What locals are saying
King Claw on Sam Rittenberg is broadly well-liked as a go-to Viet-Cajun seafood boil spot in West Ashley, drawing repeat visitors for its flavorful, generously portioned boil bags and lively, nautical-themed atmosphere. The most consistent complaint across platforms is slow service — slow food delivery, drink refills, and check settlement — which can dampen an otherwise enjoyable meal. Fried starters (gator bites, calamari) get mixed marks, while the signature boils (King Claw, Bayou, Captain's) and king crab legs are the clear fan favorites.
