Shakin Crab

This place is outstanding! The food can be made spicy or garlicky or lemony or all three mixed together. I went with all three and asked for it to be spicy. My favorite meal is the special number 3 with all the clams and mussels. It's actually reasonably priced and the portion sizes are very large. You can leave your mark on the wall too. This place is amazing and deserves as much love as it can possibly get. Our waiter Jasmine was incredibly friendly and came to our table repeatedly. Excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommend!

Review for Shakin' Crab – Manassas, VA I was truly disappointed with my recent visit. I ordered two orders of calamari—10 pieces each—for a total of 20 pieces. For just $2 more, I could’ve added fries, but I declined, expecting a decent portion of seafood for the price. Unfortunately, what I received fell short. The fried tilapia looked more like chicken strips—definitely not what I expected. The soft-shell crabs didn’t have any shell at all, which raised some red flags. I didn’t have the time to weigh my seafood platter, but I strongly suspect I was shorted by a few pounds. I even spoke with the person behind the bar to confirm the portion size of the calamari, and they assured me it was correct. Still, it didn’t add up for what I paid. First impressions matter, and this one missed th

Favorite crab boil spot! The flavor is awesome and they make it like you want it. The soft shell crab sandwich is pretty good too. I'm not crazy about sausage, so I always ask them to leave them out and they usually substitute it with 'more' shrimp - I'm good with that! The place is always clean, even the bathrooms and considering the mess that can be made, it's a well taken care of establishment. We ate there last night for hubby's birthday dinner and our server brought him out a cheesecake with a candle and sang happy birthday! Always a pleasant visit! We love it. Highly recommend it!

Its a great place for seafood in the area. Prices are good and not overpriced. I ordered fried oysters with cole slaw. This wasn't very good, but the cole slaw is great and a big portion. Next was the fried shrimp basket and it is spot on fantastic!! Big shrimp with a nice batter and very tasty. BIG order of fries that come with it. Atmosphere is neat with s seaside flair. The place was crowded. Most orders were for the seafood boil and the yummy aroma of spices and garlic all around. Next time that's what I'm getting. Great wait staff too. Give it a try.

Food is really good. Been coming here for a while. Flavor and spice is good and not watered down like a lot of spots. Came out hot and the servers are really nice. Cute spot for a date night or to bring children. Just be careful walking and don’t wear heels … floor is really slippery (I guess all that butter and sauce lol). But the place is clean.
