Busy Saturday evening dinner!!! We got greeted right away and were lucky enough to find seating right away. We started with the combination fried rice w 3 fried wings. The fried was was good, bug chunks of shrimp but I just couldn't taste the wok hei.. the fried wings were big but disappointing as they were bland. We also ordered one of their package deal of 2lbs of shrimp, 2 snow crab clusters, 2 potatoes and 2 corn for $89. We chose garlic butter and medium for spice level. It took nearly 30 mins for dish to arrive. Shrimp was overcooked but easy to peel and the snow crab clusters was ok. Clusters were small with hardly any meat but the legs compensated for it. I know they come previously frozen but they were not able to mask the flavor w the garlic butter. The medium spice level was not there as I didn't get any heat at all. Overall the place was ok read more

Came on a Sunday evening. There were a couple other tables but plenty of seating still available. We had the mozzarella sticks and fries for apps. Mozz sticks had a good cheese pull. You can get your fries with or without seasoning. I got the snow crab with sausage, potato and corn. My friend got crawfish. They also have various tea and lemonade flavors options to select from. Both of us enjoyed our food and drinks. Wait time was good for apps, a tad bit longer than expected for mains considering it wasn't busy. While we were eating we witnessed a couple get turned away due to them "shutting down early" they verbalized their disappointed exclaiming how they had driven from an hour away but no reason was given for the early shutdown except; "management says we are closed early" not sure how often that happens so you may want to call ahead if you plan to try them out.

The staff here were super friendly and attentive. They consistently check in on me during throughout the evening to see if I needed anything or how the food was. The boudin balls were nice and crispy and the sauce was a bit tangy to help cut the heaviness. The seafood boil was good. The snow crab was just a tad bit too salty for my liking but the shrimps were great! The restaurant was pretty spacious and the music was playing at a nice level. read more

We were passing by Houston on the way home and were looking for a crawfish spot. We found this place on YELP and it didn't disappoint. We ordered 5lbs of crawfish and got 1 lb free. The extra items were all separate which is the only reason I'm giving four stars. The extra items added up for just two people to eat. The recommend house spice was delicious. The crawfish were made fresh and the food came out hot. Can't wait to go back for crawfish. read more

Clawdaddy - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I hope some of the dishes are good, but I experienced too many "off" things to have any interest in returning. (1) A team member was outside smoking directly in front of the entry door. He had to move out of the way for me to approach the door. (2) Pepsi only (3) The pasta I ordered was served dine-in with a plastic fork. No. Just no. I requested a real fork. A short search expedition and quick rinse had to occur. (4) The pasta sauce tasted like Zatarain's in a cream. Maybe that does it for some people, but I'm a hard pass on that. It's not even about the spice; it just doesn't taste good. The crawfish and shrimp in the pasta were overcooked and rubbery. (5) The music at 2pm was pumpin'. I'm sure some people like it or could care less. I prefer a calmer vibe at lunch. It wasn't overly loud, just an odd weekday lunch vibe. read more

We were passing by Houston looking for boiled crawfish and came across the spot. When walked in, we noticed quite a bit of people there for lunch. They had a special of ordering 5 pounds of crawfish get one free, but it did not come with any extra sides. We had to add everything on it did add up on the price was the only downside other than that the flavor was on point we got the recommendation from the waiter. The restaurant had a casual feel and they had their selection of adult beverages as well. read more

Ordered Crawfish Fried Rice and Crawfish with Zaddy Sauce to go. The crawfish were tasty but small, I was told it is still early in the season. Unfortunately, there were a handful of inedible mushy ones. Fried rice was meh on its own but there was a sauce in the box that made it pretty tasty. Service was good. It's a family friendly dining. read more

I've been to this establishment twice and had their blue crabs both times which were flavorful. crabs were big and meaty. We got about two crabs per pound. Personally, I prefer the house special over the claw daddy sauce but I haven't tried the other two. I've also had their crawfish, which was tasty and full of flavor. They're generous with the truffle garlic butter fries and Parmesan fries and they both meet expectations but it's nothing spectacular. I enjoyed the garlic butter noodles. Excellent service. Staff members are friendly, quick and attentive. They returned to check on us many times to clear the seafood shells and refill our drinks. They packed our crawfish to go for us with bibs, gloves and multiple bags there was no spillage and the car did not smell of Cajun seafood. When I went on the weekend, there was a 30 minute wait and when I went on a weeknight, there was no wait. Restaurant and restroom are clean. read more

Great place to satisfy your seafood craving! We tried the shrimp po boy, shrimp fried rice and a snow crab cluster in spicy zaddy sauce. Everything was delicious and I'd order again.

I hate to be this person but my family and I got there and it was pretty empty. A very young-looking guy and girl were working there. They asked me and my family to wait, no big deal. Then comes a white couple. When they came back to sit us but went straight to the white couple that walked in after us to ask for their party size. The couple was kind enough to tell them we were here first. Okay, honest mix up. They sit us down, then the white couple, then another family that walked in. Then they leave us to tend to everyone but us. No menus, no acknowledgment, nothing. I went to tell the manager who had just gotten there. You can tell she's stressed catching up but the lack of acknowledgement and communication was unacceptable. Honestly felt like they're giving preferential treatment to people who look different. Not the card I like to play but I have no reason to think otherwise, especially when we were seated right by the register where they all walk in and out of. read more

Traveling 1,000 miles from Greensboro, NC to Houston, TX just to go to Clawdaddy might sound crazy but it was worth every mile. The seafood was packed with flavor, the frozen watermelon Jolly Rancher daiquiri was so refreshing, and that Michelada with its tangy spices kept me sipping nonstop. Now I'm home and already craving it again. Clawdaddy isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience. Oh, the staff's warmth and hospitality made the entire visit unforgettable. RECOMMENDED! read more

So, I was introduced to Clawdaddy's last week and went for the 1st time. The food and service were AWESOME! The young gentleman who took our order name escapes me, but he was very kind and friendly. However, I absolutely must specifically comment on Aisa and Jeff's OUTSTANDING customer service. Both went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. Although, I live 30-40 miles away, I will always come back. I can't say enough about how delicious the food was and again kudos to the entire staff working that night on excellent service. Thank you Clawdaddy's-Silber location. read more

Stopped in with the family, and im glad we did. We tried the crawfish with the daddy sauce and seafood fried rice and chicken The crawfish had a nice flavor and decent flavor .

The prices are decent. I mean, all seafood is high right now. read more

I was born in Texas, raised in Louisiana, and worked at several Cajun restaurants. Been in the restaurant industry in general for 10 years. These are my credentials since anyone can just leave reviews nowadays. TLDR: Clawdaddy has great food, reasonable prices, and tasty daiquiris with exceptionally diligent service. I brought my girl here because she's never experienced Viet-Cajun style seafood, nor has had fried fish before. Not to mention she's the pickiest eater in the entire world and simply can't be bothered to eat at times-- I had to make sure where we were going was good. Clawdaddy was perfect. The fried fish is Swai, a problem for some maybe, but to me still a tender, flakey fish that's easy to eat, especially because my girl doesn't like anything "fishy." The batter was crisp and crunchy at the edges, not cornmeal which in my opinion is too grainy. She came back for more which is a huge win in my book. The fries they serve with it are the battered kind, not too thick nor thin with the fluffiest potato inside and also crunchy and crispy. Definitely recommend the fried seafood options. Now the real star-- the crawfish and snow crabs. We went with the Zaddy sauce, which is a combination of the House Special (garlic, butter, Cajun seasoning) and Chef Z's (tangy citrus, garlic butter, Cajun seasoning blend). Mild because my girl will cry if she sees a grain of pepper. There's a lotttt of garlic so if you don't like garlic or you're on a first date or maybe you're just a vampire that's into Cajun food, maybe not opt for this one. It was tasty, but maybe it's the way America has built me but the foundational flavor wasn't as pronounced as I would've liked it. Not a super big deal, but I think I'll go for the house special and dry seasoning instead for more saltiness next time. Blood pressure going up on a Tuesday kind of vibe. The crawfish itself is for sure live. Incredibly juicy and succulent, and for those who aren't able to tell-- simply crack the claw open, and taste the meat. It should be tender, moist, and not at all dry. I felt like the butter must've seeped into the claws somehow considered how juicy they were. Crawfish right now is on the medium size and priced at $9.99/lbs as of February 2025. Now the snow crabs. God, the snow crabs were amazing. Everything the crawfish was, the snow crabs were as well and so much more. Tender, succulent, and the meat was sweet and just perfect. My girl tried it for the first time and agreed that it was wonderful. I'm so damn happy she got to experience snow crabs the way they're meant to be enjoyed. Besides the food, we also got daiquiris, and my girl particularly enjoyed the strawberry. Sweet, ice cold, what more could you ask for to combat the high blood pressure and cholesterol. Alan (Allen?) was our server and he's great. Informative, attentive, quick to remove trash from our table as well as get our refills without checking up on us too much. Definitely knows how to feel out the vibes of his guests. The owner's sister was also equally attentive, and having not initially known her title beforehand, I leaned in and whispered to my girl that she was probably the manager given the work she was putting in. Some managers sit behind the register and call it a day, but Ma'am was helping clear tables, engaging with the customers and asking how everything was, ensuring we get refills whenever the other servers were busy. Incredible team effort, and I definitely see it and respect it. That's how you know they care about their establishment, and that's when there's true value in supporting a small business. Thank you Clawdaddy, we'll be back! read more

Clawdaddy - Half the menu - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time coming here and definitely won't be the last! Literally wanted to order one of everything! Got to try the hot Cheetos soft shell crab sandwich with truffle fries (5/5). Definitely recommend! Came with a choice or regular mayo or Cajun mayo. Had to get the Cajun mayo of course! Had a nice kick to it! The pickles really brought it together with the acidity! Loved it all! Also, I had to share half of this because it's a pretty hefty size sandwich! Fried boudin (5/5). Love the crunchy outside but the nice flavors of the inside! Sauce could have used more flavor, but overall, I enjoyed it! Chargrilled oysters (3/5). This could have had more flavor IMO, but I'm glad we got to try it and got half a dozen. I would have liked a little more garlic flavor going on, but overall it was decent. The service was really great, and I love how everyone was super friendly and attentive! I can't wait to come back and try other menu items! Definitely want to come back soon for their crawfish and crab legs! read more

Came at 7pm on a Saturday and it was pretty busy, but there were still a few tables open. All staff members we encountered were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant felt very clean and they had a bunch of TVs on the wall playing sports. CRAWFISH & SHRIMP ÉTOUFFÉE: I only had a bite of this, but it was very flavorful! They seemed to use fresh crawfish since it's in season, and the ones they used were pretty big, which was a nice surprise. The only thing my bf didn't like about it is that he wished there was more rice. HOT CHEETOS SOFTSHELL CRAB SANDWICH: This was a large sandwich! And very intimidating to eat because of the legs sticking out of it lol thankfully, our server offered me a knife when she saw how long it was taking me to eat it and how I was struggling to take bites lol I enjoyed the hot cheetos flavor, but found that the crab flavor was kind of getting lost because the hot cheetos were so dominant. I was kind of expecting this, but remained hopeful. It was good overall, but ended up feeling like a hot cheetos sandwich with a hint of soft shell crab. I'd still recommend it if you like hot cheetos and soft shell crab, but I'd love if they made a non-hot cheetos version. I'd definitely come back just to get it. CHARBROILED OYSTERS: I only wanted to try this because of the truffle in the description. Unfortunately, I didn't taste any truffle. It was still pretty good and flavorful, but it disappointed me in that way. And I would say the size of the oysters was small, but oysters often shrink when cooked so it was to be expected. Despite all this, I'd recommend this if you like cooked oysters because they were definitely tasty. TRUFFLE GARLIC BUTTER FRIES: This had all the buzzwords to grab my attention lol I'm a sucker for truffle, garlic, and butter, so of course I wanted to get these! Unfortunately, it didn't deliver on all the flavors I was expecting. It was good, don't get me wrong, but it tasted more like fries seasoned with regular salt and truffle salt. I didn't really notice any garlic or butter. And the truffle flavor tasted like it came from salt, so it was light and not strong like if it had been drizzled in truffle oil. Still, definitely way better than regular fries imo GARLIC BUTTER BREAD: This came with the charbroiled oysters and étouffée, and I thought it was meh. I would've liked it soaked in garlic butter to the point where it was soft and *very* yellowww. It felt like they toasted baguette slices, then brushed on a garlic butter sauce after the fact, because the flavor didn't feel cooked in at all. I was good with one bite. But if you like toasted bread and light flavor, you'll like it more than I did. Everything we had was good enough, but didn't deliver in some way. If the truffle dishes didn't advertise as truffle, I would've thought they were a lot better. But because they didn't meet my expectations, I was left a little disappointed. Now that I know what to expect though, my expectations are tempered if I come back. I wanted to try the truffle wings, but if I do, I won't expect to taste any truffle. But who knows, maybe they'll change things and surprise me. read more

I was really craving a boil and saw they had reasonable prices. I ordered my boil to go (i usually take all my boils to go) and when I tried it at home I was very... unimpressed. The ramen I had ordered with my boil smelled really bad and tasted off. It kind of gave me the ick... The shrimp were okay but I could not eat the crawfish as they tasted old and/or like they had been previously frozen. I ended up just throwing the boil away even though I paid almost $40. I was sad and still hungry. :( read more

This review is based on a dinner on a weeknight with a party of 3. Pros: Gumbo was really good. Love their version of gumbo, not too salty. This is my favorite dish here. Garlic noodles were rich but may need more garlic. We had the noodles with fried shrimp and the shrimps were very flavorful. Seafood boil was solid -- king crab cluster, shrimps, and corns with house special sauce. The waitstaff was super friendly and not pushy to sell expensive items. Cons: The seafood platter, catfish and shrimp, was good except the catfish was a little fishy. It even smelled a little. This place is not cheap. Our bill was $100 plus, but that's normal nowadays. read more

Went to this spot to check out their seafood boil. I was particularly interested in trying their citrus flavor (Chef Z) as that's what I was wanting. The waiter recommended this platter since we both wanted shrimp and I wanted crabs and he wanted crawfish. Although it wasn't really crawfish season, we were told that it was still live crawfish from Louisiana. I asked to sample their Chef Z sauce to see how I would like it. I wasn't citrus & tangy to me at all. For drinks I got a cup of water and I mixed their frozen Mango-rita with the Bellini. It was a good, sweet taste. So we got the medium Zaddy sauce (House + Chef Z sauce) on the seafood. Everyone has different spice levels, as in not everyone's medium spice is the same. I've experienced some mediums with kicks and some that should have been considered mild. Their medium didn't have much spice for us so we asked for a side of their Spice level sauce. Well this time it tasted like a lot of cayenne pepper which is spicy but moreso smoky to me. So it definitely took it up a notch. Next time we'll just ask to do Spicy. But overall the sauce was a bit too greasy and had alot of garlic. I was very pleased with the size of the snow crab clusters and shrimp. The crawfish were very small but I wasn't surprised being that it was out of season for them. Overall, the food was still enjoyable. The service was great as they were very accommodating and helpful. They kept the tables and floors clean. Had tvs with sports showing. read more

Real-time review. I was the only diner for most of my meal. Had to stand up on cane and interrupt the two servers multiple times to place additional order, ask for more tea, etc. Server refilled my cup, which was covered in crawfish carnage, with tea instead of bringing a clean cup. Server checked on me only once after she dropped order for the only other diner. Asked server to clear table while I waited for my ride. The pic shows her job. Crawfish were on par with what I can get from HEB. Not worth the travel time. No hot water in women's restroom. read more

First time here and we'll be back but I'd definitely order something else next time... We got a Seafood boil- House special sauce but make it spicy- snow crab, shrimp. Mussels, corn, potatoes and sausage. I don't recommend getting the sausage in the boil, it was just not a sausage you usually get at other places . SO, not worth the add on. We regret not get extra spicy with the house special sauce. We'll do that on our next order as there are so many other sauces that sound good there. The shrimp was super easy to peel too. Mussels were huge and we loved that. Then the garlic noodles was the dish I was the most excited about but I just did not enjoy the flavor of it. Whatever the seasoning was ,just did not make my mouth happy. The snow crab size made up for it though. Service was great and the vibes were good. Pricing was good too. read more
