The service here is horrible. Thus is my second time trying this place and I have to say it was just as bad as the first time. My order took forever while my friend received his food and was eating for 20 minutes. When y order came it.was lobster and I ordered crab. So they had to re do it again. Then when it arrived it was the wrong seasoning. I won't be going back it was very expensive. For those prices I.can go to a great steak house and have my food and service on point. read more

Delicious and fresh food, amazing beer selections. Yes, it's true, most of the food is fried and probably unhealthy as all get out-but who cares when it tastes this good? I had the soft shelled crab, and my friend had fish and chips. DELICIOUS. Well, maybe the coleslaw could use a new recipe...but the potato salad made up for it. read more

I LOVE this place. Not only is crab one of my favorite things to eat, I love the variety of flavors to choose and spice level. I also love that you get your own bag. Really fun. I always get the snow crab with sausage and the legs are HUGE. Not your typical snow crab. The veggies are also a great addition. Real veggies, not just corn and potatoes. We have the crocodile bites and they were good- tasted like chicken . Very fun atmosphere but it can be loud and they don't take reservations so be prepared to wait. Have a few drinks and enjoy the fun. The waitstaff is really fun! read more

Terrible service!!!! My first time and and definitely my last!! The food isn't good enough to put up with bad customer service.

Love the food and stuff. Randi, Ralph and Anna just to name a few. Please try this place one time and you will feel like it is a home away from home with out the high price. read more

We had dinner there tonight. The food was delicious, and the server Natalie was the best!!! She was attentive, and friendly. I would request her area the next time that I go. I always enjoy going there. read more

Angry Crab is amazing! Hannah was amazing. Attentive and a wonderful server!! this location is definitely my favorite! They have great servers and the energy is always fun. read more

Cool concept, but they are obviously still working some kinks out. The good: food was smoked nicely and had good flavor. Bar has a decent selection of beers to go along with the full bar menu. Typical open stile floor plan. Not a place for a quiet romantic dinner... The bad: The menu is confusing and disjointed at best. Not to mention poorly done. The spicing of the sauces is irregular and the staff says that the heat levels are off. Best plan would be to order no spice and have the sauces on the side. I like spicy food, but the "mild" completely over powered the smoke flavor. Easily this place could be a 4 or a 5, or drop down to a two when and if they can work those kinks out. read more

This place is so fun to eat at. Eating with your hands and making a huge mess is definitely the way to go. I ordered the king crab (1 lb) with medium trifecta sauce with potatoes and corn. It was delicious and the flavors were on point. The potato is small, so if you want, order a few. They also give you a rock and scissors to help get the meat out of the shell. I highly suggest the trifecta sauce. I think the medium spice level wasn't too hot but still super flavorful. The mild wasn't as flavorful in my opinion. But regardless, I would eat anything with that sauce. Overall, it's a place for good company and great food. I will be back for more. Also for you Pokemon masters, there's a gym here! read more

Great food and even better service! Natalie was the best, helpful and knowledgeable about the menu, thank you Natalie

Went there with a big group. The wait time was spot on with what they told us. Plenty of fun atmosphere to keep you entertained while you wait. Service was great. Our big group took time to decide and they were patient and also attentive. Food was really tasty. Most of us got the shrimp boil in a bag. This was just like the meals our family always eat at the beach. Great flavor and a good amount of food. Others had pork sandwiches and enjoyed them too. We will definitely return. read more

This is a place I go to quite frequently but yesterday night was a bummer. I usually go alone and sit at the bar. I always get the snow crab but yesterday I added lobster to spice things up a bit. The crab you could tell was not fresh at all, had a fishey taste to it. Even the lobster was sticking to its own shell, which is something I haven't seen before. The trifecta sauce was a bit too salty. Ben begins the bar was AMAZING so I'm giving this review 3 stars by just pure service. I'm always treated with the best service there. I hoping it was a fluke, but it's just sad to spend 50$ on a meal that was not the freshest most delicious meal that I consider Cajon boils to be. read more

Food and service is awesome!!! Ask for Ayden, thank me later!!! Everything is fresh and came out in a timely manner!

I am from Atlanta and I really wanted some seafood, came across Angry Crab Shack on Yelp. I am glad I found this place. Food was good and Ayden as my server was GREAT!!!! When in town I will definitely come back and ask for Ayden! read more

Angry Crab is the best !!!!! Always a great time when coming here and the food is always good. Shane was our server and he was super funny and very attentive. Definitely will be coming back in the future! read more

This place had an excellent atmosphere. I definitely didn't feel like I was in Phoenix AZ! Everything was great from the food to the service. Our server was Ben and he did a fantastic job. I highly recommend this place to everyone! Thanks for being awesome! And writing on the walls are fun.. read more

Food was just okay but the service was horrible. Finished a beer before food came - not an issue. Almost done with the meal before Taylor came back. Passed on additional drinks. Finally got something to crack the king crab legs ( half the table was done by then). Got the hush puppies at the same time as the check. No apology. Nada. And then we were forced to pay 18% tip because our two little girls (6 and 7) made us a party of 6. We won't be going back. Bummed. read more

Tonite I went the shrimp scrawny not their usual service very disappointed. I've gone to the Mesa location & OMG big juicy shrimp & snow crab this time I was very disappointed. The shrimp scrawny she'll was stuck to the shrimp. I felt like the hoodwinked me this was just bad. Not happy at all. read more

First and Foremost- if you are reading this review I'm going to tell you now, quit debating! Bring your friends and family in and get ready to have the feast of your life!!!- I am incredibly happy that they opened this location! I brought my fiancé here for his birthday back in October, and had my heart set on coming back this past Friday for mine as well!!! :) I totally love this place! The best cooked Crab Legs, Lobster, gator nuggets and Fried Oysters!!!! Love the LVL 4 seasonings!! Even the level 5, was amazing!! You guys have the best service, and are very friendly!!! I am happy and proud to say that I have now found my "Go to" Place for Seafood! This place puts all places to shame!! It is safe to say that Joes Crab Shack has lost a long time customer!! The cooks in charge, are to die for!!!! Way to go guys! The Quantity and Quality are properly priced. My kids were over satisfied with their chicken tender baskets and were brave enough to try the appetizers & they loved it! They are requesting to come back for Christmas dinner!! So I hope you guys are going to be up for service!!! Red Velvet Cake was delicious! Overall money well spent! Next time, I'll try the coctails. ;) *In my Profession, I come across a lot of people, and will always STRONGLY recommend THE ANGRY CRAB SHACK!!!!* We'll be seeing you again Very Soon! :) read more

Complete waste of time, half the menu was sold out but didn't bother to tell us till after we waited over an hour. Finally when our food did come some of it was cold and had a strong fishy odor! Spoiled! Sent it back and left! WILL NEVER COME BACK! Outrageous prices for low quality. read more

Great service despite being understaffed. Food very good for the price. Fish boil was great, with great choices, as was the gumbo.

Okay, where to start? We love this place, at this location alone I would bet we have spent at least $1,000. I want to say 4 to 5 stars for ALMOST all of our experiences. The weakest point is they cannot seem to bring all of the table orders out at the same time, nine out of ten fails. Have you ever gone to dinner and watch everyone eat practically all of their food and yours doesn't arrive? Me neither...until today! We went for an early dinner (3:45 PM ish) and my wife ordered a shrimp boil bag and I ordered a blue crab po' boy with an onion ring upgrade. Wife gets her food about 13-15 mins. in. No po' boy. Our server was Destiny, very kind and friendly, comes by about 8 mins. later and says I'm checking on your food, a another 10 mins. or so...she comes by says it should be ready, I said just cancel the order. 2 mins. later she drops off my food and says she spoke with the manager and she was going to comp the meal! That was a nice gesture...but, my sandwich was inedible due to how burnt it was. I ate two onion rings for dinner. Destiny returned and asked if the manager came by, she/he had not. She let us know her shift was over, but the manager was going to take care of the bill for us. This is where my biggest complaint comes in...the manager ghosted us! Did not come by, bill delivered by our busboy(??) and they did remove my meal. We would have appreciated a visit...maybe an apology...maybe a plea to not let this experience dissuade us from EVER coming back? Poor choice by the manager on duty, who could apparently use some training on customer service/retention. Hopefully, just one horrible experience. Hopefully, they can sort out bringing the entire tables food more timely. We will go back...we will keep eating at the Ahwatukee location as well, we enjoy the food when we get it! read more

I have made it a goal that every time I leave the state of Utah I will try and see if that state has a Cajun crab boil spot. Of course Arizona had one and this place did not disappoint. Utah bucket of Crawfish still is #1 in my heart but this place is a solid 1.5 The fact that you can get king crab legs and lobster just blew my mind. We ordered the snow crab legs and the crab was just amazing! The sauce was good but I still love my crab boil location (in Utah). Beware the spice though. I cant take super spicy and the mild was very spicy for me. I would like to give this place 4 stars because we also ordered the fried catfish basket and it was not good at all. read more

Oh. My. Goodness! I was invited to this place on a first date. I didn't know what to expect. When my date began to explain the menu to me, my first thought was, this is going to be messy. The meat options that interested me were, snow crab, shrimp, fish and king crab. My date and waitress recommended that I try the trifecta sauce since I was a first timer. I went with the snow crab (in trifecta sauce) since it was much less expensive than the king crab. King crab was $30 a lbs!!! I had the option of adding red potatoes and corn on the cob to the snow crab which I did. When our food came out, I was surprised that our respective food orders were in tightly sealed plastic bags. When I opened my bag, the delicious aroma flowed out. Wow! I opened my bag by foldeding over the sides of the bag. I looked around the table for my silverware wondering how I was going to eat this delicious smelling food using table etiquette Emily Post would be proud of. As I was thinking my date said, "Just put your hand in the bag." Relieved, I put my hand in and grabbed a red potatoe, bit in and unknownly let out a mmmmm. Yes, it was perfect. I then moved on to the corn on the cob. Equally delicious. As I was reaching for my snow crab, wondering how I would crack the shell with couth, my date said, "You have trifecta sauce all over your face." Embarrassing!!! He sensed my embarassment and said, "It's okay. You're really cute making all those noises when you eat." Hahaa. At that point I figured I was safe to really dig in to this crab. As I dug in, cracking the shell of my crab, sauce and shell pieces flew all over us. We laughed and enjoyed the drinks and atmosphere of this location. It was messy despite using the plastic green bibs provided to us. The food was amazing and filling. Being an old school gentleman, my date paid for our meal and drinks so I cannot comment on the total pricing of our dinner. I can say, I will definitely be visiting Angry Crab again! For those of you wondering, yes, there is a second date scheduled! Score!! read more

This is my new favorite seafood restaurant. Shirley and I had the shrimp garlic and the lemon snow crab. It was just amazing!!! Our waitress Hannah was 6 out of 5 stars. She showed us a better better way to get the most of the crab. Other staff talked with us. Shirley said the food was better than seafood restaurant we went to in Hawaii. Next will stop and just get the garlic shrimp so we can have room for dessert read more

I'm indifferent about this place. I don't love it and I don't hate it. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here though. I've been to some great seafood places. We came here with friends and it was fun but the beer selection was lacking and I wasn't impressed. I've been to places that had better seafood and the same concept so I feel almost spoiled by better places in San Diego, LA and Seattle. Although, if you've never been to one of these you should definitely go to just experience it. read more

Had a wonderful experience. The food is amazing and the service is exceptional. Was not disappointed by the crab legs or the shrimp. I would definitely recommend trying this place. read more

Waited for an hour and a half for a table. Finally left and went somewhere else. The people who were eating looked like they were enjoying it. Can't fault them for being so busy. 4 stars because people who were leaving had huge smiles on their faces. The staff was great to us while we waited. Really wish I could have had some. haha read more

First off i thought the food was great but the better than that was our server her name was Christine and let me tell you she was GREAT AMAZING ..she was all over the place as it was a very busy night i know we were not her only table but we never had to ask anyone else for one single thing she was on FIRE really wonderful food drinks great but if you want to be treated the way you should be when going out and paying for your dinner go the the Angry Crab Phoenix location and sit in Christine's section she makes the dinner even better Thank you read more

Boils are amazing, some of the best I've ever had, Highly recommend! Shrimp was very supple and juicy, the trifecta sauce was a perfect blend of flavors for the seafood. Definitely worth the money. The inside of the restaurant was very aesthetically pleasing. read more

This place is simply amazing. You walk in and can immediately feel the great energy in both the people who work there and with the customers. My friend and I didn't get the huge bag-o-awesome they have, but we were extremely impressed at how well they seem to cook and season everything. I went with the brisket and nearly cried as I took the first bite. It simply melted in my mouth. And the taste? Forget about it. I could have been on fire and not noticed because of how delicious it was. Hopefully I'll be hungry enough next time to get a whole crab or lobster, but for about $25 per person, including a custom coctail and a local beer you won't find a better place to hand over your well earned greenbacks. Will be going back at least once every week or so. read more

Love this place..Food is very tasty. Huge jumbo shrimp,can't ask for any better. The Cat fish basket is awesome...Good friendly atmosphere. Our waitress was very cool as well..Will I be back ..umm recognize... definitely read more

This place was a total dump when we came on New Years Eve. There were kids screaming everywhere and our waitress didn't tell us they were out of fries until after I had already finished eating the crappy shrimp basket I ordered. It was fun when I came here a few months ago, but I like at least a little bit of consistency and I would not risk coming here again. read more

BEST seafood in AZ I had I pound of softshell crab and 1 pound of lobster. I had the garlic and mild spice. It was so delicious. I had Ben as my server he was awesome and my 2 year old kept taking my bib and he continued to Bring me one as well as tie it as my hands were full. My drink was never empty and he cleaned off my table all threw my meal and i totally appreciate that. The staff was very helpful, kind and very attentive. I will be back thanks for an amazing meal. read more

Went here the other day and had the BEST crab legs seasoned in a bag & the BEST server, Shelby, who made the whole experience complete. It's hard to find great customer service now a days but this place you can tell loves their customers. I will be back soon read more

I love this place! Way better than their other location in mesa! Friendly people and great food! The atmosphere here is way better also because there's more room. This one has bbq and the other doesn't. Had the brisket with the sides of potato salad and coleslaw. Mmmm mmmm good. I just got done eating here and writing this makes me hungry again. I guess I have ten stomach.. Also ordered 3 pounds of crawfish with medium trifecta sauce. Had sausages inside mixed with the crawfish inside the bag and ordered rice as well. So delicious I will be back here even though it's always crowded. It is worth the wait!! read more

I think I would've given this place three stars if it were not literally across the street from my home. My threshold for four star review is whether or not I will return. Came here with my wife to test it out since we were waiting for quite some time for it to open. After some confusion about the opening date and a review removed by yelp for commenting on my negative initial experience with the angry crap (yelp stating that they're open my going there and being disappointed in a night without barbecue), I was able to give the anchor crab a real chance. My wife and I shared the barbecue meat platter. Which was incredibly tasty albeit for the small portions. It came with two sides, but you can only choose from two of the three picnic sides- coleslaw baked beans and potato salad. The more scrumptious sides were unavailable. Again the portions were very small and despite it being almost $20, both of us left hungry. We also ordered a side of french fries (3$). This was a great size portion and the fries were actually really good too. I ordered a drink as well. It was a spiked lemonade with ice tea (an upgraded Arnold Palmer). It costed $10 and was served in a tiny little mason jar. I can't tell if it had no alcohol in it or if it was loaded with sugar but it didn't taste like it were a virgin. A couple things the place can improve upon would also include the menu. It was really confusing had to be explained because it's a bunch of arrows pointing in different directions. Now that I've been there once, it won't be a problem. But when you combine it with the loud acoustics I had an angry crab of a headache. read more
