    Red snapper
    Donathan D.

    I had plenty of lobster rolls but this was one of the best! Simple but outstanding not to much to it. You know it was fresh because it took about 5-10 minutes to bring it to us and it was made perfectly. I had fries with it with obey on it and even the pickle was so good. I had the original which I shared the next time I need my own and I want to try the other kinds. I wish this was like that show on the food channel when you talk about the food and they bring it to you. We sat out side where they have a lot of tables to sit in the shed or not. We met two ladies who kayak there from there house which was near by. That was so cool. Another lady we met inside said she comes a few times a week every thing is good. She was buying fresh seafood to go home and cook red snapper.

    Small restaurant where you order at window, and they give you a buzzer, and pick up food when buzzer goes off. We had the seafood trio, lobster bisque, and stuffed clams. Food was fresh, delicious. Portions are huge and seating is indoor/outdoor. Ducks roam around looking for scraps.

    Seafood bake
    Samantha C.

    Been to Claws pre-pandemic to have one of their lobster rolls and from what I remember, it was really effin' good. But for this review, I'll base it off of our seafood bake that we had for Christmas Eve, our Feast of the Seven fishes. When my mom told me she was planning on getting this for the festivities, I'm not going to lie, I was a tad bummed. We usually all brought a fish or two. This year, everyone was sick or had a tough time so it just made sense to grab this special. I went with my mom during the day to pick up our preordered bake and pickup was a breeze. This seafood bake had everything from mussels, clams and shrimp to crab legs, calamari and scallops. The crab legs were my favorite. This was a great order and made me want to cater from Claws in the future. Maybe one day I will. Here's to coming back more in the summer months for those delicious rolls.

    If you are coming here to pick up fresh seafood and bring it home, everything is excellent. It's on the pricier side compared to other seafood stores but it's convenient if you live close by. The help and service are great. It's a cute little casual quick spot for a seafood meal out, if you don't want to cook. The food is disappointing. I ordered a Caesar salad with tuna. The tuna was excellent. The salad, terrible. A bit of lettuce thrown in a tin. It was not even cut up. Hush puppies were dry and no flavor. The plastic ware is a joke. A broke a fork and The crab roll my husband gave a 3/5. There is just no love in the food. Unfortunately, there is no handicap parking so it was very difficult to be able to get my husband out of the accessible van. Also no handicap toilette which is the law. I wish it was better because I really wanted to love it here. Shame on the owner.

    I've passed claws a number of times but was always hesitant based on the limited parking. The parking lot is big enough for about 6 cars, and although there is street parking, if the surrounding restaurants are busy it is quite a task finding a spot. However once your in the staff was very friendly and helpful. The little area they have nestled by the side of the water is very quaint. There was a small amount of seating in a fully covered and walled tent and then outdoor plastic picnic tables. As you sit outside you are surrounded in a nice little oasis of bamboo and other water side foliage with ducks walking around. The vibe here is very relaxed but fun. The food was great. We tried two different lobster rolls, clams on the half shell and some other things. The food was excellent. If you are in the area or want a cute little outdoor area to dine, Claws is a great place to try.

    Took a ride out to Claws in West Sayville on Main Street. We have never been there before but heard great things about it!!! Everything we heard is true. We had some raw clams and oysters. So fresh and delicious. I had the double soft shell crab sandwich which was cooked perfectly also ordered the Big ol mess po boy which has a combination of fried cod,shrimp and clams I had a bite of that and it was also cooked perfectly. I highly suggest checking this place out if you haven't!! It was very cute that these little ducks joined us for some outdoor dining

    Cute little spot been meaning to try. My friend got the classic double roll with fries and I got the naked roll with coke slaw. The rolls are filled with plenty of delicious lobster meat and their slaw and fries were delicious. You probably can't beat this price anywhere on Long Island! We also tried the New England clam chowder which was unremarkable. I asked if I was allowed to feed the duck and the bus boy told me he doesn't care so I did and then got scolded for it lol overall 4 stars. You won't be disappointed.

    The seafood is always fresh, variety is the best I've seen and the chowder is to die for.

It took almost 30 minutes just to have our order taken, another 30 minutes for soup, another 30 minutes for the calamari appetizer, and yet another 30 minutes for our main dish, which was just a lobster roll. What should have been a simple meal turned into an unnecessarily long and frustrating wait. What made it worse was that our waitress didn't seem apologetic at all about how long everything was taking. In fact, she appeared much more attentive to the table next to us, who she seemed to know personally, while we were left waiting most of the time. To add to that, the water we asked for never even arrived. The experience ended on an uncomfortable note when we went to pay. Our card was flagged for possible fraud (likely because we're not from the area). While my husband was already pulling out cash to pay, a man wearing a beanie and chef jacket stood there in a pushy manner insisting we call the bank immediately while he waited. Between the extremely slow service, lack of attentiveness, and the uncomfortable payment interaction, the entire experience was frustrating from start to finish. Save yourself the trip and the time -- we should have listened to the reviews before making the drive.
