I have not found a restaurant to excite my palate the way shaking crab did today in a long time. The food was truly divine. It was so good even though it was spicy my kids still ate it.

This place is amazing, the food, the staff, all of it. As someone who had never really been a seafood person, I was nervous but wanted to try something different. I ordered snow crab clusters and shrimp with potatoes and corn and the medium Cajun sauce. AMAZING, also tried the fried corn which was lovely as well. Very generous portions and the staff were so kind and thorough! I had never been to a seafood boil like this so the staff helped explain everything super well and helped make recommendations to place my order. All I have to say is I will 100% be coming back and I am now addicted to crab.

Extremely disappointed! New England has some of the best seafood restaurants and access to fresh seafood and this was NOT it! The service was great and they did offer another item on the menu ,as I was unsatisfied. Very underwhelming experience.

The Shaking Crab is a fun place to get your hands or gloves dirty.  Your provided a little trash bag for your scraps and a bib with plenty of napkins. I ordered the  create your own bag and I had lobster tail, crawdads,  and snow crab legs …

How much does the plate go for

You'll spend about $50 to $100. I think you can cook your own seafood at home and enjoy it more with your family.

Why isn't the pictures named so we can know what to order! Pictures need some life to them. Looks bland

What I said was the store needs to label what the meals are because there are different prices for different meals!

Not of you don't get crab. Of you stick to the more run of the mill stuff like shrimp, clams, and mussles, then you won't break the bank. The prices jump exponentially when you add in crab or lobster. A pound of clams and shrimp will run you under $15 and is more than enough
