I love this place. Tasty! Get the crab legs .. they won't disappoint. I didn't love the clams (were a bit rubbery) but I think that's what you have to expect living in Arizona.... the atmosphere is fun and inviting with an eclectic crowd of people. It's great to come here with groups or even grab a beer at the bar by yourself and munch of some tasty crab legs! Definitely one of my favorite spots in the area! read more

This was my first visit to the Angry Crab! I was visiting my daughter at college. Walking in started with a warm greeting by very pleasant staff! Then our wait staff Brittany arrived made us feel right and Home, also was very excited it was our first time there. She was helpful with explanations of dishes as well as price by the pound information. Service was awesome, fun atmosphere and the food did not disappoint! We will definitely be back! read more

The food is awesome... service is hit or miss, though it is a true team effort!! The place can be so loud it distracts from being able to enjoy your meal. 2nd time here and it went from good to eh. read more

Chris the GM was amazing!!!!!!!! And Greg is an awesome server! Very clean place and good food (:

Such great flavor, and an amazing selection. Their prices are awesome for seafood, too. We love to come back here again and again.

I stop in here for lunch during the week and food is always great I had the shrimp my first visit and mussels on my most recent visit. Service has been great both times! I know I will be back again soon for some bbq! read more

Islam was so nice! Food came out quick, service was efficient...and it was delicious. Whenever we're in town, we'll definitely stop by again. read more

Very good meal with very good service. My wife had seafood and I had barbecue. We liked it all.

Ordered to go again a few weeks ago, and sent my husband to get the food. He said everything was normal.

Best crab we have ever had. Great service. Cool environment. And football to keep spouses entertained. Nothing else to say.

Love love Love! Angry Crab transports you to a different place where you're seaside eating your crab legs and shrimp. Love the bar staff and love the food! read more

Awesome place to eat. Similar to other seafood bag restraints but his had some awesome BBQ to go with it. I had the brisket and ribs with a lb of shrimp. We were starving and still couldn't finish the meal. Briskets melts in your mouth and normally I would not pass up the great rib but the brisket stole the show. Shrimp was cooked well and tasted great. Cost was reasonable. There was a bar and a lot of people celebrating birthdays. It is a family environment. Definitely would return for the brisket. read more

This is now and will always be the best seafood restaurant in Arizona. Celeste gave us the best service that we have ever had at a restaurant. You will not be disappointed to come and dine in this wonderful restaurant. read more

I've never been to Hot n Juicy so I can't really compare. I came here for the first time last night and was surprised at how busy it was at 9PM still. We put our name on the list and sat down at the bar, about 20 minutes later we were seated. So, not too bad of a wait. I was immediately surprised at how loud it was, and the music was I guess fitting for the environment but definitely not my cup of tea. Our sever Coral was sweet, we ordered a 1/2 lb of brisket with hush puppies and coleslaw, and a 1 lb bag of crab legs with three potatoes and a bag of veggies. The amount of brisket was amazing, and pretty tasty. The hush puppies were the table favorite. Then out came our bag of seafood! I got the trifecta, and a 1 level of spice. The crab legs were delicious, and the potatoes were perfectly cooked. I think the spice level was a little low for me, it still had delicious flavor but I will go to a 2 next time. I think what annoyed me most was the music was super loud, where I was screaming at my date and then I think every time someone does a level 5 or whatever they set off alarms which are also ridiculously loud. The food was good, service was pretty good (though the timing wasn't great and I got a pen that leaked ink all over me in the end) the ambiance wasn't my favorite though. I think also the benches need to be wiped down too because we were seated at a really greasy booth with hand prints all over. I will be back because it's the central location to me, but probably during the day or something to see how it is! read more

My girlfriend hated it. She had to dig her meal (as I did) out of a plastic bag or dump it on the table. Kinda a self service at full service prices. Looks dirty & Dumpy inside with all the writing , written on everything except the ceiling. Set up like a noisy high school cafeteria. Not fun for us. Food is average the bbq even worse . Not a pleasant dining experience , Won't be back read more

The place is awesome! ! The food, service and atmosphere is spot on!! Try it out! You will not be disappointed, and a great value too! read more

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

Service horrible.. I had to ask for menu's?? Skinny bartender chick kept wiping her sniffles, don't know if she was sick or on drugs?? Either way she shouldn't have been handling food! Disgusting. Ordered beef brisket and my friend ordered catfish. My beef brisket came out 10 minutes after my friend got his food. (We ordered together). AND THE BEEF SANDWICH WAS COLD!! Wt f?!! We told the bartender and she offered to bring another 1. But at this point I lost my appetite. They still charged me for it. I will never step a foot in there again. read more

Every time I eat here, I love it more. The wait to get a table at times is made up for the quickness of the kitchen. We even had a manager hunt down napkins for us when we didn't have one on our table. Love this location! I love the trifecta sauce and the food is always amazing! I would give more stars if possible. read more

Overall I'm upset with this location. My girlfriend and I have been loyal to this location for quite some time. And we go here because the food is fantastic, but we will no longer be going to this location due to a lack of customer service. Though some employees do their exceptionally well, others do not carry out the same energy. Rude, short and sometimes unhelpful is not what we're accustomed to. What set it off mostly was that in July 1st, we tried calling the store a number of times, 5-7 to be more exact, and we have only one answer. This one and only time they answered the phone, no one even said anything, they just simply hung up. This caused us to drive to a location, all the way out in Mesa. Which is a huge inconvenience since we live in the Scottsdale area. I would not recommend my family to go to that location, but to go to another with more friendly service and one that would actually like to answer the phone. read more

I came here with my sister today and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed! Crab was really fresh and tasty. We got the dungenous crab with the trifecta sauce. We also got the snow crab legs. If you like spicy be careful because they are very spicy and hotter than normal recipes! The inside is exactly what I expect when I go to a Louisiana style crab restaurant. Overall I would go again, the atmosphere was really fun and upbeat. The food was great. If it's you're birthday you get a free dessert. The only negative comment I have to say is if it's your "birthday" they yell and sound the siren they play over the entire restaurant and it's obnoxious and loud and tonight .. it seemed to be everyone's birthday haha. read more

Flew in for the weekend and wanted some seafood for lunch, got off the plane and looked this place up. I frequent The Boiling Crab in Sacramento where I live and this place had the same idea. Say at the bar, and the bartender Freja took great care of me. Extremely attentive and knowledgeable. I ordered the shrimp and sausage at level 3, and she told me about their level 6, so I ordered it on the side. The 3 was great but if you like a little more heat get the 6, I mixed the whole thing in my bag and it was awesome. Definitely recommend this place. Also a great place to watch games, tons of TVs. Will definitely be back! read more

I was in town on business & was looking for a spot with great food, what I found was a goldmine. Everything was great, even the servers

Delicious! Trifecta sauce and shrimp is the bomb.com. Eat here, it's that good people.

Oh man love this place what can you say fun, great food, lively. They have full bar and beers on tap. Eats with your hands and a bib. Not for the clean knife and fork eater for sure. Great place for birthday. Be warned its loud the music the people for me it just makes it a fun place to go and eat foods great. Fun date place highly recommend to try this place you will be back read more

Wasn't sure about this place because of some of the reviews. I came in and sat at the bar. The bartender Destiny was so helpful and nice. I had the shrimp and snow crab. It was very good and I will be back! Btw having your bartenders stand on the bar to put up alcohol is very unsafe. Please get them a ladder. read more

No clams, no crawfish, no blue crab. We were told mussels were out and yet, a bag of it was brought to our table after they said they didn't have it w/o the corn, potatoes, and sausage we asked for. The shrimp was soooo good. They were huge and juicy. Mostly the only thing salvaging this review. We got the Trifecta level 3, mild. The rest of the food was alright. Not great. My gumbo tasted like Progresso brand beef and vegetable soup. My dad and boyfriend's dishes came with the tiniest sliver of cornbread and for how much their meat dishes were, the portion wasn't great. The calamari was delectible. Other than that, I will never come on a Monday again. They were out of everything. read more

Out of all the angry crabs this is my favorite. Feels spacious, clean, food is good. I had crawfish and king crab trifecta medium. Service was awesome thanks Coral. read more

Seafood and BBQ at one spot!? Whoever thought of this concept is a genius!!! The pacific rim sauce was fantastic. It's basically a light coconut curry sauce. I would recommend it with mussels or clams. And get fresh oysters, shrimp or crab legs in either the trifecta or garlic sauce. They're a must! read more

One of the more fun places to casually experience the splendors of the sea. There are enough options to satisfy most appetites and the prices are very reasonable. Probably best to go and order as a group as you have to commit to a full lb of whatever you order. It would be nice if you could mix and match in 1/2lb increments. read more

Met up here for UYE and so happy I did. The food here is delicious. Choices include country boils of shrimp, crab, mussels, clams with additions of sausage and potatoes. There are several choices and levels of spice with the heat ranging from mild to wow. I had shrimp, clams and sausage with the trifecta sauce at spice level 3. Very tasty! I also had some plump, delicious Gulf oysters and tasted the charred oysters that someone at the table ordered. Unfortunately they were out of the crab. All of the boiled items are sold by the pound. The boils are prepared and delivered to your table in individual plastic bags, complete with the sauce. Eating your selection is messy but it sure is tasty. There is a good selection of draft beers and I believe their is also a full bar. The dessert selection is rather skimpy. Some of us headed for the dessert section of the nearby Whole Food store to satisfy our sweet tooth. It's a good thing that I don't live closer to Angry Crab, because I would be there a couple times a week. As Arnold said, "I'll be back". If you enjoy country boils and crustaceans you've got to try this place. read more

Worth the wait. Staff is great. Making my mouth salivate. Yes, that was cheesy, but this place is awesome!

I'm not sure who decided to combine a southern style seafood restaurant with a BBQ joint but that man deserves some sort of humanitarian award for his efforts in making stomachs and taste buds very excited. Came here with my girlfriend on a Saturday night after hearing great reviews from other yelpers. We did have about a 45 minute wait but it was well worth it and kind of fun to track using the app they use. I got the shrimp with sausage, potatoes, corn and the trifecta sauce medium spicy. My girlfriend got the snow crab with trifecta sauce mild. Everything was fantastic and thank god we got the warning from the waiter that the spices run hot as even the medium gave me a nice little burn without impacting flavor. The flavors were fantastic and there is just something fun about getting all that juicy goodness by peeling your food by hand and dunking in the sauce. My only gripe was that my shrimp were over cooked just enough to get a bit mealy. The corn was fantastic and just absorbed all the butter it was cooked in and the trifecta sauce making for a ton of flavor that hits your taste buds in a rush. The potatoes were good as well and what you expect. The Now you're probably asking yourself about the BBQ I mentioned and why I haven't discussed that, the answer is I was saving the best for last. Much like we did with our meal where we pushed the BBQ to the side while the seafood took the focus. In hindsight waiting may have been a mistake. We ordered a 1/2lbs of the pulled pork along with some corn bread and man was it good. Not only was it good it was it good it was some of the best pulled pork I have had, and not just in AZ. While not quite on par with my favorites in St. Louis it also wasn't far being either. Was not dried out, had a great smokey flavor while other subtleties of the spice rub used came through. Not to mention that was the biggest 1/2lbs pile of meat I have seen. The BBQ sauce was good as well but not even needed and that says a lot from a sauce lover like me. The cornbread was also great not too mealy and just the right level of sweetness. I will be back at Angry Crab soon for more delicious goodness especially when it felt like we dined like kings and queens for a very reasonable price. read more

Being this was our first visit the server was very thorough and detailed about their menu. Ordered king crab, snow crab, and shrimp. The traditional boil was well spiced at the level we desired. The trifecta was EXCELLENT! Super buttery, full flavored garlic without the large chunks or being overbearing. It was nice to eat this Cajun seafood and not smell of it all day long, unlike many other restaurants similar. The quality of the king crab was great... The shells crack and break, not bend. The meat on the ends are white. The pound seems to be true to weight. They provide a bucket for your shells. The paper for the table is waxy so it doesn't not easily tear through when wet. Great overall. read more

Fresh seafood in a casual setting! I've never had a bad experience, always a fun place to visit and bring people who have never been! Very good prices for what you get! Crab legs and shrimp my fave!!!!!!!! Gets messy but they will provide bibs and gloves! read more

I love seafood and eat it often, we tried this spot on a Friday evening. Stopped in ordered a to go for 2 adults and a toddler. I ordered a lb of shrimp in a bag with sausage potatoes and a side of frog legs, I ate frog legs quite often back in CA in my younger days. So the shrimp were great, big and firm but the frog legs were as my toddler would say "yucky",I could tell they were from a lake or something muddy they tasted like I had just swallowed a mouth full of muddy water. I had my hopes up on introducing new food to my bf and he couldn't stomach it. Besides everything being fried, our fave were the shrimp and andoullie sausage. read more

We had an excellent lunch! The Cod Angry basket was perfect for our 2 young kids to share and my hubs and I each enjoyed a pound of snow crab. The garlic seasoning was pretty good but the garlic mixed with Pacific Rim was amazing! I'll get that next time. MADYSON was a wonderful server and paid special attention to each of our children, which allowed us a few minutes of time to focus on our own meals. She even took the girls to see the crabs & lobsters in the tank! read more

I love seafood and Bloody Marys I get both of those things here! The seafood here is always fresh and I feel like i'm close to the ocean whenever I eat here. Don't wear super nice clothes here because you might splatter on yourself! And its a first come first serve basis so if you get there late you might miss out on some tasty blue crab! read more

Absolutely love this place! This is one of the places I like to frequent, you can't go wrong with any item on the menu but I do in particular love getting the king crab and the corn. This place is unlike any other seafood place you've ever been to. I highly recommend trying this place out if you have never been before. read more

The family took me here for my birthday. It was a perfect choice since the granddaughter wanted to draw and they have butcher paper on the tables and plenty of crayons. The menu and concept is really interesting. We started with spicy fried clams which I would gave liked tartar sauce for. I had the lobster with traditional boil and no heat. It came HUGE in a bag steamed perfectly with a nice amount of heat. The corn on the cob was good and so was my Big Easy Cocktail. The hubby had the crab and sausage and enjoyed them. My kids had oyster po'boys wgich were quite ample. The DIL gad brisket which she declared tender and when sampled made my son want to cry. It was a nice casual and messy meal for the whole family. The best part of the night was learning I will be a grandmother again! read more

Best spot in Phoenix for crab legs and oysters! I'm disappointed that they have been shorting the sauce they cook crab legs in but could just be the cook at the moment. Also charred oysters are incredible but call ahead because the other day they were out and I went mainly for that. Even with those little issues I'm still giving 5 stars because it's simply the best! read more
