"Sometimes, you just need to get down, dirty, and cover your fingers with the buttery residue of a seafood boil. The Shake Seafood in NoLibs gets this—that’s why their tables are covered in paper, and bibs and gloves come with each order. The menu is straightforward. You pick your protein from the sea—like steamed crawfish, shrimp, black mussels, and crab legs. And then you go all out on the extras, like tender broccoli and sauces in the bag (we like cajun). The result is tender seafood dripping in spicy juices that we can’t get enough of. Sure, your hands will look like the prime suspects in an Old Bay crime scene, but that’s a small price to pay for a great seafood boil. " - alison kessler, candis mclean

"Let’s face it—with supermarkets putting imitation crab behind glass displays, we need good seafood now more than ever. That’s where The Shake comes in. The casual NoLibs spot specializes in cajun combos full of crab legs, mussels, crawfish, and clams that are steamed and perfectly seasoned (aka more than a couple shakes of Old Bay)." - Candis R.

The food is average, nothing stand out from this restaurant compare to similar other restaurants. Service is good.

The food was really good. We had a seafood boil with crab legs, shrimps, eggs, potatoes, corn and crawfish. The place's ambiance is not very inviting but if you just want to enjoy a nice boil, It's not a bad stop.

Seafood boil was delicious but I couldn't eat no more. Because I looked at the menu. Was nasty That's why I can't eat all my food, but I hope and pray to God when I come back next time. you please clean it The menu Please cause I have OCD and I let you know. I'll be back to check to make sure that menu was clean. Thank you. The waiter was beautiful. He told me he was going to take care of it. Let's see if he does it.

I was a bit skeptical to try this place at first, but I can tell you that I wasn't disappointed. The prices are decent and the food is fresh. The cons, however, are that: - Staff is not very nice or attentive. We had to chase them down even when there was barely anyone in there. They also didn't have a welcoming or enthusiastic attitude when we called or during the whole service, but they're quick to take your money. - The building is very small and there is barely any space between tables and booths. You cannot help but hear the rowdy, large families that came in because the booths don't go above your shoulders. - The snow crab legs barely had meat in them. The claws had the meat and you only get, like 4 of those depending on how many clusters you get.

First time having this type of seafood meal! Seen it all over social media so was excited to try. Place was clean and tidy. Wasn't busy on a Monday evening. Ordered 1lb snow crag legs, 1 lb shrimp with head, and 1 lb crayfish in the shake sauce (mild). It comes with potatoes and corn. Also ordered fried scallops but they brought fried shrimp instead (came with sweet potato fries). Everything was delicious! The seafood tasted fresh. The snow crab had a slight sweetness to it. The shake sauce was delicious and had a tiny kick from being mild. The fried shrimp was plump and juicy, with amazing fried outer layer. Everything was amazing. Service was slow tho. Had to hunt down the server so he can bring my table a cracker tool to open the crab legs.

Well, I spoke to soon saying that this place was good. My crabs were not cleaned entirely and I found a bunch of black stuff inside a crab leg. I threw it out and want to vomit. No need for me to say another word, however my photos will do the speaking. I called the next day and asked to speak with a manager. They asked for me to call back in 1 hour. I called back twice and was sent to voicemail. Never again will I purchase anything from this restaurant. I would like a refund and they know it, which is why they will not respond to my calls. Enough said.

The service and the person that answers the phone she is very very ignorant and rude. I original placed an order online and was calling to see when I can pick it up. She was being super rude and ignorant. I hung up and called back. I told her she is rude and she said I’ll cancel your order then. I went to the location because at this time I wanted my food and wanted to talk to the manager. She was like no manager. Then I said there has to be one. She then said she was the manager i said well your disrespect and rudeness will get you and this business no where

Checked the reviews..all positive..gave it a try on date nite(also Valentine's day)..they had a crowd but the wait for the food was minimal. Had king crab legs & hush puppies. Nice portion size & seasoned well. Hubby had fried shrimp basket. Nice sized shrimp..nice find within walking distance of our home. Tina our server was fabulous. Will definitely be back!
