The service and the food at Shaking crab in Hell's Kitchen was excellent!!! Loved the amazing seafood sauces , the garlic noodles were amazing! Lots of fun. Easy access to the theatre district if you're seeing a show.
Man this place is so amazing!! The staff were amazing and hospitality was amazing !!! I didn't get the staffs name but they were extremely kind man I loved it . And the food was sooooo tasty !! I recommend this spot 150%

Mussels were rubbery, shrimp, and lobster was overcooked. Potatoes and corn didn't have any taste garlic noodles were mid at best. Strawberry lemonade was the best thing here.

It was surprisingly small inside but the staff is very welcoming at one point they took our coats and put them in plastic bags so that they wouldn't get dirty I thought that was really considerate of them. The drinks are really strong which is not to my liking but my partner really enjoyed them. The food comes out really quickly everything was hot very tasty and well seasoned. I thought the lobster tail was a little bit overcooked but that's about the only criticism I have for the food.
ALWAYS a hit. Love the seafood boil here, the Cajun seasoning is a must. We got half portions of shrimp, mussel, and crab cluster, along with Mac and cheese and it was good for 2. Mac and cheese was deliciously creamy.

The establishment looks clean and the hosts were very kind and helpful. I ordered the catfish basket instead of the seafood boil. My only gripe is that the catfish was fried in what seemed to be a beer batter, like fish & chips style, instead of a fish fry. I would come here again and try the seafood boil. It smelled really good from my table.

The food was subpar at best. If the lack of flavor wasn’t enough, the fact that there was hair in my food really takes the cake. When I told the waitress there was hair in my food, she made excuses saying that the chef has really short hair. On top of that, she tried to insinuate that it was mine. My hair is not straight and it’s not black. Like come on... and I was only given a 10% discount - whatever. To top it all off she literally spilled my partner’s water cup all over their phone when she came to clean up our table. Didn’t even offer an apology and the only acknowledgment was “it’s okay.” No actually it’s not - the phone now has water damage. I can’t believe this place has such high reviews. I am extremely disappointed. Don’t get me started on the calamari if you can even call it that! Yuck! Do better!

Their prices do not match the amount of food you receive. My bag only contained about 10 shrimps which I didn't understand. But beside the little bit of food that was served the food was great! Service was amazing they kept checking if we were good with everything and was very kind.

I've been in New York for a week. I've tried many different places and this is the first time I got exactly what I ordered and it was not only really good but also more food then I expected.
