Reviews for Shaking Seafood (Dorchester) in Dorchester, MA

Ordered for first time not realizing it?s the same place as Roslindale location (which is disgusting) once I bit into the... mushiest corn. Will never return they give the tiniest amount of sauce luckily I paid for extra but not enough to cost the crabsand shrimp, oh the shrimp were a weird mushy texture too. Ate the crab egg and potatoes only. They don?t boil the seafood withthe seasoning just add a tiny bit to the back so none of the flavor penetrates. Place was empty on a Friday night with onlythree tables occupied which says a lot. Clearly I won?t be back and wasted $34 on a meal that mostly got tossed. Read more

Waitresses are EXTREMELY RUDE. Food is not fresh and it?s also really salty . As I was eating both waitresses was rushing me to... pay which made me not even want to eat so I paid then as I?m signing my receipt not even done filling out my receipt thewaitress not only asked for a tip she demanded I put a tip that second so I told her I was going to leave a tip but just bc uasked and then demanded a tip I will no longer leave one then I walked out but I had forgot my to go on the table and when Iwent bck to get my to go bag the waitress was refusing to give me my to go bag as if I didn?t pay for it I literally had tosnatch my food from the lady. I WILL NEVER EAT FROM THIS PLACE AND HIGHLY DONT RECOMMEND IT TO ANY INE Read more

First time experiencing shaking seafood. It was all delicious and the owner added more spices on request. I prefer a bit more... flavor. Excellent! Read more

Not sure why people aren't lined up for miles to get (in my opinion) the absolute best seafood boil that Boston has to offer.... Small place but trust me, don't let that fool you. Great service GREAT FOOD !!!! Read more

Excellent service & food. Would give five stars but served no beers or any alcohol with mountains of spicy seafood. Overall... awesome experience, I just like beers with my seafood. Read more

I've been here twice, food was great. Had fried catfish and sweet potato fries, first time. Second time I had seafood boil with... lobster tails, delightful! Those garlic wings are fire, too! Read more

YUM! I especially like that the headless shrimp are cleaned and easy peel. Comes with a bib and gloves to keep clean. The... Dorchestwr location looks very clean and freshly remodeled. Nice staff too. Read more
