    Hush puppies (good)
    Mischa J.

    Yelp! It's good! I discovered the shaking shack from other YELPERS! We are a party of 5 in Boston. Everybody hungry! I ordered the catfish plate with corn and a side of sausage and eggs. This stuff good. Everybody raving about this Corn, hush puppies and onion rings! I got corn juice all down my face! The sausage also gets rave reviews. Don't be fooled by the hole in the wall appearance, it's that. But, the food and service are what's up. I don't know when I will be back, but trust, good food is cooked up in here.

    My friend and I were really excited to try this place since I live right down the street. So we ordered our food for pick up and then walked home. One of the items we got was Cajun fries and at first we didn't notice anything strange because we were super hungry but after having a couple of fries, I saw a hair entrenched in the fries. It was disgusting to say the least. Needless to say, we threw the fries away.

    The table full of food.

    Shaking Seafood was a very great place to eat! The variety of entrees and choices were very well done. I've been to seafood boils across North America and they had largest selection and variety of food. So 5 stars on the variety. I was there with a colleague from Europe and his two sons. We are until we couldn't eat any longer. They young guys were happy to see there were free refills and took advantage of that for sure. I've never seen someone drink so much soda in my life??!! Lol Everyone was happy with food, the service, and the overall experience. The ambiance is just a normal restaurant. It's small like most restaurants and places in Boston when comparing it to places in the southern parts of the US. Restrooms were clean and tidy. The restrooms were uni-sex. I will definitely go back. They have a fan in us!

    Combo 2
    Jimmy N.

    This first part is mainly for "Mark". He's the one who delivered this to me which he works under Door Dash. My food said it was going to be delivered at 9:50pm. I gave it til 9:55pm to see where my food is. The status said it was delivered at 9:36pm. Not even a phone call to tell me that he's here or anything. My food was sitting outside in the cold for 19 minutes. Smh. Now to the food... 2/5. I'm sorry... I had the Combo 2 which had snow crab legs, New Zealand mussels, and shrimp. I requested for the shaking flavor, EXTRA SPICY. The sauce was so bland, the spice was... what spice? There was no kick or anything at all lol I had to add my own seasonings in.... I won't give up on this place, yet. I will try it one more time. Maybe it's because it's late. ‍ Garlic noodles was bland too... Oh, one more thing. The corn was really bad. The texture was mushy and tasted oddly weird. It must've been old... I took one bite and knew right away...

    I ordered take out so I will be trying inside the restaurant next time. The best thing was the crab 10/10. Everything else was blah shrimp and crawfish tasted pre-cooked (very rubbery on all shrimp) the seasoning wasn't in the room with us but everyone else pictures who dined in looks like their food was cooked with love. I'll post another review when I've dined in. Otherwise I don't feel like the shrimp broil was worth it especially if it's pre-cooked shrimp. And it will be nice if they give you gloves & other utensils (apron) with ur takeout orders. Will definitely try again

    food quality is worst!!!!!!!
    Thi H.

    I came here before. And love the food here. But yesterday (10/23), I order the crawfish from this restaurant. After few hours, I got diarrhea and vomiting. It lasted until 4am. Today my stomach still hurts so bad. I don't know what they put in the crawfish that made me like that. Please check whether the food is fresh or not before serving to customers. I won't ever come back to this restaurant anymore! Never recommend it to anyone!!!!

    Shrimp  and lobster

    We had a great time at Shaking seafood .. the lobster shrimp potato corn was perfectly cooked and seasoned! They have a parking lot for their customers! Excellent customer service! Highly recommend!

    Can someone with crab and lobster allergy enjoy the other offerings?

    Yes! My younger I have a shellfish allergy. I enjoyed the catfish basket and my younger daughter had the chicken tender basket. They were cooked to perfection and no allergy cross contamination.

The outdoor area is inviting, and inside there's a great mix of low-top tables, high-tops, bar seating, and cozy spots to settle into. Everything feels thoughtfully spread out, and I loved being able to see the open brick oven and activity in the kitchen. The space also has a bit of a bakery/café vibe, making it feel like a place where you could stop in for a quick grab-and-go item or stay awhile for a full meal. The staff made a great impression too. The people at the front were incredibly helpful to my guest, who was having some trouble with their phone. I also ordered one of the specialty drinks but asked for it without alcohol. The bartender absolutely nailed it--it was so good that my only complaint was that it didn't come in a bigger glass. For food, I had the grass-fed burger and fries (see photo), and it exceeded my expectations. The burger was so juicy and flavorful that I ended up cutting it into pieces just to make it manageable. Every bite was delicious. What I appreciate most is that I left feeling like I hadn't even experienced everything the restaurant has to offer. I already want to go back, choose a different seat, and enjoy a completely different perspective of the space. Honestly, it feels like the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. This is your sign, visit now!

    Delicious!! Fresh. Flavors on point, preparation on point. Friendly service, adorable patio. 10/10…read moreNo notes.

The quality was excellent then, and on something of a whim on a recent visit to Quincy, I stopped in for a fish and chips lunch. The quality is just as good as I remembered, and at a surprisingly reasonable price given the catapulting of prices industry-wide. I joked with the counter staff about the length between visits, and they joked about about not letting it go forty more years -- they might not be around that long! While I certainly won't be, well into my sixties, I sure hope Burke's will.

    We came to Quincy looking for some Asian food. Then, searching through my own Yelp collection, I…read morefound out that I had bookmarked Burke's previously. With a craving for some seafood, we decided to pop in for a late lunch. The whole Burke's team was friendly and welcoming upon our arrival. We asked for recommendations and made some quick selections before the kitchen closes for the day. We opted for the shrimp lunch, oyster dinner, and a seafood chowder. The chowder came out first. The lady was so friendly, making sure we had enough spoons and cups of water. The chowder was thick and creamy with chunks of seafood. I am not usually fans of fried seafood. However, the fried shrimps and fried oysters here were so good that the batter didn't adulterate the freshness of the shrimps and oysters at all. Both were cooked to perfection without being dry. As I was watching the light snow flurries outside the windows, I was thinking to myself that I was lucky to still enjoy some fresh seafood here as the temperatures are dropping.
