I'm not happy at all with this place. First, the business opens at 5 pm, which is more than enough time to get your stuff right to serve customers the right way - WRONG! They are WAYYYYY overpriced for the small portions served. I call it highway (literally near a highway) robbery. My hubby ordered combo 6, and all combos come with 🌽 and 🥔. Every order comes in a bag. Fine with me. But, my hubby's combo had only two 1/2 of a 1/2 🥔 and a small 🌽 on the cob. The shrimp was the only thing that was great in the bag. The food was cold, but I will admit in the barlic sauce its taste was good. This cost $51. My daughter ordered combo 4, and the exact thing was with her 🌽 and 🥔. I believe her order was about $40. My other daughter had 2 snow cluster crabs she had no issue with the amount, which wa

I'm not sure what Christine issue was she seemed annoyed my family and i came to dine in and we were not ready to order after 3 mins of walking in. She came back 2 more times within a 6 min window and asked the same thing. I heard her say they're annoying in the back by the restrooms. I know she was talking about my family because we were the only ones inside beside a couple at the bar who were finishing up. I come back and what do you know I have a new waitress nammed Yannie. Yannie was pleasant and attentive. She made things clear and made sure the order placed was correct. She had great suggestions and made my daughter feel special on her bday. Thank you! Yannie smiled the whole time, checked on us, and seemed genuine and kind, not pushy and annoyed. Even the server who gave the food w

Absolutely amazing ! I’m a very picky eater, especially when it comes to sea food & this place knows flavors. It had a lot of meat for what I ordered. So definitely going back !

Overdue review but here it is. Shaking crab has been one of our go-to spots for shrimp being that its a little closer to home and they serve pretty good flavored seafood. Our usual is their pound shrimp with Shaking Crab Sauce. It has to have the head on. There is just this better taste with the head on really lol ive tried before without it and its just not as delicious and satisfying i dont know why. Maybe its just me. Anyway, the appetizers are delicious too - Loaded fries, calamari, garlic noods and the clam chowder too. Pretty much everything on the menu is good. What gets the place crowded and busy at times as well is that they offer alcoholic drinks. Definitely brings in the crowd. Come in hungry, come in thirsty, come in for the seafood, just come in…seriously.

Loved this place. All the food was delicious . The lobster roll had so much lobster. The clam chowder was better than I expected. The service was great. The vibe/ambience was great. Really good energy. Can’t wait to go back.
