Shaking Crab - seafood galore with added eggs and extra shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Foxborough, Massachusetts

This wasn't what I expected. First it was packed - so glad we had reservations - they take them on Resy! It's much smaller and casual than I expected. It's has more of a take out feel than a sit down restaurant- but it is a sit down restaurant. The service was super slow - took a while for anyone to come over - we noticed so ordered everything all at once. Took a while to get drinks. We ordered apps - they came with our main food - that always irks me! We had a mix of boils and fried food and the boils were way ahead of the other food. Also terrible when you're in a group. The food quality and flavor were good! But service and atmosphere wasn't something I would run back to.... It's got potential...but needs to be a run a bit better - seems like they do a lot of takeout and my guess is they let that make your in restaurant experience not as good. The none seafood options are pretty basic - but doable. No pics of other stuff, because I already had my gloves on and was too messy to take pics once the other stuff came! read more

this was the worst shit I have ever had in my life. long strands of hair all up in my food, sauce is watery as fuck. and the food isn't even good. worst quality food I've ever had and the most I've ever paid. customer service is trash. read more

Don't waste your money! The food and the service isn't worth it. They seem like they don't want to work and provide the bare minimum customer service. read more

Shaking Crab - Seafood Near Me - Foxborough, Massachusetts

Went there yesterday for an early dinner/late lunch and they were out of snow crab, king crab, lobster and shrimp. Not much left to order, so we left. read more

This was my first experience at The Shaking Crab, and unfortunately it will also be my last at this location. From the moment we were seated, our waitress was not welcoming or accommodating. She never checked in to see how our meal was or asked if we needed anything, including drink refills. When we politely asked if it was possible to try a small sample of the sauces before ordering, we were told the kitchen "wouldn't be willing to do that" and that it was a rule. However, on my ride home, I called another Shaking Crab location and was told they do provide small samples for customers to try, which made the response at this location even more frustrating and inconsistent. Additionally, within my direct field of view, I noticed what appeared to be a kitchen employee using his phone, wearing AirPods, and not wearing gloves in a food service environment. I'm not sure whether he was actively cooking or on break, but either way it was extremely unprofessional and honestly made me uncomfortable thinking about how the food was being handled. As for the food itself, the seafood was overcooked, and the portions were not reasonable for the prices being charged. To make matters worse, I observed multiple waitresses sitting at a table doing nothing, when they could have been assisting customers and ensuring everyone was having a pleasant dining experience. Overall, this visit was very disappointing. For a first-time Shaking Crab customer, this experience left a bad impression, and I will not be returning to this location. read more

I got the lobster tail and I paid $18 for a tiny piece of lobster meat with nothing else. Our to go orders were put into bags and looked super gross. They forgot my coleslaw. They didn't put any corn or anything else just a little tail. It was absolutely despicable and when I asked them to check the order, they said that's what it was! Never going there again. Wanted to warn others. read more

Shaking Crab - This is the $18 lobster tail I paid for. Are you for real? No potatoes, no corn no coleslaw no nothing. Scrawny piece of meat. - Seafood Near Me - Foxborough, Massachusetts

Love this place and the staff is great! The food is always delicious and very much worth your money.

So def super casual atmosphere, not much personality. We found the menu options, all you can eat etc very confusing. I was with four people and we had to ask them to explain it several times. It's a great deal if you have a huge appetite and can eat fast as they give you 90 min and anything left you have to pay for..additionally, everyone at your table has to order the all you can eat or nobody can get. Weird. The food was good and the waitress was nice . read more

Small place but we got right in on a Saturday evening. My lobster cheese fries were delicious except hardly any lobster at all. Very disappointing. My hubs and son had boils and said they were good. It was within walking distance of our hotel so that was a bonus. Service was okay, nothing spectacular. read more

Yall ever heard of seasoning smh 2 pounds of shrimp and crab legs tasted nothing smh.

Terrible service and very expensive food. Would not recommend this place. Definitely not worth the money!

Wanted to take a moment to praise Hailey @ the Foxboro location as she continues to impress us with her white glove customer service & breath-of-fresh-air disposition! Yes, we love your food but continue to frequent because of the outstanding care & attention we get from associates like Hailey. We've enjoyed her excellent service for about 4 + years now. Thank you, Hailey. Looking forward to our next visit. The Browns' read more

The first time I had it was when they first open and the sauce was horrific. I gave them a few more tries and now it's really good. Let's pray they keep it up. that fried lobster tail was on point read more

I hardly gave reviews but felt like I had to say something this time!!! I ordered the snow crab legs(with a great deal of buy one get one free) delivery tonight through Uber eats and guess what I did Not receive any crab legs at all only some adds on(like corns noodles)!!! Okay after I talked to the restaurant I found out it's not their problem but the Uber Eats delivery people forgot about the bag of crab legs and they actually offered to give me a free order today so I guess I do need to change my reviews and give a apology to Shaking Crab!! Their food is actually good!! Hope the delivery people won't mess up the orders again!!! read more

Shaking Crab has gone downhill each time we try it. We tried it in Boston Amazing!! Newton location worse. So we thought we would try the new location in Foxboro as a double date. 1.) They took at-least 15-20 minutes with our drinks and the place is small! 2.) They didn't have few beers on the menu because they didn't have the tap installed..but didn't have it crossed out. 3.) They again didn't have a lot of the food / sides on the menu. Was so disappointing! I pre read a review and agree this location opened up earlier than they should've. For a seafood place you need to make sure you have what your selling on the menu. Was so disappointing probably our last time trying Shaking Crab since each time the experience get worse every time. Was almost embarrassed we brought a couple we like on a double date here. Please try harder for future customers! read more

Order to go once I arrive they said somebody else picked up my order as if it was my fault the food was delicious the delay was frustrating

Traveling from out of state and found this great gluten free spot! Most of the menu is gluten free!

Service was fantastic. We were there to celebrate my daughter's birthday and she wanted crab legs. Servings were very generous and we really enjoyed it. It's a very laid back casual vibe in the restaurant, and I recommend wearing something washable You will get messy!!! read more

I ordered a seafood boil + lobsters from The Shaking Crab for my mom's birthday. We were excited for the meal, but unfortunately everything was overcooked. The clams were rubbery and the lobster had a strange stringy texture. Even the corn and potatoes were mushy and overcooked. The service itself was good (the staff was friendly and our order was ready for pickup right on time). Maybe the restaurant was having an off day, but it was a disappointing experience especially given the $100 price tag. read more

I LOVE the Shakin Crab!!! Providence is my go to spot and Needham is our first love and Foxboro is ok if you're in the area and need a fix!! read more

Had dinner here tonight with my husband. Definitely enjoyed our food and were pleasantly surprised by the awesome service. We usually order the bags with seafood mixed in, and it never disappoints. I really like that they let me switch out the muscles and shrimp to just have all crab. Envie medium spice is what we used for our bags and it was delicious. We had fun listening to the old school jams too but if you don't like old school hip hop, just know they like 96.9 in this restaurant. It was nice to see all of the waitstaff and cooking crew happy looking at their job and having such a healthy looking vibe with one another; feel like you don't get to see that much anymore at places since the pandemic. The staff here were very helpful and attentive so if you need something just ask. read more

The server was bubbly and super helpful when we had questions abt the menu! The prices are good, considering the amazing seafood they offer! It was very quiet (we did go late on a Monday so that might be why lol) But we will DEFINITELY be back for more!!! And the drink for two was so delicious and a MUST if you like fruity drinks:) read more

To be fair, we were here six months ago, and the food was pretty good. I can't say the same for this visit. All of our meals were just mediocre and we ended up with a waffle sundae which is something they should be ashamed to serve. It's a 3" burnt waffle with freezer burnt ice cream. Safe to say we will not be back. read more

Great food and always great service!Recommend for sure!The takeout is always good too!What we usually go with!

I would put more but can't put full five stars. The food is absolutely awesome but the drawbacks are the mess ( not that big a drawback) if u prepare well enough The bigger drawback is the price.... Especially if you want the king crab legs. But would highly recommend read more

Great little place to eat. The service was awesome. Our waitress was great and attentive. The food was cooked perfect and so tasty. Restaurant is small but very homey. Would definitely recommend!! read more

Looks exciting but honestly could be better. It seasoned with lots of garlic, butter and other spices, but crawfish itself is tasteless...and unfortunately you won't be able to dip crawfish meat in the sauce as it has a lot of small shell pieces. Haven't tried other things from their menu but won't recommend their crawfish for sure. read more

Had a late run to to this spot as we were celebrating the Memorial Day Holiday with friends and family from out of town. We walked in at 8:48 and Lindsey the front end manager didn't hesitate to not only squeeze us in last minute but her and her staff provided amazing customer service even though it was late on a holiday! Will definitely be coming back! Best Shaking Crab experience out of some of the other locations! Tastier too! read more

Delicious food. Small restaurant though. Like VERY small. Crab was delicious and reasonably priced. Was told they also have all you can eat Monday through Wednesday. Service was pleasant but this cranky kitchen worker kept coming up front and audibly reprimanding staff for repeatedly taking his cleaning chemical.. Go back into your closet of misery sir. read more

Great service, fun eating seafood with perfect spice blends. Lost the crab leg eat off against my buddy, but maybe I will win next time!

Horrible customer service. Made a reservation at 8:45pm. Got in the door at 8:44pm. The host goes "if you guys were coming in any later I wouldn't have taken you". I was in disbelief. I wanted to laugh out loud. Is walking in the correct time of my reservation wrong? Am I suppose to come in sooner? The restaurant says they close at 9:30pm but the whole experience felt like we were being rushed to eat and leave. read more

This place is amazing!! Izzy was so attentive. Great personalities go a long ways when it come to customer service and tips :). The food was 10 stars!! We will be back!!! read more
