We ate at Angry Crab Shack on Broadway and it was an absolute delight. From the moment we sat down, everything was top notch. Reeves was our server and he did an amazing job -- super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The food was excellent. The crab boils were awesome with great flavor and everything cooked perfectly. We also tried the wings and they were fantastic too. Overall, the service, food, and experience were all 10/10. We'll definitely be back. read more

Angry Crab Shack - Seafood Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

When it comes to seafood in Tucson, it's tough to find a place that does it right. Angry Crab Shack has some decent choices and decent prices but it didn't live up to the hype I heard or my expectations. The amount you get for the prices paid is pretty bad. Their garlic sauce that it comes in is also not very garlicky at all. It's mostly butter. We got the seafood boil and we were able to make a few substitutions which was nice. The place itself is decent. Lots of room and you can have either a booth or table. Gloves and bibs are provided as well as tools for peeling shrimp, lobster, crab etc. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Just anothet average yet somewhat over priced seafood restaurant in Tucson. read more

Do not recommend. Fish and chips were not good, fish was soggy, fries tasted like fish too. Light came on and blinded my table during dinner and they gas lighted me and said it was already on. Auto gratuity for larger parties forced me to tip for all this. Never again. read more

Waited 20 minutes for waiter to arrive. Ordered crab boil for two, that includes King crab and snow crab clusters. Neither were included, as Queen crab was substituted without notification. Hush puppies were complimented for the initial wait. In all fairness, the raw oysters were absolutely excellent. Yet not being advised of the substitution (and omission) was a clear disappointment. Not sure if we'll return. read more

I am an angry crab after eating food from this cheapskate place, with small portions. $2.00 red potatoes were 2 inches in diameter, about 2 bites. $249.00 for 2 orders of crab legs called "King Crab legs" delivered by Doordash, King crab legs are usually about 2.5 inches in diameter, these are regular, not king size, since they were under 1 inch in diameter. Stay away, a Mother's Day ripoff, very disappointing. Entire dinner delivered in a bag with the garlic sauce on everything, crab, potato, and corn on the cob, too expensive ! At least the food tasted good. The 12 piece, 1 inch hushpuppies were separate, not in the bag and OK, but a clump of dough is not worth $7.00 read more

Food took forever to arrive. Ordered a fried Calamari appetizer. It was lukewarm and the breading was soggy All-in-all, pretty bad. Since I wanted a lighter lunch, I ordered the Fried tofu with vegetables over garlic noodles. I figured how bad could it be. Worse than I could ever imagine. Tofu cubes were stuck together, hard inside and lukewarm. Vegetables were frozen, and noodles were horribly overcooked, soaked in garlic oil and tasteless. Al of this was wewrved in a weird bowl that seem to be perched on its edge on a stand. Had I not been with friends, I would have sent the slop back. read more

the waiter didn't even make eye contact when handing me a menu. I had the gumbo which was a tilted bowl with about 3/4 cup of soup and a big glob of rice in the middle of it. The gumbo was spicy and had a kind of a to it instead of a rich flavorful seafood taste, which included sausage, chicken shrimp. I ordered an oyster Poboy to go being from New Orleans. I am used to beautifully grilled oysters with Italian dressing, chopped iceberg, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and onions. What I got was heavily breaded overcooked gob with spring mix and tomato slices and pickles. I'm sorry but I just can't recommend this place. read more

Love their green mussels in their flavorings. The mussels are nice and plump, the onion rings are tasty, love the clam chowder, my hubs eats the corn cobs. Will always order what I like from there. read more

This is more of a 3.5 but overall the crawfish weren't bad. Now it's tough if you're from Texas or Louisiana, this doesn't compare.... But the sauce was decent. I would definitely try it again when they are in season !! Overall not a bad experience! read more

Food was below average, my crawfish was slightly undercooked and the snow crab was way over cooked. Service was atrocious though, I just wanted a refill man :/ why did I get a refill until AFTER I had already paid my bill like HUHHHH ?? I walked out of there an angry crab :/ (which says a lot bc this my fav food ever) read more

The shrimp were good tasting but small and due to the way they cook them they were overcooked but tasted good. The crab was better and not overcooked. Service was fair but failed to remember the details, like added sauces and on one dish added hot sauce when it was ordered without hot sauce. To my surprise I ordered coleslaw and got less than a "handful" for $3 and a very small 1/3 ear of corn. I know that a restaurant needs to make a profit but that is a ridicules profit. Also we had several friends with us and all the good was served over a 10 minute time difference. I will go back to see if this was just bad day, Management needs to step up. read more

We just left after sitting down for 10 Min with no one coming over to take our order. The workers were all at the bar eating. I cannot make this up. We got up to leave and the hostess (who was also at the bar and not at the hostess stand) said "you guys leaving? Ok have a good day." What in the world. TERRIBLE. read more

I wish I could rate angry crab higher but the second I walked into the women's bathroom it ruined the whole experience for me. The food was good and the service was nice but to have a bathroom that looks the way it does is completely beyond me. I'my looked like it hadn't been cleaned in YEARS. The biggest stales toilet was completely clogged and over flowing, second stall had a giant pile of wet toilet paper on the floor behind the toilet and it was barely hanging on to the floor and smelled horrendous. To pay almost over $200 for dinner for two and have a bathroom looks like that makes you feel like the kitchen can't be that far behind. Won't be eating here again. read more

Great food and service by Juan. This is our go to always for consistency! We love the vibe as well.

Got the wrong spice the first time, and man was it like eating flames! Daniel was quick to bring me a suitable spice level without question. The manager herself brought it out to make sure i received it. They came back to the table to make sure it was less flames more flavor. A refreshing approach to customer service than what we have been receiving as of late in Sierra Vista where we eat and live. This is customer service and this is what we tip for! Great job guys, loved the entire experience! read more

Great service! Delicious food! This place is a corporate chain that has a family restaurant vibe. The morning bartender is super friendly and sociable. I have been here on my last two trips to Tucson and enjoyed the conversations with this dude. Also right next to a fast charger for my electric vehicle. Cool spot. read more

Went in with my family tonight and our server was Kaitlin, she was very sweet and very attentive. The food was 10/10 and the sauce for the seafood was just right. They music, lighting was great not to bright or loud. Definitely will be back! read more

Food quality and variety is very good. Atmosphere and staff are pleasant. Bartender Caitlin was terrific. read more

What could improve here is, simply, everything. We had a group of ladies come for lunch, and we had a reservation, so we expected decent service. That was one thing we certainly did not get. Orders came late, incomplete and not warm. The food was inconsistent: some people really liked what they had, but the shrimp was so salty it was inedible. Some serving sizes were too small. Some requests were never answered. Angry Crab? No, angry customers! read more

Be prepared! If you want to do a crab bag dinner. See bottom The clam chowder ($7)boston style was good with a good amount of crab and nice serving size. The gumbo ($8) is also good with a nice amount of shrimp in a nice dark rue. I ordered mine without the rice and it had a deep flavor. My husband ordered the grilled shrimp Po' boy with cajun fries ($15). Very good fries and Po' boy had a nice amount of grilled shrimp. The sandwich was very good. I ordered the Jambalaya ($12) without rice. Again a nice dark flavorful roux and very filling had about 4 to 5 nice size shrimp and then also some baby shrimp and a few small pieces of fish. Very good and filling. Our waitress Kim was nice and very helpful. Food came out quickly and hot. Now for the alert. If you want to do crab, lobster, fish, or shrimp bag dinner, in a true boiled crab fashion the prices start at $125 for two people and the create your own is by the pound. We stuck to the fixed menu priced items. The food was really good. We will go back again, but probably just for another soup and a salad with salmon or shrimp on top. read more

worst place ever, they favorite workers and that don't do what there supposed to. Have of there crew doesn't work and there kitchen is dirty. they don't take care of there customers and they make you sit for 20 min before getting help. read more

The food was very tasty! The service was good. The waitress was professional. But once we needed to use the restroom, it went drastically wrong! The floors were sticky and it looked like there was a layer of filth. I saw the actual floor peeking underneath the layers of filth. The toilets were so filthy and black Mold was inside the toilets. The doors had a layer of filth. It seems like they only replace the toilet paper and soap but never clean the place. Please clean the toilets and mop the restaurants floors. It makes a difference. read more

We had seven people and everyone ordered something different. We all loved the food. It's casual and can get messy while eating but good seafood. Friendly staff. read more

Pretty casual, but service was fast and efficient. We arrived nearly at the end of the day and got shrimp baskets for the must part. I got the calamari which was quite good. I would definitely go back. read more

Took awhile To get to this spot on my list. Now I wonder why! I was afraid it would be over the top expensive. Expensive yes but not over the top. Putting together your own boil bag with seasoning and heat level makes endless combinations and market prices were fair. Really liked the idea of adding what we wanted so we could avoid unwanted extra carbs. Service was a little slow, but friendly and casual; we weren't in a hurry to savor the tastes. Food was cooked just right with succulent scallops being a good indication they know what they're doing. We'll come back, if not for seafood then for the super crunchy fried pickles and some just right wings! Oh and the cheesecake. Well worth sharing the carbs for a taste of an amazing desert. Who would think an angry crab could make us so happy! read more

My foodie friend and I had been talking about going to the Angry Crab Shack since we first heard they were opening midtown. We kept checking and then kind of forgot and continued enjoying our culinary journey through the Asian nations. Then last week, the inspiration hit so we went for lunch on Monday. Only a few tables of diners were present, so no waiting. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our waiter asked if this were our first visit, and he was helpful, informative, and funny; an enjoyable and helpful addition to our visit. He brought stack of menus: main menus, boil menus, drink menus, and explained the sandwiches, baskets, and boils. The boils are really interesting, and diners choose the broth, sauce, level of spiciness, and what seafood, potato, and vegetables will be included. We started with the jalapeño cornbread hush puppies. They were crispy on the outside, soft inside, and had a nice kick, served with ranch dipping sauce. Several lunch specials are only $15, including a crab and shrimp boil that sounds amazing. We both, not surprisingly since we tend to be taste twins, chose the soft-shell crab basket. Two nice-sized fried crabs nestled into the basket with a ton of Cajun fries. Lots of reviewers recommended the Cajun fries, which proved to be as crispy and deliciously seasoned as advertised. Spicy Cajun mayo is served for the crab and fries. Yum! The basket comes with an additional side; my bud had cole slaw and I had grits, creamy and delicious. Much too much food for lunch, though, and I took half of mine home. The Angry Crab has perfected the frying process with the ideal balance of crisp and tender, without a trace of greasiness. But it was a lot of fried food. We will definitely go back, but next time I think I'll try the shrimp and crab boil or the lobster rolls (not the fried one!). The entrance to the restaurant faces Broadway and parking is mostly in the back, with a limited number of handicapped and regular spaces on the west. So it's a bit of a distance from the closest parking to the front door. Immediately adjacent to the handicapped parking is a door marked for exit only, but it would be helpful if that door could also be used for entering. read more

5 stars for Lauren the Bar Tender, 1 star for the restaurant outside of her attention and prompt service. She's the only person I get consistent good service from which is beyond frustrating when you're spending a considerable amount of money on mid food AND subpar service. Anywho, thanks Lauren for doing your job well. read more

Took forever to get my order ( I can cook scallops myself in less than 5 min ). Food tasted like it was boiled and thrown on the plate without any seasoning. It's a second visit to this place, hoping it would be a better experience, but unfortunately NOT. NEVER AGAIN ! read more

My Gumbo was cold, as was my wife and Granddaughter's seafood boil. The fried clam appetizer was lukewarm. The waitress was nice.

We came on a slow Monday evening to get the Crab Boil for 2. The service wasn't too friendly but I wouldn't say it was bad. The ambiance is quite laid back and borderline gaudy. The booths and anywhere that could be written on- was heavy on graffiti and customer signatures. It had its own shack charm. Cut to the food- DELICIOUS. We highly recommend getting the trifecta sauce and getting it mild flavor. The lobster tails were big, juicy, and cooked perfectly, and the crab legs had nice thick pieces of meat inside! We would go back for the high flavor profiles. read more

Angry Crab Shack - ( King Crab ) (Head Off Shrimp) (Hard Boiled Egg) (Red Potato) (Corn on the Cob) (4 Pieces of Sausage) (Lobster Tail) - Seafood Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My Wife and I went here opening day. She is the seafood person and she was very excited to try this place. When we went the wait was not too long and as we were sat down our server came up it was very friendly. She made recommendations and was very knowledgeable. Overall I would say the Service was great and the food was eh. I had the cheeseburger, the only non seafood dinner and some clam chowder. My Burger tasted pretty good, however the clam chowder was just ok. My wife ordered the seafood bucket with the snow crab legs, potatoes, shrimp, corn on the Cobb and an egg. Also she added on the lobster tail for an extra $16 and she said it seemed small. Overall she said the crab legs didn't have much meat. For Tucson, you can't charge $100 for 2 people. I'm not sure if we'll be rushing back anytime soon. read more

I have been craving fried shrimp for several months and just couldn't find any that satisfied that craving so today we came here in the hopes it would. I'm happy to say it did just that. I ordered the shrimp basket and Bobbie got the fish and chips. They both came with cajun fries and I got coleslaw while she got potato salad. The shrimp was butterflied and dredged in panko then fried to a golden crisp. Her fish was cod battered and also fried. The shrimp were jumbo in size and I got 6 of them. Her fish came with 3 large pieces. Both my shrimp and her fish were fried perfectly and came out quite hot. My coleslaw was some of the best I've had, a lot of places don't put enough dressing on it but this one was nicely sauced and delicious, about the only thing that would have made it better is if they put poppy seeds in it. Poppy seeds give coleslaw a nice bite when you bite it and the flavor of them adds to the overall taste. Her potato salad had large pieces of potatoes cooked perfectly with good flavor. The cajun fries had a nice covering of spices and were very good. Our server, Juan, was very attentive and even got us iced tea to go when we left. Overall a very pleasant experience and we will be back. read more

By far the worst seafood spot I've ever had. Came from Las Vegas and didn't think you could go wrong with seafood. Boy was I wrong. Everything was bad. Everyone that worked there was so nice so I feel bad for writing this but the quality of the food for the price was just not it. read more

Was looking forward to going there and thinking about lobster rolls which I ordered. There was plenty of lobster but taste was a bit bland. The fries were very good though. They have a wide variety to choose from with various sea food dishes. There are a number if TV screens and the volume of music was very loud. They do have things you might not find elsewhere in Tucson but not in any rush to go back read more

We had fish and chips the best in Tucson as far as we have tried. Potato salad excellent so was coleslaw. My husband got it to go it was still warm when we began eating we were pleasantly surprised. I grew up in the Bay Area lots of fresh fish this may be fresh frozen but it's excellent. We're eating there again tonight. Love this place wonderful fish and chips read more

My host Gigi really stepped up when our server was busy and got us our drinks after a long wait and was working hard bussing tables

I'm never sure if that place is open it looks dark ever since they've been there tried it and there's no real seafood other than fried stuff including whole fried crabs it taste like a cracker. I give the place six more months and then I hope it's self serve soft ice cream shop or a strip club. read more

Seafood in the desert; you kind of have to expect it may not be the best catch of the ocean. I love seafood boils so it was nice to be able to come out and try one here. There is currently a special going on for $35.00 bag with King, Queen, and Snow Crab Legs, potatoes and sausage. This is a great deal if you are a crab lover. You can add-on whatever you like. Regular price could add closer to $80+. I added on lobster tails and they were pretty good. Again, the seafood is not the freshest as it is likely frozen, shipped, thawed, maybe frozen again, boiled, etc. So it's best to not go with expectations that crab legs will crack easily. They can be a bit bendy. Scissors helped a lot where the crackers wouldn't. All and all, the crab was very meaty. I did add a little salt to my bag, but still left feeling satisfied enough. Our waitress, Kim, was very helpful, fun, and hospitable. read more

Enjoying a day off from work and enjoyed an excellent lunch! The food and customer service is fantastic. I appreciate this location.

Amazing service from Dapper Dan-- he took care of us and made sure any requests or questions were attended. Food came out fast (came at 9pm), everything was great except the lobster (a bit too mushy for my taste.) Would definitely come again & try the spicier sauces read more
