Came in Saturday before golfing, was able to get a cocktail and snack at the bar. Jojo was very friendly and his recommendation for the ribs was spot on. Prices were reasonable and they were happy to change the tv to the game I wanted. The Mexican lollipop drink special hit the spot, I'll be back before the end of the month for the special. read more

I had the best time of my life. The service is beyond great. The flavors will get you lost, looking back for more. What a great establishment in and out. They have the best weekly specials! (Ask your server) Worth your money and time. Great people, great food. It doesn't get any better than this. Monday $1 wings Wednesday $1oysters Thursday - Karaoke $2 shots if you sing. And more! read more

I really love coming here for lunch or dinner. It's one of my go to places in Rohnert Park. My favorite item to get is the Garlic Noodles with Lemongrass Chicken. Recently, I tried that and I also got the Shrimp Spring Rolls and Crab Rangoons. As usual the food was good and the servers checked in on us regularly. The Shrimp Spring Rolls were my highlight; they were light, fresh, and the peanut sauce was delicious. Unfortunately, instead of my usual 5 stars, I'll have to do 3 stars instead because the latest time I came here for dinner, I found a hair in my Garlic Noodles with Lemongrass Chicken. It was super unfortunate. I understand that these things happen but when we informed the staff they simple took the food away and didn't address it at all. There was no apology, or any form of additional service to acknowledge what had happened. I'll probably come back here at some point as this has not been my usual experience but I was definitely disappointed. read more

Simmer Claw Bar - Garlic Noodles with Lemongrass Chicken - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

Restaurant Week 2026 First off, thank you to Simmer Claw for offering the "Deal for 4." That made my decision easy! I've been before but only for the seafood boil. It's good, but it doesn't pull me in the way it does my hubby. That said... I have officially fallen in love with the HOT POT experience. Now I just need to find out if you can do both at the same table!?! We arrived Tuesday around 8pm and the place was pretty full. They had an excellent DJ spinning all night, keeping the funky, fun vibes going. Our server treated us like longtime regulars or friends, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. My son-in-law and I kicked things off with sake bombs. Woot woot! I can't speak to the tasting notes, but it definitely did its job. :) The Restaurant Week menu is set and honestly felt like more than enough for the four of us so no need to order extras. Garlic noodles: We could've eaten an entire plate more. Sauce bar: Creativity is key, and I'm convinced there's no wrong combination. It was later in the evening, so a few containers were running low or empty, but everything I wanted was still available. Broths: I'm not a miso fan, but the others at the table loved it. Hands down, my favorite was the bone marrow broth. The flavor on its own was fantastic and only got better with my personal additions. I love watching four people create four completely different bowls using the same ingredients. Proteins: Pork belly, brisket, shrimp, and clams. We demolished all of it. Veggies: Fresh, clean, and beautifully presented. My favorite combo was enoki mushrooms with pork belly, dipped in a spicy sauce our server crafted for us. Oh so good. Noodles: The udon filled us up nicely. We took the egg noodles home and turned them into a cold noodle salad with extra sauce the next day. Win! Dessert didn't go as planned (they ran out), but it is what it is. Overall? LOVED it. Cannot wait to return. read more

When your brother in-law invites you to the Claw Bar for dinner, you say "yes please" and wrangle up more friends for a deliciously good time. It's been a minute since I've been back here. They added a Hot Pot experience to their offerings. What a fun way to dine for ages 4 - 54. We started off with some oysters, Frog Legs + Fries and 1lb of shrimp. The highlight of the meal was the Miso + Beef Bone Broth and Tom Yum Hot Pot. Proteins: Sesame Beef, Brisket, Shrimp, Tofu an Quail Eggs. Veggies: Napa Cabbage, Mushrooms, Broccolini and Mung Bean Noodles. The true start of the show was that homemade Tom Yum broth. Packed with amazing aromatics and depths of flavor. It was truly a party for all your senses, it left a lingering sense of joy. They offer an extensive menu, surely something to please everyone in your group. Bonus: their music playlist has you grooving while you're noshing. read more

I would come back for the happy hour and the chicken wings again.They do have wonderful staff and service was great.

I recently found out Simmer Claw Bar has hot pot! As you know, Sonoma County lacks hot pot spots. This is the first hot pot spot I have tried in the county and it did not disappoint! There are 2 Combos to choose from and we went with Combo #1, which helps direct you to choosing the broth (pick 2), the Meats & Seafood (pick 4), Vegetables & Mushroom (pick 2). You can order Combo #2 if you would like more food or have a larger party. For a party of 2, Combo #1 was the perfect size. Or, you can order a la carte as well. We went with the Curry & Miso soup base served half/half in a large square pot. We went with Skirt Steak and the brisket, instant noodle, udon, Enoki, Tofu and Napa Cabbage. They have a sauce bar where you can create your own dipping sauces (soy sauce, garlic, chili paste, sesame oil, lemon juice, cilantro, etc). Let me tell you, the quality of the food is excellent, fresh, beef was sliced and trimmed well, even the enoki mushroom ends were chopped clean. The broths are also delicious and hearty with free broth refills! The price is a bit higher than you would get at various hot pot places in the city but for the quality of the food, the attention to details on food presentation, clean sauce bar, it's worth it. I will definitely be back when I'm craving hot pot! read more

We got 6 oysters on the half shell and a boil with 1# clams and 1# crayfish, one order of corn and one of potatoes. Corn was two pieces about 1-1/2 inches thick, three red potatoes. $71. Not worth it IMO. Most of the staff seemed friendly but our waitress was a dud. When taking our order she just stood there looking toward the door and then we had to repeat the whole thing because she hadn't been listening. Also unfortunately it was karaoke night, so not long after we arrived we had to listen to loud, bad singing. It was worth a try but we will not go back. read more

After Christmas perfect place to take the family for dinner. If you like sea food this is the place to go. Came here with the family to celebrate the MAN's birthday. Food was delicious:) I am not a fan of Sea food but Simmer did not disappoint. We had the shrimp in a bag with nice amount of shrimp, potatoes and corn with the Garlic Butter. We all ordered something different so we could share and take a little of everything and soooo delicious. Service was a little slow but was to be expected since it's right after Christmas other than that service was excellent. Ambiance is casual dress up or dress down everything goes and I loved the Christmas Decor. I highly recommend giving these sea food restaurant a try and I guarantee it will not disappoint your palate. Five stars for this restaurant:) read more

I've been living only maybe a 10 minute walk from this establishment for the past two years and I finally made it after all that time. Great place to watch sports and have drinks and good seafood. Since today's Monday, they offer $1 wings for a half dozen, great deal if you ask me. My favorite flavor was Cajun. The wings were fat with plenty of meat, better than our local wing spot here in Rohnert Park *Cough Cough*. For the main entree, we ordered the shrimp (Head off) seafood boil with a few add ons like, potatoes, sausage and corn for $8. We also ordered a side of garlic noodles. For drinks, I ordered a Mexican bomb which is about 1/4 of beer in a pint glass and it comes with a shot of tequila and tajin on the rim. I personally wish there was more beer but it was decent nonetheless. The wife ordered 'The Bayou Berry' and gave it a 2.5/5 stars. The total was approximately $84 for everything. Definitely excited to come back and try more items on the menu! read more

This place is very cool. They do all kinds of great seafood and'll do it in sort of Cajun style. They have more than one kind. Of course, we always go with the Cajun style. My husband is from New Orleans, and we all love it, so we order a couple of big bags of seafood, bring them to the house, put the newspaper down on the table, and have an absolute feast. Everything was gone, and the seafood was seasoned beautifully. There is absolutely no way we're not coming back. Service is definitely efficient, quick, no fuss, no muss. Rustic very uniquely decorated, but the seafood is fire. Make no mistake. If you like seafood and especially Cajun, you will love this spot; it will be your new favorite. You will not be disappointed cheers, my friends as SYOY. August 28, 2025 read more

Love the environment here , the music , the food and the atmosphere, everything are just right .

Crawfish was on point and delicious oyster was so fresh.our server carsha G, was so attentive!

Overview: Busy mainly seafood boil sports bar.... food cooked in a plastic bag. Meal/Time: Dinner/Saturday/540PM Party Size: 2 Seated: 541PM Ordered: 552PM (we asked for a few minutes to review the menu) First ordered item arrived: 600PM Check back: 613PM / 625PM Decor/Atmosphere: Seafood sports bar. Wall mounted TVs. Claw Machines. High ceiling over an open bar. There is a board behind the cashier that tells you the market price for the various seafood boil options...really helpful. 1 pound minimum per item. Service/ Front of the House: Greeted. Asked if we were doing seafood or hot pot. Service/Serving Staff: Rodrigo: Friendly. Patient and informative. Food: Korean short ribs $21.00 Cooked and served on a piping hot iron pan so becareful!! Nice char and smokey notes. Sweet and savory marinade. Like all Korean short ribs they can be a bit chewy, but its worth the effort. The ribs sit on top of some sliced white onions. Do not ignore the onions. They get really tender and pickup the sweetness from the ribs. **Pro tip, if you want garlic noodles $10 when you add it to your seafood boil. Just get the udon noodles $6 with the garlic butter sauce. The udon is added into the bag and will pick up the garlic butter flavors and save $4 at the same time. Value: Expensive Restroom: Men's room has 1 urinal and 2 stalls and a single sink. The handicap stall is roomy and should be able to accommodate a wheelchair. The regular stall is bit on the narrow side. However, wherever I stepped, the floors felt a bit tacky. Will I come back?: No thanks... we only went for the experience. Pretty pricey... cost to quality to quanity ratio did not make me want to come back. read more

That's cool that they have hot pot here! in Rohnert Park! We didn't try it this time since we came for happy hour. We love their clam happy hour and got the seafood boil (medium spicy), but it wasn't quite spicy enough so next time we'll go for spicy-spicy haha. We also tried the coconut shrimp with Cajun fries, and it was delicious. Next time, I want to try their sweet potato fries and definitely check out the hot pot. The service was great! very friendly staff and the food came out quickly. The restaurant is pretty big, with lots of TVs playing sports. We came around 3 PM, so it was pretty quiet, with only a few other tables occupied. I'm sure it gets busier at night. read more

What a deal to visit Simmer Claw Bar during happy hour. We initially planned to get some appetizers but we noticed they they offer the seafood boils during happy hour as well. The lemongrass clam in our opinion is the highlight and the coconut shrimp was a close second. We got the ez peel shrimp boil at medium spice level but honestly we could have gone up a level and still be fine. The sauce was more sweet than spicy. We will get spicy next time. Overall the amount of food we got was a lot and took home about half of it to enjoy later. Definitely a place to go during happy hour! read more

Simmer Claw Bar is a seafood lover's paradise. The menu is packed with options, whether you go for the seafood boil or the hot pot, you cannot go wrong. I tried the seafood boil with shrimp, snow crab and sausage in their signature simmer sauce - sooo good! The hot pot option is a fun, interactive experience, and the broth options are sooo rich and flavorful. It's perfect for sharing with friends or family, with tons of variations or meat and veggies to customize your pot. We shared a hot pot for 3 people and it was more than enough food to handle lol. Our server, Izzi was attentive and friendly. Great food is one thing, but the service made the experience even better. Overall, 1000000/10. I was in a food coma for hours. I can't wait for my next visit! Pro tip: The garlic noodles is a must-try side --they pair perfectly with both the boil and the hot pot. read more

Came here to celebrate my husbands birthday with a large party of 11. They required a $50 deposit when making a reservation for parties over 8 which is used toward your bill after your meal. The waiter did a nice job of explaining how the process works for ordering a seafood boil since it was our first time here. We all enjoyed the food! Everything was delicious! We enjoyed our seafood boil and appetizers. The prices of the various seafood was listed on a chalkboard in the back of the restaurant which was difficult to read, so we had to walk up to get a closer look. I would love to come back and try their hot pot or another seafood boil. read more

We love this place but this visit was ridiculous. It wasn't very busy. Our server Carlos was the worst. Took forever to greet us and when did I ordered a cocktail Once in a Blackberry drink. He couldn't figure it out it was listed on the drink menu. Oh there it is he said. It took him forever to deliver it. I asked about my drink and he said the bartender was making lots of drink orders. No he wasn't there nobody in there. He said 5 minutes. Our starters came out and we had to ask for plates and silverware. The bartender delivered the food and we asked him to bring us plates. He said okay. But then he ended up chatting with the manager and looking on their phones while our food was getting cold we waited until I decided to go and ask for plates and told the manager that the service was horrible. She then proceeded to keep checking on us throughout the day. When we decided to finally pay our bill which we split it 3 ways. The server brought us our receipts and forgot to bring us our credit cards. Had to go ask another server for our credit cards. Our server came back and said oh I was told I forgot to give you back your credit cards. Oops that made my day that was funny. We were like Huh? That was funny to you? He seriously needs a wake up. I hope next time poor Carlos is not our server. Other than that the food was pretty good. read more

We had the Whole Shabang, coconut shrimp with Cajun fries, shaking beef, garlic noodles and a half dozen oysters. The beef dish was not a repeat dish (it was pretty chewy for filet mignon). The rest was spot on. I had my first crawfish and I didn't think i would like sucking the juice out of the head part, but it was delicious. The 6 of us all had a memorable dinner and the staff couldn't have been nicer. We will be back. read more

I was really looking forward to give this place a second chance , but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The food lacked flavor and tasted low-quality, especially for the price. Service was inattentive -- it felt like the staff wasn't interested in helping or checking in. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it unless major improvements are made. - 3 months ago I came here with family and the food lacked of flavor but since they were very busy I justified the lack of service.

Hubby and I decided to try the hot pot at Simmer Claw and had a wonderful time. We had the oyster appetizer and hot pot combo 1. The combo came with plenty of delicious options to add to the broth and everything came out fresh and prepared to drop right into pot. There is even a lovely sauce bar to grab addition sauces to add to broth. Service was slow when we first got there but as we sat plenty of customers came in. You can tell our server was busy, but he still did a great job of coming around and checking on us. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting.
