I love this place, they use REAL seafood like you would see in any restaurant, look past the fast food part of this place and I love it. A few things to consider though: They KNOW the seafood is messy, so they give you gloves to eat it with a little basket to help you, but it's still messy so wear clothes you're gonna wash the next day or don't care about This place is a lot like being a fisherman and eating on the dock after a nice time fishing out in the sea. read more

We came here on a weeknight with some friends who are really big fans. We were looking forward to trying it. This place is super casual. The people are friendly, and the food is good. Our group particularly likes the clam chowder, the gumbo, and the fried calamari. The shrimp bowl was really good read more

Great food. Wonderful drinks. Crappy service. Took 15 minutes to get silverware. Never came back to refill drinks. Acted like we were bothering her as we placed our order. I never understand a place that does not put emphasis on service. No matter how good the food is, I would think twice about coming back due to the service. read more

Angry Crab Shack - Tropical Storm (delicious) and special Bloody Mary. - Seafood Near Me - San Tan Valley, Arizona

Always a fun good dinner to have with the family. The kids love it! The servers are friendly while maintaining quick service!

We moved to Queen Creek in 2022 and have patronized this location since then. The food was very good until summer 2025. Wondering if private equity took over the operation? The food has been really terrible since then - joke of a caesar salad that was all croutons, Parmesan, and dressing- almost no lettuce. The gumbo had no flavor and was "mushy" - likewise for the fried catfish and fried oysters. Seems like the staff does not care about quality at all. The food they served us should never have left the kitchen. Just gross. read more

The food is always good but their service is awful they are so rude here my kid is allergic to seafood and they wouldn't allow him to eat his sandwich read more

Very goodI went to this place on my bday with 2 friends and my sister.I got the 1 pound snow crab and a dr.pepper. It was amazing, but it was kind of pricey. read more

Our family brought us here for dinner since we were visiting for my sister's birthday weekend. Service was great! We had the calamari for appetizers - normally I don't like the calamari nuggets but these ones were flavorful. We also got the sampler as well and the fried shrimp and fried pickles were amazing! We got the Boil for TWO option that comes with: King crab, head-off shrimp, snow crab, 1 lobster tail, corn, red potatoes, and sausage. It was messy as expected but the Cajun seasoning was so delicious! Our server was great as well. Would definitely come back again :) read more

Great foods! Love the soft shell crabs but on the pricey side. can't do it as often as I would love to

King crab was tiny red crab, not actually king crab. The snow crab was actually better. The seafood here is not worth the price. They changed the recipe on the seasoning sauce some time ago. It's oily now not buttery. I hope you like their sauce, as it's the only thing you're going to taste eating the seafood. Red crab shell so soft you need to cut with scissors. For me a whole disappointment. The service was great. The waitress was friendly and joked with us which I like. I really like the vibe here, but the food is bottom tier seafood, buffet quality crab.... Honestly I was at the casino earlier in the day I WISH I would have just ate there, all you can eat crab for $60 a person. I dropped $190 with Angry Crab, just to get inferior king crab and some funky lobster that's given me diarrhea from hell. read more

Overall a great restaurant. Just like all of their locations the food is great. It's a seafood boil. They serve the food in a bag. You get to choose the spice level. My go to is trifecta level 3. I highly recommend the snow crab and add on sausage and potatoes. For those with less adventurous taste buds they have typical stuff like burgers and fries. The bar menu is pretty good. Definitely get a spicy Bloody Mary. It's served with a crab leg in it. The food is really messy but they provide gloves and a bib. Notwithstanding, don't wear anything white (or nice). I personally prefer the original location in Mesa on Alma School but that's largely because of the atmosphere and patio. This location is in a new strip mall and seems a little inauthentic, but if you live in the San Tan/QC area this'll do. Minor complaint: the chairs are terrible. They are small little light weight metal chairs and the seats are angled forward so you're constantly sliding out. read more

Our family was craving the taste of seafood so we stopped by this new location. It was definitely a lot less crowded than the Mesa location so there wasn't much of a wait. Service was average in that the server wasn't all that friendly and she didn't check on us that often. At least our order was correct. The menu is about the same as the other franchise locations for Angry Crab. I would have preferred actual prices foe items rather than just "market" price. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal and left satisfied. The place is very casual. You pretty much eat with your hands so don't come dressed too fancy. We're glad to have an Angry Crab in the QC area and one where we don't have to wait an hour to be seated! read more

Every year, we visit San Tan Valley for Country Thunder, and we often struggle to find places to eat. This year, we debated going to Angry Crab Shack due to some mixed reviews. Living in Southern California, we frequently visit numerous crab places, so we were unsure of what to expect from crab and shrimp in Arizona. However, we were pleasantly surprised--Angry Crab Shack was DELICIOUS! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Rylee took excellent care of us, and we were impressed by the portion sizes and prices. One previous negative review mentioned a lack of veggies or additional sides, but after looking at the menu, it was clear that the reviewer hadn't fully understood the option to build your own bag. Our entire bill came to $150, which included appetizers, multiple beers, and three large meals. Back home, that same meal would have easily cost us over $250. We all agreed that Angry Crab Shack will definitely be a place we return to every year. read more

Fun and friendly atmosphere, consistent with previous visits. We enjoyed a Catfish Po Boy and some Happy Hour brews, along with a "Shack Trio" for $45. Regarding the latter item, we like very spicy food, but the level 4 was just too hot and the seafood hard to eat. Fortunately our helpful server brought us some butter to cool things down. Next time we will go with something less incendiary, like level 2. I can't imagine what level 6 must be like. read more

Went the other night. Super loud and the AC has been out we were told for 3 months!!!! How would you expect to have a good experience when is blazing hot outside and the inside there is no AC. Also we were sat right behind a kid who had his IPad full blast watching a show while his mother sat on her phone. The boy was about 10. Pretty sad but also didn't add to our already hot experience. Get your AC fixed!!! read more

The food is yum if you're into sea food but they need better seating. My butt fell asleep on the hard booth. Staff made our anniversary special! read more

Three times in a row that I have ordered online they forget include my drink. Today I placed an order and called them to ask them to please include my $6 drink that I am paying for. My order arrived with my drink missing, just inconvenient. read more

First timer here, and it was a great experience!! my family came in tonight, with my mom and nephew. we got beers, and a delicious mixed drink, it was the cucumber honey hot lemonade. Its rimmed with seasoning, and tastes light and refreshing!! we had some nice fried seafood, and fried pickles appetizer along with oysters. we decided to get the huge backyard platter to share among the table for dinner, and i got the catfish with beans and rice, and french fries. Absolutely delicious catfish in a nice big hunk; crunch coating, fried perfectly!! the red beans n rice was so good, not really seasoned, but homey, and comforting!! my family really enjoyed their platter! it came with big hunks of corn, potatoes, sausage. Big ol crab and lobster. Excellent service , and came in Friday night around 7pm, and was seated right away. we really enjoyed the fact that the seating in the dining area is very spacious, and we didn't feel crowded at all. will be back! read more

Stopped in mid afternoon (4pm) wasn't totally empty. Was excited they had charred oyster. They were tasty, not as good as we had in Nawlins, but a good substitute. They were covered in cheese and the garlic butter was nice to dip the bread in. Catfish was very mild, you could tell it was a frozen filet. The fries after a few minutes were cold. The potato salad was just okay. Grilled salmon with the trifecta sauce. The salmon was good but was over powered by the sauce. The veggies were cooked Al dente. The service was very good. Overall a fair experience , probably won't come back. read more

First time at The Angry Crab. Ordered the dungeons crab clusters and a potato with trifecta medium. A little more spicy than expected but I didn't hate it. Husband had the shrimp and crab boil trifecta spicy. He thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Would definitely go back. Next time I will bring my own gloves and crab leg tools. Those one-size-fits-all gloves made it difficult to eat. Would be fun with a group. read more

The food is great and atmosphere. I'm glad we have a seafood place in San Tan Valley.

Don't take some of these reviews serious. Our server was Rylee and she was upbeat and attentive. The food quality was above average and the price was shocking. We live in So Cal and the cost for the exact boil which we paid $45 would $125. We were in town for Country Thunder and almost didn't select this restaurant due to some of the comments. We are glad we took a chance. Good seafood, great flavor and quality service. read more

What does one say for the best seafood sampler boil. I ate myself into a food coma and still had plenty to take home! When you can't decide what to try give this a chance. . . From lobster and shrimp to green muscles and blue muscles and oysters and then add sausage and potato and corn on the cob! It's a wonderful experience for seafood lovers! The secret of course is when to add what to the pot so nothing is over cooked and each item is done to perfection! The crab legs were small but when added to everything else I'm not complaining! I'm certain the butter helped make everything especially awesome but I recommend this dish to anyone going there to enjoy a wonderful meal! read more

Great food for the price! The service was excellent. Great lunch menu. Great atmosphere and I would love to visit again soon.

Visiting our hānai family who moved here a year ago. We came from Hawaii so seafood is a big staple. TJ was our waiter and bradda man was on it! He was super attentive, was efficient when it came to having split orders and all in all gave great service. We also got a visit from the kitchen manager, Marie, who was super sweet with the kids. She asked how our meal was and was kind enough to bring out a lobster for the kids to see. She must have noticed my three year old staring through the window watching the lobsters lol. She made sure to grab everyone from the table to go see the "wobsters". The kids got to learn a little about where the lobsters come from. We'll be craving this place long after we leave! Probably gonna end up coming back one more time before we go home. Thanks for making it a memorable time! read more

DO NOT FEAR THE FLYING HAMMERHEAD SHARK PATROLLING THE ANGRY CRAB! But seriously folks.... Angry Crab is a lot of fun specializing in delicious seafood. I accepted the challenge to devour large, super delicious quantities of headless, shelled shrimps(very large swimming in sauces of your choice), soft shell crabs, Cajun jambalaya soup(thick with hearty flavor)and cornbread. This restaurant is super fun with great seafood cooked right. Server Gabriel did an outstanding job. He was so well spoken and knowledgeable, I thought he was the GM/Owner. The only thing I am angry about now is it took me this long to eat here and I haven't tried all their locations yet. Highly recommended in the San Tan Valley. read more

Service is always great, friendly and food is ALWAYS DELICIOUS. AGAIN, service is always great!!!

Three strikes and we are out. This is this 3rd attempt of delivery we have done all have arrived incorrect. Our $91 bag arrived with a dugout crab and 3 corns. That's it. Marie the manager attempted resolution but, I had to come pick up the missing items. I get mistakes can happen when you are busy on a Friday night but, when I arrived after a 20 min drive the dinning area was empty. Maria was at one of the two tables providing customer service for an error made in house dinning. I had to wait an additional 10 min for the missing food to be ready. Meaning my $220 meal was cold by the time I got home with the missing items. Angry crab is delicious but, drive to the Mesa location we have had zero hiccups at that location - Marie the manager needs a raise and kudos for her attempts to fix the mistakes. Save your dinner and money don't order delivery from this location. read more

Love this place!! Ally is always our server and we come to this location specifically because of her. We are just as close to the Guadalupe restaurant. What a brand ambassador for angry crab. Service is with a smile and even remembers us. Always checking in on us and very attentive. read more

Look, I know prices are high everywhere and seafood prices are even higher than that...but! If you are cutting costs by serving the seafood in a bag, no plates, no real reason for the prices being that high. I have been priced out of a local seafood place that I really enjoy! Food has always been good, service has been fine but man...those crab legs better put on a floor show to pay THAT much! read more

I do like other locations better but food ok here ... recently ordered a tone of food and on my crab was lil black dots, I for one would really appreciate the seafood being cleaned before cooked , made it unappealing to eat so whip off myself before serving read more

I really liked the ambiance. It was casual, spacious and just a good place for large or small groups. The food options were great and the staff as well. We chose to customize our meal and build our own bucket. It did not disappoint! My only surprise was the cost. Be prepared for ~$30+ per person for the boils, otherwise you can ala carte items too. read more
