Shaking Crab Clifton

Overdue review but here it is.Shaking crab has been one of our go to spots for shrimp being that its a little closer to home and they serve pretty good flavored seafood. Our usual is their pound shrimp with Shaking Crab Sauce. It has to have the head on. There is just this better taste with the head on really lol ive tried before without it and its just not as delicious and satisfying i dont know why. Maybe its just me.Anyway, the appetizers are delicious too Loaded fries, calamari, garlic noods and the clam chowder too. Pretty much everything on the menu is good.What gets the place crowded and busy at times as well is that they offer alcoholic drinks. Definitely brings in the crowd. Come in hungry, come in thirsty, come in for the seafood, just come in…seriously.

The one in Brooklyn is the best one hands down !! My sauce literally had no flavor …..like how !? I ordered shaking hot sauce and it was nothing shaking hot about it lol I was like “oh nah this not the shaking crab I was feening for” it was cool though the boil wasn’t nasty it was just flavorless lol I had to order more sauce on the side because they barely put any in the bag

I visited this Shaking Crab restaurant location in Clifton, NJ after calling them in advance and inquiring what time their kitchen closes and what time I can be seated. The young girl that picked up the phone stated that I can be seated up until 10:15 PM, so I drove many miles to eat dinner here last night and when I get there, to my dismay, the same girl tells me that I cannot be seated inside and only takeout orders are being accepted. I ended up leaving hungry and upset. Next time, please do not lie to your customers.

I visit shaking crab Clifton often. It is way better than other shaking crabs I've been too. The food never disappoints and the service and drinks are good.

Simple, fresh and amazing!Their steamed dishes are greatTheir fried dishes are greatDrinks could be better but the food is on point if you don’t care about presentation… simple and amazing!
