The Shake Seafood: Reviews & Ratings
The ambience was relaxing and chill. The server was nice and pleasant. It was hard to find parking but that was the hardest part. We had the letter J on the menu. It was really good, season right and everything.would visit again
1 word, Deliciousness! The food at this place was delicious. The Shake sauce was one of the best I had. Everything was fresh and came out in a timely manner. I loved the atmosphere and our waitress was very attentive.
My husband and I ENJOYED our Seafood. This was our first time here.. We didn't have to wait to be seated.. Our waiter was great as well. Our wait for our food was about 10 minutes.. But while we waited we had our drinks & popcorn (which they provide)... You also have a choice to bring wine (BYOB), they provide wine glasses for you.. Something we didn't no, but no for next time. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!! They do a SHAKE of your bagged steamed seafood before opening it so all your juices & seasoning is all over your food!!!! Enjoyed ever bit of it.. A MUST TRY, ESPECIALLY FOR SEAFOOD LOVERS..
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.
Great place they have byob(bring your own bottle) they were very clean and well organized. Our waitress was great and food came fast. Ill definitely be back and recommend this place to anyone who wants to eat good seafood at a chill place.
Checked the reviews..all positive..gave it a try on date nite(also Valentine's day)..they had a crowd but the wait for the food was minimal. Had king crab legs & hush puppies. Nice portion size & seasoned well. Hubby had fried shrimp basket. Nice sized shrimp..nice find within walking distance of our home. Tina our server was fabulous. Will definitely be back!
Loved the food and the service. I got the shrimp and crab combo with the shake sauce, lemon pepper wings, and a side of boiled eggs. Everything was really good. I'll definitely be back.
Absolutely DELICIOUS!! I haven't been here for a while and it's better than I remember. The shake sauce was PERFECT. Not overly salty like a lot of places make it. Definitely recommend
