    This was my second time at this establishment. Today I came with my husband and 4 boys. When we walked in, we were quickly seated but were lead to a table the manager deemed too small for us. He instructed the host to take us to a different table and then changed it again. The table we sat at was indeed big enough but had giant rips in the seat and the jagged edges kept scratching me so bad I finally got a paper towel from by the bathroom and put it on top of the rips. The paper towel got holes in it from the jagged edges. My husband got a half dozen raw oysters which he and one of my sons enjoyed. Then we split the shellfish sampler. Three of my sons got kids meals which came with so few fries I had to order an extra side of fries. My 8 year old got his chicken and fries and asked why he had such a small portion. They usually order kids meals at other locations. The shellfish boil had great flavor but I could tell they recooked the shrimp, lobster tail and 1/2 crab as the meat was not hot. It was actually cool to cold. Some of the shrimp were improperly deveined and I had to finish the job. I also noticed that the manager seemed to check on all the tables but ours... after seating us at a table with 2 ripped seats... makes me feel we were singled out for some reason and intentially given subpar service. Our server - Noel - was very good, kind and attentive. He deserves to be recognized. The rest of the service, or lack there of, cold seafood and small portions warranted a 3/5 stars.

    From the minute we walked in to the time we walked out of the doors, the experience was amazing! This was our first time and we came to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint!! Our server Robbie was phenomenal to say the least! It was busy, but he still took the time to explain things to us and to make sure we got what would be best for us. The food was amazing with great portions for the price and the taste is amazing! We would highly recommend!

    Friday night!

    The food is good but they really need to update the furniture. All the booths are super old, probably from the old Applebees and it just seems like nobody cares about the seating situation. I understand going for a grunge look but just install wooden bench booths or something because the current booths look like crap. The service is generally professional and nice. The onion rings, wings and shrimp boil is the way to go food wise. Trifecta level 3

    We went for our son's 10th birthday because it is his favorite place for birthdays and Robbie, our waiter made his dinner so special! The service was amazing and the food was delicious. This made my son's dinner and birthday. Happy hour always has great selections and you can't beat the boils. Had a great time!

    We ordered off door dash. It was easy to order. 2 Dungeons crab clusters, 10 shrimp deveined and peeled, noodles, 3 small red potatoes and 1 corn on the cob. We picked Cajun garlic sauce. It was spicy full flavor but not hot. We ordered it on New year's evening around 6:30. Pick up was super easy. Food was in a plastic bag double sealed. Cost was about $70 without tip. It was a perfect New Year's Eve meal for 2!

    Last Monday on my last day of vacation out in Phoenix, my friend took me to this restaurant that she and her family absolutely love! I let Mike know who is our server that it was my birthday celebration and he's for sure took care of me from his immediate service will be sat down to when he made suggestions on the menu for me and even doubt when he surprise me with a birthday dessert! I have not really been to too many crab places, but this one was super delicious! The portion size for the lunch menu options was on point! I was super full and I think I had a little to go box for one of my sides, but other than that I tore that bag up!The flavors and the spice level were perfect! When I come back to Phoenix, I'm definitely coming back here and I'm gonna enjoy and even bigger portion!

    There's a reason you find an Angry Crab anywhere in the valley, and that's because they are going to make a consistently great seafood boil! Portions are great, price is reasonable (for seafood!), and the spice is chefs kiss! Highly recommend ordering the hush puppies with a side of honey. Drinks were good, but you could take them or leave them because you're really coming here for that boil! Staff is super attentive and gets you everything you need. Really fun place for the family because the walls are so busy, you could play "I spy" forever.

    Angry Crab-always a staple to eating seafood with your hands. However, I'd like to showcase the service. When our waiter took our order, he asked if we wanted lemons, salt and pepper etc to enjoy with our food. Being the seafood connoisseurs we are, we said yes to the lemons. We expected maybe 4-5 wedges. This man went in the back, cut up 6-7 lemons and brought it to us. (Pic shows 1 tray, we got 3 trays) we only needed a wedge each, with 3 of us enjoying seafood. We took the rest home and made homemade lemonade, lemoncello and lemon curd. Thanks Angry Crab for the excess amount of lemons I used for so many useful things.

    We wanted to catch dinner somewhere close to where i was staying and where everyone lives. This place came up. Yummy! You know, when you get the bin and gloves.... Food was spot on, even the appetizers of fried pickles and the hush puppies! We ordered a variety of menu items. Everything was so good. We did not leave hungry. We had shrimp, Dungeness crab, sausage etc. All delicious. The sauce 3 out of 4 selected was the trifecta! Ambiance: bar like seafood boil atmosphere! Desserts? We had none. Too full. Our server was great! Always there to check on us. I saw when in the area, give it a try! Would we go back? YES!

    Please dont do business with them. I literally asked for a different sauce for my $12 appetizer and they said they would accommodate it only to charge $3. I ordered soup and it was about a 1/3 less than normal. Kinda ridiculous. I definitely wont do business with them again.

    FANTASTIC RED BEANS ANS RICE!! Add some hot sauce to it y'all and it be good!!!
    Dee B.

    Recommended by my co-worker as I'm new to the area. Very delicious food. The Hush-Puppies were so yum! I had the fish and chips and found the tartar sauce to be unique and quite good!! Maybe a bit of mustard in there?! Loved it. The red beans and rice were perfectly cooked and super good! Add a bit of hot sauce and experience a bit of nirvana. Hid and had the scallops and rice bowl which did not seem appealing by sight to me, but he said were very very good. Our server was super friendly and did a great job with our experience. For the ambiance - a little too "rustic" for me but had we had a big ole crab boil on our table, it was the perfect setting for that!!

    Love seafood so I'm always down for cajun crab boil! I'm new to AZ so I didn't know Angry Crab Shack was a well-known chain in the area and was really looking forward to trying the place out! Like most seafood shacks, they're almost ALWAYS busy. Luckily, when my friend and I got there, it wasn't a full house. The overall vibe is like every other seafood shack you go to.. looks like a ship and you can write on the poles/walls with a sharpie. We ended up getting 1lb of shrimp w/ head and 1lb snow crab-- trifecta and hot! ..as well as a side of rice & sweet potato fries! ~THE VERDICT~ FOOD: The snow crab was cooked perfectly but it seemed like the shrimp was a little overcooked to the point that the shell was harder to remove. Hot is definitely hot enough (for me) but my friend actually wanted to order the hottest level-- however, since she's an introvert, she pulled away from it because she says they usually announce it on the speaker LOL SERVICE: I feel like the services could have been improved a little as they didn't seem as attentive. We sat right next to the kitchen area and our sweet potato fries sat there for a good 15 minutes before it was given to us. My friend had even joked that she was just going to stand up and grab the fries herself HAHA The fries were a little overcooked and would have loved some sort of dip (like garlic sauce.. *hint hint*) other than ketchup. Overall, I think we'd go again but would definitely try a different location or hopefully, we'd have a better experience.

    Went out tonight to celebrate my grandson's birthday! We had Brandon for a server. My grandson name is Braydon. We couldn't have asked for a better server. Food was hot and delicious refilled constantly. It's good to see good service for a change.!! We definitely will go back!!

    Puedo reserva antes de llegar?

    I'm pretty sure. I would call and ask.

    Can you reservations?

    Hello, we accept reservations for parties of 15 or more Monday-Wednesday only. Thank you!

    Can someone please take a photo of the market prices on the main items that can be boiled in a bag, thanks? Yes, will aware market prices change. Just want a recent idea.

    You *do* realize that won't help any comparison shopping as they'll likely be different the next time you're in the restaurant? That's the whole point of a "market price".

    Is there a kid menu or options for kids?

    Yes! Totally kid friendly. The kids menu is the typical, burger, chicken fingers, etc.

    Is the dinner menu available at lunch time?

    Yes u can order anything most anytime

    Do they have a happy hour?

    Yes

We decided to take a chance, and I'm glad we did. This is definitely a unique concept. Orders are placed online or through the drive-thru kiosk, and everything is cashless--you simply tap your card to pay. There isn't a dining room or seating area, so it's more of a grab-and-go experience. We ordered the warm lobster rolls with butter, and they did not disappoint. The butter comes conveniently packaged on the side, making it easy to spread over the roll. The lobster was flavorful, the roll was delicious, and the value for the price was outstanding. We enjoyed it so much that we immediately told our family members who live in the area that they needed to check it out for themselves. If you're looking for a tasty lobster roll without spending a fortune, this spot is definitely worth a visit!

The concept is really fun and unique. When you walk in, you scan a QR code at your table to place your order, if you need help they are there to help you, and your meal is brought to your table in a boiling hot pot that continues to cook your food. I ordered the vegetable hot pot with lamb on the side, my daughter got the kimchi dumpling hot pot, and her friend ordered the seafood hot pot. Everything came out steaming hot, fresh, and full of flavor. If you need more broth, they're happy to bring you extra. The atmosphere is calm, and relaxing, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. They also serve complimentary green tea, which was such a nice touch. It reminded me of going to Chinese restaurants as a kid when they would bring hot tea to the table. It brought back wonderful memories. The regular size was more than enough food for me, and the staff were incredibly welcoming, kind, and quick to prepare and serve everything. I definitely recommend Tasty Pot if you're looking for a comforting, flavorful meal and a fun dining experience. I'll definitely be back again!

This is not like the typically hot pot spots where they bring you the broth and meats/veggies separately to cook yourself. You pick a "soup" premade and it comes to your table in a hot clay pot. It's a bit heavier broth. Definitely not what my taste buds enjoy. However my husband liked it. I don't think I'll dine here again only because I prefer the cook myself experience, simple ingredients, and lighter broth.
