Hands down the best Cajan/ Creole in the the valley. Colossal shrimp in their house blend season doesn't disappoint. When you're looking for flavor look no further. read more

After ten minutes of waiting at our table with NO service....not even drinks. Me and my family left. SMH terrible customer service.

Friendly service. Quick service. And we bisited on Valentines day. Food is delicious! Shrimp are huge! I would highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

I tried this spot for the first time yesterday. I ordered the calamari to go. I asked the girl at the counter the amount& she showed me the size of the box, I was happy with getting what I paid for ($9) for 1 order. After getting the to go box I was not pleased to see the box had very little calamari actually in it, it was good definitely but not enough for the price paid. The service was good and fast so that's a plus, but the portions just are not there for me read more

I love this place, I'm a frequent customer here. I'm here so much the waitress automatically knows what I will order. The owner is a very friendly guy he always makes his way to speak to me and my girlfriend every time we come here. Now as for the food "EXCEPTIONALLY DELICIOUS"! The shrimp and crawfish in garlic butter HOT Sauce is my favorite! Honestly all the broiled seafood here is really delicious. I was a hot and juicy customer not anymore since I found this gem of a place to eat! I will always be a die hard LA CRAB SHACK CUSTOMER! read more

My favorite place! It's so affordable and by far the most delicious crab restaurant I've gone to. I've always loved angry crab but this place beats that. I've recommended it to my friends and they all agree! Super cheap drinks and awesome group style prices. Customer service is awesome also. Our food was brought out to us literally 10 minutes after ordering. read more

Very similar to Angry Crab. Went on Easter for dinner and it was not crowded at all. Not sure if people just don't know about this place yet or what, but we really liked it! It's the same concept where you order #lbs of seafood and peel/crack at your table. What we liked better than AC was the combos they offered. We got combo D which had two lbs of shrimp, one lb of snowcrab, one lb of mussels, and corn, sausage, and potatoes - all for $50! Another positive: the seasoning in the seafood isn't as oily as AC so we didn't feel super full and greasy after eating all that. I would just want a little more flavor in the seasoning. We'll definitely be back! read more

Wow. Excellent and reasonably priced seafood. Large bowl of gumbo for$6 almost a meal itself! Place is great! read more

The service is great and the food is outstanding. The prices are reasonable, and they often have specials. I love coming here.

Ughhh so bad .. I am an avid sea food lover . My usual go to is angry crab shack and we decided to try this place and very disappointed . We ordered the shrimp basket for an appetizer I will admit this was delicious. Then for dinner we got king crab which we were shocked was very fairly priced . However we found out very quickly why it must be priced so low. It was awful . The crab already had slits in it and the shells were mushy and so soft , I don't know about you but I like to "crack" my crab. The crab tasted "fishy" and had what I call "blowouts" inside which is a buildup of nasty white creamy stuff when crab gets freezer burnt or is cheaper wholesale crab. And for just me and my bf it was 75$!!! I get it it's sea food but holy crap ... won't be back. Service was incredibly slow too. read more

Crab was awesome never tasted something so good in my life! Service was very good and they could really relate to the customers, our server gave great recommendations. Crab was seasoned to perfection and the house sauce was excellent. The alligator was very good and was off the hook! Very filling and would recommend to anybody even if you're allergic to sea food because it's to die for lol. read more

LA Crab Shack - GOOD COSTUMER SERVICE.GOOD FOOD ,FRESH SEA FOOD. I WILL RECOMMEND IT - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Great customer service. They gave me the wrong order but they called right away to let me know that I got the wrong one. Since I was close to home already when I realized they have been trying to get hold of me, they rectified the situation by letting me keep the order that was given to me by mistake and gave me my actual order which was 4 lbs of shrimp! The mistake was a blessing in disguise because my husband and I do not really like crawfish at all but their crawfish was really juicy and tasty! And we got to try their clams which my daughter loved with some corn, sausage and potatoes too! Their house blend is not as greasy as the other place we used to go to. We will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely phenomenal food & service. Kendall was my waiter and he killed it. Honestly I don't have a bad thing to say about this place. The craw fish was definitely a strong 8/10 the shrimp was a 7/10 and the sausage was a strong 10/10. Kendall made the entire experience excellent, from the second I walked in the door until the second I walked out. I work in the hospitality industry and guys like Kendall are the guys we search for everyday. Kudos LA Crab Shack, I will definitely return!! read more

This is my first time eating at this place. I love the food. Especially seafood!!! hand down this place is way better than angry crab. Their house blend sauce is amazing. Staff is really nice. The owner is very friendly. Their price is actually not that expensive. If you like seafood you should give this place a try. You'll love it read more

LA Crab Shack - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The service was good, however the food was not amazing. We ordered a combo from the menu, which consisted of crab, mussels, shrimp and the corn, sausage, and potatoes for sides. The whole bag of food was completely over cooked and mushy. read more

This place beats angry crab! Definitely try the house blend sause it goes great with anything on the menu. Great customer service! Even the chef stopped by our table to make shore our meal aas delish. read more

I don't know if I should say this but better then Hot N Juicy!! Their mixed flavor for the crab was great, next time I go I'll ask for more juice with the crab. Their catfish was good and the people were very welcoming! read more

Went for dinner last night, my family enjoyed it, food was really good and fresh! Service was great, will most def be back

If you're from California & you're looking for something similar to Boiling Crab, or the Kickin' Crab, this is the closest you'll get. Great happy hour. The food is always good. read more

Love the food, love the service and love the ambience of this place!!! Will come here before ever going to Angry Crab!!!

It's legit! The shrimp are huge, the combo bags are amazing bc it gives you variety. I did the mild with house blend and it was a little on the sweet side but enjoyable. The kids got shrimp baskets they were good as well! read more

This place is most definitely the one to choose if you want delicious, friendly and fast service. The house blend is better than anything Angry Crab has to offer. Not to mention you are greeted and seated by friendly staff who seem to want to go above and beyond for their customers. I was obsessed with angry crab for the last three years but my husband and I have found ourselves at LA Crab Shack more and more through the months and leaving as very satisfied customers! Love the vibe and the oysters are fresh!!!! No complaints here! :-) read more

We ate here at recommendation of a friend. Service was sub par. Waiter greeted us and said I'll come back and get your drink order. 10 mins later he came back and apologized and said "I was doing something and forgot!" Wait what? We were his only table! I ordered ice tea and they didn't have sweetener. What restaurant doesn't have sweetener? My husband ordered Fat Tire. Waiter came back and said they were out. Ordered a pound of shrimp w corn. Shrimp arrived w no corn. My husband ordered fried shrimp and fries. He said it was okay. Not great. I don't know how this place will survive. So sorry we didn't go to Angry Crab!! Lesson learned. read more

Good customer service & excellent Seafood! All the staff had face mask on. We will come again

Great food, fast and fresh! The catfish was seasoned well and the fries are great! Hush puppies were also amazing I would recommend this place to all people who have a craving for seafood! I will definitely be back to this place! I can't decide which is better from the many comparisons from here and angry crab!!! They are both yummy! read more

Decided to pay this place a visit as I was in the mood for seafood. Similar concept to that of a regular seafood boil. Decided to try there combo special as yelp had a coupon for a seafood sampler with purchase of the combo platter. Consisted of 1 lb of shrimp, 2 lb of crawfish, and 6 clams. You get to choose your own sauces, but downside of the two sauces chosen was filled with garlic and a bit spicy for medium, more or less tasted like hot (trust me I have a palette for spicy food, but this was way too spicy). Received the sampler it was good nothing special about it though the hush puppies were great. Now when we received our combo, I realized they put all the seafood in one bag and didn't separate them out as we asked. Wasn't a problem though as they accommodated us with another fresh batch of the flavors asked. As mentioned, the two sauces chosen were filled with too much garlic, but one flavor was really good called "sate" which consisted of Asian flavors such as lemon grass. Overall the food was okay, nothing exciting that you can't try from another seafood boil. I would come back again but only to try the sate flavor, which was phenomenal. Owner was nice, give this place a try to support local businesses. They just opened a little over 3 weeks ago. read more

I don't like seafood but my girl does so I decided to check this place out with her. All I had was the hush puppies which were plain but not bad at all, maybe if I had put some ketchup on them they would have tasted even better. They tasted like potato balls. I liked that they cook them in a different oil than they cook the seafood. I'm a vegeterian and I don't eat seafood so that was definentely appreciated. I asked our server, Kayla, if the oil was different and she informed me it was after she asked the chef for us. My girl had cajun shrimp, potatoes and corn on the cob. She said she loved it and enjoyed it more than angry crab. I like how this place isn't as packed as angry crab but it does have a similiar vibe\look to it. Great local spot that I see my girl wanting to come back to plenty of times in the future. Kayla was amazing as a server. Her customer service skills really made our visit as awesome as possible. She kept communication with us throughout our whole visit and gave us extra sauce when we asked for it. The houseblend cajun is the best according to my girl so make sure you get that one. She tried the other one and didn't like it. I liked how the chef was asking everyone how the food was and taking everyones feedback into consideration for the future. Good seafood joint! Make sure you ask for Kayla! read more

We brought a party of 8 for dinner on a Friday night. All but one got queasy/sick, and one had all-out food poisoning complete with diarrhea and vomiting after we ate here. We had the seafood appetizer that came with a yelp check in, oysters, crawfish, crab, shrimp, fries, even chicken tenders and seafood gumbo (which by the way came out room temperature- not even warm!). Their flavorings is nothing like Louisiana style cajun seafood....but more like the style of Angry Crab or Hot n Juicy (which both taste better and we never got sick after eating at those establishments.) I'm so disappointed that we all got sick. :-( I really wanted to like this place). When I get the courage to, I'll come back again. 2 stars for the decor and waitstaff. If not for that, I'd give 0. You don't pay money to get sick. Blegh. read more

This place is a big rip off I got the crAb legs and there was hardly no meat in them Employees were nice we won't be back what a rip off

This place will not disappoint. The seafood is fresh and their house boil combination is freaking delicious. I haven't been to the angry crab but the bf has and he said LA was way better. I loved it, fun atmosphere. Prepare to get messy! read more

Been coming here to order our colossal shrimp for 1lb. It seems this time we had fewer numbers of shrimp in our order - not like our previous order in the past, and as a matter of fact we got bigger size of shrimps with more in quantity last time, than today which we had more smaller size of shrimps. Not sure if our amount of cash tip matters with the quantity of the shrimps we ordered. We are just disappointed read more

Got there was seated immediately that's the one star. Upon seated waiter came took my drink order. Came back with only one of the drinks ordered. Stated she didn't hear the sprite but as we ordered it she wrote it down. Then when we received food (she brought chicken strip) which we did not order. We ordered a shrimp basket and a cat fish basket with LEMON PEPPER FRIES for both. She apologized and took it away. She brought the food we ordered but none of the baskets had lemon pepper fries. We pointed it out to her. she again apologized and asked if she could bring lemon pepper seasoning. I agreed. The manager of the establishment came out and looked at our baskets and told us that when they were cooked the lemon pepper disintegrated into the grease. I kindly gave him the basket and had him look for himself. No lemon pepper whatsoever on any fries. He said he could bring lemon pepper( which was already suppose to be brought) and I said fine. The waiter was terrible the food terrible. The breading was coming off of the fish and shrimp so easily. The taste mediocre. I will not go back. Nothing like boiling crab just a knock off whatever you want to call it. read more

Quality of the shrimp was good and the sauce tasted great without being overly salty.

Omg! Where do I begin? Great great great food and beautiful ambiance. Service is exceptional

I ask the waitress if my shrimp was fresh, NO. The only thing that is fresh was the crawfish when it's in season. Everything else is processed and frozen. Screwed my expectations and my dinner all up. I can do frozen food at home and save $30.00 read more

LA Crab Shack - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We've eaten here 4 times and it's been great every time! The po' boy is the closest to New Orleans I e had in AZ and the seafood boil is way better than Angry Crab (plus less expensive). And the lemon pepper fries are next level! The only thing wrong is how criminally empty it is! Why aren't more people eating here? If you like Cajun and seafood, this is a must try! read more

We ordered a combo with 2lbs crawfish, shrimps and clams and also Hush puppies. The hush puppies were hot on the outside but cold in the center so the waiter had them re-fried for us. The taste is good. However, we were not happy with the seafood itself. The crawfish was not frozen but definitely tasted like they were not fresh so are the shrimps and clam. I love seafood and I usually eat a ton of them. However, we left almost a pound worth of food left. The sauce is ok...could be better. We probably won't go back again. read more
