I wanted crabs and looked up some places in Ft worth and this came up so we stopped in. You order at the counter which is ok but pricing here was more like that of a full service restaurant. I got the number 3 crabs and shrimp (headless) and the amount of shrimp was HUGE! I will say it wasn't deveined so there is work to do, i thought the charge for headless might include it but it doesn't. There was 2 large snow crab clusters and they were easy to crack and pull out the meat. They had the perfect amount of spice. Two pieces of corn and two potatoes came with it as well as two sausage which was all delicious. I can't comment on the taste of the shrimp as i don't usually eat it but my husband said it was good except for the work required. We also tried the hot chicken and ordered medium and it was almost too hot to eat. This is compared to my crab meal which was ordered hot it was almost like they switched it around but i checked the receipt and it wasn't ordered that way. I would say if you want the chicken maybe go w mild. It wasn't super busy when we arrived but we got there when it opened. They play pretty good music but it's a little loud. Tables all draped w plastic tablecloths which are handy w the mess. They do have a handwashing area you can use and even though you get gloves and a bib if you need it and bathrooms were clean. read more

My Boyfriend was in the mood for Seafood. So, he told me about this place and we headed over on a Friday night. The place was packed! We were able to order quickly. Our food came out pretty quickly even though there was a crowd. We ordered some Sausage, Corn, Shrimp, Crawfish and Potatoes with mild sauce. Soft Drinks are like 4.25 but, you get refills. Everything you need is at the table. Paper Towels and the plastic gloves and Bibs. I think, it would be nice if, they had a self serve Drink Station verses flagging down someone to help. It's pretty expensive, it was like $95.00 for everything! Loud country music was playing and there were lots of families all around. Restrooms are clean too. Check out the Red Claw Crab Shack if your wanting a clean environment, high prices, semi good service, loud country music and tasty Seafood. read more

Service was non existent, walked in waiting to be seated and stood for several minutes before seeing a small sign under the bar that said to walk to the counter for service, several employees looked at us and didn't say anything. Walked up to the counter, again expecting to be seated, instead they want you to order at the counter and pay for your food before hand. Expected a restaurant experience but the place functions more like a fast food chain, ended up walking out. read more

My husband ordered the shrimp basket and I ordered the catfish and shrimp basket. My husband got his food in about 10 minutes...30 minutes later I had to ask about my order and I was told it would be a couple of minutes because they were 'plating' it. Fifteen minutes later I still didn't have my food. I waited almost an hour before I got my food. I couldn't leave because you pay in advance. FYI, tartar sauce (from my husband's meal) is made with sweet pickle relish, not so good. read more

I will just say that this experience for a first time guest was HORRIBLE!! When I entered the restaurant the cashier who was a guy was okay but not great at customer service. I asked him about the menu preferably the seafood boil bag and he directs me to the highest item on the menu. Then when I tell him what I want he points to the lowest. I asked questions about not wanting certain things his response was he could do no substitute but I told you what I didn't want I didn't ask for a substitute. So I gather my items he gave which was a bucket a small silver bowl and that's it. Food comes out by a young lady she goes back to where she came from and started back on her phone. They did not give me a bib, or gloves. I had to go and ask for that. Then I didn't have anything to break the crab leg so I had to get up AGAIN and ask for something to break the crab leg. WHOLE time they weee both on their phones. The shrimp were still dirty the sauce was sooo salty I was so disappointed that I threw it all away and walked out. I will not visit this place again. read more

Great spot! Came here with my family we got 3lbs shrimp with Cajun hot and let me tell you it was so good. It was spicy enough to have me blowing my nose but not extreme to where you can't even taste the flavor, perfect level if you want spicy but not overwhelming. We also got the friend pickles, hush puppies and ranch fries, pretty good as well nothing too special about those but can't go wrong with ordering them. If was pretty packed considering it was a Friday night around 8 so expected. We were still able to get a table since as people get up the clean them relatively fast, music was good and the workers come by asking if you need anything pretty often. Overall great spot for families or singles as they do also have a pretty big bar! read more

If you're searching for seafood (fried or boiled), wings (boneless or bone-in), or Hot Chicken, then Red Claws is a great option. Highly recommend the fried catfish, hush puppies, & vinegar coleslaw. Others gave 5 stars to the boiled & fried shrimp. Food is served fresh/hot. Drink options include a full bar, tea, & sodas. Tables are kept so clean by the attentive staff. Several TVs show sports. Location is easy to get to with plenty of parking. read more

Food- everything comes out as it's ready, hot and fresh. Great flavor & seasoning. Portions are decent as well. Service- order when you walk in, they'll bring it to your table. Very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Ambiance- TV's, Music, clean and seems to run very orderly. Tables set for just about any group size read more

I've been to this location before but yesterday just did it for me... i usually go to crawlin crab down the street but they were closed at the moment so I went here instead. I ordered two seafood boils with shrimp, potato, sausage, eggs,etc. with a side of catfish. The catfish? like the other review said..it taste like they caught this fish out the lake and skinned it and fried it. It was bland and theee skinniest/smallest fillet...and they're tryna charge $5 for it? Chile please. Anyways...on to the seafood boil.. the shrimp was gummy and soft to the point where I couldn't finish eating them I just threw it away. the potato's were overcooked to the point where the skin was already off of them...they just looked like eggs at that point. Just falling apart as I picked them up to eat them...definitely learned my lesson and I hate that it took me spending over $100 to learn it but when you know better you do better ! read more

Sometimes you work on the holidays and you don't wanna cook and you don't wanna eat crappy fast food. This is a place to go to!!!! Not only because they're open on the holiday because they give great service and the food is delicious. I had a great experience and I didn't have to wash dishes or cook, just enjoy the holidays after a long day of work thank you red claw you were a lifesaver read more

The food here is amazing. I usually come with my spouse and the RC1 combo plus loaded fries basket is usually enough for 2 meals for us. I recommend getting their signature sauce. The crawfish are so tender and fresh in season. Out of season they're still good, but you just can't beat fresh crawfish. Out of season, we prefer the shrimp which stays plump and snappy no matter when you go. The combo only comes with one corn and potato though so we add on extra of those so we can each have one. This time we got the ramen on the side as well and it was good but not worth the price. Just take it home and make ramen yourself. Taking it home might be the move bc it gets better the longer it sits in the sauce. Only gripe I have is they seem to always have long wait times... read more

Dear Seniors, I've been buying their King Crab by the pound for awhile and it's always done well, you get choice how spices you want or flavor but we just like its taste plain with little butter dipping sauce. We usually get a Generous portion from here. Sadly my most recent order was sadly allowed when they should have told me they were out of King Crab and substituted snow crab bits and pieces. A suggestion going forward i will asked to see the King Crab before they cook it. I knew rules going in as it's posted NO REFUNDS. Happy Trails Seniors, Sincerely, Chris & Sharon read more

Food was amazing. We come here often it's been a few months and came back today and it's still amazing. This place don't miss! They are consistent the food is always good. We get the bucket with shrimp and crab, medium, with ramen. The potatoes, corn and sausage are great. Staff at the bar are always nice and pleasant. Even when we sit in the dining area service is ok. We always recommend red claw read more

The crab and shrimp are delicious! This was my third time ordering, but the customer service? Terrible. We ordered Bucket #4 online and paid extra for headless shrimp, yet they left the heads on. I called to fix it, offering to send a picture, but Damian insisted I return the shrimp to get a replacement--after I had already dumped everything out. ‍ He offered 10% off next time. But what the hell?! This place isn't cheap. This was a special occasion, not some random meal. I don't want a discount--I just want my order right. First-world problems, I know But after a long day of work, paying almost $100 for this meal, all I wanted was to enjoy my food, and because someone else messed up, my whole experience was ruined. And now I wasted time talking to Damian, writing this stupid review, and my food is cold. Now I have to get up and warm it up. Moral of the story: Check your order before you leave, because they won't fix their mistakes. read more

I got a shrimp boil. It was absolutely horrible. The shrimp was so overcooked that I literally had to peel the skin off the shrimp piece by piece. Definitely don't recommend. And the seasoning/flavor was mid at best. Also. The noodles were trash. Only good thing were the eggs. read more

I was debating on leaving a review because it's not a positive one but it's been two hours and mouth still has the bad taste of bleached crab. The only thing hot was the potatoes all else was cold and the king crab taste like bleach. It was not a good experience. The steamed rice was good. The service was okay. The place is spacious and seemed clean. Definitely not worth the $156 for the bucket with king crab, snow crab, and shrimp. I will not be back. I will keep going to the place down the street. read more

Red Claws Crab Shack - Seafood Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

This was a "let's try something different ". So my husband and I ate here. The food was just ok. It tastes good, went down easy enough but nothing to really brag about. I tried the gumbo, it had really good flavor but only one shrimp, and one piece of fish, and on sausage. So that was disappointing. Got the shrimp basket, enjoyed the French fry's the best Ambiance was just ok Service was ok read more

I want to start by saying the food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff working the floor were fantastic and really made us feel welcome. Everyone from the servers to the kitchen team clearly takes pride in what they do, and it shows. Unfortunately, our experience was soured by an interaction with the asian manager, who was surprisingly rude and dismissive. While the rest of the team was doing a wonderful job, the manager's attitude felt out of place unprofessional and unnecessarily confrontational. It was disappointing, especially given how hard the rest of the staff worked to create a great experience. I'd love to return for the food and the amazing team, but I hope management takes steps to reflect the same level of respect and hospitality as their staff. They deserve better leadership, and so do the customers. read more

The customer service for picking an order is decent and quick. I ordered the gumbo with rice, a side of corn and potatoes. The corn and potatoes were seasoned well, however the potatoes should have been left longer to cook. The rice paired well with the gumbo, however the rice should have been left longer to cook as well. The gumbo came with saltine crackers. The prices are affordable and the environment I would describe is casual. The spice level of the potatoes and corn was decent, not overwhelming. All in all, it was nice to find a place nearby that sells gumbo, corn and potatoes. read more

The customer service at this location is piss poor. I have been going to Red Claw for years (North Dallas and Arlington). Tried this location with family from out of town. They got several of our orders wrong and upon being asked to fix THEIR misunderstanding some man with glasses chose to argue with me that "I" ordered incorrectly. They charge 15% gratuity up front for parties 6+. You get your own drinks, own to go bags, and have to ask multiple times for the alcoholic beverage you ordered up front. I would not have left a tip AT ALL for the "service" I received had it not been charged up front. I would give service 0 stars if I could. My family spent over $1k here and the service was terrible. The employee cut me off, tried to speak over me, and clearly maintained an attitude throughout the entire interaction. Food was decent per usual but If I was associated with this establishment I would definitely clean house on the RUDE STAFF since I see throughout the reviews that this is consistent at this location. My family nor I will be back. read more

I ordered the medium hot chicken tenders. The heat level was intense, and the flavor of the chicken still came through. I prefer that the heat come from the oil, but these tenders were coated in powdery spices that made the chicken taste dry. It was an expensive lunch for one, $16.76. An order consists of four large tenders for $9. Fries are extra: $3.50 A soft drink is $3. That's a lot of food. Three tenders at a lower price might make me want to come back for more. BTW, the order of fries was huge and, for some reason, came to the table about five minutes before the chicken. I noticed this at other tables, too. Strange. read more

Several issues with this place. They give crab clusters with no meat, while that will happen sometimes, if they were actually weighing their clusters then they would actually give their patrons what they pay for. Second, the three people in our party all became horribly ill before we even got home after eating here. 4 days later, and we are just now recovering. I don't know if the seafood was bad or if it was stored incorrectly, but we have never became ill from Seafood or spices before. I reached out to the restaurant and they ignored my email, so they obviously don't care. read more

Girl's Day Out!!! My homie wanted seafood so we hit this joint up to see what it was on. She ordered the #3 seafood boil that consisted of two snow crab clusters, corn, shrimp and potatoes.

However them lemon pepper wangs were a NO-GO, DO NOT PASS GO OR COLLECT TWO HUNDRED DOLLAS!!! Small in size, overcooked, dry and salty asf. I wouldn't recommend the wings, but the seafood was legit.

Service did not occur, they took the order but the food did not come out correctly. They did bring the missing item, sausage in the boil. My boil came out but they did not put the plastic down, did not provide the small bucket, nor the aluminum to go container. We ordered drinks, paid for the drinks, and then had to remind them to make our drinks, mind you we are sitting at the bar! Now I am ready to go. We pack our food and finish at home to find a deep fried FLY cooked in the chicken that was fried to order! Oh I am NEVER returning! read more

First timer here for my bf and I. Upon walking in, there are two entrees. First one on the right door is for pickup and togo and the left hand door is for dine in. We were kind of confused on how everything went. Waited at the sign that says "please wait here to be seated" no one greeted us or anything and just kinda looked lost. Finally when one was the staff was opened, they told us to walk to the register to order and after can be seated. Never experienced anything like that before but okay. We went with the bucket sharing that came with crab legs, crawfish, shrimp, 3 potatoes, 3 corn and 3 pieces of sausages. Ordered it in RC Kick medium and man it was amazing! We absolutely enjoyed the boil! The sausages were amazing as well so I went up to order 2 more orders (6 pieces total) I would highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a good seafood boil! Totally worth the money read more

The food here is very good. It's definitely worth the hype. The service is quiet and they're honestly really nice there.

My brother and I ate here and had an all around pretty good experience. It was a little pricey, and a little salty, but overall, good food, friendly service and clean space. My brother and I were looking for somewhere to eat in Fort Worth. We don't necessarily like the same cuisines, but at Red Claws Hot chicken, you don't have to be a strictly a seafood person or strictly a chicken person. You can have both! It's the best of both worlds. And they serve alcohol! I love seafood. Shrimps, clams, mussels, oysters, all the sushi, I'm pretty much down for anything. Except herring roe. Not a fan. But they don't serve that here, so yay! I love seafood boils and I think the Asian inspired take on seafood boils is just perfection. I used to live in LA and would frequently go to boiling crab. Anyway. I love the mix of garlic, butter, lemon and Cajun seasoning. I love that I can eat my seafood boil with rice. I love eating the shrimp with the heads on. Lol. I can do all of these things at Red Claws. The sauce was excellent. A little saltier than what I'm used to, but I was not complaining. I ordered a bucket because I like the corn and potato and sausage that comes with it. The shrimps were juicy and pretty big. The crab was ok, but I honestly am a pretty cheap date and would have been happy with just shrimp. I ended up taking half home for lunch the next day. My brother, on the other hand, doesn't share this love of seafood with me and decided to come with me because they also have fried chicken. He ordered the extra-hot level of spicy wings and it came with bread and pickles. He said they were alright. The margaritas were good, the restaurant itself was bright and clean. The service was fast and friendly. It was pretty empty for the most part, lots of empty tables. A few people came in to pick up Togo orders while we were eating. I'd be back! :) read more

Red Claw is home to the best chicken sandwich I've ever had, but on the same note there is a lot they could improve on. Let's get the bad out-of-the-way first. Their menu is frustrating you can't just buy a chicken sandwich you have to buy a combo with fries. For the life of me I don't see why it would be hard to knock a couple of dollars off and sell the sandwich only. Then there's the fact they take your cell phone number for a to-go order and say they will text you when it's done I went in when it was dead not a single person in there and placed my to-go order figuring it would be a 5 or 10 minute wait I went back to my car. Well 30 minutes later I finally called them asking when my food was going ready and the proceeded to tell me that the food has been done for at least 10-15 minutes.... So yay cold food.... A courtesy call here long way to getting a 4 or 5 star review. They were not busy at all like I said I was the only one there. Now on to the good stuff! Like I mentioned before this is the best chicken sandwich I've ever ate I'm a big guy and this field me to the brim I couldn't even get my mouth around the sandwich hardly. My fries had a great flavor although they were soggy because they had been sitting for a while. I finally got a text telling me my food was ready hours later which gave me a chuckle. Long story short food is great but business practices and customer service has room to improve. read more
