Shaking Crab (Providence)

"Listen, while in town we were searching for the best seafood boil place here. We tried a few and have experienced some others out of area, no comparison this place was unmatched! Amazing food, great portions, great service and excellent drinks. Wish I could do 10 stars. A must visit."

"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 service was on point. Great place over all. I"ll be back(terminator voice)"

"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! I had never been to a seafood boil like this so the staff helped explain everything super well and helped make recommendations to place my order. All I have to say is I will 100% be coming back and I am now addicted to crab."

"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."

"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 on the cob and andouille sausage. I picked mild spice and medium heat. I went with a gang of friends and we each ordered a create your own bag. The seafood is fresh and delicious. The mild sauce was so delicious and flavourful. The decor was nice, the bathroom was clean and our waiter was fun."
