Alex our Server is so sweet, Accommodating and extremely helpful. Very knowledgeable and well trained, it shows in her presentation skill, exceptional skills, made our dining experience memorable. We all ordered Fish & Chips, the cod was excellent, breading was a little greasy but it is deep fried so I will get over it! Fries-were good as well, tartar sauce very well balanced one thing missing was Malt Vinegar, they do have it, we didn't ask for it, da! They are dog friendly. The do have Patio Seating, with plenty of parking. The restaurant was clean, needs some updating. We will return to try other entrees. read more

Angry Crab Shack - Fish & Chips - Seafood Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

I ordered the lowest heat crab boil in a bag, and it was perfect. Tons of flavor, buttery, garlicky, and seasoned really well without being overwhelming. The crab was fresh and cooked just right, not rubbery or overdone. The bag style is messy in the best way, and everything was coated evenly. Portions were generous and absolutely hit the craving. Service was friendly and fast, and the vibe was casual and fun. If you're someone who wants all the flavor but doesn't want their mouth on fire, I highly recommend going mild here -- you won't miss out at all read more

I'm a occasional customer at Angry Crab and the food is awesome Friday fish and chips great and gumbo is pretty darn good! BUT tonight was a huge miscue on service! We asked the hostess at the very beginning when we walked in that we wanted to watch a baseball game really didn't matter what baseball game as long as we got to watch MLB baseball. They set us now in front of a TV and then came over and told us that they took baseball game due to the fact that they don't have any of the baseball channel. That's kind of not true cause I was there the night before watching a diamondbacks game. The service absolutely sucks tonight on a Friday night so we went across the way at hurricanes where the atmosphere was lively and absolutely amazing food. We won't be going back to angry crab anytime soon.!! read more

4/20/26 We splurged and ordered King Crab - $85/lb., along with some bread and vegetables. We were brought the crab and veggies in the same plastic bag which was dumped on the table. THERE IS NO WAY that was King Crab!!!! We were glad we ordered the other items because there was hardly any crab. Also, we finally had to ask for forks to eat our veggies. We had assumed we'd be eating the crab with our fingers but why would THEY assume we'd be eating the veggies with our fingers??? Will NEVER eat at another Angry Crab Shack!! read more

Good ingredients and plenty of options from sauces, spice levels and add-ons. The overall facility like the restroom could be a little better maintained, but its still a good experience. Casual and inviting inside. We sat in the bar area and there are just enough screens for your choice of sports. Unique specialty drinks and the server was informative and helpful in describing each one along with the details of the menu. Service was prompt and friendly. I like hot and spicy the hottest and spiciest offered no matter where we go, but my girlfriend does not like the heat and spiciness at all. They gave me what I wanted on the side which satisfied us both. Had he the boil with e-z peel shrimp and scallops adding on sausage with extra corn and extra potato. Well presented and good quality. We'll be back. read more

Stopped in while in town for lunch. The aromas here was average. There is seating outside if you would prefer. The restaurant was moderately busy for weekday lunch. They had a host and one server for the restaurant. This server ran her butt off. She was very nice but can also only go so fast being one person. They had lunch specials and one of the being for seafood boil items we wanted so that was a very nice surprise. We added a pound of crawfish to that. It was one of the best seafood boils I've ever had. My husband who isn't much for seafood got the spicy chicken sandwich and loved the trifecta sauce on it. They also had a local brewing company 4 peaks wow berry beer that my husband and my dad tried and also really liked so we had to buy some from the store. If I lived in the area that would definitely be a go to spot for me! read more

The food was good but I remember it used to be much better. The service was good this time I was confused of way would our fries would come before our crab. They were not an appetizer so they should come together. The ambiance for a Sunday dinner was good not to many people and no waiting for a table. Price for a pound of King crab , one pound of snow crab, fries, a beer and an iced tea. = 116 plus tip. May 2024. read more

We recently moved here from out of state and was looking for some decent seafood in a fun atmosphere. After trying a few other locations, we stumbled upon Angry Crab Shack while out running errands. Hubby and I had a great time at Angry Crab Shack. The seafood was fresh and flavorful. We ordered a bag of head on shrimp and an order of the fried catfish. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The fried catfish was amazing! I'm very particular about my fried seafood and some places try and overdo the fish batter, but not Angry Crab shack. Two thumbs up! Lots of neat stuff to look at in the restaurant to keep the little ones busy. Our server (forgot her name) was super friendly, energetic, upbeat and always had a smile on her face. Excellent service!!! We will definitely return when we need another fresh fried fish or shrimp in a bag fix. Thank you ACS! See you again soon! read more

First time at this location. The hostess was very nice and friendly. She welcomed us with a great smile. She seated us in one of three very small booths. It was somewhat uncomfortable and other options weren't currently available. The server, though nice enough, wasn't very attentive with the obvious like filling low water and taking away trash. The food is average. I had the fried shrimp plate. The batter was lacking seasoning and seemed dry. The shrimp looked like small pancakes. I had the coleslaw and potato salad. The coleslaw was nothing great but I did enjoy the potato salad. I did like the hush puppies. They were good. For the price, I'm not sure I'd come back. Although, at another location, I did have the clam chowder that was pretty good. I would likely order that next time and just stick with that. read more

If your looking for a great seafood experience without breaking the bank, this is it. We stopped specifically for happy hour - M-F 3p-6p and all day Sunday. They also do all day on NFL game days. The service is prompt and well timed. No matter who is serving/bartending, they are attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, market prices, and specials. We usually sit in the bar area and have been helped by Ayden and Shane many times, they elevate each visit with their warm and welcoming personalities. Be sure to try the hush puppies - Yum! read more

This place is no fun anymore!! The food is overpriced overcooked and disappointing! Our sever was rude and not helpful! We needed a knife to cut a sandwich and he told us we have no knives! Bad sign was only one other table had customers and now we won't be back! read more

The food was fantastic, my wife and I have come here multiple times and the food has always been great!! Not just the seafood, the chicken tenders and wings are amazing!!! The service was awesome, from Charlie who sat us, Nikki and Aidan waiting on us and the conversations from Shane at the bar!! We always bring friends and family when they are in town!! read more

Had our first dine-in dinner with this location tonight, Tara, our server was so nice & great with recommendations! Loved hearing all the birthdays going on, the alarm/bells and excitement was a great atmosphere. We had the "Boil for 2" and it was perfect to share, the king crab legs were meaty and so delicious; snow crab legs were juicy (thank you CrabShack for that bc I usually skip these - most places they're dry), lobster tails were a decent size and shrimp were plentiful. Bonus Points for tonight's oysters too!! We did a 1/2 dozen and they were MASSIVE! Great flavor and seriously, probably the biggest oyster meat we've had anywhere. Thanks for a great dinner! We will def be back! read more

I had my first experience with the Angry Crab Shack in Surprise AZ today. I ordered a bowl of Boston clam chowder for my dad. I decided to try a spoonful of the soup. I've tried clam chowder a few times in my life. I didn't care for it. I am now a lover of Boston clam chowder. Man, it was good. A bowl of clam chowder at the Angry Crab Shack was only $6.00. I don't know how they can sell such a good bowl of soup for $6.00 but I hope they continue to do so. My dad loves clam chowder. My mother won't make it for him. This Surprise AZ location is super close to us. Winner!! If their soup is this good, I can only image how great the rest of their seafood menu will be. I'll be back for more. read more

The jambalaya is great and it has a nice and spicy heat level. The fries are crispy with the perfect crunch that pairs well with their house made ranch. read more

Rae the manager was very rude and made our experience very uncomfortable! Need to speak to general manager @ 11340 W Bell Rd Surprise, AZ 85378 United States read more

Service was great, it was a beautiful day so we brought the dog and ate on the patio. I've eaten at similar establishments and competitors so I was excited to try the seasoning and wide variety on their menu. The seasoning was just okay. Not my favorite, a little on the dry side and shrimp was hard to peel which i won't say why but if you're a regular shrimp peeler and eater you know have your theories. Bill, pricing, and service was great, just not totally sure if the flavoring and seasoning would bring me back -- but I realize everyone has a different palette, and the demographic of the area may demand one varied expectations from mine. read more

Service on 3-15-25 The food was excellent as always, but the service was awful! Only when our server, Niki, took our order did we see her during our little less than one and a half hours in the restaurant. Our dinner was delivered by her runner, who passed our table at least six times without once asking if we needed additional beverages or whether the food was good. I had to get up and go to the hostess to obtain our check and a to-go box. Definitely will be our last time at this establishment! read more

I typically go to the Goodyear location but have found that the service there isn't great. So we decided to try this location instead. I'm sure happy we made that choice! Our server (Konrad) greeted us with a smile and was just a bubble of joy the entire time. Give this man a raise cause we will drive the extra 20 mins JUST to have him be our server again!! Great energy and attention to detail. Well done. The food was good - same as the other location but the service was FIRE. read more

Angry Crab Shack - Inside. - Seafood Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

Excellent service but crab legs varied widely with 4 of us ordering, 2 boils had skimpy crab legs, 2 had meaty legs so take your chance but shrimp, lobster and sausage excellent as well as all other menu items - don't miss the Cajun pickles! read more

This is such a cool place. We sat on the bar side and they had the football game on which was awesome for us we are big fans. Shane was our server. Very cool guy he explained the menu and how to order our food with the different choices of sauces. Food was perfect nice and hot and came quick. They had happy hour too so we got some great drink specials. We plan on going every Thursday for football and great drinks and food read more

Service was okay, but the food ordering was complicated with no real way to know what you were going to be spending. High prices are one thing but variable pricing is crazy. Quality was ok, not great just ok. Probably on be going back. Stick to Pappadeaux. read more

Yum! Yum! Yummy!!! Went here with my husband and it was AMAZING! And I can't wait to go back! We went durning the week for a date night. I had the create your own bag with snow crab and and added a 1/2 lb of shrimp. I had the trifecta seasoning with a level 1 spice. And that was PLENTY enough spice where it was still spicy but enjoyable! My husband had the catfish basket and he also really enjoyed it. Nothing but amazing things to say about this place! read more

This place has a cool scene, low country boil with steamer bags and buckets. You pick you flavor and heat and then your added veggies. Then have at it. I had the snow crab and shrimp with corn and potatoes, it was pretty good, but almost every crab leg too include the claws had zero meat in it. Like zero, completely empty shell. It was perplexing cause how did this crab even live. We asked the staff if this was common, they said in their newest deliveries a lot of people have complained. Which means they know this gender has an issue. They happily fixed it, but if there is a massive supply issue, then I feel you should stop selling the product as many people will not say anything and then pay over $150 for 3 people and get NO MEAT. That's crazy. Again they fixed the issue, with more meatless legs lol. Also, it really needs some sound dampening stuff as it is really loud and hard to hear your group conversations. read more

I ate there the other night with my husband and 2 kids. There wasn't a wait which was nice for us! The host had colorful hair and seemed nice enough all though a bit all over the place talking to us and the people behind her and as well some at the bar, very social. We sat and got greeted quickly, and the food came out fast too! We ordered the hush puppies and friend picklesfor apps. The fried pickles came out a few minutes after the hush puppies but it wasn't a bad thing, it gave us time to crave them more! My husband and the kids ordered the boil and I got the catfish. The catfish was delicious and didnt taste fishy at all! The kids shared one bag and we ordered a pound of snow crab with shrimp. The shrimp came out a bit overcooked and I was worried as we've never been here before, but when I asked to speak to the manager, Priscilla got new shrimp remade for the kids and it came out in less than like 10 minutes and was perfect! We will definitely be back. Priscilla seemed to care and didn't blow me off like many other young managers do these days, hence the reason we will be trying it again for dinner this week! read more

In the Phoenix area do not miss The Angry Crab Shack! We have patronized several of the Phoenix area locations and have always been extremely happy. Lunch special of the crab and shrimp boil is super reasonably priced at $15 and it's absolutely a generous portion. Service at every location we've visited has been exceptional. Fun atmosphere and family friendly. Plenty of parking as well. If you're a seafood lover don't miss it. Non seafood options available as well. read more

The Food is Great!!! The Service is HORRIBLE!! Tried to place an order last week over the phone and they told me to hold on so they can get my credit card number. I waited for 24 minutes and decided to call back. Call back again talk to the same gentleman and tell him I wanted to place in order to go so he tells me to hold on again, and after waiting 30 minutes, I said that's it!!! NO EXCUSES! No matter how busy YOU are ! read more

Came here with my friend on her last night visiting. I'd heard so many great things. We were seated quickly. Waitress helpful. Staff wore masks. Food came out fairly quickly & hot. It was a lot of food. Totally under estimated the amount we ordered. The charred oysters were good but you could definitely taste the char heavily on a couple. They also needed a touch more seasoning but we're good overall. Clam/calamari basket was pretty tasty. My friend got the fish & chips & was happy it. I ordered the scallop basket & subbed four pieces of sausage & had no bottom. I was disappointed that the scallops didn't have more color. They were decent tasting scallops. The sausage, however, was strangely very, very good. Overall? Good. Would I go back? Probably not. Not my favorite but I know some people totally love it & I can see it. read more

Love coming here! I come here at least once a week. Good happy hour! Food is good, drinks are good, service is on point. Really friendly employees, and Charlie the manager can easily be found cruising thru the restaurant talking to customers (not hiding in the back somewhere) or helping employees. Fun, casual atmosphere. Fun place for a birthday too! read more

This is a perfect summer destination point! Bring the family or that special someone for a fun, casual date night. The second you walk in you can tell the experience is going to be casual and fun. Picnic style seating, butcher paper lined tables and whimsical coastal decor. The staff is upbeat, friendly and happy to help you. They have a wide variety of different types of crab, shrimp, oysters, scallops etc. I was drooling over the menu which included Jambalaya, Crab Cake Sandwiches and Lobster Rolls. Ultimately, I decided on my favorite type of dinner, a few selections from the appetizer list. My charismatic waiter/entertainment specialist (hey Konrad!) suggested the Charred Mussels, grilled vegetables in a spicy broth and an 'off menu' specialty, Gator Nuggets. You get to pick your seasoning type and heat level. This is New Orleans flavorful and it did not disappoint! The food was mouthwatering and flavorful but I could have gone with a tad less salt. Definitely will be coming back for a picnic style Crab Boil!!! read more
