We stumbled across the central:south American cuisine when we turned to walk down Jellicoe Street off Halsey street. What a great find. Warm and inviting exterior/interior. With no reservations we were able to still dine at the tall tables by the bar and front entrance....Comfortable. The menu was attractive with a nice variety to choose from. I ordered Jambalaya - not too attractive but OMG 😱 it was packed with flavour! Tomato, spices, and heat throughout the whole dish! The seafood was not overpowering in the taste! Delightful balance. I didn’t think I could eat it all as it was a healthy serving. But I did! I had the Lime Key Pie for dessert- a delicious finish to an amazing dinner. We will definitely be back!!!!More

We booked in for the Restaurant Month menu but quickly figured out the special menu was more expensive than if you just ordered off the regular menu. Not a good way to start. We ordered cocktails, which were good. All the food we ordered was...also good and the portions were sizeable. Good thing we didn't order 2 jambalayas! The key lime pie is delicious. Overall we had a good experience and will likely add Miss Clawdy to our regular restaurant rotation.More

The authenticity factor just wasn't there. Went in hoping for a punch to the soul from some proper Southern food but left disappointed due to the poorly executed portrayal of this cuisine. 2/5 for the food 2/5 for the "southern" vibes 2/5 for timely service...4/5 for the cocktailsMore

Miss Clawdy - always busy when we've walked past. Seated at high barstools, made choices of food; we had nibbles & drinks, it was rollicking, great vibe. I have gait/walking challenges (stroke); I wear a legbrace. Beers, wine, great snacks & bigger plates, lively atmosphere,...very busy.More

Had the $40 menu and was impressed. Hubby;s pulled pork with wedges was quite a substantial portion and tasty, My jambalaya was flavorful but the spiciness overwhelmed the rest of the flavour as you ate more of it. It had 3 prawns & 3 bits...of chorizo - could have done with a little more I think. The fried doughnuts was really good - warm and looked like it was just done. The cheesecake was good but not anything different from usual. Overall was a good meal out and enjoyed the busy, loud vibe in the restaurant.More

We have eaten southern food all across the south of the USA (Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Florida) so our expectations were up there when we visited Miss Clawdy's. The venue is great, well decorated and has the right atmosphere. Only a few other diners when...we walked in through the wide open door on a cold winter evening with a good breeze coming in off the viaduct basin. Our waiter parked us at a table beside the door. Marks off straight away. We invited ourselves to move to the back. From then on her service was quick and attentive. We had the house specialty chicken, slaw and jambalaya. Food in the South of the USA is spicy but this chicken was too hot - well for our Kiwi palates anyway, something we didn't have cause to note in America. The bowl of slaw was twice the size it needed to be. It was OK - but not with the zing that Americans give slaw, The jambalaya suffered from the overuse of NZ tomatoes which are far more acidic and sharp - almost bitter - than what we enjoyed in the USA. Not a bad experience and probably a good one for others for whom the food style is new. For us the food was disappointing.More

The service was so bad that I am embarrassed on behalf of them to my customers and then my friends..... went twice in a matter of 4 days and same terrible experience..... 1. Restaurant Manager assume you will be taking longer than an hour after...booking and asked to sit outside. 2. You have to wave hard to get service..... water.... serviettes... drinks. 3. Food get served, no cutlery. Again, wave hard for service to get cutlery 5 minutes later, when the food was cold! 4. Missed a main order, and the staff challenged my friend saying that she did not write it down! (I was speechless...... , despite my friend asked specific question about the dish.....) 5. The restaurant manager came back and told us that the food will take 10 minutes to get ready and if we want the dish still, we will have to sit outside (Back to point #1), even though our booking time still has 30 minutes to go) These are amongst the main point, and when I asked the manager to get the owner to call me, she asked me to email them. A couple of days later, she texted me to apologise for the bad service and I insisted that the owner call me, and she asked me to email. This is despite my friend who asked me that the food was average. Value for money? NO. For the service, KFC would deserve to charge what these unprofessional Restaurant Manager is doing. And finally, the most disappointing thing is that they obviously do not appreciate feedback enough to call me back. I am happy for the owner to contact me as I don't want anyone to lose their job during these covid time but they really have to consider their service if they want to charge for the price for an expensive restaurantMore
