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

This was a great spot! My two close friends, my dog and I had a lovely outdoor table. Our server Kayleigh was wonderful and so friendly...not to mention she made me a great drink! And the manager, Charlie, was friendly, courteous and checked in on us several times. And he gave extra special treatment to my dog! What a plus! Food was very flavorful and tasty! We're from Chicago, but we'll be back again next time we visit! 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

we were so disappointed in our food tonight. The sauces tasted old and the French fries also tasted old. The fish was cold. Usually we enjoy the food but it was bad this time. Dana G read more

Lobster tail was never cleaned. There was dirt in it. Shrimp was overcooked ... tough to chew. This was our first time getting lunch, and likely will be our last read more

Great food, great service. Lots of food. Somewhat pricey, but still good. Great different types of food and drinks. Unique atmosphere.

My family moved to Arizona recently and we found this gem & the experience blew us away. We had a fabulous time the crew provided excellent service and delicious food. Our family loved the restaurant and the atmosphere, we know we will definitely come back. One of the servers even brought our dog a complementary meat Pattie and I thought that was sooo sweet this place is definitely 10/10. Thank you Shane for taking care of us! read more

Second time there! I live in California and couldn't wait to go back. Best sea food, wonderful service. Great location. Came to visit family in Phoenix and it was the one thing I asked to do while there. Eat at Angry Crab Shack. read more

Steamed clams were served raw. How does that happen when all the clams were wide open and many were broken in half? Something was very suspicious The fried catfish was a very thin fillet and no flavor. I will not be going back. Very disappointed. read more

I love this place. The food is always so great. The michiladas are perfectly spiced and refreshing. The clam chowder is hot and delicious. I wish the beers were bigger so I don't feel like a lush when I order three or more. The staff is attentive and the restaurant is clean. It is a bit loud for my taste, and it is hard to get a booth sometimes but would still be back anytime. 10/10 would recommend. read more

My mom and I ate here for dinner and we loved it! This was not our first time at Angry Crab but our first time at this location and it was amazing.

See trip advisor. Expert on crab legs and these are now horrible, so worse than Red Lobster. Red offers a different type of snow and they are huge. These guys are little, overcooked, water logged and staff and management are less than adequate - unless you are 18 !!!!!!!!!!!! Horrible. Don't go not worth it. Red you get 2 sides and a drink for same price. Just dropped 82.00 for crap. read more

Excellent crap. Charred Oysters are very good. I like the Canjun Fries. Service is fast. It pretty loud. It's pretty busy o. The weekends but worth the wait. read more

I usually post if they're really great or really awful. The food tasted good, not great because we had to send back the hush puppies

As usual, they (like other locations) did not disappoint. This was the first time to this relatively new location, I have been to 5 others here in town! There were 10 of us there for a birthday. Service was fast and friendly. With a variety of dishes ordered, no one seemed to be dis appointed. Love that you can specify the spice level and flavors!!! read more

Came here for dinner Sunday night. The food was great. So glad they opened a location here in Surprise. It was not crowded at all like the Peoria location. They also offer military discount as well. read more

Had the PoBoy w/fried shrimp and fried oysters. Very good! Waitress was very nice and friendly, good server. Her name was Mackenzie. Very pleasant. read more

If you feel like paying $165 for 4 scallops, 12 small shrimps, and crab legs then you got the right spot... I was shocked at the amount of food they gave us for what they claim to be a 2 person boil. Please go to a family owned restaurant instead of this chain bs. Server was great though, and flavor gets no complaint from me. But please stop scamming people read more

This is definitely one of those places you stop and ask yourself, "Why haven't I been here before?" At least I did. From the outside it doesn't look like much, kinda bland and not really a stand out. They do have an outside patio with seating and misters if you'd like, but today is quite windy and ugly out so we opted for a booth inside. Once inside it's totally a different vibe. The tables are lined with paper for easy clean up because it gets messy fast. The booths and surrounding areas are marked with writing from past customers. A great place for kids with no real worry of them making a mess or accidentally writing on something because they're allowed to ha ha. Decor was pretty cool and my 12 year old even got a kick out of it. We started off with clam chowder for my husband and the Angry Edamame for me. Both of us were very happy and how fast everything came out and even happier at how delicious it was. Seriously some of the best edamame I've had. Steamed well and the flavor was out of this world. The clam chowder was full of clam, great pepper seasoning/flavor with a really good portion. My son hates seafood so before we came we made sure to check the menu for other items. He decided on the chicken tenders with Cajun fries and coleslaw for his mom to eat (I love it) . My hubby and I decided on the Boil for two they comes with king crab, head off shrimp, snow crab, 2 lobster tails, corn, red potatoes and sausage. We added the trifecta sauce which includes garlic, lemon pepper and Cajun. We also added the medium spice to it. (I'm a heat wimp) It's a bit pricy, but it's so worth it! Filled us both up. My husband has been craving seafood so I'm glad it was as amazing as it was. It was all steamed well and tons of it. Definitely messy, but they give you gloves, bibs, scissors and paper towels are left at the table as well. The location was clean and service was pretty good. They were busy and short staffed like most places lately, but managed to handle their tables well. They are also hiring for anyone who may be looking. All in all it was a great stop. My sons chicken looked amazing, fresh not frozen and breaded well. He said it was juicy and not over cooked. His favorite by far were the Cajun fries. As promised I ate his coleslaw and it was good as well. We're already planning on our next visit. Don't let the outside fool you. It screams Sun City Vibe, but the inside is rocking and full of fun and yummy eats! They also have many different locations across the valley if this one isn't near you. read more

Angry crab never disappoints, had pound of crab with the trifecta with lobster and baked shrimp 4 potatoes and two corns with dozen raw oysters and couple beers. I did want to do a shot out to my waiter drake he made sure I was taken care of for sure thanks bro! Also the manager Charlie's made such to check in with customers and has a very amazing staff ! Thank you angry crab for a great and amazing experience I will be back and recommend everyone to come !!!! read more

The food is good but the service is outstanding! Every one in there goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. The jambalaya was excellent. I'll be back for more. read more

Due to the pandemic, I placed a phone order to go. When I got there, I was greeted with some smiles. The staff were very proficient at getting my order together and checking me out. Price: the crab legs were more expensive than I'm use to at $25/Lb. I'd expect being much closer to the coast crab legs would be cheaper. I just moved here from MN and was only paying about $18/Lb in Minnesota. I ordered the jalapeño hush puppies, 5 Lbs of snow crab legs, kids chicken & fries basket and 6 jumbo wings. The food was fresh, the portions were good and all of the food were amazing. The wings were so tasty! I love spicy food but I still want to enjoy it without the running nose, sweats and numbing feeling of my tongue. They definitely know there spices, I got (2) medium heat level which to me was perfect but don't be fooled, if you can not handle spice, stick to level (1) mild. This is now my new favorite seafood boil place to go to! read more

6/26/2022 Update. Went for lunch on 6/25/2022 at 1pm or so. This review is ONLY for my order of the island meatballs and shrimp basket. The island meatballs were tasty and I loved the little spice kick at the end, as it hangs for a little bit. Nicely done. As far as the shrimp basket, I'll wait on ordering that again. I'm not sure if this seafood restaurant serves frozen shrimp for their shrimp basket, but all of the small 9 total shrimp, they were all the same size and shape, including the breading. Which tells me they came in a froze box? Not sure. See the pic. Fries were tiny, maybe the bottom of fries bin? Not sure. All I know is that this shrimp basket I could have gotten at a drive-thru at Long John Silvers. It was NOT what I expected and have gotten on prior 10+ times I have been to various Angry Crab spots. I hope management fixes this item on their menu. read more

Our server, Lila, was great. She was attentive and helpful. The food was piping hot and brought out quickly. The onion rings were really good and crispy not overly breaded. I highly recommend them. The other food was good but sort of unremarkable in flavor. The value is good if you're looking for inexpensive seafood with a bright, clean, no frills, almost "fast food" with a server. Oh, and they serve cocktails but I didn't have one. A reason to go back... read more

Great service at this location with our server Nate, good food & decent prices, the catfish tasted a little doughy, I removed most of the batter, was still good, wife loved the mussels, the friend clams & calamari were good, the Hurricane drinks were tasty, I'd recommend Nate as your server if you can, very hard working young man ! PS the beans are amazing, loved the fresh clams. read more

Last minute decision for crab. Got seated quickly. Mack our waitress was great at explaining how to order. We left full & happy no room for dessert. Will be back read more

It's ok. The pricing isn't bad nor the service. The flavor is just meh. I hate when it's someone's birthday and they sound an alarm. It's so unnecessarily loud. Be aware if you take small children they always end up crying. read more

We were overcharged for drinks during happy hour, we brought it to the managers attention, the manager was rude and could care less about making a customer happy. We have frequented ACS for many years at our previous location and have always been treated with respect. There are too many other options that want our business. read more

The food is amazing! So much flavor!! Love the casual atmosphere and the great service. Would come here everyday if I could!

I was so disappointed in my food. I ordered the lobster roll. The edge of the bun was burnt and the rest uncooked. I did not eat the "lobster". It was mush and there was not any visible signs it was actually lobster. Sadly the fried clams didn't fare any better. Lots of breading and very little clams. My friend ordered fish and chips. She said it was ok. This didn't tickle my craving for lobster or clams. The positive note is the place was clean and it was quick to get to a table opening week and the staff was working very hard. read more

This has always been my favorite restaurant, but today solidified that decision! I've recently had an injury and have found myself in a wheelchair. I've been missing and craving my favorite restaurant so I had my wife help me load the wheelchair in the car before she went to work. Once I got to Angry Crab, the GM Pricilla helped me out of my car and into the restaurant. Service from the bartender Nikki was amazing like usual! When I was ready to go, Priscilla and one of the kitchen guys helped me outside and back into my car. Talk about service. Thanks Angry Crab. Love you guys! read more

Went from zero (first visit) to hero (second visit) to MINUS ZERO (third visit)!!! I was given the most scrawny crab leg cluster I have ever seen!! I don't even think I got close to a pound!! Not only that, but I was given a knuckle and an extra " pinky leg"....as a filler!!! It was total CRAP!! The server (when she FINALLY showed up) tried to convince me that the "best meat is in the knuckle and that people like knuckles the best." NOPE, you are NOT going to convince me of this nonsense!!! No one EVER orders "crab knuckles", right??!!! People order crab LEGS!!! She never checked back in with us until my kid was already DONE eating!! I tried waiving her down multiple times. The place isn't that big. I saw her, but never ONCE did she even look our way!! I was getting very frustrated and my kid defended her saying "She is nice." Yes, she was but...nice didn't matter this time!! So memorable for all the wrong reasons!!! If they want to contact me through Yelp and offer me a small gift card, I would consider returning (HINT HINT), but otherwise, a big fat NOT RETURNING!! read more

What a disappointment! 1lb of shrimp was 16 shrimp. And they were not big. So unless the were extra jumbo no way was that a pound. King crab got 1.5 legs and some pieces. And after that came out 10 minutes after the shrimp....because they were still cooking it. Well it was ice cold! Never had this experience here before. read more

Great service and great food, only down side was the damn flys and the calamari and lobster was a little over cooked. But it was still a good dinner and great price for 3 people. read more

Best seafood you're going to find here in the desert! The service is friendly and was very attentive, though towards the end it seemed like they were trying to rush us out. The menu has a huge variety, you'll find something for everyone from sandwiches, burgers, wings, fries, rice and beans, soups (gumbos), salads, appetizers, and the kids menu has chicken tenders, Mac and Cheese, corn dogs, Cod, and a cheese burger. We ended up with the boil for 2 which was $125 for the super tender snow crab legs, king crab fresh large shrimp, lobster tails, 2 boiled potatoes, 4 pieces of sausage, and 2 half-ears of corn on the cob in a bag. The "Kajun" seasoning marinated in this butter on the seafood boil was delicious and had a mild spice to it. Don't forget to go to the bottom and drench your meat in the seasoning if you'd like some extra kick! This would not be a place for your first date, but it could be a fun evening out cracking some crab legs together, haha. Don't forget to enjoy yourself while you are feasting and getting messy! read more

Wanted fish & chips for dinner last night-it was Friday after all. We were going to drive across town but decided to get somewhere closer & decided on this place. Have been to other locations of this chain and was very pleased. We knew it would be busy but was pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. I ordered fish & chips & the wife ordered a salad & chowder. We also ordered some onion rings-as an appetizer. We got our drinks refilled & still no dinner - or onion rings. You can see where I'm going with this. Finally, our dinner arrived and he kid asked if there was anything else he could bring to us-wasn't the entire order on his ticket??? When we complained about the missing appetizer he went back & brought us an order that had been siting somewhere. With our dinner delivered we told him to forget about the appetizer. He apologized & left them at our table with no offer to remove if from our bill. You could tell than the missing rings had been sitting out as the breading was falling of the onion when we tried to eat them. When the waiter came by to fill our drinks again we voiced our complaint. All we received was another excuse & no offer to remove the charge. By this time the restaurant was pretty busy & I was pretty upset & had little appetite. When we asked for our check we were offered some to go containers. A word to the wise-if you still want to go here after reading this see if they offer Brunch. read more

Hmmmm...I went here to meet some friends driving through town. They had two dogs and wanted to let them out for a breather. I got there early and stood in line behind a couple that had a dog! They were seated on the patio. I was next, I told the young hostess that I also needed a table on the patio for 4 and two dogs. She immediately said that they can't seat us. I stayed that they have lots of tables outside and they just sat a table for a couple with a dog. She said sorry. I asked why and she said the manager just told her not to seat any more. This was 5pm, so they weren't closing. She just shrugged and said she couldn't seat us. We went across the way and got on the waitlist at Hurricanes. The young host said it shouldn't be long. And even brought some iced water bowls for the dogs while we waited. Yay, that's the way to earn new customers and redeem our night. Shame on you, Angry Crab for denying us a table with no explanation and kudos to Hurricanes for making us feel welcome. We order a lot and tipped well . A free tip to the management of Angry Crab...train your hostesses and managers to make people feel welcome. If they cannot accommodate, train them to offer an explanation. Not a shrug. You will not gain any new customers that way. Tsk tsk. Just for the record, we had been to the one on Cactus and they seemed like they had their act together. read more
