Blazin Claw Norwalk — Restaurant in Norwalk

Im from the south and was visiting and wanted to try something new. It wasn't as busy when we arrived. I believe we missed a crowd. No greeting or when asked booth or table they said if you want a booth it will be 3 minutes so they can clean. Many tables were now empty but had trash from previous guests on it. It was more like a latin restaurant then the Southern seafood boil and Asian food menu like they had, because of the nonstop latin songs played. Food was not good. *Dozen raw oyster tasted more like fresh water. Salt and lemon could not fix the taste alone. Disgusting. I appreciate that they cleaned the oysters well and detached it from the shell but it did not taste good at all. No proper condiments to go with it. They just salt, pepper, tasteless cocktail sauce, and tapatio hot sauce. Your supposed to have horseradish, good cocktail sauce, and good hot sauce or some folks perfer soy sauce. *Coconut shrimp burnt, the special sauce they had was good. *Fish and chips was burnt as well, the fries perfect, tartar sauce did not taste good, it tasted like mayo alone *Cajun garlic shrimp fried rice was tatseless. Very bland no seasoning. Only the shrimp tasted good not rice. The "Sausage they used taste like a hotdog not an actual smoked sausage. We wanted to order seafood boil as well but since the food we had order did not tatse good we did not want to spend anymore money to be disappointed. Atmosphere good but only had latino music only. They should mix it up and be more diverse like the food they have Zouthern cooking, Asian food, and Latino food. Splurge and get the good tartar sauce and cocktail sauce, and horseradish. Get the good utensils not the cheap flimsy utensils that bend...

I’m not going to bash on the service. Not sure what happened the night we went but they had 1 person attending all guests. So you can imagine how things weren’t being brought out super quick, and there was a lag to ask for things. However, I will give the server grace because there’s a chance she was understaffed due to people calling out, inability to hire qualified people, or maybe they aren’t always so busy during the week and they didn’t think they needed the staff. The one server was hustling. She definitely was trying her very best to attend to everyone. So I give her an A for effort but unfortunately the level of service just wasn’t there and the food paid the price a bit. The friend foods were the first thing to come out and were fresh and hot, however, our shrimp took awhile and then was very mushy, so overcooked essentially. The spice also wasn’t there. The flavor was decent but it just wasn’t as flavorful as other spots. I would be tempted to try this place again but would need to make sure they are properly staffed, otherwise not worth the money to wait as...

The food was great, shrimp and crayfish with sides bag, I also ordered Cajun fried rice my other friends ordered coconut shrimp, cajun fries and blazing flavor bags, I had the lemon pepper flavor..... like I said all the food was great the bags is enough for 4 people. We have not been there so we wanted to try out different items and nothing was bad, staff was great tvs with sports and even though we saw a rat on the menu wall surf boards I still like it, I believe they r everywhere so idc didn't vother me but my party started to leave after we had finished over 40 mins ago we were just there talking I still took my left overs just so u know food was great but we saw a rat in the inside. Not complaining just f.y.i I'm the kind of person if I find a hair and I'm 75% into my food I'm just taking it out and gonna enjoy it now if I would have found it at the beginning before the food then yes I would leave but after enjoying the food and having a good time it's not gonna ruin it for me, I'm...
