Stopped by after work but unfortunately happy hour was over at that point (I think we arrived at 6:30PM ish). Did not make a reservation but were sat down super quickly. The service was quick and attentive. Loved the ambiance and theme throughout the establishment. The bar in the front still gave that grove street vibe. We ordered Combo A (crawfish and headless shrimp) with their special seasoning plus fried catfish with sweet potato fries. Those sweet potato fries were amazing, best I've ever had. They were seasoned so well, I think cajun seasoning, and nicely crisp. The boil was good, wish it came with more of the sauce/seasoning. I liked the shrimp but was not a fan of the crawfish. Definitely going to return to try a different combination..

What you may not know is that in addition to sidewalk seating in the front, they have a cute courtyard area as well more within the restaurant. It is a bit more intimate and quiet than being in the front. The food is good! They have a nice selection ranging from lobster to crawfish. I ordered the shrimp basket which was delicious. I really enjoyed their home made lemonade as well. Price wise the place is reasonable given its location. I would definitely come back again.

We had the chargrilled oysters & barbecue shrimp. The sauces in both made you want to lick the dishes they were served in. Both of the gumbos, the collard greens, cornbread, & catfish served over grits were very tasty. My least favorite was the Mac & cheese, but it wasn't bad. And the BREAD PUDDING! WHAAAAAT?! Ridiculously good!!! Our server was great but unfortunately I cannot remember his name. (We were there 4/28/2026.) We will most surely return and we traveled by train from Brooklyn! Sorry (not sorry) that we didn't take photos. There was no time for that. Lastly, it's BYOB which was okay with me.

The Shrimp Etouffee was pretty good, but the giant bowl of Jambalaya was the real crowd pleaser--it was chock full of Andouille sausage, chicken and shrimp, with a portion size that would've made any momma proud. Round it out with a generous helping of turkey bacon-drenched collard greens, and you've got yourself a pretty soulful dinner.

Amazing food, vibe and service!…read more Since I knew we would be in the city Sunday and would probably want to brunch before the concert that night, I looked up a bunch of places and this one kept catching my eye. We almost wouldn't have been able to go because I waited until that day to make reservations and it seemed like they were all booked up. But luckily, my boyfriend had a great idea to call to see if anything was available. Although I was only communicating with an automated system/ai rep, it was able to find reservations for 1:45. We took it and it was worth the wait! This is a very cute spot in Tribeca. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted, checked in for our reservation and seated immediately. Walking up, there is a little outdoor covered seating section that is set on the street next to the sidewalk. Inside, there was a jazz trio performing to the right when you first walk in. As we headed and got to our seats, we saw that behind the bar/counter seating they had the flattop cooking station so you could see the chefs preparing all the food; the bar was also in that area. We knew beforehand about the unlimited drinks option so we of course went with that - $36/person and had like 4 different brunch drink options you can rotate through over the 90 minutes. Our server came over pretty quickly to introduce herself and get our initial order. I was hoping to try out the Biscuits & Cajun Crab Gravy but they ran out of biscuits, so I ended up ordering the Chicken & Beignets instead. Boyfriend went with the Shrimp and Tasso Country Grits. Omg... Everything was delicious! Chicken had the perfect crisp and cook, beignets baked just right so they were soft and well complimented with the blueberry compote. And I had a bit of the grits - so creamy, perfect texture with a unique yet satisfying flavor with the sauce. Could kind of taste the coffee but also felt like there was something like a hint of curry or something in that red sauce - it was very good! Highly recommend checking this place out (make reservations for the weekend!). Because there are more things on this menu we would want to try, we said we have to try to come back very soon

Looking for chargrilled oysters on nyc is hard but come here if you want them. Best I've had in nyc ever!!!! They have a good happy hour and that is what would pull me to come I. For drinks and oysters. I tried the restaurant week menu and had the gumbo. I do appreciate that my shrimp and crab gumbo was crab heavy but wasn't a fan of the shrimp, it was good otherwise. My friend ordered the blackened swordfish and was told there was no more( we got there at 5:30) so they gave catfish instead. The caramel cornbread was tooo sweet and the caramel was burnt so I didn't eat it. I got to watch then make the gumbo since I sat at the bar and it was semi entertaining.

The food also came out surprisingly quickly, especially for an AYCE restaurant with a time limit. We didn't get many pictures because we were too busy eating, but the salt and pepper lobster was easily our favorite dish. The Old Bay snow crab was also delicious. The claws were a bit spicy for me, but if you like spice it's a great flavor. Definitely come with an appetite! The decor is fun and nautical themed and the bathrooms are great - super clean and nice.

Unfortunately, the service we received from our server was the complete opposite, which made the experience extremely disappointing. From the start, our server seemed uninterested in serving our table and appeared bothered whenever we needed something. When our appetizers arrived, we weren't given share plates. When our entrees came out, she walked right past our table without checking on us. I understand servers can get busy, and she only had a couple of other tables at the time, but she never performed even a basic two-bite check-back. We repeatedly had to ask other servers and even kitchen staff for items we needed because our server simply could not be bothered. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, this stood out even more. Throughout the meal, she never asked if we'd like another round of drinks. Instead, she simply removed our cups without offering refills or additional beverages. The most frustrating part came when it was time to pay. We asked to split the bill, but she handed me the POS device with the full amount. When I politely pointed out that the bill had not been split correctly, she responded with an attitude and insisted it was right when it clearly wasn't. I had to ask her to redo it, and the interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational. I understand the restaurant closes at 10 PM, but we were seated around 8:30 PM, which should have been plenty of time to receive attentive service. It's unfortunate because our experience started on such a positive note thanks to the hostess staff. I expected that same level of hospitality throughout the evening, but instead left feeling disappointed and unwelcome.

Claw's Daddy has one of the best happy hours in Lower East Side, hands down. If you're looking for…read moreamazing seafood deals and a laid-back spot to catch up with friends, this place hits every mark. The happy hour specials are unreal: $1 wings that are super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, $1.50 fresh oysters, and $2 grilled oysters and clams that are an absolute flavor bomb--loaded with buttery goodness, herbs, and cheese. Don't skip the $3 off adult Capri Suns--they're a fun, nostalgic touch that rounds out the happy hour perfectly while you relax and chat. Definitely order a side of Cajun fries for the table too; they're seasoned just right and great for sharing. Service is always quick and efficient, which makes the experience even better when the place gets busy. Claw's Daddy is now a go-to for happy hour cravings and easygoing hangouts with friends. Highly recommend!

We ordered a ton of food because we just wanted to try it all and we were not disappointed. I was craving some New Orleans style cuisine and this hit the spot. The service was excellent - attentive, friendly and made our evening special. The manager was super friendly as well and made sure we enjoyed everything. The non-alcoholic drinks were so good that I ordered 3 of them. The only thing I wish is that they had some traditional crawfish étouffée on the menu! It's my favorite dish. Will definitely return here soon!

(I would say 5 or 6 ppl max) We were a group of 4 and they were very accommodating when I had to call and change the reservation a couple times I really liked the vibes in the restaurant , it was very cozy and i loved the art on their walls. it's a very interesting concept of korean and NOLA-style cuisine. We ordered à la carte , we did the hushpuppies and the fried chicken thighs ($68 for 5 thighs) that come with 2 sides (watermelon salad and kimchi green tomatoes) & the green tomatoes were my personal favorite- very flavorful and crispy! They were pretty busy, so our food took a bit longer than usual and they gave us complimentary pecan pie bites and the hushpuppies :) They were very apologetic but it was unnecessary, we were willing to wait for good food! Our server was very accommodating and checked on us a few times, which was nice We did à la carte mainly bc my husband and i were with friends but next time, i would def do their tasting menu! I would recommend!

We decided to the set menu where you get to chose an assortment of sides and mains. We decided on watermelon salad, okra kimchi and potato salad for our sides. The watermelon kimchi and the okra really stood out. The sauce of the watermelon was fresh, light and full of flavor. While the okra was crunchy and not too slimey. We also went with the blackened catfish, and japchae balls. Both of which were solid! For our mains we did the crab curry, the fried chicken, and the brisket with grits. The chicken was battered to perfection, it was airy and not too heavy. The grits were done beautifully, the texture wasn't overly wet and mushy! Normally not a grits gal but it was sooo good. Some of the pieces of meat were rendered while some were a bit tough. The staff even threw in cornbread for our table which was very sweet! The crab curry had a very seafood front flavor, trust you knew crab was in that curry. We ended with both desserts the yakault drink being a crowd favorite!

Service: I wanted to start with service, because of how…read moredelightful it was. You could tell the gentlemen (especially the one with the british/ish accent), they really enjoyed what they do and the flavors they put into the food. We got to try out some curry, the one is planning to add for a specialty sandwich for the world cup! Ambiance: Very no frills. There are two small tables; but the park is right down the road, so that is the option if you have a party of 3+. There's no AC, so i'd recommend carrying out if it's a hot summer day. Food: We got the moo moo platter. The yak burger was FULL of flavor, it's so different, but so delicious. The gator sausage, was cooked to perfection on a thick bun; and it's not hard to chew! This tends to be an issue with gator, it was awesome. The wild boar taco was delicious with a nice back heat with jalapeños, it's something i would sit and have three of; but the tortilla wasn't really heated through at the bottom so it was falling apart, but was still delicious, i just forked it up!! We will definitely snag more fun foods to try from here, I'm looking forward to the kangaroo, mac and cheese bites, and fried pickles.

Unfortunately, the star of the sandwich--the fish--was where it fell short. The Pollock had absolutely no flavor and appeared to have no seasoning at all. It was very disappointing. The atmosphere and presentation were promising, but the sandwich itself missed the mark. With better seasoning and more flavor in the fish, this could have been a much better experience.

The first thing I noticed was how clean the restaurant was. It's a smaller space, but everything was spotless. Our hostess was incredibly friendly and seemed to be doing it all seating guests, making cocktails, checking in on tables, and even folding napkins and prepping utensils for the next customers. She never missed a beat. Since it was Restaurant Week, they were offering a $60 seafood boil special that included an appetizer, a boil, and dessert. My date and I decided to share everything, so we ordered the Cajun spaghetti and the Restaurant Week boil, adding a whole lobster for an extra $20. We also ordered drinks. I had the Raspberry Martini, and he had the Clawlatta, their take on a piña colada. Both cocktails were beautifully presented and perfectly balanced. Even though there were only two of us, our waiter pulled another table over so we had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the full seafood boil experience. It was a thoughtful touch that we appreciated. The Cajun spaghetti came out first, and it was delicious. It had a rich, flavorful sauce with a nice kick of spice that lingered at the end without being overwhelming. Then... came the BOIL!! I ordered the garlic butter seasoning with mild spice. The bag arrived piping hot, filled with plenty of shrimp, the whole lobster, potatoes, and lots of flavorful buttery broth. Everything was fresh, hot, and seasoned perfectly. It was messy in the best way and absolutely delicious. When we first arrived, there was only one other occupied table. By the time we left, the restaurant had filled up with several larger groups, yet the service and attention to us, was consistent. Every dish came out hot and savory, the hostess and waiter remained attentive throughout our meal, our water glasses were never empty, and the overall hospitality was excellent. Including drinks, the lobster upgrade, tax, and tip, our total came to about $175 for two people. Considering the quality of the food, generous portions, drinks, and outstanding service, I thought it was well worth it. I would definitely come back.

Instead of buy different baggies of seafood boil, we chose the mad combo option!! You pick 5 lbs of seafood, sauce, and spice level.

Everything came out super quick and everyone was friendly and attentive even though they were busy on a Friday evening. We were so shocked how delicious the appetizers were!! We ate it super fast while we waited for our main seafood combo. Our combo came out on a beautiful giant platter and we all stared at it asking ourselves how will we finish all this?

We all agreed that we wanted to come back again and even try to come before 6pm because there is happy hour for cocktails!! FYI tips are included if you're a party of 4 or more.
