating the kids starting getting wild, so I had to go inside and have another server close out my bill. It was an ok dinner. read more

We came for the All You Can Eat crab special priced at $49.99 per person. The crabs were mostly small to medium-sized, but they were incredibly fresh and juicy. The four of us devoured about 3 to 4 dozen crabs in total. I believe it's well worth the price because of the excellent quality of the crab. The only minor inconvenience was the presence of bugs due to dining outdoors. It would be great if they could provide more fans outside to address this issue. However, I must commend the friendly and helpful service. The staff consistently checked on us, ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Nevertheless, considering the delicious crab, I definitely plan to return next summer! read more

The Fins Group offers several restaurant options while dining in RB, all providing quality seafood and tasty dishes. On this visit we stopped at Claws for dinner. Service was prompt and friendly and we were seated at a table that was large enough for everyone instead of being squeezed in like other places. Our meals were portioned well and very good. On this visit our group sampled: Crab pretzel (large and very good to share), Caesar Salad with calamari, Fish and chips (cooked perfectly), Ahi tacos (delicious), and the Peacemaker Po Boy (very good). The only complaint I have, which also happened when dining at another Fin's restaurant, is the Children's menu Fish and Chips. The menu lists fish and chips as a choice and includes one side. When the meal arrived it was a piece of fish and a side of applesauce, which the child had chosen, but no "chips/fries". When we brought this to the server's attention he stated that the child didn't choose fries as the side. We attempted to explain to the server that the meal is listed as fish and chips with one side, so if the "chips" weren't included it should only be called "fish". You can't call a menu item Fish and Chips if it only includes the fish. The server then stated that other customers had said the same thing and he would let the manager know the issue (Nothing was changed from the prior year at a sister restaurant, so I don't expect it to after this visit.) The server did bring an order of fries for the child, which was greatly appreciated (Small things like this create loyal customers with so many dining choices in RB) Overall a good place to visit with quality food and a nice local beer selection. read more

If you are eating all you can eat hard shell crabs make sure they set you at a big enough table and one that doesn't wobble. Service was good. And flavor of seafood was better than some of other sit down seafood restaurants in the area. This place didn't wow me. But I am spoiled. I can recommend this place. Competition in this area can be brutal. I have so many places to try. I don't believe you will be disappointed in this one. read more

Went to Claws the other day for the first time. I was hungry for great seafood and ended up leaving satisfied with decent seafood. This deserves a 3.5 but I can't give it a 4. You have to sit at the bar if you want happy hour, so we moved inside. The bartender was attentive and nice. We started with peel and eat shrimp, a salad, and 1/2 a dozen oysters. Oysters were super tasty and so was the salad. The shrimp were very overcooked. We had a fish and chips to split for dinner. The batter on the fish was reminiscent of corn dog batter, which I was not a fan of. I also had a pina colada on the rocks, which I'd give 2 stars to. read more

The bright red decor accents on the outside of restaurant, make this spot super eye catching. Surprisingly this is a true seafood house and not a beach tourist trap. The staff is young, respectful and friendly. The ambiance is very family friendly. My wife was hungry for Maryland blue crab and Claws delivered. She ordered the all you can eat special. The meal came with an order of hush puppies, an ear of corn on the cob, and some steamed shrimp. The steamed crabs were delivered and served table top. The sizes were small to medium. Which for the menu price and ALL THAT YOU CAN EAT... was a good value on these delicacies. The restaurant also has burgers and a nice variety of fish offerings. Adult beverages are available too. We had a very enjoyable lunch and will gladly return. read more

Some of the best seafood I've had at the beach! The menu had so many options I had trouble picking an entree- my family and I ate there again later in the week to try other menu items! I ordered blackened mahi and it was an extremely generous portion, very fresh, perfectly seasoned and cooked. It was very tender and could easily slice with my fork. Definitely moist. This entree came with 2 sides. The atmosphere was exactly what you'd expect at a crab house- quirky, beach decor, fish tanks, brown paper lined tables. I will definitely be returning! read more

Claws is THE place to be for seafood!! Right off the boardwalk street and near tons of hotels, it's a super convenient spot. The service was moderate, I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had but there was really nothing wrong with it. The girls were pleasant. My friend and I stayed in Rehoboth for 3 nights and ended up coming here twice! It was that good. They have specials every weeknight. Crab night was Monday and it was all you can eat! It was great, accompanied by 1/2lb of peel and eat shrimp, hush puppies and corn on the cob and cole slaw, the price was certainly right. So worth it! I could've sat there all night enjoying myself. The shrimp really was fantastic and super fresh. Cole slaw was homemade and delicious as well. Their hush puppies are great too. The second night we decided to come because it was crab cake night and that really worth the price as well. Crab cake platter for under $20! They also have a seasonal pumpkin crab bisque that was to die for. If you're ever here in the fall season and that's available - definitely get it! read more
