Northwest Austin seafood restaurant Juicy Claws has announced it will be sold by its current ownership.

In a nutshell

The restaurant opened in the neighborhood on June 27, 2023.

In a press release, the restaurant’s owner, Han Tran, stated he is selling the restaurant so he can focus on construction projects.

“I just don’t have the time anymore,” Tran stated in the release. “I’m in construction, also. I am very busy with my other projects, and that’s taking away from my time in the restaurant, so we are not doing well. I’m just going to sell.”


The release stated the restaurant concept may or may not continue under the new ownership or be changed altogether. The ownership change will be concluded by the end of 2025.

What they offer

The business serves seafood boils, appetizers, soups, salads, wings, po’boys, fried platters, fried rice, noodles and more.
