Honestly, i've never left a review before, but after the incredible service and delicious food that i received i felt like i had to. All the staff members were incredibly kind and welcoming and my dungeness crab boil was the best i've ever had read more

I went in with a friend to try out their hotpot menu. It was our first time and we let our waiter Roger know, he was super helpful and patient with us as we had a lot of questions. He helped us decide on what items we would like best and constantly checked up on us making our experience so much better! The food was great, the curry broth was my favorite! I will definitely be coming back soon to try the other options on the menu! read more

We discovered Simmers during COVID because they offered outdoor seating, and it has been our hands-down FAVORITE seafood boil spot ever since! The flavors are absolutely UNMATCHED! And then they added hot pot?! SAY LESS! The menu has amazing Asian-inspired flavors, but there's truly something for everyone's taste buds. We live almost TWO HOURS away, and best believe, whenever that seafood boil craving hits, we're making the drive to Simmers! That's how you know it's THAT good. The staff is always attentive, the service is great, and the flavors are consistently immaculate. You can taste the quality in every bite! 100/10 -- HIGHLY RECOMMEND! If you haven't tried Simmers yet, you're seriously missing out! read more

Am I a *little* crazy for driving 1.5 hours from SF just to try out a new seafood boil spot? Possibly...and left not disappointed. I enjoy more of an "asian" taste when it comes to seafood boil flavors, so the fact that this place has hotpot only made my expectations higher. Prices are fair, and there were empty spots with no line by the time I left (6PM). I ordered 1lb of head on shrimp, clam, and mussel with the combo of potatoes, corn and sausage, with a side of garlic noodles. The highlight is the Simmer Sauce, which is a sweet, spicy, and a little savory/garlicky. The medium packed a kick, so I would definitely get mild for the low spice tolerance people. Shrimp was huge and tasted pretty fresh. Clams varied in size with some clam meat being smaller than others. Mussels were solid, but I noticed we had a couple of closed shells. The garlic noodles paired perfectly with everything, acting both as carbs and great for dipping in the sauce. Although this place beats most if not all seafood boils in the bay area, I had to wait about 30min for my garlic noodles. My server claimed they were making a new batch, but it was a little disappointing having mostly finished everything before they were served. I also had to flag my server down instead of them coming over for updates on my order and getting my bill. The seafood boil came within 10min otherwise though. read more

I doordashed from here for a large gathering of 12 people. 2 Family combos (house sauce med) + 1 combo (sausage/corn/potato) Garlic noodles Fried shrimp Shaking beef The whole shrimps were HUGE and tender, not rubbery at all. We were pleasantly surprised and guests were satisfied. The crawfish were big as well. The star was the sauce though. Perfectly addictive umami! read more

We ordered combo 1 and added Kobe beef more. Broth looks so yummy. I love Tomyam broth. It has some kick of sourness a bit then blend it in with the sweetness of all veggies we had. Our waitress was very nice and patient. They were a bit busy on Sunday evening but no waiting time for us. I saw one kid got her prize from the game booth. Good experience here. We will come back. I would love to give 5 stars but my son took 1 stars out due to the flies. read more

The place is in a strip mall, lots of parking. Inside there is booth/table seating. They also do hot pot, so they can accommodate parties that want to do both (seafood boil/hotpot). We came for an early dinner on a Saturday - will say that as we were leaving they were getting REALLY busy, so the wait might be long. We were seated right away and our server was super friendly. The food was really good, and many in our party commented on the cook of the shrimp. It was perfect, whereas many other places can overcook the seafood in a boil. We liked that they had the egg add-on. The crispy shrimp appetizer was also really flavorful. One of the stars of the menu were the garlic noodles. So tasty, we needed to order a second plate of them! 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

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

The staff were really nice! Seafood in general is expensive so the market price sounded right. I don't feel like there was a big upcharge for anything. The flavor was amazing! We had so much fun. I wish the combo came with double to potatoes as they're fairly cheap and it would make it feel like a lot more food. You need all the napkins you can possibly get. It's messy work but worth it. I made more potatoes and corn with my left overs and ate for 2 more meals! read more

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

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

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

My party of 8 had a disappointing experience this past Sunday at Simmer Claw Bar. Their IG page showed happy hour from 12-4pm on Saturday and Sunday. But when we got there, the waiter said there is no happy hour on the weekends. When I showed him their actual menu that was posted to their IG account, all he said was "that's old". We ended up just leaving and going somewhere else. read more

We ordered a mix of crayfish , prawns , mussels , clams, corn and sausage The prawns was not cleaned out, the corn was way overcooked , over half of the clams was not open( dangerous to eat) the kitchen should check that before serving it . 15% was added to our check for 3 adults and 2 kids We will not be back read more

The food was not good. We got the hot pot and escargot. the mushrooms in the hot pot tasted fermented, the meat was just ok, the seafood did not taste fresh and the escargot was slimy. The service was slow and the music was too loud. Never going here again. read more

Simmer Claw Bar is always delicious. At first, I didn't know what to expect from a restaurant that served both hot pot and a seafood boil- it's kind of a weird combination. After trying both multiple times, I can say without a doubt that Simmer Claw Bar has nailed every meal I've eaten there. The atmosphere is really casual and laid back. Simmer also has a pretty good selection of drinks, including soju, beers, and cocktails. The only thing to note is that hot pot and seafood boil tables only sit 4, so keep that in mind if you have a large party! Oh, make sure to try the garlic noodles- they're to die for! read more

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

Upon arrive the ambiance was amazing good music mellow vibes and cute decor! The drink menu is extensive and the Thai tea was so delicious. It was all going well up until we placed our order and we were sent the wrong bags. Originally my bf and I thought they split out 1lbs into two bags until the waiter came over and told us the order was wrong and they would have to take the plate away or charge us. At this point it really wasn't out fault and it felt fucked up that they fully charged my man for a mistake someone else made I get it it's a Buissness but it honestly rubed me the wrong way. We didn't make a fuss and paid but I will not be going back there again bc of the service. It's a shame bc it's a cool establishment maybe I will go back for a drink but I will not be buying food from here again 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

Our host was very friendly at first. Took the time to go over the happy hour menu. We ordered our food which was 2 boil bags and a side of rice and garlic noodles. We ordered our drinks as well. The food came out at a decent pace but our drinks and sides didn't. We had to flag down our host to remind him. The aroma of the bags smelled delicious and when I opened it immediately I was taken back. The sauce looked more jelly than butter. The flavor was kind of artificially sweet which I was not expecting to taste. The potato's were not cooked through. The garlic noodles were still a little undercooked and again lacking flavor of freshness. The host never came back to check on us. I had to ask someone else to please look for our host so we could pay and get out of there. After paying our host came by the table and said "oh my god I'm so sorry, was the food at least good for you?" I quickly replied "no" he said he could ask the manager to stop by the table and I said "it's ok I've already paid" I was disappointed in the food and the service. 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

Went to Karaoke night for the first time. Initially, we thought it might be a distraction to have dinner during karaoke, but it turned out to be an absolute blast. Our group had such a great time listening to the karaoke, singers, and then participating once we finished our meal. We also tried the hot pot for the first time. All of the selections were fresh. The meat looked and tasted good. The vegetables were all crisp and delicious. Our broths were full of umami. I also give five Gold stars to the staff. They were so attentive, checked on us like every five minutes. Responded to all of our requests right away. Something I noticed that you don't see a lot of anymore, all of the staff, from the bartenders, to the servers, to the bussers, they all had huge smiles and were friendly, and they seemed to be enjoying the karaoke as much as we were. Definitely, we could not pass on the garlic noodles, one of our favorites and we went to the condiment bar and got extra garlic and chili oil and put it over our garlic noodles and made them even tastier. We can't wait to bring more family and friends back to simmer claw. This place has become a Rohnert Park institution. 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

Really great restaurant! My girlfriend and I come here several times a month because the food is always delicious, the staff are incredibly friendly, and there are plenty of options.
