It's a Five If you have ever driven past the Angry Crab Shack,  I am certain you noticed the packed parking lot and smelled the amazing aroma in the air. So, if you enjoy seafood, like I do, then Angry Crab Shack is calling your name.  Angry Crab Shack gives new meaning to the word casual. The formica topped tables are covered with white butcher paper, people eat with their hands, and writing on the walls is not only allowed, it's encouraged. Angry Crab Shack is top notch and serves some of the best seafood Arizona has to offer. Sure, one could argue that Coastal towns may have better seafood, but Angry Crab Shack can definitely hold their own. On my first visit, our server explained everything to us and gave suggestions based on our preferences.  Your entree comes out as it's ready instead of all together. Angry Crab Shack has a team restaurant philosophy, food is delivered by the first person closest to the kitchen when the food is ready.  Initially, there was some confusion among the servers. Our table was delivered a basket of cornbread,  which I thought was complimentary, however,  it was for the table behind us (found that out after eating the basket) and for the record the corn bread was delicious. I enjoyed ordering off Angry Crab's Menu. You pick your main course, which is sold by the pound. Then you pick your sauce, next you choose how spicy you want your entrée . The boil bag is brought to your table and everything is finger food. That's right, no utensils. You even get a rock to bash your crustaceans.  Thankfully a plastic bib is given and be sure to wear your bib, because you will need it. The prices are reasonable and food is very good. You should give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Was looking for a good time to give this place a try and lunch with the old man was it. We stopped in for lunch and had a very good experience. The staff was very friendly and the food was very good. My father had the catfish with fries and I had the cod po' boy with fries. Both entrees tasted as one would expect. The entrees were good and the prices at $8 and $9 were very favorable. The side of fries were some of the best fries I have enjoyed with wonderful seasoning. We also ordered a side of hush puppies and they were tasty. For dessert, we tried the red velvet cheesecake, which was awesome. A visit in the future will be in order. On a side note, I like that they place your beverage in a to go cup so one can take a refill for the road. Nice touch. read more

We went for my grand daughter's birthday. Food came out one by one. Excuse is it is Saturday. My dinner came so late I had it packaged to go. Birthday cake sent home. Manager made some adjustments, but my grand daughter cried over it. read more

This place is so good!!! The food is a little pricey but it's to be expected considering it's seafood. My only recommendation is if you plan on ordering online do it on the angry crab website instead of ordering it through Yelp. It was a lot faster through the website plus you get text alerts and can do curbside pickup when ordering on their actual website read more

Love the options and boy is this place good. My only gripe is when the bills comes. Yes it's a bit pricey, but worth it.

How awesome is it, that this small chain of seafood (bayou inspired) restaurants is Arizona based? It's made even more awesome by the fact that they support local brewers and the Arizona Distilling Company! More on those facts later... Once again, my girlfriend made a suggestion I couldn't refuse. We decided to grab lunch at the newest Angry Crab location in Goodyear. I've heard others talking favorably about this chain and I'm always down for sea food! Sitting at the bar is one of our favorite things to do because the service tends to be a little better. Tracey took good care of us, was extremely friendly and made some great suggestions, including desert. A couple draft beers (a Kilt Lifter and a Purple Haze) paired very well with our entrees. We chose a pound of mussels and a pound of snow crab with their Tri-Fecta sauce and medium heat. Wow! They don't mess around with the spices! Love the garlic! Throw in some potatoes and sausage and prepare to get a little messy! Some people may be turned off by the idea of being served in a bag and having to work for your food. But if you're dining with the right person, and you know how to break down a lobster, it can be more fun than you realize. There's an intangible about dining like this because you're focused on the task, you're chatting, and you're constantly sharing the treasure you pried from the shell with your company. This was a fun meal! The beer selection is more diverse than the average restaurant. While I would appreciate more local beers, I was happy my favorite from Four Peaks was present. And how about those spirits? They feature a vodka, a gin and a bourbon, all made in Tempe. I'm intrigued and will be looking for the Commerce Gin at my favorite beverage store. Once again, props to the Angry Crab Shack for featuring their products! If you're craving a unique take on seafood, or looking for a fun, casual place, or simply want to explore a menu that features items like gator bites, the Angry Crab Shack needs to be on your radar! read more

The food is mediocre at best service lousy not to mention my daughter nor my wife or son got their food in time my daughter just took hers to go then the way food was served for a boil no bags just a preparation dish bad over all for 480.00 dollars spent will most likely never go back read more

The food was DELISH! Their spices are just perfect, our first time eating seafood boil and thankfully we were not disappointed! Service was great, price was a bit much but also it wasn't fully clear. They were able to fix and accommodate the miscalculation on our ticket. We will definitely be going back once coronavirus let's us be great again! read more

Angrey crab was awesome good service and fast service. Loved the king crab legs and the alligator bites were awsome. read more

The food is good. But the service is terrible. I placed a $200 order over the phone for today. When I arrived, the young man helping me confirm my nice but the woman who charged my card threw my receipt and pen at me to sign. I didn't catch her name, I think it was Jessica but I could be wrong. read more

First off it was an 1 hour 15 min wait for one then they say they are backed up in the kitchen could take another 45 mins then they say they don't have anymore dungeons crab plus no WiFi this place SUCKS #IHadCrabInThe90s and it wasn't this bad read more

My very first time to the angry crab here in Arizona. I'm from the south, in Pensacola, Florida. So for me to find a really good seafood restaurant is very very hard! Especially to trust... Luckily my fiancé and his family have been here many times and so he decided to take me for dinner tonight. I was literally shell shocked, "pun intended", at the amount and the taste of everything! Including the raw oysters which is a very big favorite of mine! Absolutely everything was amazing, I don't think I can stress it enough!!! read more

Angry Crab Shack - This Place Is Amazing!!! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

I decided to give this place a 2nd chance and this time, I was WOWED! The Manager, Andrew was awesome! Very accommodating and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was delicious and the server was great! We will be back for more. The atmosphere was fun and they were busy, but the service and food did not falter because of it and thats because of great Management! Bravo! read more

What a great place! Service was fast and friendly. The food was hot and plentiful. I had fried clams and of course had to complete my meal with the fries and root beer float to support Pheonix Childrens Hospital. Have been here twice in a week! Once for lunch and once for dinner. Each time the food and service were on point. read more

Angry Crab Shack - Be sure to grab these tasty items for a donation to a great facility - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

This place gave me food poisoning! The food was okay, but could've been better. Never coming back here ever again!!!

The food, service, and environment is great, but why does every table only get one pair of scissors, and no seafood forks to break down the crabs legs?!?! We had 6 people ya'll and it really sucked waiting to pass the scissors to get to your food. Our bill was substantial, you can afford them. Val rocked as a server though! read more

This was our first time dining in at angry crab, our experience was awesome. The food was delicious but what made it even better was our server. He was on top of everything! We didn't get his name but he definitely mad our dining experience 5 stars. read more

Angry Crab has the typical look and feel of a crab shack... casual, loud, messy, fun, friendly and you can write on the walls! It can get pretty pricey, but you get what you pay for, esp with seafood... My go to order is a pound of shrimp with Cajun seasoning, corn bread, and bbq beans. Intense feelings of joy. I've also had the fries, fried catfish, and alligator which are super tasty too. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for something different but still delicious! read more

Not what I expected (FLAVOR WISE) -NO WAIT TIME IN MOTHERS DAY! Yay! -Super Nice Servers -Ordered the Trifecta Shrimp and in all honesty it lacked flavor it was very bland! I think that if you have ever gone to Boiling Crab in California nothing else comes close. It was edible but its a flavor I wouldn't crave. A bit disappointed read more

Angry Crab Shack - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

I was excited to see they offer online ordering and placed an order for my parents on Saturday before Father's Day. The time they quote is entirely inaccurate which I get, it's busy there. But they make patrons wait in line outside and if there food is not ready they have to go back outside and stand in line again to wait. On top of that, I added Dungy Cluster to my boil and I did not get it. I tried to call them and they do not answer and I emailed them and no reply. All around awful experience. read more

Have to say I was pretty disappointed. Spent a lot of money and not worth it. The shrimp was mushy and seemed old. I had ordered at the window and took home since they couldn't seat us. Did not feel well after eating read more

The food is good, and the prices are reasonable for seafood especially considering the quality. My biggest issue is the customer service. They fall flat every time. I just don't understand why they can't grasp how to service customers when they are delivering a good product. Their customer service is so bad that I don't even like to dine anymore I always order my food to go, but the last two orders that I placed to go there has been so many issues that could've easily been avoided. There's no one at the front door when you walk in. The employees are socializing and all over the place. The orders get mixed up and no one knows who ordered what. They also leave off things such as sauces utensils napkins and even try to stop all of your food into one small bag. It's just annoying. Management is not too much better. While everyone is friendly, I spoke with a manger when I was served dried out burnt calamari and shrimp. The manager was nice and asked me to com in the following day for a refund and that she would also treat my daughter and I to dinner. She said she would be there all day, but when I arrived the next day she was not there and a man who introduced himself as the general manager was. He said he would give me a refund or food, one or the other which is understandable, but not what Pamela had promised me. I asked for a refund and gave him my card. It took him over 15 min to come back and he had written down my card info and said he would fax it to corporate for a refund. Seriously, all that for a refund? Why should I feel comfortable leaving my card info with them? Very unsafe. Management at this restaurant needs to hire more help and find some more organization so that customers don't see your employees humiliated when they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing. There's no communication among employees and you have a bunch of young people that don't know how to use their skills and their critical thinking to create solutions for customers. I personally feel like if you are a fan of seafood you should give this restaurant to try, but please be prepared and patient as the service is terrible. Also me personally I have to take a break because they have really gotten on my nerves. read more

Was in the area so randomly ordered pick up and what a mistake all I will say is bland bland bland !

Catfish wasn't good. They serve you corn with no butter and a little packet of salt. Tim liked his chowder but the cornbread wasn't good. Service was descent. read more

If you are from the south or have had crawfish in the south, please do not think this is going to be anything like that. This is a West coast interpretation of crawfish. As a native that was born/raised in Louisiana and have enjoyed a many crawfish boils back home, I feel I'm qualified to say that. The pros: nice sized crawfish, cooked well, vast majority of fully intact crawfish, the potatoes were well cooked. Customer service was fast and efficient. The cons: the first bag of crawfish were great but the second bag was full of the little ones that get forgotten in the pot and are pasty in texture bc they are over cooked, the cup of minced garlic that's already lost all flavor in each bag is a bit much, not enough salt, no Cajun/Creole flavor (especially not with the house sauce), mild is more like medium. How to fix: I think their method and flavors are best suited to things other than crawfish. Honestly, it would probably be amazing with their other seafood options. If you get the crawfish, get them plain and bring your own seasoning to dip them in (or bring them home and enjoy). read more

Went there once since we moved here. It's not my style. I like to use a fork and a knife and plates!!! They are a huge plus!!!! read more

The food here was great. Expensive again. But the crawfish was so yummy and juicy and the shrimp was delicious. I got the mild kind of course because I am not gonna go with hot . Mild will do for me. The food overall was great!! They need to have a bide for a take out!! read more

I'm a truck driver based out of Atlanta, Ga. All the years I've been over the road this was the 1st time I ever ate at Angry Crab Shack! I really like the food, the environment & the people here showed me love. Will definitely be coming back again soon when I'm back in the Phoenix area. I would give 5 stars but I don't give out 5 stars just to give out 5 Stars. read more

Shrimp and any seafood in their sauces is great. Trifecta/medium and the cornbread to sop up the spicy buttery juices hubs Loves the gumbo read more

It was our 1st time at the Angry Crab Shack tonight. We sat at the Bar and ordered a Seafood Boil. It was AMAZING! Heather was the bartender and our server, she was terrific. Every one starting with the hostess when we walked in was awesome. The food, taste, all of it was terrific. This was a 1st for me. This is not my norm. Going to a restaurant and not using utensils but gloves, a bib & scissors. it was all great. We had king crab legs, clams, lobster, shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn all at the bar. Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend! read more

Hubby and I got the boil for 2. More than enough food. Super delicious and our waitress Serra was so sweet and attentive. read more

Angry Crab Shack - Boil for 2 - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

Greatest boil around love it they always do an amazing job. I have never had a bad meal

My order of 1lb of shrimp with sausage made me very sick to the stomach. It was very greasy, no flavor at all. I tried it while pregnant and now after a few months of pregnancy and it had the same affect on me. It tasted like a bag of grease. No lemon pepper or anything else. Gross read more

We brought my 6 month old son with us to this family friendly restaurant. It was great to see how accomodating they were for a place to setup the baby at. We had no idea what to order and the waiter gave us great tips and suggestions. We were so suprised at the amount of food we got and our son loved all the flavors too! That was his first chance at seafood which was great! I can't wait to go back! read more

This was some of the worst take out I've ever had! Oysters and clam strips fried to a pulp, hard! On the other hand, fries were soft, mushy! With the exception of the crab legs, all other "hot" food was cold. (We live about 1 mile from this location!) Not at all worth the money we spent, crab alone was $50. We've eaten-in before but quite dissatisfied with the take-out! read more

This was our first time at Angry Crab. I have to say that I really was not impressed. The soft shelled crab was just not very good. The fish and chips were ok, however their tarter sauce is mustard based so it is definitely different than we are used to. The beans and rice was mushy and flavorless. The sweet potato fries were really good, however. The service was acceptable. The waitress explained the menu and checked on us enough, but not too much. All in all it was ok just, not that special. It seemed a bit expensive, 2 small overcooked pieces of fish and fries for $14. I think red lobster would have been a better choice for us. read more

2hr 20 min before the curfew not sitting customers?!?! Yep last time i try to eat at this place.
