(clawsrestaurant.com) – Cerritos, California
How I heard of this place: My sister! She had been raving about the “shrimp buffet” since I visited two years prior. This time, we weren’t to be swayed from our path to shrimp.
Type of cuisine: Cajun.

Ambiance: A little kitsch. A lot of space. Clean and shiny.
Tall ceilings host tiled floors, brick half-walls, and an array of life-sized pirates,
mermaids and other such decor,
as diners are seated around tables/chairs set for large parties throughout the dark, expansive establishment.
What I ordered: Among the three of us adults (and two children), we chose to enjoy the Mix ‘n Match 4-lb Seafood Meal Deal ($67) with shrimp in the Cannon Ball sauce (a combination of all three: Cajun, Garlic Butter and Lemon Pepper), in mild.
Our meal came with Chicken Cajun Rolls (our choice),
Fried Calamari,
and Garlic Fries.
Sides and additional seasoning for our bag of shrimp,
and the pièce de resistance: a bag, twisted at the top, and full of little beady eyes!
We also requested one serving of rice to sop up the extra yummy sauce!
What I loved: The calamari was a surprising favorite of mine, not including, of course, the shrimp, shrimp, and more shrimp.
Why I loved it: Just plain yum. In a bag.
Cost: High ($20+ per person with the meal deal)
