    Special #2

    Service (*) Food (*) - we might have been lucky but the shrimp, crab, crawfish, corn were all cooked perfectly. I would say, better than Chasin' Tails recent quality. Environment (*) Price (*) - This is our new go to spot. Sorry Chasin' Tails. Overall (*) - need to return to make sure that we just didn't get lucky with the excellent food quality.

    Food is really good. Been coming here for a while. Flavor and spice is good and not watered down like a lot of spots. Came out hot and the servers are really nice. Cute spot for a date night or to bring children. Just be careful walking and don't wear heels ... floor is really slippery (I guess all that butter and sauce lol). But the place is clean.

    Not 1lb of crawfish! Not even close!

    I am never ordering from Shakin Crab ever again! I had a feeling like the amount of crawfish that I received was too small of a portion to be 1lb, so I weighed it on my food scale at home. And it's not even "just under" 1lb- It's not even close! To me that is totally unacceptable! Next time I'll be ordering from Long Time No Sea or Chasin Tails.

    The reviews on Yelp caught my eye to try this place out. My boyfriend loves seafood -- basically grew up eating crabs all his life and said he wanted to give this place a try due to good reviews. Idk if we were lucky or what, but the week we went, they had some better deals the night we went. One of their specials was 1/2 lb snow crab legs, shrimp, sausage, corn and a potato for I think $29.99? And then we also got another special which was mussels, clams, sausage, and corn for $19.99. They both came in a big steamer bag. Then we got a fried oyster basket which comes with any side, so we chose hush puppies. We loved all the food!! It was great. We asked for their house sauce and mild spice, and it was very tasty. Some of their clams were overcooked, but not too bad. Oysters and crabs were perfect. I knocked off a star because the specials of the week were great, but I'm not sure id pay the price for their regular menu. Depends on your decision of flavor and quantity :)

    I had just flown in to visit my daughter's and I was in the mood for some mud bugs. My daughter told me that there was a place that had just opened up close to her so I called in my order on our way from the airport. The restaurant is clean and spacious. We picked up our food and took it home. The hush puppies were good. Not too sweet. I had ordered my crawfish Cajun, medium heat. I was a bit disappointed in the flavor. It really more Cajun seasoning. It didn't have that zing that Cajun seasoning has. The crawfish were a decent size though. Next time I will eat in so that I can have them adjust the seasoning if need be.

    The steam bags are pretty solid. I got the special #1. When ordering online i was asked if i wanted to replace 1/2 dozen sausage with shrimp. I opted out but i regretted it. Had way more sausage than shrimp in the bag and one cluster of crab legs. The snow crab legs were delicious though and you could tell they were cooked properly because the meat pulled right out the shell. My partner got the king crab leg bag and loved them. It comes with one potato and one corn. Hush puppies are great also.

It's a little thinner than a traditional New England chowder, but much more flavorful. We saved room for dessert and loved the key lime pie. We had our eyes on the pumpkin bread pudding, but they had unfortunately run out (maybe next time!). A huge shoutout to our bartender, Jesica. She whipped up an Old Fashioned based specifically on my flavor profile requests, and it was spot on. She made excellent recommendations throughout our meal, as well. Service at the bar was really fantastic. The only downside to the evening was our seating; we were at the bar right by the door. It got a little drafty and we caught some cigarette smoke whenever the door opened. Not a dealbreaker, but we'll definitely look to sit further inside next time. We will be back!"

It was the standard white queso that I commonly associate with the Midwest because for the longest I couldn't get it on the East Coast, but it's not queso fundido. They offer Coke from a fountain, which is a huge plus. And the salsa was really good. The chips and salsa were free, so they absolutely get bonus points for that. It was a random Saturday evening when I came in, and they were setting up for what looked like live music and a fun night. The service was really good and parking was easy since it's in a plaza.

Yes, there's an 18% gratuity for parties of 5 or more, but it feels fair for the quality and service.

I've never seen this at other crab boils. The ramen is so tasty in the garlic butter sauce. It was my favorite part and I kept going back for more! We ordered another platter of seafood and were stuffed! The service can be improved. Our waitress came by a few times but not enough to get refills on our drinks or other things we needed.
