I come here every time I crave a good seafood boil. They have a robot that brings your food out which is pretty cool. The waiter could be a bit more attentive but overall I'd go back and would tell others to do the same.

Shaking Crab has decent food. I ordered the garlic noodles and a soup. The noodles were really good but the soup was just okay. They do have a happy hour where certain food and drinks are sold at a discount. The service was very nice which is why I gave them 4 stars instead of 3. I did not have their seafood boil but someone who was with me did and it looked okay. I probably won't be traveling back here to get it, because I love 30 mins away but if you are near by I would give it a try !
