We had a large group of 15. We were all seated together, quickly, our food was fast and excellent quality. Ambience was perfect! We will come back! Excellent!

Fun place to have lunch or dinner. Great service from the moment you walk in. Food was good. Great selection of beers and cocktails.

The Claw House is always a fun place for the whole family. Unfortunately, our party was too big to sit out on the porch, which provides views of the water. Still, inside seating was just fine with us. We had oysters to start our meal. They were delicious. I had the poke tuna tacos, which were not bad, but not amazing. My kids had a sirloin, salmon and chicken schnitzel, which they all enjoyed. My husband stuck with a favorite of ours, the crab nachos. Those are always a win. We didn't have drinks, but they have a huge selection of beer on tap, along with wine and cocktails.

The Claw House is a seafood restaurant in Murrells Inlet. They have a full service raw bar and beer garden, with over 90 drafts on tap. There are a ton of places to eat in Murrells Inlet, but The Claw House is my favorite. On top of the beautiful view, the food is fresh and flavorful, and the service is fun and friendly. My last visit I ordered pretzel bites, crab & shrimp Rangoon egg rolls, and a lobster roll. The pretzel bites were buttered and salted to perfection, and served with beer cheese. The egg rolls were stuffed with crab, shrimp, cream cheese, and scallions, and served with a sweet and tangy dipping sauce. The lobster roll was packed with meat and topped with melted butter. Every bite was spectacular! This is one of those places where the entire menu sounds amazing. There are a ton of other things I still have to try, so I'll definitely be back. Pickup and delivery are both available. Pretzel Bites - 8.1 Crab & Shrimp Rangoon Egg Rolls - 8.5 Lobster Roll - 8.8 French Fries - 8.1 Food - 8.4 Service - 8.2 Value - 8.2 Restaurant score - 83

Okay, I'm stuck on the Claw House. At the same time, I'm a little disappointed that they do not have a whole lobster any more. It wasn't too crowded so we were able to sit at the bar. I always get their house oysters. They are outstanding. He got the peel and eat shrimp. Next up, the Claw burger for me. He got the shrimp tacos. My burger was good. Would I come back here? You betcha!! If you see me there, stop by and say hello.

We loved the claw house!! The claw house is on the marsh walk and it was delishious!! We got the seafood Mac and cheese, bacon jam scallops and the Grouper. The service and view of the marsh was also amazing. If thou are in the Myrtle, Surfside or Murrels Inlet area, than I HIGHLY recommend the Claw House

I enjoyed a lovely fresh fish lunch at the Claw House, topped off with a beautiful view! I was able to sit outside on a lovely Saturday afternoon, where the restaurant has an open patio overlooking the inlet. The fish and grits I ordered were flavorful and filling, and I appreciated the quick and friendly service. It definitely seems like it can get busy at times but I enjoyed the quiet! Easy free parking across the street in the dirt lot.

We have a table on the covered patio with an awesome view. The food was excellent. We had a grill platter and wedge salad. They even accommodated some of my food, sensitivities and modified my dish. The service was also first rate. We highly recommend The Claw House.

Lunch at Claw House on 10/22/24. Excellent service from MS. Hope, our server. Wife loved the oysters rock. My crab nachos were amazing. 6 inches tall with a beautifully colorful presentation. Wine was reasonable. We will be back.
