We visited King Claw the other day and the service and overall dining experience was excellent! Previous time was super noisy due to trivia so we enjoyed the minimal noise level. We each ordered a seafood basket and were craving some seafood. I each ordered the fried oyster and shrimp baskets with calamari, onion rings, fries, and hush puppies. We were all pleased with generous portion sizes. The oysters and shrimp were crispy and flavorful. Also enjoyed drawing sketches of fish and Buccee's on the paper. This was a great experience for the whole family. We'll definitely be back! read more

We visited King Claws today, and the service and overall dining experience were excellent! Madison was our server and she was delightful! My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the king and snow crab legs, paired perfectly with broccoli and potatoes. My husband went with the fried oysters and catfish with fries, and he was very pleased with both. My son ordered the boom boom shrimp tacos--the shrimp were crispy, flavorful, and generously portioned. Everything came out fresh and well-prepared, making it a great experience for the whole family. We'll definitely be back! read more

If you've never tried a seafood boil before, King Claw Seafood is a great place to start. My husband was a first-timer when it came to seafood boils, so we decided to go all in. He ordered crawfish, shrimp, and black mussels with corn and potatoes in the King Claw seasoning. As someone completely new to the experience, he was pleasantly surprised and ended up loving it. I went with two clusters of crab legs and shrimp with extra potatoes and corn in the Cajun seasoning. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The crab legs were easy to crack, the shrimp were cooked just right, and the Cajun seasoning had plenty of flavor without being overwhelming. The extra potatoes were definitely the right call. One thing that really stood out was the service. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was fun, casual, and exactly what you'd expect from a seafood boil spot--messy in the best way possible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We skipped appetizers and dessert because the seafood was more than enough, but neither of us left hungry. If you're craving crab legs, shrimp, or a classic seafood boil experience, King Claw Seafood is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back. read more

King Claw satisfied our cravings for seafood boil. At first, we sat for 10 minutes before our server noticed us. She wasn't notified about us, I guess. But she was nice and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant wasn't busy when we came in at 1:30 p.m. and it was nice and cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the "build your own boil", 2 crab clusters, 1 pound of sausage, 1 pound of head-on shrimp, and half a pound of mussels, an extra order of corn, broccoli, and hard-boiled eggs with medium spicy King Claw seasoning. The serving was big and satisfying. The seasoning was a tad salty and drowning in butter, but it was delicious. You just couldn't eat this frequently, or you'll risk having a heart attack or stroke. But it's a nice treat and satisfying. A good place in Charleston. read more

Visited after church one Sunday with my mom. Got seated immediately. First time at this restaurant. The young lady that helped us was very nice & attentive. The seafood boils were tasty, but I could've used a little more seasoning in mine. I built my own with a 1/2lb snow crab clusters, 1/2lb black Mussels, broccoli, & 1/2lb smoked sausage with mild house sauce. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was quite at that time, but seems like a good place for groups or to sit & the bar, watch sports & have a meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Mike was our server and did a great job. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Went about 1:30 pm today...no crowd and my first time here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the 1 pound of snow crab legs that came with potatoes and a corn. I can not recall the name of the sauce type I had but it was a combination of all the 3 kinds including Cajun and garlic. It was the best seafood I had in a long time and I am from Louisiana and used to really good seafood. Food came out hot and fresh. My parents also enjoyed their food and had no complaints. read more

They also have a option where you can add Ramen to make it into a seafood Ramen. I've done that before too and yummy. Just writing this makes me want to head back there soon. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Looking for a chill, relaxing, spot with great seafood and amazing service? Then King Claw is definitely where you should be headed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been a few times now and I've never been disappointed. They have a large menu of delectables that make you want yo choose everything. I highly recommend trying their apps. They are superb! The fried Calamari and Gator bites are so tasty and flavorful. Then for your main dish, well like I said, there's a lot to choose from. I have ordered the Seafood Boil with their own special sauce- delish! It pairs perfectly with their refreshing house frozen cocktails. Go give them a try. read more

It was about 1pm and it wasn't crowded. We waited about 5 minutes to get seated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While waiting, I was thinking about how the place looks much bigger inside than it did inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My son and I went for the fried catfish basket from the lunch menu. He swapped his coleslaw for more fries and I had mine as-is. Browsing their menu, they had so much i wanted to try... Good excuse to come back again! Anyway, the food was good. My son pointed out the catfish was thinner than what we've seen at other restaurants, but perhaps it's because we ordered from the lunch menu. We were full before we got halfway through the meal, so definitely no complaints. The server was great as well... Very polite and attentive, despite being the only server there (or it seemed like he was the only one). I regret not having visited this place sooner. We will be back soon! read more

We went in the middle of the day when it was slow and our server was awesome. The soft serve margarita was amazing and the food came out quickly! Only reason it's not 5 is because the crawfish weren't cleaned very well. Great place that we'll be coming back to for sure! read more

This was my first time coming to a seafood boil in a bag restaurant. I was excited to try it with a group of friends. The menu was full of choices and options. We were seated right away and had a great waitress. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the fact we got a paper tablecloth, gloves, and even a bib.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I knew it was time to get down to business. I had no business eating that whole bag, but I did. I was traveling, so I did not want the leftovers, so I had to do the dang thing. The only thing I will say is the crab legs lacked a good size, and a lot of mine were empty. The mussels were really tasty as well as the shrimp. I love all the options for seasoning and spice level. King Claw also has a full bar as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is chill and laid back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a great establishment to have a fun dinner with my girls. read more

If you are looking for a seafood boil in Charleston, definitely check out King Claw. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is pretty spacious so we didn't have to wait long at a.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a great meal. The food was amazing and service was swift. The sauce to get is the King Claw Special which is a mix of lemon pepper, cajun, and garlic butter. I like spicy food and got the hot option and it was PERFECT. Our waitress was super nice and even gave my little one some ice cream afterwards for free! Oh and if you have young kids, their chicken tenders and fries meal is great and only $7. When you pick the seafood, go for the snow crab, it was juicy and sweet, not the salty frozen seafood flavor. Enjoy! read more

When the Seester's in town, we do seafood We love a good crab boil and I'm so happy one of my friends recommended King Claw Juicy Seafood in West Ashley. The kids were happy with their meals (look how big that chicken strip is!), and the Cajun flavor hit the spot. You definitely get the most bang for your buck with the kids meals here, and the prices were way more affordable then some of the ones in California. Also check out the calendar for the different events they have. We went on Bingo night and the kids were so entertained. Definitely check them out and ask for Mike. He was an awesome waiter. read more

I wanted to give an update and increase the rating based on a second experience for lunch. My son and I went in for lunch this past Saturday. This would be my second experience and his first. We both ordered the Fried Catfish and Shrimp October special. The Shrimp and Fries were excellent. My fish was a little undercooked, still pink inside and too soft. I called the waitress over and asked if it could be dropped back in the fryer for a few minutes. She got the manager over and he took the entire plate which I had already eaten most of the shrimp and the fries.. and brought me a new plate, this time fried to perfection. He added 3 shrimp even though I had eaten most of my shrimp before. The customer service was above and beyond. I really appreciated that. I was nice and understand that these things happen. When I seen that 18% gratuity was already added to the check, I asked her to remove it because I had planned on leaving more. I did leave more. When you order the October Special they automatically add gratuity to the check. Our Waitress was really good. Wasn't Keri this time. My son said she was on top of refilling his soda and was very happy with the service there. read more

Man this was amazing, I will return, so much food and seasoned very well,and it was quick plus I got my boil to go on top of that!!

Robin is hands down the best waitress my family and I have ever had. She has an amazing personality, great with kids, and just all around the best we would come back just for her service. She was quick and on top of everything we needed our whole time at King Claw she definitely deserves a raise. read more

OMG! Heaven! Love this place and love getting my hands dirty! This place was wonderful. Love the atmosphere and interior decor. The hostess was nice and greeted us. Our waiter took our beverage order first. And then, we ordered our plates. As an appetizer, we got the steamed oysters (6) with Cajun seasoning. For an entree, my friend got the King Claw Boil and I got the Sailor's Boil -- both with King Claw Special sauce and medium spice. My Sailor Boil consisted of a snow crab cluster, 1/2lb shrimp (no head), lobster tail, potato and corn. Absolutely amazing flavoring and taste! They did a great job at mixing the sauce together! Our waiter was forgetful at times, but it's okay. I would say the bathroom needs more upkeep as it did had a weird smell to it, although that may be because one of the stalls was out of order. Maybe next time, it'll be fixed. Overall, I definitely recommend this place as the food itself says it all! read more
