I really enjoyed my food. I had a pound of shrimp with the claw daddy sauce in medium spice. The medium spice is not that spicy if you are use to hot food. The corn was okay. Not the best. The potatoes I had weren't that good either. Unfortunately I didn't try the adult caprisons, which did look delicious but our wonderful server gave us a complimentary shot. If you want to take your meal up a notch, add salt, pepper and some lemon and whew! The ambiance was also great. Good music that keeps you moving while you eat good food. I'll definitely go back when I visit NYC! read more

Only place I trust to eat raw oysters at. Great quality and the cheesy grits were amazing

Horrible service and rude guard at front door . Very strange makes you feel like there is a dicey bar inside with fights happening not the boil place Would not advise to go to this location especially if you don't like the loud music read more

My friends and I came to this location from New Jersey initially the service was just ok but as our food arrived we noticed a roach crawling on the wall next to our plates. We notified the waitress who had another service come and kill it. He killed the roach then showed us the dead roach immediately ruining our appetite. The server reassured us that we will be getting a discount on our check for the inconvenience only for it to be 9 dollars on an almost $200 check for 2 people. I will never be back. read more

The food was good and especially the happy hour grilled oysters. Those were a pleasant surprise. I was surprised to enjoy drinking my cola out of a pouch like a kid. My order wasn't completely correct , though delicious, so I took a star for that. read more

It was easy to book an online reservation, when we arrived at the half-empty restaurant they still managed to deliver terrible service. Won't be back. read more

The food and vibe here were great. I had the crawfish Mac and cheese, friend chicken, crab legs and one of the adult Capri suns. Everything was delicious. There was also a DJ who played really good music. Two things I didn't like 1) my friend I were told we have a 1.5 hour time limit and would have to get up if someone comes and there's no other tables. That's ridiculous to me. I'm supposed to watch the clock while I eat my food? We ended up not being rushed out and it was empty 2 hours later. 2) the tables were so close together that I felt like I was on top the people at the tables beside us. My dislikes won't deter me from returning though read more

If you're in Brooklyn and looking for some good seafood this is the place for you. The seafood boil had me licking my fingers by the end of my meal. I got a pound of their crawfish with lemon pepper sauce and level 3 spicy; and my boyfriend got a pound of the shrimp with garlic butter sauce and level 2 spicy. I also got an adult caprisun (which is made with soju) it was overall great I rated it 4 just because they didn't allow to sell half pounds (I was trying to get more than 1 lbs but not 2) and they made us throw out our water bottles outside. read more

It's a good boil spot, the flavors are good. I'd say that I'd wish they'd rethink their serving drinks in "Capri-Sun" like pouches ... while they are cute, the plastic waste hardly seems worth it. My daughter loves the shrimp in spicy Cajun sauce read more

I had their boil sea food. It was okay not great. The sauce was too tick for my usual lemon pepper

Love claw daddy's. The food is always wonderful, presentable and proportionate. I frequent to this spot for a good crab or lobster season boil. Seafood is my favorite and this establishment has my heart. I almost always gets the crab leg and shrimp/crawfish combo with potato and corn and I'm always filled. Great drinks as well and very different serving container from most places. read more

This location is smaller but equally popping compared to the other in the city, and no less of flavors to be found here! I always make sure to get ~half pound of seafood at least per person. Go to sauce is the Clawdaddy's original sauce, medium spicy, and add all the add ons to the boils haha. Great service, felt safe dining in, and always a fun time with the HH capri suns they have (pack quite the buzz!) read more

First time going to the Brooklyn location and the food was delicious and drink was very well made The only thing I am disappointed in was when I was being seated the (hostess) told me I had a time frame to sit and eat; I was a little taken back by that because I don't think you should express that to customers . I asked her what if I'm still eating at that time then she reply's that's the time frame policy. At that moment I felt pressure to order and rush to eat my food . . Policy or not staff should just keep it among themselves and not tell a customer they have a time to eat and drink Btw - my Waitress was amazing I can't remember her name but she was very professional thumbs up to you read more

I was super excited to go here for my anniversary and was looking forward to it for weeks. When we got seated there were two small mice running back and fourth in the outdoor space and waiters/manager didn't actually do anything about it. The space we were in was small enough for it be very noticeable and the mice were pretty close to where we were sitting. I'm normally not one to be overly picky about service but they then got our order wrong, and the shrimp was not properly deveined and still had poop going down the back!!! Overall I was very disappointed, when we told them about the mice we saw they weren't very accommodating as far as free drinks or anything. Definitely wouldn't go here again. read more

This place truly exceeded my expectations!! The food was amazing including the lobster roll which I highly recommend! The drinks were so good and strong! Huge portions, the 2lb combo was enough for two people for sure!! read more

I was with a diner who suffers from celiac disease and she inquired whether any of the sauces had any gluten in it. The server checked with the kitchen, came back and told her that it was safe. Great! So we ordered and our server left. Right after that, another guy (Asian guy. Owner? Manager? Owner's nephew?) came to our table and with a big smile, reassuringly told my gluten allergic and therefore sadly unfortunate dining partner, "There is no gluten in seafood. Don't worry." Like really, A. HAT.? People who avoid gluten for medical reasons are not aware that seafood is gluten free? She was asking about the sauce! While he may have been genuine about the whole thing, he just came across as condescending Ay. Eff. No complaints about the food or our server. They was A. alright. read more

Claw Daddy's - Seafood boil - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had the best time here, and it was not racist at all (no offense to Yelper Mark S.)! Cristal was our server and her killer smile and amazing attitude set the tone for a very happy happy hour. The vibe is wonderful, the drinks really will get you where you want to go, and no one rushes you at all. Happy Hour: Get the $1 wings, the $1.50 grilled clams, and the $1.50 grilled oysters in that order. Skip the raw oysters (they were ok but all the juice was tipped out, you can go up the street to Grand Army Plaza for raw). The spicy Capri sun and the passionfruit one were the best. Awesome crowd. A new grad wearing her cap and gown came in with her parents, and everyone cheered for her, including me and my sister, who cried. read more

I just want to start this review by saying that the food at Craw Daddy's is PHENOMENAL. Me and my girlfriend ordered the Louisiana Boil, which is an absolute must if you're eating here. We ordered a pound of Shrimp, Clams, Snow Crab legs, the special seasoning (definitely recommend), medium spice level (looking back would've gone with mild cause medium was very hot), corn, sausage, and potatoes. As stated before the food in the bowl was amazing, but definitely seemed out of proportion. I don't know if they were low on clams so they added extra shrimp to compensate? But there was definitely a proportion problem. We were also very surprised that the food did not fill us up as much as we had expected. Being from Delaware I expected to leave stuffed, but my girlfriend and I left still fairly hungry (which really should not be the case if we're spending over $100 on a meal). The alcoholic juice boxes were very good and I would recommend. The interior didn't seem to match the food (very bright and modern). Overall very good food, but at a very high price point for the amount of food you are getting. Side note, if you check into yelp you get a free french fries side read more

Claw Daddy's - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This was a birthday surprise dinner and it was great!! It was packed but we had a reservation which was a plus. The staff was wonderful, from the hostesses and our server Segundo. Dinner included snow crab/shrimp/sausage lemon pepper boil, gumbo, catfish po'boy, buttery garlicky shrimp, Mac & Cheese, spinach and grilled oysters. Everything was great!!! The flavors were on point, even the spinach. One point to management, Bay Leaf is non-digestible so I would suggest removing them after the cooking process. Please make sure to try one of the Adult Capri Suns. I tried the Just Dreaming and it was good! read more

Where do I start? Happy hour makes me very happy. The oysters for a buck is off the hook. I ordered one dozen and half. Grilled and raw. Both slamming. The adult caprisun is strong but very tasty. The snow crab legs and shrimps were fresh. Medium was still spicy for me and I can usually eat very spicy. So if you can't hang, don't do it to yourself. Overall, we balled out and the check was still small. Good deal and taste. Definitely coming back read more

I am a BIG fan of this establishment HOWEVER.. I've never been to the one in my hometown BROOKLYN before and honestly when my best friend who up here from Florida said let's go there... I was a little apprehensive and wasn't too sure about the location. I mean... it's in my hood BK forever right. Couldn't be that bad... HA! NEVER AGAIN... where do I begin... I will try to make this as sweet and short as possible... when I walked in with my daughter I was told I had to wait about 45-60 min for a table that I had thought we were already waiting for. Okay. Come to find out... my girlfriend put us down for a table of 6 but being that we all weren't present they sat the first 4 and we were the last 2. Unfortunately they didn't save room for us. So we had to wait for ANOTHER table just for TWO... when they finally got around to seating us the table was about 8 feet away from the rest of our party. Meanwhile the table for 2 that was sitting right next to them was opening up... they insisted that we couldn't sit there cause it was reserved for two... so ridiculous. After about 10 min of going back and forth with the manager about sitting us at the table closer to our party... they finally gave us the table. HOWEVER.. I was totally unmoved and annoyed by the whole situation that I just left. Didn't bother to eat. Left hungry. Unsatisfied. And will never ever again return to this location. read more

We walked in and were seated immediately. The place was pretty empty probably due to weather, which worked out in our favor anyway. Ordered the fried green tomatoes(which were amazeballlsz), adult Capri suns (Mardi gra flavor) and had the lobster, king crab and shrimp in claw daddy sauce. I am a huge fan of seafood and it was totally worth it. I loved everything. the sauce was flavorful and delicious, seafood was fresh and drinks were yummy! Will definitely be back!!!! Service was great too! Our waiter really tried his best read more

I used Yelp to make a last minute reservation a couple of hours before my desired dining time. Making the res was very easy, I even had to change it once. It was my first time coming to this location, and I didn't realize how big it was (that's what she said ). We entered through the bar entrance and walked to the other end of the restaurant to be seated which was awesome because I was able to see the whole space. My group was three people and we sat in a booth that felt spacious and somewhat secluded, which is usually difficult in NYC dining. We all got different adult Capri suns, all were delicious. The crawfish Mac & cheese tasted way better than I expected. I'm picky about Mac & cheese but this one definitely is a must try. I ordered the chicken thigh, collard greens, and red beans & rice. All were well seasoned and really hit the spot. The best part of our dining was our server, Yari. She was very attentive, observant, and gave us honest suggestions and recommendations. When you go, ask to sit in her section and I promise you'll leave feeling taken care of! read more

It's a Friday night and I foolishly didn't make a reservation before stepping in. Don't be a fool and make a reservation beforehand. Drinks- $11 for an alcoholic adult Capri Sun"style drink. Pretty good drinks. We also had the Peach Iced Tea which was pre-sweetened but not overpowering. Food- finger licking good Ambience- Fun, casual and they had a DJ playing a mix of R&B, Hip Hop and Old School jams. read more

This four stars is not for the food because the food was not that great to me. These stars belong to the stellar crew that this location has. Everyone from the hostess to our bartender to our waiter was top notch, knowledgeable and engaging. They serve one type of liquor here: kinju(sp) some shit that smells like devil springs but tastes almost like flavored Bacardi. The drink with the rose petals was my favorite although the second round tasted painful. The medium spice is hotter than one would expect for medium. The garlic noodles is basically spaghetti not the thick lo mein noodles that shaking crab has. read more

When we first entered the restaurant we were seated right away. The waitress was very nice ;however, We had to wait awhile to order for some reason even though the restaurant was not busy. We came during happy hour so the oysters were one dollar each. We also ordered the lobster roll, the king crab legs and the shrimp ceviche. The lobster roll was okay. I usually like the toast on my lobster roll warm but it was cold. So if you are like me then I would not suggest this. Also I feel like I did not get enough lobster meat. On the positive side, the king crab legs and oysters were amazing. The shrimp ceviche was okay as well. The flavor was good but the shrimp felt rubbery. It was a good experience. I would recommend trying. read more

I love this place! The bar area and restaurant are both welcoming- but the bar is better lit if you really want to see your partner getting sloppy. They have a generous happy hour with $8 adult soju Capri suns (a little too sweet for me), $6 beers, $1 oysters and $1.50 grilled oysters that are literally heaven personified. While it is tempting to just eat oysters and beer- the boils are great, too! I always get the 2lbs of shrimp with the claw daddy's sauce medium-- then a order of the hot sauce on the side ($4). While the heat of the hot is what I prefer- I think it is better dipped with the medium as you are getting more flavor. When you order the 2 lbs- you get free potatoes and corn- and then I just take half of the meal home with my extra sauce and eat it over rice the next day. The service is often slow- chalK it up to Nola style and just enjoy- the food is worth it! read more

Claw Daddy's is good but LES location tastes better. Plus there was a rat running through the rear enclosed outside seating area.

Went back a few times. Quality of food seemed to have changed but still decent. Realizing the portions are a bit skimpy now that I've tried more on the menu. Jambalaya is good but it's a kids meal portion. Also in my most recent visit the service was nothing like the first pimple of times I've been there. My mom is a big fan of the boil and wanted her to try this place out. We came in on a Saturday night. We knew we would have to wait had a sound problem with that. I was given a time of 1hr. I went back in to check the status at the 45 min mark they had my phone number wrong but still told me to wait. Waited another 30 mins. At this time my reservation for 10pm was now creeping up and waiting was pointless. I see people that came in with no reservation being seated before us. At this point I checked in for my reservation time still waited 20 mins. When we were finally seated it was at a two top with an added chair. Ordered for 3 people there were no room for plates mins you we were placed close to the bathroom sinks. Meaning high traffic and possible fire hazard. My moms crab leg bucket was placed on the floor to try and conserve room. And that's not acceptable at all min you near rest rooms and emergency exit. It took 10 mins for any server to acknowledge us. When asked about refills we got a rude no with no explanation that maybe " oh we don't offer refills we apologize, can I get you something else." It's all about how something is presented. With all that being said I highly doubt I will be going back and will also be passing on this experience, after I had friends and family visit and some out of towners. read more

Came in with my coworkers after a long day of work for a coworkers bday. The food was good and the drinks were alright as well, but the service was hands done horrible! Even my coworker stated that it was the worst service she had ever experienced. We all all ordered together but then i decided to order some to go for my husband, so i asked for a separate check. The waiter told me really you want a separate check I'll try. He comes back with separate checks but they both had a gratuity of 18% which the party was 5 i was expecting the check with all of our orders on it to have the gratuity, but not the separate check. I just didn't understand. We will not be returning here because the food is not worth the service! read more

Claw Daddy's - Mardi Gras Capri Sun - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Greatly enjoyed my time here with my friend. We were looking for food plus an experience. Not quite the most graceful experience as we were cracking lobster away while the sauce flew around. Still an enjoyable one since that food was delicious. We got the grilled oysters that we demolished while sipping from our capri sun type drink holder. The lobster broil came out soon after. It was huge and wonderful filled with a pool of claw daddy sauce which I believe is a combination of all the sauces. Despite its large amount, we ate everything minus the shell. On top of the good food, the service was great and on point. Enjoyable place to be :) read more

Best seafood spot I've been to in BK. And I Love me some crabs, yum. The restaurant is cozy, modern and beautiful. They also have happy hour, $1 wings and raw oysters. When I received my 1 pound snow crab order, the waitress open the bag for me and kindly placed my order in a large ceramic bowl! I appreciated that little touch because I hate eating out of the plastic bag. Bibs, gloves, claw cracker and pail were also provided per table. They carry 4-5 different flavor options with different spice levels ranging from mild to insane! I typically prefer mine with a little Old bay. I would recommend the flavor classic Cajun with mild spice(has a slight kick). All of their flavors are wet rub and not dry rub, like Old day. The only criticism or pet peeve I have is that they did not devein the shrimp. read more

Warning!!!!!! Served spoiled seafood. I came here after work one night with a friend. I checked Ingo yelp and got the free Cajun fries which were okay. Then we ordered the crab fritters and shrimp ceviche. The ceviche was okay but the fritters let's just say I've had waaayyyyyy better. Now we came here for the grilled oysters and boy were we did appointed. They looked great but they were spoiled. The oysters literally smelt like feces. We altered the waitress and she took the food away and gave us free shots of soju. She also removed three oysters from the bill. Honestly I was heavily disappointed it was my 3rd time here and I was appalled that they would serve spoiled food. The nerve!!! read more

I had dinner at Claw Daddy's last week and I know I'll be back. I've been wanting to try this restaurant fir a while and now I'm so glad a did. My friend and I shared a two lb combo of the shrimp and crab legs with the classic sauce and it was heavenly. It came with corn and potatoes. We shared the grilled clams another delicious choice. We asked for bread for dipping in the sauce which was two dollars. I think the bread should come with the meal but it's worth it because you need to do something dipping! read more
