About King Claw - Juicy Seafood & Bar

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... More

Usually I’m a fan of this place, but I won’t be returning. I ordered a to-go captain boil bag and came home to inadequate food. I barely got shrimp in my bag and some of them were mushy when I went to bite in them. My crab legs and shrimp had black marks on them, making it look unappealing to eat. And the crab legs were very salty. I called to speak with the manager and he told me that he cannot give me a refund because I didn’t check my bag and apparently there’s a sign with this rule on it. But how am I suppose to know the taste/quality of my food? Am I suppose to open my bag up right then and there? I understand if you had regular fried foods in a tray but this is seafood doused with sauce in a bag? I would expect for the kitchen to give you their best food. I drove all the way home in

I was in the mood for some good seafood and this was the place to quench that craving. We were met with smiley faces and warm welcome. We were seated right away and our waitress was friendly and super accommodating. The shrimp tacos are a must try and I highly recommend the bayou broil. It was so delicious. This is a great seafood spot.

A Flavor-Packed First Seafood Boil Experience! 🦐🦀🦞 This was my very first time trying a seafood boil, and wow, King Claw Juicy Seafood & Bar absolutely delivered! The sauce was rich and flavorful, perfectly complementing the seafood, which was cooked to perfection (and trust me, I’m picky when it comes to seafood!). Every bite was seasoned just right, making it a truly memorable meal. We finished off with cheesecake and fresh beignets…both were devoured down to the last crumb. Sweet, indulgent, and the perfect ending. Service was top-notch. Robyn our server was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The restaurant itself is spotless and well-maintained, which added to the overall great vibe. We were so caught up in enjoying the food that I forgot to snap any pi

Robyn was the BEST server we have experienced since being in Charleston. She was funny, friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled. The food was exceptional and better than expected. Definitely would recommend. I got an order of friend calamari for appetizer, then I got the captains boil, my girlfriend got the bayou boil, and our friend got the king claw boil, plus some banging drinks!!

Visited here for a family dinner and again for Friendsgiving; amazing experience! Trice was our server both times and is always personable, attentive, and gives great recommendations on the menu. As someone who is plant based I was excited to see the Cajun edamame, and it quickly became a table favorite once I shared. It's a great deal at only $5! Highly recommend and will definitely be back.
