The Bottom Line

CLAW BBQ The Palm is a lively American restaurant in Palm Jumeirah that works well when dinner is meant to be an outing. You can order barbecue favourites such as slow-cooked smoked ribs, burgers and shrimp, then stay for games, screens and the mechanical bull. Brunch is another draw, with one review calling the bull rodeo its highlight.

The food is generally praised for generous portions and bold flavour. The table-side guacamole can be tailored to your taste, while the menu also includes tacos, quesadillas, steaks, crab and boiled shrimp. One diner found the classic burger, fries, chicken strips, dynamite shrimp and quesadillas all good quality, though another described a burger as merely average.

Expect a casual American pub atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, Palm views and plenty of match-day energy. It is family-friendly, with games for children and adults, but music can be loud enough to interrupt conversation. The terrace may be the better choice if you prefer more breathing room, although one review mentioned occasional smokers outside.

Weekend evenings can be packed, so reserve ahead. Prices have been described as slightly above average, but reviews also mention daily offers and happy hours. There was one notably poor visit involving chewy meat and incorrect cooking temperature, so consistency may vary.
