First time having this type of seafood meal! Seen it all over social media so was excited to try.
Place was clean and tidy.
Wasn't busy on a Monday evening.
Ordered 1lb snow crag legs, 1 lb shrimp with head, and 1 lb crayfish in the shake sauce (mild).
It comes with potatoes and corn.
Also ordered fried scallops but they brought fried shrimp instead (came with sweet potato fries).
Everything was delicious! The seafood tasted fresh.
The snow crab had a slight sweetness to it.
The shake sauce was delicious and had a tiny kick from being mild.
The fried shrimp was plump and juicy, with amazing fried outer layer.
Everything was amazing.
Service was slow tho.
Had to hunt down the server so he can bring my table a cracker tool to open the crab legs.

Thanks for the feedback, Sharon! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your meal.
Know that there's plenty more where that came from.
Looking forward to welcoming you back soon for more fresh, tasty seafood and good times!


I've been going here for years, but it has changed hands/management/employees.
When I used to go the food and service was wonderful but just recently this new group of unprofessional was very rude and had nasty attitudes, it wasn't until I theft that I notice on my receipt they actually noted that I was rude to everyone, which couldn't be further from the truth.
They will never get my money or service again.
It's sad that you can't go out and enjoy the food without running across horrible customer service.


I was a bit skeptical to try this place at first, but I can tell you that I wasn't disappointed.
The prices are decent and the food is fresh. The cons, however, are that: - Staff is not very nice or attentive.
We had to chase them down even when there was barely anyone in there.
They also didn't have a welcoming or enthusiastic attitude when we called or during the whole service, but they're quick to take your money. - The building is very small and there is barely any space between tables and booths.
You cannot help but hear the rowdy, large families that came in because the booths don't go above your shoulders. - The snow crab legs barely had meat in them.
The claws had the meat and you only get, like 4 of those depending on how many clusters you get.

We're thrilled that you enjoyed your experience here with us, Shayla! Thanks for pointing out a few things that we can improve on, as well -- we appreciate that.
Hope to serve you again sometime soon! -The Team at Shake Seafood
