Shaking Crab

Haven't had cajun food in a long time and tried this place tonight. You could either create your own or get a premade combo. However we don't really eat corn or potatoes. We got 2 lbs of shrimp with sausage, a side of sweet potatoe fries, and garlic bread. The sauce we got was atomic (all sauces mixed) and medium spice. The medium spice REALLY hits the back of your throat so beware! lol.We asked for extra lime and they gave HELLA! The shrimps were really good and so was the sauce. Bag came out piping hot. Would love to try their garlic noodles next time though. The restaurant is a good size, and plenty of seating on a Thursday night. The servers come around and ask if we need water and are attentive. However the lighting here is so dark.

I was truly disappointed by the food and the service here. The server rushed through our entire order, didn't check on us, then rushed to give us the bill and grabbed the bill and tip quickly. The seafood was overcooked and the sauce had no flavor. All of my mussels were completely separated from their shells and the food left a rubbery, nasty after-taste in my mouth for hours.We ordered the dynamite sauce which is advertised as spicy, but there was no spice at all (It might as well should have been mild sauce!), and when I asked the server for a small ramekin of XX sauce, she told me that I had to buy a container of the sauce, which is six extra dollars. I'm convinced that the only reason why this place is still in business is because there are no other seafood boil places near the area (which is why I picked it, unfortunately)...

Located right around the Westlake shopping center, so plenty of parking. Well-lit and spacious inside, and bathrooms are clean as well. Service is fast and friendly.The food: got 2lb shrimp (garlic butter/atomic), garlic noodles, and 6pc oysters. The shrimp were 50/50, half of them being bouncy while half being mushy. Garlic butter sauce was good, but atomic sauce was very pepper heavy. I added sausages to my shrimp and they were super tasty! The oysters were big, but not the best tasting. Garlic noodle portion was huge, but could use a little more flavor. They gave gloves, bibs, and a mountain of lime which was nice! Total after tip was around ~$90 for two people, which isn't bad for Cajun (Shrimp was about $20/lb, oysters were $15).I'd go again if I was in the area and had a strong craving for Cajun, otherwise not a must-go.

My daughter wanted seafood boil for dinner tonight. So she found Shaking Crab nearby us. Theres a big parking lot across the street and a limited front parking spaces. The place was crowded but we put our name on the list at the front door. She ordered the C2 platter, garlic butter sauce, and explosion spice level. I got the C4 platter with garlic sauce, and mild level. What's cool is that we can just pour everything on to the table and eat from there. But be ready for a hot mess. Overall, the flavor was not bad. Once the food was delivered, the waiter never once return to ask how we're doing (we needed a new glove because the crab poked through), and never offered to refill the water. Other than the poor customer service, the food wasn't bad.

Service was pretty good considering that they were busy. My daughter, husband and decided on some crab boil. We found this place and decided to give it a try. My daughter had the C2 explosion garlic butter. My husband and I shared the C4 mild garlic butter. The crab, shrimp and clams were good. The crawfish were tiny and not so good, but it's understandable since they're not in season. Cost was about $200 for the three of us which was pretty hefty. I'm not a big fan and didn't enjoy all the work I had to put in to eat lol My daughter loved it though

The food here is absolutely delicious, though it's definitely on the oily and garlicky side. I assume you know that if you're coming here. I tried the shrimp, clams, potato, and sausage, and everything was packed with flavor and steaming hot out of the bag. It's definitely a messy experience (you'll need a bib), but that's part of the fun. I choose to wear the bib and gloves when I eat, but you could go without but it will just be messy. Next time, I'm planning to try the crab and mussels

most of the fish that we got did not taste fresh and was super fishy. The sauce that everything came in wasn't the best. The garlic noodles only had a little bit of garlic in it. The sausage seemed super hard and rubbery. The shrimp was the only thing that was decent. The service was pretty good. But based off the flavor I wouldn't come back

Food overall was pretty good. We got the Cajun butter seasoning and it was tasty. I definitely needed to add salt to my food for a deeper flavor. We also got the chicken wings which I thought was super delicious and had a nice crisp to it. The service was great! Our waitstaff were super kind and attentive. If you're looking for a local seafood restaurant to try, this wouldn't be a bad place to come to eat.

I've always been hesitant to try this place and I'm mad at myself for waiting this long! We ordered C3 and got the Alaskan crab legs with the atomic sauce. The sauce was well seasoned. The shrimp was slightly overcooked but not a big deal. We also got the fish with mango salad. It was good but not super amazing. The staff here is kind and constantly checked on us. I will be back for sure.

I thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp and mussels, as well as the garlic noodles and Cajun fries but the seasoning in the bag could've been more pungent. The only time it was very good was when you got a bunch of garlic onto a piece of seafood.
