    Garlic Cajun Fries
    Christina P.

    So we were in the area and were looking for somewhere good to eat, and The Blazin Claw popped up, so we decided to give it a try. It's located in a shopping center, so parking was fairly easy, which is always a plus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is very open and spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When we arrived, the place was pretty busy. We were seated right away, but it quickly became clear that they were short-staffed. One woman appeared to be handling all of the tables, I'm assuming she was the owener, and although she was doing her best, she was clearly overwhelmed. More customers kept coming in, and you could tell some people were getting frustrated while waiting to order or pay. We were patient and understood she was working hard. Once the food came out, it was worth the wait. Everything we ordered had really good flavor. The garlic Cajun fries were delicious, and the garlic shrimp noodles were one of my favorites. We also ordered Combo #2, and the snow crab legs were actually a really good size. The gentleman working in the back, who I'm guessing may have been one of the owners, came out and was helpful when we needed something. Both he and the woman seemed to be doing everything they could, but the restaurant definitely could use more staff during busy times. My only food critique would be the sausage, it tasted more like a regular hot dog, and I would have preferred a real sausage link. I also wanted to order melted butter for dipping but never got the chance because things were so hectic. Overall, the food was flavorful and satisfying, and I can understand why this place is popular. If they improve staffing during peak hours, the experience would be even better. I would go back if i'm in the area.

    Norwalk's best shrimp place for sure will definitely recommend, customer service Here is great quick very friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]restaurant inside is very clean plenty of seating for big group parties as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant has TVs available. Great when sporting events are going on[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] ,menu has so many options is great, price always good will be back soon

    Our first time here and our server T was so helpful. Customer server was amazing. The food and Cajun fries was delicious. The recommendations for the sauce was delicious too. My family and myself will be back. Thank u T.

    Happy hour

    I've been coming here for years because of their great quality of food, excellent customer service led by Thi, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is always fantastic when there's a Dodger game playing on their TV.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All of their food is amazing, but I consistently tend to order their Blazing Claw Combo #1 spicy, with whole shrimp, mussels, clams, and extra potatoes, along with a side of steamed rice. This meal feeds about four people and costs me $62 with tip. Stop by and enjoy their food, and Thi will take good care of your party.

    I love this place! And yes, I have had the others! The young lady and gentleman that run this place are so hard working! We always come here when we are craving shrimp in a bag. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love that it is semi hidden and that it's usually never crowded; easy to get a booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This last time that we came it was a Friday during lent and like any other seafood spot..it was BUSY! We still got a booth![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As soon as we entered, the young lady told us to give her some time as she had three big parties ahead of us and we were okay with it. It was the first time I saw this placed PACKED! Yes the service was a little slow but because it was only two of them! We didn't mind! We ordered 1/2 dozen oysters; they were fresh and tasty! We also got two pounds of head on shrimp (mild, blazin' sauce) no extras, garlic noodles, and the lemon pepper garlic fries! I got a lemonade and my bf got a Michelin ultra on draft.

    Peeled Shrimp 1 Lb with potatoes and sausage
    Paloma J.

    Ordered here getting my son his first shrimp boil for his early bday celebration. The ordering was easy and straight up. It was ready in good time packaged right and still hot when we got home. The shrimp were a really good size nice and plump cooked perfectly. The potatoes were soft and seasoned well. Corn was soft and the sausage was pretty good had a smoky flavor. Garlic flavor was on point I asked for. O spice but I still got a nice lil punch in the end sometimes Perfect! Even when I was done I couldn't help eating the sauce with garlic. The prices were really good. Compared to other places and you get a bit more than others. We both enjoyed our dinner and will be back for more.

    We have been here a few times alone ! Today we came with our daughters soccer team they loved it ! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE !!

    Gladys N.

    I am not sure how this place is empty. I'm a "boiling crab is the best that exist" person but this place was very good. Service was nice and the place is clean. We ordered blazing claw shrimp, popcorn shrimp and garlic Cajun fries. All the food was delicious and you can't go wrong with 5 dollar drafts. Definitely a spot I'd come back to if in the mood and not wanting to wait 2 hrs to be seated elsewhere. I'd recommend!

    Bones in salmon and they give out sporks as utensils. Really they do.
    Carlos F.

    So, the garlic salmon had a ton of bones in it. The menu doesn't say that it does have bones. Thought it was an honest cook oversight. Server/ manager (the only person there) came to our table and told me that all salmon at restaurants have bones in them. Could you imagine how a yelp elite member felt hearing that ? Like I've never had decent salmon at a restaurant. So, the condescending attitude was its own thing, she didn't bother to replace it, apologize, or anything. I can't wait to pass by one day and see this place long gone.

    came here for the 2 lbs for $25 seafood boil! really good deal for sharing with someone else…read more we ordered the: * shrimp seafood boil - ordered with full house sauce, mild spice, and added white rice. i typically get spiced out easily and, mild wasn't too spicy. will try medium spice next time. * cajun fries - pretty tasty and had a nice crunch. came with chipotle mayo and ketchup. * soju - our server let us know about the buy 2 soju and get 1 free deal, so we got peach, green grape, and plum. it was good enough for 4 people. we came on a tuesday night and there was no wait. they gave us gloves and bibs. plenty of seating available. clean bathroom.

Pirates Kitchen is located in the City Plaza (in the same plaza and next to Bakers & Baristas and La Tavolata). The ambiance here is very fun and playful with a mural of pirates, ropes, lifeguard rescue tubes, and barrels! Staff here is very friendly, sweet, and attentive! They are quick to take your order and checks in with you to make sure if you need new gloves, ketchup, limes, etc. You can veto choose your 1) Seafood, 2) Flavor, 3) Spice level, and 4) Add-ons. I usually order their shrimp with their Full House flavor - mild spice level, which consists of all three of your flavors: Garlic Butter, Lemon Pepper, and PK Sauce. For add-ons, I like getting their corn and garlic bread to absorb all that delicious flavor. Of course, you can't forget the Cajun Fries! I've also tried their steak tacos, soy garlic wings, and seafood cream pasta. The pasta is nice and creamy! I'd pass the tacos and wings. They also have seafood gumbo, clam chowder, and half or full half-shell oysters. I really appreciate their wide variety, which has me coming back regularly!

    Came here for a Saturday night dinner with a group of four. There were open tables available, but…read moreit still took a little while to get seated. Overall, the service was slightly slow but still tolerable. We ordered the shrimp, sausage, mussels, Cajun fries, and wings. Pro tip: ask for gloves, since they don't provide them initially. The sauce was flavorful, but unfortunately, the shrimp didn't seem as fresh as I would have liked. When peeling the shells, they weren't coming off easily, and the meat was slightly soft, which can be a sign that the shrimp wasn't at its freshest. Overall, this is a very solid spot that has everything you need when you're craving Cajun-style shrimp. It's a great place to satisfy that craving without having to deal with as much of a crowd. That said, while the overall experience was good, the quality of the seafood was slightly lacking.

    Highly recommended! Crab was cooked perfect and came out nice and clean (can't say that about…read moreother crab spots in the area)..The place was not super busy but we were glad about that.. we came in about an hour before closing.. Lily took care of us and she was great! So sweet and friendly ! We ordered "hot" for our boil, we did ask for our bag to be sent back for a little more spice:: and they did add the "super hot" which was still great flavor, just not super spicy compared to other crab boil spots we have been to. But the flavor was very very good and still had the spicy .. but now we do know we can even go up a level which we will do the next time we come back! The entire place was really clean! The one suggestion I would make is that they do need better napkins.. like paper towels because they just give basic small napkins and it isn't nearly enough. Other than that.. loved it ! We will be back !

I really enjoyed the carnitas plate which is served on a hot cast iron skillet, which I love because I prefer my carnitas crispy on the edges. Do note that they can overcook as well if you don't take them off the hot plate. Beans and rice were very good as well. GF ordered the enchiladas which she enjoyed, but has had better. Service was hit and miss, but we were a party of 12+ and the World Cup final was on the big screens. Order the churro cart for dessert, especially for a birthday. Made for great pics! Churro was just ok though :( good thing there was ice cream :) Biggest complaint has to be the salsas. The one with chips had no kick or flavor. I asked for spicier sauce which they do have, but was just ok flavor wise. Too many great Mexican and Mexican American restaurants with good food and better salsas to re-visit, so not sure I would be back. If in the area, it's worth a try and they do have big screens for games and the bar was pretty packed, so maybe worth the trip back for that and bring my own salsa :)
