MY WORST EXPERIENCE HERE TODAY. They literally did not have half of the menu. No crabs no crawfish no pico for my oysters. Only ate mussels and it still came high.

They always never have crawfish I’m sick of this place.
Plus service sucked

The overall experience, I’d say it was pretty mediocre. To start off the security at the front desk was very helpful and accommodating to our needs since we had some religious dietary needs that needed to be fulfilled. However, once you receded, the service went out the door our waitress didn’t care about the accommodations that we needed in addition to that was just eager to get the order done with. I feel like a lot of our questions weren’t answered accordingly and a lot of it was rushed. At the service been great. I wouldn’t have mind paying the 20% gratuity that was already prorated into the bill. However, there are a lot of discrepancies I had and I rate this overall 2.5 experience out of 5!

You have to really like this type of food to go here. The drinks were strong with bottom shelf alcohol and the service was terrible

Starting from when we walked in we weren’t greeted but instead drilled with protocol by a man with dreads about the entire group needing to be there even after telling him our friend is down the block walking up. He kept making sure we understood we only had 90 mins when we sit down and then we would have to leave. So much so that I put a timer on my phone so that we could eat at a consistent pace and not have our food and us thrown out. After the pressure was off and my personal alarm was set we were ready to eat. The young lady helping us came and was very polite and quick with getting our orders taken. I will say the food, like the craw boils, oysters and sandwiches we received were tasty. They didn’t have any alligator or craw po boys at the time we went. The drink I received “Blush” was strong and tasted really good, the “Mardi Gras” drink the rest of my table received wasn’t as strong but still good. All in all I think the first impression was off and colored the rest of the experience but the service, food and subtle acknowledgement of my birthday made up for a lot.

Been coming for years, and it's always a great time. My only complaint is that the char broiled Oysters didn't taste the same. If the recipe was changed... change it back!!

Brought out the wrong meal and the crab didn’t taste very good. We all thought the soda products also tasted off. I liked the brussel sprouts, but you can get those anywhere and it’s not why you come to a seafood restaurant.

Full menu was available. Server Veronika was rushing us to order despite only 4 tables present. Happy hour was misleading. Oysters was good. Gator bites were a bit dry. The $1 wings were PER wing and not PER order (other places I've been, $1 wings are usually 4 wings). And you couldn't get any flavor. Just regular. The Dungeness Crab was $72. No crawfish (server told me it was seasonal but I just had Crawfish seafood boil in NJ last week and they were fresh).

This used to be my go to in LES. not anymore. I went next door to Blue Ribbon for sushi.

Made a reservation on Resy for christmas day. Travelled for almost an hour, only for it to be closed. Management should disable Resy if they’re gonna be closed.

Drinks while waiting:
- Just a Dream: sweet and yummy
- Blush Mocktail: sour and yummy

Appetizers:
- Dollar wings: hot and crispy.
- NE clam chowder: hide and seek of clams.

Mains:
- Claw boil (medium): mussels were clammed shut. Good mix of snow crab legs, shrimps, potatoes, and corn cobs.
- Lobster & shrimp boil (water & butter): one good sized lobster and a bucket load of shrimps
- Gator Po'boy: so little gator meat, but it was well fried. The bread and the pickles were good, though.

Pretty much on the money for what the restaurant offers. Worth a visit if you crave new orleans style seafood boil. I reserved for Thursday night, but it wasn't necessary as most of the restaurant was empty around 6-7pm.

There was open availability for Thanksgiving so i was excited to book. This is one of my favorite seafood restaurants in Ny. The day of i got a text message asking if i was still coming and i replied 1 (for yes) and i received a response back (great, done thanks). 30 minutes prior to the reservation time i received another text stating i was due at claw daddys in 30minutes. I arrive to Claw Daddys and to my surprise it is CLOSED. I can't express the rage that came over my body. The embarrassment to have to tell my mother we now have to find an alternative! Knowing it's Thanksgiving and everything is booked. Thanksgiving was ruined due to your incompetence. I have never experienced anything like this. Normally resy is reliable so i know that it was your team who did not inform them to block out your reservations for the day. I say that because i went back to look and google also said you were open (i have screen shots). It's honestly really disappointing that management let this slide. I look forward to their response.

Claw Daddy’s has a very nice atmosphere. They have a variety of foods and drinks to select from for happy hour. Prices are great. Try their Lemonade, I really enjoyed it!

The place changed first off the lights was dim to the point I can barely see the menu . Idk if hands changed in ownership but the food is falling off before Covid this was the place the bar was always jumping both sides the vibe had it packed the place had up and down stairs booked up , there was waiters both men and women not just all Spanish men 2 of them barely spoke English which is fine but not when serving food . The front desk use to have lively young people meet and greet walk u to your table not a man dressed in all black basically security. It’s horrible now the place is not what it use to be the food changed to . I will never go back never. Trying to save money cutting the best part of the vibe is dumb. The music that played the whole time there was drakes playlist . There use to be an African American bartender women that had the vibe at the bar bomb. Packed at the bar was packed she knew how to pack a bar she was great . The servers was great to. Come check on you and very attentive . Now it feel like a factory at work. I won’t be spending my money here anymore . Horrible dinner night . Horrible vibe . COVID IS OVER BRING BACK THE REAL CLAWDADDY.

Energetic crowd and fun music with a DJ, because there was a large table celebrating a birthday. The Cajun seafood mix came in a boiling pot. The fries complimented the spicyness well.
