Reviews for Angry Crab Shack in Phoenix, AZ
Food is very good. They forgot to put my side of rice in bag but it?s cool. Food is 10 out of 10 and I would go back. I feel... like the catfish basket should come with 2 piece fish. Read more
I don?t know where to begin with my experience (1st timer) it was deliciously good. The Bartender/Server Katie M was awesome. I... told her this was my first time & she help me with a menu selection. Then there?s Will the Maintenance/ Good conversation guywho also made my experience great. I?ll definitely be back. 5 ?? Read more
We hadn't been here for awhile and arrived for a late dinner. 8:45pm. The hostess was pleasant and we were seated right away.... The server seemed to be having an off night. She seemed annoyed we had questions about the menu. For the food I'm would avoidordering clams. Mostly we received clam shells, with no clam meat. Naked shrimp with their garlic sauce was great. Dinner wasabout 45 per person , including 1 beer each. Might try a different location and see if it is any better. Read more
In the mood for seafood so tried close to home Angry Crab. Fun interior where everyone can mark on the walls, family-friendly,... reasonably priced & varied menu. Cute descriptions for seafood sauces, etc. (judge for yourself on pic) from "ridiculously hot"to "Me no likey-spicey". Crowded, so we advise you go early. Loud atmosphere but friendly ambiance. Slow service so plan toallow for time to visit when you go. Seafood choices were okay, not spectacular, but as it was modestly priced & casual, noissue for us. Probably won't return anytime soon.

The smells from outside bring you in and the atmosphere brought me to the coast with the essence of the sea. The service was a... little slow this day but it was also busy. The food came out great and the shrimp was not over cooked. All prices are marketprice and are not listed so be sure to ask what the prices are. Lots of other selections on the menu to try in the future.Definitely a filling and heavy meal. Read more
We decided to kick off 2022 with a visit to the Angry Crab Shack home of pick your own spice seafood boils, po'boy sandwiches,... lobster rolls, and, of course, crab legs! They have a fun graffiti type of decor with a centralized bar serving craft beers andcocktails. They also have a kid friendly menu, but overall, seafood is pretty expensive. So you order your steamed bags spicedthe way you like and dump it on the table, which can get a little messy, thank goodness for the bibs, and gloves! It's a funplace, and the seafood is great. What more could you want besides more paper towels and another beer! Read more
We asked for the cheapest crab meal, the waitress mixed up the menu items and seemed to be confused about weight. But we went... ahead with her suggestion and ended up being charged about double what we were expecting to pay based off the menu price. Thewaitress and manager blamed us for not being specific enough with our order and for eating the food anyway despite it beingwrong. We don't work there and we didn't know that when we ask for the cheapest option, we wouldn't be given the cheapest optionand we also didn't know that when the waitress said it would weigh a little under a pound, she meant a little under two pounds.I don't think customers should be expected to know the menu better than the staff knows it. They gave us only a few dollars offour meal and we still had to pay for about double what we thought we were asking for. We were treated poorly and humiliated infront of others. I have never had a restaurant mix up my order, blame me, and still hand me the bill. This review does notviolate Google's policy in any way. I expect this review to be posted and remain up. I have attached a photo of my receipt asproof of my order on 9/3/2021. Read more
I was excited to try this restaurant because many of the reviews were positive. But I believe the positive reviews are only for... the fresh fish. My husband and I chose to have the crab cake sandwich, fish-and-chips and the sampler as the appetizer. Itseems to me that the restaurant is using old or very dirty oil as all of the fried items all had the same color, the same tasteand was served to us burned. I would never serve food like this to anyone, anywhere, ever! The fries that were served weresupposed to be Cajun fries, and they tasted just like dirty oil with salt on it. Nothing cajun about it. The Cole slaw seemedto come from right out of a salad bag with no taste, no flavoring whatsoever. The crab cake was so dark bordering on black andmy husband said he didn't taste any crab at all. It's possible there was crab in that crab cake but because it was likely cookedin the same oil as all the other food, it was burned, had no flavor, and the crab was indistinguishable within thesandwich. We came in after the lunch hour and before the dinner hour. There were 3 other customers in the restaurant while wewere there. There was no reason, absolutely none whatsoever, why we should have been served food that looked and tasted likethis. The server Liz was very attentive, got our items to us, and checked in on us, but she did forget to give us water. Theone star was for the good music, but we would not visit again. We spent over $50 for the meal, not including tip. Now we knowwhy it's called the Angry Crab- you most certainly do leave angry! Read more
