⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 Experience at The Shaking Crab!
If you’re looking for a fun, flavorful, and all-around fantastic dining experience, The Shaking Crab is the place to go! From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat—but what truly made our visit exceptional was Lucy. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.
Not only did she keep our drinks topped off without us ever having to ask, but she also made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We go out to eat often, and outstanding service is something we truly value—Lucy knocked it out of the park!
And let’s talk about the food—incredible! From the bold flavors to the hands-on experience, every bite was delicious and fun. If you haven’t tried The Shaking Crab yet, do yourself a favor and go! You won’t regret it.
S.B. Taylor Transport gives this place a solid 10/10! We’ll definitely be back.

I had decent expectations for this place considering its one of the only cajun seafood places ive heard of in Maine and I had heard good things from this place. I ended up being disappointed. We had order the weekend special which contained lobster tail, crab, shrimp, corn and potatoes and obviously had some sauce on the bottom for flavor which was $40. We also ordered rice, garlic noodles and lemonade. The corn is obviously pre frozen and reminds me of how school lunch tastes. The weekend special only had one piece of corn which surprised me considering the price of the weekend special.
The garlic pasta has so much butter that its practically a soup but yet happens to be the best thing there and the portion was pretty good. The lemonade tastes like toilet water and made me gag. I expected the potatoes to be decent but they turned out to still have dirt of them which you could taste clearly. The potatoes also seemed to be lightly boiled and were still pretty hard. When I first saw the lobster tail I was confused because it had looked cold but when I tried it, it was warm. The sauce on the bottom is nothing special its honestly a bit below average. I think youre better off saving your money and making your own seafood boil at home for cheaper. The place was pretty loud when i came in but it was also around dinner when i came in so thats expected. The service was pretty average it took a hot minute to actually get our order but again it was fine considering it was busy.

Food was average. Ordered dungeness crab and some legs were missing (I guess they really meant by the pound) It wasn't very flavorful. The snow crab was good. I would NOT recommend the fried whole belly clams as the clams were not really there and the batter was overdone. Fries were good. Prices were reasonable if the seafood was fresh. Waitress was excellent.

Amazing restaurant! The seafood was so good and the Cajun sauce was absolutely amazing. I got the snow crab, clams, and shrimp. Everything was so good, and the price was better than any restaurant I’ve eaten at lately. Our waitress was so nice, and provided all the things we needed for the boil (bib, gloves, wet naps). Great experience here.

Good food. Kind of pricey. We ordered the Cajun fried cauliflower and they didn't tell us until 20 minutes later they didn't have any. Got the fried pickles instead. Which came out at the same time our food did. Those were good.
