The crawfish is always good and the service was good as well. The professional manner was on point and it was a speedy process.

Dang it, I actually hate giving this low of a review because I *love* this place seafood boil. Get that mixed boil with trifecta seasoning, extra corn, extra potato... Heavenly, and will probably feed you for 2 meals. (Or 1.5 if you're really throwing down, guilty) The seafood boil alone is the better part of $50. And I'm not rich so this is something I get probably once or twice a month max as my "special treat." You eat this and you feel like a queen. BUT. You kind of ruined it for me tonight. Because I genuinely feel insulted by the amount of cornbread you supplied with my meal. I LOVE cornbread, and I paid $3 for it... which is like $5.00 in DoorDash money, and you gave me this TEENY piece that is like 2 bites. The thing about cornbread is that we all know it's cheap to make. It's an inexpensive carb that I feel like if you really wanted to make customers happy, you would include it free if you buy a seafood boil. But I get that the economy is tough, so I bought and was *really* looking forward to it. But then got this. 　it's so small it's just going to make me want more of it and I'll probably end up making corn bread at midnight. Please consider this if you want your customers to come back. I feel so gipped. read more

Angry Crab Shack - 2 bites of Cornbread for $3??! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Firstly the food here is delicious, the reason for my 3 stars review is they are SO CHEAP with the shrimp. This bowl was $16 and they only put 6 small shrimp- look at the HUGE thing of sauce they give, like for what!? You didn't even put 1/2 lb. You'd be WAYYY better off getting 1 lb of peel and eat shrimp and just doing it that way. Now I know for future, it all tasted delicious, I'm just still hungry- such a little amount of shrimp. I'll NEVER order this again!!! read more

I used to come here all the time and order a pound of clams, garlic sauce medium. Last year was probably the last time this place was good. I have no idea what happened 2026 but I can't eat here anymore. The calamari isn't crispy it is soggy, the clams (maybe other fish is good but I can't have the other fish) were chewier with knots which needed to be spit out. The service is great, but their food just has been going down hill, the server himself was even honest with me when I asked about the cold noodles, saying "those aren't good". I believe him because even the side of rice tasted over cooked. Never had this problem before, but then again I haven't seen the same employees as last year.... I don't know what it is guys but I wouldn't waste my money in the food. The drinks are decent. Sorry Angry Crab Shack, you used to be one of my favorites :(. read more

Another great experience! Service tonight was excellent -- the lady behind the bar was exceptional. She offered a great recommendation on the sauce, and I'm glad I took her advice. I grabbed a seat at the bar and went for 2 pounds of crawfish, trifecta Ghost Pepper Hot -- that smoky heat really hits just right. Added hb egg n corn. The bartender's sauce suggestion was perfect for dipping (and you know I love to dip). I rounded it out with a hard-boiled egg and corn, and it all came together beautifully. I Absolutely enjoy my work trips. Support local business when you travel! read more

Came here a couple days ago and I sat at the bar had a couple of beers and ordered 2lbs of no head shrimp to go , I got home and realized it was head on shrimp. Absolutely disgusting! The shrimp were full of poo and they tasted repulsive. I called and explained that they gave me head on shrimp and I was left on hold and after waiting for 10 minutes I just hung up. I will not be back to this location. $50 plus a $10 tip just down the drain smh. read more

I've been to this ACS multiple times over the years so I'm not sure why I haven't reviewed it until now, but better late than never! It wasn't until recently that my eleven year old daughter started asking to try a "seafood boil" after seeing them trending on social media. I told her I knew just the place and we headed here for a mom/daughter date. Little did I realize what an expensive date it would be! She went for the Shack Trio and I had the Shrimp Crab Combo. We both enjoyed so much that when she asked to go back a few weeks later, I was in! My brother joined us on the next visit and it was a success once again. Service was better on our second visit but very slow and not very attentive the first time. It's pricey but it's a super fun experience - especially for seafood lovers. If you go for the seafood boils, get ready to work for your food and get your hands dirty... even with the bib and gloves. We'll be back! read more

Fried fish is my favorite and I was pleased to try Angry Crab Shack for the first time while in Arizona. I ordered online, the price was reasonable and the staff were friendly. Plenty of outside and indoor seating. Family friendly. The meal itself was delicious. Catfish tasted fresh and not slimy. The highlight was the sauce, I believe I had the Cajun mayo sauce. It was perfect. You get one fillet of fish so I would not recommend to share, but this was a great restaurant. Thank you read more

Popped in on a Saturday afternoon and was seated right away for a table of one. Service was prompt from the front door to my server Nita. I tried the lemon blossom drink which was sweet and flavorful just how I like my drinks. Main choice was the king crab and I added 1/2 lb shrimp without the head, 1 sausage. 2 eggs, 2 corn and 3 potatoes. I maybe have gone a little over board haha but left overs were just as tastee on day 2 as it was on day 1. The cajun and garlic sauce were the right choice for me with very very mild spice. My craving for a boil was satisfied and I will be back again. read more

Went for lunch with my girls and we had a positive experience overall. Love that they have a lunch option for the crab and shrimp boil. The flavors were on point, I ordered the trifecta hot, perfect if you like spice. The server was a bit introverted but still nice and accommodating, goes to show that a good server doesn't have to be all up in your face to do a good job. I finished the whole thing and I was in a good coma. Will be returning for lunch! read more

Angry Crab Shack - Major food coma, my first time ever trying seafood boil - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This location could definitely use some attention when it comes to cleanliness--it felt pretty dirty overall. That said, the food here is actually better than the Bell location, and I did enjoy the trifecta sauce. The service was decent, with some improvements to the cleanliness, this place could be much better. read more

We love Angry Crab Shack, and with the rising cost of seafood, they have one of the better lunch menus with entrees starting as low as $8.00. My wife and I both ordered the shrimp boils, $10.00, which comes with 1/2 lb. of shrimp, corn on the cob, red potato, and a soft drink, a really great deal. Their lunch specials are available Monday-Friday from 11-3, and in today's economy, the Angry Crab Shack's lunch menu is a really great value. read more

first off: amazing lunch deal here!!! the shrimp and crab combo for $20 was more than enough to split between two friends and not be overly stuffed. we added hard boiled eggs and got the sweet potato fries too. bill ended up around $37 which is SO reasonable for seafood boil and i will definitely be coming back for another lunch deal! the service was quick, the staff were so sweet and because it was a wednesday afternoon, it was pretty chill and empty inside. the food came out so fast and we had an absolute blast. the trifecta is the best sauce for sure and we got it hot -- could definitely stand to go spicier next time! read more

Angry Crab Shack - demolished - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I went to Angry Crab yesterday and had one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I used to come here often with my son, but after this visit, I'll never go back. We usually sit in a booth, but even though several were available, they wouldn't let us -- I had to sit in the middle of the section. I ordered the gumbo, which was not good at all. I also ordered oysters, but never received them because the waiter forgot to include them. My son's lemonade had a strange aftertaste. For my meal, I ordered the Queen Crab, scallops, lobster tails, an egg, and two red potatoes. The crab had an odd ammonia-like taste, the egg was dry and unpleasant, and instead of the red potatoes I ordered, they brought me corn. The scallops were just okay. Overall, the food was over-seasoned, dry, and unevenly cooked -- there were just clumps of seasoning all over. The staff did offer to replace my Queen Crab, and the second batch was slightly better, but still overcooked and hard in some areas. I also told the waiter about the missing oysters and the wrong sides, but he brought me yet another corn instead of the potatoes I asked for. A manager did come by earlier to check in and tried to help me charge my phone, which I appreciated, but the overall experience was still terrible. The quality of the food was awful, especially for the $136 I paid. Even though I still left a 15% tip, I walked away completely disappointed. read more

I was taken care of by Katie Sue--she was attentive, checked in on me a few times over a couple of hours. The food was delicious, and the drinks were great. I ordered a Michelada, and the mix was really good. They would have gotten a four star review if I didn't had to ask for the sausage side I order that they missed. Also I asked for extra gloves from Ben and instead looking over his shoulder looking for Katie or of just passing the request along, he went back and got them for me--great teamwork! read more

I always have a hard time eating her because I'm not a crap/shrimp/lobster person, but I do enjoy scallops and mussels, so that's what I got in my steam bag. I feel like the mussels always come out overdone and it's so disappointing because the seasonings are so good. The scallops were great though. Clam chowder was good, nothing to ride home about, but that spicy edamame was amazingggg!! Service was good, no complaints there. And it's a very casual place to go out to eat. I was in my yoga pants and a tank top after hitting the gym and didn't feel like I was out of place at all. My family got the crab legs and lobster and said all of it was amazing. Definitely add the potatoes and corn to your bag! They both soak up all the flavors so nice and the potatoes are cooked perfectly. I love that they started bringing out these metal bowls to empty the bag out in now! So much easier and way less of a mess. Also, no more rolls of paper towels and they actually have a napkin dispenser, which I can appreciate. read more

I was craving a seafood boil for my birthday so we walked to Angry Crab for lunch today. They have a nice $15 lunch special that included 1/2 lb of crab legs; 1/2 lb of shrimp; a potato and a small ear of corn. It was the perfect size lunch for me (plus a lot of extra shrimp to take home). It's messy but it's yummy. They weren't busy at all today- service was excellent and everything was piping hot and the right spice level. They did bring me cake and ice cream and sang (really loudly) for my bday. Fun! Good choice and we will be back! read more

Rolled into Angry Crab Shack like a man on a mission--starving post-CrossFit and dreaming of protein. Went with the half pound of naked shrimp (gluten-free everything because my stomach's dramatic), tossed in sausage, corn, and two potatoes for good measure. Roughly 50g of protein and full caveman satisfaction. It wasn't just dinner--it was a delicious, buttery brawl in a bag. read more

We from Louisiana, living in CO, and miss our seafood. So when have the chance we get some! This place was pretty phenomenal, maybe not quite Louisiana-grade but close enough. Started with hushpuppies- they were perfect! I got a cocktail that is similar to a pina colada, the taste was very similar but not creamy. For dinner I got the shrimp and crab combo with the trifecta sauce, spice level angry ghost (4/6). I was not really concerned that it would be extremely spicy because I never find extreme spice at most restaurants, but let me tell you this was spicy! A bit too much to properly enjoy. I think if I had gone with 2/6 or 3/6 spice it would have been better, but the sauce itself was great. Also got a side of red beans and rice, they were good but not great. No sausage. Husband got charred oysters, he said they were okay, and fried catfish, which was excellent! We had to get some hush puppies and "soppin' bread" to go, they were so good. Our waitress was very nice and informative. I felt everything was fairly priced. A must try! read more

This was the best experience I have ever had at the Angry Crab. I have been here a handful of times and never thought to leave a review until this last visit. We had Deana as our server and she was so fun and attentive. I would literally come back just to have her as my server. She sat us promptly and was so attentive the whole time. She is a gem! read more

So I know most people come here for the boiling in the bag but as I'm still recovering from my procedure I cannot have that cuz it's just too much and the oils and all the other junk they put in with the crustacean is not good for me. So I went with the grilled shrimp dinner with just vegetables for $16. I was shocked to see that they only gave me five grilled shrimp. That's $3 per shrimp. How much shrimp can we all get at Fry's or a supermarket for seven bucks. Can you say major ripoff. The vegetables weren't even fully cooked and were not comfortable going down. The service was fine and the atmosphere was really loud and full of a lot of kids. So I can handle a portion of a boil and a bag again minus all the junk this is definitely off of my radar and they should at least be reasonable and giving you a decent amount of shrimp. I saw 7 on a skewer for eight bucks at Sprouts last night get a clue read more

Angry Crab Shack - Grilled Shrimp - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was visiting from California and heard this place was a must try, so my family and I came here to try it out for dinner. As expected, seafood was pretty pricey but I felt like there was lots that came with the orders. My family of five shared a few bags of mixed seafood boil of shrimp, crawfish, clams and crab legs with sides of corn, potatoes and sausage. For the seafood, everything felt perfectly cooked. Nothing was too chewy and the shells peeled off so easily. The corn absorbing the Cajun sauce was delicious! So juicy and soft! This was the first seafood boil restaurant I've been to where I couldn't finish everything. The only negative thing was that the potatoes were undercooked; I ended up not eating my two pieces. The service was attentive and our orders came out fast. The place is huge with lots of seating, great for groups. It was worth traveling for. I'd come back. read more

Given the previous positive reviews on this site, I must have caught these folks on an off day. The restaurant was about 20% occupied during the lunch hour, but the service was nevertheless slow. There were a fair number of flies inside the restaurant, and the music was (for me) too loud to allow easy conversation. My food was OK, the prices were good and the staff was pleasant enough, but this restaurant was definitely not for me. read more

Awful. Waitress was asked to bring out the clam chowder, it came at the end and cold. They took it back and brought it when we were about to leave. Right. They never once checked on us. Then the manager made a face when asked to cancel the order since it was never brought out before the meal as requested. Then the waitress comes to give a long explanation about being short on staff and only having 2 waitresses. When I daw 5 waitresses doing nothing. I left a huge $0 tip. Will never go back to this location. By the way the lady took our order and the hostess brought it out. There were only 2 tables when we arrived. read more

Angry Crab Shack - Family Feast - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've been coming to this location since 2018 and most of the time I have amazing eats, drinks and service. Last weekend I went with my family. The location wasn't busy and we got sat right away. The server introduced herself and I said "we're ready to order". Server told me I had to wait because she needs to bring us waters bring another table drinks and take another tables order first...... We had to wait about another 15 minutes to place an order. I'm not saying she needed to run and put our food order in but multitasking is a thing... what was the harm in taking our order right then? Server was extremely rude and I actually started to get help from a food runner I think because our server just wasn't around. Bad customer service really hurts a visit and with one time it really puts a bad taste in my mouth because why would I go back knowing I could possibly have that server again? read more

Unfortunately this location just isn't it. The past three times I have come the food has been overcooked, orders wrong, and attitude given when it's been brought to attention. I'm giving two stars as opposed to one only because the manager Timothy and our server were very kind after the kitchen manager was not. This is the closest location to where I live but I will have to travel to a different location when I want angry crab. Also a side note - the floors were very sticky this past time. My sandal stuck to the floor and I accidentally stepped out and my bare foot touched the floor.... I don't think I'd even let my dog eat off that floor LOL read more

Very disappointing food. Ordered take home food on 10/27/25. My wife and I ordered Fish and Chips and a Fried Shrimp basket. Also, an order of hush puppies and red beans and rice. None of it was good. Fish breading was doughy, not crispy. Lacking flavor. Shrimp was bland. Tasted like frozen fried shrimp you can get at a grocery store. The hush puppies were also doughy. The red beans and rice taste like it was from a can. No flavor. No spice. We threw out 75% of the meal. A complete waste of money. Too much money. read more

I loved this place! I was visiting the Phoenix area with my cousins for a girls weekend and we really wanted to dig into pots of seafood. We explored yelp for a couple different options and decided the Angry Crab met the parameters of what we were looking for, both in experience and food. We wanted to be able to order a variety of crab, shrimp, lobster, etc. and Angry Crab offers it all. The seafood here is delicious. It's expensive once you get going, but for an "every once in awhile meal" it was worth it. For me, the snow crab and shrimp were by far the most delicious of our meal. Plan to get messy. Really really messy. They have a trough in the back of the restaurant to wash up and don't hesitate to recalibrate and ask for new gloves halfway through. Our server checked in on us regularly and was really helpful in bringing out supplies as we needed them and emptying our bucket of waste as it filled up. She also helped get the lobster out of the shell and with breaking up some of the crab too. If you're looking for a fun, yummy, and casual seafood experience or crab boil, don't hesitate to visit the Angry Crab. read more

Got take out at Angry Crab Shack on Indian School Road for dinner. The Mussels with the trifecta sauce was outstanding! My husband had the Lobster Rolls with French Fries, and coleslaw.

Originally planning to have dinner at a local place in Phoenix, that didn't work out. Still craving seafood, we stumbled upon the Angry Crab Shack. Welcomed by a friendly hostess, we were seated and greeted by our waiter, Ben. The atmosphere was immediately inviting, combining a family-friendly vibe with the feel of a sports bar/restaurant. The theme was nicely executed, complemented by a very nice-looking menu. The menu impressed with a variety of great items. Ben's recommendations were spot-on -- the gumbo was superb, and the catfish basket (glad I listened) along with the fried shrimp were delicious. Angry Crab Shack resembles the Boiling Crab in L.A., but the unique touch is allowing patrons to sign their names on the wall, a cool way to leave your mark. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely come back. As a seafood lover, it's a must-visit. Although I skipped the messy option tonight (the one where you put it on the table), the overall dining experience was excellent. Plus, it's super affordable! read more

Absolutely delicious Fantastic service Dess was great cheerful and knowledgeable about the menu

This is an updated review. Missing item once again. Used to order from here a lot but haven't ordering much since they messed up my order so many times in the past. I was craving some clams so I ordered clams, mussels and of course. Most of add on items are missing again. No way to opt for re- delivery of missing item. Reached out to the store and the response and customer service staff didn't really care for the mistake. Clams are also poor quality, half of the clams were closed shut. They were attached to the shell, very difficult and some were impossible to detach from the shells. Waste of $45 should have known better. Don't recommend this place at all. read more
