We really like coming to this place. It isn't fancy, but it is fun. The decor is rustic seaside. There is lots of wood everywhere and they've allowed people to write on it. Surprisingly we haven't seen a lot of vulgar things written, although we did try to correct some grammar as we sat there. There's a giant shark overhead as well as a rowboat. There's an alligator over the tin roof over the tables on the side. Of course they have crab and shrimp boils, but we didn't order any of that. We got the blackened shrimp Caesar salad, fried gator nuggets, fried okra, and frogs legs. Everything was, as always, really yummy. They do serve quite a variety of pre-mixed cocktails, and they are cheap. Today we ordered two hurricanes, but in the past I've really liked the peach daiquiri Another good thing about this place is the prices. They're lunch specials run until 6:00 p.m., so if you're there before 6:00 you'll get some good deals. The gator nuggets come in a paper tray and the salad comes in a plastic take out bowl, but it's all just fine. read more

The food is absolutely delicious and it comes very hot! Every time I come here i'm always satisfied and full lol. I would totally recommend this place if you want a good ol seafood boil or even regular food read more

Vanessa is the BEST server there. She's extremely friendly and attentive. She has an upbeat demeanor that makes you feel welcomed and not bothersome to her. She's truly a beautiful spirit. The manager April is also a beautiful spirit. She literally greets everyone that comes in. She also walks to every single table to check in. These two are definitely a GREAT asset to the company! read more

This is the spot my girlfriend's daughter wanted to go for her graduation dinner and I'm glad she did. I've only ever been to the competitor of here and so I was actually excited to try this place. The food was pretty good, like as good as the other places like this, and the staff were friendly and helpful even though we had about 20 people. The atmosphere was cool and inviting and they had a few TV's as well so I was able to keep up with the NBA playoffs. I will say they were busy but didn't seem AS busy as other places which makes it a great alternative to those other spots. If you ever want some good Cajun seafood and an atmosphere that's pretty laid back and chill, I say skip the bigger chain spot and head over to LA Crab Shack. I don't think you'll be disappointed. 5 stars! read more

Enjoyed great appetizers (fried oysters, calamari and okra) and crawfish and shrimp Rajun Cajun seafood boil with sausage, corn and potatoes. The spice level was spot on. We love this place and come as often as possible and recommend over many others in the valley! Kudos to our server Candi who was very attentive and we will be asking for her at our next visit. read more

I really enjoy this place because they serve really good seafood and the service is very amazing! I recommended you go here!!

We were in the area for a local event, and the food trucks were ridiculously expensive. I spotted LA Crab Shack in the mini-mall, so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is large and comfortable, relatively quiet and very clean. We were seated immediately, and our server was friendly and fun. We had fish and chips, a crayfish bag, and a shrimp bag. All the food was plentiful and tasty. Dinner for 3 with drinks was about $40 each, and we all felt the food was both excellent, and a good value. I will most definitely eat here again. read more

Came out with some friends, they already ordered before we got there. We got the family platter, and added sausage and side rice. I prefer everything to come out in the bag, but they wanted it on a platter, which I feel the food gets colder faster. The crab legs were awesome! No complaints there, but the crawfish tasted very fishy. Didn't even bother sucking the bodies, because there was no flavor to them. The shrimp also tasted rather fishy. We also asked for mild and I think we got no spice. I was told it's normally not like this, so I'll rate 3.5. The big thing keeping me positive about this place was the waiter. He was very welcoming and chill and had great energy as an individual. It made for a way better experience while eating here. He also kept all our drinks topped off and he made it fun to be there! I will try it again, next time get my own personal bag! read more

By far my favorite sea food boil restaurant / location. The food is always fast, hot, and tasty. I've never had a bad experience nor had to wait a long time to get sat. The restaurant is always clean, and has a lot of seating. The staff there are always really friendly. I got a bag with ramen, sausage, corn and sometimes I get potato's. I also like shrimp, but they only sell them by the pound and I cant finish a pound alone. My favorite seasoning is a medium house blend, and is super flavorful. Our waiter Phillip was super helpful and welcoming, he made sure we had enough lemons and our drinks were always refilled. read more

Food was tasty and delicious. Huge menu. Raw oysters fresh, gumbo tasty. Prices very reasonable. Cooks did a fantastic job on everything including hush puppies. Rosie our waitress was attentive and timely It was our first time and we will return for sure read more

I visit Mesa every year and this has quickly become a place I have to stop! I only order one type of protein since I come with one other person, but I always enjoy it! I ordered the 1/2 lb of shrimp with medium spiciness and the house spice. I love all the flavors in the house blend and the shrimp is always cooked well. I usually get sausage and potatoes and it's a decent price for a good seafood meal. The atmosphere is nice, very open space where you can just see everyone chowing down. There's a few TVs spread out and while I was there they had college football on which a lot of people were into. Our server was quick and efficient and was quick to ask us for refills if we needed them. I hope to be back next year for my annual trip! read more

This is the best Cajun boil in Phoenix. The flavor is outstanding. The service is also great. I mostly stick to shrimp, but I have tried the crab and it's also good. Sometimes you go to a boil and get overcut crab, but they did a great job. I also like the hush puppies, my wife likes the wings. read more

Food was pretty good. I feel like it was average. Nothing special. The server seemed a bit annoyed/disconnected. I believe the staff were on break and having a meeting in the dining area, and there weren't many other customers so it was a bit awkward. The restaurant isn't a hole in the wall but the decorations kind of make it one. Wouldn't go back. read more

amazing food and workers , we come here weekly for bomb a$$ food and bomb service, love their drinks too

Honestly amazing happy hour deals, spanning from 12-6PM every weekday. However, the seafood quality was less than desirable hence the disappointing 3 stars. Entire place was empty during lunchtime so there was plenty of parking. Service was incredible and she came to check on me consistently. Food also came out quickly and I didn't have to wait longer than a few minutes for any item. The happy menu offered cocktails for $4.50 and the frozen versions were mixable. Server recommended the pina colada swirled with frozen strawberry which I happily obliged in. Alongside the discounted drinks were varied fried critters and $1.50 oysters. =ORDERED= *Pina Colada + Strawberry: honestly tasted better when it was partially melted since it gave me a brain freeze. Strawberry was subtle so I would only get the pina colada next time. Surprisingly boozy! *Fried Clams: disappointed with how much batter was on each clam. Ratio neared 2:1 in terms of batter to clam so I could only taste grease. Minimal flavor and heavily depended on the tartar sauce. Needed lemon slices to cut through the heaviness. *Oysters: boy did I get a beat up bunch. The oysters were shucked inconsistently, shown by the cut up presentation of some shells. While the first 6 looked poor, the following 6 were abysmal. Didn't taste fresh and I had to use the cocktail sauce to wash it down. Yes the prices were good and the service was stellar but wow was the seafood underwhelming. The cocktail options were fun but I don't plan on returning unless the fried seafood starts focusing on the "seafood" component instead of the "fried". Was not so happy with the oysters and I wouldn't even pay $1.50 for the ones I got, let alone full price. read more

Ok, first off.....these hushpuppies are absolutely insanely delicious! No seafood meal is complete without hushpuppies and these little appetizers here are off-the-wall incredible. I'm not sure what flavoring they use but nice crunch on the outside with all the spice flavoring in the middle. I could have eaten a meal of these by themselves. Ordered crab, shrimp, lobster....basically the works. First time having a seafood boil. It was a unforgettable experience with the bibs and diving right into the seafood. The gloves feel huge so maybe bring some rubber bands to hold them onto your own hand or bring your own gloves because I kept having to readjust my gloves while I ate. The flavoring was great on the crab, shrimp, and lobster but I found that the seasoning just didn't soak into the food as I would have expected, I kept having to search for more sauce to add to the meal. Not a cheap meal but unique and fun. Waiter was friendly and gave some good tips on how to go about eating the seafood boil. read more

Got a medium spice house blend of shrimp and sausages with a side of rice. The picture I took doesn't do the food justice. Food was delicious. It was packed with the right balance of flavors with a good kick. Service was also great and food came out fast. We came on a Friday evening and I think we just beat the rush because we got seated right away but literally in 30 minutes, the restaurant completely filled up. I think this place is definitely chill, but the energy with the guests and staff are great. I would recommend trying this place out! read more

This used to be my favorite spot until recently, ordered shrimp to go which I've done numerous of times with no issues, i ordered food and I get home and my shrimp is beyond over cooked it wouldn't peel and was dry! So I called in and the manger tells me to bring it in so I bring in my bag with the shrimp and the shrimp I couldn't peel in separate bag this man opens my bags examines the food and tells me well I can only replace 4 shrimp like wtf weirdo your examining my bag as if I'm lying and wanted to waste my time driving back here during the night for you to offer me 4 shrimp when I paid over 20!?? When I refuse the 4 shrimp he gives me a 10 dollar gift card ... TERRIBLE customer service with a terrible manager with no manger skills whatsoever read more

Great service from start to finish!!!! All stars for sure. Our waiter was super friendly and patient. The restaurant is clean and we love the design. We ordered frozen margaritas which for some reason have been hard to find in Arizona (where it's hot most of the time) ‍ Anyway, drinks were delicious and we ordered one cajun fry and one lemon pepper fry w/ a catfish basket and lb of crab! All were top notch, flavorful, and definitely leave you wanting more. They even gave a military discount which was super thoughtful. The food here is worth the drive and stands from the rest! Someone's granny is this kitchen lol! Thank you LA Crab and we will definitely be returning soon! read more

Phil is the absolute BEST! I don't usually write reviews, but Phil at La Crab Shack absolutely deserves a standing ovation. From the moment we walked in, he greeted us with the warmest smile and made us feel like family. His knowledge of the menu was next-level, and his recommendations? Spot. On. The crab boil he suggested was perfection -- packed with flavor, fresh, and cooked to absolute buttery brilliance. Phil's energy and attention to detail made the entire dining experience unforgettable. He checked on us often without being overbearing, cracked jokes that had us laughing, and even made sure we got extra napkins when things got (deliciously) messy. If you're going to La Crab Shack and you're lucky enough to have Phil as your server -- you're in for a 5-star experience. He's the real MVP! read more

Food was okay. Order headless shrimp. Became sick to my stomach for the remainder of the night, and entire next day. Finally, decided to share this with their phone team was a apologetic. The manager PHIL however, told me "I'll keep this in consideration..... Is there anything else I can do for you?" I replied "you haven't done anything for me." He then told me to have a goodnight and hung up the phone! Very poor rating here. read more
