Fingers & Claws Restaurant

Food and atmosphere were reminiscent of a bowling alley. Food and service were bearable, bit not worth it for the price tag. I would avoid in the future....

Tried to go for dinner on Friday with 4 other families, but found out they'd closed.
We only went there a few times and got carry out a couple more, but we're going to miss it. Fewer and fewer decent places to take the family or meet up with friends. Like the other local joints recently shuddered, small business in...

If you want unhealthy, cheap fried food, there are tastier places. But my husband and I order here once a month for 3 words: Fingers Steamer Platter. Any steamed (ie healthy) seafood lover will devour this platter. $35 for mussels, clams, oysters, tons of crab legs, shrimp, and 2 sides (choice of veggies or some type of potato). The food...

I had a disappointing softshell crab sandwich. I've had their softshell crabs before and they were plump and delicious. Last weeks softshell crabs was really small; perhaps it's too early in the season.
The kids enjoyed their chicken tenders and burgers and my wife enjoyed the blackened fresh fish.
As always, the service was good and the crowd well behaved.

When you go to Fingers at night, you'll find there is a very consistent and faithful locals crowd because of the loyalty to the bartenders who have been there for quite some time. The happy hour beverage prices are average and, while the happy hour food items are adequate, they seem to have suffered from shrinking portion sizes and the...

This restaurant was such a disappointment. They serve overpriced seafood and subs. My husband,son and daughter all got fried seafood (choice of 3) platters. You could tell it was all frozen and not freshly made. The fried fish was triangular shape, it looked just like the frozen kind you get at the grocery store.Mrs. Pauls! You could tell the fried...

My mom had two perfect soft shelled crabs - she said they were simple, but among the best she'd ever had.
I had crab cakes and they were really good. Mostly crab, very little filler.
My wife loved her broiled shrimp and fresh and my 12-year old enjoyed his fried platter.
The little ones enjoyed their kid's meals.

I've been here 3 times in the last 2 months for their crab legs!
They have a wonderful crab leg platter that is nicely priced and very fresh!
Nice bar for any drinks you might need too.
We plan to go here about once a month !

Not far from the RIO complex and refreshing local hangout feeling. Come here to enjoy a great selection including seafood, really great seafood pasta dishes, or more routine American foods including great deli sandwiches and good hamburgers. We have been eating here regularly for many years, and never disappointed with the food or service. The crabs are great, too. Make...

Since I'm allergic to shellfish, I didn't partake in the bucket of crab legs, but the chicken fingers were good enough for the price. Kind of a dive, and the TVs do not have great quality picture.

Family owned and operated, Fingers & Claws has been serving Montgomery County since 1985. It's a casual, family oriented seafood restaurant where you can enjoy the big game on one of many TVs. In addition to fresh, succulent seafood, it also offers delicious steaks and hearty pastas.
