We went to this place by chance. It looked pretty new to me, but our server said they had been here for quite sometime. I really like that it is spacious (easy to walk around) and it had some funny and cool decor - it had an alligator display on the wall haha. There was also ample parking outside. This was inside a complex with other establishments. We had the following dishes: * Garlic Pasta - The sauce was creamy and the dish was filling and flavorful. It was so yummy. * Peeled Shrimp - This was juicy and delicious! * Calamari - Very crispy and the dipping sauce was good as well. It was a lot of food for us and we had take some home. Our server was nice and friendly! Hope to come back here again. read more

I'm not a huge fan of the seafood boil style of eating, but I came here for a birthday dinner and I was somewhat impressed with the fried shrimp appetizer. It's all I ate, but it was a good value, good size shrimp and nice clean and crisp fry. Staff was great, although I wish they had lemons available, they only had limes. The batter of the shrimp could have used some seasoning, but the cocktail sauce was very good at making up for it. I was disappointed that some of the beef items from previous menus online were not on the menu, but their selection was still decent. TL;DR Fried Shrimp 7/10 -Good size -Good crispiness -Good cocktail sauce -Had limes/no lemons -Lacks seasoning read more

I would definitely recommend the seafood boil spot specially if you've never had seafood boil before.My favorite thing was that they offered so many different options even within their shrimp such as peeled or just head on or not peeled at all. They also have different set menus that include appetizers, very yummy and priced reasonably. I was blown away by the service provided, and the staff was so helpful and attentive. The service makes me want to come back. I got their spiciest level, and it's slightly brings the heat, but their seasoning is a little bit more clove heavy, which is something to keep in mind. read more

My husband and I were craving oysters and decided to come here after some research on pricing. We got a dozen oysters for $31 and they were plump and delicious. It comes with lime, cocktail sauce, and hot sauce. I wish they had mignonette. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We also got a side of garlic pasta. It was okay. It's not even close to Kicking Crabs version. Service was fast and it wasn't crowded for a Sunday night around 5pm. Parking is plentiful! read more

My number one go to spot for seafood boil. Fantastic food, service, and the interior designer was fantastic.

I usually take my nephew and daughter here, but unfortunately the service has been getting worse lately. We visited yesterday, and there were only three small families dining with multiple servers on the floor. Despite that, our drinks were forgotten, and it was difficult to get anyone's attention because the servers were rarely around. They were all very friendly, but the service was slow and lacked efficiency. Not sure if this will be our to go spot anymore. read more

Came back again and it was still good. Their sauce is still on point. Besides the seafood, I recommend their loaded asada fries and grilled oysters read more

Absolutely love this place for crawfish and seafood. They have great drink specials. The food has great flavor and location has an amazing vibe. The service was great in the staff were sweet. Definitely one of my go to places when I'm in town. read more

I used to come here every now and then, but last night I was very disappointed. I ordered 1 lb of mussels, 1 lb of shrimp, and 1 lb of sausage with potatoes. Unfortunately, the food did not come out the way I expected. The seafood had no sauce at all. I also wasn't given lemon, salt, pepper, parchment paper, or even napkins. Everything felt incomplete and poorly prepared. My green mussels were completely dry and overcooked!! The shrimp was overcooked as well and very salty. I ordered the Canyon Bomb flavor, which is usually what I get, but this time everything was overwhelmingly salty and honestly not enjoyable. The fact that the seafood had very little sauce was disappointing! I'm not usually the type to write reviews, but I felt the need to share my honest experience so the restaurant can improve. Sadly, based on this visit, I don't see myself coming back. Nor ordering online again through UBER EATS read more

Food is always great here and usually the staff is just as amazing, for the first time I'm unsatisfied with the service of the waiter. She is not personable, and she seems to want to be anywhere but here. She was very condescending and interrupted us while speaking on multiple occasions. As well as the fact that she continued to toss things on the table and just overall was dismissive. read more

I am pretty sure they mixed in live crawfish with frozen ones thinking we wouldn't noticed. Ordered 3 pounds of crawfish last night and I'm pretty sure 1 pound was frozen. We also went towards the end of the night. Maybe they were running out or needed to get rid of some frozen crawfish Never going back read more

My parents love coming here because it's inexpensive and flavor is close enough to wild crab. I don't really prefer this place just because their sauce is okay but everything else is delicious. Service is great every time. Although I do highly recommend their Cajun fried rice, Cajun fries, and their wings. read more

Tried this place out and was disappointed. The king crab I ordered was sad. Small shriveled up and salty(reminded me of Red Lobster quality) for $80!!!!!! read more

The food and the service is always spectacular. Absolutely love coming here. The clam chowder is the best in town. The glazed salmon should not be overlooked and I thoroughly enjoy the frog legs and peeled shrimp. Can't miss here. read more

Food was good, typical of seafood boil. Servers were very hard to get in touch with for things like refills or asking about the status of food taking long. It was an unusually busy day so it's understandable, but it wasn't great having to wait 10 minutes to ask for salt and pepper. read more

We came around 1:00pm and it was empty! The frog legs were BOMB! And the shrimp pasta was on point! Service was good as well. If you like a good place with TV, Bar, and Seafood, this is a place to try! read more

My family and I shared the crawfish with cannonball sauce accompanied by corn, potatoes, and andouille sausage and I added a 1 lb of garlic butter king crab. I also have a toddler niece who got chicken tenders and fries - that serving was large enough to feed an adult. This was my first time trying the cannonball sauce and I prefer the sauces separately instead of mixed together. Everything was tasty and not overcooked. I think next time, we'll just order the peeled shrimp, peeling the crawfish was way too labor intensive. The andouille sausage was really good, but it tasted more like kielbasa to me. Claws is perfect for groups to bond over the food and making a mess. :) The service is a little bit spotty. We had to wave someone down a few times. The sinks and the restrooms were a little bit messy The parking lot is fairly large, but you're competing for spots with Chuze fitness people. read more

This is a Cajun seafood place that has a variety of food offerings. It is pretty spacious and can accommodate a good amount of customers. Service is attentive. Their food is not bad, though their seafood sauce is a bit lacking. Peeled Shrimp with Cannon Ball sauce 4/5 - They have peeled shrimp! This is a big selling point for those who don't like to peel shrimp shells. The shrimps are also big and juicy unlike mushy shrimps at other places. However, the sauce isn't as good as places I've been to. The Cannon Ball sauce has a strong lemon flavor, almost like it consists of mostly salt and lemon. They just need to tone the lemon flavor down and make it more garlicky and flavorful. Garlic Fries 5/5 - These fries were da bomb. They were super crispy and delicious with garlic and Parmesan toppings. Definitely a must-get! read more

Wow! So disappointing and actually pretty sad! One of my favorite restaurants to eat at hung up on me twice! Mid sentence! Her name is Vi and one of the worst managers to talk too. All I wanted is to pick Up food. I called at 8:30pm to pick up food and she refused to make it. Never heard of a restaurant refuse an order from A loyal customer. It's disappointing because this is how places lose customers! read more

Service was a bit slow but other than that the food was amazing! Great experience. Lychee martinis were a huge hit. We got shrimp, crawfish, crab legs, sausage and clams. Sides corn and potatoes. read more

Service was quick and attentive. The food was good I got medium spice could have gone spicier as it was more mild. The sides were all good wings, fries, corn. The only thing that I didn't like was the rice was stale and dry. read more

My friend and I came to visit here for the second time. We got their 3 lb meal deal, sweet potato fries and calamari. Our last server was super nice. He was all smiles and we got the same server. I think his name was John (not quite sure), but service was superb. Idk why it tasted so good but their Shirley temple was amazing! They also offer alcoholic drinks. It's a spacious spot with tons of tables. Surprisingly not as busy for dinner. But it was overall good. read more

Came here with a couple of my friends on a Saturday afternoon. I was surprised it wasn't packed. We were seated fast and while we were waiting for the rest of our party, our servers were very patient with us. When the rest of our party came, the servers were attentive and took our order right away. They also kept checking in on us to see if we needed anything else. We ordered oysters, calamari, fries, roasted corn, garlic noodles, garlic bread, jalapeno garlic bread, the 3lb seafood boil special, mussels, crawfish, shrimp, and crab legs. It was a feast and a vibe! We left with full happy tummies and we look forward in coming back! read more

Food was great but the only complaint I have is ordering from online. If you're a first time online orderer, they will not make your food until you get there which defeats the purpose of a quick pick up. They are so worried about people ditching. But this isn't the first time I've order online. I asked what the ETA was on the phone and they said about 5-10 minutes. I gave them 10 minutes before I left my house and it takes 15 minutes to get here. Told them I have a pickup. Been waiting here for about 10 minutes and they still don't have my order which means they didn't even make my food yet. Btw, my order was 4 lbs of frozen crawfish with 4 corns. read more

My favorite out of all the seafood boil places. Their wings are so delicious and crunchy. We prefer to do the meal deals and claws has a great one, we usually do lemon pepper fries, baguette, side of rice, shrimp, crawfish and green mussels. King crab legs when we want to splurge. The service is pretty on point, never really had issues. My only issue is that they close too early especially with the bar they have there. Overall 10/10 I enjoy everytime. read more

It's been a minute since we've been back here. The waits got untenable pre-COVID and in the intervening years, other places have opened up. To be fair, Claws taste and quality of their food is really ranked up there and we probably didn't eat as much of this cuisine when we stopped coming. Anyhoo, we were here again recently for a birthday dinner (8 of us). Good news, bad news - there is no longer a wait on Saturday nights. The place was at least half empty the night we came and I was a little concerned. Anyway, we got to ordering and got 4 different bags of seafood plus a bunch of sides. The fried okra was and always will be my favorite side. The seafood came and it was as I remembered. Yum! The spice levels were on point and the garlickyness was guaranteed to linger on our fingertips for at least the next week. Seafood was cooked nicely and tasted fresh. No complaints! Our interaction with the server when we ordered was somewhat awkward, bordering on frustrating. For whatever reason, he was insistent that our potatoes/corns/sausages went into specific bags he designated and after trying correct him, we just let it go and had him do his thing. (Like, why did the king crab leg bag - which had to be separated according to him - have to have the corn and potatoes?). It wasn't as simple as "Bag 1 has 2lbs shrimp, 3 corns, 3 potatoes, 1/2 lb sausages and Bag 2 has blah blah blah. He was sweet but confusing/confused. That being said, we upended not one but two drinks that evening and the team there were ON POINT when they ran over and replaced the butcher paper on our table both times and mopped up the area under us in a fashion that would rival a Nascar pit crew. At the end of the meal, we were all rubbing our bellies with satisfaction. Glad to have revisited and will make it a note to come back again. Cheers! read more

Avoid unless you want to be taken advantage of. Ordered a 1lb of Peeled Shrimp for delivery and was only given 16 Medium Shrimp! A pound of Medium Shrimp is approximately 30-40 Shrimp! Do they think people do not know what a pound of shrimp looks like. You expect places to short you a little, but this is reficulous. This was not a one off it happened before. $18.00 for 16 Medium Shrimp is reficulous and highway robbery. Siously contemplating reporting this to the California Department of Weights and Measure. read more

Service was good. Sauce was delicious. However, we ordered 3lbs of live crawfish. They mixed it with frozen crawfish. Be aware.

Can't ever say no to seafood... especially cajun seafood. Happened to be in the area for an event & this was close by. Early dinner, we got seated right away. It was crawfish season, so by default... the hubs got their live crawfish cannon ball medium. He usually scoops the sauce & mixes it with his rice. Yummm. On this rare occassion, I was too lazy to peel shrimp & opted for the peeled ones already. Got it cannon ball mild & added some sausages in as well. Can't forget the cajun fries. Good service. Delicious food. Slightly different & less bold flavors than Boiling Crab & Kickin Crab but still good enough. read more

Eat literally anywhere else besides here. the service is terrible and the food is sub par at best. everything is market price (which is fine) except the market price isnt listed anywhere. when we asked the server what the market prices today were today and he explained to us what market prices are instead. We end up ordering a boil in bag with shrimp and crab. when it comes out, they present us with the food and 1 pair of kitchen shears to share between us as utensils. we ask for forks and crab utensils so we can eat our food and they being back a plastic fork and tell us to use the scissors to crack the crab and that they don't keep crab utensils anymore because "people kept stealing them". insane that a restaurant called CLAWS doesnt have any way for you to ... crack into the crab claws. We finally ask to speak to a manager because the scissors are too big to get into the small pieces of crab legs, and she just told us that they weren't. When we complained about the plastic forks, she said they had real ones "if we just asked". Apparently at a full service, sit down restaurant you have to specify that you want real silverware for your meal instead of disposable plastic ones. Manager was no help, and tried to make it seem like our fault for not asking for metal forks specifically. At the end of the day, i wasn't even able to eat my meal because they don't have the proper utensils and the unfriendly staff made this and overall extremely unpleasant experience. TLDR; go somewhere else. there are plenty of places in the area that do seafood bag boils for much better and much cheaper. read more
