This is a popular eatery, especially for families and special occasions. If there's a birthday, you'll hear an air horn celebrating it. The atmosphere is bright and there are sports on every tv to look at. The food we had, jambalaya and shrimp bowl, were excellent. But what makes this place five stars was the service. The manager came by to make sure we were comfortable and answered our questions about the menu items. The food and drinks were served in a timely manner. And the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend. read more

Anyways- totally recommend, the server was so sweet and the food was brought out quickly! Though it is a bit chilly in there (very.) so def keep that in mind! read more

Angry Crab Shack - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

I've been a loyal customer for years, but my recent visit was extremely disappointing. Long waits to be seated and served, slow drinks, no utensils, and all the seafood was overcooked..including the very small "king" crab. After a $190 bill, this was not the quality I expected. Sadly, this will be my last visit! read more

Out of oysters! What restaurant that is known for seafood doesn't secure fresh oysters from another location! Went for my birthday and I will never go back... I Do have to shout out to my server who was excellent! read more

Dalynn was a great server! Attentive and went above and beyond for us! The new wings were delicious my bf said 5/5 they definitely have a Cajun flavor so yummy! The food was warm shrimp, potatoes, egg, and sausage cooked perfectly! Thank you Angry crab! read more

Been twice now and the trifecta sauce has me coming back. Great pricing for king crab. Service is very attentive and kind. Will be back read more

I ordered some gumbo, cornbread and corn on the cob. It was raining this day. It was the perfect meal for the occasion. I loved every bit of it. Thank you guys. It put a smile on my face. read more

I'm disappointed with my recent visit to angry crab cactus location We've been regular customers for about three years and have always spent a fair amount there. During our last dinner, we asked for lemons and were told they cost a dollar. We said okay, but were then served three tiny pieces of lemon. It's not about the money--it's that we feel the food is already pricey, so we expect basic service like complimentary lemon slices without extra charges or minimal portions read more

I love this place and it pains me to post this because I don't know if this was the restaurants fault or the delivery driver. Clearly the packaging is terrible for delivery orders! Ordered 1lb bag of shrimp PLUS a fried catfish basket with coleslaw and fries. Only received LESS than a pound of shrimp, no catfish meal in sight. NOTHING was sealed! Please see photo. read more

Angry Crab Shack - 1lb Shrimp in bag- Catfish basket, fries and coleslaw missing. Restaurant placed sticker on the top of the shrimp bag, but it's still open! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

The jambalaya was good and the red beans and rice was even better. The calamari appetizer was not good. The menu describes it as fried light and crisp, but it was so heavily breaded and seasoned that you could barely notice the calamari. The service was good and this would be four stars if it wasn't for the calamari. read more

I still love this place. I've tried other places but nothing compares to the flavor and quality. It's a super fun experience and if you don't mind getting a little messy then this is the place. Staff is always friendly and attentive. The seafood is always cooked perfectly and the drinks are also great. Can't wait to go back! read more

The crab boil is always a hit! Add corn, potatoes and lots of shrimp! The seasoning is so good but it has a lot of garlic so be ready for it! Fun and casual atmosphere for the whole family! read more

It was going good until a roach walked on my table i got a 25% discount but they seemed to unbothered like if it was something normal to them ima just stick to pier 88 Cause tf read more

Comfortable dress. Relaxed atmosphere. Then the food. Garlic butter noodles with shrimp OUTSTANDING! Hush puppies w jalepeno OUTSTANDING! Jambalaya spicy and large portion OUTSTANDING! Shrimp basket w coleslaw and red beans w rice OUTSTANDING! Happy Hour drinks $6.00 they don't hold back on the rum! All for 85.00 OUTSTANDING!!! read more

Came the day before Mother's Day (or as I later learned is Mexican's Mother's Day) and it was extremely packed as it was also a Saturday night. Ambiance is super loud and chaotic as it is with most Angry Crab Shacks, but the service was really bad with how busy the place was. We had to wait a long time for our food and we had to ask over 4 times for a side of butter. Still had a fun time though as seafood boil is an inherently fun meal with people. read more

I was just there yesterday and was having a great time until I received my bill. I ordered a flavored lemonade thinking nothing of it and was shocked when I saw a charge of $24 for 4 lemonades. I was never told by any of the 3 servers that where attending the table that the lemonade did not include free refills. I feel like this is something that all restaurants make customers aware of as soon as they order any drink that has an additional charge . read more

Mussels ,headless shrimp , and lobster crostini's all made well all delicious! If you love to go out for seafood boils and live/travel in Arizona, this place is the one for you! You can taste the freshness of the seafood choices you get and there are many appetizers to choose from! The service is always so great and such a fun place to eat! read more

We are fairly new to the area and both husband and I like seafood so it was a no brainer. The thing that struck me the most was the top notch staff. Frank was great, offering information right from the start with our drink choice. When I asked to have the onion garnish left off my bowl he automatically asked me about whether I preferred to keep the minced garlic. I would not have thought about that. He and all the staff were so pleasant. And manager, Jenny, came to welcome us for our first visit and ask more about us as residents. The food was very tasty and we will definitely be back to try the popular seafood bags. read more

By far my favorite seafood boil place to attend . The service is great and the food tastes so much fresher than hot n juicy .

We came here on a Saturday afternoon after taking our kids to play at the indoor playground next door. The wonderful aromas of the food was quickly noted outside there building, which is why we decided to give them a try. Best decision ever! It was pretty packed but luckily we did not have to wait to be seated. We brought our 4 little ones with us, since it seemed family friendly. We were greeted by Caleb, who did a fantastic job! He was very friendly & welcoming. Once we were seated, my husband had to go to the car for our daughter's bottle & then use the restroom. The waitress was kind & patient while we caught up on those things for our kids. I did not catch her name, but she was great! The restaurant itself is very clean, including the restrooms. It is also, family friendly. So if you're checking out the kids playground next door, give this place a try! We try to avoid places where it's a quiet ambiance since we have 4 kids under 5. This place was loud & fun in the most positive way. They give shout outs to individuals when it's their birthday & they celebrate great customer service with a bell. It does get loud but it's okay bc kids can be loud anyways & it's not to loud where you can't enjoy your food or conversations. My 6 month old was able to sleep through most of the celebrations. The food was so good! My husband and I ordered 1 lbs of shrimp each & he added sausage and corn to his order. Our food was delicious, fresh & well seasoned. The spice level was spot on as well! My 3 little boys had the chicken tenders, cod & seasoned fries. My husband & I tried a couple of their fries haha and they were sooo good! It's such a great family place, we were worried about eating there bc it's hard to find a nice restaurant with quality food that won't mind little kids, being kids. But they were more than welcoming & had a nice kids menu with good size portions as well. They also provided crayons for our little ones to write on the paper laid out on the table, so they can stay busy while the food arrives. Great idea! We loved it here & we will definitely be back! read more

We went to Angry Crab @ 7608 W Cactus Rd. To celebrate my son and granddaughters birthday on 12/13/25. It's been a year or so since I have eaten there. Even though the king crab legs were $85.00/lb I decided to treat myself. What a huge disappointment. The crab legs were so small they were SLIGHTLY bigger that the snow crab legs and I mean SLIGHTLY. The last time I was there I got a total of 4 crab legs that weighed 1 lb... Saturday there was 9 SKINNY crab legs that had very little meat in them. A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT for $85.00...definitely not worth the cost. read more

Stopped by midday for an early dinner, we were immediately greeted and seated. Service was fantastic! If you do not like spicy, let your server know... I ordered the base and for me, it was still hot, lol. Being a total wimp,(my term, she didn't call me that and was very helpful) She fixed me up with a butter garlic base for my boil and it was great! read more

I've been an Angry Crab customer for several years (like 12 or 13) and pretty much all Phoenix area locations. Unfortunately, I think today was my last visit. Prices here have always been drastically inflated, but for them to now start charging for lemons with seafood is simply ludicrous! That's like charging for dressing with salad or gravy with mashed potatoes. Come on, Angry Crab....Your 500% mark-up isn't good enough? PLEASE DO BETTER! read more

The shrimp and crab legs were delicious with the garlic spice sauce! Vibe was cool and service was on point, but those booth seats need to be changed out. Hopefully manage will update the booths with cushion that doesn't sink in. We will be back after the seats are updated! read more

I really like the Angry Crab. The service was good and everything I ordered was very good.

Jordan was an attentive and friendly server. I had the fried shrimp basket with fries and potato salad. The shrimp didn't taste fresh and was mostly batter; very similar to frozen shrimp; didn't taste fresh at all. The fries were good and the potato salad was nice. The cocktail sauce was basically just ketchup with very little other flavor and the tartar sauce was basically all mayo with little else to it. The staff were friendly and welcoming. read more

Only leaving 3 stars because the taste was good. Paying 93$ I expect to have meat in every piece of King Crab. My dasher also had to wait on my food but it was so cold and the drive is only 10 minutes , the food couldn't have been hot when it was picked up. Worst $106 spent for food forsure. read more

Took my son here for his birthday because he loves seafood. He had a seagiod boil and I had the Grilled Salmon. The salmon was delicious! I had fishy tasting fish and this was not! It was cooked to perfection. It came with veggies and your choice of rice or linguine. The table "cloth" is paper so you can draw on it and make a mess!! The staff is kind, attentive and over all they look like they love working there. The ambiance is fun!!! I highly recommend this place. Try it out! read more

Stopped in to the angry shack o'crabs the other night. I bellied up to the bar, with my wife. Keenan strolled up with a huge smile on his face. We ordered some cocktails, that were made to perfection. He recommended a couple dishes that we had never tried, as well as one of their Purple Haze draft beers with a floater of Peach Schnapps. Holy freaking annoyed decapods, Batman!! That shit was fire!! Great recommendation!! The food came out steaming and delicious. Once it hits your tongue, you get transported to the world of the decadent. A world seldom get to experience. If the angry crab shack was a live video game, we just leveled up to the boss level. What a great experience. Keenan fucking killed it!! Great attitude, charming, hilarious. What more could I ask for? I even overheard him singing to a country song that was playing on the overhead speakers. Damn near perfect pitch. Wow! I feel like I'm on a hidden camera show, but nope. Just a wonderful time had before a Beyoncé show in Glendale. We will be back. Then after that....we will be back. It's nice to know that there's still an opportunity to have a mind-blowing culinary experience in our neck of the woods. If you happen to stroll in, ask for Keenan. You will not be disappointed. read more

Oh, dear reader, I must regale you with the tale of my recent dining escapade at The Angry Crab, where whimsy and absurdity danced together like a joyous waltz! This night was filled with mirth, laughter, and the unforgettable presence of our nefarious server and bartender, the one and only Sir Keenan. As I stepped into The Angry Crab, the atmosphere enveloped me in its playful embrace. The walls were adorned with menacing paintings of ceremonial dancing crustaceans and aged wood that had been colorfully tagged with the names of, what I assume are the local ruffians. It was like entering a fantastical underwater gangland, where the laws of gravity and vandalism were delightfully suspended. Ah, Keenan, the maestro of merriment! With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, he greeted us with a twirl and a curtsy. Clad in a lobster-shaped hat, eyepatch, and a plastic hook for a left hand, he effortlessly blended in with the enchanting ambiance of the restaurant. His infectious cackle filled the air, setting the tone for an evening of messy absurdity. Now, dear reader, let me regale you with the culinary wonders that awaited me. The menu, crafted with a touch of sophistication and a dash of madness, offered dishes that defied the boundaries of conventional cuisine. From the "Crabby Cravings" to the "Lobster Lunacy," each item beckoned with promises of gluttonous devilry. I decided to embark on a gastronomic journey and cautiously ordered the "Crabby Appendages of Snow". As Sir Keenan placed the dish in front of me, he exclaimed, "Prepare yourself for a taste explosion that will transport you to the moon!" Then, as he exited stage right, he actually moonwalked, did another twirl, and vocally exploded with a "Hee! Hee!" And oh, what a fantastical explosion it was! In every sense of the word. The crabby appendage limbs were a delightful blend of flavors, with each bite sending my taste buds on a Space Mountain-esque rollercoaster of joy. I couldn't help but giggle out loud with delight as I savored each mouth morsel. Throughout the evening, Keenan regaled me with ancient tales of antagonist crab pirates, lobster races, and the secret lives of oyster spies. His storytelling skills were as remarkable as his mixology prowess. He told us about a few of their famous cocktail concoctions, with names like "The Squid's Ink Surprise" and "The Tipsy Tentacle," although they were out of most of the ingredients to make them. They tasted delicious to my ear. And I think that's good enough. As the evening drew to a close, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. The danger, the laughter, and the absurdity had cast a spell on me, and I didn't want it to end. But alas, all good things must come, as they say, and so did my adventure at The Angry Crab. If you seek a dining experience that defies the ordinary, where cackles of laughter swirl in the air like confetti, and where Sir Keenan, the Master of Crabs, guides you through a culinary Wonderland, then The Angry Crab is the place for you. Embrace the absurdity, dear reader. Embrace it with both arms so tightly that it too, explodes. Cheers. read more

Always amazing, our favourite location. Love that they still have queen crab right now, but miss the alligator.

I've left a review on this same angry crab please over 3 years ago. And here I am again doing another one because it's my favorite place to come and eat seafood at. Today I had yet another amazing experience, I came in with all my sisters for lunch, around 12:00-12:20. Our waiter, I think he had a Ravens football jersey (sorry if i am wrong) lol but anyway he was such an amazing person! He was so awesome and above all was very courteous. His energy was infectious in the most positive manner. Everything we needed he was on top of it, made us laugh and ensured we were satisfied with everything. The atmosphere is always great, seriously my FAVORITE seafood boil location. I feel like my experiences with Angry crab just keep getting better and better over the years. I love your Team Angry crab! I have been a loyal customer for over 5 years. Please send me a shirt, read more

Good was great, service was a little slow but only because they didn't have much staff. The snow crab legs were great with lots of meat and the seasoning wasn't overwhelming. Would recommend and would definitely eat here again. read more

We walked in and the rotten fish smell was overwhelming. The hostess was to far away from the door to speak with us before we stepped out of the restaurant. read more

I don't usually write reviews...but I wanted to post a warning for the uninitiated. I was craving clams so I ordered the clam seafood boil with garlic sauce and mild/whimpy spice and had it delivered. It was really good...but way too spicy for me! Next time, I will definitely order the 0 spice level. This was definitely more on me than the restaurant and I'm sure if I was dining in or spoke to someone before I ordered they would have advised accordingly. But if you're ordering blindly like I was and have never had any type of Cajun food before - mild was spicier than I expected! read more

I returned to this location for a mommy/daughter date yesterday. The place was busy as usual. We were quickly greeted and seated by the person who also ended up being our server, Cam. He had AMAZING customer service and was very attentive to our needs and requests. The food was great. I ordered the queen crab legs and naked shrimp with some add-ins, and my baby girl had snow crab legs with the naked shrimp and add ins. All was fantastic. Prior to leaving, I asked for the manager so I could inform her of my previous bad experience and the fact that Cam turned it around for us and I would be updating my review. She seemed happy to hear it and was super sweet when she greeted me with a big smile before knowing what I had to say. Keep up the good work guys! I trust you again lol. read more
