    Clam chowder
    Lorin C.

    Wow. Great restaurant. Love the whole vibe of this one. Our Waiter Ian was excellent. Their clam chowder is delicious. As well as their calamari, fried pickles and shrimp. Next time I'll will try some crab or lobster.

    Angry Crab Shack - Grand Opening Review 7019 N Mesa St, El Paso, TX 79912 We checked out the grand opening of Angry Crab Shack on the Westside, hoping for seafood magic and some spice to match the summer heat. Spoiler alert: the only thing boiling was us. At this point, A.C. in Angry Crab might as well stand for Air Conditioning-less. --- The Good: Live Wing-Eating Competition: Shout-out to the firefighters who dominated! Super fun to watch and brought great energy to the event. Renovated Interior: The space looks completely different from when it was Weck's. Bright, lively, and a new seafood tank installed (more on that later). Friendly & Attentive Service: Our server (formerly of Lola Rose!) was fantastic. She handled everything with grace, including a kid-caused water spill, and gave great menu recs. Kid-Friendly Staff: Quick refills, fast reactions, and patience all around--big plus when dining with littles. Reasonable Prices: For a seafood-focused restaurant, the prices weren't bad at all. --- The Not-So-Great: Seafood Tank Situation: The tank was... questionable. It's a cool idea to show live seafood, but it was oddly dirty--especially for a grand opening. Kind of kills the "fresh" vibe. Stifling Heat: Our section was roasting. The AC couldn't keep up with the crowd, and it made the dining experience tough. We ate quickly, packed up the rest, and bolted after the wing competition. Food Quality (So Far): Wings: My husband said they were just "meh". Gumbo: This was the house special, made fresh daily--but flavor-wise, it fell flat. It was bland at the restaurant and still bland reheated the next day. The garlic bread was a nice touch, and the portion was big, but we expected more from a chain that should have its recipes dialed in. --- Final Thoughts: We really wanted to love this place--especially since it's so close to home. But the grand opening felt like a rough draft. Hopefully, it was just growing pains, and once the AC gets fixed and the kitchen finds its groove, the crab boils and entrees will be worth a return trip. We'll be back to try the actual boils once things cool down...literally and figuratively.

    I'm super excited we have a great crab spot off mesa! Everything from the ambiance, service, to the food was amazing! As soon as we walked in the staff quickly greeted us and made us feel welcomed! They made sure to ask if it was our first time there and made us feel comfortable and guided us the whole way. We ordered a couple of appetizers and everything was really good. The shrimp boil was so perfect, I'm picky when it comes to shrimp- but these were big juicy and tasty! The trifecta seasoning at level 2 spice was the perfect combination. Our server let us know which spice level had ghost pepper so we could avoid it being too spicy. Will definitely be coming back again!!

    Crab and shrimp boil

    The best seafood boil in El Paso! Reasonably priced and great service. The vibes in the restaurant felt like you were close to the beach! Definitely will be coming back

    The claims were good. The lobster roll? Not so much. That's all I've tried so it's a limited review

    The service was very helpful but not pushy, and the food was very good and a different style from what we might ordinarily enjoy in El Paso.

    Fresh oysters !!! Shipped every 2 days!! They get shucked right in front of you at the bar seating…read moreand they are so yummy!!! NOT grimey !!! Also had the crudo (salmon, tuna, scallops) with the soft delicious bread. The deviled eggs were good too. Truth be told I came for the oysters tho- a variety of easy and west coast options. You would never think downtown El Paso would have a spot like this but I'm glad they do!! It's a great place to pregame before a chihuahuas game!

    Happiness is a dozen oysters and good company…read more Pearl Divers is a very spacious, bright and welcoming establishment with some of the best oysters, staff and menu options! Cocktails are uniquely crafted, the ambiance pulls you right in and the bar is probably the best place to be! It's very clean as well! They have a good range of an oyster selection with great pairings, something for everyone at the table! I was so happy to see Crystals hot sauce again! I'm a dirty martini girl and of course I'd recommend blue cheese stuffed olives! The fries were crispy, hot and served as a nice sized portion as a shareable. Customer service is 10/10, very attentive, kind and knowledgeable on the menu items and engagement with guests. I've had the opportunity to visit twice and this will be one of my frequent regular visits while here in El Paso! As they say, the world is your oyster--and this place serves some of the best pearls of the sea I've had."
