Simmer Claw Bar

Simmer Claw Bar brings the authentic flavors of Louisiana bayou country to the heart of Sonoma County, offering a unique dining experience that combines traditional Cajun-Creole cuisine with fresh Pacific Coast seafood and interactive hot pot dining. This distinctive fusion creates a culinary adventure that stands out in Rohnert Park’s dining scene, where the bold spices of New Orleans meet the fresh ingredients of Northern California.

The menu showcases an impressive array of seafood boils featuring Dungeness crab, Louisiana crawfish, jumbo shrimp, and fresh mussels, all seasoned with house-made Cajun spice blends. Beyond the signature boils, diners can explore classic Creole dishes like jambalaya, gumbo, and blackened catfish, while the hot pot offerings allow for a more interactive dining experience with premium broths and fresh local ingredients. The kitchen expertly balances heat levels, ensuring both spice enthusiasts and milder palates find their perfect match.

The restaurant’s atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between casual comfort and vibrant energy, with warm lighting, rustic wooden tables, and playful nautical touches that transport guests to a Louisiana seafood shack. The open kitchen concept allows diners to witness the theatrical preparation of their meals, while the communal hot pot tables encourage sharing and conversation, making it ideal for groups and families.

Whether you’re a Wine Country visitor seeking a break from traditional fare or a local craving bold, satisfying flavors, Simmer Claw Bar delivers an experience that’s both authentically Southern and distinctly Californian. The generous portions, reasonable prices, and welcoming atmosphere make it a standout choice for anyone looking to explore beyond Sonoma County’s typical culinary offerings.
