REHOBOTH, DE - When you are strolling down the main drag in Delaware's premier beach town, the cheery, bright exterior of Claws Seafood House at 167 Rehoboth Ave, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971 is impossible to ignore. Operating under the Fins Hospitality Group, the restaurant is built around one core philosophy: family. From the moment you walk through the doors of this bustling crab house—whether it is your first visit or your hundredth—that family-first ethos is immediately noticeable in both the atmosphere and the warm hospitality.
Legendary Happy Hour Deals & Standout Starters
Every single time I come here, the kitchen and bar are completely on point. What keeps regulars and seasonal vacationers coming back year after year is that the prices are tough to beat for downtown Rehoboth Beach.
I always love grabbing a seat at the bar for their famously long happy hour. Whether stopping in for casual drinks with my girlfriend or meeting up with friends after an afternoon on the sand, the bar atmosphere is lively and welcoming.
The Clams Casino: If you are looking for an appetizer to kick off your happy hour, I highly recommend ordering the clams casino. They are prepared to perfection—savory, buttery, and packed with flavor.
The Main Event: $39.99 All-You-Can-Eat Crabs
While the kitchen serves up an extensive menu of fresh coastal seafood, lobsters, and sandwiches, the true showstopper here is their $39.99 All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) Blue Crabs.
In a beach town where seafood pricing can climb quickly, getting an unlimited feast of steamed crabs at that price point is an incredible value. More importantly, quality is never sacrificed for quantity:
- The Weight: The crabs arrived consistently heavy and meaty, packed with sweet blue crab meat.
- The Cook: Every batch came out of the kitchen piping hot, generously coated in savory shore seasoning.
- The Variety: Even for guests at the table who ordered beyond the AYCE special, every dish leaving the kitchen looked fresh, delicious, and generously portioned.
Incredible Hospitality and The Verdict
What truly elevates Claws Seafood House from a standard beach crab shack to a must-visit institution is the staff. The service on my latest visit was nothing short of incredible:
- Hope did a phenomenal job managing our table—she worked tirelessly to keep crab buckets cleared and drinks full, and she genuinely deserves a raise!
- James and the rest of the bar team consistently deliver the kind of welcoming, attentive service that makes you feel like an extended part of the Fins family.
The Verdict: Between the unbeatable $39.99 AYCE steamed crabs, the top-tier happy hour at the bar, delicious clams casino, and outstanding staff, Claws Seafood House remains one of the absolute best dining stops on Rehoboth Avenue. I will definitely be back—and if you plan on making it a regular tradition, be sure to sign up for their Rewards program to rack up perks on future visits.
