Wow. Great restaurant. Love the whole vibe of this one. Our Waiter Ian was excellent. Their clam chowder is delicious. As well as their calamari, fried pickles and shrimp. Next time I'll will try some crab or lobster.

Angry Crab Shack - Grand Opening Review 7019 N Mesa St, El Paso, TX 79912 We checked out the grand opening of Angry Crab Shack on the Westside, hoping for seafood magic and some spice to match the summer heat. Spoiler alert: the only thing boiling was us. At this point, A.C. in Angry Crab might as well stand for Air Conditioning-less. --- The Good: Live Wing-Eating Competition: Shout-out to the firefighters who dominated! Super fun to watch and brought great energy to the event. Renovated Interior: The space looks completely different from when it was Weck's. Bright, lively, and a new seafood tank installed (more on that later). Friendly & Attentive Service: Our server (formerly of Lola Rose!) was fantastic. She handled everything with grace, including a kid-caused water spill, and gave great menu recs. Kid-Friendly Staff: Quick refills, fast reactions, and patience all around--big plus when dining with littles. Reasonable Prices: For a seafood-focused restaurant, the prices weren't bad at all. --- The Not-So-Great: Seafood Tank Situation: The tank was... questionable. It's a cool idea to show live seafood, but it was oddly dirty--especially for a grand opening. Kind of kills the "fresh" vibe. Stifling Heat: Our section was roasting. The AC couldn't keep up with the crowd, and it made the dining experience tough. We ate quickly, packed up the rest, and bolted after the wing competition. Food Quality (So Far): Wings: My husband said they were just "meh". Gumbo: This was the house special, made fresh daily--but flavor-wise, it fell flat. It was bland at the restaurant and still bland reheated the next day. The garlic bread was a nice touch, and the portion was big, but we expected more from a chain that should have its recipes dialed in. --- Final Thoughts: We really wanted to love this place--especially since it's so close to home. But the grand opening felt like a rough draft. Hopefully, it was just growing pains, and once the AC gets fixed and the kitchen finds its groove, the crab boils and entrees will be worth a return trip. We'll be back to try the actual boils once things cool down...literally and figuratively.

Service is excellent the food was superb. Come try this place if you haven't you will not be disappointed

I'm super excited we have a great crab spot off mesa! Everything from the ambiance, service, to the food was amazing! As soon as we walked in the staff quickly greeted us and made us feel welcomed! They made sure to ask if it was our first time there and made us feel comfortable and guided us the whole way. We ordered a couple of appetizers and everything was really good. The shrimp boil was so perfect, I'm picky when it comes to shrimp- but these were big juicy and tasty! The trifecta seasoning at level 2 spice was the perfect combination. Our server let us know which spice level had ghost pepper so we could avoid it being too spicy. Will definitely be coming back again!!

The best seafood boil in El Paso! Reasonably priced and great service. The vibes in the restaurant felt like you were close to the beach! Definitely will be coming back

We went on a Saturday when BTS came, so the restaurant was empty. It was our first time so I was kinda glad we had the restaurant to ourselves. I got a seafood boil and it was so tasty and juicy. My husband got a lobster roll and clam chowder; he said it was amazing and the perfect amount of food. I ate my entire seafood boil and definitely had a full tummy after, but that's how you know it's good. Def coming back for round two read more

We love Angry Crab since we went to AZ last year. Tried the ElPaso location yesterday and the service was terrible! For 7 of us, we were served "staggered" as the waitress tried to explain why the individual meals were served out over span of 45 minutes. I ordered an appetizer as my meal and coleslaw that I never received so finally canceled. That's ridiculous to have some of us eating while others have to wait and watch you! Stagger this EP Angry Crab and get your cooks better trained! read more

My wife and I tried Crab Shack on Mesa across from Coronado High School and the food was good and reasonably priced. In addition to fish, they had gumbo, hush puppies, salad. The place was renovated and they did a good job making use of the space. It is a franchise from Arizona and they want to open another place on thr East side. read more

Specialties

At Angry Crab Shack, we're all about bold flavors, messy fun, and Southern hospitality with an Asian-Cajun twist. What sets us apart is our build-your-own seafood boil experience--guests choose their seafood, sauce, and spice level to create a meal that's uniquely theirs. Whether you're cracking into snow crab legs or digging into spicy head-off shrimp, it's always hands-on and always delicious. We take pride in being locally owned and community-focused, supporting organizations like Phoenix Children's Hospital, veteran based charities like the Arizona Housing Coalition and Boulder Crest, and local sports through FC Arizona and sponsoring high school sports clubs. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere, and a bib--because we believe great food should be as fun as it is flavorful.

Though we have only made it to Twisted Fork for brunch, so far, we have enjoyed the two times we…read morehave dropped in. The food is delicious, the service is good, but if it gets too crowded, they won't be able to see you. If you need to, maybe make a reservation. I'm totally interested in coming back to try their cocktails. Some friends visiting El Paso, earlier in the year, made it in for dinner said that they truly enjoyed it. I was a bit jealous. During the most recent brunch, I enjoyed an avocado toast, with a side of eggs. I should have considered another protein on the side, but after all was said and done, I was full and happy with that. The coffee was hot and bottomless. An interesting note is that they pay their servers a full wage so you don't have to tip...but if you did, they would very much appreciate it. They also have a military discount. We will return.

We visited this establishment on a Friday Night. Food and service was very good, and all dishes…read morewere prepared correctly as ordered...and...they were delivered together at one time. This has become an issue at some restaurants. The Ambiance is pleasant and not "noisy". A very pleasant experience. For the Record: we only review outstanding and "lousy". we allow mediocre to take care of itself.

We arrived with a baby and the hostess immediately told us no high chairs. Ok no biggie yet my…read morewife pointed out that they do have changing stations for babies in the restroom which is odd. Expectations and reality were nothing alike. As we were seated our waiter took 10 min to great us and then another 12 min to bring our drinks. I didn't think anything of it yet it was a precursor to the rest of our dinner. After he took our order our kids food came out in a very timely fashion but our two orders of salmon and one steak sandwich took 40 min to arrive at the table. What a ridiculous waste of my time because my sandwich was missing the fries ordered and our waiter thought nothing of it till I brought it up then he took another 10 min to bring my fries. All this while simultaneously forgetting the sauce for the salmon which also took another 10 min to bring out. The salmon was so dry it was tacky and stuck to your teeth. If you know the feeling you know it's bad. The rice that came underneath the salmon was crunchy and way undercooked. All while the waiter was like oh I can bring you free deserts for your wait all while I could only think about how I just wanted to leave. I was internally livid and exhausted but kept it to my self after seeing the owner or manager who we the guy with the white hair over at the bar enjoying a few alcoholic beverages meanwhile his restaurants service and waitstaff to the worst possible job they can. I saw the people who got the most attention and good service were all regulars sitting at the bar laughing it up with the manager/owner older guy. Why not make sure your restaurant is running smoothly and food is being delivered and prepared properly and stop trying to impress the regulars who most likely will show up either way. Any restaurant that is this unorganized and unmotivated is due to crappy management. All this and the waiter is like I'll comp you for the steak sandwich with a discount for the bad service and salmon which was a whopping $5. I don't want a discount I don't want free day old desserts I want good service and decent food. Discounts and free desserts will never fix the problem because it will always be a crutch for trashy customer service. How about stop drinking with the guests and whoop that staff into semi decent shape buy some high chairs and make sure your expo does a once over quality check on the food and time it takes to get to the table EVEN if that means stepping in and doing it yourself. The restaurant is dark the tables are sticky the whole place is very compact . Perfect and quite attractive after 5-6 wines for sure. I'm sure the food is outstanding after a few drinks as well . They gave us a $25 dollar gift card to return which if I could I'd give to the owner so he could experience the same horrible food and service we did. I wouldn't even give the gift card to someone I hated. This was one of the first times in a long time I didn't just let it slide because I understand all restaurants and people have bad days but this was exceptionally bad. If you are thinking it can't be that bad think again it absolutely can. The whole "I'm sorry we usually have awesome service and everyone loves our food it's probably just me and my family " is laughable . This isn't my first time here while visiting El Paso. The food is getting worse.
