Shaking Crab Providence

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.

I have not found a restaurant to excite my palate the way shaking crab did today in a long time. The food was truly divine. It was so good even though it was spicy my kids still ate it.

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.

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 to be 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, and we enjoyed the rest of our meal.
