Good food, good vibes! Great happy hour and great service from Chris! My new favorite spot.

Have been waiting for this place to open... well it's delicious ! The seafood is fresh and the spices are on point. Ordered two boils - Lobster/crawfish & blue crabs with a side of the tempura purple potatoes. Plenty of food for two, leaving us mighty full ! The staff is super welcoming, friendly, and very attentive. Our waitress was able to give recommendations and answer all questions, if Sharon is your waitress you're in good hands! Can't wait go to back and try more :) read more

The baked clams appetizer were tiny. Wife ordered the mussels and I got the shrimp, came with a tiny piece of corn and a couple of potatoes in a bag. I paid $3 extra for headless shrimp and they came unpeeled, by the time I peeled the shrimp with the sauce on, it got cold. No bread, not even salt and pepper on the table. The only reason I give it 1 star, the garlic butter sauce was good. Very pricey and very little food, had to go out to eat after, would not repeat. read more

This was my first time coming here and I will definitely be back again and again. The quality of the raw oysters and raw clams were extremely fresh and delicious. We came during happy hour and also got Cajun fries & calamari, and a couple of drinks. The calamari itself was not your typical calamari but had a unique taste that really amazed us. The prices were unbeatable, $1/pc for the raw bar, apps were under 8$ and 6$ cocktails. My friends got the lobster roll and the seafood boil, can't say anything other than perfect. Katie was our server/bartender for the night and she was amazing! She tended to every one of our needs and questions, just great great service! Thank you Katie!!! We also wanted to thank Ken for his hospitality; very kind and such a people pleaser! We appreciate you guys for a great night and will return soon! :) read more

Cajun Claws - Bars Near Me - Patchogue, New York

First time going and was not disappointed! Started with the Brussel sprouts and wings for apps. Both very good. For entrees my mother and I shared the ultimate boil... AMAZING! We got it with snow crab legs, mussels, and shrimp and chose the Cajun sauce with it. Sauce was amazing but I would definitely say it's medium spice rather than low.. I love spicy food but my mom can't take that much and she said it was a little spicy. Definitely didn't stop her from eating it though and we would get that sauce again! We also got the garlic butter on the side for dipping and let me tell you.. DO THIS! All the sauces look so good I can't wait to try more next time I go! My husband ordered the surf and turf and it was also delish. Very berry mojitos are also good. In all this place was great, pricey but great and definitely enough for two people to share the boil. Also I read a tip on here to add the noodles to the boil.. DO IT!!! read more

I will be back!!!!( i think its sums this up) on to details: contemporary place, nice big bar with huge TVs. We had oysters & claims- raw, they was very fresh, rock shrimp appetizer - was lightly fried & tasty. Main attraction- seafood boil: we got snow crabs- one with lemon/ butter - it was good, my favorite was Cajun house blend- very tasty, & messy... thanks god they give you gloves, apron & napkins!!!! I wish i could mix flavors in 1/2 lb & 1/2lb other . read more

Love, love, love this place. Drinks and food on point every single time. Never disappointed.

So glad we ate here. We were there opening day. Had the Lobster and crawfish boil.They give you a choice of sauce and spice.I had cajun spice with the hottest sauce,it was so delicious.It was great having something different for a change.They have many other boil combinations on the menu.We shared the dragon drink,that was served in a bowl set on fire with 151 rum,yes it's that big ! The prices are reasonable,the waite staff were very nice and informative .Great New Orleans food.The restaurant is simply decorated and casual,and packed.If you dont mind wearing a bib and getting your hands dirty,its a fantastic food experience. read more

Just stopped in and had some appetizers. The grilled scallops were tasty and the Brussels sprouts were amazing. Great atmosphere too. Our bartender, Katie, was very attentive and she made great recommendations. She's also super friendly! Will come back again for sure!! read more

Went there last night, this is the 1st review I've ever done. We were a Party of 4. Service was slow. Drinks were terrible. Ordered Margarita's for $11.. and such tiny glasses for a margarita. Our friends appetizer was scallops which were small and we had to wait over 35 minutes after for our Calamari Appetizer to come out. Waitress was nice, there apparently was a big language barrier between the cooks and the wait staff. We ordered 3 boilers of king crab legs and 1 whole lobster. After waiting and 1 hr and 15 minutes for after ordering. It comes out in a plastic bag on a plate with the garlic butter sauce dumped in it. A small piece of corn and under cooked potatoes. It was so messy to eat, I felt like a savage.my hands were filthy and greasy trying to crack the crab legs with all that garlic butter on it. And they gave you 1 large crab leg and 1 small. Totally not enough for the $38 meal. We left hungry after spending $300. I don't know where those pics are from that ppl are posting but that's not how our food looked. After looking online at the Louisiana Cajun claws, the sauces are in small plastic cups on the side. Not All dumped in a plastic bag and definitely more food on the plate. We felt ripped off. read more

This place was everything it's hyped up about. Crab cake sandwich was awesome, oysters were fresh and the lobster roll was on point. Couldn't be happier with our experience here. They have earned a customer for life. read more

Sooooo awful. The food is almost inedible. The corn is frozen, the filet mignon was the cheapest cut of meat I've ever been served in a restaurant, the crab was extremely salty which means they put a ton of salt in the water, the marinara sauce that came with the calamari was from a jar and gross, the soup tasted like Campbell's, the octopus was like bubblegum and the baked clams were dry and flavorless. Now, had it been cheap then maybe I could understand some of that but they charge top tier prices. They don't even give a side salad and they should so that you'd have at least one thing you could eat at your dinner cause you can't fuck up a salad. Not to mention that they actually served Alaskan king crab legs with plastic utensils!!! The waitress was a doll and I gave her $27 on a check a bit over $100 bucks but only cause I know she's not gonna have a job much longer. No restaurant with food like that can stay in business for long even if it were cheap and this place is expensive. Disgusting, awful and inedible. McDonalds has much better food. I'm not even exaggerating. Revolting. Every good review HAS to be friends and family of the owners. Worst restaurant dinner of my life and I'm middle aged. This is the first review I've ever done on anything btw. read more

For a girls day out with my grandmother and my mom I decided to bring them here. Louie was amazing from the moment he said hello. He made some great suggestions. We're definitely coming back again!! read more

My husband, son & I went here for the 1st time for our birthdays & we had a GREAT experience. Our waitress was Liliana and she was AWESOME!!! She was very attentive and super nice. Just because of her alone we would come back - and the food was good too. read more

Kyle is just amazing, always welcoming and kind good selection craft beers it would be nice if they had franks red hot sauce.. just saying

I used to love coming here but it's extremely upsetting how they've started going out of their way to nickel and dime you out of EVERYTHING. Once upon a time ago we used to love getting our seafood boils but the last time we ordered a boil, it was practically dry so we order sauce to cover our side of pasta as it wasn't even enough to flavor the noodles. They charged us for the sauce. The pasta was barely four ounces of that...we had to order more because the serving size is so pathetically small. The corn was also flavorless as if added to the boil way too late because it didn't absorb any seasoning. Skip ordering the expensive bread...just more tiny portions. The new sushi roll on the happy hour menu is great but too small to be worth $8. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth and we spend good money here every time we eat out. We were annoyed to say the least. We honestly enjoy the food but intentionally under serving with small portions to trap clients into buying more food & paying hidden fees is a gross practice...it leaves a bad taste in our mouths... read more

Most people come for the seafood but you've got to try to Tangy Chili Wings. Appetizer (5 wings) $8. So worth it! The skin is crispy like double fried Bonchon wings. Each wing is glazed with a thin layer of caramelized flavor hitting the perfect combination of tang, heat, and sweetness. Came here on a Sunday around 2pm. Place was packed! Server Joe was excellent -- attentive, friendly, professional. Took great care of his customers. The seafood boils are great but just wanted to dedicate this review to their amazing wings. read more

This was a great choice for dinner! Outside seating, great and friendly staff and delicious food! Plenty of choices for good and drinks. Kids plates are served in a kid dividing plate with the food not touchingly! Definitely can people watch as you are underneath the apartment building and the entrance is right next to the place. Traffic is kind of loud. read more

I've been to Cajun claws with my family many times and loved it. The lobster bisque soup is amazing and the crab legs are delicious. My fav crab place on long island read more

This place is awesome and the food is fantastic. Me and my friends all went there this weekend and we had so much funny. The owner, the manager and the head chief all came out to greet us and all ask how was the service. They were very friendly and funny at the same time. We hanged out at the bar initially when we came in while we were still waiting on the rest of our friends. Once they all got here, the owner, Ken, brought us to our table. This weekend was one of my best friends' birthday so Ken made some awesome arrangements in the end for us. We had all the stuff members and all the chief in the kitchen to come out and celebrated with us. The seafood in this place was so awesome and we had decided to take so many photos of it because the presentation of each dish was so beautiful. I was to personally thank all the owners, the manager and all the chief for our wonderful evening over this weekend!! read more

First time at Cajun Claws and it's been a great experience! Kyle is a great bartender and super helpful! Definitely will come back here!

The lump crabmeat salad was very good but a bit small. The rock shrimp was very good as well and the portion was good for this appetizer. The ultimate boil was plentiful but the seafood in it was very overcooked. And i got a medium spice level and it was quite hot. A very messy meal as well. read more

Great seafood boil! Recommend this spot for anyone in the patchogue area. I recommend the lobster and snow crab boil cooked in Cajun blend sauce. Also add garlic butter sauce on the side. read more

Yuk. Just yuk. Flavorless food that I had to play with in order to eat it. Not my thing at all.

Can't miss! Try the wings! Went for Monday lobster - fantastic. Did a wine Wednesday- nice selection and great staff.

We stuck with the happy hour menu. Rock shrimp was very tasty, fried calamari was a bit chewy. And the oysters were very fresh. Worth the money. read more

The food portions are decent. Prices are ok. The chicken poppers where wet on the inside and dry, almost like they put batter on them but didn't fry them. Yuck. The cheesecake was frozen. The worst part was that we saw a roach. When I talked to the person in charge, he shrugged and said it's summertime and they come through the doors! read more

This is out 1st trip to Cajun Crab the food was amazing service was great. The food had the right amount of kick and drinks were well made

My first visit to Cajun Claws was a good one. I will be back! Food was excellent (crab legs slightly overcooked but still tasty) and the service (Shannon) was friendly and efficient. Layout and décor of the restaurant were both impressive. I can see this being a great happy hour spot or even a night spot. It's just off Main Street, so perhaps the crowds would be less oppressive than the Main Street places. Would love to see them introduce a happy hour with live music. The bar is huge - plenty of room for fun! read more

Amazing place! We are from New Orleans, and the food is 100% authentic Cajun, comparable to some of the best back home. I ordered the crawfish boil, and it was better than expected. Very happy to have this place in town! read more

When I heard it was opening I got all excited. Once I had their food, not so much, it is very pricey and the food is actually just OK. I will not be going back read more

First time coming here on a Saturday night . Didn't have to wait at all to be seated which was very surprising seeing as how patchogue is busy Saturday nights. Appetizers came out fast and hot and amazingly delicious . Ordered king crab legs and they were so full of crab meat the seasoning was perfect . Overall I highly recommend Cajun claws !!! Plan on coming back very soon !! read more
