    Shrimp bowl on noodles

    5-star food with friendly staff! Shrimp bowl medium heat. Grits are delicious. Shrimp & lobster boil was delicious. Only downside is that we froze. Strongly recommend pants and warm jacket. Felt great to get outside to warm up.

    Woof, guys... let me tell you after devouring this, I was full. We arrived, and as we walked through the restaurant, my mouth was already watering the smell of flavor was in the air. Tish seated us and explained the seafood boil options in great detail. I saw her do this with every table outside, and she was fantastic. HUGE shoutout to her I also loved how she interacted with the live band from time to time. I ordered a pound of crab with a half pound of scallops, two red potatoes, and one corn on the cob, all with the trifecta sauce a combination of garlic, lemon pepper, Cajun, and their signature sauce (thank you, Tish). Spice level 3, considered hot, comes with habanero peppers in the mix it was awesome! My lady got the vegetarian tofu bowl with ramen. Angry Crab Shack, I challenge you to add your amazing seasoning to your ramen bowls or tofu. I tried it, and it was bland just because a dish is vegetarian doesn't mean it should be without flavor. With how good your food is, adding those flavors to the vegetarian options would attract an even bigger crowd. My only quam was that mosquitoes kept landing on me outside, but from what I hear, that's the state bird. Maybe burn some citronella candles out there. Thank you for the experience!

    Fish & Chips, double fries instead
    Lindsay S.

    My husband is a picky eater so after looking at the menu online, I thought this would be a good compromise for both of us. We went for lunch on a Friday and it was almost deserted. Service was friendly and fast. They had decent music playing (classic rock/80s). I got the Jambalaya and he ordered the Fish and Chips, double fries instead of fries & slaw. The food was pretty good. My Jambalaya came with chicken, shrimp, and conecuh sausage, my favorite. The bread was sliced but not cut all the way through, so trying to finish cutting it while in the jambalaya was difficult since it kinda became rubbery. His fries were good - Cajun fries - and his fish was ok. It was Cod, heavily battered. It kinda reminded me of Long John Silver's. That's not an insult; we used to eat there frequently! I don't know. We ate everything, but when we left I said "It was fine, but I feel very underwhelmed." He said that was exactly what he was thinking. I'd go back for sure but maybe not with a lot of enthusiasm.

    We tried this place for dinner recently and it was ok. Our group of 5 was quoted 30 min wait time around 6:30p on a Wednesday night. We got our table 50 min later. Once we sat at the table it was another 15 min before a waiter took our drink order. We tried the fried shrimp basket, catfish basket, and the shrimp/crab combo boil. The fish and shrimp were good. The Cajun fries had great flavor. The shrimp/crab boil was just ok. The shrimp were tough and the crab was tough to crack because it was so mushy. Almost as if it was over cooked. Which isn't great considering how long the wait was.

    This was my first time at the Angry Crab Shack. We were seated promptly and our server Mady was excellent. She was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and helped with any questions.This was my first seafood boil experience. I opted for the Shrimp and Crab combo, selected the trifecta seasoning(garlic, lemon pepper, cajun) at spice level 2. This was delicious! Great flavor, just the right amount of heat, and portion size for one. The seafood cooked perfectly, sweet corn, and buttery soft potato. Overall, a wonderful experience and yummy meal!

    Shrimp and grits.

    I really want to be fair so this review might be long. Walked in and were seated immediately. The hostesses were absolutely lovely. They had live music and it was amazing. They also had calamari which was the only thing my daughter wanted for her birthday, and was surprisingly difficult to find on the gulf. Appetizers came out nice and quick. They serve Pepsi products, which I love, but they were out of actual Pepsi. We had seven people in our party: myself, my husband and our five kids. Our food came out in three waves, 10 minutes apart. Our last kid didn't have his food till most of us were half done. They gave my daughter a beautiful, free dessert. That was kind and generous. At the end, they did mandatory gratuity even though their website that applies to adults. Kinda sneaky. Honestly, had we all not eaten dinner at different times, we would've left a large tip anyway but the service was not great save for the hostesses. Our server seemed mildly annoyed the duration of the night though our order WAS accurate, etc. With so many options I simply don't think I will be back.

    Fried Shrimp Basket
    Kiwi D.

    Kids menu popcorn shrimp was such a small portion that I had to ask if was the right amount. They said yes so I sent it back. $7 for 8 popcorn shrimp. Changed to the fried shrimp meal for $17 and it was the right choice. The naked shrimp boil was cold as were the sausage and corn when it came out. Very disappointing. The server pretty much ignored us after I asked about the popcorn shrimp. Not sure why she did as I knew it wasn't her fault. Over priced but that's almost everything on the beach.

    Yup they gave me a bib for the crabs

    We had such a great time eating seafood Friday night that we tried ANGRY CRAB RESTAURANT across from the Hampton inn Saturday night, they offered live music. I has the shrimp boil special at $20, what a great deal It looks small when u approach but the rooms go to the left into the courtyard. I highly recommend the seafood

    $280 Boil -No additions.

    Ate here with the fam and have to say was pretty disappointed. The price was high. The spices/seasoning was pretty bland. Seafood is seafood -so the protein was fine. The seasoning was bland. I went ahead and bought a couple of levels up on the heat -and it was not good either Hot -but not good. The boil and drinks and 2 appetizers was over $400; so 4 adults and 2 pre-teens and 2 toddlers ate for $57 each. I'm good with price -when quality is there; unfortunately, it was not. Sorry -can't give them a good review. The server -Tish, was sweet and took care of us -a diamond in the rough.

    We stopped here as a party of 5. 3 adults 2 kids and the food was delicious! Money well spent. Our eyes were bigger than our bellies and we had lots to take home. Service was prompt and our server was very nice. We loved the openness of the restaurant, the music playing was great and the restaurant has lots of natural light. Bathrooms were clean. We love spicy, and ordered level 2 for our boil. Ended up asking for level 3 on the side and probably could've gone up another level, but the flavor was there, it was delicious. We also ordered the lobster crostini and it was so refreshing and wasn't heavy on our stomachs. Would def order all over again. Shrimp and grits were out of this world!

    My family is a seafood family and my parents recommended this spot while we were visiting them in Orange Beach. We were able to walk in and grab a table pretty quickly as things turned around fast. They were busy but the staff are efficient and friendly. We decided to get the shrimp broil with a few extras thrown in. It seems kind of pricey at first but when you see that the bags feed multiple people, it really evens out. We were able to feed 4 adults out of one bag and we all had plenty to eat. Lots of yummy shrimp. We ordered a kids meal for one of our kids, but the other one was able to eat out of the bag as well since he is a shrimp lover like his dad. The only thing I would mention is that some of the extras are personal sized, so if you order something like coleslaw, it will only feed one person. It also was a little weird eating out of a bag, it felt like I was digging through the trash like a raccoon, ha! Other than that, not a bad place for some healthy, non-fried seafood broils.

It's the food folks go there for. The oysters were fresh and served in a simple appealing way. The fish was white and firm and delicious. The grilled shrimp they are famous for do not have a savory flavor, tastes more like they were grilled with honey on them. We were not expecting that at all. We did not like the 30 dollars worth of sweet shrimp. It does come in very generous portion if you like that type of flavor. Hush puppies were pretty darn good, light, nicely seasoned with good flavor. The Cole slaw was excellent. All portions were generous. Overall they are friendly, the service is personable and efficient! Ambiance is that of a local diner style, not fancy just comfortable. We liked everything but the sweet grilled shrimp. We are from the north and maybe it is just a southern style we aren't familiar with or used to consuming. The gumbo is pretty good too. They have great mixed drinks and they have one that is a salted caramel flavor that is really excellent. Overall: would highly recommend for a good meal and friendly service. Probably the best place we ate in the Orange Beach area.

Apparently it is not important enough to service staff to understand what is like to have someone in your party that has a food allergy. The most important thing, is to have the ability to empathize with your guests, and make their experience a good one. If there is an issue with cross contamination in your kitchen, then create an area in the kitchen solely to address those with food allergy needs. For example, when your customer tells you the sprite has no flavor, you don't just come back and tell them it looks fine to me and everything is hooked up. Try tasting it yourself and at least bring a new cup of it to the table. Don't come back empty handed. Then there was the Crab Cakes. After all of the seafood places I have been to in the southeast I found these crab cakes to be just so so. If you are going to deep fry them, please understand that the crab meat will turn to the consistency of tuna salad and is not pleasant to eat whatsoever. Perhaps skip the breading/deep fry and pan fry them instead? While the breading on the crab cake was crisp and delicious, it was a little off setting to have mushy crab on the inside. Again, this was a beautiful venue with a great view. I am troubled by the lack of attention to detail, especially when it comes to addressing your guests.

Love that pimento cheese ball appetizer with that blueberry pepper jelly! For lunch, I had the meat and three. It was all good, especially the collard greens.

Unfortunately my fish and potatoes were cold, cold and butter congealed. The greens were warm and good I had also ordered the cornbread. It was refreshing to see that it wasn't the usual cake like kind, plus not the ultra sweet kind either. More bread like with a hint of sweetness. Delicious. The fish and potatoes had a nice flavor but unfortunately the cold food spoiled the experience. Since I was a guest of my sister I didn't say anything about the cold food. What a disappointment. Maybe when I return things will be better.
