Greeted by staff member when we arrived. Seated quickly and Great service and not crowded on a Friday evening. Excellent prices as well and doggie bag to go home. We were given a small gift when we were leaving a key chain with their name, phone number, and address. What a lovely gesture for new customers.

This is not the same as Shaking Crab!! We assumed it was their sister restaurant but it’s totally different t. Two stars because the seafood was fresh. But unfortunately the various flavors are so salty with no other flavor. The empty tables should’ve been a clue. Service was subpar since our waitress couldn’t answer any questions. Such a bummer…

Great food, generous portions. The food oysters are great. The staff is friendly and helpful. The margarita is half the price compared to other places.

Good service, family friendly establishment, decor is simple & promotes the theme, great lighting & open space, the food…… gooood. If Jenny’s around, she’ll make sure you have a great experience, just like the other staffs.

This is our go-to takeout place in Rozzie. The steam bags are so good as well as the fried fish!

The food was okay, but yes, I’ve had better. I ordered lobster, shrimp and crab legs with a garlic butter seasoning. I couldn’t taste much of the seasoning and the lobster didn’t taste fresh. I went later on in the evening, so maybe it’s better when they first open.
