    Shrimp and very runny grits.
    Jen M.

    Hubby and son really wanted some crab so off we went yesterday to Angry Crab Shack on Broadway. The first two things we noticed is the EXTREMELY sticky floors and a broken booth right when you walk in. We were seated right away and greeted by our waiter (R) quickly. I was taken aback at the clear smell of alcohol radiating from him although he was courteous. They both ordered their crab and I ordered shrimp and grits. The grits were so runny that the shrimp sank to the bottom. The shrimp were sandy somehow which was weird. The guys said their crab was good. For the three of us, the bill plus tab was about $300 - seemed high for a meh experience.

    Given the area this is located... I had been a little sus about trying it out... now I feel my problem Is going to be limiting my frequency. Such a cool space and super friendly staff. The seafood is delicious (they have non seafood options but I didnt try anything else as I came here for the seafood). The fried clams were really good (and I'm not generally into fried clams)... they have a bit of a spice and flavored well. We got the Broil for Two with the trifecta seasoning and medium spice level and it was perfect. The sweet corn was sweet and the potatoes were cooked just right. They do offer you gloves, all the gadgets for eating seafood and even a bib. Market Prices can seem high... but you would pay more at almost any other seafood restaurant for the variety in the Boil for Two. They have a decent bar with several cocktail and beer options. Only suggestion I would have is - wear short sleeves and dig in!!

    First time at Angry Crab Shack and it was pretty good! I've had seafood boil before so I ordered the Crawfish and Clams to the bag. The clams were delicious but the crawfish was hit or miss. Some of the crawfish tasted off and the ones were a lot more mushy and soft compared to the fresher ones. I've had better seafood boil elsewhere, so i'm glad I was at least able to try the one that Tucson offers!

    This was the chosen restaurant by the hubby for his birthday. His review of his seafood boil: He loved it! He said the seafood was fresh, and the spice he selected which was mild but tangy, was perfect for his taste. The seafood boil comes out in a big plastic bag that is placed inside a can. Rather than dumping the entire thing right onto the table, which you can do....the hubby pulled out the plastic bag and ripped it open. That way the seafood stayed soaking in the juice while he ate. They provide you with claw crackers, gloves, and a bib. Me being a vegetarian, I had looked at the menu online prior to going to make sure there was something for me to eat. There was....I ordered the garlic noodle bowl and the angry endamame. Warning...the garlic noodle bowl was delish, but a tad too much garlic. No vampires were going to get me that night...LOL! The trifecta sauce on the angry endamame was fantastic! It contains cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic. It was so yummy! No need to dress up in this place....very casual. Check the board when going on as there are drink specials listed. The service was great....very friendly people.

    This place is amazing! Trifecta medium was the perfect sauce for our boil! Service was great, even on a super busy Saturday! Love the sinks in the restaurant area! Highly recommend!

    Best cajun seafood I've ever had.

    This was a fabulous place. We went there for our anniversary and we're not disappointed. Hubby had the fried shrimp and loved it. I had fish and chips and will be eating it tomorrow as well, as there was so much. Beans and rice that came with my meal was some of the best beans and rice I've ever had. The calamari appetizer was for sure the best. Grace was a very intentive waitress. There wasn't one thing negative about this place.

    Barbeque is quintessential American cuisine. The "low and slow" cooking with meat and smoke is…read moreunique and uniquely delicious in the culinary world. Regional styles like Memphis, Kansas City, Texas and others all have their own wonderful nuances. And while there isn't a distinct Arizona style, we're pretty good at throwin' something dead on the smoker here. And that's just what they do at The Bashful Bandit in Tucson. Their ribs and sausages are good. The brisket is lean, but very flavorful. I didn't get to try the chicken, but the highlight was the pulled pork. If there were an Arizona style BBQ it would be something like this. They cheat the competition rules, but I'm okay with that. They put some green chile in the pulled pork and it's an absolute killer. Not so killer was their coleslaw. It was as sour as the face on my ex-wife and as bland as the seggs we had before she broke up with me. And while I never had a side dish, the side dishes here (apart from the coleslaw) were all yummy. Really good mac and cheese, top shelf cowboy beans, and a potato salad that was dressed in dill and tasting mighty fine. Speaking of dressed, I like my BBQ naked, but if you need sauce (sissy) then go for the house sauce. Great flavor, just a little heat, and just a little sweet - very balanced. The spicy sauce was just okay and the mustard sauce might as well have just been French's Mustard from a two-dollar squirt bottle. Most importantly, while you're wiping the house sauce off your greasy lips, go back to the counter and do yourself a favor, order their appropriately and hilariously named "Smoked Crack Pie." It's an other worldly happy ending to your meal (didn't see that coming, didja?). This thing is a simple but genius dessert. They take a chocolate chip cookie covered in a vanilla custard topping and put it in the smoker. It's got a gooey consistency like a pecanless pecan pie and tastes like if your favorite brownie and crème brûlée had a baby (I'm honestly not sure how that would work...it's weird just to imagine the mechanics really...). Anyhow, don't be bashful, get to The Bashful Bandit in Midtown Tucson and git yerself a case of the meat sweats. You won't regret it.

    We've had Bashful Bandit a couple times now, both as catering at a party and a takeout dinner for a…read moresmall group. The highlights for me amongst their 'que are the chopped brisket, the Sonoran hot links (which definitely bring the heat!), and the smoked jackfruit. While I'm an omnivore, I really love that they have meatless options for when I'm not feeling like eating meat. I enjoyed their sides as well. The Sunflower Crunch Salad is a nice no-mayo coleslaw with seeds and fruit that give it some nice textural and flavor contrasts. The Dill Potato Salad is on the lighter side for a potato salad (this is a compliment), with some bright herbaciousness. The Mac & Cheese, by contrast, is super heavy and rich. They round out the plate nicely! The staff are friendly and quick to help adjust orders if there's something you wanted that they're out of.

My Uber driver was raving about it on the way over, which sealed the deal. While the cheap beer does require a food purchase, I was planning to eat anyway--no complaints there. I went with the 3-for-$11 taco deal and it was more than enough food. You get to choose between green or red salsa; I went with the green, which definitely has a nice kick. I asked the server if they could mix it up with two brisket tacos and one pork belly, and they were happy to accommodate. After reading some mixed reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised--nothing was dry or overly fatty. Everything was flavorful and delicious. My total for four 10-oz beers and three tacos was just over $20, which is an incredible deal for the quality and amount of food and drink. I came to watch the U of A basketball game, and this place is perfect for it--plenty of TVs, tons of seating, and even space for large groups. There's also a covered outdoor patio with lots of seating, plus foosball and cornhole. Parking was easy, too. I sat at the bar, struck up a great conversation, and found the patrons to be super friendly. Overall, a great vibe all around. Highly recommend Cheap Beer Tuesdays: $2 for a 10-oz pour and $4 for a 20-oz pour. Easily one of the best beer deals in town. I'll definitely be back!

As someone who frequented this restaurant for the last few years, I had a firsthand look at how things were run, and in my experience management operated very unprofessionally. It ultimately pushed me to stop supporting this business, and based on those experiences, I can no longer recommend it. There are far better BBQ options out there. From what I personally witnessed, the owner, David, was consistently disrespectful toward employees and created a company culture that I don't believe deserves support. Also important to note that there is something up with the drains/ sewer system in this building and about once a week the entire dining room smells like a sewer leak.. gross
