Charred Oysters
Gladys P.

Felt like oysters, checked Yelp and this place happened to be right around the corner! They had raw oysters and fried oysters but we wanted to try something different so we ordered the charred oysters. Loved them. Also got the lobster roll, I think it would have been better if the roll was toasted. Ky was our server, I think she was new but great personality and very attentive.

Usually, we love coming to angry crab shack. We've tried many around the valley. This one was a little slow to greet us and we saw others have the same issue upon arrival. The food was tasty and the server was nice. Nothing notable to say that makes this angry crab shack stand out from any others.

The food it's live crawfish based review so I've tried most of their locations and have had exceptional service and food. HERE NEVER AGAIN! I mentioned the first pound was over cooked hard to peel and asked to cook them a little less bartender did so not a huge change in quality but I know the effort was there once shift change the experience plummeted QUICKLY. WAY OVER COOKED! only this location with this issue though. This place their ambiance is larger and offer patio dining their bartenders are very green after not drinking anything including water and eating 3 pounds of crawfish 2 alcoholic drinks prior I was told I was cut off after I finished pound 3 because I ordered a third alcoholic drink. Confused still today I'm confused I had been there since 2 and it was now 6 because I know my limits with food and alcohol. I still tipped 10% but as someone who tips great it was more charity than deserving. I would recommend any location outside this one.

If I could give more than 5 , I absolutely would! The food was incredible, and our server, Mars, went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. The assistant manager even stopped by to share some great tips for enjoying the crab and lobster -- such a nice touch! Our party of 15 couldn't stop raving about everything we ordered, and the calamari...Hands down the best I've ever had! Looking forward to visiting again in the future.

The best crawfish I've ever had!!!! Went for a late dinner the other night and we definitely made the right choice. This place was fun, fast, and delicious. I went with the live crawfish, and queen crab. Absolutely delicious.

Food was good. I'm from the Northwest so I'm used to fresh seafood. But it was good and expected. The service was great the young lady was helpful and attentive. The ambiance reminded me of 90's grunge. But I love the 90's so it was cool.

The settings relaxed which is nice, though it's a bit loud when they start ringing the bell and sounding the alarms in there - that is something I could have done without. The service was good. The food was overall decent with the exception of the chicken strips, they weren't even real chicken. It was the nasty ground up stuff. I broke one open and immediately sent them back. Everything else was good though, so we left full. All in all, not a bad place to grab some cheap seafood.

The food was good, had no issues and the server was very nice! however can't say the same for the hosts. first impressions are important when I walk into a restaurant which is the only reason I'll give 3 stars. I wasn't greeted or smiled at. Just told "follow me" with attitude.

Head off shrimp bag with veggies : 10/10 Spice level Trifecta 3 : could have gone spicier!

We absolutely love Angry Crab, there are a lot of seafood boil places out there, but none that beat the flavors of Angry Crab! We actually loved the old location in the Ahwatukee Foothills better but this location is second best. I wish they had a bigger bar with more selections like the old one, so we just sit at the tables here. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. We always split a bag of head off shrimp with veggies and sausage! Plus we ALWAYS order extra sauces for dipping! I really like the flavor of the two and three but my husband really enjoys spice but he prefers the flavor of four more than the five. Both are super spicy but the five seems to make him feel sick after eating it... FYI if You're debating between the two! It's the perfect amount of food and if you're extra hungry grab some French fries on happy hour for a starter cause they are excellent! The spice here is so addictive you'll be craving it the very next day however take some enzymes before going and prepare for some stanky burps! Not a good first date place for sure;)

Hot n Juicy will always be my favorite seafood boil…read more No head shrimp+ potato+corn Green mussels Live clams Cajun fries All in hot n juicy mild I've tried all the Las Vegas locations, this one is not as busy. The food tastes the same as the original location. There are literally no negative things to say about hot n juicy. Shrimp is always my go to. The green mussels were better than the clams. Service was excellent, checked on our drinks multiple times. Brought a lot of gloves because we kept switching them out for new ones. We went at the beginning of happy house so it was not busy.

Please read Order…read more1LB of shrimp, received the bag with sausage in it. I don't eat sausage ( due to religious beliefs ) , the server said she will have it REMADE . I said thank you. She takes it back, shortly after comes out with a "New" bag. I want to give benefit of the doubt that they didn't pick it out , I eat partial of the bag ( the two potatoes I ordered to be exact ) and notice that there was left over unpicked sausage. Regardless religious beliefs , or food allergies. If you mess up an order , offer for it to be remade and take it back to hand fix it... That's terrible service .Pure laziness , and taking advantage of your customers trust . The cook needs to be written up , and possibly the server. I can't blame the server , but as the server i'm also sure you were aware they wasn't enough time to remake that bag . I'll give benefit of the doubt the server didn't know , but it was a red flag on how quick this new bag came out . This company has lost my trust with my food, any complaints you give them , in my opinion you can't trust them with your food if pull shady tactics like this. On top of that they still charged us the 18% service fee , we abruptly left after bringing it to their attention. Terrible service , and trust in the food industry. Use to be my favorite seafood place to go to.... Hot N Juicy , how can you make this right ? Went on 08/13/2026 Lissa was the manager at the time.

I'm a big fan of Angry Crab & La Crab Shack, last night I was going out with a friend I hadn't seen…read morein a while & we were craving seafood, so we decided on Angry crab since it was near to where we needed to be. Then I decided, let me browse seafood on maps and I seen this place, the menu had broil in the bags similar to the other two restaurants and since neither one of us had been here we decided to try it. Long story short now onto the real review of the place, parking is big, when I got to the place it didn't look like many cars. Which made me hope this place didn't disappoint; plus side was plenty of parking and no wait to sit. I got my booth while I waited for my friend I loved the interior it looked real clean and the decor was nice, the vibes were more calming and chill than rowdy(if you've been to angry crab or la crab shack you'll know what I mean). They have a huge bar with stools to sit at and booths. Now to the food, they had a broad menu seafood broil (the only reason I go to these places) and Asian like, such as sushi and other things to be honest I didn't pay attention, because I went for the seafood broil only and it's easy to order. I got head on shrimp, with house Cajun sauce, spicy, and added potatoes and sausage. It was so good!! If you like spicy it's perfect! It does have a kick, but good. When I got my bag the food was steaming I would take off a point on the sausage(don't get me wrong it was good! But when biting I would have to pull in order to break off I feel like it was the skin of the sausage being annoying) and they were thinly cut, but not worth taking a star off. The staff was friendly, I would return and I can't wait to bring my husband, let me add that the prices are great, they seemed cheaper than the other two places I mentioned above.

So we found this place about a week or so ago trying to change things up a little. We really…read moreenjoyed it because the food was good and the people were nice and the restaurant was very clean and cool. So this time we wanted dinner but we didn't wanna actually go out so I came and picked up takeout. The place is still clean. The food is still good and even though it was a completely different staff, they were very nice and very friendly. The only downside to this place is they used to have sushi when it was owned by a previous owner and they no longer have that. But that's OK.

Pier 88 Boiling Seafood is our go-to seafood boil restaurant in the Valley. We regularly dine at…read morethe one in Tolleson, but found ourselves in Mesa today and were in the mood for seafood boil. This location is a much nicer facility and in a better area than the one in Tolleson. The menu is consistent too, which made it easy for us to order our favorites. I hope you get Gigi as your server as she is very pleasant, friendly and checks on you regularly. However, the two (2) greeters at the hostess stand are a different story. It is obvious neither of them like their jobs and just come in to punch a clock. It would be nice if they at least made eye contact with the customers before they have you follow them to the table they have picked out for you. Smile? . . . that's out of the question, too. We determined by the expressions on their faces their parents probably told them since they graduated from high school they aren't going to sit around the house doing nothing all day so this must the the place they applied to.

After driving by this place many times on our way to nearby Dink & Dine, my daughter and I decided…read moreto give it a try. We are fans of the local competitor and wanted to see how this one compared. TLDR: the other one is better! We each ordered the Famous Low Country Boil - mine with lemon pepper sauce and my daughter with the 88 Special, a combo of all the sauces. She went with no spice and I went with mild. We also ordered a bowl of rice. We did enjoy what we had but it seemed heavier than what we are used to. We were not big fans of the sausage mixed in and our service was fine, but not amazing. We were also disappointed that there were not scissors offered to help get the meat out of the crab / lobster - we really had to work for it! On a positive note, we did make good use of the wet wipes that were given to us as well as our bibs and gloves. It is quite a messy meal and note that I learned the hard way: don't wear white if you're planning on ordering any kind of seafood boil! Pricing is similar to the competitor. Ambiance is chill but not as fun. I would not rush back, but I also would return with reasonable expectations.
