Restaurant name and location: Claw BBQ Crab shack & Grill at Souk al Bahar, Downtown Dubai

Cuisine: They say American BBQ & Seafood, but it’s more like Southern American Diner.

Atmosphere: We went on a Wednesday night, it was buzzing and packed. Heard it’s quite difficult getting reservations on the weekend, so make sure you book in advance. I love the touch of the Neon signs and bumper plates.

What they say: CLAW is the incarnation of America’s favorite style eatery featuring Southern hospitality at its best.

What to order:

Onion ring tower

Spicy jumbo prawns (spicy but delicious, possibly the best plate I had!)

Southern fried chicken wings

Sloppy Joe (My first Sloppy Joe, and it was worth all that slop…)

Banana burrito

Pecan pie

Dosarita Drink (Frozen Margarita and Beer concotion)

Service: Our Server, Donovan was sweet, cool, interactive and on it.

What I loved:

-The music was great – pop songs I haven’t heard in a while.

-The atmosphere was fun… casual, but fun.

-The Bull ride. I don’t know other places in Dubai that have it, it was a fun touch post dinner.

What I didn’t love as much:

-Not much, but a place not to visit if you’re on your diet!

Bill for two: AED350
