    Some weird dude posing!

    What a fun way to have dinner with friends! We had never been here and we actually all enjoyed the food and the service. Jessica was amazing and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. We were a party of six and were seated immediately upon arrival. It seems we beat the dinner crowd, because the place did get busy as we were waiting for our food. My husband and I each ordered the Shack Trio and he threw in a 1/2 lb of Blue Mussels with his order. He ordered his food with the garlic butter sauce and he no likey spicy, so that's how he got it! I on the other hand, do like it hot so I got the Cajun sauce at the recommended "3" level, but did take it up a notch after my food was served and it wasn't all that spicy. This is a seafood boil place, so we knew it would be sloppy, but plastic gloves (who even does that?) and bibs were provided for all! The other two couples each ordered the seafood boiler for two and everyone was very pleased with their meals. Plates are served with corn on the cob and red potatoes. The corn was my favorite! Everything we ordered was served with the shell and i must say, the lobster tail took some energy to get it off its shell! Shrimp was a good size and 1/2 lb was plenty. Unfortunately my husband's and my snow crab clusters had very little meat (some legs were actually hollow!), but Jessica was quick to get us another serving and those were much better. Two of us ordered a side of noodles and neither of us ate them. They were just plain, unsalted noodles that were served in a clump in a bowl. We won't be having those again! Everything else was fantastic, and the fried CORNBREAD with ice cream for dessert is a must!!! It was aMAIZing (You see what I did there?)! I would personally go back for the dessert alone! Do keep in mind that this is a seafood place and is on the pricier side, but it's a great place to go and eat with fun people. We had a blast and will definitely do it again. Next time we will build our own meals and skip on the sides. We will also enjoy a cocktail next time, because they do have a full bar. I give them a 4/5 star rating only because the restrooms were a bit gross! Toilets need to be scrubbed!

    Had lunch here for the first time and we were pleasantly surprised. The clam chowder was full of clams and tasted great. It was a huge bowl with a side of garlic bread and only $6. We had the lunch special fish and chips for $12. Again, two huge pieces of fish and lots of fries. Unlike lots of places, the batter was nice and thin and didn't overwhelm the fish. We will be back!

    The food was ok. The ambiance is a bright diner that has a drop ceiling. They ring a bell and sound an alarm that might scare anyone unprepared- me. As someone who has a sensory sensitivity it was terrible. The worst part of our meal was the service. There were 6 tables there on a Saturday night. It was dead. Our server went to refill a soda just left it at the station. Our server also flaked filling our water. This sever took forever to come to the table and would only come by if we waved them down. I asked a different server, acting as the manager, for the soda and water and he dismissed me by telling me to "go sit down." The angry crab shack lived up to its name. The staff is angry and so was I.

    We would recommend! You are going to get messy so go with someone that loves you!!! Staff was friendly and the place is clean. I had the bucket o rum. It was tasty and with 4 1/2 shots well worth the price. My husband and I split the boil for two mixed bag special. You can add additional items to this but we ordered it as is and loved it. You pick a sauce and spice. We had the garlic sauce with mild spice. We routinely eat spicy foods and mild was just the right amount of heat for us. True test of a restaurant......... we both agree we will be returning.

    Stopped in for lunch last week...our 2nd visit. "Petunia" was our server and bartender extraordinaire. Poboys on this trip...fried oyster (overflowing) and catfish. Started with the triple sampler of calamari, onion rings and hush puppies. Petunia, hanks for making our lunch a pleasant experience!

    I was craving seafood and noticed there is an Angry Crab next to our hotel in Prescott. Not impressed by this new location. The seafood food came out very slow, in separate portions, hot, but got cold extremely fast and became rubbery. The quality of the seafood was not what we have experienced at other Angry Crab locations in the Valley. Service was very very slow. Extremely backed up on orders in the kitchen and the staff showed obvious signs of frustration. We will not return, but I do hope they hire additional staff to help with the demand of a new restaurant.

    Fried cornbread by Petunia

    Heather and Adam were wonderful servers and saved me from ruining my boil by trying to go higher than a heat level of 3! But, the star of the show was a fried cornbread desert made my Petunia! If you try it make sure Petunia is in the kitchen to make it for you! It was delectable. He ...yes he (Petunia) is a true culinary wizard and very personable. Ask for him by name.

    On Wednesday, April 8th, my wife and I were traveling to through AZ down to Scottsdale and we…read moredecided to stop for lunch here at Murphy's Restaurant! We ordered the Prime Rib, Ribeye, and Calamari. Everything was absolutely spot on! Our server was Paul Benson who has amazing customer service entrepreneurship skills, and was extremely attentive for everything that we needed. Paul Benson made sure that we enjoyed our experience along with great tasting food prepared by the chefs! The best part of his service was we weren't waiting around for service and he had great conversation! Visit Murphy's Restaurant and request for Paul Benson! You won't regret your experience!

    Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had…read more I ordered the prime rib and had to send it back twice because it was not cooked as requested. Even after the second attempt, it still wasn't right. For a restaurant known for its steaks, that's unacceptable. To make matters worse, the entire place had a strong mothball-like smell that was impossible to ignore and lingered with us even after we left. As we were walking out, another patron commented that the food was "barely palatable," which pretty much summed up our experience as well. The service tried to address the issue, but the poor food quality and unpleasant atmosphere overshadowed everything else. Sadly, we won't be returning.
