The food quality here is excellent. We got a steamer basket of crawfish and shrimp fried tilapia basket and shrimp basket. The shrimp is huge and juicy. The steamer basket is full of food - I recommend the garlic butter sauce mixed with Cajun. Fried shrimp is on point. And really affordable. Each one of us was around $20 read more

Shaking Crawfish - Seafood Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

Purchased shrimp. Sausage and snow crabs on 5/8/2036 and had them to use all flavors. Shrimp was so small, crab had no meat in it and so small and Sausage was to salty. I paid $43.00, I'll never set foot back in that restaurant. The only thing that was good was they $5.00 Beer. read more

I tried Shaking Crawfish for lunch today. Honestly I had driven by here before and thought they were out of business because the parking lot is always empty. But I checked yelp and saw they were open. They were completely empty. Never a good sign. I was here between 12 and 1 for lunch and I was the only customer. One other party came in while I was eating. But that was it. I did not see any to go orders going out either. Several other yelp reviews said the prices were reasonable and the portions large. I am not sure what you consider reasonable, but I can't pay $40 or more for lunch. So the seafood boils were out. I know crab legs costs money, but that also means they are out of my price range. I went with a fried everything platter for $17. Well the food was really good. Made to order and served fresh and hot. The oysters were perfect, crunchy and creamy at the same time. The shrimp were juicy not overcooked. Everything well seasoned. The hush puppies probably came out of a bag frozen. Sweet style with whole corn kernels. But they were good too. The catfish was I think pre breaded, but well seasoned. Everything tasted great so they immediately went from a 1 to a 3. I can't say it's a great value but they do seem to be priced accordingly considering the cost of fresh seafood. I would go 4 but the empty parking lot and weird vibe just left me a bit uneasy. I would say 4 for food. 1 for atmosphere. 3 stars overall. Try it, but carefully. I plan to return. read more

Very good seafood and crawfish with beer and wine. Went there with two friends and we all enjoyed a nice lunch. My favorite were the two orders of oysters. They went elbow deep with the rest... and left no evidence behind... read more

I am so happy that I found another spot other than Juicy Crab for bagged seafood!! The prices are reasonable, the food is fresh and the portions are big. Thoroughly enjoyed the flavors. I didn't feel overloaded with sodium or bloated, as I often do after eating at other restaurants. There are no kids menus. But there are lots of fried basket options that kids can enjoy. My daughter enjoyed the fried catfish. Pretty crunchy and a good flavor. The butterfly shrimp were a little hard. Wouldn't recommend for kids. They also have crinkly fries - which were pretty good. I took away 1 star bc the service was a tad slow. We ate in the restaurant and there were no more than 2 other tables seated during the duration of dinner. Service was very slow or non-existent. No one asked if we needed anything after the food was delivered and we had to flag down our server for drink refills. Shouldn't have to flag down a server when 3 tables are seated. read more

I'm so confused why this place has such a low rating for their seafood when it's amazing! I came across this place from google restaurants in the area, and the reviews were good, however on Yelp, not so great. I still decided to give it a shot! Being from Miami and have even exposed to real seafood, I know what good food really is, and this place did not fail! Service was fast and food came out within 15minutes which was freshly prepared. The restaurant was clean, no bad smell of spoil seafood. I ordered the oyster basket ( 10 huge fresh oysters fried perfect), pound of crawfish with lemon pepper seasoning (amazing flavor), my brother had the special with the cluster snow crab, headless shrimp, and fried shrimp... amazing food! I'm definitely returning back before I head home. read more

Quirky ambiance, good food, lousy server. I wasn't really sure what to make of this place. I pass it quite often, wondering whether or not to go on. With the Red Lobster rebirth but not wanting their dusty-looking crab boil, my daughter and aI decided on this place. The ambiance looked just like you'd you expect from a seafood restaurant on an island beach. It wasn't very busy but it was early. The food was good. I got the boil with a lobster tail and my daughter got the mussels. I'd rate the food a solid 8/10. The potatoes were too big and undercooked. The only issue I had was the waitress. You don't have to have an over the top fake bubbly personality, but this girl was dry, non-responsive and stone faced. I cracked a joke but she just stood there. She got us water and eventually our food, but after that, she only came back and brought more water without speaking. In fact, she never uttered another word to us other than offer a to go bag. We left her a tip, gathered our things, and got out of there. As we were leaving, we thanked her and swear to god she never looked up. She turned what could've been a positive experience into an awkward ordeal. I could say it was just us, but she was like this to others. There's nothing worse than someone who hates their job so much that they wear it on their face. It felt uncomfortable, we couldn't wait to leave. On the other hand, the male waiter who took care of his customers was engaging, helpful and nice. I wish we had THAT guy. I could say I don't recommend it, but the food is good. If anyone gets that waitress, I'm letting you know we are brothers/sisters in the struggle. Based on that experience, we won't return. The food wasn't cheap and we shouldn't have had to put up with a dry, funky attitude. read more

This used to be my go-to spot for catfish and tilapia at a good price. I hadn't been in a couple of months, so I treated myself, but the fillets were less than half the usual size--shockingly small. The price has also gone up, so it felt like paying more for much less. I'll give them one more try because the food is usually good, but this was very disappointing. read more

Service was friendly and fast. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Great price for a good portion of seafood. We enjoyed our food as it was fresh and flavorful. We will be back soon. Also the decor was cute! read more

We moved to Atlanta in 2016. We've driven past SC plenty of times. Admittedly, I've been interested in trying SC but have kept 'saving' it for later. 8 years later, I finally see what I've been missing. We were staying in the area for a school play and needed dinner before it started. Acelyn and I ordered our own seafood boils. I went with dungeness crab and crawfish in a coconut curry. SO delicious! I might have over-ordered for myself but I couldn't stop until my bag was empty. read more

Being from Houston, it's hard to find a place to beat crawfish from Houston. However, it definitely had been way harder than I thought it would be to find decent crawfish in ATL. Having been to multiple places, I thought Shaking had the best flavor and freshness. The jumbo crawfish were big and easy to peel. Meat is always fresh and does not disintegrate. Their raw oysters had always been super fresh too. My go to place for crawfish! read more

I always like eating crawfish and know when it's good or fresh. I was craving for crawfish and my husband helps me to search for the crawfish restaurant and found this restaurant. He called in and asked if it's live crawfish and the answer is yes. So, we went in and order to go. We were told that it's 15-20 minutes wait. We paid and even pay tip and wait for food. I notice that they took care of the customers in the restaurant before the take out. Eventually, we got food after about one hour wait with the hope that the food is good. After trying the crawfish, it was NOT fresh at all and it was not large as described (yes, some large but very few. Mostly, they are small). Definitely, we are not going back. read more

Orders 2 baskets of fried oysters bag combo e and c and split amongst 4. It was a lot of food! It was very flavorful though. I forgot the seasoning we got but super garlicky. -1 star only because they served crinkle cut fries. In my opinion, every fries potato is great but crinkle cut is probably the worst of them. read more

I think the 3.5 average for this place is probably fair. I tried this place for the first time via Uber Eats pick-up last night, since I had a 40% off coupon to use. I was torn on what to order and will most likely order one of the seafood boils next time, since that seems to be their specialty. However, I went with the fried calamari and hush puppies with a side of clam chowder to keep things fairly affordable and simple. There were no issues ordering thru Uber Eats for self pick-up - everything was ready on time, and still warm, despite me having to fight that crazy ATL traffic with 2+ accidents on BuHi slowing things down. Even after sitting for about an hour (since of course, I had to use the restroom and fill my tires on the way home also), everything was still at a good temperature surprisingly. The calamari was still crisp, so shout out to the chef for that! When you pick up, there's a window directly to the left of the entrance inside where they hand you your food through a little door, so essentially contactless delivery which is always good in these times. It was a quick in-and-out process, and I was thankful there was plenty of parking even on a crazy Friday night. The girl who helped me was nice, and everything was packaged securely which I always appreciate, especially when there are a lot of sauces or soup included. Although, the texture and cooking of it was great, the seasoning on the calamari was quite a bit lacking for my taste. I prefer a saltier or more flavorful batter and this wasn't it. The "garlic butter" tasted just like plain butter, so not sure if they mixed that up - it was not salty or flavorful at all. However, the spicy mayo and sweet chili sauce that came with the calamari at least were nice complements to the dish and added flavor. The hush puppies were not anything special; I would say Captain D's does a better job on those overall, but they were worth a try. My favorite item was the clam chowder - it had all the flavor that the calamari and hush puppies lacked. I would get this item again, along with a seafood boil. I'm disappointed I didn't get any corn or potatoes as Uber Eats lists these items as included with the calamari and other dishes, but this wouldn't be the first time UE had an incorrect listing or issue. I guess I'll have to come back for the aforementioned items, along with the gumbo at check-in, but overall not a bad experience and definitely worth a try. read more

The food here is awesome! You need to come quickly. It is very good and the building is clean from what I can tell.

The gumbo was good and I am not judgmental and I am open to try different variations. Noooo they didn't have hot dogs in them so I'm good! read more

This is a disgusting restaurant! The SEAFOOD is not FRESH! I repeat the SEAFOOD is not fresh! From the fried food to the boil/steam food. Everything is frozen and imitation. The sauce is super sweet.

She was on her phone the entire time not doing anything. She never came over to check in on us . read more

Shaking Crawfish is our go-to for seafood near our home. Located on Buford Highway, this place is hard to miss with its unique looking building. The style of the building is actually what made me interested in trying it out. The Atmosphere: To me, the interior of Shaking Crawfish looks like a ship that crashed and plummeted to the bottom of the ocean, with fishing nets hanging all over and boat steering wheels. I feel this decor adds to the dining experience. The Service: Eh, the service is okay. Never had anyone rude or a bad experience, but if I could give any advice, I'd possibly request that they be a bit more attentive. Check on customers from time to time. I found myself seeking a waiter/waitress more than once on different occasions. The Food: There's only ONE thing I get when I come to Shaking Crawfish: 1 pound of boiled shrimp (No head) for $14.99 with corn on the cob (.69 each). Err'thang sauce. This meal has never let me down. It comes out in a bag and you're given gloves with a bib, to prevent a mess. I highly recommend! * Once, we ordered no headed shrimp for a house warming and when we got to our location, they all had HEADS. I damn near didn't eat them. Freaked me out lol. We were also charged the No Head price as it is a little bit more. Overall, I'm definitely a fan of Shaking Crawfish. My wife and I come here often for date nights. And from the looks of our last visit, it's a pretty popular date spot for many other couples. read more

Wow! I really enjoyed the food here and the prices were out of this world. I have never had such great crab at such a low price! This is actually my new go to spot for crab and my number one suggestion anytime some asks where to go for seafood. Most other spots are hyped up, over priced, and frankly not as flavorful or filling! I liked the vibe and ambiance as well. Definitely a nice date night spot with your significant other or a cool spot to grab some seafood with some good friends! (Also! They give a free LB of crawfish to yelpers on their first checkin! So don't forget!) Can't wait to go back read more

Shaking Crawfish - Menu - Seafood Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

For ages, I've been fascinated by this uniquely-shaped building housing Shaking Crawfish on Buford Highway and have wanted to go inside. Flash forward into the future, and I finally get my chance! It's very 60s modern or something, and to top it all off, stop sign-shaped. The inside's decor reminds you of a kitschy seafood shack from the beach. Shaking Crawfish plays the same short easy listening music on an endless loop, kinda tortuous after a while. Hostage situation-like. I wasn't in the mood to labor for my food with the boils and opted to get the fried everything option, or as Shaking Crawfish calls it, "crispy fried goodness." It's a fried fest for sure. I selected the Fried Goodness Combo (Pick Three). Your choices to choose from are catfish, tilapia, shrimp (head on), butterfly shrimp, chicken tenders, oysters, and calamari. This combo is a steal at $13. Though you will feel fried food fullness later, especially with the side of fries. You can elect for either regular, sweet potato, or Cajun fries. Or hush puppies. The food was cooked well, and you have a couple of sauce options like tartar, cocktail, and a mysterious one which contained Italian dressing.  I appreciated the free cup of gumbo with Yelp check-in offer, and I was pleased that the soup wasn't bad at all. It came with plenty of seafood like shrimp and mussels. The employees aren't the most helpful or knowledgeable. I would refrain from asking questions if at all possible. The hostess was really nice and friendly though.  Parking is ample, in a lot shared with the sushi restaurant next door. If nothing else, there's a memorable nautical dining experience awaiting you inside the Shaking Crawfish! read more

After hearing mixed reviews about Shaking Crawfish (mostly about service), I was still looking forward to crossing this one off my list of Buford Highway restaurants left to try. We came on a Sunday evening for dinner with a group of 7. As others have mentioned, service is not great. However, I didn't find any trouble with our server. Just hard to find at times, but I'm used to that from many Buford Highway restaurants. My friend and I shared one Seafood Combo with the mild spice for $24.99. Not a bad deal, especially if you have the Groupon. There is plenty of food, and I definitely appreciated the amount of seafood to non-seafood ratio. Sausages were tasty and the seafood seemed pretty fresh. Gloves and bibs are provided, although I felt like I could still smell the seafood on my fingers afterward lol. Overall, I was pleased with our meal. I don't usually crave seafood boil like this but if anyone ever suggests it, I probably won't say no! read more

Shaking Crawfish - 1/2 LB Shrimp (Head off), Sausage(1/2 lb), 1/2 lb Crawfish. - Seafood Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

Got take out on the "all the seafood" boil and I am so so so so soooo disappointed!!!! Beware if you're getting take out! They will throw all rotten crap in your meal since you can't really complain if you aren't in the restaurant. They think they can get away with serving rotten seafood if the diner isn't in the restaurant. My stomach was so upset after eating the boil. I knew I should've stopped as soon as I saw the blue crab they put in the boil was rotten as hell! Legit, cracked open a claw and it was straight liquid. The crab was SO old that the meat has turned into rancid liquid! I was so grossed out I threw out the whole blue crab, and could feel how light and empty the crab was. Pretty sure blue crab is poisonous if not fresh when cooked. I just can't believe a restaurant would risk killing someone to save a few bucks on using ROTTEN crabs. Shrimp wasn't fresh either. The meat towards the head was super mushy, like would melt in between your fingers. Melting shrimp, honestly never seen that before; THAT can't be normal. I have never been so upset about a meal and honestly the health department needs to inspect better or close this place down. I spent $29 and got nothing but disappointment and shitty day (and to be honestly, quite literally). P.s. their sauce ain't good either. It's literally "layered", with all the "butter" on the top and salty seasoning on the bottom. So unless you want to dunk your fingers wayyyy down past the butter layer, you ain't gonna taste anything flavorful. read more

Let me first say that I am entirely grateful for the bib and plastic gloves. Without that I would probably have to sign an environmental impact statement. Because you really do want to just dive in headfirst into all that deliciousness. We really like this place. We've been here twice to enjoy the Seafood Combo, which is a big bucket full of all your seafood favorites: Blue Crab, shrimp (head on), clams, mussels, crawfish, crab legs, ... (along with a healthy portion of sausage, potatoes, and corn). Plus, you can choose a flavor for your seafood: Cajun, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Spread, BC Special. And then add the appropriate level of heat: plain, mild, medium, or "pass the fire extinguisher." They do have other things on the menu like fried seafood baskets or chicken wings, but I think we've found our favorite, already. A full bucket of seafood contains more than enough for two people, and the price per person is reasonable. Each time we visited, we were seated almost immediately. And strangely enough, each time we visited, there seemed to pass a significant amount of time between being seated and actually being recognized by a server. A couple of times I thought they'd forgotten about us. But this place does crank out some tasty food, and I think I'll certainly be back. Holler if you're coming with. read more

Came here for dinner and the place was pretty empty even during dinner rush. Food: Seafood combo - got it in the "er'thing" sauce and it included 1/2 pound of snow crab, blue crab, shrimp, crawfish, mussels, potatoes, sausages, etc. Sauce was not bad but the seafood was not very fresh. You could just tell by the way it tasted. The crawfish was definitely frozen. Calamari and fries - traditional fried seafood. nothing special. Oysters - too small for the price. The ones I ordered were $2.50 each. Freshness was okay I think. Service: Good/friendly service, but it was hard to locate the server when we needed something. The place is pretty big so it's not like we can just make eye contact lol I think if you're craving some Cajun crawfish/seafood, then it's worth a try. Not the best, but will have to do since there aren't many options around. read more

This place is very consistent about its seafood mixes. I have eaten here several times and loved it.

I really enjoy this place. Service is always prompt and pretty attentive (probably because I'm too busy stuffing my face and don't ask for much). Value: for the seafood combo for $26. It includes 1/2lb each of: snow crab legs, head-on shrimp, crawfish, mussels, and blue crab (read 1 here). You get the usual accompaniment of sausage, potatoes and corn. I chose the Er'thing seasoning in medium. Unfortunately, it did not have the kick I was expecting. Still good though. The shrimp and mussels were of great size. Compared to some other establishments, I must say I like the value here a lot. Atmosphere: typical seafood shack decor. Nothing out-of-this-world but I do very much appreciate the hand washing sink outside of the restrooms. Parking: I hate the parking here. There just doesn't seem to be enough. Especially when the restaurant next door is busy. I definitely recommend this place for a good seafood boil. read more

Shaking Crawfish - Seafood combo - Seafood Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

Everything in me told me to just keep driving towards the Juicy Crab instead, but I gave this place a chance. ::sighs:: No one was really in here when I arrived, so I was seated quickly. I ordered one of the bags with three seafood items. Getting crab legs is extra! The fries I ordered came first and just were fries with some seasoning on it. They were blah! My bag came next and there's too much water/liquid in it for the seafood to hold the seasoning flavor. It wasn't that great. When the waitress came to refill my drink, she spilled it all over the table and me. I'm sitting here with my pants leg soaked from Sprite!! My shoe is soaked and my foot is sticky. You would think that they would've offered to comp something, but they didn't. My fries were swimming in Sprite. Just go to the Juicy Crab instead of this place! I wish I had! read more

The food was decent. I had the $25 combo. It came loaded with food! Snow crab, blue crab, mussels, shrimp with head, corns and potatoes. It was a great sampler however be careful when you eat blue crab bc it seriously stabbed my between my nail and skin while I was trying to eat it!! :( honestly the flavor is not bad it's good! But I seriously still prefer JUICY CRAB better. My sister had the king crab and lobster , shrimp no head combo. The king crab was $5 extra and it was barely bigger than the snow crab. Lobster ($3 extra) was yummy tho. Shrimp with the heads was wayyy bigger and tasted better than the shrimp W/ no head. The service seriously needs WORK. The child that served us had a poor attitude. He never smiled at us, didn't give us any recommendations, he seemed to be rushing us even though it was not busy at all in there. If staff are properly trained this place would be a good 4/5 stars. read more

Shaking Crawfish - You can see how small the king crab is in the top bag - Seafood Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

I don't know. We ordered one of those combo bags of steamed everything. Several of the shrimp and several of the crawfish were simply mush - probably belly-burn. It's hard to like your meal after putting several of those in your mouth. The corn was also really over-cooked. The rest was fine, though I would have enjoyed a less eyebally version more. We also ordered a fried basket with shrimp (headless) and oysters and french fries. The shrimp and oysters were quite good, but not particularly plentiful, and the fries were pretty flavorless. I'd consider doubling up on the fried stuff if there were a price that excluded the fries, as I certainly don't need a giant pile of flavorless fries. read more

I had a good experience at Boiling Crawfish. All the food I had was good, but a few of my friends, who ordered different things than me, disagreed. The restaurant opened in December 2015. From what a few of us were told by one of the servers, and how I understand it, the full business name is actually "Boiling Crawfish and Crab" and the restaurant is based upon the popular Boiling Crab restaurants out west. This restaurant, in fact, uses the same Boiling Crab branded cups and gets them from The Boiling Crab's Texas location. This location, however, is not a franchise and is individually owned. Chinese ownership and staff. A second location is opening soon at the Mall of Georgia in Buford. The restaurant is located on Buford Highway near I-285 in the building that's probably best known for housing various incarnations of Chinese/Taiwanese restaurant Cafe 101. It's a unique, dated, circular shaped building. They've spiffed up the place with a big, bright, light-up sign outside and campy, beachy, nautical decor inside. I sorta like it. There are TVs playing ESPN, an oyster bar, and all tables are covered in coated disposable sheets. Since the eating is messy here (it can get so messy, they give you bibs and gloves), it makes for easier clean-up. The good stuff on the menu is listed at market price. To give you an idea on pricing, here's how much everything was during our visit: * Crawfish - $7.99/lb (buy 5 lbs get 1 lb free) * Shrimp - $11.99/lb * Blue Crab - $10.99/lb * Snow Crab - $13.99/lb * King Crab - $23.99/lb * Clams - $9.99/lb * Mussels - $7.99/lb * Lobster - $15/lb * Dungeness Crab - not available (seasonal) You purchase all of the above by the pound and each is served in a plastic bag, tossed in a sauce with spices. Sauce options include Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic spread, everything (Cajun + lemon pepper + garlic), and BC Special (described as tasting like curry). Spice levels are none, mild, medium, and hot. You can add extras into the bag, tossed in the same sauce and seasonings, such as corn on the cob ($0.69/piece), potatoes ($1.50 for 3 pieces), and sausage ($6.99). I tried the clams, mussels, corn on the cob, and sausage and thought everything was tasty. It's mainly because of the sauce, but the seafood was fresh too. I tried both the everything sauce (hot) and the BC Special sauce (medium). It was hard for me to discern between the two sauces. They might as well have been the same sauce. The sauces were very buttery, garlicky, and spicy, which is what made them so good (and bad for your health). I enjoyed slurping the sauce up from the shell with each morsel of clam or mussel. Both the clams and mussels had appetizing consistencies and no unpleasant "fishy" taste or smell. The corn and sausage were par for the course. Really, the only reason they were good is because of the sauce. Along with the aforementioned bibs and gloves, the above listed items also come with buckets (for shells), deep plates, and crab crackers if ordering crab, of course. FWIW, my friends were disappointed with the crawfish, lobster, and fried shrimp. "Rubbery" is a word I heard used by more than one person. Other food Boiling Crawfish offers include fried catfish ($8), fried shrimp ($8), chicken tenders ($5), fried oysters ($10), and fried calamari ($8) baskets. Baskets come with fries (regular or sweet potato). They also sell wings ($6 for 6 or $8 for 10) and sides like Cajun pasta, clam chowder, and gumbo ($2-3 each). I love fried catfish, so I ordered a fried catfish basket. The basket came with 4 pieces of fried catfish, which I thought was generous, atop a bed of soft and unmemorable (but not bad) sweet potato fries. I thought the catfish was OK; not significantly better or worse than fried catfish you can get just about anywhere else including Piccadilly. I wasn't a big fan of what I think was the tartar sauce. It seemed too thin. I like my tartar sauce nice and chunky. I also love raw oysters. They had 12 on the printed menu, but only 5 were available during our visit. Oyster prices ranged from $1.00 to $3.25 each. I tried one of every oyster they had: * Blue Yonder ($2.50) * Duxbury Grand ($2.25) * Duxbury Wild ($2.25) * Blue Point ($2.25) * North Carolina oysters (included on the house) The Blue Yonder and Duxbury oysters were from Massachusetts and the Blue Points from Long Island Sound. The oysters were cold, fresh, and delicious. I enjoyed every one. Some were briny, some weren't, but all were succulent. I particularly liked the Duxbury Grands. Though they weren't as strong in flavor, they were especially luscious and plump. The oysters were customarily served on ice with cocktail sauce, horseradish, crackers, and also Tabasco sauce. I want some more now just thinking about them. I thought service was good. The kitchen did get backed up because we had a large group, but I thought our two servers did a nice job. Landy was great. Payments were conveniently processed tableside via tablets. read more
