Unfortunately We didn't even get the chance to eat here but will not be returning when much better treatment is 2 minutes away. When we walked in, the restaurant was nearly empty....literally only two tables were occupied. We specifically asked the host whether we could still order from the lunch menu since it was getting close to 3:00 p.m., and we were told yes. After being seated and waiting for our drinks, it was 3:18 p.m. When we went to order, our waitress informed us that we could no longer order from the lunch menu because it was after 3:00. If the cutoff was strict, we should have been told that before being seated, especially since we asked about it upfront. Instead, we wasted our time only to be given completely different information by another employee. The lack of communication between the staff was frustrating and unprofessional. We chose to leave rather than order from the regular menu. Hopefully management can improve communication so future guests don't have the same experience. read more

I did a carryout so I don't have a review of the ambiance or service. But I ordered the shrimp boil that came with a half pound of shrimp, corn and potatoes...no sausage....I should've bought more shrimp cause the sauce was soooo good. Sometimes with these boils the sauce is very SALTY....not this spot!! Great mix of seasoning and spice! Price was good. Only complaint is some of the shrimp seemed soft. Otherwise this was a great way to end my quick visit to Charlotte read more

I was so confused when I saw the name of this place that I had to look it up to make sure it wasn't affiliated with the hamburger joint. Let me assure you it's not and let me also assure you they know what they're doing when it comes to boiled seafood I got the shrimp the corn, the potatoes and they were fantastic and will be a regular order for me when I'm in Charlotte. read more

Stopped by here for dinner on a trip and I'm glad I did. I had the seafood boil special with snow crab legs, shrimp, and mussels, plus corn on the cob and potatoes. Everything was great! Really hit the spot after driving all day. Would go back if I pass this way again. read more

We selected the Shake Shake Seafood restaurant due to its distinctive Jukebox feature, which perfectly complemented our Mother's Day celebration. Upon arrival, we curated a playlist of our favorite tunes on the Jukebox, accompanied by orders of drinks and a Fried Calamari appetizer. Opting for variety, we chose the shrimp, snow-crab, and black mussel combo shaker bag along with a fried shrimp basket. Notably, one female patron was inspired to rise from her seat and dance briefly as our selected music played, creating a convivial atmosphere that likely enhanced the experience for all Mother's Day attendees. The cuisine was outstanding, and the boiled seafood shaker bags came with a selection of seasonings and spice levels, though I don't recall ours specifically. The seafood in the shaker bag was cooked to perfection, and the fried seafood was both tasty and crispy. If I were to offer a suggestion, the corn on the cob in the shaker bag might have benefited from slightly less cooking time. We emptied the bag, save for the juices, and even ordered hush puppies to enjoy with the remaining broth. Our server was exceptional, providing unhurried service, keeping our beverages replenished, and ensuring an overall memorable Mother's Day experience. read more

My niece came in from out of town over the weekend, where we were talking about our favorite 'seafood boil' place and how we missed it. We did a google search and came across Shake Shake. I've eaten here twice in once week. The hostess was very nice and patient each time that I've gone. The seafood boil was amazing both times! I highly recommend the 'create your own seafood' bag. read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon. Place looks clean but the Ladies room had a terrible smell and was not clean. I saw several air freshners in there and it was not helpful! I did inform the hostess. Our server was ok. He tried to balance handling the bar and waiting on some tables but the bar patrons received faster attention. My daughter's order was not correct and it was quickly fixed. Modifications and requests were handled well. I agree with my daughter that the vibe was off here. I am not sure if I will return. read more

It was awesome. Had a craving for a seafood boil. Excellent service and attention to detail. Full bar on the center with seating all around. I actually made a mistake with my GPS by misspelling the name in the direction address. Thank you Waze! Expansive menu with both fried and boiled. Fried baskets of chicken tenders, shrimp, fried fish & wings. The boiled seafood with seafood combos or make your own. Mine was crab legs, mussels, sausage, eggs, corn and potato. It was delicious with the juicy special. Think garlic, butter, Cajun with some heat. Great experience with friendly service. I will go back very soon read more

Food was alright, I would probably go spicier next time. Service was pretty slow though, and I say this as a server. We sat around for a while waiting to get attended at our table on a pretty slow night. Server only came back with food and when we had to checkout. read more

Shake Shake Seafood - Seafood Boil - Seafood Near Me - Pineville, North Carolina

Not impressed. Fried flounder had no flavor and heavy greasy crust. Hush puppies were not cooked all the way through. They had lots of sides, but would not let me substitute my fries for any of them - corn, potatoes, sweet potato fries. What the heck. I had the option of paying $1 more for onion rings which I did not want. Kids ordered peel and eat shrimp - I totally did not understand the menu I guess - I had to pay for an individual 1/2 cob of corn ($1.25) and 1 small boiled potato ($1) for each of them - this was not a kids meal. Will not go back. We wanted to try something closer to home, but will just head back to Captain Steve's when we want good fish. read more

I just want yall to know that you saved my life. I was so hungry after a long flight and that fact that you delivered to my hotel so late in the evening was clutch! The seafood boil was so good, I did not want to share with my cousins. They all ordered from you the next night. The delivery driver was courteous and prompt. Next time I'm in Charlotte, I'll slide by. read more

Shake Shake Seafood - Shrimp crawfish sausages yummy - Seafood Near Me - Pineville, North Carolina

It's hard to stick out in the over saturated seafood boil market, someone really needs to shake things up :) I decided to treat myself to seafood, and my options were plentiful. I decided on Shake Shake due to it's awesome location next to "Marsh Park" a very nice green way trail area to go to after stuffing your face here. My initial thoughts of the dining space isn't anything special, it's decently large with a very nice spaced out bar in the middle. It's very well lit with lots of booths for couples and groups, the standard table set up is still there of course. It was nice to see the well mapped handicap accessible walk way into the restaurant also. I decided to check out the lunch menu, I picked the calamari lunch basket with fries and hush puppies. I paired that with a fried shrimp and flounder dinner portion. The calamari was excellent and well seasoned, the shrimp were on par with the calamari. The flounder while delicious were a bit heavy on the batter and light on the actual protein. Outstanding bake on the entire basket, including the cajun fries (not spicy just right amount of seasoning). The hush puppies tasted a bit flat, they needed a note of sweetness or garlic...but more than just hot corn meal. While I can't speak for the crab boil portion of the menu, I can say Shake Shake does most things right for 10.00 fried calamari or shrimp basket's with an ample amount of fries and a couple hush puppies included...you'll feel like you had a decent lunch break. My server/bartender worked dual shifts and she did it flawlessly. I wasn't able to capture her name but amazing job! I'll be back partly because the customer service was also 5 stars. Pro Tip: Items such as crabs are market price, and this is a volatile market currently. Avoid the sticker shock, dont be afraid to call in and see what the rates are for the fresh seafood items before you arrive. read more

This used to be my favorite seafood boil restaurant, well the independence location. Today that changed. I ordered a pound of shrimp. Almost half of them weren't clean. When I informed the manager he shrugged his shoulders and said "we'll we order them deveined". I couldn't even eat them. He charged full price and offered no apology. My server said that was the second time that someone complained about the shrimp that day, and his response was the same. He didn't even offer an alternative option. If I visit again, it will be the independence location. read more

Had their fried flounder, fries, corn, hush puppies. Flounder had a great crunch and coating but the skin was still on. It ruined the flavor of the fish for me. The corn was overcooked to a mush. The fries were great. If they at least removed the skin from the fish, it would've been perfect. read more

Great flavors. Great portions. Great drinks. Checked all the boxes for me. Solo dining while on business. Sat at the bar and Antonio was bartending. I went all in on the Lobster tail, Snow Crab, Shrimp special. Heat level medium - will opt for hot next time. Juicy special flavoring. Mmmm, mmmm! Delicious! Though I'm not deducting a start for it, I would have preferred a metal fork and real plate rather than the plastic and styrofoam provided, but hey, it's pretty much an eat with your hands experience. read more

Shake Shake Seafood - Lobster tail, snow crab and shrimp special (this is a little less than half of the total portion served in the bag) - Seafood Near Me - Pineville, North Carolina

Went a few days ago, the food was so delicious and the music and ambiance were equally enticing. If you're an RnB or hiphop fan you will be satiated. Our waiter Pa, helped to accommodate my boyfriend who doesn't like a messy meal, with serving his food in a pan instead of a bag. As we're traveling through she also recommended a few spots for us to experience. Still thinking about the food as I type. read more

Stopped by here on Saturday afternoon to see what the buzz was about. I sat at the bar and ordered the shrimp, crab and lobster combo. It was a $35 special. Yes he bar tender told me to get the juicy seasoning with the medium spice level. I don't know what is I'm that juicy seasoning but I would put that sh!t on everything. It was really good. I might go back today. Breaking the crab up was a little difficult and very messy. Not gonna say it was worth it. Would I go back again. 100000%. In fact I went back a few days later and got the shrimp and sausage. It was really good and no where near as messy as the crab and lobster. If you're considering this place you should jump in your car and go. Stop questioning it. Just go. read more

Has anyone else noticed the trend toward these seafood restaurants where they do the 'boil in the bag' concept? To me it's a take off on the low country boil or crawfish boils down Louisiana Way. It's usually shrimp and something else, like crawfish, sausage or crab. I checked this place out today for lunch and found it was just OK. For lunch they have a special where you get a half pound each of shrimp & crawfish and includes a potato and corn on the cob. The shrimp were OK size, the crawfish were tiny. A small potato and small piece of corn on the cob. It was disappointing. The service was good and the price was OK but I doubt I'll be back. read more

Shake Shake Seafood - the front of the restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Pineville, North Carolina

I don't know where to start about this place other than the fact that I'm mad it's my first time trying them out! We ordered the shrimp & crab legs in a bag/seafood boil and added boiled eggs, and one with crab legs, crawfish, and extra potatoes. Both mild with the house flavors. This was one of my BEST experiences yet in regards to taste, portions, the overall cleanliness of the restaurant, and the friendly staff. I'm trying to talk myself out of going back again this week...as we were just there 3 days ago. It's definitely a great option if you enjoy seafood in a bag, fresh & full of flavor! read more

What can I say - pretty solid, fresh, and exactly what the food doctor ordered. Half pound of crab and half pound of sausage, seasoned and tasty. Service was good and the place was very clean. If you don't often eat seafood boils, it was as good as it gets really, in Charlotte. It wasn't life changing, but hit the spot. read more

arrived to this terrible place an hour before closing and was turned around because "the dining area was already closed" and was only allowing takeout . I have never EVER heard of no such thing and it was very disappointing. especially being that I am not from this area and drove a good distance specifically for this restaurant. any GOOD restaurant WOULD NEVER . so I guess I dodged a bullet. read more

Seafood alert ! I have been feenin for some crab legs for a week straight last week & did not feel like driving to all my usual go to spots for crab legs because they are on the other side of town. Low n behold I found out about the Shake Shake Seafood place by simply searching here on yelp and noticed it's not too far from my house so I decided to give it a try. Boy am I glad I decided to try somewhere new for crab legs I generally love going to king crab, well come to find out the owner of king crab owns this one as well so I knew I was in for a treat . Our waiter and bartender was the best he had us in stitches laughing the entire time and made us the best drinks ever ! We both ordered a pound of crab legs with potatoes, and corn n the Cobb pieces with the addition of the special sauce added to the bag mixture. What's in that sauce even ? I need it at home is all I know . So glad I found this one near my house It's pretty safe to say I may be a frequent visitor. read more

Background: in town on a work trip and was looking for something near my hotel - 15/20 min walking distance from my hotel. Order: I did the "make your own seafood combo": 1/2# Snow Crab Legs, 1/2# shrimp - no heads (order comes with one potato and one corn cob) The good: I love all things spicy and chose the "extra spicy" spice level with Cajun flavoring. The spice flavoring was very good, however, very spicy wasn't remotely hot. If you like a little heat, I'd recommend very spicy. The spicy and flavoring drenched the shrimp, in positive fashion. $10 for 12 (claims 1/2#) decent sized shrimp at a restaurant isn't bad. The potato and corn cob tasted just as good in the spicy and flavoring. The bad: $17.50 for two measly snow crab legs was a rip. All of the legs were that of a baby stork and contained almost no crab meat. To be fair, I knew choosing this as my second combo meat would more than likely be the case. All that wonderful flavor and spicy did not translate to the crabs legs. In between: you should be provided 3 of the potatoes and one more of the tiny corn cobs. Conclusion: if you're within walking distance and near your hotel, just do a full # of shrimp for $20, rather than the $27.50 I spent, and it's worth a try. read more

PINEVILLE, NC 12/17/19 DINNER +The crawfish is on point. Huge little critters. +The customer service was excellent. +The fried calamari was okay. -The "Juicy" sauce with 'extra hot' spicy level was okay. There was no "extra" kick to it. -The snow crab legs were a bit mushy, which indicates the meat was not freshly killed. -They were unable to offer their raw oysters. -No loyalty rewards program. There are quite a number of seafood boil joints in the Charlotte region, so I'll need to try them all to see which spots outshine one another.

This place was amazing - the garlic butter Cajun sauce is aroma therapy. Amy was the best waitress!

I'm still on the fence about this place. Visited on Saturday evening. Thought it would be busy since it just open.. But fortunately for us. It wasnt. It's hard to find for a bit. And it's not well light either.. Food: 3/5 I ordered 1/2 lbs Dungeness crabs. And 1/2 lbs shrimp with no heads. It comes with ONE POTATO AND ONE CORN. I didn't want to make a big deal but I was in my feelings. I love those corn and potatoes. And my Cajun seasoning was pretty good. My friend order: 1/2 crawfish, 1/2 mussels and 1/2 shrimp. Very spicy. But it came short of the seasoning. I don't eat spicy food but I can handle it.. needless to say, it's not spicy at all! and on this note: We can ONLY order 1/2 lbs at a time.. Can't do whole pound or more of anything. Our server: Henry 5/5. He was great. On point. Check on us often Restaurant: 4/5 meh decorating. Not much different from the previous owner. I believe it was a sushi place before. Very bland, yet clean, doesn't smell like seafood and spacious. With many other places offering seafood boil in a bag.. I doubt I will patron this place again.. read more

New seafood restaurant in Pineville. Located on Leitner Drive just across from the Carolina Place mall. The menu is simple with options for all types of combinations of seafood. On the menu You'll find crablegs, king, snow & dungeness. Lobster , Crawfish, shrimp & clams and more. The restaurant was open 3 days now and didn't have availability on several items they advertised as menu items. That was to me a big miss. The biggest issue I had was upscale seafood prices with no class utensils and plates. Plastic forks and knives served on styrofoam plates was what you're given to eat on. The food came in a baggie steamed. Served on a metal round tray. I chose the seafood combination which gave you the choice of two seafoods and came with a small corn and three small potatoes. You choose your sauce for the food to be cooked in. I chose garlic butter on the side. There was a bucket and cracker to crack the crablegs and a bib and gloves if you felt you needed them. The amount of food served was minimal. So be prepared to pay 30 bucks a person and then you may still be hungry. Another fun fact was the music. Loud and what I found annoying was it was rap then followed by Alvin & the chipmunks singing Christmas songs.. Really wierd. I can't say it was great cause it wasn't . The crab legs were hard to get out of the shell and there was no metal fork to assist. Only a plastic fork that broke immediately. Maybe it will get better but for that price I'd probably find better options. read more

Shake Shake Seafood is a really good experience for a first time with this version of seafood boils. I got the mussels shake shake bag and it was a decent, but one complaint I do have is the fact that some of the mussels were not cleaned of their beards and they were still attached and it was pretty grimy. The sauce that they where in however was very good. All in all pretty good experience besides that one complaint! read more

we did the all you could eat 39.99$ deal. the food was AMAZING! you have to try the hush puppies by far the best ones i have ever eaten. the 90 minute limit is kind of wild to me (you have to eat all your food within 90 minutes or you get charged by the pound of what you have left over). our waitress tried to say we only had 35 minutes left when in reality we still had almost an hour...MAKE SURE you keep your tickets that are on your bags of seafood they bring out. it tells what time your "timer" starts. the only reason i'm giving 4 stars is because our waitress was kind of mid...had to beg for drink and our buckets filled up rather fast and she only changed it after we had to ask. otherwise, the food was 10/10. read more
