"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."

    Everything great! The food was one time, the waitress did an awesome job juggling between four tables at a time and making sure everyone had what they needed. Please praise her! I believe her name was Trice! I’m most definitely coming back!

    Had a great birthday dinner experience here at King Claw. Food and service were top-notch. Music wasn't our taste and was a bit loud, but other than that, no complaints. Delicious seafood (especially the crab legs!) at a reasonable price.

    First-timers at King Claw to celebrate a birthday and everyone enjoyed the food and the service! Robin, our server, was fantastic! The food was very good, and we all had leftovers to enjoy the next day! We'll definitely be back!
