The Shaking Crab is the other half of Wings Mania: two restaurants for the price of one! They share a cash register, kitchen and menu but have two separate signs and entrances. An interesting business model The seafood boil is popular and reasonably priced. There was a steady stream of customers. The atmosphere was very plain and simple, no music, no WiFi, not very adequate air conditioning but it does the trick for a seafood boil. A lot of the customers seem to be returning regulars, always a good sign! Pro Tip They have a variety of smoothies and they are quite good. The avocado smoothie is my personal favourite but the mango is quite good too.

I've read the reviews, and everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Mine is: ITS GREAT! I've eaten here several times, always TO GO, and its always good! Had it for dinner tonight, and it was GREAT! I had 1/2 lb Clams, 1/2 lb Mussels, 1/2 lb Scallops. Came with corn and Potatoes. Yes, the potatoes were larger than you would expect in a boil, but so what?!? The were still cook to perfection and tasty! Will continue to go back!!! Sorry, didn't get a before pic, was to concerned with DIGGIN IT! LOL! 🙂 Also, I got the Shaking Sauce, Medium.... SOOO GOOD!!!

Not very fancy, however the BEST spicy head-on shrimp I have had in years ! And I travel a lot and only found equivalent in Atlanta & Orlando. Plus I normally don’t go for frozen corn but theirs was actually good.

So if you going to the shaking crab the entrance and the service is next door at wings... I'm not sure if it's become because I came on weekday or if it's because the Crab side is closed. Anyway it was very fast and very clean and very good! I got a pound of blue crab plus half a pound of clams plus half a pound of crawfish! It's a typical boil it comes with pieces of corn and a few potatoes in the sauce you want. I chose spicy hot Cajun! And it was the bomb! Cost is very fair! 27$ for all this amazing. Bathroom is clean. Lots of to go traffic in but I can't imagine taking a seafood boil to go what a mess! Bring wipes! Soooo good only one thing I'm missing. My sweetheart honey bear.

I gave the Shaking Crab 5 stars because I rated it based on its category. If I rated against a Red Lobster type of restaurant, it would only get 3 stars. But you automatically know when you decide to go, it's not going to be a Red Lobster experience. So it's not fair to rate it that way. This was an amazing experience for a small retail restaurant. The food was very flavorful and, in my opinion, appropriately priced. I can't wait to go back.

So I did enjoy the food for the most part. Until it got salty salty. The customer service just wasn’t there for me. Use lower sodium seasonings. I got the boil with crab legs shrimp and extra potatoes. The extra potatoes i received were bigger then the ones I had included. The customer service experience could of been slightly better. I had the 3 blend seasoning.

When I order the food I pick it up 30 minutes later and it is never ready. I ordered snow crab and shrimp. All three seasonings hot. The seasoning taste extremely hot and I couldn’t taste the other flavors. The crablegs were overcooked and mushy. They gave me one overly huge potato that was so big it look like it was on steroids. I’m not eating no potato that is the same size of a Cantaloupe. Ridiculous. I don’t think I’m going back.
