User Reviews

I came here because I’d been craving seafood and passed by this place a few times and finally checked it out for lunch. The customer service was nice. I got the seafood boil with crab legs, shrimp and black mussels. The seasoning and sauce was underwhelming. It’s like it was missing something. Just wasn’t tasty to me. Also, the food was over cooked.

We were on vacation and just finished w the van gohg experience and didn't want to eat down town. We found this place and OMG! exactly what we needed. Service was good but the food!!! I got the pot w crab legs shrimp and sausage w ALL THE SEASONINGS put in together (u get 3 options) and holy cow. I live next to the beach and we wish we had one of these where we lived!!!!

First time here. Located on Buford highway in doraville Georgia. I've always seen this place and wondered what it was and now that I've been I want to go back. Very nice, very clean, the workers were very friendly in the bathrooms were clean. All the tables are covered in paper, there's a roll of paper towels on your table along with a fork a bib and scissors. They give you a bucket with a plastic bag in it for trash. Your food comes out in a bag but also in a metal plate just in case of spillage. We went around 4:00 p.m. and the place was absolutely empty, but it was kind of romantic. All the workers wore masks. Only saw two to three people working in the building. One young lady was at the door greeting people and seating them, the other young lady worked behind the bar and was the waitress, and then there was another young lady we saw come out of the kitchen. You can make your own bag as big or as small as you want. They have a lot of different flavors and you can even mix them all up make them as mild or as spicy that you would like or no spice at all. When the food came out it was absolutely hot. There was no mistaking that it had just been cooked. It stayed hot for a very long time. Very surprised. The food was very good, and the seasoning was just right. There was a good selection of music playing, the atmosphere was very calm and relaxing, and they even had several TVs on for viewing. There's a lot of space for strollers or high chairs, I didn't see any high chairs but that doesn't mean that they don't have them. Instead of chairs they use wooden stools. They look to be like just round blocks of wood. It was different. I didn't see too many ramps because most of the seating is on the ground. There was plenty of parking and a few handicap spots. Next door is a sushi restaurant so the parking lot on that side is connected. The building is round but when you get inside it's c-shaped. Lots of windows and it was very cold in there but perfect since it was so hot outside. You can pre-order your food and come in and pick it up. They do have a QR code for that. The bathrooms were very clean. Check out my pics and video for more info

Shaking Crawfish was amazing!! Their flavors are so perfect. Interior of the restaurant feels like you are on vacation. Priced right, tastes even better. Portion size and service was on point too. So good, you need to sit back for a few minutes and think about what just happened. This is definitely worth the drive for trying something new or becoming my new favorite seafood spot. Definitely coming back!

Came here for crawfish cravings. Flavor is pretty good. Could use a little more sugar to make it better. Wings are great. Will definitely come back

Loved my meal here!! The combination number one with shrimp, sausage, and crab legs was fantastic. I got it hot and it was the perfect amount of spicy to torture me in all the best ways. My server Jerry was great, I didn't like the sauvignon blanc I got and he immediately switched it out for another. It's a messy meal, so not ideal for a first date, but a great place to get down on some grub.

Pretty great seafood boil spot. Not really a bad thing to say about this place. Personally I would have liked the spiciest level to be a bit more spicy, but that’s just personal preference. The taste was still great regardless.

Pleasantly surprised by how good this place was! Seafood was super tasty and fresh. Prepare to get your hands dirty but totally worth the effort.
