Terrible food, however staff was very friendly and accommodating. Catfish made me loose my appetite.

We tried the Phoenix location for my daughters 18th Birthday dinner and were excited for an Angry Crab to open up in our Litchfield backyard. Our waiter, Caleb, was awesome. Pound of shrimp and catfish pretty good, but my wife made the mistake of ordering the chicken strips. WTF? They battered my catfish to near perfection, but decided they couldn't manage to batter a chicken tender!! Obviously frozen. Terrible. Caleb tried to get the chicken taken off the bill, but the manager apparently thought we were just full of shit, I guess. We will probably come back for lack of options for good shrimp and crab around these parts. But we now know that seafood is he only menu items they care to do right. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Staff is excellent, food is amazing! Quality of the seafood is above par, and I highly recommend it. It's casual dining and they make you feel like you are at home. My cousin and I eat here once a month, faithfully, sometimes twice a month. Customer service is always on point every single time. Get ready to get your hands dirty and definitely wear the bib! You're gonna LOVE IT! read more

Best fresh seafood and atmosphere and reasonably priced. Ask for Kat and Val. Excellent service and cheerful workers who look like they're having a blast working. Definitely will be going back and spreading the word. read more

I have come to this place since day 1 of them opening, I would come almost once a week, but the past three times , it has not been good @ all... the ranch dressing is not the same the seasonings are not the same , and the past couple of times I had ordered #1 spice, and it had been extremely way to spicy and I wasn't able to eat my food... at one point I mentioned it to one of the workers , and she said oh , that must have been when we mixed up our sauces... not even a sorry or anything read more

Angry crab sauce recipe is the best no doubt. We eat almost once a month in this location but I'm giving them this rating for inconsistency. When it's good it's really good. First thing is the rice. I should not have even commented on Yelp but I cannot keep my silence anymore. When we eat here we are hungry and craving but get disappointed everytime the rice served is undercooked. If you guys cook with a rice cooker, all you have to do is measure the cups of uncooked rice then match the water up to the line of the number of cups and press cook. It's that simple! You will have perfectly moist and warm soft rice for your customers. Did you know that serving improperly cooked rice can give you a tummy ache? The same reason why they don't want uncooked rice thrown at weddings anymore because when pigeons eat it they die! Now with the shrimp: when the skin sticks to the meat you know it's either the shrimp is overcooked or not very fresh. Then the mussels: on our last visit the pacific rim sauce was very little and too overseasoned we could not eat it & had to redo it at home. Not that were giving up on you guys but we have faith that you can do better. Seafood is expensive but we're willing to pay as long as it's worth our money. read more

The price is good and the food is amazing had 3 bags of shrimp, crab and an order of chicken tenders

We really likes the angry crab. Service was great and the food as well. I had shrimp p.o.'boy with hush puppies and he had po'boy with buffalo chicken and onion rings. We got a bag of shrimp to go. We will defiantly be back there. read more

Probably deserves 4.5 stars, but I'll round up to five. Pretty dang tasty grub, though I have had better. Pretty reasonable prices and friendly efficient service. read more

Disappointed with the wait at another cajun place (Flavors of Louisiana .. only one person in front of me but I waited more than 5 minutes (!) only to have her tell me when it was finally my turn that I would have to wait an additional 10 minutes for gumbo to be prepared! Crap! That is WAY TOO LONG to have to wait on one little ol' cup of gumbo! Sheesh. I digress. Let's get back to the topic of Angry Crab (Goodyear locale). They saved the day!! I was so Put Out, I half expected to get some bad news when i went in to order but instead, they made me very happy, gave me a sharpie so i could add my name to the graffiti, and made the order in something under 10 mins. Oh! and they made my son some really good drink he loved while we waited. Thanks, AC, for satisfying my strong gumbo craving this afternoon. And for fixing my bad mood. read more

Maybe a bad night tonight but I came in 5mins before close but I didn't leave with my order until 45mins later. Felt bad for the lady before me who was waiting a lot longer, that should've been a hint. Apparently rice was still being cooked and we were both waiting for that. The waiters nearby seemed more concerned with how long I've been waiting for my order than the young kid that actually took my order. He seemed more concerned about doing his sidework and stocking up to go, even though I tipped him. Won't be back to this location :( read more

Amazing seafood in the far west valley - finally!! I had the shrimp in trifecta sauce (medium) with red potatoes and my husband had the Mahi Mahi badket. It was all amazing. The staff is all incredibly friendly (Susie is AWESOME!) the entire visit was fun and filled with the best seafood. 5 star experience. Thank you for bringing this to Goodyear. read more

Absolutely love this place! Amazing food with even better flavor, love that you get to use your hands cause everything comes in a bag! Plus the birthday/celebration vibe is way to fun!!! read more

Well I have to say this place lives up to its reviews. I've never experienced a restaurant like this, but I've had a lot of seafood in my time and this was absolutely delicious! I came with a large group and not a single person left unsatisfied. Our waitress, Gigi, was wonderful. In fact, every server, bartender, etc. that we came across was so friendly. Delicious food, great staff and such a unique, laid back atmosphere...we will be back! read more

Love this location. Bar service can be a titch slow, but the waitstaff is very attentive and on top of things. The food never disappoints. The trifecta sauce is perfect, and I was surprised by how much I liked the sausage. Definitely try the Cajun Bloody Mary as well!! read more

Angry Crab Shack - Damage done! Amazing food - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

I've been here once, I would say the star here is the sauce. I say that because they just throw a bunch of shrimp in a bag whole. You have to un peal the shrimp so it gets pretty messy. Not my favorite place but it was ok, they had some good beer specials. read more

We are long time customers at the Goodyear Angry Crab and I am so disappointed in the slow, steady downhill run of this restaurant. Examples: clam strips were mushy and tasted burnt, ( I can't begin to tell what the gator bites tasted like), the breaded shrimp basket had 6 burnt, dry shrimp, the side of beans was ice cold and the potatoes in the lb. of snow crab were old, hard and tasteless. None of these things is new as this has all happened before, but I hoped it was just the cooks having a bad day. I'm just about through with this place - maybe one more try, but if it isn't right.....hasta la vista, baby. read more

The crew of the Angry Crab made us feel welcomed and service was tremendous. Every water fill, every additional sauces or side orders, no problem. Great staff. Oh, and the food was amazing. We celebrated a birthday with a family of 5 and had such a good time. Free dessert to birthday person. read more

Overall we had a pretty good experience. When we walked in we were met by some snarky comments by the hostess regarding our seating preferences. Thankfully our server Kyle was extra nice and cheered us up with his great service and smile! The food did not dissapoint! We had snow crab legs & Cajun frys. The sauces run on the spicy side but Kyle warned us of that, which we appreciated. We'll go back again, I'm sure. Hopefully the greeting we get from the hostess will be more welcoming next time. read more

Smaller version of Joe's Crab Shack! My husband ordered the Dungeness crab. When he got it it was the whole crab including the shell. Hey at least Joes has crab that's halfway cleaned so your not paying for a lot of uneatable waste. Flavor was ok but not what I expected. The atmosphere is very graffiti like and very loud. Not me at all. read more

First time here and my first time trying crab. Our waitress was extremely nice and helpful. Service is pretty prompt and food is tasty for anyone wanting to eat seafood, everything tastes pretty fresh. With the crab we got the trifecta sauce at number 3 which wasnt spicy at all anyone who likes spicy i would say go for the number 5. read more

The food was delicious. Only thing that could use some improvement, would be for the seafood to have a bit more extra sauce. Yes you can add extra for an extra charge. But over all very yummy food! read more

So overpriced! The food was fine, but it doesn't rival amazing. It is very messy and the waitress didn't offer us gloves like they did other tables. It would have been nice to not smell for days afterwards. The bill for two was almost $100 read more

My friend and I went here for our birthday lunch on a weekday. It wasn't crowded at all. Maybe no one wants to get really messy and smelly... then, go back to work. The host/server was Jake. He provided excellent service! Definitely ask for him. We ordered the hush puppies, two pounds of Dungeness crab, one pound of shrimp, four sausages, two corns and two potatoes. We did the trifecta and medium hot. Everything was delicious! Jake even cracked the crab for us. It's a fun experience to fight for your food! Literally! And, for dessert we had the cheesecake and bourbon pecan pie. Delicious! And, the bonus - you consume enough garlic to ward off vampires! I would recommend Angry Crab Shack. read more

Had the best time at Angry Crab but I've never had great service until Steph helped us out. She was great, I'll be back again because of steph and hope to get her as my waitress again!! Lovely time! Thanks steph! read more

Holy yum!! We went on NYE and it was amazing! I ordered the snow crab and the clams. I will never go to Joe's Crab Shack ever again. This is my #1 Crab place! read more

This place has it all for a restaurant. Ambiance, customer service and great food. I recommend the alligator nuggets as an appetizer (the sauce served with it is like crack) I have had the shrimp and lobster from here and both have been delicious. I ordered the Cajun and medium, but the trifecta is great too! This was my first time ordering a drink from the bar and hands down their peach mule is in my top 5 drinks. Lastly, our server Tami was very attentive, sweet and overall provided great service!! Will be returning again! read more

Oh my belly! Food was just fantastic! Had king crab, mussels, some of the wife's snow crab, sausage, corn, and potatoes. Everything was so delicious, piping hot! The atmosphere was perfect, the service was above and beyond. Ask for Trey, the fella was on top of it, but so was everyone else. All kinds of people stopped by, even the hostess twice. Loved it, give it a whirl. read more

First time to the Angry Crab. The food is very good...spicy and flavorful. Good portion size for the cost, so I consider it a good value. Don't go if you want a quiet setting. It is loud and vibrant. I was a little taken back by that, but the food was worth the noise. We will return when we get the itch to have some seafood. The hush puppies are great. read more

My favorite seafood place in Phoenix. Have been following them since they opened in Mesa, then to Phoenix, Peoria, and finally Goodyear! I love they are 5 min from my house now. Have never had a bad experience in any of their locations. Always get 2 lbs clams / lemon pepper and garlic / 0 spice and 1 lb of snow crabs, same seasoning. I rave about this place often, and those I've sent there have never been disappointed. Always delicious. read more

Food was very good, service staff attentive and on the ball, crab bag I had was REALLY TASTY!!! Tried a little of the catfish and the coating was very good! Monday is a good day to since you can sample a couple of items for $20 in the bag! Just remember to wear the bib! read more

Very unfriendly service, felt rushed and unwelcome. Ordered dozen chard oysters they were served barely cooked cold. We sent them back. We ordered trifecta shrimp and veggies all the spices were like a big lump inside the bag. Manager needs to ensure proper service is rendered and food is prepared properly. read more

I LOVE this place. First we get there around 830 pm on a Sunday so we expected a wait, it really didn't take that long. I love that they text you when your table is ready. Our server was awesome and at one point the manager even came by the table to check on everyone and make sure nothing else was needed. We ordered 3 lbs of shrimp 3 sausages and 1 corn on the cob. OMG it was delicious we got the trifecta sauce medium and it was perfect! read more

Disappointed. I used to love this place but man has it gone down hill fast. Last night my headband and I ate here. They were not very busy and only maybe half the tables were seated but still service was extremely poor. Had to ask 2 or 3 times for things we ordered. Crab arrived on the table with no scissors or crackers. My crab was not cooked and was cold when they brought it to the table. I sent it back to finish cooking. Didn't bother to take it off the bill or offer us anything for such an extremely poor meal. Wont come back to this one that's for sure. read more

Had the lobster roll ($14). Decent size filling on two split top buns. However, it should have been called "fake crab roll with a few tiny pieces of lobster". 90% of the filling seemed to be fake crab, with only a few small pieces of lobster mixed in. read more

Dress down and get down with some traditional Gulf Coast seafood. They bring all the best of southern cooking and style to this place. There ain't nuttin like dis place. read more

We walked into the Angry Crab Shack for the first time and were greeted by annoying loud music and knew right away the place may not be for us. The décor is casual, seating is not terribly comfy but OK for dining. The service was helpful and cheerful. My husband fried cod and fries were delicious as were my frog legs and sweet potato fries. The mayo accompanying my frog legs was flavorless and the requested garlic butter was replaced by flavored rancid oil. Not a good substitute! Their fish batter is greasier than other restaurants we have sponsored. We could not see anything green on the menu. Any reason for that? If the Angry Crab wishes to expand its clientele beyond the greasy and fried loving crowd, and attract older customers, they should serve some of the food on plates with regular utensils. It is difficult to cut a crab leg with a tiny plastic knife and fork in a small plastic basket. Getting our hands greasy is not appealing to some of us. Salads would be a welcomed addition to the menu. The Velvet Cheese Cake was commercially made and basically consists of flavored and colored lard. Bland and unhealthy! I think the Angry Crab Shack has a lot of potential if they continue to serve good fried fish that appeals to a certain crowd but the food presentation and the absence of healthier options does not agree with us and for that reason, we would not go back. read more

Excellent service, great place and they do fish right! Cornmeal not battered. Go see them. Conrad knows customer service

Well this used to be our favorite seafood place, the food is still good but service is so terrible I can't understand what their management is doing. We did have a server that was quite pleasant but looked like he was overwhelmed. Had to ask several times for parts of our orders that were missing. Sad thing Is that restaurant wasn't ever crowded. Manager did come over but he looked frazzled and stated that orders come out at different times however we saw our food setting on window for 10 minutes before we asked our server again. read more

Snow crab! Shrimp! Catfish! All of it is crazy good. I don't know what Matt's position is but he has the best attitude. I eat at all the locations frequently. I love it! read more
