I loved my experience at shaking crab I went with group of friends and we had one the best times . Not only was food very good it's super nice In there and very private. Drinks were good as well and workers were very accommodating and super nice definitely trying it out for there happy hour on there regular hours as well
Food was delicious and fresh ambiance was nice, place is small but cozy. Staff was very attentive and accommodating. It's the type of place you would like to stay awhile. I went to happy Hour with a friend and the drinks were on point with a nice price point. They even have dessert sold separately. A little pricy but for seafood it's worth it.
Staff were super friendly! Food was delicious. Only thing that could be better-- snow crab bag (full) only had 2 clusters and one was a bit small.
I was planning to go eat at the restaurant but ended up didn't go because I was sick, so I order delivery instead. Food came on time but somehow it leaked so bad outside the bag. I got Twin Lobster Tails: for the price, I feel it a bit higher price than another Cajun restaurant, plus it is kind of small. Snow Crab Legs: is good but I expected the sauce to be more spicy than oily. Overall, the food is good. I wish I could go to eat at the restaurant. It would be better.
- great service - great happy hour drinks - large portions we could have used more broccoli there were a lot of shrimp one of my crab clusters was huge another one was kind of skinny - I think medium is kind of spicy - great bread pudding - delicious garlic butter on the side - garlic noodles were alright - I forgot the name, I liked the canned beer
The food was delightful! 10/10 Get the spicy seafood boil! The flavors were sooo good! I do not like clam chowder at all! It's usually watery and gross! This clam chowder however was Amazing!!! I'm glad it was on the prefix menu because otherwise I wouldn't get it! 5 stars The drinks we had were the: FISHERMAN PUNCH (blue drink) KINGSTON PUNCH Both were strong BUT I'm a sucker for a sorrel mix so the Kingston Punch was my favorite! Pleaseeee get the mac and cheese! I was stuffed and still ate that whole thing!
