Clawdaddy’s

Prototypical fried seafood restaurant — $ 9 for a lunch shrimp basket with 2 sides — reasonable and tasty. We had friendly and efficient service. Next time we are in this area we will stop by again. Outstanding Key Lime cake (yes, cake — not pie) for dessert.

Waited 10 minutes once seated and ignored by multiple wait staff. No thanks. Gave menus back to front and all I got was a sorry. You earned your score.

Because of the reviews last year, we did not go here. However, my husband and I, who use to like the place, decided to try it again.
We both had baskets, beer and a brand new waitress. Everything was good — the fried clams and the fried scallops. The waitress was friendly and came regularly to check on us.
We plan to go back again!

My wife and I went there on a Sunday for dinner. The atmosphere was like a Hooter’s with a seafood theme. The hostess started to seat us in the lounge area without asking first if it were okay. The seats in the dinning area where very uncomfortable like what you’d fing at a long Johns Silvers or Cap’n Dee’s. The servers acted like they did not want to be there and the noise from the lounge was overwhelming. I ordered the special which was the blackened Mahi and shrimp. The Mahi was very soggy and had a old frozen taste. The Ice tea was warm even with ice in it. the server as I said seemed not to really care. we ordered wings as an appetizer and came out with the food. The wings had no originality just deep fried then drenched with I think Franks or Texas Pete wing sauce. I doubt I’ll be back since I can make better food at home for less.

Not the best seafood I’ve ever head but was pretty good. Waitress was nice, restaurant was clean, food wast fast and fresh. Cool atmosphere.

«Claw Daddy’s,» More like «Flaw Daddy’s! I walked into «Flaw Daddys,» with the thought that it would be a unique tasting and looking restaurant. Boy was i wrong! I sat down on a bench table, noticing the floors\rugs, and table were all unclean. As im looking at this unique menu, i cant help to hear trickling water. As i look up, i notice this horror of a fountain with flies buzzing in and out, of a stench so horrific i wanted to crawl down and out the door, but i was already there so i had to grub.
When the waitress walked up to my table the one question i asked her, «what’s the most delicious sandwich on the menu?» As she tells me, «my favorite sandwich is the soft shell crab sandwich.» She can be more wrong! Soft Shell Crab should be none as the Soft Shell Crap for how utterly disappointing this sandwich looked. With one look at the the crap, you would know that it was a frozen deep fried mess. Surely as i bit into it, i slapped the crab back down onto the plate.
As i put the sandwich down on my plate. I reached out for the ketchup knowing it was warm, by the lamp it was under. Why in the hell would you put ketchup under a lamp? Can you say «TEMPERATURE DANGER ZONE?» I let that go until i asked the waitress for colder ketchup. The look on her face was like i spoke a different language to her. She came back at me stating that, «There are no cold ketchup, only room temperature ketchup!»
By the way, Shipwrecked is not a great décor for the restaurant. Just typing that out there for all restaurant lovers, that this place was not an adventure you’d like to be at!
IS THIS RUBBISH OR WHAT?

It seemed like the night we went that all the specials were only served in the bar. No exceptions! Most of the food is fried and comes out on the soggy side of crisp. The frog legs were almost like they were boiled. Shrimp did not taste fresh but frozen and a bit over cooked. It will be a while for us to go back especially with all the other seafood places near here.

Classic American style fried seafood. Had the calamari, was surprisingly good– not soggy with great marinara sauce.
Fried Grouper platter my step mom ate was delicious. High light was the boiled shrimp.
Run of the mill bar restaurant with good fried seafood.

Went there with my wife on a Saturday evening in December. The menu had so many advertisements for surrounding businesses, it was like looking through the yellow pages (what’s up with that?) The crab legs were decent, but the sides were bland and tasteless. The atmosphere was pretty quiet in the restaurant side. Tacky nautical décor with giant plastic dolphin overhead. Waitress was pretty much phoning it in, and didn’t have much personality, or have any good food or drink recommendations. We’re in our 30s and felt like the youngest people there by 20yrs. Would not come back.

Great oysters and cold beer.

Oysters are good: everything else yukko. staff needs training. No deviations on menu. Get real!

The waitstaff was great, good atmosphere. The food was tasty.

Recommended by a local, so we trusted his judgement. Eh. It was acceptable, but not great. I had stone crab, I’ve never had it before, so really cannot compare. It was fine. Fries were obviously frozen. One companion had fried fish which looked to me like frozen fish sticks. Other friend had soft shell crab sandwich, she seemed happy with it. Very affordable; there is an entire page of $ 4.95 lunch specials. The service was great, and the food was ok, but it isn’t a place I’d recommend or return to. Given that there are other seafood options in the area, next time I’d at least choose a restaurant on the water.

I love going here for the wings and the oysters. You just can’t beat 50 cent wings and oysters. I usually get the dry rub wings which are fantastic. Last time I ordered the raw oysters and they were equally delicious. It is nice to go to a place and know you won’t be broke when you leave.

You really don’t go here for fine dining. With that said, the food here is acceptable, and there are plenty of weekly specials that make it all better. Plenty of buy one get one free drink specials and plenty of specials on oysters and wings. If you don’t have high expectations on the food, you will not be disappointed.
