I come first time with wife and she very like drinks. The bartender was fantastic! She reccomend stuff for us to do in city becouse we are visting first time! 5 star restaurant!

There was no wait and the weighters were very nice. The place was clean and air conditioning was welcomed on this hot day. Lobster cheesy fries tasted amazing and may be the only thing on the menu that may make me return. I had Alaskan King Crab that were over priced and quite messy (because they only offer boils) and the taste was just ok. My boyfriend had the shrimp which u have to peel yourself (again messy) and he did not like any of the seasoning options so he went with barely which they got the name right because no flavor so lots of mess for no reason. In my opinion if u wanna go and have some drinks and the lobster cheesy fries this is a good spot.

This review is for takeout. The service was great, helpful on the phone and the order was ready when I was told it would be. We got the crab cove combo with shrimp. It was so well prepared, the meat just came out of the shell. I loved their signature sauce but my husband thought it was way too garlic-y, which it was but I love garlic. The lobster mac and cheese was so gooey and creamy and had a generous portion of lobster.

Amy was the best server. She was very knowledgeable and kind and helped guide us in making our meal decisions. The food was cooked to perfection and wasn't overly salty. Overall I had a great expierence and would come back with friends. 10/10 would recommend

I’ve been to every shaking crab location at this point. Service is always good. Food is consistent throughout every location. My go to for crab legs. Plus they have an all you can eat menu! For $37 pp! Def worth a visit.

Pretty straight forward. The food is good. Prices aren't bad. Service is good, drinks are very good. The place isn't huge but can easily accommodate a party of 15 or so. Get the garlic butter sauce on the side. You have to request it.

I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could. The food was absolutely delicious. The customer service here is so nice. The staff is so helpful. I have dined in and ordered out and enjoyed my experience and the food both times. I will always come back!

This was such a fun experience! The food was delicious and shareable! The staff deserve a 6 out of 5. The staff members were super attentive and friendly. We will be back for sure!

I loved this new spot! The space is warm and smelled delicious upon arrival. I ordered the Alaskan Crab Legs, Shrimp and Clams with a side of potatoes and corn. Everything came in bags, they provide bibs, and gloves to get realllyyyy messy! lol The sauces and seasoning were delicious and added a nice spicy kick. The servers were all so pleasant. Server named Clark offered to help demonstrate how to use the tools to open the crab legs, I declined the first time, because I knew the basic way of opening crab legs with my hands. After a few minutes I waved Clark back over and the way he showed was of course a million times easier. Thanks Clark!I will be back for another round of crab legs for sure, but this time with a refreshing fishbowl drink on the side.

This site is my preferable restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this restaurant. when I feel like having a proper lunch, this restaurant comes right away to my mind. extremely good and all kinds of food and a large menu.trained crew, and good mood. Also, the expence is reasonable. I recommend this spot with no doubt.
