Food is delicious at reasonable price, staffs are nice! Only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is, the restroom. It needs to be kept clean, it was very messy and I saw the roach in the corner. Since it is summer time and we see bugs everywhere but restaurants need to be extra clean. That's all. read more

We ordered combo 3 and added an extra lobster tail for $15. We pulled a lobster tail outta the bag and it was just the shell. The actual lobster meat was MIA. We let the server know and she brought us another one. We chose a double serving of shrimp and one serving of mussels. It's an extra $3 a pound for peeled shrimp. We chose Mild w/Garlic butter seasoning. The seafood was good but the seasoning was too salty for me. Since my friends loved it. 4 stars The fried calamari appetizer was good but was a tad over fried. 3.5 stars [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a casual atmosphere but I'm not a big fan of tea or soda served in a wax paper cup when you spend $130 on lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was mediocre as there were only two servers and ours didn't even refill our drinks and went totally blank and forgot I had asked for one. 2 stars read more

I'm convinced that anyone giving The Blazin' Craw five stars has never had truly good Cajun seafood. I am okay people giving this place 3 stars and that's being generous, but based on my experience, I want to give a ZERO star. My wife and I ordered Combo #2 with king crab, shrimp, and crawfish. The king crab was an extra $25, which I was fine with, until it arrived overcooked to death. Same story with the shrimp and crawfish. On top of that, there was barely any Cajun sauce, which made already dry seafood even worse. When you're paying this much, rubbery seafood is unacceptable. The sauce was another disappointment. Cajun seafood lives and dies by its sauce, and this one was mediocre at best. They were bland, forgettable, and lacking depth. Nothing bold, nothing crave-worthy. Sides somehow managed to be worse: Garlic bread was so overcooked it was basically a seasoned crouton. Rice tasted like it was 2-3 days old--dry, hard, and unpleasant. I've worked in kitchens before, and I know day-old rice is normal, but this was far past acceptable. Service didn't help the situation at all. Not once did anyone come by to check on us or see if we needed anything. No refills, no follow-up, nothing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And then there's the restroom, which honestly sealed the deal. Disgusting. No soap, filthy conditions, and graffiti everywhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I literally had to rinse my hands with water and hope for the best. If this is how they treat the restroom, it makes you seriously question what's happening in the kitchen. (I personally did not see the health grade posted, but many other Yelpers mention that this restaurant has a B grade and based on what I experienced--especially the restroom--that wouldn't surprise me). Bottom line: overcooked seafood, bland sauce, stale sides, nonexistent service, and unsanitary restroom. read more

Absolutely worth every dollar you pay. The service was fast and the food was amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean even for how busy it was.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the lobster with the pick two items, we chose the shrimp and mussels and let me tell you! The mussels were delicious with the perfect medium sauce. We poured everything on the paper placemat and got to work and no gloves needed.

The Blazin' Claw - confirmation text - Seafood Near Me - Redlands, California

The food at Blazing Crab is very good, which is why we keep coming back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But the cleanliness of the restrooms is a recurring problem. This isn't the first time they've been dirty, and today--right at opening--they were still not clean, which is unacceptable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I asked to speak to a manager, I was told they wouldn't be in until 1:00, but another employee 2 min later said they could get one. That inconsistency was frustrating. I didn't make a big issue out of it, but this is something management seriously needs to address.

Super delicious food. I really wanted to go to a seafood boil on my birthday and it didn't disappoint. It's a pretty busy place. Once you get there you can get yourself on the waitlist. It goes by pretty fast, we were like number 22 as a party of 4. We just went next door to have some drinks. We got our text that we were next and everything was great from there. Fast service and food came out quickly. I'm iffy about seafood boils cause I don't like boils that are sweet. The flavor of the seafood boil here reminds me of the boiling crab but more saucier with butter. Only downfall of this place there is only two bathrooms. One per each sex. It can be bit of a wait and to even just wash your hands. They need a hand washing station if anything. Other than that, easy 4/5. read more

Experience was horrible, we have been coming to this place for years and never dealt with a rude waiter. Our waiter, Ashley, was rude when we had sat down after she had already arranged our seats. She said for future reference wait to be seated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mind you this a little bit after they had just opened with maybe 2-3 parties and plenty of available tables for incoming parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She made myself and my party feel unwelcome. Even after this conversation she proceeded to ignore us and avoided taking our order. I would recommend the owners to do a quality control on their employees. read more

Loved it! Service was great. Food was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience was great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be returning.

I'll start off by saying we had a very nice waitress but I totally missed the B-GRADE posted on the door for "minor and major violations" that's a no-no for me when it comes to seafood (typically) but I will the king crab was awesome in the blazin sauce... everything else was absolutely meh at best.

The parking SUCKS!!! Placed an order an hour and a half early! Today is my birthday and I was craving some seafood boil. So my son and I went in to pick up our order and the girl cutting butcher paper was rude and not very friendly! She said our order wasn't ready because they didn't have crawfish and if I wanted to substitute it for anything else (NO!). No one at this place called me when it clearly gives you the option to "CALL ME" if something isn't available. No one called. Now we had to wait another 10minutes for them to put it together. Mind you, we got there early and still had to wait! I will never come here again. Spent $120 for our order and the girl walks out with a small bag. It obviously felt light and I knew they messed with our order! What a joke! We will NOT be returning!!!! read more

This was my first time trying The Blazin Claw, as well as sea food boil. I personally think it was good. I ordered the 1lb of headless shrimp with blazing sauce and no spice. The flavors were good and it was a great experience overall. The waitress was very nice and helped us out with the menu for our first time. I recommend trying this place especially with friends and family. I didn't give it a 5 because I'm not a big sea food person but for those who enjoy sea food, this place is a great place to try. read more

This was just what I wanted for a Friday take out! The place was full, so we ordered our food to go. Combo #2 was good for 2 adults and a kid. You can tell that their food is fresh and very well seasoned! The take out comes in a bag with a wax paper to use for your food. Loved the easy-peasy cleanup! I cant attest for the cleanliness of the place but the service I received was good and pleasant. The family says that they'd gladly order food here again Thank you! read more

Waaaaay too messy for me. Red sauce all over the table and my clothes. Food smothered in sauce. My hands totally covered in sauce Naw, Just too much for me. Not a fan. Plus the wait was forever, like 2 hours. I love a good crab boil and in Texas it's a pretty common meal. This place ain't that. read more

Bit into an extremely hard " peice of muscle " looked like straight up hard plastic said that its all mixed in one pot makes no sense because i orderd only shrimp it could have tore my entire throat up never coming back read more

Came to visit family from Texas, and they brought me here to eat. The food was fantastic but the service was even better. Before you ask for food you should ask for Ashley O. She was kind,funny and charismatic, and knows how to roll with jokes. The food plus her you won't regret it,on baby Jesus. read more

Use to love this place but I feel like lately they stop caring about customer service. Food took way longer then originally told and this nasty potato was put in out sea food bag. read more

Always excellent food at Blazin Claw! When it gets busy here, it gets busy. If you're coming during rush hour, expect to wait. Is the wait worth it? Always is! Can always pick up and bring it home to avoid the lengthy wait time, which is what we tend to do often. Wonderful service, friendly staff, family fun environment, clean and maintained, and delicious sauces to go with your bags of seafood every single time. Seafood lover? Highly recommended to try Blazin Claw, especially this location, and open up those taste buds to a blazin sauce (extra garlic) adventure! Since our family of 5-6 tends to chow down, we typically go for the Blazin Combo #3 so we can get 3 pounds of shrimp on top of the 1.5-2 lbs snow crab. Baste it in the Blazin Sauce, mild spice, and extra garlic... mmm!! Still hungry? Just a pound or two of shrimp. We tend to like the motions of digging into the shrimp and savoring all the soaked sauces, so we stick to normal shrimp (other options can be headless or naked shrimp). Familiar with Blazin Claw, Crab, and other similar spots? You already know what's up. Unfamiliar with these types of food chains? You MUST try it. Blazin Claw in Redlands doesn't disappoint and will satisfy the craving you never thought you had. Simply delicious! read more

Took my father-in-law here for his 87th birthday. His favorite? King Crab. Two and a half hours later, he was violently ill -- the sickest I've ever seen him in nearly a decade of birthdays. When we reached out, their response? No hospital visit, no refund. Not even a single question about what he ate. Apparently, food poisoning is fine as long as you don't rack up an ER bill -- and they're clearly not concerned with preventing this from happening to someone else. Let me be clear: I'm not here angling for a comped meal. But paying $79 for a plate of misery and indifference? I'd at least expect some accountability. Instead, we got shrugged off. The service? Spotty and disengaged -- about what you'd expect from a place that doesn't care what happens after you leave. The only thing keeping this from being a one-star disaster were the scallops my wife and I shared, which were passable. Not great. Just... edible. We won't be back. read more

Bad service. Said they were supposedly closed for dine in but seated there family member. Ignored us while we were waiting to get seated . We had to call to get an answer they are closed but tables are set up. Don't go here terrible service. read more

Spur of the moment trip but what a great find. Walking in, not the most friendly greeting from staff but they sat us down right away. It helps that we stopped by on a weekday, before 4pm, so we got some happy hour items. They've got combos you can select from or you can follow the step by step process: 1) pick seafood, 2) pick seasoning, 3) spice level, 4) add extras. We got shrimp and mussels in our bags, they were properly cooked and the flavor was delicious. I appreciated not getting heart burn later in the day, like I have at other kasian restaurants. I underestimated the size of the blazin claw combo so we had leftovers. Super satisfied with the food (we got lemon pepper fries and rice too). The waitress who checked on our table seemed over the job, but luckily we didn't have to ask for much while eating. Lots of decor inside and large tables that could comfortably sit 6, if you're going as a group. They've also got several tvs which featured different games. If you come in person, you'll appreciate that plenty of napkins are provided, you can get a bit, gloves to wear, salt, and lemon. It eventially started fillfilling up around 5. We did sit around thirsty for a bit. After 10 minutes of trying to get someone's attention, we just went up to the front counter so we could pay our check and finally leave. read more

I usually order my cajun shrimp boils from Kickin Crab or Boiling Crab, but they are a bit further away. Thankfully this spot is much closer and hits my craving. Service here is great. Polite staff and attentive service. The restroom can get really messy and gross, depending on the time you go. Earlier dining time before dinner means toilets are much cleaner. I've dined in and picked up to-go many times. While I love dining in so I don't have to cleanup, they make it easy to also eat at home by packing butcher paper, bibs, and lots of napkins! The last couple times we ordered to-go, the flavor was on point but 1/4 of the shrimp was overcooked (mushy). Despite that, the shrimp boil was still tasty. read more

Food was delicious. service was mid. I ordered a peach margarita and they game me a regular one.( I just took my losses and drank it.) I had my food to go and they gave me everything cold which was odd since I had to wait 15min for it. I asked for butter on the side and it was cold and I paid $2 for it. They didn't add any utensils to my bag. They also didn't give the usual lime and salt with pepper. read more

The food is always excellent here my server ROSIE was excellent tonight!!....but the young lady that tried to help her was rude had an awful attitude she brought some food to my table a slide it walked away never asked if we needed any condiments and as I tried getting her attention to ask who they belong to cause we sat at the bar she snapped back and was making snarky remarks and faces (saying well you ordered it right than it's yours) I told her she didn't have to be rude and laughed walked away and proceeded to engage about it with associates and point fingers and laughed... I've worked in restaurant business for year's this is so unprofessional and than talking to other associates and laughing and still making faces and making smart remarks we love coming here but it's not the first time we've had her and her attitude we would still love to come here as long as she ain't scheduled to serve me and my family read more

Restaurant had B GRADE. We didn't see until we left the building it's posted outside of the door if we noticed before we wouldn't have eaten here . Spicy combo was delicious but service was horrible . Waitresses were too busy gossiping by bar and talking had to walk up to ask for a drink and gloves then never saw them ever again during our meal . You'd think a sea food boil spot would ask if you needed condiments napkins , gloves , or even a refill maybe even more food but nope she only came to charge us and seemed annoyed I walked up to her for service . Ambiance was a little too close for comfort to be prepared to sit next to strangers if you're in a large group. Delicious but B grade ? That's a deal breaker for most , especially sea food read more

Okay. So my family has ordered from here all the time. Normally stop to grab orders on the way home back to Beaumont. Today they messed up the order so I had to come all the way back to rectify the order. I asked for an extra sauce for the inconvenience of having to come all the way back and was charged. I'm a little bothered by the situation. The food is great but today the service sucked. read more

It was busy which I understand but the food took nearly 40 minutes to come out and when it did it was room temperature at best. We paid for extra sausage and potatoes but received the normal amount of potatoes and less sausage than what is advertised that comes with the base combo. The shrimp was old and the vein was like half the shrimp. We also asked for a side of the medium sauce when we ordered, didn't get it when the food came out so we had to ask again which isn't a huge deal, but when we got it it was a apple sauce consistency and was also room temperature, the waitress was stirring it as she walked to bring it to us which was concerning. The snow crab was also empty shells most of the time and tasted like soap. When that was brought up to a manager she said that another customer had also said the same thing. read more

Hands down, this spot serves the best snow crab boil I've ever had in the area. The crab was perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. What sets them apart is the variety of flavors they offer for the boil. Whether you like it mild, spicy, or somewhere in between, there's something for everyone. I tried their signature seasoning blend, and it was chef's kiss. Every bite was a burst of savory goodness. I'll admit I haven't been to many crab spots, but this place has set the bar incredibly high. The food, the flavors, and the quality were absolutely top-notch.
