What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Red Claws Crab Shack is a popular spot for its flavorful and well-seasoned seafood boils, with many praising the generous portions and unique sauce options. However, some diners have experienced inconsistencies in food quality, particularly with takeout orders, and some find the service to be lacking.

"It was my first time visiting here and I can't wait to go back! I went on a Monday evening and it wasn't busy, and our food came out under 10 minutes. We all enjoyed it, and I highly recommend the garlic noodles and catfish basket. Service was great as well."

"I had this place/location twice.. delicious! But today I decided to do takeout.. worst thing ever! And a waste of 123$. Shrimps was filled with poop and very mushy.. sauce was watery no flavor at all. Corn was not no where near fresh or just recently cooked.. the potatoes wasn’t even the size of my palm. And the sausage was only a half of a half of a half of a piece and called it “ 2 sausages “.. sad to say we had to throw 2/3 of the bag in the trash.. hate to say but I will not be back.. do better smh"
Leonna Duncan
"This place is reasonably priced, well, seasoned, close to me, and the vibes are simply unmatched. That fish was straight from the fry! when I brought it home and put it in the fridge it was still hot about 20 min later (after refrigeration) this is definitely a place I would order delivery from. The raw oysters were HUGE and had I known how big they were I would’ve only gotten a half dozen but it was a gift honestly and truly. Will come back!"
