Wow--this one truly hit home. The gumbo was rich, spicy, and incredibly authentic... the kind that makes your nose run and your soul happy. I loved it so much that I ordered a whole quart to take home for tonight. If you're missing real Cajun flavor, this place delivers. Sigh... this gumbo took me right back home.

Classics like gumbo and crawfish are a staple on the menu and they are both delicious. Fried shrimp and crab or crawfish meatballs make for crunchy apps, especially with their flavorful dips. They all hit just the right level of spicy. I havent tried the poboy but lmk if you do. Seating is outdoors and somewhat limited. This is a cross between a neighborhood cafe and a bodega with aluminum chairs. But the nola flavor cant be beat. Be careful when ordering and repeat check your order. Im looking forward to visiting again, especially when the daffodil meadow at the New England Botanical Garden is in full bloom.

It's incredibly spacious, and although our waitress seemed new and was unable to answer some questions about the menu, she promptly found the information for us.

The outside and inside of the place was very clean and plenty of room around the tables. When we walked in, they were playing 90s R&B, it was lively, definitely had an excellent vibe! Shout out to our waitress, Lexi for giving us good advice on which flavors to go for, drinks to try and dessert! Great service! We're pretty well-versed in seafood boils so it was nice to see that there was one available. We decided to go with a pound of headless shrimp and half pound of black mussels with the captain Louis sauce, and medium level hot. We asked to sample the extra hot in the xx-hot, since we weren't familiar with their spices. Definitely loved the hot! We ended up tossing in the hot into the bag, mixed it up, it was a great mix! I'd come back for sure if I'm in the area again.

It's has more of a take out feel than a sit down restaurant- but it is a sit down restaurant. The service was super slow - took a while for anyone to come over - we noticed so ordered everything all at once. Took a while to get drinks. We ordered apps - they came with our main food - that always irks me! We had a mix of boils and fried food and the boils were way ahead of the other food. Also terrible when you're in a group. The food quality and flavor were good! But service and atmosphere wasn't something I would run back to.... It's got potential...but needs to be a run a bit better - seems like they do a lot of takeout and my guess is they let that make your in restaurant experience not as good. The none seafood options are pretty basic - but doable. No pics of other stuff, because I already had my gloves on and was too messy to take pics once the other stuff came!

We called in to ask what the situation is and you can tell English isn't their first language so communication was very difficult. We explained to them our situation and they kept on trying to explain to us what happened and we kept trying to confirm what is going on but the answer kept changing. In the end, we were told to ordered AGAIN. So we did and paid twice and hoped they'll refund our first order. It's 10:00pm and we are still hungry and waiting for food. We spoke to three different people and not a single one really understood the situation or know what was going on. Now, we are currently en route to pick up our order and we ordered delivery.... Edit... after I've finally picked up my food, I have to update my review. The first part of my review is NOT on the resturant. It's on Uber eats and maybe I'm biased but I just hate Uber in general. Edited again!!! I just looked at the photos by the "business owners" on Yelp. Be warned, that is NOT that resturant. They don't make alcoholic beverages nor does the food actually looked mixed well enough like that. That is false advertisement. Look at my photos and you can see. **do not order through Uber eats or Grubhub or DoorDash. Just order through them. They deliver and they won't up charge you. Plus, Uber eats fudged my order twice by canceling as well as taking the food and disappearing. First, I got the Cajun style clams and mussels. As well as the free garlic noodles per promo of Uber eats. Spicy level was hot. The sauce wasn't entirely mixed which was fine since I'm weird and I tend to like the clumps of raw Cajun sauce. Mussels were normal sized but the clams could definitely be a lot bigger. I've been to shaking crab in both providence and Braintree and to be honest, you're better off going to those restaurants for good eating. But!!! If you are really in desperate need of Cajun food while in Fall River, this place is your go to. The garlic noodles was very... Chinese food inspired. You can tell from my picture that it's basically lomein cooked with minced garlic. Conclusion... If quality of ingredients were legit shaking crab quality chain store, then this would be a lot higher of a rating. Went in in person to meet the owners and they are nice folks but It was super frustrating at first because of Uber messing up our order, and finally making us wait 5 hours and then to drive to the resturant to get our order past closing hours. But it's honestly just your typical Chinese resturant trying to make an imitation of shaking crab. Not bad for Fall River? But not up to par with the actual chain.

The Shaking sauce was absolute perfection. The barlic was probably delicious but didn't even compare with the amount of flavor in the shaking sauce. All of the seafood was cooked beautifully and tasted fresh. The quality of the meal was incredible. We also ordered a lobster roll and their garlic noodles. I think the lobster roll was a lobster salad and I really really enjoyed it. I don't think I'd order the noodles again but only because everything else blew me away and I was so full by the time I got to them. They have a full bar which allows for a ton of drink choices. 10/10 will frequent the Shaking Crab.

For food, we ordered the jumbo seafood boil which came with snow crab, crawfish, shrimp, mussels, potatoes, corn, and we added sausage! We got it with the regular cajun sauce and it was delishhh. The sauce is a classic you can't go wrong with! My only wish is that the snow crab was bigger / meatier but everything else was in the boil great. We also ordered garlic noodles, mac and cheese, and fried pickles. The garlic noodles are fine but not great. It tastes like cheap takeout noodles and I wouldn't get it again. Similarly, the mac and cheese is also just fine. I actually liked the fried pickles though because batter was seasoned well but just a little salty. If you come here, get ready to eat messy! Thankfully they give you bibs and gloves so you can eat comfortably. Next time I want to try the Tom Yum sauce.

First off: the food was outstanding. The kind of meal where everyone at the table were all raving about their food. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and fast considering the size of our group. Second: the staff deserves a medal. Not only were they friendly and efficient, but they also went above and beyond splitting checks for all 11 people individually without making us feel like we'd committed a felony. Anyone who has ever dined with a large group knows this alone is a five-star act of heroism. The ambiance was fun, energetic, and just the right amount of spunky. It felt lively without being overwhelming, the kind of place where you immediately relax and accidentally stay longer than planned. And finally, the soundtrack. Whoever was running the music understood the assignment. Absolute bangers all night. At one point I genuinely wasn't sure whether I was there for dinner or about to break out into dance. Fantastic food, great vibes, awesome service, and a team that clearly knows how to handle groups without breaking a sweat. Would absolutely come back.
