I came in Friday night. There wasn’t a crowd and was dead. The service was terrible, the internet dropped out and I had to use cash, the food was flavorful. My god they need staff that can make a drink. My margarita was horrible, just that place needs help

Pros: No wait, clean and new, large menu Cons: Food served by a robot, food over seasoned, seafood not fresh Went to Shaking Crab because it recently opened in the area and the franchise has a fairly good reputation in other locations. Extremely overpriced for what was received. The appetizers were typical bar food. The chicken wings were breaded, fried and covered in a very spicy sauce. The mini crab cakes were about a half teaspoon of fried batter with some crab in it. All the fried foods were dark and over cooked, including the pricey platter of various fried seafoods, which were hard on the outside and tough on the inside. The real disappointment were the seafood boils. We had the blue crab and the crawfish. Both were not very fresh, with most of the meat being dark and mealy. The shaking seasoning was also waaaay over spiced with too much garlic, hot pepper, and salt (we got Medium for heat but it should have been labeled extra hot!) Sadly we will not be returning. If you are looking for good seafood boil in Connecticut, go to Juicy in Middletown. If you are just passing through New London and want to stop at one of the restaurants off I-95, go to Texas Roadhouse!
