Shaking Crab - Newton

Two words. Seafood. Boil. This place is in Newton so it's a bit out of the city but well worth the trip, TRUST ME. Since it's a bit out, you aren't paying as high of a price as you would in the city. It's a cute spot with lots of pics inside. The staff is so friendly and you can tell they really just care. They're super accommodating to your needs and will continue bringing the napkins throughout this messy endeavor. Their lobster cheesy fries (yes you heard me right) were unreal. The fries were crispy and flavorful and everything is better with lobster and cheese. I had the Royal catch with a medium shaking spice level and it was epic. I probably could have gotten it spicier but now I know. You absolutely need to come check it out for all your seafood boil needs (but they also have other things)

Fun spot to go with a group and get messy! Lots to choose from and fun drink options!

Overhyped for the quality and the price point. The garlic noodles were much better than the seafood bags.

Amazing food, great service and a fun atmosphere. The best lobster roll I have ever had!

This is one of the best seafood places I've ever been at beautiful inside good customer service good for parties events gatherings seafood is reasonably price clean, spacious up-to-date

We placed a pickup order and the two staff that's working were deliberately ignoring customers at the door. I get that you're busy and apparently understaffed but man, my order has been ready and they just had to ask the customers at the door. There could be a better system.

10/10 all the time. I've been here twice. Each time it's the best . We always get the royal catch ( king crab legs , shrimp, potatoes, corn and sausage.

Came here with my grandfather and stepfather after a long day of not catching any fish. Grandfather is a long time critic of food that he does not prepare himself but he loved the food and the time we had. Drinks was stiff and the food was hot. Couldn't of asked for a better time. Grandfather is still talking about them Catfish fillets.

stop in here friday night for dinner. the restaurant is about a dozen tables, easy to configure for your party needs. there's a full bar.
we ordered couple of the boils, two set A's. we both got mild spicy shaking crab flavor with the boils. it's nice the sets came with fries and a soda.

the food is fresh. the fries came out nice and crispy. the cluster of snow crab legs is on the smaller side. the sauce is flavorful, a bit on the salty side for me. the corn and the baby potatoes paired well with the sauce.

parking is street, free but limited time. after 7pm it is unlimited.

The food and service are second to none!! This is a must stop when visiting the area. Do not pass on the shaking crab!!
