I never in my life have had such a terrible experience at a restaurant before. I would not recommend anybody come here , the service and hospitality was so disappointing. We asked for a manager after getting frustrated with our service and he never came to our table to apologize or speak to us about the situation. He instead decided to leave the premises , they were so unprofessional and I plan on never coming back. This experience truly ruined my night and we spent so much money just to have this horrible experience. They had a server off the clock come and talk to us , so unbelievable.

Waitress was terrible she messed up the order and was rude. Will never go there again! Her name is Catherine. She also brought cold food. The best waitress is Jasmine she took control of the situation and really helped a lot!

Review for Shakin' Crab – Manassas, VA
I was truly disappointed with my recent visit. I ordered two orders of calamari—10 pieces each—for a total of 20 pieces. For just $2 more, I could’ve added fries, but I declined, expecting a decent portion of seafood for the price. Unfortunately, what I received fell short.
The fried tilapia looked more like chicken strips—definitely not what I expected. The soft-shell crabs didn’t have any shell at all, which raised some red flags. I didn’t have the time to weigh my seafood platter, but I strongly suspect I was shorted by a few pounds.
I even spoke with the person behind the bar to confirm the portion size of the calamari, and they assured me it was correct. Still, it didn’t add up for what I paid.
First impressions matter, and this one missed the mark. For the money spent, I expected better quality, portion size, and presentation.

Its a great place for seafood in the area. Prices are good and not overpriced. I ordered fried oysters with cole slaw. This wasn't very good, but the cole slaw is great and a big portion. Next was the fried shrimp basket and it is spot on fantastic!! Big shrimp with a nice batter and very tasty. BIG order of fries that come with it. Atmosphere is neat with s seaside flair. The place was crowded. Most orders were for the seafood boil and the yummy aroma of spices and garlic all around. Next time that's what I'm getting. Great wait staff too. Give it a try.

Server was very sweet and attentive. The atmosphere was as expected. The food came in decent time and flavors was as expected. I knocked off stars (kinda want to knock it down more) because I ordered shrimp with the head on in my bag and the shrimp was not cleaned. Not sure if it’s normal because I asked for the head on. Either way, it’s gross.
The food is good but there are inappropriate drawings in the restroom.

We had a large party and received excellent service here. The vibe is great and if you are local be sure to check the packets of coupons as they usually have one in there that is a good deal. The seafood was good though the sauce left a little to be desired for me personally - that being said, if you are interested in having a seafood boil this place is certainly worth checking out.
First time visiting. We each got the special #1 and the shrimp was delicious, crabs were cooked perfectly, and hush puppies were the BEST EVER!!! Excellent service too. Will definitely be back again!
