Shaking Crab (Boston Common)

Loved this place came from Colorado! And will be back again just for this place!!!!

Our waiter, Shiggy, lowkey made the experience even better. Food was hot, fresh, and did not lack in flavor. It was like an like nothing else I’ve had before.

Didn't eat here. Only ordered 3 cocktails which had NO alcohol at all in them. Surly a Mai Tai should have some alcohol in it! Just mixed juice in their kitchen downstairs. Should have realized this when there's no bar or evidence of alcohol in this place. Please paying $$ for juice is just WRONG!. don't think I'd eat there either, after the reviews I read.

Crawfish noodle was v good!

The food was very good! We got the seafood steam bags and they were excellent! Recommend the shaken Cajun sauce! Our server Nakkia was awesome and attentive! 10/10!

Seriously, they left the first floor empty on purpose and made us wait half an hour? And they didn't even ask if we had a reservation?

Seriously overpriced, plate for “two” costs 96$ and the size of it is just about good enough for one person. Shrimp was super soggy, crab legs were great, lobster tasted old. Atmosphere is extremely mediocre for being Boston next to the park. It’s as if an old apartment was turned into a room with a kitchen in the back. Only pleasant thing was the server - she was very nice and friendly. Left with a 178$ bill - could have spent it at a much better restaurant. - don’t waste your money this place is garbage.

It was my first time eating this kind of seafood and it was an experience: it tastes good, for sure, but it's quite complicated to eat if you don't know what you're doing.

The food is outstanding…you would be licking your fingers. The restaurant though needs serious renovation. Grease over the stairs, toilets are not so clean. Stiff staircase not convenient

My experience for shaking crab was phenomenal. Price point amount of food size quantity freshness I ordered online. It wasn't ready when I got there but it was ready very fast. I give it a 9.8. let's go Boston

Really horrible garlic noodles. Like it was just soy sauce. Also pretty overpriced and sauce was very oily/watery, not enough spices. Go to Boiling Crab instead! Wait time was also crazy, there were sooo many empty tables and still had to wait 30 min :| Dirty lobby and gross bathroom too. Server was really nice though and food was pretty OK overall!

I really want to like this place. But all the shrimps are slimy and mushy. Not fresh. The portion is fine. However, the add-on broccoli only 2-3 small pieces. Price is reasonable. Service and atmosphere are great. Wouldn't repeat.
