Shaking Crab (Williamsburg)

Bill was $300+ which wasn’t surprising. They put the 20% tip as service charge. I would’ve actually tipped more but whatever. If they’re good with it, I am. I gave it 4 stars because the employees were cool, friendly and good vibes. I wasn’t real hungry so I didn’t complain about the crab legs. Everything tasted really good. Shrimp, potatoes and such except the crab. The complaint I had was I didn’t feel it was a whole 2 lbs, claws missing from the cluster and they were really small. Constant reminder when I go to these places why I do my own crab boils/steams. The crab is just never cooked right. Undercooked or over cooked, the meat sticks inside the shell and doesn’t slide out. Probably wouldn’t go back because of this and would expect a little more shrimp to counter this and some sausag

I’ve ordered from this location many times over the years through uber eats. Each time has gotten slightly worst however this time was it for me. I wanted to treat my son to seafood for Christmas dinner and what we received was inedible. I ordered the seafood galore which didn’t come with the corn and potatoes like advertised. There was barely any sauce. The sauce was so reduced that it just tasted salty. The shrimp were so overcooked that they were falling apart. The crawfish was old and the meat was black. I also ordered extra snow crab with my order of clams and the crab legs were skinny and barely had meat. Extremely disappointing considering the order costs $110. This was the last chance and I’ll never order for this establishment again.

This place was so cute, they had an amazing drink menu and the staff was super friendly! We ordered their lobster mac and cheese and a seafood boil a-la-cart and had it covered in their sizzle Cajun sauce. This was the best lobster mac and cheese I've ever had usually it is a rip off but every bite I took had lobster in it, it was worth the price for sure and the Mac and cheese sauce was so good perfect roux base. As for the boil, in our order we did a full size of muscles and half of them were closed, other than that the rest of the seafood was perfect. I loved the fresh garlic and the spices in the cajun sauce whenever I was able to scoop it up. My only complaint was that there was too much oil in the sauce. All the flavor was at the bottom of the pain and oil on top so it was just oil f

Shaking Crab (Williamsburg) was EXCEPTIONAL! It’s really all you need to thoroughly enjoy a quality seafood boil. Great and I can’t stress this enough: GREAT service/staff presence! They check on you thoroughly throughout your meal. Drinks were GREAT! Food was GREAT! (We went with the ‘Regular’ heat level which was still just enough & flavorful. For all of the key things that matter in a great dining experience, they check them off. Would definitely come again!

My partner and I love this location. We’ve been to the other two locations and this one is SO much better. We spoke to the owner and he mentioned that he still makes his own sauces, rather than buy them already prepared. That’s one of the main reasons we love this location, but the service, drink, and environment really make it awesome. We loook forward to celebrating valentines with you guys! P.S. seafood boil is the perfect date as your hands are so messy you can’t pick up your phone—great for rich conversation.
