Shaking Boils
Snow Crab Legs
Our most popular boil offering, snow crab is named for it's snowy white color when cooked and boasts a sweet, subtly briny flavor. The texture is firm and fibrous, easily shredding into pieces.
Easy-Peel Shrimp
These easy peel shrimp are de-veined and have the back of their shells open. More Flavor, Less Mess.
Shrimp
Peel & Eat Shrimp served head-off. We source only large shrimp to give you the most meat for your peel.
Dungeness Crab Clusters
A delicacy caught from the coast of Washington, these crabs have a delicate flavor, texture and a slightly sweet taste.
Mussels
Tender and slight chewiness, mussels typically have a mild taste that can take on the spices and herbs of our boil.
Twin Lobster Tails
Just the tails, and make it two. Don't worry, we'll use the claw meat for our lobster rolls.
Crawfish
A Louisiana favorite, crawfish are like miniature lobsters. Served live when in-season, crawfish tails are plump and soft like a pillow with a naturally neutral flavor that soaks up all the herbs and spices in our boil
Clams
Chewy, plump with a slight saltiness

I ordered over the phone and immediately on the phone I knew I called the right place because the man on the phone was super nice and very patient.
When I went in for my pickup he was nice as soon as I came in and made sure I had everything I needed to depart. Loved it.

This place was completely empty when my co-worker and I came in @ 5:30pm, and only 4 other people came in before we left at 7pm. The food came out on this robot-server, which was cool! I wasn't impressed by the taste of the food-I like Hook & Reel better. And, $4 for a can of Canada Dry Ginger Ale is ridiculous!

I walked into an empty restaurant on a Saturday night around 7:30pm. Immediately I googled reviews. I don't normally go by everyone's reviews, so I gave it a try.... it was fantastic!! Food was hot, fresh and flavorful! Absolutely loved the Shaking Crab sauce, would def recommend. Also, being empty made it a relaxing and enjoyable environment, plus didn't have to wait long for our food at all!! Going back real soon
