Prices are astronomical here. The food is good however not worth the price at all. $35 dollars for just the crab legs is unreasonable (3 cluster) meanwhile other boil spots will provide the boil along side corn and potato . The food here is inconsistent as well, sometimes you get perfect noodles then other time the noodles will be all hard and stuck together. The crabs are improperly cleaned as nasty green paste also know as tomalley will show up on your crab legs. The increase in prices are … this spot use to be popping when it first opened, so much so there was a wait to get and now it’s always empty.

It has been awhile since my last review of Just BeClaws even though I have been back many times. Each visit was always a 5 star experience. And, the JB Fries were still indeed 5 star. My favorite! My boil bag always contains shrimp, mussels, clams, sausage, potatoes and corn with JB sauce. I was disappointed. The mussels were hard. Everything seemed overcooked. And the sauce wasn't the same. Service was slow even though the restaurant was not crowded. I remember waiting an hour to be seated. Half the tables were empty for a Friday night. If this was my first time I probably wouldn't go back. Well maybe just for the fries.

They need to be reported to the health inspector. Just had this delivered to my address from Just Be Claws. Waiting for a response from management after speaking to an employee who said “that’s weird” to me finding mold in my food. I’ve ordered here several times in the past and I’m absolutely disgusted.

I get it! I'm old. But I can't get past the idea that you shouldn't take a job if you don't want the job. Especially if the job is in the service industry.I did not get past the hostess stand, so I can't speak to the food. The atmosphere and environment however are incredibly unwelcoming.Walking up to the hostess stand there were two employees. one did not look up from her phone and the other just gave me a blank stare to the point it was extremely awkward. No welcome, no greeting, no offer to assist in any way, just a blank stare no smile.It was quite obvious that both of them would rather be anywhere other than where they were, making me feel the same way. So I went to a more welcoming environment.

Very fun Cajun seafood place! Food was awesome (although a little heavy on the garlic, which also would've benefitted from being cooked a little more). Great place to go dig into some messy crab with friends. BYOB is fun as we brought four bottles of wine. Service was sweet but inept :)

A casual crustacean chow down. BYOB. Enjoyed the lobster roll, and all enjoyed this one off. Not sure I could eat that heavily regularly, as we only ate from the sandwiches menu. We've yet to try the Main Event shrimp, crab etc served in a bag with corn, potatoes etc in a traditional crawdad/crawfish broil looked fun but messy - they provide gloves etc impressively. Market pricing looked pricey the night we were in but may come back and try it. Service is helpful and pleasant. Overall was pricey for an appetizer and a lobster roll each (comparable to Light Horse Tavern prices!) at a casual dining place we brought our own wine to.

Just called to place an order for pickup today, and rude lady who answered the phone said “you order it online” which isn’t really specific so I proceeded to say “do you mean ubereats or a Grubhub?” she replies “mhm “ . The tonality wasn’t very pleasant..

Food is delicious and fresh. It's a BYOB spot which is nice. Liquor store around the corner. It's a casual spot, not fancy. Would eat here again. Crab cake is outstanding!Kid-friendliness: No bar, kids welcome. Kids menu is limited though.

Ordered mussels and shrimp from this place. Mussels were definitely frozen. They also overcooked the mussels. All the mussels had a very chewy and rubbery texture. All the shrimp were curled, meaning not fresh and overcooked as well. Extremely disappointed with Just Beclaws. I will not be ordering from this place again. Waste of my money. The only good thing was the lobster Mac and Cheese but the portion was way too small to justify the price.

I ordered online Crab Fries. (JB). Problem is the fries are cheese fries with crab. No where did it state that they are cheese fries. My husband has a diary allergy. I wasn’t offered an alternative. They don’t just do Crab Fries anymore. Very disappointed. ??

Food was very good. We had the wings. The shrimp po boy and the fried shrimp. The clam chowder and gumbo. The French fries with cheese and crab meat was fresh tasting and the oyster were good as well.Would go again. 40 minute drive. ?...Kid-friendliness: Eat with your hands. Dress as you might get some food on you . ?

So my gf's and I went here on Saturday and was thoroughly disappointed. We started with the calamari and the crabmeat w/French fries. Both were good but that's where it ends. Two of us ordered the crab cakes and they looked appealing but they tasted weird. Totally ruined my one time a month cholesterol binge . The sweet potato fries which you would think is easy and hard to mess up tasted under cooked. My other gf ordered the bundle crab legs, shrimp and etc which was also lackluster. Such a strange dining experience because the place smelled amazing. The taste just didn't live up to the reviews. I will say the waiter was very nice though if that counts for anything.

Omg, Delicious! I left so happy. The service was great, quick & efficient. Also, very pleasant server. My suggestion is try to go as early as possible (3p) because they do not take reservations and they get crowded quick. This was my third attempt to eat here. the other two times I arrived two hours(9p) before closing and we couldn’t get in. I asked one group how long they were waiting they said, “an hour and a half!” So go early. I went early this time and we were seated right away. They ran out of coleslaw & sausages but that’s ok because the potatoes and corn were delicious especially in their JB sauce??The garlic butter wings, not a fan it was the texture of the garlic and butter not the delicious crispiness lol. The JB fries, you have to try them with that lemon aioli soo good! The king crab was good as well. Then I washed it all down with a root beer that wasn’t watered down. I enjoyed my experience overall. And you can BYOB.
