We ordered snow crab legs and shrimp combo from UberEats. Fast and large portion. We chose the shaking sauce ( house Cajun), which is good but not amazing. Will go to the restaurant in person next time.

We ordered the lobster tail + half clams and fried lobster plate. Both were very tasty. The lobster tail is soft and tender. The sauce they gave was generous as well. We ordered with cajun sauce. It was on point! Will definitely come again.

I can’t even begin to describe how good everything about this was. An entire experience. 2 Lobsters Clams and Mussels in a butter garlic lime cilantro sauce. And potatoes and corn too. Paper lined table, gloves, obligatory bib and off you go. They dropped this massive tray of food and then brought us a side of Cajun sauce just to try. Staff was super nice and made great suggestions.

Solid sea food. Don’t know why it was so empty on the night I went there but that was just one night. Atmosphere is meh. Would go back again simply because of the food and location.

Foods hit or miss. Sometimes the seafood is overcooked, i got king crab which was cooked well but the lobster was so overcooked i wouldn’t eat it. House Seasoning is good when they dont over-do it. Expensive for portions received. Service is usually pretty good, quick and friendly.

We had a drink while we waited for our takeout. The small staff was so quick we weren’t even half way through our beverage when our order for 5 people was already made. Everything was hot and fresh despite the fact it took us 30 minutes fighting traffic before we made it back to the hotel. The best part was all the fried food that was not seafood, did not taste like seafood. Overall, great experience. We visit every time we come to Boston.

11/24/18 – This was our first visit to the Shaking Crab. We were visiting our son in Boston and found this new restaurant on Harvard Street. It has only been open for a week. If you enjoy cajun style crawfish and shrimp, you will love this place. Be prepared to eat with your hands. Gloves and bibs are provided. Very friendly waitstaff. We will definitely return!

Excellent food and excellent flavors! We had a 1 pound snow crab and half pound shrimp with corn and fries on the side and they were all amazing! Highly recommend the house sauce, ie cajun- loads of garlic and butter and paprika! Those flavours and fresh seafood was such a dreamy combo! Definitely going back but only going to opt for takeout so I can eat in my own home comfortably! If you’re dining in, be prepared to create a mess no matter how carefully you eat!
