    Build your own boil
    Aliyah J.

    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.

    Not even a cup

    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.

    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!

    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!!

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

    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.

    If I could give 10 stars I would. Great service, awesome fresh crab, and friendly fun staff. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!

    Not a seafood person. My brother likes this place and celebrated his birthday here. We got the appetizer sample and the hush puppies and onion rings were good. We also got wings they were good too. We got the spicy chicken sandwich and burger. It was good the first few bites then not so much. My brother got the boil.

    Family feast
    Rosie B.

    Came here for lunch with my nephew and kids. We love seafood boils. We were greeted and seated upon entering. Our server was very nice but she did look overwhelmed. There were quite a few patrons there already. I think I only saw three people running around trying to keep up with all of the customers. The service was slow but it did look like they were under staffed. So not holding that against them, not the servers fault. Now onto the food, we ordered the family feast. It was delicious. I've been here before and have been disappointed with their sausage but this time they were OK. This place is very chill with sports playing in the background. We will come back when we're craving seafood.

    Angry Crab has perfect shrimp shack atmosphere. Adequate service and great bags of seafood goodie's. But bring your wallet, it ain't cheap.

    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 had a reservation for seven and they had a table waiting for us. It was a very, very busy evening, better server was right there taking our order and giving us updates. I absolutely love Cajun food, and I have really enjoyed everything I've ever eaten here. We got kind of a variety of items from the menu, starting with the amazing hush puppies. I just love the horseradish sauce that it served with! The evening went smoothly with good food and good service. They also have always had live blues music when we've gone, which I really like. There are other seafood places that call themselves cajun, but Baby Kay's is not a seafood restaurant that's Cajun, it's more of a Cajun restaurant that has seafood. If you come here on a Friday or saturday, I really advise a reservation, which can be made by calling the restaurant.

We shared the shrimp po boy w/ fries and the rice & beans with sausage. We also had a side salad that came with the rice & beans. All in all everything was good. We would come back and try some other things, including the crawfish. Staff was friendly, and service was quick.

I believe they have changed management recently, or in the past few years. Although the sauce remains delicious, the food quality seems to be falling, and I see that they have a few food safety violations listed on their Yelp. The garlic noodles were swimming in the watery sauce, and the Cajun fries were not tossed, just sprinkled on top. The restaurant has never been that busy when we go, and there is usually is only one server doing all the hosting, food running, and waitressing. Ours seemed to be a little stressed today, and did not refill our drinks as much as we would've preferred, and forgot things like our salt and pepper. We will probably still keep coming just for that sauce, but looks like the restaurant has a few things to work out to bring back its former glory.
