Blue Claw Seafood & Crab Eatery, in Burlington, is a seafood restaurant with a casual air. They may not seem fancy, but their food earns accolades such as Best Eat In & Take Out (Best of Burlington), and Best Crabs in NJ (SJ Magazine). You can also find them as a feature on the Channel 6 segment FYI Philly with Karen Rogers.

For the best dining experience, the restaurant encourages crab, of course. Varieties include blue crab, soft-shelled crab, and snow crab. However, the staff highly recommends the dungeness crab. Shrimp, scallops, flounder, cod, and clams also feature on their extensive menu. Some unusual starters include crab meat mac & cheese and seafood tacos, alongside appetizer favorites such as fried mushrooms and cheese fries.

Blue Claw Crab Eatery Offers an Aquatic Atmosphere

Dishes are not just sea fare; the appetizer and entree lists contain such favorites as BBQ ribs and wings, and a kid’s menu has choices such as chicken nuggets and pizza rolls. Sides are plentiful, and each entree allows for two; they include New England clam chowder, macaroni salad, garlic mashed potatoes, cranberry apple sauce, and of course french fries

Blue walls reminiscent of the ocean, and nautical-themed decorations throughout, enhance the atmosphere of Blue Claw Crab Eatery. Cozy booths with wooden benches and teal tables line the walls, while tables in the center can be arranged to seat parties of up to 15 people.

Blue Claw Crab Eatery is also BYOB, so don’t forget your favorite drink. If you don’t have time to stay for a meal, the eatery offers take out.
