I've been here several times and the food here is absolutely amazing. They have several different types of sauces all available in different levels of hotness. I can highly recommend the clams, crab, and lobster. Very friendly service with a solid selection of craft beers. read more

This place is great. But they may be out of many menu items sun-tues. Highly recommended though!

What a excellent meal! Everyone's food was fantastic. Nice big shrimp & crab legs.i personally got just garlic crab legs & they were so good! Perfect portion. Others got various sauce & heat levels & they all enjoyed them. The experience was fun & we will definitely be going back & probably frequently. Be prepared for a wait because with this being a on of a kind in Arizona ~ well they are busy all the time. It's so worth the wait I must say! read more

The first place I've found in AZ in my 20 years here that truly reminds me of the seafood places I grew up with on the east coast. Great, laid back atmosphere with wonderful staff (and the seafood was excellent). We'll be visiting this place often! read more

I got a good review from a friend about this place and decided to try the place. Loved it. The service was awesome and hardly any wait time on the food. We just got there just in time before the evening crowd. We ordered the snow crab trifecta seasoning. The seasoning was so good. My husband ordered a dozen oysters both half grilled and on the half shell. The oysters were small but ok. My little guy ordered the angry edamame and the edamame were kinda small. The trifecta seasoning was the best and were craving it again. It's pricy but the customer service we got and the food we will be back. read more

Great place, great food and atmosphere. Be prepared to get messy so don't wear white out anything new lol.

Just went with a group of 12. Fun atmosphere. Food was delicious but messy! There's paper on the table & they supply bibs but be ready to get dirty. Many of us ordered the king crab, which was 3 legs for a pound. A bit pricey but it is king crab! We had the trifecta sauce & made it mild, which was delicious. Have them throw some corn, potatoes & sausage in your bag. I just wish they cracked the crab beforehand- it was actually painful trying to get the meat out of the pokey shell. read more

Love this place! We came here for the Fourth of July for my husband's birthday the food was awesome way better than any other seafood we have had in AZ. They had great specials and games for the kids. My daughter won a goldfish playing balloon toss. We had so much fun and enjoyed the food we went back the next day. I got 2lbs of shrimp and was surprised they still had the heads on... freaky. Everything was awesome and the spicy level was explained well. Shout out to Autumn for making the experience even better with great service and entertaining my kids! This place lost a star due to the waiter never showing up after we got our food. Maybe it was a fluke.We will be back and give an updated review. read more

This place was pretty amazing! Love the food and the prices were decent for what you are getting.

I don't think the raves on this place match anything I experienced. The wait staff was confused and it took forever to get an order in. They were out of everything I wanted to eat. I settled for raw oysters and the staff didn't know how to explain the catch. They were creamy. I don't prefer creamy raw. So then I ordered the calamari and it was tasteless. The cocktail sauce tasted like ketchup. The tarter sauce it came with was so weird I got scared and asked if it was rancid. They checked and said it had a ton of pickle in it it. Ick.. It's expensive too. Won't be back. read more

Great place! Very busy on a Sat night. 20 min wait, but once we got in service was FAST. Very helpful and friendly staff. Food was great too... Try the chargrilled oysters! We will be back. read more

If you like cajon, you'll like this place. Good food, good service, friendly staff. The crab was great. we are taking some back this week.

Food was awesome!!!! Had shrimp, snow crab, and crawfish Trifecta style medium hot....tasted nothing like it before! Would definately go again...only getting 4 stars cause they were out of the blue crab tonight :( read more

What a fun experience! Had the crawfish with mild heat and the trifecta flavoring with sausage. It was better than my boyfriend's shrimp and I loved the shrimp. Service was great. The only down fall was that the music was so loud. It was 2pm on a Saturday. I wasn't ready to party. read more

Angry Crab is AMAZING!! We go there at least once a week not only for the food but the atmosphere. The servers are very friendly and on top of their game, especially Michelle. read more

Had an amazing meal with my wife last night, at The Angry Crab. We had the snow crab, shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes. Everything was perfect. Our server was exceptional. She was so nice and helpful. Her knowledge of the dishes, seasoning and spices helped so much. Thanks so much Judy for the awesome dining experience!!! read more

My wife's favorite restaurant. We need to get our fix at least once every 2 months. Food is amazing of course. I understand it is not everyone's cup of tea. For Cajun seafood this is THE place to go. They have great sandwiches if you don't want the good stuff in the bags. Angry Crab gets really crowded but they still manage to keep up great food and service. We see the owner(s) there every time keeping everything on point. Their success and accolades are well deserved. The trifecta sauce is liquid gold. read more

Food was yummy and fast. Bummer though that they were out of dungeoness and blue crab.

This place is amazing! I'd eat here once a week if I could. I love spice, and they have spice. I love beer, and they have beer (and mules). It's always a safe bet to get a bag of fresh shellfish, but they're baskets are great as well. Being your friends, bring your family, and don't forget to wear your bib. read more

We went here last Saturday afternoon and were a party of 4. I liked the menu and the prices seemed fair. We each ordered something different off he menu. I orders the Crawfish Poboy roll with corn of the cob. The brought the corn on the cob first without my meal. All 4 orders were served at different times and the last person wasn't served until we were finished eating. My roll was stale and couldn't be eaten. Very disappointed. We did go to Dairy Queen afterwards for a Blizzard. read more

All the taps were pretty much broke. Every other beer was out. There was a cockroach by our table too.

Yummy Yummy Yummy!! Great prices and GREAT food!!! Really cool laid back atmosphere and good drinks.

DELISH!!!! Great seafood, eating off the table with yours hands... Kaitlyn is the best waitress!!

Our server, Hung, was awesome! Good service, fun atmosphere, delicious seafood in the desert! Great draft beers and the Clam Digger was the best bloody mary we ever had. Frog legs and Dungeness crab were perfect. Ordered the clams a little too hot (trifecta with Scorpion level 5), we'll definitely take it down a notch our next time back! Can't wait! read more

Great service. Decent wait times. I've lived in this neighborhood for 8 years and this is the first restaurant in that spot to survive and be packed every night! The potato salad is amaZing! I recommend the trifecta sauce with a medium spice. They also have great cocktails. read more

So good! My husband and I went here one night because we always see a line out the door. I can see why! Our server was so nice, extremely knowledgable about the menu and even showed us how to crack open our crab. Our appetizers came out so quickly followed by our boil bag. You could tell everything was so fresh and tasted delicious! They sell all their seafood at market value so the prices are very reasonable. We loved everything about this place and will definitely be back! read more

Had lunch there and ordered the Craw Fish Po-Boy. The fries were warm at the best, the craw fish was cold and mushy. The sauce was not what I would call 'traditional' what so ever and I did not care for it. I cannot recommend it at this time and may never go back regardless how much I love seafood. read more

The soft she'll crab was delicious, for being located in the dessert. Seafood by the pound on the boils is not bsd, based what's season it is. read more

Great seafood. I was not expecting good seafood in the middle of the valley, but this place does not disappoint. The prices a not bad either. FYI It is a known place, so wait times can get long. read more

Went to this place while I was visiting a friend. She just moved to Mesa and we were hungry and yelped restaurants in the area and BAM! Great food. Cool and laid back atmosphere. I only gave it 4 stars because some of our clams were not open when we got them BUT everything else was fantastic! We ordered 1lb snow crab legs, 1lb Dungeness crab and 1lb of clams with medium trifecta(on recommendation from a yelp reviewer). Amazing! Can't wait to go back!! read more

Angry Crab Shack - Dungeness crab - Seafood Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

See all

Fun place to go with a group. Service excellent. Be prepared to wait but so worth it. The portions were great. Only downside they were out of Crab. If you must have Crab call ahead and make sure they have it. read more

I absolutely loved this place! The food was incredible and server was so nice and helpful with any questions we had about the menu. It was my boyfriend's birthday and they did not disappoint! The bloody Mary had a little twist to it and I loved it. I'd rather eat here than at Joe's. Thanks for a wonderful experience! read more

We smartly arrived early before dinner rush hour, to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive and Larry our server is big on customer service; plus delivers an awesome smile to boot! We asked for crab tools ahead of time, after reading reviews of them being short on Saturday nights; but they were already on the table:-) We enjoyed the atmosphere of the place and everyone seemed to be in high spirits, celebrating special occasions, friends and family togetherness. We even got to write on the wall commemorating our time together at the ACS. We even got a shout out and piece of raspberry cheese cake from ACS for our anniversary. So on to the food, it was excellent! The Alligator nuggets were delicious and better than pappadeaux. The frog legs melt in your mouth with tender yumminess:-P The King Crab legs are not to be missed... Be prepared to get messy, there is a sink in the dinning area to wash your hands. SECRET TIP! (Bring a little wedge of lemon with you to the sink and rinse the butter sauce right off):-p Have fun!!! read more

This place is amazing! The seafood always tastes fresh and the sauces are awesome! We love the Pacific Rim spice level 3 (hot). We usually get the snow crab but this time we tried the blue crab and although I think it tastes better than the snow crab, it's more work and not as meaty. We had the hush puppies and added potatoes and corn to the boils. Delish!!! read more

Yesterday was our first visit... The crab legs were steamed to perfection and the "trifecta" sauce was delicious. The soft shell crab basket with Cajun fries is a new seafood favorite for me. The waitstaff were super friendly and helped us first-timers navigate the menu. The upside is that the food is awesome and the atmosphere fun. The downside is that they are opening an Angry Crab Shack near where we live and it may be too convenient and difficult to stay away from. Definitely our new favorite seafood place read more

We have tried this restaurant three times. Good news --- the service was good. The sweet potato fries were good. The spices were good. Bad news --- the corn was mushy and over cooked Really bad news --- The lobster, crab and crawfish were all over cooked. We have tried virtually all the selections. Worst sea food ever. read more

WOW! Had the King Crab bag with the three spices, medium heat and it was awesome. The Hush Puppies were great too. This place gets a big ole BOOYAH!!! read more

Our first visit to the Angry Crab Shack was tonight, it will definitely not be our last. The service was excellent, Frankie was our waiter and she was great, always checking to make sure everything was good. We live on the west coast so are always looking for a good seafood restaurant when in Arizona. The Angry Crab Shack more than met our expectations. The 'Chard' oysters were amazing. The trifector sauce was great as was all the different dishes we had, between eight of us we had the shrimp, crawfish, Dungeness crab & King crab - it was all delicious. It was also great fun digging in with our fingers and being totally messy! Thanks so much for a great meal. read more

Great food and service. It would be nicer if they accepted reservations on smaller parties for our wait time was probably 30 minutes. Also it's very loud in there between the music playing and the conversation roaring and the birthday greetings screaming it's hard to have a conversation. But I guess we were so busy trying to eat the food that was placed in front of us that we didn't mind screaming a little bit to be heard at our table of three. Our server was really nice and made sure that my husband didn't see the preparations for his birthday cake surprise and I really appreciated that. I will have to give them a four out of five simply because the noise was pretty bad but I do recommend their food. It was great! read more

We just ate there food over price and side food was terrible... We spent $40. For the two of us n went home hungry... The little corn was watery n very soft no taste to it... The rice was cold .. Crab legs was good but over priced .. Could of went to red lobster got crab legs salad n bake potatoe for less.... The cole slaw was unbeatable.... Sorry won't be back!! read more
