Customer Reviews
Shaking Crab was a wonderful dining experience for our whole family. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh seafood, rich Cajun flavors, and perfectly cooked lobster and shrimp. Everything was well-seasoned and full of flavor. What made it even better was the fun, hands-on style of eating. The seafood boil came in a big bag, and we all wore gloves, cracked shells, and enjoyed the meal together. It was a little messy, but that’s part of the fun. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a great place for families. We laughed, shared, and truly enjoyed the experience. Great food, great energy, and great memories. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and tasty seafood feast with loved ones.
A cozy little spot right in Auburndale. Their seafood boil was absolutely incredible and they certainly have a sauce for everybody to enjoy. The lobster roll was so unique and so flavorful. They have a great cocktail/mocktail menu! The service was wonderful and they were so kind. The Be Shellfish in shaking sauce was one of the best flavors i’ve ever had. We also got the Deep Sea in the barlic sauce and I think anybody could love and enjoy that! Highly recommend.
Went late on a Sunday, was seated very quickly. They took my order and food was out in less than 10 minutes. I got Canadian crab full and lobster tail which came w corn and potatoes. Medium spice Cajun flavor, all fantastic and not spicy at all. Also got the garlic noodles and rice on the side, 10/10. Would highly recommend.
Was there for a private event. They provided a world class service and hosted us with quality. Food and drinks were amazing. Thanks to all shaking crab crew for making a fun and celebrate night filled with joy and laughs.
A Hidden Gem/treasure if you will. A small edifice but family oriented, kind and friendly atmosphere. I went for the first time and was greeted by Alice who was absolutely Amazing from beginning to end. I went for the seafood boil with Alaskan crab, lobster tails in garlic butter sauce. I highly recommend this place to anyone worth the drive and money. The drinks to boot REALLY TASTY! I enjoyed while I was there Mango Mojitos! I recommend as well you definitely have an excellent dining experience! I will definitely Be BACK!! Alice thank you for all your help and being extra attentive!
