I've had a lot of shrimp and grits in a lot of places. This was the best I've ever had. The cream sauce made the dish. The shrimp was fresh and the andouille was nice and spicy.

Stopped in for a beer and a snack during happy hour. The steamed shrimp were perfectly cooked and the sauteed calamari & clams came in a spicy red sauce that was delicious.

We had a wonderful dinner with family. We came in from PA to enjoy Dewey Beach for the weekend. It was so nice and clean. Service was wonderful!

Ordered steamed crabs on 8/9. They sold me a dozen light crabs instead of regular crabs… and they were mushy. Never order crabs at a watering hole. Will never be back.

Sat on the second floor patio and the sunset views of the strip did not disappoint! Everything was fabulous, from the calamari to the coffee rubbed skirt steak. Star of the show was the crab dip, which went too fast to take a photo of!

Very lovely sitting out on the roof patio. Our waitress was very attentive and service was fast. The wings and Caesar salad were decent. The entree we had was the grilled mahi mahi which was excellent and unique. Overall would recommend!!!

Good was just ok and service was less than ideal. Not all tables were occupied and took effort to get the waitress to come over.

We came in excited to enjoy some coastal favorites and ordered the crab dip, Maryland crab, white wine mussels, crab fries, and grilled chicken for the kids. Unfortunately, most of the experience fell short—except for one pleasant surprise.

The grilled chicken for my 2-year-old was the best part of the meal. It was flavorful, well-cooked, and thoughtfully prepared. Everything else, though, missed the mark.

The crab dip, mussels, and crab fries felt like a heavy blend of sour cream and cheese with no seasoning or balance. The mussels in white wine lacked depth and were surprisingly bland—disappointing for someone who genuinely enjoys mussels. The crab fries were underwhelming, with the crab feeling more like a garnish than a main feature.

The price was steep for what was served. I’d like to think maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but after trying several items, I can’t justify a return visit.

Blonde hair, Blue eyes Host on July 27th at 1:00pm - the worst. Needs to be retrained or fired. Didn’t even get to eat the food because she never put my order in.

Well i finally made it to the wonderful highly rated Starboard Claw for happy hour. The hype is very true and a beautiful place was only the start. Ive had dinner there before and it was delicious. We had the steak, pasta seafood, and a deli burger. Myself and several friends went for happy hour. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The manager was fantastic and even though he is my son he treats everyone special. We had great appetizers and drinks. The food was fresh and delicious and very reasonably priced. I dont go to Dewey that often but now I will be going alot more. If your looking for atmosphere delicious family friendly fun place you have got to try it.
