Nine Restaurants Dishing Out Fresh Seafood Boils in a Bag in Las Vegas and Henderson

"Living under the motto of “bibs up, phones down, it’s shaking time,” New England-born Shaking Crab serves its East Coast twist on Cajun spiced seafood in the southwest, and already has plans for a second Las Vegas location in Chinatown. The restaurant specializes in seafood prepared in butter garlic sauces and a Louisiana-style Cajun spice mix. Diners can choose oysters, crab cakes, spicy calamari, and lobster cheesy fries appetizers, plus Alaskan king crab legs, shrimp, blue crab, crawfish, clams, mussels, and lobster tails, with options of sweet chili miso, the LV lemon pepper, and shaking hot house Cajun sauces. Online ordering available." - Susan Stapleton

My son and I flew into Las Vegas for Christmas vacation. We had time to kill before we went to the hotel so we decided to check out this place as I had already had it on my list from researching the city. We were seated and we ordered our food. We both got the bottomless seafood boil, definitely recommend. Waiter was incredibly personable and friendly and we talked for a bit. I ate enough shrimp to get iodine poisoning and the crab legs were pretty tasty too. Mid meal, two women came in from outside on the sidewalk and were beating each other's asses in the lobby. Wearing our goofy gloves and bibs, covered in seafood boil juices, we all stood up and apprehensively watched the scuffle in the lobby. You know, kind of like the deer in headlights. Staff member drew a firearm and got the hubbub out of there. Anyways, not only were we provided a delicious meal, we were loved and protected. It was my son's first fist fight and he was thrilled. 10 out of 10, better than Cirque du Soleil.

I came here to try their all you can eat, and my services today were done by A.K, which was an amazing, super friendly, and professional person. One thing I got to say is when you come here, make a review and get a free shot. You have 2 options there is a 40.00, which gives you 1 snow crab and everything else unlimited, and the other option is 60.00, and that is an unlimited snow crab and all the works. The atmosphere is family friendly and respectful place so if you want to eat where people can't see you, they have that here too. The lights are a nice blue, which are inside these beautiful Wales hanging from the ceiling given the place a warm under the sea feeling. The food is amazing, and the spices hit the spot, not just one thing on the menu, I can say it is the best because it's all good, and u need to try everything 😋. I had 3 bags, cat fish, and mac n cheese. I was more than full. I would definitely be coming back and is added to one of my top places to come eat in vegas when I'm here.

Came to this family owned establishment after work with a friend. Being my first time here Tommy & Non were absolutely amazing with the hospitality, it wasn’t busy at all which was a plus for us since we did not have to wait long. Food was spectacular overall I.e had the shrimp with potatoes & corn, drinks were of course a plus I had a shot + daiquiri, garlic noodles were average for my taste pallet. Non & Tommy were delightful presence and kept checking in on our table often and knew how to keep a conversation going. Needless to say it was a great ambiance & time there. 😁

The sum of the review, been coming to this establishment for over a year. We received cold mozzarella sticks that we asked to get remade. We had taken bites out of them and they put them back into the fryer, including the piece that was in one of our mouth. It was concerning as my order was all fried food, the catfish and onion rings. The onion rings were eaten before the mozzarella incident. Just knowing that they put food that was in our mouth in the fryer was very concerning as they could have done that 100 times, and we were just eating other peoples saliva. On top of that, they now charge your card before you even receive your food and they also include 18% to 20% gratuity. Overtime items included in your boil has been limited, but the price has remained the same. The quality of the food has decreased, a lot of times when we order the crab there is hardly any crab meat inside or the meat itself is cold. This used to be our favorite seafood boil spot in Vegas, but we will no longer be going as I do not trust that their food health codes are up to standard. As we had already paid all they were willing to do was refund the six dollars for the mozzarella stick, which we did not accept. They even included the bitten piece that was in my mouth the basket, which is included in the photo as well. Knowing they do not properly handle frozen food I have no clue what they are doing with the raw foods. I really enjoyed their sauce, but I will just have to learn how to make it at home. Would never recommend anybody to go there again disgusting! Ironically, my friend who dines here with me always, has a food page and she recommended this place over a year ago. I am a rideshare driver and I always tell people this is the only seafood spot I recommend. Never again! The last thing to note, it was not that busy inside. Maybe five tables and we received our cold mozzarella before we even received our drinks. I know they have made a lot of changes to their menu, their service, and their staff, but none of it has been for the benefit of the consumer

If you are in dire need of seafood, please keep in mind you are in a desert and having fresh seafood is only a thought. It is not like anything if you were to visit the State of Washington (Salmon and King Crab), Texas (Shrimp), Louisiana (Cat fish, gumbo, and shrimp), or Maine (Lobster). That is where you can get some really good fresh seafood and the people knows how to cook it. Anyhow the family insisted we go so we went. I did have my doubts at first, but I wanted to try this place out. This is what I saw: Positives: ** The ladies who seated and served us were nice and polite. ** This place seemed to be a popular site ** The facility was clean to my liking. ** The wait time to be seated wasn’t too bad for us (table of six). ** The portion size were okay except for the bowl of Mac n cheese and gumbo. I didn’t leave the establishment hungry. ** I really liked the Cajun corn on the cob (Very spicy). Negatives: ** The service was horrible. We never were asked once if we were doing okay or if our water glasses or drinks needed a refill. ** We constantly had to waive down our server. ** We had to ask for our ticket ** The Calamari tasted to rubbery. ** The piece of cat fish was small (1 serving). ** The food price wasn’t worth of what we paid. Please keep in mind: This establishment is an all you can eat or you can pick a dish off a separate menu, but the whole table has to gravitate to one or the other. Meaning – your table has to be all in on the “All you can eat” or you all have to pick something off the other menu. They will not allow your party to do both. I can only assume they are trying to prevent someone from the table from feeding the others. Will I go back, I don’t know maybe if I have a desire to have some more Cajun corn on the cob.

Tommy was gave excellent 5 star service and definitely explains the menu well. Drinks were on point just like his customer service. My wife and I will definitely will be back to visit. Shout out to Tommy for a great experience!!!

Okay, the food was alright. I had better. But it wasn't bad. I did the all you can eat. I was with my 3 kids. 2 little kids and 1 big kid. The 2 little kids ate for free, which was cool. My all you can eat was $60, and my oldest son was $30, not bad. What I like about the all you can eat is you can pick what you want in the bag. And you can change it every time you get a new bag so you are not stuck eating the same thing every time. What I didn't like was that after we finished our FIRST BAG, the waiter didn't even ask if we wanted round 2. She just placed our bill on the table. We were never offered a refill on drinks or nothing. I didn't make a big deal about it because I was full, but it's the principle

Another TikTok find & #RodPVerified spot! Big shout out to AK & Tommy! Thank you for a great visit! During our trip to Vegas, this place made our list of possible places to visit. I'm so glad we decided to stop in. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take food photos, but I assure you the boil bags are excellent and up to par! It wasn't too busy, but as with a lot of places in this post covid Era, it's tough to find good staff, and we had a slight wait before things got rolling. That being, Tommy (our server) & A.K. (the manager ) didn't let us go unattended to. They made recommendations, and we followed! Shaking Crab has many options for kids and non seafood dinners as well. We ordered the all you can eat seafood boils. The kids got all you can eat fish, chicken tenders, and wings. All I can say is this. A.K. took care of us and even took the kids into consideration, especially due to the $60/person for all you can eat. By comparison and what we spend at home for the same thing, this was well priced! I have to admit, I thought I would get beyond one bag! I! Was! Wrong! The SHAKING 🦀 portions in each bag were more than enough! By the time I finished my bag, I couldn't see straight and didn't even consider requesting a second bag. My wife and I got $60 of seafood in each of our first bags, easily! If you're in Vegas, definitely stop in and check this place out! Oh! Try the garlic noodles! Mind blowing good! Please like and follow if you enjoyed the review!

Food was great. Non provided great service as well. Easily one of the best bangs for bucks for seafood. The environment is good as well.

I wish I could rate this more than 5 stars alone based on the food. I had the snow crab clusters, with head on shrimp and the shaker sauce. My friend had the seafood galore with the lemon pepper sauce. The food was EXCELLENT, sauce was flavorful, and the way the crab was cooked it was perfect. It was almost falling out the shell. AK was our server, he was so professional and knowledgeable about the menu. He was able to be personable and attentive, even while it was busy. AK explained everything throughly, and patiently. Five star service.

Truly, a memorable experience in the worst possible way. Please save your $200 and go enjoy a great meal somewhere else . Automatic gratuity, which is fine, but the service is absolute crap. They've already made their money the second you sit down so what do they care and it shows. Restrooms were filthy empty boxes on the ground in the hallways and front entrance. The ambience was just dispare. For the amount of money they're charging, you should be getting excellent service, beautiful dining room, a clean place to pee and delicious food. Shaking Crab provided none of that.

I discovered this place through TikTok and was initially excited to try it out. However, my experience was disappointing for several reasons: The main television was off, leaving only the bar television on and its hard to watch basketball game. The food lacked flavor; the shrimp and crawfish were small and saggy. Christina provided excellent service and was very friendly, other servers seemed to neglect acknowledging customers, resulting in long wait times and even one group of customers leaving. Restroom was filthy, with evidence of neglect such as marks on the walls and an overflowing trash can. Wish, I enjoyed the food, but unfortunately, I left feeling let down. This place has potential, but needs improvement.

The staff here is very friendly. The restaurant is clean and spacious. I like how they have multiple TVs in the restaurant. I ordered the 3/4 lb bag of Shrimp and the lobster bisque. The sauce tasted okay and I felt like there wasn't that many shrimp in my bag. The shrimp was nothing crazy. I also tried the fries which weren't that special either. Their lobster bisque was creamy and delicious.

The ambiance and service was nice, but the food was absolutely not worth the price! For small plates, we ordered the spicy calamari. Which was, in fact, not spicy at all. Plus, the squid was really tough and chewy. It would have been better if the calamari was more thinly cut. We also had the fried scallops, which tasted burnt and were very small in size. The mozzarella sticks were okay, they had a nice cheese pull but the batter was thick. It was more doughy than crispy. The cajun fries and sweet potato fries were more favorable in my opinion because they came out warm and crispy. We were more disappointed in the seafood. We were served frozen (even though we wanted fresh) crawfish. The texture of the crawfish was awful, since it was spongey and dry. There were some bad ones that we had to spit out. They also don't bother deveining the shrimp. The mussels were also very small in size, the only thing bearable about the seafood was the sauce and add-ins. Be warned, you're charged extra for adding sausage! The seafood quality needs A LOT of improvement. The entire bill came up to $405 (with an automatic gratuity applied) for a party of 5. Definitely not coming again when there are plenty of other seafood boil options around.

I dont usually eat seafood, but when i get the chance I would eat a lot. The basic garlic and butter was super good. Let me tell you, when they said spicy, it was spicy, and i love it. It went really well with the garlic butter. I had two bags and was hoping to get to my third, but man the shrimp really fill you up. The fried chicken was too breaded. It was harder to eat then the seafood boil. Also the onion ring was too greasy. The service was good, it was only about 2-4 people in the building. Super slow. The ambiance was quiet and slow. But definitely love a AYCE seafood boil for $60. Totally recommend this place!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shaking Crab and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. The highlight of my evening was undoubtedly the impeccable service provided by our server Tommy & Ak. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of from start to finish. The seafood was fresh and expertly prepared, with flavors that truly impressed. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience and I highly recommend Shaking Crab to anyone looking for delicious seafood and exceptional service.

Seafood is bottom of the barrel, very poor quality. Flavor is almost non existent. Service is ok. Topped off with a 18% gratuity automatically applied to your bill which they then suggest that you add another 18%, 20%, or 22% gratuity on top of that (which is calculated off the total that already includes the 18% gratuity). Just makes the whole experience absolute garbage. If you want a great experience with great food, go to Angry Crab. 1000% better.

Don't waste your time or money on this place. They have way too many rules to eat there. 1- the entire table has to decide on if they want the all you can eat seafood or other items. If you want all you can eat, everyone at the table has to get it too. So we sat at two tables right next to each other. 2- you get charged a leftover fee of $20 if you do not eat all of your food from the all you can eat. The food was lackluster and not worth it. I had to go "fishing" for my clams in the see of watery butter sauce. It barely had flavor. The water tasted like chlorine was in it. That was the only place in Vegas that tasted like that. Don't go here!

We decided to come back on a Wednesday for the all you can eat snow crab. The crab was very good, as well as all the other seafood. We had no issues with the food whatsoever. Plus, the service was very good throughout our entire visit. The problem came when we were handed our bill. There was a 20% gratuity added to our bill, and we were a party of three. The menu clearly says a 20% gratuity will be added to parties of five or more. So I asked about that and they said don't worry about it, it's for the kitchen. I didn't understand what they meant by that. So, they showed me that the regular price for All You can eat is $60 during the rest of the week, but on Wednesdays it's $72 where they add all the snow crab you can eat. But, what they are doing is taking that $12 and assigning it to the kitchen, so they are not paying an income tax on that amount. They are leaving that up to the kitchen? That didn't make any sense at all. Why don't they just charge me the $72, like the sign says, and let me tip accordingly? Why are they playing around with my bill before I even have the opportunity to tip? How can I believe that money is really going to the kitchen? None of that made any sense to me at all. It looks like they are fudging numbers to save money on taxes, and for some reason they wanted me to tip again. Their explanation was very confusing, causing us to wonder if we'd ever return.

Awesome find in Vegas for cajun boil. Came for lunch. We got the seafood boil with crab + shrimp. You can mix sauces so we got medium spicy with cajun and garlic butter sauce. Snow crab had a generous portion of meat. Garlic noodles were flavorful and cheesy. Fisherman platter was a nice size. The fried catfish was the best part! We also got cajun fries with it that were nicely spiced. Perfect amount for 5 hungry adults. Service was quick and our server was super nice + attentive. Very spacious and great for parties. TVs had the game going on. Ambiance was like I was at a fisherman's warf. Would 10/10 recommend

So not going to lie, since COVID, these crab spots always deterred me because of the gouging prices! Here the snow crab was like $36 for 3/4 lb! Which is CRAZY. BUT...here they have an all you can eat option ($60 total which basically is already the price of 2 orders of crab, so a win). So in this case allows 2 "clusters" or 2- 3/4lbs of crab, and all you can eat of shrimp, crawfish, Muscles, octopus & clams...none of which I eat, but you also get unlimited potatoes, corn, garlic noodles, rice etc! The main reason I'm giving 5 stars is because for the SAUCE!!! I'm strictly a garlic/butter no spice girl, and as you can tell that is pretty simple. But this garlic butter that you can make "muddy" (I believe the waitress called it) was SOOOOOO GOOOOOD! Yes so good that i bought a large container of it to go and use on my $9.99/lb dungeness from Costco! All in all, definitely worth going if you do all you can eat option! And the sauce you may leave with a rock bag of sauce for later IJS!

Worst service we've ever experienced! 20 minutes of waiting, the server finally took our drink order and took our payment in advance. She then went straight to the bar to go on her phone, 15 minutes past, and she's still filming herself on her phone. We kept waiting and waiting.. the table that came after us eventually just left because they weren't acknowledged. We refused to wait for her to finish her stupid tiktok video so we asked for our money back and left. We will never come back or recommend this place to anyone!!! Go to crab and spice if you want amazing seafood boil and great service! This place is a dump!!! Only 3 tables in the damn place, two of which just walked in and they can't keep up with proper service!

Went on a Saturday night. It was pretty empty. Food itself was good. I was surprised that they charged if you left any food behind but didn't let you take it with you. We basically had to beg them to let us have more than one crab utensils. There were 3 at our table and they only gave us 2 initially but they were different types. They seemed really reluctant to allow each of us have one for ourselves. Maybe they don't have a lot on hand and they get lost?? The only callout I didn't like was that when we were there, they were mopping around our table with the very soapy water and I was smelling a lot of cleansers around my food. I did enjoyed the music that they were playing. Felt like a party in there but I just had a very different experience at Pier88 and I prefer it there instead. They gave each person at the table 2 types of shell openers and we didn't need to ask for it.

Came out to Vegas to celebrate Tanya's better half Nate! We came to Shaking Crab and was immediately greeted by Tommy he's the bartender, waiter, host and all around great guy! From the jump we received 5 tier service, he explained the menu, made recommendations and provided some laughter as well. It's obvious that he loves his job, the customers and the menu because he had intel to each dish and all of his suggestions were a hit! Get the Mango Tango but make sure Tommy makes it because it was amazing no shortage on flavor or liquor. We all enjoyed our food the ambiance and the music.

They offer two different menus, with one being an "all you can eat" option, requiring the whole table to participate and no leftovers allowed. Extra charges apply if food isn't finished. We opted for the regular menu, but found it unnecessarily complicated compared to similar restaurants. The seafood bag was decent considering the area (Vegas is a desert, don't expect super fresh/quality seafood), but the fried items were overly greasy. The Catfish platter disappointingly came with just one piece and a pile of fries. Although we were initially excited to dine here, our experience fell short of expectations. Our waitress was somewhat rude, but another staff member made up for it.

From the moment we walked in and saw it empty at dinner time on a Sunday we should have known better. We were badly greeted by the host, who was sitting at the bar. We then we're served water and waited another 15 min to get greeted to talk our order. The server was uneducated about the menu and could not answer any of our questions. The menus were torn and had sharpie for all the prices and seamed dirty. They offer NO gluten free items / apart from the sweet potato fries even though they are cooked in the same fryer. Even the steamed seafood with just butter is not gluten free. We also asked if there was a price cut as we had two kids with us who did not plan to partake in any of the seafood, the server replied no and that everyone has to pay the same amount. We ended up walking out and getting tacos next door. Definitely will not be back to try this place.

I saw this place on IG and wanted to try it. Tommy the man was very welcoming and set the mood for the dinner. The place has plenty TVs. Enjoy your yourself tear up the all you can eat. The happy hour is to come so keep coming and stay open minded. Been back a few times and consistency is there.

My Shaking Crab experience was disappointing. The advertised "all you can eat" option came with many restrictions on menu choices, making it less appealing. The mandatory requirement for everyone at the table to order AYCE, even if just one person wanted it, felt like a rip-off. The unprofessional management added to the overall letdown. Proceed with caution if considering this restaurant.

Shaking Crab is hands down one of my favorite seafood restaurants! Their menu offers a variety of fresh seafood with an array of seasoning and spice options to satisfy any taste bud! The restaurant's ambiance is cozy and laid back, making it the perfect spot for a casual night out with friends or family. perfect for sports lovers. Mariah and AK are very friendly and attentive, always ready to answer any questions you may have about the menu or the preparation of the food. And when the meal arrives, boy oh boy, be prepared for an absolute feast! The portions are very generous and fresh. What sets Shaking Crab apart is its signature 'shaking' technique, which adds a unique twist to the way the food is prepared. It's always an incredible experience watching the food being tossed and coated in the different spices and seasonings right before your very eyes. Plenty of space for parking. All in all, I would highly recommend Shaking Crab to anyone looking for a delicious and fun seafood dining experience. My family enjoyed it and will come back again.

The food was phenomenal, it came out super fast. For the price of $60 and it being AYCE is unheard of. If you're in the Vegas area or on vacation in the Vegas strip, I would 10/10 recommend you make your way over if you love seafood. Tommy, Julie, and Christina were the ones who helped us and they were super friendly, attentive, and funny.

This place is not worth the social media hype. The food is totally not worth the price. If your party is 5 or more they charge 24% gratuity. It seems like charge extra for a few things. I tried the all you can eat menu. If you want sausage they charge extra. If you choose the all you can eat menu everyone in your party has to get all you can eat. If someone in your party wants to order a la cart they need to sit separately. This is so inconvenient especially when you want to enjoy your food with everyone in your party. Went on all you can eat crab legs Wednesday. It was $70+ for all you can eat crab legs. Not worth the price. Crab legs: Horrible! It seems like it was in the freezer to awhile. The crab meat just breaks apart and very dry! Good and fresh quality crabs are not like that. Flavors: They are not consistent with their flavors. The second round or crab legs were just too salty, garlic was raw and the crab legs were not clusters. They were just pieces of crab legs. It was a waste of money. I had better at similar places.

Just knowing that they put food that was in our mouth in the fryer was very concerning as they could have done that 100 times, and we were just eating other peoples saliva. On top of that, they now charge your card before you even receive your food and they also include 18% to 20% gratuity. Overtime items included in your boil has been limited, but the price has remained the same. The quality of the food has decreased, a lot of times when we order the crab there is hardly any crab meat inside or the meat itself is cold. This used to be our favorite seafood boil spot in Vegas, but we will no longer be going as I do not trust that their food health codes are up to standard. As we had already paid all they were willing to do was refund the six dollars for the mozzarella stick, which we did not accept. They even included the bitten piece that was in my mouth the basket, which is included in the photo as well. Knowing they do not properly handle frozen food I have no clue what they are doing with the raw foods. I really enjoyed their sauce, but I will just have to learn how to make it at home. Would never recommend anybody to go there again disgusting

My wife and I love seafood, so we went here for our anniversary (#54). There is a sign at the front that says, "PLEASE WAIT TO BE SEATED". So we waited and then a server came over and told us to "sit anywhere". Next, the server came over to take our drink order. I asked for a Dr Pepper and received a plastic cup, a straw and a can of Dr Pepper. My wife asked for hot tea. Server told us they did not serve hot tea, as they had no cups. Same went for coffee, no cups for that either. We then placed out order, 2 lobster tails and a "seafood sampler" (onion rings, corn, shrimp, catfish and calamari). Food was delivered WITH NO PLATES and unwrapped plastic forks and spoons. Our tails came in a plastic bag, which was inside a second plastic bag, which was then placed inside a third plastic bag. When I removed the bag containing the tail, the bag had holes in it and the "sauce" leaked all over the table. Tails were also overly salted. When we complained about this, the manager said, "It could not have been that bad, as we did eat them". On the "seafood plate" (again, no plate, just a metal serving pan) - The corn (2) was either roasted or fried, was very dark, and looked like it was burned. The calamari (10) looked like it was just the ends of the tentacles, and only about an inch or so long. The shrimp (6) was just OK, with a lot of breading. Same for the onion rings (6), which were over-fried. Catfish (1 piece) was about 3" by 6", and not fried long enough to thoroughly cook the center. As with the lobster tails, EVERYTHING was overly salted. On the whole, we would NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE. No coffee cups, no plates, unwrapped plastic eating utensils.

Loved the layout, plenty of space between tables, settings for small and large groups. Service was spot on. As for the menu there are two options all you can eat which doesn't include everything and has a fine if you tap out in the middle. So buyer beware take what you eat and eat what you take. The other option is purchase what you want, and select your seasonings and spice. Will definitely repeat.

Not that great of a place. I rather go to another seafood boil place where the sauce is actually marinated into the shrimp. I came in with a big group and the server even asked us if we wanted to split the check or to combine into one. We decided to do split check and she took our orders separately on her tablet, labeling us as different table numbers. When it was time to pay, she handed us a big receipt and asked us to highlight/circle what we ordered. It took a while to sort it out and pay which was something we didn't expect. The food was alright. Nothing special. Their seafood comes in 3/4 pound bags. I ordered (2) 3/4 headless shrimp but I ended up getting headed shrimp instead. My friend ordered mild shrimp but ended up getting a bag with way too much spice that they couldn't even finish their food. To compensate, the server gave them a sprite. On top of all this, I noticed that auto gratuity is 20% after tax. Sneaky business move. It definitely didn't feel like 20% service was provided with all the mistakes made. There was a bunch of smaller mistakes that weren't said but overall this isn't a place I'd want to go to again.

We visited Shaking Crab on a Friday at 1pm and the service was quick, friendly and delicious! We ordered the Jumbo Jumbo Shaker for $72 and it comes loaded with 4 corns, 4 corns and 4 hard boiled eggs. The crab and shrimp from the Jumbo Jumbo Shaker was so fresh and flavorful. Current music was playing in the background for a nice vibe. I would recommend and will be visiting again my next time in Vegas! Christina served us and was very sweet and helpful.

Tried Shaking Crab last week. Cause you know... TikTok told me to. $50 AYCE (TikTok said $40/pp) of a selection of seafood. Higher end seafood are add-ons. Food was good. Flavor was good. Heat was not there. Ordered mild on the first round, and not even a tingle of heat. Ordered hot on the 2nd round. Still nothing. Service was HORRENDOUS! Took 20+ minutes just to get water. They forgot half our food and we had to ask multiple times to get it. Servers were rude too. Muscles and clams were not cleaned very well. Still quite a bit of sand, and a lot of broken shells. Some appetizers are limited to 1 order per person, even though they're on the AYCE menu. Crab cakes were tasteless and bland. Full of filler, barely any crab. DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE BACK!

Pretty sure this is the best seafood spot in Las Vegas! Everything was so good and the AYCE is unbeatable. The customer service was good as well. I can't wait to go back and try more food. Unfortunately they were out of lobster.

ABSOLUTE SCAM DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! First we walked in as a group of 5 and they informed us that there is an automatic 20% gratuity for parties of 5+ which is common no problem but they had 4 different people come to "remind" us of the gratuity. We sat and ordered 2 cokes and were looking at the "all you can eat" menu (if u can even call it that) it is not ACTUALLY all u can eat. They have a limit of 2 snow crab clusters per person AND a $20 PER PERSON leftover fee on top of the already $60 per person fee to even eat the "all you can eat" so already ur sitting at $80 a person if u have any leftovers. THEN they tell us to get noodles or anything additional besides shrimp and crab in your boil it's an ANOTHER additional charge per item. We paid for our cokes and left. This place is a scam. They are going to charge u as much as physically possible. DO NOT EAT HERE!

Not sure why this place has gotten such bad reviews but we really enjoyed it. There was 9 of us and we were seated right away. Food was amazing. Our server Brittany was really friendly margaritas did take a bit to come out but there looked to be only 3 people working including our server and 6 of us had margaritas

10 out of 10 bomb food great service the sauce here hits the spot I would recommend asking for a mixed of all at level medium.This blend gives it such a nice flavor, and for those who like spicy go ahead and ask for a side of the all mixed level hot really spices things up a bit if you guys like some spice in your life. My wife and I loved this spot if we are ever in Vegas again we will definitely come visit our new friend Martin great server awesome positive vibes and always attentive to the costumers needs.

I went to the Chinatown location because I saw the instagram posts. On instagram everything looked super fresh and big and amazing. It was a big let down. Everything doesn't look like instagram at all. I think it's a bait and switch. The lobster and crabs was less than fresh and they're were so small not like on instagram at all. It was so salty . EVERYTHING was so salty . Worst experience I ever had .
