Excellent food. Craw fish with house cajun sauce was delicious. The dungeness crab with Louisiana hot sauce was phenomenal! Corn and potatoes were excellent as well as the cajun fries. Very friendly staff. We will be going back for sure! Thank you, Shaking Crab!

Food was great and good value for the quality of the seafood. A very fun and messy meal.

The restaurant was bright and clean. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. It was a blast!

Yummy food, expensive but as expected from all seafood. Meal makes about two meals if you bring home leftovers. Would recommend the spicy flavors, the butter and garlic were a little bland. Get ready to get messy!

Come hungry. Get it hot. Bring your wallet. Get extra napkins.

We got the seafood boil and it was pretty good! Sauce had a very oily layer but when you really get into the dip and get the seasonings the flavor is really good and bold. The portion was decent. We got an order of sausage which was $5 but we only got 4 bite size pieces which was pretty disappointing. The corn was not big and sweet like some of the other seafood books we’ve had. Overall pretty good experience.

Little small inside luckily we got seated right away . Make reservations. Food was bomb dot com . Big servings

We loved experience here. It is hands on and messy eating crab but they prepare you and supply you with plastic gloves, bibs and plenty of napkins. It was fun and we would go back.
