So besides the seafood bucket I wanted to try something different, I decided to try the fried rice and fried calamari. The calamari was soo salty and the rice soo greasy as well as why they gave me baby shrimp in my rice. The servers weren't extremely approachable and after a party of 11 and 15% gratuity you would think?!?! read more

Red Claws Crab Shack - Combination rice with no sausage - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I don't know how healthy the "RC Kick" flavor/sauce is but it's sooo good! I dip EVERYTHING in it. I got 2lbs of crawfish. I also added corn, potatoes, and an egg to the bag. As I stated above the "RC Kick" sauce makes all of the extra items so much better! The crawfish itself was good but they were kinda small... maybe I went when they had a bad shipment? We also ordered some oysters which are always good. One of my friends ordered the chicken tender basket and some gumbo. He liked both items. Prepare to get your hands dirty if you order the seafood boil, it's worth it though. read more

We went for lunch , it wasn't crowded but the crowd grew as we enjoyed our food. You order at the counter and then you'll get seated. The menu was clear and easy to read, and they have a great variety to offer for reasonable prices. We started with fried calamari, and oysters with their signature sauce. The food was crispy , fresh and well seasoned. For our entree I had the mild garlic mini B3 boil (1 snow crab , potatoe, corn, and sausage + 1/2 lb of shrimp). It was so delicious and the garlic butter was so tasty I wanted to drink it lol I definitely will be back to try there garlic noodles and fried rice next time ! read more

I went with my best friend because she wanted crab legs. And I got the seafood basket with fried catfish, shrimp and hush puppies. My friend loved her crab legs. She devoured as much as she could, and then took the rest home. She said it was almost as good as New Orleans... but she really loved Home. I enjoyed the catfish. The shrimp was pretty good. I really liked their cocktail sauce with it. They're tartar sauce needs lemon, and flavor... Kind of sucks. The crust was kind of thick but not bad. I just it took forever to get it and then everything but the hush puppies was cold. Also, yeah, they were very, very slow at refilling classes, I basically had to run up to the front and get it refilled. But you know it's that kind of an atmosphere, there's not really table service. It's mostly ordered at the front. My friend enjoyed it. It was her birthday and that's all that mattered. read more

Service is always A+. There was a remodel since I was there last. So my signature is no longer written in the spot. The wood panels were clean...lol. lots of Tvs. Music was enjoyable. Water always tastes weird to me. I don't go there for the water. The crab. Cooked to perfection. Seasoning was medium. A little heavy on the garlic but no complaints here. Everything was delish. read more

We got shrimp, black mussels, sausage, ramen noodles, corn, fried corn and a single catfish fillet. Everything was good including the catfish. I would get it again. We waited in line for about 20-30 minutes standing, until we were seated. Once seated, service was decently fast. Some of our mussels were still shut, and were provided another batch that was better. Overall, be prepared to spend some money here but also the flavor here is amazing and hits the spot every time. Place is decorated with fun accents. Not a boring spot, for sure. read more

Red Claws crab shack definitely delivered on the flavor (chefs kiss) , the bang for our buck and the overall experience customer service wise! Our group of 3 was visiting Arlington Tx for a conference and we love seafood so we found Red Claw Crabs on YELP of course ! Unlike some other seafood establishments you order and pay at the counter as soon as you arrive then the food that you order is delivered to your table. I ordered their combo #3 and added Ramen and a strawberry margarita I believe. ALL OF MY FOOD WAS DELICIOUS my taste buds are literary having flash backs as I type. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the girl at the counter forgot to add an item that I requested to my order even though I mentioned 2-3 times. I'd definitely go back and find though read more

Today was such a disappointment. I've been here before and my food has always been delicious However today it was not so much. I got a bag with two corns, two eggs, potatoes and sausage. Hardly any seasoning and what was in the bag it was horrible and I believe they gave me the wrong bag it was like water and oil mixed Hardly any seasoning in the bag at all very disappointing because I asked the young man if I could get some seasoning for my bag because it looked so dry and unseasoned and he said yeah for 2 dollars and I was like look at the bag it's halfway empty and he said 2 dollars sad because I had already spent 44 dollars. Sad and very disappointing. Food was horrible today along with not so good customer service. Not good Red Claw!! read more

Good food but the atmosphere was ok. Very casual place and loud. The margaritas weren't very good either. Way too sweet. But recommend the food and beers! Service was great too! read more

This was by far the best seafood boil spot in Arlington,easy parking,easy to spot and the ambiance was really good! nice music and clean dining area.All the employees were super polite and attentive to us.The food was perfectly seasoned and cooked.We got the hot sauce and cajun seasoning and it was super bomb.10/10! read more

They automatically charge a 15% "service charge" or tip and don't tell you. So then you swipe your credit card and the tip screen comes up. We had 15 people at our table and Noone knew this, and we all gave a 20% tip which added up to be a 35% tip. This is not right. We will no be back read more

I stopped coming here over a year ago because the sauce wasn't the same. I'm so happy I decided to come back and give them a try. They've made some minor changes to the decor inside. I like it. The service was the same as it's always been. The food was absolutely delicious. They are the best crab spot in DFW hands down. It's still not as spicy as it used to be but the flavor is on point! read more

We have been to several crab restaurants and we definitely do not change to Red Crab, the seafood is always fresh, the fish breaded, the rice mixed and the ramen mixed with the medium Cajun sauce we go at least twice a month and the team always very friendly and great place for looking a game too. read more

Arlington red claws have the worst customer service! Its the 3rd times this year I called in to order and they didn't bother to pick up the phone, I Walked in and they were standing around with just a few customer and they said they were too busy. I'll never support this place no matter how good the food tastes. Stay away from this location peoples read more

Maybe because I'm very partial to Pier 88 and they are almost perfect, but the establishment is clean, service is crap and I mean crap and that's sitting at the bar which I did both times I tried. I had to pay upfront so only had one drink, and the food was just okay! read more

I have came here for my second attempt of trying sea food and after coming here I am officially SEA FOOD FAN!! I love it and recommend anyone to come here. It's definitely worth it read more

Meh, yes, I've had much better. I decided to visit this restaurant because of the high reviews. Order at the counter, then have a seat. I ordered 1 lb Snow Crab Legs with the most popular sauce medium and Crown on The Rocks. Also, I ordered the sauce on the side. When they brought my food, I could smell an odor. Sigh, it's okay. I asked for lime or lemon and dipped the crab meat into the sauce to mask the smell. Overall, I got my crab boil (crab only) fix. read more

Pros: bundle menu is a good option and the crawfish was big Cons: the shrimp was overcooked and the peel was sticking sooo much to the shrimp that we had to eat the shell. When we tried to peel it, big chunks or shrimp came off so you weren't left with much. The flavor of the sauce was good but it was very watery. Other places I have been to, the sauce is thicker and sticks on to the food. read more

Where do I begin? I've been eating at Red Claws since they opened in Arlington. Their RC Medium sauce is the best sauce I've ever had. I've invited many people there but they raised their prices and the snow crabs are the skinniest crabs Ive ever seen. Not a fan of the fried stuff. Wings (lemon pepper) are great. They have good gumbo and mottz sticks. Crawfish is good but on the small side for the price. They are definitely overpriced and it's frustrating because I really like their sauce. read more

It was good, but overpriced for the amount of food we got. $169.00 for 3 orders of garlic noodles, 5 wing basket, 2 orders of claw clusters (2 in each bag) they were 39.99 ea., a catfish and shrimp basket and about 4 sauces on the side (separate and 2.00 ea). The clusters were small. I initially voiced my displeasure inside the restaurant and the manager came to explain that those tiny clusters of 5 legs each was their standard. Noted Nothing special about the fries, average in size and flavor. We added one corn and potatoes to each cluster. 1.75 for each piece of corn and then each bag had one average size and two teeny potatoes. I think the best value for Red Claws now will be the all you can eat in Dallas. Our splurge meals will be home cooked with these prices skyrocketing to the moon and beyond. That was my last visit. Love the sauce but will find a copycat recipe and then get my seafood from Costco. read more

The food was so good when I went. Fresh and came out quick. the shrimp didn't taste fishy, the crawfish and crab legs was flavorful on the inside and out and the spicy ranch wings was 10/10. Drinks could've been better but definitely worth it during happy hour. I enjoyed myself and the server was super chill. read more

WOWwZZERS I was looking for seafood broil and I found this place. Originally, I've been unimpressed with all the seafood broils here in Dallas County so I was thinking I was going to have a decent one again. But then I had this! The food I ordered was Bucket #3 - RC Sauce / Medium Kick. When I tell you that shrimp was fat, it was fat (big and juicy)! The snow crab had a lot of meat in it as well! The sauce was absolutely bomblicious ! The perfect amount of lemon, butter, and spices. A little addicting in fact. The service was fast. The food was ready in 10 minutes. Which I find pretty crazy, because usually it takes a long time at other places. Didn't get a chance eat the restaurant since I ordered mines to-go but I'm sure the ambiance and experience would've been exceptional. Message to the people looking for delicious seafood broil in DFW or anyone visiting Dallas : y'all come check this place out !! They don't disappoint!!! The best seafood broil in DFW!!! read more

God was amazing!! Right level of heat. Crab, headless shrimp, sausage, and corn was great. We added a bag of Ramen which made our meal even better. read more

Service was good, the quality of the food was average. There are better options for the price point for seafood. The oysters were extremely large and had a fishy/gritty taste. The boiled shrimp was good. Overall, it was OK. read more

I been here several times and I can say I will be back many more times in the future. This restaurant has two locations, this one and one in Dallas. There is always a line out the door during peak hours but is totally worth it. I always call my orders over the phone during busy times so I don't have to wait in line to place my order and then spend another 30 min waiting for my food to be made. The restaurant is very organized when it comes to people coming in for dine-in as well as take-out. They are following CDC safety guidelines and making people wear masks when entering the restaurant. Once seated down at a table customers are able to remove their face masks to enjoy their meal. Last time I dined in I had the combo bucket 1 with their most popular flavor RC kick. I also order the fried pickles and a fountain drink. I really love the amount of flavor and level of spice my combo bucket had. It was spicy enough that keeps me wanting to eat it and at the same time, I keep going back to my drink to cool myself down to keep on eating haha. The combo only came with one sausage, corn, and potatoes; you can order more but they are extra so make sure you are not sharing your bucket if those are some of the things you like about the seafood boil. The fried pickles were honestly ok, they did not wow me. Whatever batter they used for them could use more kick to it and make the breeding thicker but that's just my personal preference. I also did not like the ranch they gave me with my pickles, it was really watery and they only gave me one. After I was seated I never had a waiter come around my table to ask if I needed a refill. I found out if you want a refill you need to go up to the bar area and ask for a refill. They will give you a new cup with a refill due to the pandemic. Also near the bar, they have to-go containers, extra bibs, and bags to take your food in. So other than the ranch and the refill things everything else was fine. read more

Service was not great. Trang the server who took my order seemed to be annoyed at my questions. Shaking her head and acting like how is she supposed to know the answer. Kinda rude, like we cant read body language. I can understand if they were busy, but they were not. The chicken we order was garlic. Looked like it was an order that was canceled as the box they gave us was falling apart from long exposure of steam. Crawfish was good though. A little over price compared to the current market with other places. read more

Red Claws was delicious. I am picky when it comes to a seafood boil & this one is full of flavor. You go up to order at the cashier and they bring your food to you. If you need to add anything there are employees walking around checking on you. The music was at the right volume so no one was screaming. I would go again. read more

I've stopped by multiple times everything here is good the sauce is soo good best in the dfw

Overall place was accommodating. Line wasn't too bad probably was a 20 minute wait. Once you are seated your food comes out pretty fast. They didn't have anymore crawfish for combo over rice so they substituted it with chicken. However they didn't change the price which is scandalous. Also there is no refills on fountain drinks. Only water overall 6.5 out of 10 read more

Needed some crab legs and crawfish.. It's pretty cool how they are monitoring traffic flow.. However, at the point and what I've seen today the 6ft rule is not being the rule for everyone. They are requiring everyone to wear mask which is great. What I also like is they have a door for ordering/paying and Seoerate door for pickup. (Two Seoerate doors but same entrance)-A for effort. And they are only allowing two inside at One-Time... My bill came out to $158.02 for three adults and one child. My order was ready in Twelve Minutes... Oh Yeah oh yeah... The chicken tenders smell so good.and they are big. Now my meal was well worth it. My crawfish was large and good. My medium seasoning was great.. I sweated, had my nose cleared. The snow crabs -whew read more

I'm not the biggest fan of this place. The food itself was great! Solid boil. The main complaint I have is the ambiance/setup of the whole experience. I see that some other people have outlined the process in other reviews so I won't drone on too much but basically part of the experience of seafood that I enjoy is being served and sitting and enjoying my food and this restaurant is just super labor intensive. It wasn't my favorite place to get a boil but if you're in the area and craving crab I wouldn't say don't go. Just be prepared for a super informal experience and less bells and whistles but for the same price as everywhere else. read more

Came for a good time not a long time! Got here about 8:30 the line was very long all the way to the door. Since I was solo I always elect to eat at the bar! All of the servers behind the bar were very accommodating! I had the Bentley Margarita on the rocks! 9/10. I'm not a drinker so one was perfect. For food I got -the garlic noodles with crawfish 9/10. Very flavorful the catfish tails weren't fresh but complemented the noodles well. They came first so I got pretty full before the boil came -Bucket 7 $42. It was delish I've eaten here in the past but it had been at least 3 years since my last visit. The sauce was different but definitely not spicy! I got the mild and really enjoyed it. Don't really trust reheating it so I had a lot let! Definitely enough for 2 depending on the appetites read more

I ordered a #3 seafood bag and a pina cola paying 82 dollars including gratitude percent. Yong did not ask me for my identification when ordering food and alcohol drink. Not once did I know the shrimp wasn't deveined let alone I wasn't asked. I asked if someone could speak to me about it just for Panda to come to my table with a nasty attitude. He never gave me a chance to speak and walked away. As the manager in charge he was unprofessional. I will be getting my money back!!! This place does not have it on the site that shrimp ARE NOT DEVEINED nor in the restaurant .... My thing is everyone doesn't want to eat shit. Before coming to my table it was observed as unprofessional talking shit. Not only that the bags aren't big enough for what's all included and never asked if we would like bibs for the seafood to protect clothing. As a state employee I will be getting my money back!!!! Panda needs to be let go immediately read more

I went to this restaurant last night for a friends informal birthday dinner. I had the two cluster snow crab legs/lemon pepper/mild. My boyfriend added some sausage and potatoes to my order and got a catfish and shrimp basket. We also ordered a side of hushpuppies. My crab legs were fine. I have no complaints about them. However, the sausage wasn't good. It had been sitting in the bag of sauce but somehow managed to have no flavor. The catfish and shrimp? Cooked perfectly with no flavor. It's as if there was no seasoning added. The highlight was the hush puppies. Those were delicious. Another thing to mention is that you have to order and pay as soon as you arrive. I assume they've had issues with people who dine and dash. It's not necessarily a big deal, but not something I've experienced at other establishments like Shell Shack or Tasty Tails. Also, people should know that if your entire party isn't there, they will not seat you. Lastly, I didn't use the restrooms but my best friend said the ladies room was disgusting. Overall, although I liked my crab legs I wouldn't recommend this location. read more

First time we visited, and we really liked it. When we arrived, the wait was an hour and a half, but because of my eagle eyes, and height, I spotted to seats at the bar. The bartender was great explaining the menu, and I ordered 1 lbs of crawfish, and my wife had bucket 1, that came with a lbs of shrimp, crawfish, sausage, and corn. My wife gave me her crawfish, and she had more than 1 lbs of shrimp, and she ate every bit of it, as well as everything thing else. The staff was very friendly, and we felt the prices were right in line. FYI, their top shelf Cadillac Margarita was worth the $12.00 price. We will return to try the king crab. Stay Hungry my friends... read more

Got Bucket number 4 headless to go, all 3 seasonings and hot. I am soooo glad I didnt try the super hot because hot was hot enough.
