I really liked this place. The owner was very nice, I loved her energy. They didn’t have the crab we wanted because of delivery problem due to COVID but what we could get was really good. I defiantly plan on going back.

A crab shack with no crab literally came to this hole in the wall restaurant and they said they didn't have crab I suggest they take the advertisement down

I did not go there. I went to the check cashing neighboring place to meet someone.

Very disappointed. Spent $120.00 for seafood for my Super Bowl Party. The shrimp were so mushy you could not even peel them without destroying the meat. Also received a very minimal about of sauce. Have been a loyal customer but will. E changing now.

If you like water down sauce on your shrimp come here. We ordered shrimp with "Cajun sauce" and the sauce had no flavor and didn't even stick to the shrimp. Very bad experience. Won't come here again.

I got 2 whole crabs 1 lemon pepper and 1 garlic. Both crabs were extremely over cooked to the point the meat was mush. No flavor on the inside of the crab at all. About the worse crab place I've ever been to!!!! I will never come back again!

My husband and i went today...we not only waited over 30mins but the food is over prized! It was good but not good enough for them to have charged us so much! for just three things! Also they serve other food like a buffet but i nottice its out in the open and flies where just roaming around i found that disgusting! never going back.

The whole bag including the one piece of lobster, most of the shrimp and most of the crawfish were not fresh. Even the sausages does not seemed cooked. It's also very soft and mushy. We paid $90 for mostly dead and mushy seafood. Don't go there. Beware! It's not worth your money. The only saving grace was the garlicky butter sauce. That's it. It seemed like that's what we really paid for. And the customer service sucks. The wait person even forgot to give us a table napkins and my salad that I ordered. This was a huge disappointment to me & my husband. We love seafood and we go everywhere as far as Monterey just to have seafood dinner. We thought we found our little "go to" corner where we can enjoy here in our own backyard. Too bad.
The star is simply for the food. The service though pleasant in an area where so many Cajun opportunities are this leaves a lot to be desired: - the serving of garlic noodles for $5.95 is sad and there were tough and not strong or juicy in its garlic flavor - the crawfish had ZERO sauce in the bag. So much so my corn had no Cajun juice it was just boiled crab. Incredibly said.

Should of read reviews before going, could have avoided a bad experience and waste of money. Had Dungeness Crab with butter and garlic, was so water log couldn't taste the butter or garlic, crab also was not fresh meat crumbed at $34.00 don't know who's market price they went by?? Home made clam chowder?? Campbell chunky clam chowder taste a whole lot better and is a lot closer to home made than what was served! Glass of water had an ant in it. As the other negative reviews I will not be back. They need to stick to Filipino cuisine and definitely take the Cajun off their menu.

The food was terrible. Shrimp wasn't even temperature hot. No flavor. The Cajun fries was sweet and soggy with oil. The clam chowder tasted like it was made with unfiltered water. Will give it a second chance and try it out again. Not any time soon, still going through self therapy. I know one thing for sure, their lunch buffet is pretty good.

This place sucks the food looks old and tastes old the service here is not great I repeatedly had to ask for my food but she was too busy helping other customers when I was there first for the price of the food it is not worth I must say if you need a crab shack find a different. One I would not recommend

Welcome Alden's Crab Shake! It's the new addition to the well-known Filipino restaurant, Manila Garden. Alden's Crab Shake had grand opening last Tuesday and I am so happy I was able to try it. Opened from 3PM-9PM with weekends as well, this place offers reasonable priced seafood and they make it any way you like. 1ST STEP: Pick your seafood: Shrimp, Crawfish, King Crab Legs and even delicious Dungeness Crab. I love that each bag comes with 2 corns, 2 potatoes and 4 pieces of sausages. Yummy! 2nd STEP: Choose your seasoning (All sauces are prepared with butter and Cajun spices). They offer many different seasonings ranging from: Cajun Garlic, Original Cajun, Cajun Lemon Pepper, Cajun Garlic and Lemon Pepper. If you want it plain, they can also do that as well. 3rd STEP: Then you move on to change your spice level. Since I am pretty much a wimp when it comes to spice, I usually go with mild. The spice level goes all the way to "Super Spicy" good luck with that. They also serve shrimp rolls (delicious)! Even offer other sides that include: Fried Shrimp, Fried Calamari and oysters. BEVERAGES: They sale everything from beer bottles, wine and soda and coffee. BUSINESS IS EXPANDING? Yes! Manila Garden is NOT going anywhere! They will continue to run as a business, however, they are looking to expand their business and offer different types of cuisines for the community. With that, they will be opening a Cajun restaurant that will take place ONLY FOR DINNER. The new restaurant will be called: Alden's Crab Shake. This will be in the same establishment, ran by the same owners as Manila Garden. Alden's Crab will be sit-down order and no buffet and will be available from the hours of 3PM to later in the afternoon. So right after Manila Garden closes, Alden's Crab Shake will then open. Sounds a little confusing and to be honest, I have never seen a business do this, I am happy to see how this is. I love that they are adding a restaurant and look forward to trying out the new business! Overall, I had a wonderful time and I am so happy for the restaurant!
