Food was good and the service was even better. My family has always owned restaurants. I was bussing tables at eight years old and waiting tables at 10 years old. The bartender/server JOE was an absolute rockstar bartending, and very accomplished as a server. He's good at his job, but very personable and relaxed as well. If I had a restaurant and bar here locally, I would steal him away. read more

A great value, amazing food, good service and atmosphere. We left completely stuffed.

5-star food with friendly staff! Shrimp bowl medium heat. Grits are delicious. Shrimp & lobster boil was delicious. Only downside is that we froze. Strongly recommend pants and warm jacket. Felt great to get outside to warm up. read more

Angry Crab Shack - Shrimp bowl on noodles - Seafood Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Woof, guys... let me tell you after devouring this, I was full. We arrived, and as we walked through the restaurant, my mouth was already watering the smell of flavor was in the air. Tish seated us and explained the seafood boil options in great detail. I saw her do this with every table outside, and she was fantastic. HUGE shoutout to her I also loved how she interacted with the live band from time to time. I ordered a pound of crab with a half pound of scallops, two red potatoes, and one corn on the cob, all with the trifecta sauce a combination of garlic, lemon pepper, Cajun, and their signature sauce (thank you, Tish). Spice level 3, considered hot, comes with habanero peppers in the mix it was awesome! My lady got the vegetarian tofu bowl with ramen. Angry Crab Shack, I challenge you to add your amazing seasoning to your ramen bowls or tofu. I tried it, and it was bland just because a dish is vegetarian doesn't mean it should be without flavor. With how good your food is, adding those flavors to the vegetarian options would attract an even bigger crowd. My only quam was that mosquitoes kept landing on me outside, but from what I hear, that's the state bird. Maybe burn some citronella candles out there. Thank you for the experience! read more

Food was good. Service was excellent. Bright indoor seating and sunny outdoor seating. As a local, I recommend Angry Crab Shack as a tourist dining option. For an Arizona based seafood chain, they do a good job with southern dishes. read more

My husband is a picky eater so after looking at the menu online, I thought this would be a good compromise for both of us. We went for lunch on a Friday and it was almost deserted. Service was friendly and fast. They had decent music playing (classic rock/80s). I got the Jambalaya and he ordered the Fish and Chips, double fries instead of fries & slaw. The food was pretty good. My Jambalaya came with chicken, shrimp, and conecuh sausage, my favorite. The bread was sliced but not cut all the way through, so trying to finish cutting it while in the jambalaya was difficult since it kinda became rubbery. His fries were good - Cajun fries - and his fish was ok. It was Cod, heavily battered. It kinda reminded me of Long John Silver's. That's not an insult; we used to eat there frequently! I don't know. We ate everything, but when we left I said "It was fine, but I feel very underwhelmed." He said that was exactly what he was thinking. I'd go back for sure but maybe not with a lot of enthusiasm. read more

Not all that good for the money. Not a lot of flavor. Service was great!, but not much else.

We tried this place for dinner recently and it was ok. Our group of 5 was quoted 30 min wait time around 6:30p on a Wednesday night. We got our table 50 min later. Once we sat at the table it was another 15 min before a waiter took our drink order. We tried the fried shrimp basket, catfish basket, and the shrimp/crab combo boil. The fish and shrimp were good. The Cajun fries had great flavor. The shrimp/crab boil was just ok. The shrimp were tough and the crab was tough to crack because it was so mushy. Almost as if it was over cooked. Which isn't great considering how long the wait was. read more

This was my first time at the Angry Crab Shack. We were seated promptly and our server Mady was excellent. She was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and helped with any questions.This was my first seafood boil experience. I opted for the Shrimp and Crab combo, selected the trifecta seasoning(garlic, lemon pepper, cajun) at spice level 2. This was delicious! Great flavor, just the right amount of heat, and portion size for one. The seafood cooked perfectly, sweet corn, and buttery soft potato. Overall, a wonderful experience and yummy meal! read more

I really want to be fair so this review might be long. Walked in and were seated immediately. The hostesses were absolutely lovely. They had live music and it was amazing. They also had calamari which was the only thing my daughter wanted for her birthday, and was surprisingly difficult to find on the gulf. Appetizers came out nice and quick. They serve Pepsi products, which I love, but they were out of actual Pepsi. We had seven people in our party: myself, my husband and our five kids. Our food came out in three waves, 10 minutes apart. Our last kid didn't have his food till most of us were half done. They gave my daughter a beautiful, free dessert. That was kind and generous. At the end, they did mandatory gratuity even though their website that applies to adults. Kinda sneaky. Honestly, had we all not eaten dinner at different times, we would've left a large tip anyway but the service was not great save for the hostesses. Our server seemed mildly annoyed the duration of the night though our order WAS accurate, etc. With so many options I simply don't think I will be back. read more

Kids menu popcorn shrimp was such a small portion that I had to ask if was the right amount. They said yes so I sent it back. $7 for 8 popcorn shrimp. Changed to the fried shrimp meal for $17 and it was the right choice. The naked shrimp boil was cold as were the sausage and corn when it came out. Very disappointing. The server pretty much ignored us after I asked about the popcorn shrimp. Not sure why she did as I knew it wasn't her fault. Over priced but that's almost everything on the beach. read more

He handed it off to someone else to bring it. read more

We had such a great time eating seafood Friday night that we tried ANGRY CRAB RESTAURANT across from the Hampton inn Saturday night, they offered live music.

Tourists tend to be the majority of the clientele. Typical crap and shrimp boils are the focus of the place. Variety of sizes and protein selections available. Potatoes and corn are loaded with flavor, but have been overcooked every time. Live entertainment is offered every week. Local band Gypsy Pearl Is a favorite of locals and are often here. read more

Ate here with the fam and have to say was pretty disappointed. The price was high. The spices/seasoning was pretty bland. Seafood is seafood -so the protein was fine. The seasoning was bland. I went ahead and bought a couple of levels up on the heat -and it was not good either Hot -but not good. The boil and drinks and 2 appetizers was over $400; so 4 adults and 2 pre-teens and 2 toddlers ate for $57 each. I'm good with price -when quality is there; unfortunately, it was not. Sorry -can't give them a good review. The server -Tish, was sweet and took care of us -a diamond in the rough. read more

Angry Crab Shack - $280 Boil -No additions. - Seafood Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

We stopped here as a party of 5. 3 adults 2 kids and the food was delicious! Money well spent. Our eyes were bigger than our bellies and we had lots to take home. Service was prompt and our server was very nice. We loved the openness of the restaurant, the music playing was great and the restaurant has lots of natural light. Bathrooms were clean. We love spicy, and ordered level 2 for our boil. Ended up asking for level 3 on the side and probably could've gone up another level, but the flavor was there, it was delicious. We also ordered the lobster crostini and it was so refreshing and wasn't heavy on our stomachs. Would def order all over again. Shrimp and grits were out of this world! read more

My family is a seafood family and my parents recommended this spot while we were visiting them in Orange Beach. We were able to walk in and grab a table pretty quickly as things turned around fast. They were busy but the staff are efficient and friendly. We decided to get the shrimp broil with a few extras thrown in. It seems kind of pricey at first but when you see that the bags feed multiple people, it really evens out. We were able to feed 4 adults out of one bag and we all had plenty to eat. Lots of yummy shrimp. We ordered a kids meal for one of our kids, but the other one was able to eat out of the bag as well since he is a shrimp lover like his dad. The only thing I would mention is that some of the extras are personal sized, so if you order something like coleslaw, it will only feed one person. It also was a little weird eating out of a bag, it felt like I was digging through the trash like a raccoon, ha! Other than that, not a bad place for some healthy, non-fried seafood broils. read more

We were on vacation and we spent a few hours across the street on the beach. Came in around 4 o'clock and we were immediately seated. Kara was our server and she came to our table right away to offer us drinks, explain the menu thoroughly and answered any questions we had. Our food came in good time and was very delicious. We ordered the shellfish sampler and shared it between 3 people. Catfish and shrimp basket and shrimp pasta. The sampler was more than plenty for 3 people and we had leftovers of all our food. Portions were very generous. Kara checked on us in on us quite a bit. She is whey friendly and considerate of our needs. Would highly recommend Angry Crab Shack and would definitely come again when we are in the area. Ask for Kara to be your server, you will not be disappointed. read more

We came for the crab boil and it did not disappoint. Spicy is really spicy and our waitress made sure we knew as we ordered. The food tasted amazing and the service was excellent. Well worth the cost. Better than some of the higher rated restaurants. We will be back. read more

Ordered 1/2 dozen oysters which were good (hard to mess them up if they're fresh) and the shrimp and grits as I order it anytime I see in a menu. It was very bland/boring (I added hot sauce to it to give it some life) but too much grits and not enough shrimp. I wouldn't order it again. Service - I was seated at a high top table in the bar and the bartender struggled to work the area by himself...I kept going to the bar when I needed something. read more

Please don't waste your time. The whole staff needs to be trained including the manger NAT.... Our waiter was LILLY!!!! horrible. Katlyn who is the hostess is very rude!!!! Regardless if the kitchen is backed up on orders. Our table went with the flow of the business. Everything went south when I decided to close my ticket out at the front and canceled my to go order. As I was trying to handle my ticket, Katlyn kept saying I needed to take care of the customers behind me. In honestly I was there first and should have been allowed to finish paying my ticket out. All three employees needs to back in customer service training. read more

If you're craving a legit seafood boil, *RUN* to Angry Crab Shack. I ordered the crawfish and Dungeness crab boil, and it did *not* disappoint. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked -- the crawfish were juicy, and the Dungeness crab was packed with sweet, tender meat. I got it with their signature seasoning (a must!) and medium spice, and it was bursting with flavor without being overwhelming. The corn, potatoes, and sausage soaked up all that buttery, garlicky, spicy goodness -- I was literally licking my fingers. Super fun, casual vibe with messy hands and big flavor -- exactly what a seafood boil should be. I'll definitely be back! read more

Pulled up here and didn't have high expectations being that seafood is different everywhere. The hostess at the front was very rude, but when we're sat our waiter Joe was awesome.

We will definitely be back the next time we're here on vacation. read more

Easy five star review and the number one factor--- David, our waiter. I hope his management sees this and honors his service. Such a genuinely kind, efficient, and enjoyable person. My three year twin boys loved David. He not only got our somewhat complicated order perfect the first time, but he went out of his way to let my sons meet his "pet," Mr. Big Boy (lobster). Dinner and a free experience! And we didn't have to wait! (Thursday night, 7pm). Thank you so much, Angry Crab, and of course, David. God Bless this business! read more

We had a table of 5 and 3 separate tickets and our waiter had no issue with that. For the table someone ordered the jalapeño hush puppies and calamari. The calamari was not good, so disappointed because we love calamari. I think they were previously frozen. The hush puppies were good and nice with the ranch dip. The clam chowder and corn bread was delicious! Especially the corn bread, it was moist, tad sweet, and also had jalapeños - it was the perfect combo. The catfish basket was so good, the catfish was a big piece and paired nicely with the potato salad. My boil was sadly okay, the shrimp was overcooked so it was touch and I didn't even finish half of it but the crab legs was cooked perfectly. I only ordered one but I guess the waiter thought I said two which is fine because I would have left starving. read more

Angry Crab Shack - Shrimp and crab boil with 4 pieces of sausage added. - Seafood Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Our waitress was nice but service was really slow. The fried pickles were probably the worst we've had (and they came out cold), the lobster roll was meh at best, the chicken tenders were burnt, and the gumbo was all smoky no spice. The only thing that was actually "acceptable" taste wise were the raw oysters, but even they were unimpressive compared to other restaurants. read more

I chose this restaurant after sifting through the 20+ restaurants around the condo we are staying at. Upon seeing positive 5 star reviews in the recent month, I went with the Angry Crab Shack. I was kind of overwhelmed by the menu at first pertaining to the boil but our server Josh guided us through! He provided incredible service which was sincerely appreciated since we are from out of town. We started with a dozen raw oysters on the half shell which were oh so good and fresh. We also had calamari as well which seemed to have a Cajun flavor to it. For my boil, I got one pound of the green mussels at 1 spiciness trifecta style. I also got some corn, sausage and half a pound of clams as well. It was DELICIOUS. It was also spicy as Josh had warned me. Level 1 is with cayenne pepper so it was expected. I was so full by the end but I also got some noodles to throw into the boil juice so that I could make another meal out of it and not throw it out. I'm pretty sure we'll be back this week! It was an amazing experience. 10/10 would recommend to family and friends! read more

It's on the pricy side for what we typically like to spend but the food was outstanding and the service was even better.

The greeter was rude to the group before us and then us, too. Refused to let us set at 2 tables and insisted we had to sit outside. Consequently one in our group overheated. The waitress was wonderful. The food was good but the greeter should never be in that position. 8/6/2024 read more

I wasn't expecting much. It looked corporate and located in an upscale shopping area - so I assumed it would be nothing special. Wow, was I wrong! Atmosphere: it's a fun atmosphere, well decorated. The tables are covered in paper for less mess. Seats are comfy. It's appropriately loud - but not you can't talk to your friends loud. Food: Amazing. Everything we ordered was just fresh and fantastic! Fried tofu was a surprise and it was soooooo good! I suggest the trifecta sauce and medium or hot. You'll see what I mean when you look at the menu. Other items are available if you don't want messy seafood buckets. Service: It was a tad slow at times, but everyone was super friendly. Food came out fast and correct. Drinks were refilled when needed. No complaints on service. All in all - if you want a damn good low country boil experience with tons of options - you can't beat this place. It's really good! read more
