Reviews for Shaking Crab (Upper West Side) in Las Vegas, NV

This place has been on my list for a while. When you walk in you have to wait to be seated and I waited a few minutes. It was... clear from the beginning they were short staffed. There is an AYCE menu and an a la carte menu. The price for AYCE is worth itif you will eat everything in the bag. But if you want something specific may be better to go a la carte. Be advised that thegarlic noodles have Cajun spices but can be made not spicy. Overall, the food was exquisite! They are just clearly lackingstaff. So be prepared to wait a bit. Read more

This was our first time and it was good. Not our favorite, yet good. The sauces are okay. Crab legs were nice size, shrimp could... have been cooked longer. We will try again Read more

Pleasantly surprised at the amazing flavors and unique sauces they offer here. I think I'm gonna need to come back again to try... more things. Got the oysters Rockefeller and they were amazing and the lime butter with cilantro was nothing I've tastedbefore. Excellent. I also got the crab cakes. I typically don't like deep fried crab cakes it's a bad sign to order crab cakesand get deep fried because it means they prefer frozen over fresh and in a seafood place, this is not the kind of preference youwant. But I was a little surprised at the quality of crab meat inside these little wafer sized medallions. I would still like tosee them possibly upgrade to house made fresh crab cakes later down the road but these are a very close second. I also didn'tknow this was a franchise company. First time I've seen them but as a west coast local, I don't typically make it out toanywhere else (lately). I'll keep my eyes open for others. Read more

Was recommended to go here and try it out, was shocked how many dirty table there were. Tables were left dirty from the moment... we walked in to the moment we left. Appetizers were good but the boil had no flavor unless you try the louisiana hot. Even thenyoud rather go to crab n spice across the street or hot n juicy. 40$ ayce is not worth it with how flavorless it is. Nosignature spices to make them different from any other seafood boil. 2 star because the service was good, servers were friendlybut there were only 2 of them and we saw how overwhelmed they were Read more

Went here after seeing the reviews. Choose package B on the menu with garlic butter sauce and mildly hot. It was great except... the gumbo and Mac and cheese weren't what we expected. The wings and loaded garlic noodles are a recommended addition. The onlycaveat was that you would be charged the a la carte price for each item if you didn't complete your servings. Read more

I had a great visit enjoying the flavorful seafood! Options are to get a combination or do a la carte, which is what I selected.... I ordered the head off shrimp and it came with potato, boiled egg and corn. My next choice was to pick the flavor and I chosethe traditional Cajun, which was really yummy as it was not spicy and complimented the seafood perfectly. When the orderarrived, it came in a large plastic bag that I was able to fold open. The server included plastic bibs to wear and plasticgloves that looked like mittens. It was actually very clever as it kept my hands clean and I could easily pick up the food andeat it. Plus, peeling the shrimp was super simple with the gloves. There were plenty as these got dirty, for me to exchangethem. It's the first time I've had a seafood boil and I'm really looking forward to coming back and trying the other options aswell! Read more

Great seafood place, and I’m picky about my crab legs. This is the first time I had noodles with a seafood boil, and it’s a... great combo with the Cajun sauce they have here. The king crabs are really delicious, and the fried catfish basket came outcrispy on the outside and soft and yummy on the inside. Coming back! Read more

Was driving by on South Rainbow after work. I noticed the Grand Opening Sign of the Shaking Crab ????. It peaked my curiosity... because I love seafood. I went in. I ordered a fried Catfish basket and Cajun Fries. Customer Service was excellent and time ittook to complete my order was quick. The Catfish was both Crispy and Tender with a thin batter. Cajun Fries definitely had anice kick. So far with the items I tried were delicious. Looking forward to trying other food on their menu Read more
