    Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Stefani C.

    Me and my boyfriend went here for the first time and we had such a nice time! The staff were very friendly and funny. He got a seafood boil bag with shrimp, crab, and sausage and it was really good! They provide with tools upon request to open any shells/legs you can't with your hands (but he was able to open most with his hands) and their chicken sandwich is DELICIOUS! The bibs and gloves are nice. The lighting is perfect and the music is loud enough to hear, but not overbearing to not hear your tables conversation. AJ provided a lovely first experience and we'll definitely be back :)

    Food was absolutely phenomenal. The seafood was cooked perfectly, crab was not overcooked at all and it was so so sweet. We got the duo combo and they brought out a pint/sauce cup so we could dip our stuff in it and I loved it. The garlic noodles weren't great, especially once they got cold, I did not finish eating it. The sweet potatoes fries weren't great though. The interior is very bar like with a lot of graffiti but as far as I know, all angry crabs have that. They ring a very very loud bell and siren/alarm for birthdays so beware if you don't like loud sudden noises. I'm giving this such a low rating because of our awful server. Heather sat us down and did not make eye contact while we ordered drinks, it was really weird. She kept staring at the tv while talking and would not give us attention. She came back with one of our drinks and never got mine. We waited a whole 15 minutes before our order was taken and it wasn't even our server!!! This kind lady saw me looking around and came over and apologized for the wait and took our orders instead. We didn't get our food for another 30 minutes. The kind lady saw me looking and came on by and said she'll check on our order. She came back and apologized for the wait, they had 2 big parties with over 10 people before us and brought our food fresh from the kitchen. She was amazing. I really hope tips are split amongst all the serving staff because Heather did not deserve one penny of it. Heather checked on us once on how the food was and did not refill waters or drinks, only the other lady did. I should've given it to the kind lady who stepped up.

    I came here twice while in Arizona for a work trip. It was a few minutes from our hotel so it was convenient. Personally, I wasn't a big fan. I thought the food was ok but nothing special for myself. My husband and coworker liked it more than I did. So definitely depends on your food preferences. We got the oysters for an appetizer and those were good. I tried the crab basket the first time and regretted it. It was not tasty. The second time, I tried the scallop bowl which was better, but again, nothing special. My husband tried the snow crab and lobster boils and he liked those.

    The people are nice, but it takes forever for you to get the food. I waited 40 minutes just to get a pound of veggies in the sauce. I didn't even order any seafood and it took 40 minutes for me to get my order when I was originally given a 15 min eta and then when I got my order they missed my side order of rice so I had to wait another five minutes just to get some rice. This happened before a few months ago when I placed it to go order and I waited over an hour just to get the same type of order, but I ended up leaving because it took too long so I tried to give the Place a try again today and regretted it. Food was good though just took forever.

    The service at the bar was great. It was rapid. The food was decent. Nothing special the restaurant smelled bad . It didn't help that I sat by the kitchen.

    Gumbolaya ???

    Oh, this is jambalaya? Fascinating. Legend, our waiter, is absolutely adamant that this brothy bowl is, in fact, jambalaya--despite the fact that it looks, smells, and behaves exactly like gumbo. Having made both dishes myself, I'm genuinely confused as to why my "jambalaya" is practically soup. But hey, maybe Legend has insider knowledge of a brand-new, never-before-seen version of jambalaya that the rest of us just haven't caught up with yet.

    This casual dining spot was the final eatery I visited during my unplanned extra stay in the greater Phoenix area. It was within walking distance of the hotel so I grabbed dinner here. Angry Crab Shack was like a local version of Joe's Crab Shack which is a national chain of seafood restaurants. The interior resembled Joe's with a beach theme decor and a large bar area. Seafood boil bags were the main menu draw. Lots of Southern seafood fare was also available like jambalaya, catfish, and shrimp & grits. I saw some healthy bowls listed which were not typical of a place like this. After asking the bartender about the size of the scallops, he told me they were fairly large. With that response, I asked for a Scallop Bowl as an entree to go with an order of Gumbo as a starter. The Gumbo was a classic Creole stew with shrimp, sausage, crawfish, and rice. It was served in a slanted bowl which made it easier to scoop the contents. The combination had mild spiciness and a hearty flavor. The Scallop Bowl came with vegetables, rice or noodles, and one of seven sauces used for the seafood boil bags. I picked the noodles and Sweet N Tangy sauce. The bartender was accurate as there were six U/10 scallops. The noodles were linguini, and the sauce was more tart than sweet. While the amount of food in the bowl was mediocre, if you were given half a dozen large scallops as I had, then the price tag at a higher end restaurant would have easily exceeded $30. The boiled scallops alone were a great value. The service at the bar was fine, and I gave a four star rating for my dining experience at Angry Crab Shack.

The restaurant was half full (5 tables) 3 servers mostly inside of the kitchen area the whole time. Our drinks came after the food order was taken which took a while for how simple their menu is. The food took about 30 minutes to come out and was delivered by another server. Our server (blonde hair) never returned, no refills, and our dirty dishes were not picked up. Basically she came by when we were done eating. All servers seemed extra attentive to the tables with only men. A lot of socializing going on in the back. The food: -The aguachile tostada was the best dish. -The shrimp crunchy taco was okay, the sauce on top seemed more fitting for a sushi plate than a shrimp taco. Something about the flavor didn't make a lot of sense. -the breaded fish and shrimp tacos okay, they're doing way too much with the seasonings in the breading. -out of oysters at 1 pm on a Friday. Overall not too authentic compared to other seafood restaurants. Trying too hard with the flavors. Uninviting experience. If service had pep in their step I would give more grace.
