A New Home in Oakland & Springfield

Cajun Claws landed in Uptown Oakland’s arts and music corridor on Telegraph Avenue and in Springfield along Pioneer Parkway East with one mission: bring the real Cajun seafood boil experience to both communities—no shortcuts, no apologies. From Oakland’s creative, high-energy streets to Springfield’s welcoming neighborhood hub, each location carries its own local soul. Both spots blend bold coastal spice with the character of their surroundings, creating a dining experience that feels rooted, vibrant, and unforgettable.
