The charm of this place is endearing. The food is so delicious. We really enjoy the soups and seafood. Full service bar and live entertainment.
Great New Jersey Shore Restaurant Bar for Tourist and Locals alike. Friendly and Courteous Staff. Ownership is Active and Dedicated to the Business and Contributing in Local Events.
Happened to be in the area and stopped in for dinner. They were running a restaurant week special so I was able to try the lobster bisque, old bay pot, and bread pudding. I wasn t disappointed. Plenty of food and worth the money.
On a trip to New Jersey to see an ill friend, I stopped in to the Crab s Craw Inn for drinks and an appetizer. The place was packed on this Saturday in the middle of April. Two top tables were pushed against the bar, making patrons feel like they re actually sitting at a bar. The drinks were good, the appetizers mediocre. A dude was up on a stage singing rock songs, and playing an acoustic guitar. Wow, did I miss entertainment during the time of Covid. Crab s Craw was fine, not special, but it served its purpose.
The food was ok. Your typical bar menu. Still can't figure out why they refused to seat us out of the sun when we were the only ones at their 11 table patio. They literally said it was impossible to move 2 chairs to the table in the shade. They are very lacking in hospitality.
I went in today to purchase a gift certificate for my father. I was sorely disappointed by the service during my less than 5 minute transaction. Maureen, the hostess I presume, seemed annoyed and inconvenienced that I was there. She was huffing and puffing about everything around her. Molly, the other hostess, did not seem to be in a much better mood. The restaurant was not all that busy, at 1:00pm on a cloudy day. As a host/hostess, you are the FIRST impression of a restaurant or establishment. With many other seafood restaurants in the area, I wish that I had purchased a certificate elsewhere. I hope that my father does not have the same experience.
Classic Jersey bar with Karaoke Wednesday, decent sea food and TVs for sports. Some bartenders are better than others.
Great service. The clam chowder was as excellent as 20 years ago! Great atmosphere with tourists and locals.
Our waitress was amazing, she went above and beyond, even though she was on training.
I didn't like my food, asian tuna sandwich was plain, dry and flavoreless, couldn't eat it.
My husband liked his food. He ordered crab legs. I tried them, they were delicious.
The place is overpriced.
(Service= 5 + pricing= 1 + food=2.5)/3 =3
Awesome beer selection, great food and friendly staff make this a just visit when you come to Lavallette.
I have eaten dinner at this restaurant over the last five years three times I think it's a very good restaurant and the food was pretty good I would recommend it to a friend or anyone who's looking for a seafood restaurant down by the shore.
The food was just an "ok, overpriced, nice bar. Good place to bring the entire family.
We expected more from this restaurant
The service was very good. The food was not. My baked potato was barely warm and very dry, like it was from the day before. We both had scallops. Mine were broiled and okay. My wife's were Newberg and very sandy.
I feel a restaurant of this caliber should do much bettrr.
The best at the Jersey Shore. Food great entertainment great service great . The Crabs Claw a home away from home.
Stopped in for lunch on an unusually warm day in February...place was busy! Good service and good food. Always a fun time!
Crabs claw went way downhill. Went last night for a birthday dinner. Food was awfully, grizzly steak, horrible scampi, overcooked fish and mushy vegetables. Service was terrible. Our waitress was inattentive and careless. We were so embarrassed to have brought guests there. Never again.
Walked in and there was live music playing. One guy singing he was awesome playing great familiar music. Was seated right away and Brandon came over to take care of us very soon. The local beers on tap were excellent. The atmosphere felt relaxing and at home. We both enjoyed our Meals one with salmon the other a triple crab steam pot. Again, excellent service I would recommend this place to anyone. I will return. BTW, this is where I came to celebrate my 60th birthday after kayaking on the bay with my daughter.
First time I was ever here
Crab soup sent back.. shrimp way over cooked.
Very disappointing.
Some of the best sea food around but i wish they had different combinations because not everyone wants sausage and corn with crabs or shrimp when you get the steamer bucket and if you ask for mashed potatoes on the side instead of corn and sausage its an extra charge
They have a great curbside pick up system where you can order online. My husband was very happy with the seafood.
Food was great, and the area is nice, however, Server was pretty bad, forgot all our our salads and gave us the wrong drinks, we are good tippers so it hurt all the more when we gave 20% to some one undeserving.
Ate at the bar. Cold beers, great appetizers. Very enjoyable!
Disappointing food. After 3 hours I m still re-tasting. Low quality and high priced. One of the only games in town so waiting lines are out the door. The place itself is sweet both inside and out, but they won their reputation with a different recipe than the one they have now.
Really enjoyed my meal my son also my wife wishes there where more non seafood dishes but still enjoyed her sandwich would definitely go back
Good service, good food. Long to enter a Bar already.
Diverse menu, good selection, always friendly staff.
Always good food and a nice selection of craft beer...
Love this place . A tradition on the jersey shore. Quality food
Decent food, don't like partisan news channels on the TV's. I don't care what side of the fence they fall on.
Despite being very busy the staff managed to seat and serve ppl with a smile. Food is excellent as well.
one of the prime seafood restaurants at the shore. however they have other great selections besides seafood. no matter w JFK at your taste, all the food is outstanding and service is great.
My family went there for lunch after a memorial service for my dad who passed away. Can honestly say the food was good, I had the fish tacos, prepared well, good portions, and the service was excellent. The historic pictures were nice to look at.. Would definitely go again..
DELICIOUS! For our anniversary, we split the crab steamer pot and each got a flight of beer. Finished up with a nightcap outside. Lovely evening. Thanks Sandy and Jacob for a nice time.
Having been to the Crabs Claw twice in the last month, I ordered the same dish, the seafood provencale. This last time (Sunday night) was very disappointing. The sauce was totally different and the amount of seafood was less than the first time. This has not been the first time I haven't been pleased with this restaurant. It seems a hit-or-miss with the quality and abundance of food.
Great food, great service. Worth to drop by just for a drink or for a whole dinner night.
As always, a great place for food, friends and drinks.
Food here is so delicious. Always great atmosphere and always have live music which is very nice. The staff is nice but a little slow. The only thing that I don't understand is a small piece of cheesecake was $7 which is absolutely ridiculous. It was great cheesecake just very overprised.
Decent shore place. Sometimes good. Sometimes not so good.
Always love this place good food and friendly people
Service was great! Drinks were good. Atmosphere was cozy old school. Food was mediocre.
Always great food. Kinda bummed bout the triple crab turning into a due crab pot. But still is great
Excellent seafood. The tuna nachos and coconut shrimp tacos were delicious! Drinks are very tasty too. Would definitely come back.
Someone I know went to this restaurant. Was upset by the service so let the wait staff know who proceeded to post it on Facebook to "shame her". once I complained to their Facebook page the owner commented on my complaint saying that "no one wanted to hear my personal issues". No customer service and very rude.
We had a wonderful lunch there yesterday. The food and service was fantastic. Jessica, our waitress was great. Thanks Gary and Mary
As always, excellent food. Leah provided excellent service and plenty of butter for grandma's baked potato!!
Highly recommended.
Excellent salmon and you gotta have the cream of carrot soup! !!!! Amazing!!!
High priced for normal food with small portions Flavors of soup & seafood was bland or overkill on the salt. Let s just say we wish we wish we spent that money else where.
Service was great but if you want to pay for good sea food I m sure there are better options.
Great place. We stop in almost every weekend in the off season.
Always love this place good food and friendly people
Seafood, mmm, my favorite treat. Very tasty. The place has a nice feel to it. Food is similar to a cafe in Portland I loved.
Food was very good, as always. Waitress was very attentive yet not overbearing.
