Every dish was execellent! Snow crabs legs were meaty & fresh, delicious. Wish the happy hour had the oysters but the pei specials were delicious and came with great horseradish and vinaigrette dressing. Shishito peppers with goat cheese were next level and the fresh bread baguette with whipped butter was a fluffy and crispy all at the same time. Great vibe and friendly staff. We lived our time there and would 100 % go back! read more

The atmosphere is lively but not too lively. The decor is cool with layers of lights and decor. There is a long bat and bar table which would be great for a group of friends. The drinks were good and I liked that they had NA crushes with fresh juice! We have snow crab legs, tater tots and asparagus. They were all very good! The catfish was just fine. Overall - good experience and we will be back! read more

Starboard Claw - Bar - Seafood Near Me - Dewey Beach, Delaware

Starboard claw always is a must when you're in Dewey beach. Their crab dip is delicious along with any of their other crab entrees. Their drink menu is extensive and they have many crush flavors. It's always packed in there but the servers make sure your cup is never empty. The oysters are also a favorite! read more

There is both inside and outside seating and an upstairs with a bar and outside dining area. Lots of fabulous drinks to try. I stuck with my crushes. They didn't disappoint. My friends ordered a dish with chicken and seafood. I went for the chicken salad! The chicken salad was fantastic with a wonderful flavor. The appetizer was delicious. Hush puppies shaped like devil horns, served with a slightly sweet butter! Our server was very attentive and friendly. It was a little cold sitting upstairs because part of the bar is open to outside. All in all a great dinner. read more

Very nice place to grab some food and drinks. Multi level with plenty of seating. Has both an upstairs bar and downstairs bar. Booths and high tops, as well as table seats available. Adorable decor and great atmosphere. There's a great sink area for easy washing after indulging in some crabs. All employees were friendly and attentive. We only came in for a late night drink. Ordered two delicious cocktails- espresso martini and a blueberry spritz. Both were tasty. Nice place to chill. I can imagine this place is packed during seasonal peak hours. There's no parking at all and parking in Dewey is always a challenge. read more

Recently went twice. Once with my wife on the rooftop for cocktails and an appetizer. Another with a big group (family reunion). Food and drinks were SO good. Such a great place! read more

The Claw was busy and boisterous but a fun atmosphere. We were seated promptly and our server was pleasant and attentive. However, the food was disappointing. Claw soup was described on the menu one way and came with different vegetables, including undercooked green beans! Ugh. It was not as described and was very spicy. Sandwiches were meh. We expected so much more, but felt it didn't even rise to chain restaurant quality. read more

The management and crew were very informative, helpful and friendly. Salad and rice was very tasty read more

The drinks were really good we did get an appetizer which was the blackened ahi tuna which was prepared differently than most restaurants there wasn't much flavor honestly. I got a crab cake which was better than average my wife got the steam pot that was just alright she said. Again I will say the drinks were most certainly the best part and were very good! read more

We always have an awesome time at Claw. Really nice layout and great outdoor areas. The Starboard ale is also an excellent hazy IPA especially with happy hour prices. Hard shells are really good here with fair prices Special shout out for putting the Tour de France finale on for us with sound, too read more

Food was absolutely fantastic. I got the scallops and they were killer. There are tons of people working so our waters were always full and the food came out fast. The restaurant gets a little busy during peak times and I don't think you can put in a reservation, so plan to wait for a bit. It's very beachy inside with lots of different seating options both inside and out. read more

I was disappointed in my pasta which was recommended by the host. The seafood pasta had 3 shrimps, some other crab meat, and was water down. The bar tender was attentive. Overall the place is a vibe, but the food is overpriced. read more

Amazing food and service! You can always expect properties under the Starboard brand to be solid, and a visit to at least one can't be missed if you find yourself in Dewey. I'm shocked that Claw only has a handful of Yelp reviews! The space is VERY large, so if you roll up without a reservation it's not hard to snag a table. The menu is huge and very seafood heavy. We absolutely loved the creamy seafood pasta - rigatoni in cream sauce topped with tons of shrimp, crab meat and scallops. I also tried the Thai chili shrimp and cesar salad, both delish. It's a bit tough with a picky kid - the kids menu is small and on the healthier side (grilled chicken, salmon, etc). Luckily the regular menu is big enough that you can piece things together. My 3 year old actually loved the sweet corn and my 1 year old was a big fan of the beef and potato soup on special. There are lots of bar and grill vibe places in Dewey that are greasy and not high quality. This is a spot to add to your list for a wonderful seafood dinner. read more

We had a great meal here tonight. The place has an upscale feel & the food was very good. We started by sharing an order of ahi tuna. It was good & properly prepared. For my entree, I had snow crab legs & they were very good. For his entree, my husband had steamed jumbo shrimp that he peeled. I tried them & they were excellent. We also shared an order of corn on the cob they was delicious. read more

If I could rate this any higher than 5 stars I would. This was a great experience! Our server was Lauren and she was amazing and so sweet! For drinks I had the watermelon crush and the Clawtini (their version of an espresso martini). The clawtini is on draft and it was deff a stronger martini but very good. The watermelon crush was refreshing and so good. Now for the food.. we split birra tacos and the happy hour mozzarella log ($7) for apps and both were amazing! The cheese pull of that log was one for the books. Then for dinner we each had a pound of snow crab legs ($40) and the Delaware corn dodgers, which were like corn nuggets or hush puppies. I'll say that snow crab legs are my favorite food and I've had them in many places. Starboard Claw was hands down the best crab legs I have ever had. They were pre-cracked, the meat was so juicy and lots of big pieces. I will think about these crab legs for many months to come. I know Delaware is known for the blue crabs, but don't sleep on the snow crab legs! The ONLY thing that I didn't love was the amount of flies everywhere but I know that's something they can't control. read more

Went for the stellar happy hour that runs 12-6 on Saturday and Sunday. $5 food options with generous portions. We had wings and shrimp. All were served quickly and tasted great. Shrimp came sprinkled with Old Bay and included cocktail sauce. Wings were chili rubbed with brown sugar. Nice and crispy with a good balance of flavors. Service was spot on too. We sat at the bar which was bright and sunny and opened to the street. One of our favorite spots during our quick visit to Dewey Beach. read more

Great seafood options and the food is delicious. Also, the specialty cocktails are very good

Called for takeout. Phone prompts took me to take out option. worker said they aren't doing take out.... In the middle of peak season never go to this dying restaurant read more

Excellent service and the food came out fast. Very well run business with plenty of TVs for sports and super casual atmosphere. We had burgers which were very good and a salad with salmon which was excellent. Beer selection was acceptable. I would definitely return. Parking almost non-existent so that could be something that limits our ability to revisit. read more

I like the location and the food is ok, but the upstairs deck looks right out onto power lineS! Crab cakes were not the best so I would not order those ( go to Woodys). Bar scene is pretty good but older read more

One of my favorite spots on Dewey. I can't say much about the food but the rooftop ambiance and orange crushes are 10/10. Service is attentive and kind. I visited Thursday and Sunday evening at sunset but never struggled to find seating upstai read more

I visited twice in one day on Labor Day Saturday. After the beach, we stopped in for an espresso martini and a few beers. The martini was top notch once again. The bar is nice and the bartenders are friendly. In the evening we stopped back again to watch some football upstairs and drink more espresso martinis!! We did order the mozzarella log. It was two giant crunchy logs. They were hot, heavy and delicious with a bit of a spicy kick. read more

Starboard Claw - a glass of beer on a bar - Seafood Near Me - Dewey Beach, Delaware

Went here Friday of Memorial Day Weekend for happy hour. On the door of the establishment it indicated happy hour 4pm-6pm, in addition to their website, facebook and instagram. There was no indication happy hour did not apply to this day. We received our bill and were told there was no happy hour this weekend. The bartender said "I don't know what to tell you." I have never been to a restaurant that false advertises as much as this place. It is so unfortunate as a local that wants to support local business, but I will not be back again nor will I suggest this place to friends for this exact reason. Be better Starboard. read more

Very delicious! Friendly quick service as well. The upstairs outdoor area is first come first serve and we had no problem finding a spot. The shrimp were HUGE and the garlic sauce was good. The tuna & scallop meatballs were interesting but still very good, they just need some spice. We will be back read more

The food was fine, not special. We ordered the scallops and mahi mahi. Portions were small. 4 medium scallops for $38. The fish potion was also small. $80 with tip with no alcohol and we left hungry. read more

I am very disappointed with the meal. We got the "lunch" menu and paid double for the crab dip & crab cake sandwich for 1/2 the amount compared to the other local restaurant. The crab cake was described as lump and was shredded with pieces of shells in it. We won't be back to any of their restaurants. read more

Favorite restaurant around the area! Great service, great food, great drinks, and great times. Always very consistent

Visited twice was vacationing in Dewey Beach with my family. Our first experience was exceptional- the service was above and beyond, the food was killer (steam pot, shrimp, mussels, wings and a couple of sandwiches. Cocktails were great. We like it all so much that we went back a second time. This experience was not great. They seated us outside on the lower level at a table that it seemed no one knew who was to wait on it. The food seemed rushed, service was inconsistent at best and we very much felt rushed. Anyone can have a bad night- the good outweighed the bad. read more

Awesome staff. Great food. The music was good. The steam pot was great and those crab fries were pretty amazing read more

But the portions are tiny. The Mahi Mahi doesnt come with any sides; everything listed was basically a garnish. Shrimp and grits was very good, but I could have eaten 2, easily. There should be asterics noting theres no sides or something. Food was good, but not good enough to make ups for this. read more

Went to The Claw for a late lunch and enjoyed items from the happy hour menu. We always enjoy Starboard family restaurants as the food and drinks are always consistent. We had the mozzarella logs, calamari and clams, crab fries and the birria nachos, everything excellent. The restaurant was spotless as they clearly take pride in cleanliness the only area of improvement could be service it was non existent especially for it being very quiet. Regardless of the poor service we will be back for the food and drinks!! read more

The food here was amazing, as was the wait staff. I had a roasted zucchini and shrimp bisque that I have raved about for days. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food and they were very accommodating with some special request drinks. I was surprised it was not busier on a Saturday night. I will definitely go back next time I'm in the area. read more

Great service. Awesome rockfish entree. Great cucumber jalapeño margarita. Awesome outdoor bar. Will be great for football season.

Friendly staff, nice layout, sadly our food wasn't good. The fish special was so overcooked and hard that I needed a steak knife to cut it. Everything was extremely salted including the hangar steak. The burger had an odd taste - am assuming a lot of onion powder or something. My friends love this place for crabs so maybe that's the way to go. In the future I'd probably just come here for a drink. read more

Omg the shrimp and grits are good enough to slap your momma. Seriously so good. Will be back just for that dish

The food was really good. Nikki is the best/Goat, give her a raise. SHES SO NICE. #weloveNikki
