First seafood boil I've ever had and the best food I have ever in my life. Josh had outstanding service and explained the menu very well for all of us! Food came out quick! Definitely would recommend if it's your first seafood boil or even have had one before, very flavorful! read more

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 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

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 paper on the table and provided bibs are very much necessary as you will be covered in butter and seasoning when you are finished. The whole family enjoyed it, great experience. read more

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

Visiting Orange Beach and stopped in for some local cuisine. After about a 20 minute wait our party of 5 was seated at an acceptable social distance from other diners and our server appeared right away. We informed our server that 3 of us were at this type "seafood boil style" for the first time and she explained everything from the way the food was prepared and served to where you or wash your hands when finishing. Our table had the fish and chips, gumbo, and 3 seafood boils. Oh yes, also 3 house specialty drinks. Everything was delicious from what I could gather as you will also see when looking through my pictures. The two friends that I was with who had previously eaten this type of food loved it 100%... They take cards & wear mask. read more

This is just over a year since this chain restaurant opened here in our area. I gave them kudos on my first review after my initial visit and today was my forth so I thought I'd drop a few more highlights. In addition to their inclusion of some local seafood I've since had the opportunity to save some other nice touches. They are regularly featuring live music throughout the week on their spacious outdoor covered patio with an ample stage. The service is very good with tag team action so while your server can be hustling their tables there's several kitchen staff who quickly bring out your food when ready. This seems to help bring your food out hot and quickly, nice job. I've had both their New England clam chowder which is pleasantly tasty. In my years of chowder consumption throughout MA and the northeast I've become picky and this is indeed enjoyable. Their gumbo is pretty good, and is more regionally native but it is most acceptable of you add a lil' hot sauce. Now one of my big surprises is their chicken wings. I know who's thinking chicken wings at a crab place? Well there's are big, crispy and quite juicy and with several seasoning choices and 6 levels of heat you can enjoy a darn good chicken wing in this crab shack. The salads are a nice portion and are very good here with fresh baby greens and choices to several proteins as well. Bottom line: The seafood is good, and pretty much everything is worth a try so it's still a solid 4 and recommended! read more

Don't let mall location deter you. Was one of the best meals we had in Orange Beach. Service - Audrey was fantastic and a real pro. She helped us with the menu and made it easy to do a boil. She also made the boil fun. It comes on a plastic bag and you dump it on the table. Tie on the bib and dive in. Food - Order a boil with the trifecta spice. I did shrimp and the heat level 1. Perfect for me. Also had hush puppies and lobster roll. Both were very good. We were there off-season and were able to sit immediately. Like all places short on staff but they are working hard. Thank them and all wait staff these days with good tips. read more

My son and I tried the soft shell crab. Very good but a little greasy after awhile. My daughters shared a crab boil with the trifecta sauce. They said it was amazing and wanted to go back. Service was probably the best we had while in town. read more

This was so good, loved being able to create your own seafood boil bag with the add ons and seasonings you like.

My group of 5 was sat and 25 minutes later we still hadn't seen our server. I asked another server where our server was she said she'd go get him and 5 minutes later we were still waiting on him. so we didn't even get drinks. We wont be going back. read more

Great restaurant! Love the atmosphere and service. One of the best boiled crab and shrimps I have had, Thank You!

The food was hardly tasteful. The service was obscured. We watched 3 people sit and eat and leave before we got our food. Our drinks sat at the bar for 20 min and were watered down by the time we got them. The tofu was CARDBOARD. The only thing that made this experience okay was that he took the tofu off my ticket. I'll never eat here again. $50 for a lil bit of crab and it wasn't even worth it. I would've been more satisfied with mcdonald's 100%. read more

Oh man... so we are a family of 5 and got the family feast. It was plenty of food and was so good. Absolutely worth every penny we paid. We all walked away stuffed. The service was fast and friendly. A neat place and the wait was not very long - 20 minutes. L read more

Don't waste your $$$ here when there are so many great restaurants in Orange Beach. We had just arrived in town, tired and hungry and this place was conveniently located beside Publix. Avoid this place even if you are starving! The fish and chips had a "left in the freezer too long" taste with an overused cooking oil aftertaste. My husband had a mediocre shrimp bowl. It's the worst food we've ever had at the beach. Go next door, purchase Pub Subs at Publix, then eat them in your car. You can thank me later. read more

Way overpriced what they think of spicy is completely mild and non-spicy. Server was good. nice location if you want to waste your money complete tourist trap read more

Lovely appetizers here at The Angry Crab! Sweet girls rly enjoyed the Raw Oysters! #preboil update: We all got different broils and they were absolutely to die for! great service and amazing food! 10/10 would recommend read more

One of our favorites on our trip to Orange Beach. I was so pleasantly surprised at how yummy Angry Crab Shack was! Our waiter, Josh, was the most helpful, kind, attentive waiter we had the entire trip. He made the experience at the restaurant a great one. The food was absolutely delicious. We got a pound of snow crab ($36), the trifecta(MUST HAVE), mild(and it was still a little hot) thankfully Josh had explained that all the spice levels ran a little warmer than expected. We also added a 1/2 lb of head on shrimp ($8) to the order. My husband and I shared that with a 1/2 dozen charred oysters. It was the perfect amount of food for the two of us. We will definitely visit again when we come back to orange beach. read more

The only thing I don't like is that I don't know what the seasonings will be like. I wish I could have a side of each We loved the food! We got 3 lb shrimp, 1 lb mussels, corn and potatoes. Filled 4 of us up! We never mess with crab because it's not tasty enough for the price. It's just blah... I'd rather have a ton of big shrimp. My kids love it! We got the trio seasonings, and I had a side of the hot Cajun for myself to dip. Yum! read more

Angry Crab Shack - SEAFOOD BOIL! 3 lb shrimp, 1 lb mussels, corn, potatoes, sausage. - Seafood Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

I''m wrestling with this review a little, It's not a 5 star, and not quite a 3, so guess 4 it is. Had Bradon as the bar / server last night. He gets 5 stars, the wait wasn't terrible, so there is 4 stars (At the beach week before 4th of July so kinda expected) As for food, I'm going 3 stars. Wifey had Gatorbites. 5 stars, I had a seafood bag (Shrimp) and it's a 4 star, although heat level 3 not hot at all, might go back for 5, 4 might have been ok. The lobster crustenie? wasn't with money. It lacked flavor, bread soggy, and it came out later than the food. (Ordered it as an appetizer) A 3 is being generous. We might go again while down here. Maybe read more

Are again when I came back to gulf shores and we had a party of 8 , they charge use a 17.5 % tip on our tickets. Josh was our waiter he was great. Got the boil and gator bits and a kids Mac and cheese. I understand it comes out when ready but the kids mac and cheese was last even had to ask about it. So I say our kids meals when order apps. Will return again. It right next to publix. read more

Yummy food and our waitress Rachel was spectacular! Southern boil and shrimp bowl was delicious. Highly recommend!

AMAZING!! The wait on a Tuesday night was ridiculous but I'll just charge that to spring break and a lot of people are here from out of town. The seafood bag I had was very good, delicious. I had shrimp, mussels, snow crab, and sausage... with the trifecta sauce (all 3 sauces) and medium spice level! Very filling and not too bad on the price! Definitely going back!! read more

Very good boil type food. You order by the pound of meat and the add other items such as corn, potato, etc. They also have a couple of other food baskets/Items if someone in your party doesn't want seafood. My son got the chicken tenders basket, which was good and plentiful. They have a hand washing station available on the dining room floor. read more

The service was fine, as was the atmosphere. I can't even fault the high prices because I do understand the high cost of seafood right now. The food simply wasn't good. Admittedly, I did not try their signature dishes of boiled seafood. I had clam chowder and grilled shrimp with rice and veggies. The shrimp was I believe $18 and I received five of them, and the dish lacked any flavor. The clam chowder was as good as one I could get from a can in Walmart. I hesitated to order the $120 crab boil for two because as I was brought to my table I looked at some other table's dishes and just wasn't impressed. I'm glad I only wasted $24. read more

Very impressed. First visit here and they had an all you can eat snow crab special. Crabs were amazing ! Service was great, wait was short, all in all great boil bags and great experience. My daughter who doesn't eat seafood even enjoyed her chicken tender kids meal. Will be back. I thought about this meal for days after it was so yummy read more

Fun concept with "Cajun boil" but confusing to order so we passed. The crab & shrimp cake sandwich was awesome, great sweet potato fries, very crisp and fresh. My fried shrimp was blah, over breaded and very greasy my Caesar salad was very salty and my corn bread was stale...probed should have order the shrimp boil? Service was decent, but it was crowded. read more

The food was actually pretty good. So good we came back twice on our vacation. The reason for the low review is the absolutely awfully terrible front desk experience. We checked in and were told a 30-minute wait. It was pouring rain and we had a large group so we decided to wait even though we told them we'd be willing to break up our group. After 40 minutes I went back to check on our wait and she talked to me as if she had never met me and quoted me another 20 minutes! I told her again we'd break our group up and made sure she knew we had kids who wanted to eat. After an hour of total waiting and went back and she told me another 20 minutes acting again as this was the first time we spoke. I was highly irritated at this point (though I am super chill and had my composure) I asked her why this was taking so long and she told me that she was waiting on this one large table to open up and they sat down right before we first arrived. I explained that it was never reasonable that a group that large would have been done in 30 minutes or even an hour and that if she had just been upfront with me in the beginning then we would have just gone somewhere else. There was no apology. We continued to wait as we had waited that long and they look close to being done. I watched as the waiter at the table we were waiting for had absolutely no urgency to give them their bill (though the party was clearly wanting to go) and no urgency to clean the table for us. After a total of an hour and forty minutes, we finally sat down. read more

server was overwhelmed with tables and bar area. 2 of the 4 orders were missing food. shrimp was overcooked. the lady I'm assuming was manager(older blonde) stood around seeing multiple tables needing assistance and at one point when a server came up to tell her there was a birthday she said "what the f*ck". Joe did great considering. read more

My wife and I decided to give them a try since we were in town. We were blown away with the food and service. My wife and I both had the boiled shrimp and snow crab clusters. We got the trifecta sauce which is garlic, Cajun seasoning and butter. Very tasty stuff. Also we had the charred oysters which were very tasty. The place was packed and we only seen two servers. Our server was awesome. Her name was Audrey and did a fantastic job. She had at least 8 tables and kept up with all our needs. I definitely would recommend this place and definitely will be back. read more
