Seafood was good. The potato and corn not so much. Potato tasted reheated, and the corn was still hard

My wife got a soda. The cup had previous food on the rim. We showed the waitress. She took the glass. And brought back the same glass with the same stuff still stuck to it. That combined with the over abundance of fries with mediocre seafood? No. We will not be going back.

We went for dinner, food was good but as we were leaving both ladies at the front desk didn’t look up from their phones to thank us for coming in, not a good look as people are coming and going. Priorities should be customer service.

Our waitress was great, food tasted good however we got a mild case of food poisoning from this location. We all had the snow crab and crawfish so not sure which caused it but our whole party had those specific items. Lots of nausea and projectile liquid diarrhea, no vomiting but still very concerning for those who might have health problems that would exacerbate the symptoms. Will be reporting to health department and please be cautious eating the food from here.

Absolutely amazing food. Very good prices. Beer is cheap. Services was great. The flavor of the sauce in the crab boil was off the hook. This was a great seafood experience. Absolutely get the green mussels. I loved the food and the service.

I didn’t expect to be so impressed by a seafood spot that’s not exactly near an ocean, but wow, Shaking Seafood knocked it out of the park! Normally, we stick to Capt Loui’s, but after hearing rave reviews from friends, we decided to give this place a try—and I’m so glad we did.
First off, parking is a breeze with their free lot right off the main road. No endless circling for a spot—just park and go. Walking inside, the atmosphere is vibrant and fun. There’s a long bar, plenty of TVs for sports fans, and a lively vibe that makes it feel like a perfect hangout spot for friends and family alike.
The menu offers something for everyone—whether you’re in the mood for a classic fried seafood basket, a flavorful Cajun boil, or even something non-seafood like a cheesesteak. We ordered the Cajun boil, and while the sauce was a little less flavorful than other places I’ve been to, it was still delicious and hit the spot. The fried scallops, though? Amazing. They were so juicy and tender. And those fries? Crispy and golden perfection.
The service was another highlight—our waiter was so friendly and efficient, making sure we had everything we needed without even asking.
All in all, Shaking Seafood exceeded my expectations and I will certainly to go back. Next time, I’ll definitely turn up the spice on the Cajun boil to see how it compares. If you’re in the area and craving seafood, check it out!

We came to the restaurant with my family. We requested no sausages. They brought it with sausages and they took it back to change it and it came back with sausages again. And they told us the manager Ryan is too busy to come out. Very bad customer service

Regrettably, unlike its competitor, the crab legs were very thin, and the flavor was mediocre, to say the least. I made a note that the corn was frozen, not fresh corn. The potatoes tasted like dirt, and the manager told me it was perhaps because of the potato type, even though it is the same potato used in other locations. My son, husband, and I forced ourselves to eat what we purchased; however, it wasn’t the best. Our waiter was great, but that’s about it. There was a lot of dust and spiderwebs you can tell it has not been maintained especially on the chandeliers. and the shades were dirty and splattered with Food; it was not where you wanted to eat. Additionally, we ordered an appetizer of fried calamari, which was very much so greasy and unfortunately very very disgusting and cold..
