Reviews for Shaking Crab (Upper West Side) in Providence, RI
I have to say that I've been to Boiling Soho in New Haven CT and also Cajun Boiled safood. The Shaking Crab by far exceeds in... flavor and freshness. I found my new spot for seafood in R.I. I gave it a 5 star because the flavor, atmosphere and the servicewas on point. Great place over all. I"ll be back(terminator voice) Read more
My fiancé and I came here for our last night in New England, and we ordered the combo with the 2 lobsters. We also ordered... clam chowder, a beer, and a watermelon margarita. The clam chowder was amazing, besides the small bit of sand that seemed tobe in one of the pieces of clam. The lobster combo had a great flavor, but mine must have had not been cleaned or deveined,because I feel like I was either eating sand or lobster poop -- not exactly sure. Anyways, the service was great though, andwe enjoyed the rest of our meal. Read more
This place is amazing, the food, the staff, all of it. As someone who had never really been a seafood person, I was nervous but... wanted to try something different. I ordered snow crab clusters and shrimp with potatoes and corn and the medium Cajun sauce.AMAZING, also tried the fried corn which was lovely as well. Very generous portions and the staff were so kind and thorough! Ihad never been to a seafood boil like this so the staff helped explain everything super well and helped make recommendations toplace my order. All I have to say is I will 100% be coming back and I am now addicted to crab. Read more
We really enjoyed dinner here. My wife and sister-in-law had a boil-in-bag with crab legs and I had the best lobster roll of my... life. The clam chowder was delicious with a LOT of fresh clam meat and the fried corn was a fun appetizer. Very nice cocktails,as well. Server was nice, but could've been more knowledgeable. Read more
Extremely disappointed! New England has some of the best seafood restaurants and access to fresh seafood and this was NOT it!... The service was great and they did offer another item on the menu ,as I was unsatisfied. Very underwhelming experience. Read more
The Shaking Crab is a fun place to get your hands or gloves dirty. Your provided a little trash bag for your scraps and a bib... with plenty of napkins. I ordered the create your own bag and I had lobster tail, crawdads, and snow crab legs with corn onthe cob and andouille sausage. I picked mild spice and medium heat. I went with a gang of friends and we each ordered a createyour own bag. The seafood is fresh and delicious. The mild sauce was so delicious and flavourful. The decor was nice, thebathroom was clean and our waiter was fun. Read more
Staff was friendly and overall good time. Some of our clams came closed and some of the crawfish did not taste fresh. Crab legs... were wonderful. Sweet chili sauce you had to pay extra for was not flavorful. Read more
