    Went with friends for R&B brunch and I have to say was a good time listening to great music the service was a little slow not appropriate for a busy brunch time they needed more wait staff as well as bartenders waited long for drinks and food but we made the best of it we enjoyed the food and the music. Drinks could have be better.

    Deep Ocean boil

    Had the Deep Ocean Boil and Seafood Galore. The food was alright. Had the crab legs, crayfish, lobster tail clam, shrimp, sausage, potato, and corn. The clams had little meat and the lobster tail was very chewy and overcooked. The sausage wasn't great either, very thin and no flavor. The ambiance was relax and very busy with customers. Service was ok and it took a while to get the paycheck, utensils and napkins. The waitress was nice and enthusiastic even though she was very busy serving other guests. Overall it's ok

    All you can eat seafood for $65, I'm down. Monday- Thursday, Shaking Crab offers AYCE for $65, 90 min time limit. The food was delicious. I ordered the crab legs, easy peel shrimp, lobster tails (extra but worth it), corn, potatoes, broccoli and catfish. Yum!! My friend ordered something similar but with crawfish (not her fav) and garlic noodles. For Halloween, they have themed cocktails. The Spiked Pineapple Cobbler in a "blood bag" tasted like rum punch and was well-made. We also had the margarita flight. The strawberry marg was the best. In regards to service, it was a busy Tuesday (yes this spot is lit on Tuesdays lol). They have a DJ, hookah, the works. Our service seemed to be the only waitress but she was nice. Menu Highlights: Lobster tails, catfish and corn with Cajun and Barlic season!

    The food was good don't get me wrong but that's not for me. It's a young crowd and it's like Hook n Reel with a DJ. Our bill was ridiculous. I asked for the pouch to go but ordered a punch bowl for $26.00. I got the pouch but not the rest of my drink for $26.00. I think the owner is name Fanny. Please fix your prices and let people know the prices of the drinks. It wasn't worth $302.

    Service is amazing. Good deliciously amazing. Mac and cheese is very cheesy. The Ambiance is so sweet great for groups. There's a place with a backdrop to take pictures it's great.

    Shaking Crab was a really life of a party type of place!! The staff and service was amazing , and for events to celebrate they really go all out to attend their customers. I recommend to get the best for your buck is arriving at 4-6pm to get their AYCE special as that's a great price for $45. Of course, with that price, there's not much seafood to choose from but it's very filling. Choices they have are snow crab legs, shrimp, mussels , crawfish and clams. You would pay $10 extra if you wanted a lobster tail or crab. I personally thing I was satisfied with the base set as you get a lot of sides like noodles, potatoes and more. One thing I loved were their $5 rum punches as those were strong. The music playing was a great choice but be mindful it can be a bit loud. Also once you pay, there's 18% gratuity included already plus taxes so that will raise your bill higher than expected. I would visit again to try their other options but it's a good place to go to in the Bronx! Check it out!

    This Shaking Crab is more than a seafood spot, it's also a good time! The DJ is always rocking, playing great music and the drinks are delicious. I always order the lemon pepper crab legs because they're always so tasty ($35). I've tried the other flavors, Envie and butter, but the lemon pepper is the perfect balance of salty and tangy that brings out the flavor in the crab meat. I love their passion fruit lemonade and the Mac-n-cheese hits. I will say that for a smaller establishment, the service is a bit slow and you will find yourself waiting a bit to get served and receive your check. However, the waiters are always friendly and I've never experienced bad service. On the weekends, this might as well be a club lol It has a great energy to it and the bar is always filled with folks sitting to watch the current sports game while enjoying good drinks, eats and the live DJ. If you're just looking to sit down and eat and enjoy a quiet meal, it may not be the best place for you. However, if you're looking for a good time while enjoying your meal, definitely go.

    I took my girlfriend out to celebrate her birthday on a Tuesday, and let me just say--12/10! She had such an amazing time! The fact that our server, Anna, remembered it was her birthday from just one small interaction was so thoughtful and sweet. The food was incredible--saucy, fresh, and everything came out steaming hot! Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a spot to celebrate something special, I highly recommend coming here. Anna was absolutely awesome--her vibe and energy were unmatched!

    Went here on a Wednesday which was karaoke night. My friends and I had a ball. There weren't too many patrons there so we took over the mic for karaoke lol. We kept ordering drinks, the server was so nice. I wish I could remember her name. She did karaoke behind the bar as well. The food was good. I ordered a kids meal which was very filling because I wasn't hungry much. Would come back again to turn up with friends!

I'm also happy to report that their happy hour, though still in its early stages, is shaping up to be a solid way to give them a try. We ordered the mussels frites, fish sliders, crab bites, Brussels sprouts, and the pretzel with cheese. The absolute standouts were the fish sliders and the mussels in wine sauce. We usually get the fish and chips and mussels from the regular menu, so we had a feeling these would be the winners and they were. I'd 100% recommend both plates. We ended up ordering two rounds of fish sliders so that should say it all! :) The Brussels sprouts were roasted and simply prepared, which I really appreciated. I'm honestly over seeing fried Brussels on every menu, they're rarely that good and oily. If I could tweak anything, I'd add a sauce or drizzle for a little extra dimension, maybe balsamic or a sweet chili dip. Still, I'd absolutely order them again; they make for a great, lighter snack or side. The pretzel was pretty standard, but I liked that it didn't come salted since the cheese sauce has plenty of seasoning. It came out piping hot and stayed that way until the very last bite.  The crab bites were just okay for me. The sauce they come with is tasty, but I wish there was a little more flavor mixed into the crab itself, maybe some onions, peppers or herbs. However, they're not bad at all; they're full of crab meat and overall really solid. If you prefer a simpler flavor profile, you'll probably love them, especially with a squeeze of fresh lemon. We genuinely love Dakota's, and we'll keep coming back to enjoy the views and the great service. It's been nice seeing them evolve into a true neighborhood staple with all the events they've been hosting. Right now they're even running a toy drive, and they have toys available on site that you can purchase and drop directly into the donation box. Such a clever and thoughtful touch.  It's also worth mentioning that they're in full holiday mode right now, with decorations throughout the space. Whether you just want to soak up the festive atmosphere or snap a cute picture by the tree, they've got you covered.

The vibes were amazing from start to finish: great music (major shoutout to the DJ), perfect lighting, and a lively, fun atmosphere that made the night feel special. The food was fantastic and the portions were huge -- seriously, two or three people could've eaten from my plate alone. I ordered the pernil with rice and beans, plus a variety appetizer platter. The pork was juicy (though I do wish the skin was a little crispier), the beans were flavorful, and both the garlic and chimichurri sauces were top-notch. The potato salad was okay, but overall, the meal delivered big flavor and big portions. Since it was my birthday, the team surprised me with a birthday flan and tres leches dessert plate that the restaurant provided. It was the perfect ending -- sweet, creamy, and delicious. The birthday celebration itself was incredible; you truly feel like a superstar. Between the LED signs, the DJ shoutouts, and your name flashing across the booth screen, the energy was unmatched. The drinks were just okay, nothing to write home about, but they got the job done. The only other downsides were the limited parking (especially at night) and the two-hour time limit for our party of ten. Still, it was a fantastic night overall. Great food, great vibes, and a truly fun experience. I'd highly recommend Made in Puerto Rico for birthdays, team outings, or anyone looking for flavorful food and an energetic atmosphere.
