We were a party of 4 yesterday and the food made us sick and had to go to urgent care. The mussels tasted funny and we didn't finish them. My kids were violently throwing up. The next day which is today. We've been in bed whole day. The service was slow and the server messed up on the bill. The host questioned my child (which is a minor) about if the bill was taken care of instead of finding out from the server himself. How dare you question a minor instead of the adult to see if the bill was cleared. If I was there that wouldn't have happened. I stepped away to go to the washroom after paying the bill, which was incorrect. I even questioned it and was reassured that it was correct. To only have my child questioned about something they would know nothing about. Teach your staff about approaching children about adult matters. The setting was ok. It's just that the food wasn't fresh, tasteless, and made our stomach hurt and had to go to urgent care. We will not be rerunning that business again and I highly recommend that you don't either. read more

The ambiance was nice. The location was not car friendly. It is a short walk from the Barclays Center. Good for a late day happy hour. The close at 10pm or 22:00 hours. A little pricey read more

We've had better! We usually go to hook and reels but wanted to try something different. Why did we do that? The sauces were not that good. The garlic bread is covered in garlic and parm cheese. I requested head off and got head on but couldn't eat it because it wasn't clean (if you know you know). The capri drinks were okay and probably the best part of the meal. I'm no longer a fan. read more

Went out for a date night on a rainy Wednesday evening for some Cajun! Service was friendly and attentive. Pretty casual setting. Ordered the grilled oysters, deviled eggs, crawfish queso, and large seafood gumbo to eat. They had one beer option - bottle of Stella - $5 happy hour, and spouse chose the bayou mamba adult capri sun, which she enjoyed. I'd say this place surpassed some modest expectations. I'd definitely go again for the queso and gumbo! Oysters were good. Eggs were enjoyable but nothing special. A pleasant surprise! Good to have the option relatively close to home. read more

Overall I like Claw Daddy's but idk what happened with my delivery order. From grub hub I got the seafood file gumbo, creole jambalaya and an order of southern chicken wings. My issue was with the wings. No flavor and I didn't like seeing the feathers on the wings. Yuck. read more

I went to Claw Daddy's with a friend for an early dinner, and we enjoyed the food overall! The boudin balls and popcorn crawfish were delicious, and I tried the freshly shucked oysters, which were decent but not standout. The adult Capri Sun (an alcoholic drink in a pouch) was fun, and my friend liked his gumbo and a beer. The space is large and comfortable, though the service was just okay. As someone with family in Southern Louisiana, I think Claw Daddy's is one of the better southern spots in the area, but it could use a bit more authentic Southern hospitality. Little touches like checking in more often, a warm greeting, or complimentary small bites (like hush puppies) would definitely enhance authentic southern experience and help keep customers engaged and returning for more. read more

I was out and about in the neighborhood and decided to stop in my all time fav spot for happy hour. The happy hour is Everyday from 5-6:30 and I believ All day on Tuesdays!!! The entrance has changed to Atlantic now instead of the side door. On the menu I noticed that they have added lobster roll. The inside is still cozy and vibe is still nice; service is always fast. I ordered as usuall baked oysters which were very good, I had a check in free side offer and I got the garlic noodles-they were everything so so good, then I ordered the wings, and they were good as well. For my drink I had the Bideleria adult Capri, and the Bayou Mambo which is a new cocktail both drinks were good. Then Jose the bartender made me the Purple Love and I did fall in love, I liked it a lot. I hope they put it on the menu. I have missed this place and i will try to visit more often. And I definitely recommend it! read more

Extremely weak Cajun food. Everything had way too much oil or cream in it. Not to mention they gave me a small gumbo when I ordered a large (either way, you're not missing out, it's pretty average). The garlic bread had way too much garlic on it, it was overpowering. The bbq shrimp were not tender and were a pain to peel. The jumbalaya lacked flavor. The seafood pasta had so much cream and oil in it, it was literally sopping. While I haven't had the opportunity to explore too many Cajun options in NY yet, I'll wager there are better places out there and this place can most certainly be skipped. read more

Great happy hour spot by a lot of different train stations on Atlantic avenue. The drinks are soju based only, which we didn't know. I had one pouch and felt surprisingly buzzed. We shared the chicken wings which were crispy and very seasoned. The raw oysters were good. I would probably get more raw oysters than the grilled ones. The grilled clams were better than the grilled oysters as well. The sweet potato fries were thick and crunchy. I would come back again. read more

Had no problem walking in without an rsvp and being seated around 8pm on a Saturday. Service was slow for a Saturday night and the boil was tasty but something was missing to give it that UMPH factor. I got a coconut pineapple mojito in a pouch which was just "ehh" tasted more like juice and had a lot of ice in it. read more

We came here one day to try their happy hour at extremely low prices! Upon entering it was quite busy so they sat us in the back near the bar which was a lot more quieter than the front. We paid $1.50 for each oyster and $2 for the grilled ones and $1 per chicken wings! Since I was on an alcohol cleanse I ordered the Louisiana unsweetened tea but it was quite expensive and only for a normal iced tea... I felt like I'm definitely gonna pass on this one next time. It was strong enough but I could probably make this at home, ngl. The oysters were fresh and tasted fine... the real winner of this place is actually the grilled oysters. Those were worth every penny! Along with the chicken wings! The chicken wings were super crispy but not in a thick breaded way which is exactly what I like! Since I live super close to this place I would totally come back again to try their other dishes but I really love how affordable the happy hour is so I would probably come just for the grilled oysters and the chicken wings and definitely for a drink next time when I'm off my alcohol cleanse! read more

Happy hour is the main reason why we stopped here. $1.50 oysters and $1 wings sounded like a steal and the taste was pretty good. The boil sauce was very good and everything was tasty. I would say they should probably add a waiter or two, as it did look like only 2 waiters were on staff. read more

I love the food and drinks! The location where it is (Manhattan location) is a hot spot and you'll also be able to find things to do after. Only thing I have a complaint on is the space, I think there should be some type of coat check (especially with dealing with seafood and the mess that comes with it), and the feeling of being rushed. read more

We went to Claw Daddy's to celebrate a birthday. Ambiance: I want to start out by saying that their music playlist is fire. Lol. The place has two areas, one for sitting down to eat and the other is the bar area. The ambiance in the sitting area is comfortable enough for families and friends to enjoy. Food: the food was ok, it wasn't out of the ballpark good, but it was good enough that I wouldn't mind going back for happy hour oysters and drinks. The service was ok as well. They were very nice but they were not on top of their game. They forgot a few things, we had to let them know a few times, and in the end we just took the "L" and ate the boil without the nutcracker (I googled it...the tool to crack lobster and crab is known as a nutcracker...lol). Overall, I think the experience was ok. It's good for families but the prices are typical nyc prices on the high side. So I recommend it to people who want a quick bite and drinks for happy hour. read more

I had high expectations for this place as I've been wanting to try it for a while. We came for their happy hour, which online says it's all day on Tuesday and until 7:30 on all other days. However, when we arrived on a Tuesday, it seems like they changed their policies and it did indeed end on 7:30. We ordered the raw oysters, the wings, and the grilled clams. The food took quite a while to come out, so we weren't able to order more before the happy hour ended. The raw oysters were probably the worst oysters I've ever had. They were between room temperature and warm, despite being on a bed of ice so I'm guessing they were sitting out for a while. With one taste, I knew these were definitely not fresh. They were very fishy and tasted old. Some of them also looked a bit strange. My friend and I were genuinely worried that we'd get food poisoning from them. The grilled clams were slightly better, but still quite small for what you get. They were covered in a butter Parmesan sauce, but I wish they were saucier and juicier. They were pretty average in my opinion. The redeeming part of the meal were the wings, as they were perfectly crispy and seasoned. They came with ranch sauce and they had a lot of meat on the bones and were still juicy. I wish we skipped the seafood all together and just ordered more wings. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back. The seafood was not fresh at all and I felt queasy afterwards. Not worth the risk! read more

Came here right before a show at BAM for their happy hour deal, which is absolutely excellent! $1.50 for oysters, $2 for grilled oysters and $1 chicken wings (which we didn't have this time) plus some drink specials too. Everything tasted fresh and delicious - I'm not usually a fan of grilled oysters but I felt like I could eat a dozen of these on my own. We also got a lobster roll and cajun fries, both of which I remember fondly. The staff seemed a little overwhelmed (maybe there weren't enough of them for the night?) but they still got our food out, joked around a bit with us, and rushed our last dish to us in a takeout container when we told them we really needed to make our show. Will definitely go back again when I have more time to leisurely enjoy them. read more

After work vibes and celebrating 19 & 22 years working for New York City! The staff were very warm and nice. From the front door to being seated and served was wholesome. It was a very cold night and the restaurant was warm and cozy. It was busy too! Esmeralda was such a delight and Jose complemented the service team very well. The shareable appetizers were delicious, from the grilled oysters to the crawfish Queso dip with tortilla chips. The grilled oysters was deliciously mouthwatering and I wanted more lol. The have a special that ends at 7:30pm daily so check them out. The Queso dip had crawfish bits in it and it was a delight to the mouth, very tasty and we added a mild hot sauce to it. Simply yum! We enjoyed the pasta dishes with shrimps and crawfish. I had the pastalaya with shrimp and crawfish and my company had the linguine with shrimp and crawfish. The cream was nice and tasty but heavy. We couldn't finish it and we packed them to go home. We both had mock tails and it was okay. I checked in with yelp and got a free side order! Yay! So we tried the garlic pasta. It was nice and more like a "a night out with carbs" lol We will definite return for the delightful service and sweet, tasty and delicious food! I'm trying something from the boil menu next time! Check them out and they have a location in the city too! read more

We were visiting the area and stopped here after asking a trusted local friend for a recommendation. I should have used Yelp. The oysters were among the smallest I've ever seen. Everything was served on disposable dishes. I ordered seafood gumbo which tasted terrible. About half way through it I discovered they had mistakenly served me chicken and sausage gumbo. Once I brought it to their attention, they took it off our bill. read more

As huge seafood boil fans we were excited to try Claw Daddy's for the first time and for the most part were very pleased (thanks for the Yelp free side coupon!). We loved the former boil place and CD's is much more spacious and filled out with seating including booths. Service was fast and friendly (we came on the later side on a Saturday night and had no wait). Snow crab boil is the reason we came, and it was great. We tried the medium Cajun (quite spicy) and mild garlic butter sauces. The crab was meaty, sweet and all around cooked really perfectly. Props to CD's for providing the crucial crab tool, crab scissors! The rest of our food was fine but not same level as the crab: garlic butter shrimp (ok but over cooked), Cajun fries (good and not greasy, but maybe not a standout). The raspberry iced tea was definitely southern style sweet tea (crazy sweet) and probably should be labeled as such That said, the crab is reason enough to return, and we will! read more

Caught up with a friend on a Sunday evening at Claw Daddy's. We had reservations, but as large as this place is, I don't think it was really needed. I was a bit taken aback when I walked up to the door and saw an actual door guy. I was confused as to whether I was at a restaurant or a club, but maybe Claw Daddy's has that type of atmosphere on the weekends. My friend and I both ordered the claw boil, as well as a couple of appetizers and drinks. The great thing about this spot is that happy hour is offered every day, including weekends. The one thing that annoyed me - I checked in on Yelp to redeem the check-in offer, which was one free side dish. For some reason, the app was showing that I checked in, but wouldn't pull up the actual redemption page. The waiter could see that I hit the check-in button and was checked in, and could not pull up the offer page, and still wouldn't honor the deal. We got the sides anyway, but I thought this was a missed opportunity to offer some good customer service. Aside from that, the sauce on the seafood was meh. I've had way better. Not exactly sure why this place is so popular, but maybe seafood boil options in Brooklyn are hard to come by. Either way, I don't expect to come back to this place again. read more

This was my very 1st time at the 3rd Ave,Brooklyn location (I'm so used to the LES location on Orchard Street).Nevertheless I had a FABULOUS WAITER by the name of Hector. He was a delightful, courteous and pleasant.He made my somewhat not so good day into a GREAT Evening!The reason O gave ratings a 3 star was because prices on website was inaccurate..Happy hour prices were like $.50-$1 up from what was posted onlinevas well as frim what I recall.I qas told the prices were not updated on website. They also didn't have my usual "Mardi Gras" drink that I'm used to but was given another Adult caprisun that I was told is similar but to me it was straight up passionfruit juice with no Soju.My best waiter ,Hector,remade drink and it wayy better.Next,i brought the $37 seafood boil for 1 and was told it included 1/2 pound of snow crablegs,mussels,corn,potato,and 1/2 pounds shrimp..It literally was 6 shrimps heads on,6 mussels and snow crab legs which were mostly likely 1/2 pound, a 2 inch piece of bland unsweetened corn on cob and a baby potato the size of my pointy and middle finger..They spicy claw daddy sauce was ugood..Nevertheless, this wax my experience. Would I come back?Questionable..Definitely love the ambiance and waiter "Hector" as well as location. read more

Still one of my favorite happy hour place to get $1 wing , $1.50 raw oyster/clam, and $2 grilled oyster/clam. Always recommend to make reservations but you can probably grab a seat at their backyard or bar. Happy hour is everyday. Beautiful decor and spacious. Very nice bartender. Their claw daddy special sauce on the boil seafood is good but don't recommend to get mild, you need a little spice in your life. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend to try out their happy hour menu that's from open until 6:30pm. Since my friend is not a fan of raw oyster, we ordered the grilled oysters instead and it was really good! We also ordered a lb of shrimp in the special claw daddy sauce which was good but I had a few (dead and not so fresh) mushy shrimp in our bags. The cajun fries was good and the side of spinach was ok. The adult capri sun mojitos was delicious and packs a punch! Pro: food and service Con: a few dead shrimp and had to sit inside because outdoor seating is not open until 5pm. It's still the midst of covid so I feel like outdoor seating is a must especially if you have the space available. read more

The food and service was nice. We had the jambalaya and crab dip it was very flavorful.

I always go to the one in orchard street. I was in the area and decided to give this one a try. The food came out pretty quick the service was good and fast she was very sweet. The alligator bites are my favorite, I always get them when I come here. The shrimp was cooked a little too much is was a little hard but it was still good. The crab legs are always delicious and the scissor they give you is the best to get into them. The sauce was flavor full and enough to dip in it you would like. read more

Had SO much fun with my friends here! We were a group of 6 - ordered fresh oysters, grilled oysters, wings, and crawfish Mac & cheese to start. It was happy hour so drinks and certain apps (like oysters and wings) were cheaper. Everything was amazing - esp the fresh oysters and mac & cheese. The boil seafood was great as well - I particularly enjoyed the mussels and snow crab legs. This is a perfect spot for a group dinner. So fun and delicious! :) Service was great - staff was fast and friendly. read more

Haven't been here in a while but its still as good as I remembered ... the drink menu changed up a bit but the drinks are still good my favorite is the moonlight magic once you pour your lemon shot in there it changes color. The garlic butter shrimp was nice and light and garlic flavored. The crawfish queso dip nice and cheesy with a generous amount of crawfish in every dip. Happy hour is the best here 5pm to 730pm. Love the oysters and wings, and don't forget the crawfish Mac and cheese one of my faves here. Service here is great, food is great and the drinks never disappoint. read more

Another successful visit to claw daddy's, only thing I've ever complained about was the hours.. they don't open til 5pm and they're closed on my days off mon-tues.. but I managed to stop by yesterday and the amazing service and flavors have not changed. I got their happy hour charbroiled oysters ($2 each) and a happy hour cocktail ($3 off) along with their garlic noodles and a shrimp/crab/sausage boil combo with the claw daddy sauce *chefs kisses* I'm so glad I wasn't driving because just 1 drink had me leaning lol.

This place is amazing. I am from California so grew up on Boiling Crab and thought their sauce was the best I had had, but now the Claw Daddy's Special sauce is by far my favorite. I even asked to take my leftover sauce home to try to cook some of my own shrimps in it. I have been here several times since and it never disappoints. The shrimp seafood boil with Claw Daddy's Sauce is a must-order here. Other foods that I really enjoyed here were the grilled oysters (only $1.50 for happy hour) and the jambalaya. The drinks are a great price for happy hour, though they are a bit too strong for me -- it's good to know you're getting your money's worth. read more

Food prices are actually decent. The bartender is super nice he'll come up to our table and always make sure we're good on drinks.

Ah what can I say, claw daddy is our regular date night spot because of my love for seafood. We go there at least once a month. There's security at the front door which make you feel safe immediately, the hostesses are always super nice and kind, there times we've showed up way before our reservations time and they still seated us. The ambiance is always great, it feels like you're walking into a retro kitchen, wooden panels, news paper wall paper and hints of reds and pink. I love southern food so they never disappoint, because the food is always consistent. My go to fave is the crawfish Mac and cheese, the 2 pound king crab legs boiled in water no seasoning (because I can't handle spicy food ) and if we're super hungry we get the wings, crab cake bites and the alligator bites. You will be in heaven when you taste their food, just be sure to wear stretch pants because you won't be able to move for a bit after read more

This spot was talked about highly in NY so upon a short visit I decided to try the restaurant out. We were seated as a group of four and started to order our drinks. After we started to go through the menu and had a plethora of questions as far as the manner in which they do these combinations, coming from the south were used to adding headless shrimp (as an option), sausage ect ect and their not nearly as expensive or were not charges for add one like potato's and corn. Anyway we decided to order our meal and then more issues arised. The meal came before the drinks which was VERY unusual and something that has almost never happened to me before. Then the meal came and it was just basic, the seafood didn't seem to soak up all the seasonings and then based of what was already happening I decided to check the shrimp and it was not deveined. It all made sense to me now, over priced food and then worst poorly prepared. The liquor and the service was possible the best part of the experience. I believe this restaurant to be as big as it is only because ,well, it's seafood. Any other reason then it wouldn't be as good. I wouldn't come back what so ever, I don't even want to talk about what the bill looked like. For those of you who read this, stay safe by ordering the po-boys, fries and other menu items you k ow are safe and hard to mess up. read more

Love Claw Daddy's and will definitely be coming back. We had a reservation for Friday night but came a bit earlier to enjoy the happy hour upstairs in the lounge. Who can resist $8 adult kool aid pouches, $1 wings, and $1.50 grilled oysters? We ordered 16 grilled oysters because they were just so good and we couldn't resist! The wings were good too and very crispy. The best part is that the drinks actually were strong. After one, we were buzzed. After two, we were borderline drunk. For our main food, we shared the Mac and cheese ($6). It was small but still yummy. We also got the pound of shrimp with Claw Daddys sauce, medium spice, they were amazing! The service is just a little slow. read more
