The seafood boil was 60$ for two of them and you might as well just go to the name brand place cause it’s the same price. It’s not that great for seafood but people say the wings are good here!

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.

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.

Food is very unseasoned and overcooked. I got a choose two with snow crabs and shrimp. I would not recommend. It was very quick service which could be the issue. But it was a big disappointment when I’ve wanted to try this place for so long

Please try the food here if u are a seafood fan, the king crabs are covered in shaking sauce which will burst your mouth with all kinds of flavor. Try and you will definitely come back for more. ?
