Customer Reviews
This place deserves 10/10 stars! First of all it was customer appreciation day today and the staff circulated the restaurant with an array of appetizers from the menu. I was able to taste the stuffed mushrooms, Mac bites, shrimp scampi flatbread, meatballs, mozzarella sticks, and some pig in a blankets! Amazing! There was a raffle and the food was simple delicious. Our waitress Jackie was a superstar! Super friendly and made great recommendations.
We've always thought of this place as you classic broiled seafood plate kinda place where they sit you way in the back of the dining room, but we've recently been sitting at the bar and ordering smaller plates and drinks and really enjoying it. All of the servers were great tonight and we loved the shishito peppers, wedge salad and tuna nachos. Drinks were good too. Of course we'll only go in the off season, but I'm glad it's in our rotation.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a wonderful experience at The Crab Claw Inn tonight! From start to finish, everything was fantastic. Our server, Sharon, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The hostess, Martha, gave us such a warm welcome and set the tone for a great evening. On top of that, we were lucky enough to enjoy live music from a very talented and kind lady singing with her guitar—it made the atmosphere feel so special and cozy. We ordered a variety of seafood dishes, and every single one was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the quality. Between the delicious food, friendly staff, and charming live music, The Crab Claw Inn is truly a gem. We left full, happy, and already looking forward to our next visit!
Appetizer mussels were excellent. The white sauce they were in was very flavorful with garlic and butter. The combination seafood platter was very delicious as well. The lobster tail was very tender.
10/10 for everything! The service was great; they accommodated our party of 12 with no problem. Drinks were strong and delicious, and the food was fantastic. I recommend the blackened filet mignon bites and the burrata salad with blackened chicken...so good!
