We came on a Sunday around 1:30 and I was expecting a crowd but it was a few patrons in the restaurant and no one at the bar. Atlanta is coming off spring break so maybe people are prepping for back to school/work next week. Our server (Darlene) was super kind and customer service friendly. She took the time to explain the best way to order so we maximized our options on side items. She checked on us a few times and brought extra lemon and butter and bind as needed. I had a Long Island ice tea. I had read the reviews prior to coming and expected a drink much stronger than what I received. My dining buddy ordered a "sneaky link" which is basically a blue mfer. She didn't think her was strong either. She order two pound of crawfish and a half pound of shrimp her sides were corn, potatoes and broccoli. I ordered a pound of crab legs and my sides were the same. ($105) The potatoes were small boiler potatoes. You could eat one potato in a full bite so if you like the potatoes, don't substitute them as they are tiny. The corn and broccoli were delicious. We both got medium spicy and I could have gotten mild. I didn't think it was overly spicy but if my nose starts running while eating a seafood bag I'm not trying to wipe my nose and eat. Ewww The place had a nice mellow R&B playlist going but again, I was here at 130ish on a Sunday afternoon. We had a 15% off coupon. The manager has to add the discount after the check is printed, so if you have the coupon be sure to make sure it's applied. read more

First , we walk in and we don't even get greeted , then we waited like 30 mins for the appetizer and then even the entree was taking forever to come out . Then our waitress was very aggressive and rude , seemed like we were bothering her every time we asked for something . Blonde wig , lashes , her name is kimorra (?) The food was mediocre and the fried calamari didn't even seemed fully cooked on the inside . For all the time we waited for our food , I don't think I want to come again because of the slow service and vibe around this restaurant. Good music though ! read more

I ordered a snow crab boil with eggs and corn. I do not eat sausage. My husband ordered sausage with his meal. When the food arrived, sausage was included in my boil by mistake. I politely asked the waitress if the meal could be remade or corrected.Instead of resolving the issue, the manager, David , instructed the waitress to tell me to remove the sausage myself. When I declined, he removed my plate without explanation and never returned to the table. He later removed my husband's meal as well, incorrectly stating that I said I didn't want the food.His behavior was dismissive, emotional, and unprofessional. The lack of communication and basic customer service was unacceptable. I hope this issue is addressed so future guests do not experience the same treatment. read more

eh , i just didn't care for it at all . i had a to go order , so the service was alright ; the young lady at the counter acted like she wasn't going to help me when i walked up until the manger said something . the food was , alright . the sauce wasn't what i was expecting & was kinda watered down . i probably won't be back & will stick to what i know read more

Honestly the food is really good. There is a wide selection of specialty drinks and they are fairly priced. The place is set up nicely and really something McDonough needs. The only reason I'm giving only 3 stars is because of the service. It was empty when we went and it was still really slow to get anything. Looking around at the staff everyone just seemed disengaged. I never seen soo many workers just sitting on their cellphones passing time before. We only seen our server when we asked for another server to get our server. No refills on sodas or just checking on us to make sure we are doing ok. I really wanted to like this place because the food was good but would probably not go back just because of the service. read more

My Son loves this place, he and his Lady frequent it (to go orders majority of the time)! He wanted to treat his Lovely Mom to some good seafood (first timer) ! I ordered 1 pound of crab legs, with 1 pound if black mussels, broccoli and corn and new potatoes (my sauce was medium spicy with garlic) sooo good! He ordered 2 p pounds crab legs, broccoli, corn and new potatoes! It was a to go order, Everything was delicious! It's located in McDonough in a plaza (freeeeeeeee parking)! The inside is nice, colorful but it was mid day, may check them out on a weekend read more

Service was good! I had fried catfish and shrimp. They both tasted the same. Even the fries didn't taste good. I tried using tartar sauce, cocktail and hot sauce but it didn't help. My waitress did ask if I wanted to switch something out but I felt it would all be bad. The ambience was okay. Maybe I'll try it another time. read more

I ordered the hush puppies and lunch fried tilapia. The hush puppies tasted like the food service frozen hush puppies. They were still cold inside. I found it odd they were not homemade since they are highlighted as an appetizer. The tilapia was dark, watery, and fishy tasting. I asked the server about the fish not being edible. She stated she needed to let the manager know. The server came back and stated the manager told her I must not be use to their type of breading. It was very disappointing. I went with the intention of getting crab. When I arrived a little after noon and I was the only customer in the restaurant I did not feel comfortable getting the crab. I asked the server if the crab is fresh or frozen and she said she thought it might come there fresh. #stillinsearchofgoodseafoodinHenryCo read more

My first time hearing about Yami Crab was this evening right before I got here and after dining here I'm pretty impressed. To begin, I must say I was on a date but this place is great for a solo outing or a group outing which I noticed a lot of on this particular evening. Also there is more than enough parking in the plaza parking lot as well. It was a bit packed so it took us maybe 10 mins to be seated but that's what you have to deal with pretty much anywhere on a Saturday night. Once seated we pretty much knew what we wanted so we didn't bother letting the waitress give us time to look over the menu. I'm not particularly big on the crab boils in the bags so I ordered Fried Calamari ($7) with a side of fries ($3). It actually didn't take as long as I thought it would for both me and my date's entrees to be brought out to us. What I was most impressed was the portion size of my basket lol may sound a bit greedy but they indeed give you a lot of pieces of calamari (15 if not more) as well as a good bit of fries. You get tartar sauce and cocktail sauce along with ketchup with this particular meal too. The calamari is well cooked, seasoned just right with a desirable crunch. The fries are too. With how nicely sized the portion is, you're definitely able to eat enough, get full and save some for later. I highly recommend Yami Crab. Great food and great prices in comparison to other places. read more

It was just okay, not nasty at all but it wasnt anything to rave about. I got the combo Dungeness crab with shrimp. Again it wasnt nasty and fair priced but it just wasnt much to rave over. read more

I'm a juicy crab advocate I'm pretty sure lots of people have compared it to since the menu is nearly identical. Came in on a Monday evening for dinner. Waited about 5 minutes at the hostess stand. It's tucked away behind a Starbucks at the end of a plaza. Easy to drive by and not see. But place was clean having the hint of seafood smell. I Ordered the boil combo 1/2# shrimp head on $8 1/2# snow crab $11 and crawfish 1/2# $5 all came with corn on the cob and potato. Service was great maybe because it was slow but Amanda was super attentive to our table. I got the shaking crab special sauce HOT which was good a little salty but good. Overall place was good super identical to multiple other seafood places in Atlanta. There's nothing here that stands out to make it any different. read more

The service was started off bad when we got there we stood in the front for 10 mins before we even seated food came out fast like the drinks but the drinks didn't have enough or any alcohol in it and food was buttery no seasoning also if you want anything extra like corn sausage potatoes the charges are ridiculous I will continue to go to juicy crab with better service better food and better prices read more

The food is very good they have the second best p I've ever had the best fried calamari and all I have to say is Juicy crab watch out cuz shaking crab is on your Trail all the food is always season 2 Perfection the customer service is great the atmosphere is greater! Isaiah was our waiter he's a very mild-mannered humble young man it's about the tallest employee in there so when you go to the shaking crab ask for Isaiah is your waitress great customer service very well spoken and articulate. read more

Watch out The Juicy Crab McDonough....Shaking Crab is absolutely outstanding! The servers were attentive and their attitudes were positive and pleasant. My server was not the only one asking if I needed anything, her colleagues assisted to ensure that my experience, the customer, was great. Now to the food...oh the food. I ordered 1 lb of snow crab legs which was accompanied by potatoes and corn on the cob. It was flavorful, spicy and unbelievably filling. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by Shaking Crab. It is worth every penny. read more

I eat here often at least once a week if not more I order half pound green muscles half pound clam, but I'm starting to notice more than I do. The muscles are not washed. They still have debris on them. The potatoes are not cooked and the bag is oiler an heavy seasoning like it was the bottom of the pot a they decided to serve it to go. The service is always good the young people at the counter are always respectful. Never came in to eat but Thursday is karaoke night. It sounds fun. read more

Pretty much a carbon copy of The Juicy Crab. Shrimp cooked to perfection. Here, not enough garlic taste in butter garlic sauce. Also chintzy on corn potatoes. Hush puppies much better. Service was good for us. Pretty much a wash. Shrimp at Juicy Crab get the nod by a nose. read more

Yami Crab - Seafood Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

I heard the name and I immediately laughed and knew I had to try it. To me, it's not a carbon copy of Juicy but it's in the same family. Due to Covid-19, they have converted everything to curbside delivery and take-out. I went on a Friday because I was curious as to how the food tasted. They had a crowd but most of folks ordered online. Where you go to order is super small, so no more than 2 people can be in there making orders. I ordered the double crab seafood boil. At this location, they are offering only seafood bags to order. No fried foods or orders currently. The food was very good and not too salty. I tried the mild because I wasn't sure how spicy medium was going to be. There are two reasons why I am taking a star is the organization of their online orders from their need to order people. There was no division from the two. There were people who had been waiting for 15 minutes for their food, and the staff thinking they haven't ordered. In addition, my corn was very soggy and not crisp or fresh. read more

I've ordered from this location many times. They have the best crab legs and yummy seasonings. I use to think I didn't like crab but once I came here I realize "oh, I didn't like THEIR (another person's) crab legs" I'm a love Calamari and I've ordered their Calamari many times. Each time it comes out hot, made to order, and so crispy and delish it also comes with sauce that pairs quite well. Their sweet potato fries are good I was expecting shoe lace fries but they're waffle fries. My only problem is that when I ordered Cajun fries they forgot the Cajun I went back and they gave me a sauce container filled with the Cajun seasoning. They weren't rude or dismissive about the mistake and fixed the issue quickly. Due to Covid they're doing pick up/to go only. read more

Fresh and good! Service is good. No long wait. I enjoy it everytime I go. Go try it out- McDonough GA

Favorite seafood place to order egg and potatoes from with the yami special spicyyyyy

The Dungeness crab boil was good and had a lot of flavor. I would've liked more than 1 potato and 1 corn on the cob though. I can't recommend the raw oysters however. They seemed to have just be thawed out because there was a lot of water in the shell and absolutely no flavor in the oysters. read more

Came in from Colorado to watch our team play Softball Nationals and craving some seafood. This place is close to our hotel and and highly recommended. No doubt, the Shaking Crab is the place to come and get your fill. I had the catfish and the family had all the crab broil. OMG!!! So delicious. I think we will be coming back everyday... if you get anything other than the crab-legs. Make sure to order the Cajun sauce to add to your entree.... you will NOT BE disappointed. read more

The reason I give it 5 stars is not cause of the food, if it was I'll probably give 3.5? But I'm giving 5 stars cause of the SERVICE! And when I say service I'm ONLY talking about the waitress YOLANDA!!! She's amazing! Super nice and every time we come in she knows, she always comes to take our order and takes care of us . She's super sweet man and I don't even know her but she serves us and takes care of us with so much hospitality. If you come in definitely ask for her but y'all better leave her a nice tip if y'all do ask for her, we always do! read more

We were excited to see a new seafood restaurant in McDonough. It was nice when we entered . People were friendly. My friend and I ordered the same thing . 1/2 lb crab legs and a 6 oz lobster tail , came with corn and potato. My friend ordered ice tea , when it came it was basically colored water. She changed to dt coke. When the food came everything was swimming in a greasy , over spiced of garlic butter. Usually crab and lobster comes steamed in some old bay with clarifies butter for dipping. These were swimming in a greasy soup . Nice size crab and lobster but very off putting in the sauce. It was so soaked it made it difficult to hold onto the food! If they were to simply steam the food it would have been much better was almost to strong to eat and really masked the flavor of th Tried a second time, much better, fresh seafood and a lot less seasoned. Would go back ! Glad I tried a second time read more

Terrible service! We waited for 30 minutes and was still never acknowledged. Our server walked past our table several times without making eye contact. Yes, I understand restaurants are short staffed, but it takes 10 seconds to say hi!! This was our first and last visit! read more

We came on a Sunday, for lunch (shortly after they opened). We were promptly greeted, and our waitress came to check on us shortly after being seated. My boyfriend and I frequent many seafood boil restaurants, and this one was on our list after passing it one day. We ordered the calamari for appetizer and 1/2 lb of shrimp and crabs, with the shaking sauce hot. We told our waitress we were sharing the food. The calamari came out quickly, and was really good, probably the best I've had at one of these seafood spots. It was just the right spice, and the sauce they serve with it is yummy. Our boil came out shortly after. Our first gripe was that our waitress didn't give us any gloves or bibs (most seafood spots do). We went ahead and started eating. The spice mix was really good, and was just the right amount of spice. However, their was a lot of oil in our bag, A LOT. It was as if the mix didn't cook enough for the oil to burn off. We haven't written this spot off, but compared to the other seafood spots such as Juicy Crab and Krab Hut; this was ranks at the bottom. We will probably give them one more try, and come at a different time to see if anything changes food wise. read more

A strong competitor for the Juicy Crab franchise. We first found out about this place when we stood in line for a table at a nearby Juicy Crab. Once frustration kicked in, I googled another location and found the Shaking Crab. Upon visit first visiting, the place was nearly empty because it was still fairly new and unfamiliar. During this recently visit, the place was popping! The wait was only 20mins and the food was great. I couldn't give it five stars this go around though because our order was messed up several times, and our appetizers came out after our entrees arrived. Small snags won't stop us from coming back though. Order: Dungeness crab with boiled eggs, sausage, potatoes, and corn (not pictured) Appetizer: Fried calamari (not pictured) read more

My new fav seafood spot!!! They have excellent food and the service is good too. I love bringing my family and friends here but have on a couple occasions not received the best service. However, I will say that my overall experience has been great! I always get the crab legs and shrimp with the shaking special seasoning. I have never been disappointed with my food! You will thoroughly enjoy yourself and I've never had to wait in line...unlike another similar spot lol. read more
