    Best Cheesecake

    A local gem! The crew has been here for years and it shows in their friendly, efficient service. The seafood boil bags are phenomenal generous, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Can't imagine the neighborhood without it.

    Me and my boyfriend went here for the first time and we had such a nice time! The staff were very friendly and funny. He got a seafood boil bag with shrimp, crab, and sausage and it was really good! They provide with tools upon request to open any shells/legs you can't with your hands (but he was able to open most with his hands) and their chicken sandwich is DELICIOUS! The bibs and gloves are nice. The lighting is perfect and the music is loud enough to hear, but not overbearing to not hear your tables conversation. AJ provided a lovely first experience and we'll definitely be back :)

    Food was absolutely phenomenal. The seafood was cooked perfectly, crab was not overcooked at all and it was so so sweet. We got the duo combo and they brought out a pint/sauce cup so we could dip our stuff in it and I loved it. The garlic noodles weren't great, especially once they got cold, I did not finish eating it. The sweet potatoes fries weren't great though. The interior is very bar like with a lot of graffiti but as far as I know, all angry crabs have that. They ring a very very loud bell and siren/alarm for birthdays so beware if you don't like loud sudden noises. I'm giving this such a low rating because of our awful server. Heather sat us down and did not make eye contact while we ordered drinks, it was really weird. She kept staring at the tv while talking and would not give us attention. She came back with one of our drinks and never got mine. We waited a whole 15 minutes before our order was taken and it wasn't even our server!!! This kind lady saw me looking around and came over and apologized for the wait and took our orders instead. We didn't get our food for another 30 minutes. The kind lady saw me looking and came on by and said she'll check on our order. She came back and apologized for the wait, they had 2 big parties with over 10 people before us and brought our food fresh from the kitchen. She was amazing. I really hope tips are split amongst all the serving staff because Heather did not deserve one penny of it. Heather checked on us once on how the food was and did not refill waters or drinks, only the other lady did. I should've given it to the kind lady who stepped up.

    I came here twice while in Arizona for a work trip. It was a few minutes from our hotel so it was convenient. Personally, I wasn't a big fan. I thought the food was ok but nothing special for myself. My husband and coworker liked it more than I did. So definitely depends on your food preferences. We got the oysters for an appetizer and those were good. I tried the crab basket the first time and regretted it. It was not tasty. The second time, I tried the scallop bowl which was better, but again, nothing special. My husband tried the snow crab and lobster boils and he liked those.

    The people are nice, but it takes forever for you to get the food. I waited 40 minutes just to get a pound of veggies in the sauce. I didn't even order any seafood and it took 40 minutes for me to get my order when I was originally given a 15 min eta and then when I got my order they missed my side order of rice so I had to wait another five minutes just to get some rice. This happened before a few months ago when I placed it to go order and I waited over an hour just to get the same type of order, but I ended up leaving because it took too long so I tried to give the Place a try again today and regretted it. Food was good though just took forever.

    The service at the bar was great. It was rapid. The food was decent. Nothing special the restaurant smelled bad . It didn't help that I sat by the kitchen.

    Gumbolaya ???
    EL D.

    Oh, this is jambalaya? Fascinating. Legend, our waiter, is absolutely adamant that this brothy bowl is, in fact, jambalaya--despite the fact that it looks, smells, and behaves exactly like gumbo. Having made both dishes myself, I'm genuinely confused as to why my "jambalaya" is practically soup. But hey, maybe Legend has insider knowledge of a brand-new, never-before-seen version of jambalaya that the rest of us just haven't caught up with yet.

    This casual dining spot was the final eatery I visited during my unplanned extra stay in the greater Phoenix area. It was within walking distance of the hotel so I grabbed dinner here. Angry Crab Shack was like a local version of Joe's Crab Shack which is a national chain of seafood restaurants. The interior resembled Joe's with a beach theme decor and a large bar area. Seafood boil bags were the main menu draw. Lots of Southern seafood fare was also available like jambalaya, catfish, and shrimp & grits. I saw some healthy bowls listed which were not typical of a place like this. After asking the bartender about the size of the scallops, he told me they were fairly large. With that response, I asked for a Scallop Bowl as an entree to go with an order of Gumbo as a starter. The Gumbo was a classic Creole stew with shrimp, sausage, crawfish, and rice. It was served in a slanted bowl which made it easier to scoop the contents. The combination had mild spiciness and a hearty flavor. The Scallop Bowl came with vegetables, rice or noodles, and one of seven sauces used for the seafood boil bags. I picked the noodles and Sweet N Tangy sauce. The bartender was accurate as there were six U/10 scallops. The noodles were linguini, and the sauce was more tart than sweet. While the amount of food in the bowl was mediocre, if you were given half a dozen large scallops as I had, then the price tag at a higher end restaurant would have easily exceeded $30. The boiled scallops alone were a great value. The service at the bar was fine, and I gave a four star rating for my dining experience at Angry Crab Shack.

Both pizzas were interesting. The Lichfield Park pizza has pesto sauce and corn on it, as well as cheese, so you might get a slice of that after your "guests" scarf their first helping. You better grab a slice of the Brooklyn pizza right away, though, because it's a traditional-looking pizza with pepperoni and sausage. You won't get a second shot at a slice. You'll get to finish the rest of the "adult" strawberry & bacon salad, though, with spinach instead of lettuce, walnuts, strawberries, and bacon bits. It doesn't come with ranch or even ranch-colored dressing, so they might not risk trying a pinkish salad dressing as a dip for their pizza crust. It's a very good salad and helped my vacation digestion, since I'm not used to the 110° August heat. Papa Paul's Pizza is less than a mile away from my room at the Wigwam. Going there would even be walkable in the summer heat if the fences around the Wigwam had pedestrian gates. As it is, both driveway gates on that corner of the Wigwam are slotted through the perimeter fence far from the place where Papa Pauls and the resort are just across the street from each other. I'm too delicate for a 0.9-mile walk in that much sun. I enjoyed a glass of wine at the bar to rehydrate, though, while I waited for the pizzas to come out of the oven.

I understand some people like that, but I wish they would have lightened up the amount and just have people ask for more if they want that. I ordered the chicken & broccoli alfredo. Sauce was clearly made in house, but the pasta itself was generic and did not taste like it was homemade. Good amount of protein though. We also ordered the mango and classic cannolis, and these stole the show. Flaky to perfection! If we come back, we might try the pizzas to see how it compares to the pasta.

My husband and I had been once before for our anniversary and the food was incredible. Tonight really showed how much heart and love goes into this restaurant when a little boy peaked out from behind the wall & asked if my kids wanted to play with him as we waited to be seated. After making sure it was okay with who I'm assuming is the owner & family of the little boy, my kids went to the table he was at to color and play with him. Everyone was so kind and gracious with my kids, and the little boy Sebastian was the highlight of our night. He was such a sweet kid & the best little host. My kids had a great time with him as we waited for our food. I got the carbonara, my dad got the chicken pesto & my husband got a 3 meat penne. The kids got chicken tender and fries. Each dish was delicious and tasted authentic. The bruschetta dip was amazing. My husband doesn't normally like bruschetta, but how the flavors were balanced had him eating most of it. The bread was perfect, crisp outside with a softer inside. My carbonara was creamy and flavorful. Most carbonara upsets my stomach because of dairy (but I still order it anyway because it's my favorite), but how they made it here left me feeling satisfied without an upset stomach which is a huge win in my book! It warmed my heart to feel like my kids were welcomed in a restaurant with open arms when many restaurants view kids in general as a burden. We will definitely be back!

They compliment the culture extremely well, and help set the atmosphere. When we went for lunch on a Sunday, it was pretty empty (only 1 other table). I would recommend not worrying about the low attendance. I think this has to do more with the fact that Downtown Avondale tends to be pretty empty. I think that they would do really well and be a lot busier if they were in a different location. The service was amazing, our server was attentive and gave out really good recommendations. While all the food was delicious...the free bread was my favorite. It was perfectly toasted and seasoned and included a brushetta topping on the side. I could have just ate that and would have been extremely happy. We ordered an appetizer of Calamari, it was a good portion size for the cost. The Calamari was well seasoned and crispy. I ordered the Portobello Mushroom Ravioli. It was flavorful with large pieces of mushroom mixed with the sauce. Even though it was a white cream sauce, the dish was suprisingly light, I would recommend trying it. The other two people I was with both ordered the Frutti de Mare. There was a good mixe and amount of seafood in the dish and the pasta was cooked perfectly. While the marinara sauce was good, I don't think it was something that was out of this world. I just think it needed a little more seasoning or some kind of kick to round it out. Overall, great restaurant and would recommend.
