Pretty good portions, but the flavors were just okay to me. I liked the calamari better than the shrimp boil.

Friendly staff. Delicious food. Maybe slightly expensive for the casual vibes of the place, but worth it if you’re looking to feast on fresh seafood.

Can't go wrong with seafood in a bag! I ordered the snow crab and enjoyed it with garlic butter. It tasted amazing.

Came here with my girlfriend for dinner on Saturday night while visiting Boston. First things first, the food was amazing and cooked to perfection. One of the best seafood trays we’ve ever had. Great variety of seafood, flavor was bursting, and the portions were just right. Second was the service. The restaurant seemed understaffed coming in, but once we were situated, Dao and Vien took super great care of us and maintained the whole floor without missing a beat. They were super attentive, professional, really friendly, & personable. I highly recommend this place for any seafood lovers visiting Boston. If you plan on visiting, place a reservation in advance. If its a busier night, please be considerate and patient with the staff. Thanks for the great dinner guys! Much love from NJ

Delicious experience!! We had deep ocean seafood boil, which includes snow crab, lobster tail, shrimps, potatoes and corn. Shaking sauce is awesome. Clam chowder is good too.

The clam chowda’ and lobsta’ roll were excellent, customer service can use a little improvement. Downstairs was closed so we ate upstairs. I’ll definitely give Shaking Crab another shot.!!

Delicious Shrimp Boil. We got medium Shaking shrimp flavor and Barlic! Both were delicious! Their coleslaw and Cajun fries are great too! Really recommend this place for seafood lovers! Staff were nice too.

One of the Best Seafood restaurants in the Boston area. Awesome drinks except the margarita. The food was amazing. Cajun was the best seasoning. Crab, Lobster and Shrimp are too good. Corn and bread with Cajun seasoning is the best thing you will ever do to your taste buds. A little expensive but definitely worth it. I would recommend visiting this place. Thanks.
