Food and service were amazing!!!! I recommend the lobster Mac and cheese!!! It was so delicious-hands down my favorite thing to order besides the seafood galore. Shaking sauce was just perfect. Our waitress Christy was very knowledgeable with the menu and gave me and my family the best service I could ask for. Definitely will be back.

Cajun food is among my favorite. You can't really find good southern twists in this part of the country but this place is a gem! Zoey took real good care of us as well. I am definitely coming back!

Great lunch today. I love the "mini boil" specials. It makes a quick stop for lunch possible but also allows you to try different combos at an affordable price. Totally worth the visit. I got the shrimp and crawfish mini boil in the shaking Cajun spice heat level 2. It came with baby potatoes and mini ears of corn. I will be back!

Shaking Crab began as a lunch craving for fresh New England shellfish and bold Cajun flavors in the spring of 2015, to fulfill a craving that was otherwise impossible in the area.

Our first robot has only recently arrived, but has already earned the nickname “Peanut” from owner Soni. A tray table on wheels, Peanut has been programmed to be able to navigate the restaurant’s 6,500-square-foot interior entirely on its own. A camera located on the top of the robot scans QR codes to keep track of its tables. Armed with a handful of catchphrases, it can also sing “Happy Birthday” in dulcet harmony.
