We were looking for someplace that did low boils - and we found a place!! Shake Shake seafood does low boils for everyone individually making sure that everyone gets what they want! The seafood was cooked to perfection and was delivered promptly. Three things I would recommend to improve on: paper towels instead of napkins; make the fried calamari starter a larger portion; and make sure people eating crabs have the necessary tools when the meal is served. Overall this place was pretty awesome for an in-land seafood restaurant. Better than most at the seashore!! Highly recommend trying Shake Shake Seafood in Monroe. I know we will be!! read more

If I could give this restaurant zero stars, I would, but unfortunately, the lowest option is one. I came in on Saturday and ordered a lobster combo to go. When I got home, I noticed there was a foreign object in my food that absolutely should not have been there. I wasn't able to call Saturday because it was too late, and I had to work all day Sunday. I called Monday to report the issue and give the restaurant an opportunity to address it. I spoke with the general manager, Tan, and his response was extremely disappointing. He was very defensive, aggressive, and downright rude. Instead of listening to my concern, he questioned me by saying, "Why are you just now calling me?" and "Why are you calling me out of the blue?" The fact remains that regardless of when I called, there was a foreign object in my food that should not have been there. The timing of my call does not change what happened or make the issue any less concerning. I called when I was able to, and I should have been able to report my experience without being treated disrespectfully. I was calmly explaining what happened, yet he repeatedly told me to "calm down," as if I were the one being aggressive or unreasonable. I was not calling to argue or cause a problem. I was simply trying to make the restaurant aware of a serious issue with my order. What made the situation even worse was the attitude I received from management. Rather than taking the complaint seriously and addressing the food-safety concern, I felt like I was being treated as though I had done something wrong by calling. I did not ask for the foreign object or the additional ingredient that was found in my food, and it should not have been there in the first place. After this experience, I will not be spending my money at this restaurant again. I am also considering contacting the local health department regarding what I found in my food because this is a concern that should be taken seriously. Customers should be able to report legitimate concerns without being met with defensiveness, aggression, or disrespect. The facts remain the same regardless of when I called: there was something in my food that should not have been there, and the way management handled my complaint was completely unacceptable. read more

Loved the lettuce burger! Tasteful and juicy burger. I will go back again. Service was fast.

The waitress was not friendly at all. It seemed as if she was tired of dealing with us and we just got there. I told her we had a few people in our party who never visited. I asked her for water and she said okay but are you going to be ready to order by the time I get back. The only time she seemed happy was at the end when it was time for her tip. I gave her 15%. She would have gotten more if she had a better attitude. The food was mid but the bathroom was clean. read more

when in the summer, we went right when they opened and had the best service. We both got seafood boils, with crab, shrimp, potatoes, and corn. Both seafood boils were very good. The restaurant decoration was pretty good and coastal, we enjoyed it lots. Very good seafood boils! read more

Shake Shake Seafood Monroe - Snow Crab Leg & Shrimp Combo - Seafood Near Me - Monroe, North Carolina

My husband and I are from Grand Junction Colorado and we do not have anything like this restaurant here. We went into this establishment while we were in North Carolina and I have to say the experience was absolutely phenomenal! The staff was attentive and gracious, they even took a photo for us as we were trying to o it ourselves. We each got a seafood boil and everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. If I could've I would have taken the whole place back to Colorado with us. 10 stars to the wait staff and the cooks. As I'm writing this review I'm remembering how good the food was. Thank you to everyone we met!!!! read more

Shake Shake Seafood Monroe - Seafood Near Me - Monroe, North Carolina

This review is overdue. I stopped by on Saturday, 12-31-22. I was leaving Target & wanted dinner from a new spot to end the year. I picked a good time to go as they were not very busy. I ordered the shrimp hot with all the seasonings. I also added a side of hush puppies; they were ok but I probably wouldn't order them again. I spoke to who I believe was the owner while waiting for my order. We talked about the sister restaurant on Independence in Charlotte. If I'm hungry while in Monroe, I'd stop by again. read more

Full of surprises. First the meal comes in plastic bag, fully cooked. I had shrimp and sausage which turned out to be 14 shrimp in shells (no heads) and kielbasa slices, several small cooked red potatoes and 1/2 a corn on the cob in what I chose - a garlic and butter sauce. There were many other choices esp. of fish, seafood etc. and sauces It was delicious. We also had a large glass of draft beer - well, you can't be unhappy with that. Service was fast and good. Problem free. There's plenty of parking. We ate early so there were few patrons. I will be going back for sure. read more

This was our first time at this restaurant. We ordered the shrimp and crab combo that had potatoes in it and corn in order an extra half pounder shrimp. This was our first time experiencing the shake shake is all the spices with it were very very good. However, I want to tell you that what made it even better was the waitress who did an exceptional job! We think her name was Iysis. read more

Welllll the food was good. But the portions have decreased. I ordered the lobster combo $42. One snowcrab claw, one half piece of corn two and two potatoes. It was about 10-12 shrimps. They are under staff. We never refills, the crab cracker or our check. We just decided to walk up to the register to cash out. The ambiance was very family friendly. read more

Great burger/shake joint. They always almost seem to be over staffed which is nice on food speed. What's really nice even though they are a franchise out of ny you can still get a burger with cheese for $6.50. Fun environment if you go to the south end location. read more

We went here earlier this year, and loved it! Great portions, quality seafood, good service as well.

Great deal on low country boil for lunch! I love the spice! Shrimp and crawfish! Yum!

Good food a lot of flavour. The wait was kind of long , it's loud inside so if you want to have a conversation this is not the pace , but the food is good read more

Love their oysters . Such a fabulous place with good sea food . The garlic sauce is so good .

Went here for an early Mother's Day feast and I am so glad we did. Food was phenomenal especially with the "juicy" seasoning. We had shrimp, crawfish, lobster, and crab. Kids had fun digging in and everything was cooked to perfection. And now to our server. DeSean (I hope I spelled it correctly ) was just the sweetest guy. He was so pleasant taking our order, so helpful with all my husbands questions, joked around with my girls, and never stopped having a smile on his face. I know it's a rough time for servers and the industry in general but you couldn't tell with DeSean. He was a huge reason I would come again and I truly hope a manager reads this review! read more

Usually I give this place 5* but on my last visit I was not satisfied at all. My first time trying the lobster which was rubbery, potato was hard.The only thing was was good was the dungeon crab and the corn. Maybe it was because I was there as soon as it opened this has happened b 4 but when I visited around 4 r 5 it was perfect. This is still my go 2 seafood place read more

I can't even begin to say how excited I was with the food. The juicy medium boil with crawfish and crab was amazing. I will be back soon. read more

Shake Shake Seafood Monroe - OMG! Yum! The crawfish, crab, corn and potatoes were fantastic. The juicy medium was perfect. - Seafood Near Me - Monroe, North Carolina

We stopped in on our way to the local vineyard. It smelled amazing as soon as we opened the door. We were greeted by the hostess. We placed a to go order. This was our first visit so she explain what the most popular items were and what her favorites were. We got the Crab and Shrimp Bag. Per the hostess suggestion, we add sausage. We also order the Unbreaded Chicken Wings with Sweet BBQ Sauce and a side of Sweet Potato Fries. The sauce in the seafood bag was the Shake Shake Signature Sauce which was simply amazing!! Everything was cooked to perfection! The chicken was tender too! We will most definitely return. read more

We stopped in four a quick lunch today and boy were we surprised. I wasn't expecting much since we went here for my 9yr old to have crab legs. At $24 for a pound they were pricey but were unbelievably good. 2 perfectly cooked large cluster came with his order and along with the ear of corn was just perfect. I had the Shrimp Po Boy which was very good and on some of the best bread I have ever had in NC! A pleasant surprise and we'll be back. read more

If you like seafood this is the place to go I. Monroe. Had a low country boil you can get with different leaves of spice . Worth the money

WOW. Amazing. I would have given five stars if they cleaned the poop shoots of the shrimp properly. It totally grosses me out and I will sit there scraping it out with a mussel shell because I spent $80 bucks on seafood and it tastes freaking fabulous. Only other places with seafood this good is in Charleston, New Orleans, Jacksonville and Savannah. read more

The Shake Shake Seafood is the real deal. We arrived there about 1:30. Service was great. Me being in a chair temporary, one of the servers came out to assist us with getting into the establishment. After being quickly seated we ordered the shrimp and black mussels combo which comes with a potato and a ear of corn, another combo with shrimp and sausage and a side of fried shrimp. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. Our spice was medium and our seasoning was the combination of Cajun and butter garlic. When I tell you this place is the real deal and I must try believe. The fried shrimp were so good they didn't need any tarter or sauce. So glad we stumbled on the Shake Shake Seafood turning around in there parking lot. Thank you to the maitre d for wheeling me out to my vehicle. I recommend they put their sign on the main road. Can't wait to go back. Sorry no pictures. We had our hands deep in the bag the combos come in. read more

Great food and dining experience! I recommend all of my hometown friends who grew up near the beach to dine at Shake Shake!

Great tasting food. You get what you pay for. Pricey but that's seafood. Love the garlic butter sauce with spice.

This was my third time there since it opened. The first two times there was for the lunch menu and it was great! For 11$ you get a full meal of seafood which is unheard of. The service was good took but not that busy. Today 3/6/20 we went there for their dinner service and it was terrible right from the start. The prices are higher which is expected. My wife ordered a salad cause she does not eat seafood. The sale was $8 and literally was three cucumber slices four tomato 1/4s and some greens but very small.we ordered apps and our dinner came before the apps and the server stated that's how they do things there..... I said ok thank.... at the point the server became completely unavailable. I gave it three stars based on my lunch experiences there previously and will go back at least once more for dinner. I will update my review at that point. read more

Food is ok. I would say the wait staff ignores you but it was just our waiter Julius. The music is loud and pulsating like you are in a club, even though there is a sheet of paper that they put on the tables ours was still dirty with used balled up napkins in the corner and pieces of food on the table. read more

Shake shake is pretty good I ain't gone even lie! The juicy special mild wheeeew!! The location is good. It's not too far from the house. The left over sauce and sausage, I make some grits and pour it over top! Gahh dawg that junk be good. read more

We stopped by because we wanted seafood & this place did disappoint. We got the $29.00 special crab & shrimp added sausage along with the sweet BBQ wings w/sweet potato fries. Excellent excellent excellent. We got the mild Garlic butter special sauce for the seafood. It was so good it was even still hot by time we got to to destination Oh did I mention that everything was Togo & it was still good! Definitely a must go! read more

So, our family decided to visit the Shake Shake Seafood Restaurant, and we had a delightful first experience. Shake Shake Seafood is more like a low country boil type seafood restaurant, vs the normal fried Fish Camps that we are familiar with here in this area. Based off of what my family ordered, all of our food tasted excellent! I ordered the Crab leg, Shrimp, Sausage Boil Combo, and had it prepared Cajun Style. The flavor was unreal!!! I had the snow crab legs this time, but look forward to the king option on our next visit. The rest of the family all ordered fried options, and ate almost every bite! The sweet potato waffle fries were a good starter for us, and we got them well before the actual meal came out. They were served with a brown sugar, and cinnamon spread! The service was friendly and the restaurant's appearance is quite nice! The bar area beautiful, and some classic yet modern machine video games are by the bathrooms for the kiddos. We will definitely be going back. However, I would recommend that they add a few more grilled fish options, and fried flounder. They should add tuna, mahi mahi, grouper, sea bass, etc, for those folks watching their belt lines. By doing this and keeping their food delicious, they should have a long and healthy business life! read more

Food and service was great. We will be coming back. We had the crawfish and fried oysters which was fixed perfectly. The crawfish boil in their sauce is unbelievable. Give them a chance and you will be coming back! read more
