    Our family had such a great experience at Angry Crab Shack! We went for a seafood boil and it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. What made the night even better was our server, Amber. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Her great attitude and service really added to the whole experience. Delicious food, great atmosphere, and excellent service -- we'll definitely be back.

    Shrimp and very runny grits.

    Hubby and son really wanted some crab so off we went yesterday to Angry Crab Shack on Broadway. The first two things we noticed is the EXTREMELY sticky floors and a broken booth right when you walk in. We were seated right away and greeted by our waiter (R) quickly. I was taken aback at the clear smell of alcohol radiating from him although he was courteous. They both ordered their crab and I ordered shrimp and grits. The grits were so runny that the shrimp sank to the bottom. The shrimp were sandy somehow which was weird. The guys said their crab was good. For the three of us, the bill plus tab was about $300 - seemed high for a meh experience.

    Given the area this is located... I had been a little sus about trying it out... now I feel my problem Is going to be limiting my frequency. Such a cool space and super friendly staff. The seafood is delicious (they have non seafood options but I didnt try anything else as I came here for the seafood). The fried clams were really good (and I'm not generally into fried clams)... they have a bit of a spice and flavored well. We got the Broil for Two with the trifecta seasoning and medium spice level and it was perfect. The sweet corn was sweet and the potatoes were cooked just right. They do offer you gloves, all the gadgets for eating seafood and even a bib. Market Prices can seem high... but you would pay more at almost any other seafood restaurant for the variety in the Boil for Two. They have a decent bar with several cocktail and beer options. Only suggestion I would have is - wear short sleeves and dig in!!

    First time at Angry Crab Shack and it was pretty good! I've had seafood boil before so I ordered the Crawfish and Clams to the bag. The clams were delicious but the crawfish was hit or miss. Some of the crawfish tasted off and the ones were a lot more mushy and soft compared to the fresher ones. I've had better seafood boil elsewhere, so i'm glad I was at least able to try the one that Tucson offers!

    This was the chosen restaurant by the hubby for his birthday. His review of his seafood boil: He loved it! He said the seafood was fresh, and the spice he selected which was mild but tangy, was perfect for his taste. The seafood boil comes out in a big plastic bag that is placed inside a can. Rather than dumping the entire thing right onto the table, which you can do....the hubby pulled out the plastic bag and ripped it open. That way the seafood stayed soaking in the juice while he ate. They provide you with claw crackers, gloves, and a bib. Me being a vegetarian, I had looked at the menu online prior to going to make sure there was something for me to eat. There was....I ordered the garlic noodle bowl and the angry endamame. Warning...the garlic noodle bowl was delish, but a tad too much garlic. No vampires were going to get me that night...LOL! The trifecta sauce on the angry endamame was fantastic! It contains cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic. It was so yummy! No need to dress up in this place....very casual. Check the board when going on as there are drink specials listed. The service was great....very friendly people.

    This place is amazing! Trifecta medium was the perfect sauce for our boil! Service was great, even on a super busy Saturday! Love the sinks in the restaurant area! Highly recommend!

    Time to go back and review. I like to revisit places after a few years and see what is different…read more Smoky Mo didn't disappoint. Places are successful because they stay the course and do what they do best. Today we went with the four meat platter, perfect amount for two people, brisket, pulled pork, turkey and sausage. With four side of coleslaw, mac and cheese, potato salad and cornbread. All meats are still sauced unless requested "on the side", but not so much to overwhelm the meat taste. Juicy flavorful pulled pork. Delicious smoked turkey. Brisket was just slightly dry but the sauce and nice bark made it enjoyable. The sausage was AMAZING, juicy and packed with flavor. Coleslaw in my opinion, could use a little more "wetness" but it was still delicious. What can I say about the mac and cheese and potato salad, people from the south, Texas to the Carolina's just know how to get it done. The "Texas Sweet Tea", if you are a diabetic do not drink, however this is a true southern tea, it's done the same all across the south, sugar with some tea thrown in. Four meats, four sides and two drinks with tip $50, not bad for two people, I've definitely spent more for food that didn't even come close to this. Once again Smoky Mo you did not disappoint. If you are a BBQ person this is STILL the best of Tucson. Get out and support this small local business!

    We are not in Texas but Tucson is close enough. Who doesn't like some good ole BBQ?…read more Here is what we ordered: - The Bashful Tray for 2 for $47. It comes with 1/2 lb sliced brisket, 1/2 lb of other meat of your choice, 3 sides, half a sour pickle and a smoked crack pie). The friendly cashier informed us the sausages were an additional $3 today so we decided to add it to our order as well. My major complaint about BBQ is dry, tough and overly salty meats. OMG, this was the most tender and juicy brisket I have ever had. And don't get me started on the pulled pork, it was perfectly seasoned. Just wished I had it on a bun instead. My son went crazy for the Sonoran spicy sausage. My favorite side was the dill potato salad. I had to ask, Toby the owner, where the cute name, Bashful Bandit Barbecue comes from. He said I was asking some great questions. Lol. Place used to be a biker's bar. When he took over he decided to just keep the name. We had a lovely and engaging conversation with him. He is one smart guy, graduated from NYU and Northern Arizona University. He welcomes each customer by asking where they are from. Who else does that?? Entire staff are incredibly friendly. Highly recommend this spot for the best BBQ in Tucson. You'll thank me. It was wonderful meeting you, Toby!!

    BIG DISCLAIMER: I'm not a big fan of BBQ! Despite that, I think Bashful Bandit is pretty darn good!…read more Met some family with several young kids in tow. We did the Bashful Tray: brisket, ribs, beans, potato salad and mac n cheese along with a pickle and a smoked crack pie. Added a sunflower crunch salad (vinegar coleslaw) a blueberry gouda sausage and a chile relleno sausage. Little ones had the Kiddo's plates with chicken. Everyone seemed to really like the meats. Mac n cheese and beans were just OK from what I was told. I ate a couple bites of each of the sausages, coleslaw, potato salad and a bite of the pie. Sausages were just OK for me. I loved the coleslaw and thought the potato salad was very dill pickle-y but delicious. The one thing that truly stand out for me: EXCELLENT customer service. The staff was so helpful in helping us choose items and they really seemed to care about whether their guests are enjoying the experience.

I loved this place and frankly, although great Mexican food in Tucson is a given, I didn't know they had good barbeque too. They had all my favorites, so my wife and I decided to split the The Big "Q" Platter for $38. This included Brisket, Pulled Pork, Tri-tip, Sausage, Turkey, two St. Louis Style Pork Ribs, and 4 slices of toast with our choice of two eight-ounce sides (we chose the baked beans and coleslaw. My favorites were the Ribs, Brisket, Tri-tip, and baked beans. The turky was solid and smokey. I'm not really a fan of sausage, but my wife enjoyed these. I loved that you could really taste the smokey taste and that everything was fresh, juicy, and tender. The baked beans were the kind of love, with pieces of pork throughout the mixture. Because we split this platter (with leftovers), it was quite a good deal. When the bill came, the waitress listed a bunch of things that qualified for an extra discount, so we scored an additional 10% off for being seniors. If I lived in Tucson, this place would be on my regular restaurant rotation, which is high praise indeed!

I hope management starts paying closer attention to how their staff treats incoming patrons. Your food might be good, but you are not that special. Show some respect to your customers.

As someone who frequented this restaurant for the last few years, I had a firsthand look at how things were run, and in my experience management operated very unprofessionally. It ultimately pushed me to stop supporting this business, and based on those experiences, I can no longer recommend it. There are far better BBQ options out there. From what I personally witnessed, the owner, David, was consistently disrespectful toward employees and created a company culture that I don't believe deserves support.

    I have to preface this review by stating as of this moment, I have not eaten my food, I'm writing…read morethis review based solely on my initial interaction and ordering. While, I don't live under a rock. I do live on the complete opposite side of town from Rudy's so I've never actually eaten there before but I had an appointment today about a quarter of a mile away, so took the opportunity to give it a try. I was immediately greeted by a person in what must be the store area and when I looked a little confused, she asked if I had ever been here before when I said no she told me how to go around the corner. Check out the menu and order from there. This is where we hit my five star experience. I came at a good time at about 3:30 so there weren't any other people standing in line. I stood to the side and checked out the menu and was a little confused by the brisket options. One said lean brisket and one said moist brisket I went to the counter and ask the girl at the register, (Diana) what the difference was. She asked me if I had ever been to Rudy's and when I said no, she said, very excitedly well, let me give you a sample of each of them and then went on to explain the lean brisket was just that and the moist brisket was just the opposite more fat, but more flavor. Each had a good flavor, but I went with the moist brisket as well as pulled pork. The menu shows orders in half pound increments however Diana told me I could get as much or little as I wanted. She said she's had people get as little as an eighth of a pound or something as strange as 5 2/3 pound. I liked that flexibility because I was a little torn with feedthree people if a half pound would not be enough or a full pound of each would be too much. She then explained to me if I wanted a cold side they were in a self-serve refrigerator to the side and also offered me samples of those. My BF is very picky about coleslaw and potato salad so I took a sample of each. Both were good so I went with both. She also offered me hot samples and recommended the creamed corn. But since it was 109° outside I passed on those. She said my order would come with bread a choice of either white or wheat sliced. And I could have as many slices as I needed. She then filled me in on the Fixin's bar, which had cherry peppers, jalapeños, and carrots, onions, pickles, and an assortment of condiments, like mustard, mayonnaise and horseradish. I chose a large drink to enjoy on the drive home and she recommended the sweet tea or an Arnold Palmer. I really can't say enough great things about Diana. Not only was she helpful, but she was so outgoing and friendly and seemed to really love her job which you don't see a lot anymore. I'll update my review once we have a chance to eat our food, but I would seriously go into Rudy's again just to talk to Diana. As my grandma would say, she's a treasure.

The ribs and brisket are so good they don't need any sauce added, but Black Market provides sauce for those who want it. They also have chicken and pulled pork.

Brooks, the owner, runs a well-oiled machine. The portions are generous and the prices are fair. They're a food truck, so you'll have to follow them on social media to find out where they'll be but it's definitely worth the trip. I usually catch them at Caps & Corks at the corner of W River Rd and W Orange Grove Rd. Give them a try. You won't regret it.

I liked the Bbq sauce even though it was sweet, I generally like it a little vinegary. 2.. They are a well oiled machine for 2 people cranking out foo that is good and quick. 3.
