"King Claw is inspired by the low country, viet-cajun style of boil-in-a-bag seafood that retains all the juicy flavor combinations of the sea. We then add our own unique blend of spices to seal the deal. You won’t find our flavor combination anywhere else. We prepare our seafood fresh to order and encourage our patrons to get their hands dirty with our signature seafood combinations. We firmly believe in bonding over great food and drinks with family and friends, and what better way than to dig right in with your hands? Come open up a bag, where the juiciness awaits you."

    10/10. We loved the vibe. There were groups there celebrating birthdays and they had a good time. I personally love we people are allowed to celebrate and be celebrated. The food was stellar and plentiful. Robin was our waitress and she was AMAZING. We enjoyed our time there. My son who has autism even enjoyed it and he doesn't do noise. Iykyk. Absolutely recommend. Kens and Karens stay home dont ruin the vibe for others. Eat food and be merry.

    Food was really good and extremely fast. We came on a Saturday night which would typically seem super busy but it wasn't bad at all. The food was excellent and 9ur waitress was so friendly and kind and very attentive even though she had a huge party by us. She was on it! The place was clean and the kids had a decent menu to choose from too. We would definitely go back.

    Don’t bother. Overpriced King crab @ market price. So you have no idea the cost. 3 small potatoes and a mush piece of corn. The server was good.
