text: If you have been to Boiling Crab or Red Claw in Orange County CA then you will find this place is fairly comparable though maybe with much better service But honestly your opinion on which is better will be based entirely on your own specific tastes and what you are used to Ex I was a big fan of Boiling Crab until I started going to Red Claw a few times and the garlicky taste grew on me Now I love Red Claw and think Boiling Crab is a bit too salty Some may think Red Claw is too garlicky So it all depends Red Claw not ever having a wait is the biggest influence in my decision to always go to Red Claw now anyway nnMy husband and I were in Vegas and were looking for a place to get good inexpensive seafood Most buffets on the strip definitely do not cut it for me since seafood is my favorite food and their seafood is usually not freshnnSince I love Boiling Crab and Red Claw I was very excited to find this place on Yelp and we made our way to the original location as it is a bit more tucked away from the second location which is a bit more touristy I found out later from our server that this location is generally more of a locals spot than the newer locationnnSo when we arrived at about pm on a Thursday night we were a bit sad there was no parking in the small lot But thankfully a group of people left shortly after we circled the lot and nearby neighborhood for parking We got in and were quickly greeted and told that the wait would be about mins though maybe quicker because they were cleaning up some tablesnnOkay so while I was waiting I noticed a few things n The mixture of people in the restaurant was extremely diverse I am sure there were at least different ethnicities there The age range was also very wide from young to old This was a great sign as I noticed EVERYONE in the restaurant seemed to be enjoying their food the food fit apparently for varying taste budsn It was pretty busy in there but the servers were extremely friendly and were all helping each other throughout the restaurant No server was strictly confined to only one section or certain tables or customers If you stopped any server they happily got you what you needed This was honestly rare to see and I was impressed at how the servers all seemed to interact together as a team rather than stressed out competitive individualsnnAs far as the food we got our shrimp sausage and corn in the hot and spicy sauce at spicy level The clams we got in the spicy garlic saucennShrimp Mostly fresh juicy plump easy to peel and crunchy sings of freshnessnnClams Were good though the actual clams were a bit smaller than I hoped they would be I guess maybe they just use different clams than what I am used to at Red ClawnnSausage Were not polska kielbasa sausages as we hoped My husband was very disappointed and did not like them at all and he normally loves sausages Do not get these Even though I ate them I did not enjoy them They were pretty oily and fatty tasting in a bad waynnHot N Juicy sauce This is similar to Boiling Crabs sauce I would say the spicy is pretty spicy and a little spicier would make it so that you could not taste your food very well My husband and I have a pretty high tolerance for spicy food and the spicy here is in between the medium and spicy spiciness at Boiling CrabnnGarlic sauce We got this sauce spicy and it tasted fairly similar to the Cajun garlic sauce at Red Claw though Red Claw uses tons of real chopped garlic and is much better in my opinion My husband liked this sauce over the Hot N Juicy sauce which is ironic since I am usually more of the garlic lovernnCajun fries Fries sprinkled with Cajun seasoning The fries were good and crispy and moist on the inside The Cajun seasoning is pretty spicy so be mindful of that if you do not like things too spicy They were good fries nnOverall this was definitely a great place for good Cajunstyle seafood The service was great and the food really good Overall I would definitely go here again the next time I am in Vegas and craving seafoodnnBe warned though that your hair skin and clothes will smell like your food I suggest you keep jackets and sweaters in your car and wear something you do not mind stinking up You will probably have to take a shower when you get home unless you do not mind smelling the food on your hair and skin while sleeping
