12 OZ. blackened Sirloin. Cooked med/ med rare! Some say that's not a temp. But The Claw Cooks It Perfectly!
Emmie RamsdenSeptember 7, 2017Buffalo wings, scallops Saint Jacques, apple crisp, cocktails, homemade salad dressings.
- Join the 99 Beer Club. It makes every visit part of a challenge.
Michael WhiteFebruary 5, 2015Crabs Claw, dinner was so so, seafood Fra Dialovo was over cooked and too much onion!
E.RodJuly 8, 2013Meh...overpriced, mediocre food. The only thing going for this place is the large beer selection.
Jesse IaquilinoApril 9, 2011Good food but hold onto your server so they take your entire order, not just half of it.- Erica DisharoonNovember 2, 2014The lobster bisque was very good and try the seafood crabpot. Much better than any Joe's Crab Shack! Jon H. was our server and he was very nice and always available.
- Matty OJuly 7, 2016Buffalo calamari, stuffed mushrooms. All the apps and dinners are delish. Great staff and lively atmosphere.
- Alexis MimsJuly 31, 2017Don't even leave a tip. Manager sucks and is rude to customers. Food is beyond average for fucking horrible service

"Food is decent but they need to work on their time management skills. If they say take out is a 30 minute wait, it's usually way way more."
