Best cocktails in town. Love their pisco sours. Delicious food, perfect service (cordial efficient waiter and used plates whisked away without fanfare). Energetic and interesting setting. Loved the tacos carnitas and pork belly. Divine strawberry tres leches cake. One of my favorite places in Columbia. My only complaints are the lack of coffee and the level of noise at peak times. Go early in the week for taco specials.

The food was very good and I would say this is a hidden gem in Myrtle Beach. My only negative is that the size of the pasta dish my husband ordered for his entree was surprisingly small.

West Ashley

About the restaurant

"King Claw is inspired by the low country, viet-cajun style of boil-in-a-bag seafood that retains all the juicy flavor combinations of the sea. We then add our own unique blend of spices to seal the deal. You won’t find our flavor combination anywhere else. We prepare our seafood fresh to order and encourage our patrons to get their hands dirty with our signature seafood combinations. We firmly believe in bonding over great food and drinks with family and friends, and what better way than to dig right in with your hands? Come open up a bag, where the juiciness awaits you."

Another home run by the Doubletree Columbo team. My family has been attending their three holiday buffets since they first began and each one gets better. So, this was their very best and we will be back for future holiday buffets. Pricing is reasonable for the food, service and experience. It begins with the event and chef management on site for the event and greeting you as you enter. A mimosa or Bloody Mary starts the meal followed by a seafood/cheese presentation with oysters on the half shell and large shrimp. Entrees include salmon, carved beef and other meats with an abundance of vegetables. Dessert choices are plentiful and they have flavorful coffee available if you ask. An attentive serving staff tops it all off. If you haven’t been before, make reservations for the next event on Thanksgiving. You won’t regret it.
