Great local spot. Quality food and huge menu. Never been to a seafood place like this and it was cool. The tables are set up great. Parking lot is small and gets full.
Checked out Blue Claw today and enjoyed it. The service was very prompt and the food came out very fast. We ordered seafood by the pound and the snow crab shrimp combo. For appetizers, we tried the fried oysters and shrimp stuffed deviled eggs. All the food was comforting and cooked very well. The spot overall was cozy and perfect for a cold day when you're craving seafood.
Is 6 stars available? The food was a pure 11/10 I would of eaten more if I had a bigger stomach. This little spot had the best service you could imagine. Service everywhere you looked, you wanted for nothing. THIS WAS THE FIRST VENUE IVE BEEN TO THAT WAS BYOB, I ran to the liquor store in the middle of my order just to grab some wine. I'm coming back to this place every time i come TDY to JBLM.
After eating at blue claw, you will never want to try another seafood restaurant again. The freshness, quality, and flavor are unmatched. In a world of mediocre seafood boils, blue claw sticks tried and true to the classic garlic butter steamed seafood!!! The crab legs and blue crabs are a MUST of course. Aside from the main event, you have to try the buffalo shrimp, it is my favorite for sure. I always try to taste something different when I come because the food here is just amazing!!! And has been consistently for YEARS! Love blue claw down.
I wanted some seafood so bad and been seeing ads and videos of this place. So in a random Saturday I drove over to NJ and pigged out! I got the steamed shrimp, black mussels, red bless potatoes, crawfish, linguine noodles with red sauce and of course blue claw crabs. Lord!!! I'm so glad I wore sweat pants because I sat there and ate until I was completely full. It was a dream. Everything was good. I was hair that the shrimp were cooked perfectly. The crabs were so juicy and spicy! Lord, I think I may have to drive back this weekend for round two!
We had crab cake appetizer & hush puppies both were good. My husband had the shrimp basket with fries. I had 6 medium $7 blue crabs in garlic butter & oldbay and they were great. Very meaty and tender just like a fresh blue crab should be.
First off, I would like to say the food was amazing. It came out hot. It was so flavorful and we got a nice amount. We could have shared if we wanted to. The service was great even though it was just two of us. We did not have reservations so when we came in. We had to put our name on the list and it was about 30 minutes before we were called and seated which was not bad. I do recommend calling ahead of arrival so you will not have a wait. They do not serve alcohol, but it is BYOB so we did bring a bottle of wine to drink to have along with our dinner. They do offer juice, so we did order a lemonade as well. It is a family friendly restaurant even though I did not see any kids in there that night. It's a small place, so it's kinda intimate but it's very relaxed. Staff was friendly and food came out fast. Definitely recommend this place if your seafood lover.
Portions are very large and the seafood is good. It's not a big place, so was packed on a warm Sunday night. I'd hoped for a lobster, but they were too small to make the effort worth it. The menu has lots of choices though. I got the Buffalo Garlic Scallops, Clam Chowder and a Garden Salad. They made an error on the scallops and brought them out fried, instead of sautéed as I asked, so had to redo them. I've never seen scallops fried before, so I thought that was a bit odd. They were pretty good, a little on the spicy side. The clam chowder was really luscious and delicious. It really was excellent, and my favorite thing. They make sure they don't need to come back to refill your glass, so the ice tea we received was a mammoth sized glass! I got the unsweetened, and, sorry to say I've had much better. Perhaps the sweet tea is better than the unsweetened. My friend got crabcakes, and I have to say that they were really excellent. I'd probably get those next time. I had dinner entrée envy. LOL! After all that, there was no room for dessert. There were lots of happy faces at the tables around the place. It seems that hard shell crabs were a big favorite.
