Claws Indoors in Torbay

Called in for a coffee and cake. Had the homemade scones with jam and cream, divine! Fabulous, welcoming hosts. Would recommend

We have been calling regularly at Claws restaurant ever since we moved to Devon some years ago but today I noticed a decline in standards. The fish was still fresh and good but the accompanying salad was undressed and the staff were not as friendly...

We planned our day at Brixham with Claws as our lunch venue. We arrived early at the harbour so decided to have a coffee before we revisited for lunch. If at all possible - there was no coffee in the coffee- straight up!! My Mum...

We came here to sit in the sun and watch people every day whilst we were in Brixham. Very helpful ladies - got to know us after a few days and had our mugs and kettle boiling ready for us!. Very popular so you just...

Visited Claws on a day trip and bought my husband a Crab Sandwich to take home, well to say paying a price of £8.50 was a bit steep I could not believe it, gave it to my husband and he was gobsmacked, certainly not anything...

This small unpretentious establishment on the quay sells wet fish as well as being a café/restaurant. We all had scallops, cooked either with brandy and cream or with garlic and chorizo. I chose the latter and ended up wiping the dish with the accompanying sliced...

Every mouthful was a pleasure!! We stopped to have lunch here as we saw some amazing looking food as we walked by. We weren’t disappointed! We had the “Avocado Crab Scrummy” and it was just that. The freshest, sweetest crab and perfect avocados 😋 We...

Stopped here for a prawn cocktail which had been recommended to us by a friend and wow it didn't fail !!

Enjoyed wonderful fresh Brixham crab sandwich with a pot of tea. Great choice of dishes from Oysters to Scallops. very reasonably priced. Happy and attentive service. Only downside payment cash only, but happy to forgive, cash machine short walk away.

The food, as always was delicious. We went twice in the same week. Very hectic lunchtime but staff were friendly and helpful. Scallops were fabulous, accompanied with fresh salad and bread. Only one small concern. Staff started to tell people arriving at 3pm that they...

Seafood delights!! Menu has so much to offer of the delightful Brixham seafood. All prepared in a small hut with fantastic staff

We stopped in claws for a hot chocolate and cake. We had a table outside. The hot chocolate was very basic with no special extras. The brownie was dry .. would have been nice to have been offered to warm through and served with cream/ice...

Hectic August afternoon in Brixham but staff really friendly and lovely fresh seafood. No chips so kept most punters away!

Dry crab sandwiches and a cream tea warmed in the microwave. Very popular with tourists and only wish we'd gone elsewhere. Cash only which is surprising in covid 19 pandemic as most places encourage contactless.

Stopped at this outside terrace and had a really good lunch. The crab sandwiches were excellent and decent value. Sat right on the harbour which was nice on a sunny day. Washed it down with a nice glass of wine. Would heartily recommend for an...

Not impressed with the crab sandwiches, little crab in them, rather dry, mayo would have helped, not offered, Price,, £8.oo each Also be aware, only cash accepted. Had to go to the Atm to settle up, bit of a hassle for me as I am...

Popped over for a spot of lunch ! We ordered Mussels , scallops, prawns , crab and more prawns ! Everything was cooked to perfection ! Friendly staff , quick service without feeling rushed - absolutley faultless !!!! Lovely laid back relaxed place , seemed...

Stopped here because of high Trip advisor rating and didn't disappoint. Had crab and prawn sandwiches. Good service. Great tray bake cakes too.

Lovely lunch. Gluten free cream teas shame no gluten free bread to go with saiads. Great views not the best for value

We visited twice during our one week holiday, and Claws was fantastic on both occasions 👍 would definitely recommend the oysters

An excellent choice for a good seafood meal. Had the best crab sandwich I can remembers, served quickly, with a smile, and all precautions taken care of.

This is a regular stop for us whenever we are in Brixham but think it will be our last. The last prawn cocktail was over two years ago due to Covid and I feel the taste and quality has gone down. It was just a...

Disappointing lunch, food fresh but average and pricy for what it was, no gluten free options, every table had service issues while we were there, and staff totally unengaged, not offered the bill just given a price, and cash only so no card payments, overall...

We were about to go on a boat trip and in a rush. We ordered a crab sandwich each. I nearly died when they asked for £17 for two! We were taking away too. We have a holiday house in brixham and have eaten at...

Dropped in here for a late lunch and had an outside table. Ordered the seafood linguine which was superb value and delicious. This place closes at 4pm which was a shame as I’m sure we would have spent the evening here. Great service as well....

Really lovely food, friendly staff and good location on a sunny day in Brixham harbour. The portions are very generous, I love that the crockery is all available to buy too. Just one thing would be to accept card payments.

Amazing value and great service, lovely fresh food one of my favourite lunch venues. Great seeing on the harbour or in the restaurant. Crab was amazing !

We always visit claws for their crab sandwiches when in Brixham, however today’s visit was disappointing. The bread was dry, practically toast and the filling was below their previous standard, with very little crab and an attempt to bulk it up with lettuce, that used...

Both the crab and prawn sandwiches were good. they serve a decent white wine so just chill out on the dock of the bay!

We had a prawn cocktail and a “handmade” crab sandwich, they were both mediocre at best, with the prawns being minuscule freezer shop type and the bread for the crab sandwich being dried up and also of freezer shop quality. If I had bought these...

Enjoyed a pot of tea each morning served by friendly staff. Lovely view of the harbour and an ideal spot to people watch.

Claws is a little bit hidden in a busy street of shop-front restaurants, though it also has open air seating on the water side. Good food - mostly fish and shellfish, very reasonably priced. The scallops cooked with leeks and cream were excellent and the...

Impressed by the reviews here, we tried Claws' fresh crab sandwiches . Really disappointing. Very little crab on supermarket sliced bread. It also cost £8.50 each. Really, this is not in the same league w as other crab sandwiches we had on the coast, so...

Noticed this place was busy as we walked around Brixham so decided to give it a go for lunch and were pleased that we did. We both had the Prawn cocktails which they weren’t shy with the prawns on! We sat outside overlooking the harbour...

We had to sit outside because of COVID restrictions. It was a wet and windy day, so not ideal. However the delicious fresh seafood meal certainly made up for it. I had a prawn and crab salad. It was huge, well presented and had lots...

We had oysters at Claws indoors- they were fantastic! The biggest, freshest oysters I have ever had. Thank you. They were so good. Apparently they were from near Plymouth- they were beautiful and a very good price. We a

This lovely little seafood restaurant has the best prawns !! Plentiful portions all lovely and fresh .

We had stopped here a couple of times for hot drinks, lovely view of the harbour and nice coffee. Went back one lunchtime and had scallops and smoked salmon. Both delicious and excellent value for money. Nice, friendly staff and Covid rules all in place.

Sat outside Claws indoors for lunch. Whitebait was gorgeous as was the crab sandwich. We purchased a couple of fish plates and love them. Friendly staff great location.

When the sun shines this is a very good place to stop have a plate of seafood, glass of something and watch the world go by. We sampled the oysters, crab sandwiches and seafood salad on our two visits. Both times the sun shone and...

Plenty of crab in the sandwiches. Fresh wholeness bread. Crisp side salad. Rapid polite service. Perfect lunchtime snack.

The freshest seafood in Brixham! Excellent service and the best views, what more could you want 😁 And its dog friendly too 🐾

Stopped at last after 7 years of looking at claws thinking must stop there, really wish we had not. Ordered 4 crab sandwiches at an incredible cost of £30. Bread was stale and the crab was still hiding in the sea. Oh well pay your...

Dry bread not much crab 2 bits of cucumber a slice of lemon shell in the crab £7.50 would not recommend or re visit.

I have to say I was disappointed. The bread was dry and the crab; well I think it was hiding! What there was of the crab meat was nice but after watching Fishtown and seeing the reviews I expected more. £7.50 for a sandwich! Never...

Stopped by as passing for a crab sandwich, not the biggest or best but nice. Very clean tables on harbour walk way. I had avocado and prawn salad which was very nice

We have been going here for quite a few years it’s just superb very good prawns and other shell fish the large sea food platter is just brill

Lovely place if you love shellfish, sells wine and beers, staff are very friendly and helpful, they are only open in the daytime but they have a restaurant just next door for the evenings, can’t wait for a return visit

Dropped in for a coffee while waiting for the ferry to Dartmouth. My girlfriend went first to order and get a table while I was checking on ferry booking. Staff delayed making my coffee till I arrived so it was hot. Good attitude.

This seafood café is a gem on the harbour in Brixham. Only a few meters away from England’s largest Fish Market, Claws Seafood Specialist offers seafood classics in a rustic setting. Recommendations: The crab sandwich (excellent), crispy whitebait and the oysters. P.S. Remember to bring...

Brilliant food excellent wine inexpensive and good . Smoked salmon crab and prawns and salad Yum yum yum

Had a very good seafood lunch here, would highly recommend, but they only take cash, no card payment available.

We visited here twice last week, the first time I had a prawn cocktail which was huge and really lovely but Mick had mussels and they were amazing so we returned on Saturday and both had the mussels,the staff were all really friendly, can't recommend...

We enjoyed a superbly fresh seafood platter & glass of bubbly on the quayside. Very enjoyable way to spend a summer afternoon.

Lovely seafood menu with something for all the kids from 6 years to 11years and the parents also loved. Seafood salad and mussels a favourite washed down with Prosecco. Lovely view of the harbour. Need cash no cards

We enjoyed a fresh crab sandwich here - it was lovely, made to order, but at £7.50, quite pricey. However, if you want to enjoy the harbourside location and the atmosphere, here is a good choice.

We went to Claws having visited it last year. The staff friendly and helpful. The prawn cocktail was probably the best I have ever had, large quantity, well presented and very tasty. If in Brixham again I would certainly go there again.

When we arrived the restaurant was full. We waited around 15 mins for a table but was fully socially distanced and test and trace was in place. 5 of us ordered the seafood platter. They accommodated alternatives for the different lovers of different fish. Nothing...

Great staff and choice of seafood always come here when we visit Brixham. The staff are really friendly

My husband and I visited for lunch, we both had the crab sandwiches on brown bread with a larger for hubby and a Diet Coke for me. The service was lovely with a smile even though they were very busy. All the covid precautions were...

Best Prawn and Crab Sandwiches, deliciously fresh and tasty. Friendly service even though it was exceptionally busy

We had our lunch here, on a very busy day, however they promptly spoke with us and acknowledged we were waiting, gave an estimation as to how long the wait would be. Tables were promptly cleaned and we were seated. We had the avocado and...

We are happy to have stumbled upon the Claws shack. Outdoor seating and delicious fresh seafood - the oysters, prawn cocktail and smoked salmon parcel were all exceptional.

Although Claws Indoors are best known for seafood they also do an excellent cream tea. Service here is friendly and efficient, definitely makes Claws a standout option.

We had sat down at another restaurant nearby (decided better not to name it) who when asked about gluten-free option, claimed that they had nothing left!!!! i.e. bread/rolls and yet were asking for £15 for crab sandwiches... Went along the harbourside and found Claws -...

I’ve got to say it. This has got to be one of the best seafood restaurants/cafe I have been too. First time going to Brixham and I had done a bit of research about this place before arrived. As soon as I arrived in Brixham...

Met the girls for lunch ( didn’t realise they served wine) and had an amazing crab sandwich. We all had beautiful fresh fish served by friendly staff. Definitely recommend 👍👍

Lunch was very good , sat over looking the harbour. Smoked salmon parcel with cream cheese and prawn filling was lush! Mixed seafood very good too !! Good selection of seafood ! Also catered for the sweet tooth cream tea and scones were very good...

On the harbor side, with tables outside. Nice and clean and friendly service. Crab local and really good.

Walking around Brixham we fancied a drink and a crab sandwich but some prices were ridiculous. However, this little establishment on the harbour side was great. Friendly staff and a beautiful sandwich at a very reasonable price!! Very clean and great views of the busy...

Being on holiday in Torquay we took the bus to Brixham as not sure about parking. It was very easy and straightforward. We were dying for some seafood and Claws is in a lovely position overlooking the old harbour area. We splashed out and had...

Enjoyed lunch sitting outside by the harbour. We shared a seafood platter and crab salad. Children really enjoyed the prawn salad. Washed down with a glass of cold Sauvignon. Would recommend.

Excellent food. Quick and friendly service. Would recommend. Seafood platter was excellent and service was friendly and efficient

Simply delicious and we will be back to try the prawn cocktail and crab sandwiches which all looked extremely nice

We last ate here in 2018 so fancying some shellfish we decided to have lunch here. I had forgotten payment is cash only but the staff were great and accepted my order while I went and got the cash out of a money machine. As...

Ate with my husband and 4 year old - shared tiger prawns and scallops with chorizo. Staff gave my daughter her own salad plate which was a very nice touch. Fresh & tasty food, but I really would prefer my food crisp white wine in...

Not often we treat ourselves but very much worth the wait. Prawn sandwiches were delicious and fresh, staff and atmosphere fabulous, thank you Brixham for this wonderful place, right on the harbour, excellent for people watching and watching the children crabbing along the harbour. Highly...

Excelent Crab Sandwiches. While we understand that the season is winding down. Evening & general opening times are a bit confusing.

We just love Claws, situated on the side of the harbour there is nothing like sitting there in the sun drinking cold sauvignon and eating a crab salad or crab sandwiches....the perfect lunch.

have been here many many times over many years and have a sea food platter shared between 2 with extra bead and tea and coffee amazing what you get and how much love it and great views of the boats very busy but we always...

Stopped for lunch here and had the best fresh crab sandwich ever and coming from Cornwall I’ve sampled a few! The staff were so cheerful and helpful it was a pleasure to be there! There is a lot of competition along the harbour for seafood...

Called here for lunch, drawn in by the prawn sandwich & smoked salmon. Well we were not disappointed, icing on the cake was the opportunity to have a bottle of white wine with lunch. Would recommend

My husband and I both had a seafood platter. It was really to share but as we like seafood we thought we would have one each. However it was too much for me

Stopped here for lunch. I am so glad we did. My other half had a salmon parcel and I had salmon, prawn and crab salad, it was wonderful. There was plenty of it too. We both enjoyed it. I think if you like fish it’s...

After eating at Rockfish we decided we needed to find somewhere that was better value, so we found Claws. Nice friendly staff and food was lovely.

Love eating here and try to have lunch whenever I'm in Brixham. Especially like the crab sandwiches. The service is always great with welcoming smiles from the lovely staff.

During a short break in Brixham, my sister and I had coffee here most mornings. Coffee lovely and staff friendly and helpful. Having had a disappointment with a crab salad elsewhere, we went there for lunch where I had a really lovely fresh crab sandwich....

Stopped here several times last year So knew where I was going to get a nice cup of tea and tasty sandwiches this year, Highly recommend Just remember if sitting outside seagulls. also approve of their food and will steal it

So glad we went to have lunch here it was amazing the staff were very friendly and the service was very quick. And claws is also in a great location next to the harbour.

My wife our two children and I ate here as we saw the size of the scones. We both had a cream tea and we were not disappointed they where very tasty and very big. They gave us a generous portion of cream and jam...

I had a cream tea, it was lovely the scone was heated up, lovely cream and lovely jam. Decent size tea for 2 people. Highly recommend. Only thing to say it is cash only

A traditional seaside stall/kiosk selling fresh seafood, included the highly recommended Crab Sandwich which I really enjoyed. My wife had the Seafood Platter which at £15 is a but pricey, but well worth the money given what this includes. My son also enjoyed his Smoked...

The restaurant is very small and right on the sea front. The food is absolutely delicious but the staff are quite grumpy and unfriendly when they see you’re a tourist. The prices for food aren’t too bad but the drinks are quite expensive. There isn’t...

Visit Brixham every year for past 25 years and always stop here on arrival and before we return home for the Prawn Cocktail well worth a visit and if raining pop over road to Claws inside same good food

Visited with the family, food was delicious. But service was a let down by one lady, family member stood up to stretch their legs and lady got Arsey and was like “You haven’t paid yet” felt this was Very rude as we spent best part...

Like most people I saw this on tv and we decided to give it a try. We had prawn sandwiches and a prawn cocktail (retro but lovely). The food is delicious and the sandwich was that big and crammed with prawns that I did not...

Crab sandwiches were disappointing as the crab was amazing but they used supermarket basic loaf and served wine in plastic glasses

Have been to Brixham several times but this was the first time we’ve eaten at Claws. What have we been missing out on. Such huge portions of amazing fresh seafood. I opted for the crab salad. Wow. It was massive. Himself opted for the seafood...

Every time we come to Brixham we make a point of stopping at Claws for lunch ... and every time it's delicious. Sitting in the sun around the picturesque harbour tucking into one of their lovely Prawn Cocktails is just great.

Great welcome !!great food... had the salmon parcel with salad and sides which was lovely and they serve peroni
