Was Fredy Will at Shaking Crawfish a mag?
cook with sausage potatoes and garnel. I have the cajun and garlic butter, very tasteful full. they have four stars because the garnels were not cleaned, but unlike the atmosphere was clean and also had a beach vibe. the waiter was really nice. View all feedback.

What JaMikca C dislikes about Shaking Crawfish:
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. View all feedback.

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.

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

I tried a new seafood place and this is not it. The season bag is bland and taste like water the broccoli is overcooked. The potatoes are bland. Shrimp overcooked and gummy. Fries are greasy and taste like that have been sitting in a bag of grease. This is not a good seafood stop and this food is terrible. I will NEVER eat here again. Money wasted! The fact you hurried up and offered an apology does not make up for the fact that your food is bland. So after reading several other people comments this is a regular occurrence. When I called the Restaurant to speak to someone the young lady place me on hold and never came back to the phone. So when this happened, I decided to leave a Google review. This business needs a revamp of its cooking technique because what they are doing is not food safety at all. I am sure if a health and safety inspector was to enter unannounced they would fail. Their is no way my shrimp should’ve been gummy because this means the cook is not paying attention to cook times and safety temperatures. My fries were so oily like they had been sitting in a bucket of grease until I placed an order. This place will not have my business ever again. I wish I could give this establishment a negative one.
