“I have never ordered takeout for seafood, but I was so pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. I got the medium spice level, cajun blue crabs and clams. I also really enjoyed their sweet potato fries, which were so nice and crispy. This is definitely going to be one of my go to spots!“
“My mom's review.Over the top delicious! Three slim, long fillets, a fresh cucumber, tomato and lettuce salad. The presentation was perfect. The fish was fresh and the delivery was timely! Thank you my precious daughter for always thinking of me. I have been in a cooked food valley of drought. And I had some tartar sauce and the French fries were fresh and crisp. I am about to finish up it all!“

“Stopped by on our way through an east coast road trip. Sat and ate dinner and had delicious margaritas while watching soccer at the bar. The guacamole and shrimp in garlic sauce were both very fresh and delicious. Very clean restaurant and very friendly staff. Menus are in Spanish and English. I'd highly recommend this restaurant. I wish I'd ordered the ceviche as a lot of people were getting it and it looked delicious.“
“My fiancé and I had a fantastic lunch at Ocean Crab today, where we were served by the amazing ?King David!! He not only provided us with great recommendations but also showered us with exceptional friendliness and hospitality. The seafood was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. We're already planning to return for happy hour and dinner soon. I highly recommend this restaurant based on our wonderful experience.“
“Valentine's Day dinner at Shaking Crab in Manassas was a unique mix of a warm family environment and delicious seafood, different from the typical romantic setting. In spite of the busy atmosphere, the friendly crowd and the warm reception we got when we arrived created a welcoming ambiance for the night.The exceptional service stood out, as our server was patient and helpful, expertly navigating us through the menu without any sense of rush—a rare find in the busy Valentine's Day dining atmosphere. The restaurant displays a special charm with walls and surfaces covered in signatures and messages from past customers, showcasing the memories made here. Even though marker contributions are no longer possible, the tradition continues to thrive.Although there isn't an unlimited dining option, the prices of the dishes seemed fair considering the quality and portion sizes. We opted for the seafood platter, which was a delightful assortment of oceanic treats: one pound of snow crab legs, headless shrimp, crawfish, and mussels, accompanied by half a pound of sausages, four corn cobs, and four potatoes, all for $70.99. We included boiled eggs in our meal to fully immerse ourselves in the Shaking Crab experience.Each bite was a delightful surprise—the dishes were served piping hot, seasoned to perfection, and to my pleasant surprise, the mussels were free of any sand, a detail that seafood lovers will surely enjoy. It's evident that Shaking Crab offers more than just food; they provide a culinary experience that is difficult to criticize.The only hiccup in an otherwise flawless evening? The open jukebox policy that allowed for a mix of hip-hop tracks clashed with the mood I had hoped for. I felt a jazz or blues backdrop would have complemented the ambiance and culinary delights more fittingly.Valentine's Day at Shaking Crab was truly unforgettable: exceptional service, a welcoming ambiance, and seafood that was simply perfect. Although the music wasn't to my taste, it was a minor issue in an otherwise fantastic dining experience. Shaking Crab is a standout destination in Manassas for anyone craving a seafood feast, whether it's a special celebration or a laid-back meal with family and friends.“
