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

Our granddaughters picked this place, and we were quite surprised by how good and fresh it was, and they were happy, so thats all that mattered! The host was a little off her game, which was not a good way to begin. She told us twice she would help us, which never happened....her hoop earrings probably got her a little tired. Our waitress Tori was very pleasant and helpful... great service! We had the Family Feast mild flavor, which was very delicious. I can't say too much about the cocktail I had. All I remember about it was the jalapeño garnish. It had no flavor whatsoever. It literally tasted like lemon water, so disappointed. We will definitely be back for a 2nd time. The place is very family friendly. Everyone who was there seemed to be having a great time. Bring a sharpie so you can write on their walls! read more

The food and service were decent but the prices were too high. The ambiance wasn't there at all. It was like going to a loud sports bar with bright unflattering lighting. I wish I made an order for pickup. read more

This is one of the worser, not horrible but not great, experiences I've had at Angry Crab Shack. Usually we go to the one on Grant but we hadn't been here since the it was a new location and wanted to check it out. I don't know what was different but the vibe was completely different. The ambience of the Grant location is so much better. The service here was also not very good at all. We were estimated 15 min wait and eventually waited 25+ mins while huge groups were being seated before us even when they arrived after us. I do understand that the table for twos could have not been available until way later but the hostess kept going missing and making new people walking in wait without being helped at all. Once we were sat no one came to take our drink order until about ten minutes later and came back 2 times to ask what drinks we were getting again. Our waiter rarely checked in on us and we got our bags before all of our appetizers were out so it was just a strange experience. The food was the only good thing about coming here. I got 1 pound of snow crab and it seemed like more crab than the Grant location gives so if you are willing to compromise crab meat for service it would be worth it honestly. The hush puppies are so dense and flavorful and absolutely addictive when dipped in ranch. The edamame is a light appetizer and perfectly sauced and not at all spicy either. Cajun french fries are a classic and pairs great with anything you order. So on the food front you can't really go wrong here. read more

A dirty restaurant...loud music like a club, couldn't even enjoy conversation and "seafood" that was way overpriced, poorly cooked and just a waste of money. Our server however was very nice. So do NOT recommend read more

Overcooked seafood with bitter overcooked garlic butter. I wish this was a one and only experience but it wasn't. Not impressed with a drunk owner/manager at the bar being disrespectful to staff and demanding for his own needs. Good luck guys. I tried, but not coming back. read more

I ate here with three friends last night. We split an order of a dozen raw oysters ($20), served with cocktail sauce, lemon wedges, and Tabasco sauce and grated horseradish upon our request. I also had a bowl of gumbo ($7), which comes with a small loaf of "soppin bread". I enjoyed everything. The menu is a mix of very affordable and very expensive; we stuck to the affordable side, but no one was unhappy with their meal. Service was good. The atmosphere is casual, as one would expect of a place with "shack" in its name. We sat around chatting for a long time after we finished eating, and no one tried to rush us out. read more

Angry Crab Shack gives you the down home seafood boil experience you're hoping for and doesn't skimp on the part where you get your hands dirty! No utensils, no plates, just butcher paper over your table and some cracking tools. Our waitress, Zaundi, was super friendly and walked me through the ordering process (you choose your protein, your sauce, the spice level, and then any add-ins). I ordered a michelada which they make the mix in house and it was amazing! My boil was snow crab with lemon pepper, garlic, mild spice with veggies and potatoes. My mom got snow crab as well with just garlic sauce and no spice. Everything came out relatively fast and the crab was delicious! I will definitely be coming back. The only reason the place isn't getting 5 stars is the environment, the place has a bit of an awkward layout probably because there's been so many other restaurants at this location in the past. I think it could have a better flow. read more

The food was excellent and service was great even though we went on a super busy Saturday for dinner. Me and my wife got the Market price bag of naked shrimp with sausage, potatoes and corn on the cob. The waiter was super helpful in explaining how to order. There were also plates on the menu that looked great, these ranged from salmon, crab cakes and catfish to mention a few. The only reason they are not getting a five is service was a bit slow to no fault of wait staff. They were working hard on large groups and us. Looks like they needed one more person. Other than that nit pik I would recommend this place for good food, fun, and great atmosphere. read more

The location on Broadway is by far the best! The crab was cooked perfectly so we had no trouble cracking. Our server Dan was AMAZING, he needs a raise. Dapper Dan you rock brother! The service was amazing, the atmosphere was great for a date. I would have added pictures but we tore that crab up!! 5 stars will be back. read more

Okay, so we have been to Angry Crab Shack 4 times in the last three months because it's my husband's current food obsession so I think I have a pretty good summation of the food. I almost always get the snow crab boil with the trifecta sauce in mild (still spicy enough to make my nose run) with potatoes, sausage, and shrimp with the head off. It's saucy and flavorful with tons of garlic. There is nothing generic about this crab boil sauce. It is so delicious. The only bad thing I'll say about it is it can be inconsistent with the spicing and heat. Sometimes it's truly mild and sometimes I'm sniffling because it's so spicy. My husband said the same thing. He orders it hot and sometimes he can barely eat it it's so hot and others he can't taste the heat. We have ordered a few things outside of the boil like the lobster roll and the bread for sopping and they were both super disappointing compared to the boil so now we have a rule not to order anything other than the crab boil and Cajun fries. I had the lobster roll the first time I went and it was simply ice cold chunks of lobster on bread with a cup of melted butter. Underwhelming. The drinks are amazing! I always order the Spiced Shack and love it so much I bought the ingredients to make at home. Service is always friendly, albeit a little forgetful, but they all hustle, especially the bartenders. I happen to like the vibe. It feels like a hole in the wall, it's unpretentious, it welcomes being messy with your family and I can't get enough of the 90s and early 2000s hip hop and r&b music! It just makes for a fun and nostalgic environment. It's pricey but I'd challenge you to find anywhere else close to that crab boil in this town. read more

Service was nothing shy of terrible. Waiter barley checked on us forgot to give up gloves for our boil brought out the gloves in a wet bin along with our bibs. Food was okay it was my first time having a seafood boil and the food was not terrible. Waiter brought out our sides before our food so we had finished our sides before we even got to enjoy the seafood boil... The general feel of the place was ok they've got writing all over the walls which is different. The hostess at the front young Hispanic guy, kept walking back and forth from the front to the kitchen loudly speaking with the waiters which was a bit annoying as he bumped into my seat a few times with 0 apology. This place wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't run by teenagers who have no concept of what good service is. All in all the experience was about a 1 with the food being a 3. I would not go back simply because when I go to a place I'd like to enjoy my meal and be served correctly read more

Taste was just as I recall. Server was knowledgeable to advise us for exactly what we were looking for. The Trifecta flavor is the Go-To! Fun atmosphere. read more

I ordered food today from Uber Eats to treat myself the spicy edemame was good . However, the gumbo was good unfortunately the rice was hard and was not soft nor cooked all the way .... It's a shame as I was really craving gumbo . Guess I will have to stick to making my own . read more

Went on Mother's Day and while it wasn't busy we were sat right away. There was some delay in figuring out who our server was going to be, so that took about 10 mins. I will say the food came out staggered and not all at once, and my wife's food was late. Overall the food was delicious. I love seafood, and I will say the hush puppies were different, just not my liking. The crab boils were great. read more

Angry Crab restaurant, this is so much better than Red Lobster . If you haven't yet, you need to check this place out. We went for the lunch special $15 (1/2lb snow crab, 1/2lb shrimp, red potatoe, and corn on the cob) and that includes your drink, too. About the same cost as a fat food meal combo at McDonalds or the likes. Service was top notch (thank you Dapper Dan), food was good quantity, delicious and plentiful. This was our 5th time here... it never disappoints! Also, there's places to sit outside but the inside has some great decor with live crab and lobster tanks. Some might say it's a little pricey; however, I feel it's priced right for quality fresh seafood in the desert. Thank you Angry Crab , keep up the good stuff and we'll keep coming back. read more

Had yet another amazing meal here. My daughter and I love it! Dapper Dan took great care of us

I picked up a to go order so I can't really say anything about ambiance or service. I ordered the catfish basket to go. Underwhelming is really all I can say. read more

I don't know what is going on w/ customer service in Tucson?! I came in today (Mother's Day) not feeling my best. Yes, I am a mom. And if you are a mom, then you know what it is to feel unseen and unappreciated. I came here because I wasn't having the best Mother's Day, and this place is one of my favorites because it's the closest to me where I can get a decent crab broil. I came in and sat at the bar, since I was alone. Three different servers were behind the bar at different points in time. No one acknowledged me. No one greeted me. No one even offered me water. TALK ABOUT FEELING INVISIBLE. I sat there w/ menus that were already on the counter. I knew what I wanted to eat, as I said, I've been here before. It wasn't until, I started to feel like a bother, that someone carrying food to patrons that were sitting at the bar w/ me, already eating their appetizers; asked if I had been served. By this point, I was gathering my things to leave. What is going on w/ Tucson? read more

First time coming here and had to wait to order. We waited about 20 min. Not good service especially for being the first time. The waitress that we flagged down gave a little attitude for being tired. All we wanted to do was order. Today is Sunday @ 8:30 PM. I will say that the food came to the table quick and was very good. Just the beginning was not good service. I would try this place again. read more

Dapper Dan took care of us and made sure to show us the ropes for our first time here! Service was amazing, fast and friendly! Food was amazing as well, great first time for a sea food boil :) read more

I prefer this location because the seating is better than the other location. Food is very good, l had the king crab and lobster tail(I don't like spice, so just butter) My friend had shrimp and lobster tail. Again, the food was very good. Drinks were weak and service was rough and intermittent. Not sure what our server was dealing with, but we were underserved. Dessert was not the best and not as described on the menu. Our separate checks were co mingled, so my friend just paid me for her second drink in cash. Again, great food, not so great service. We still tipped 18-20 %. Maybe we will try the other location as they do have better service. read more

Very fun place to go with family or friends. Reasonable prices for seafood in the desert. They also have a beautiful bar with creative cocktails and a great beer selection for people in the neighborhood just looking to grab a drink. Lots of food in addition to the famous crab boil. Friendly bartenders! read more

Holy crab!!! I went for lunch and had the best red beans and rice with grilled chicken I have EVER had and decided to go back the next evening and had a big seafood boil of Snow Crab, shrimp, mussels and corn. My mouth is watering simply typing this!!! Such friendly service and amazing people!! Wow wow wow......seriously!!! read more

I waited to write this review to give myself some time evaluate. I have no problem with the causal dining but they have taken to a new level. Of cheap. I ask for glass because I could taste the paper from the paper cup. For $3 you think they could spring for solo cup. The food wasn't that great shrimp were over cooked and rubbery. May I suggest that staff pitch in to buy the hostess shorts that are bit bigger. read more

We had gator bites, lobster rolls, jambalaya and the Love Shack from the drink menu. All in all its not a bad place. I've had better lobster rolls in Maine and better gator in Louisiana but Angry Crab Shack is a solid 4 stars to stray from Mexican food in Tucson. We found the service pretty good and the staff were friendly. read more

This was a major no from me. I couldn't get away from the smell for days, even after multiple showers. The food and the atmosphere were just not pleasant. I don't understand the appeal. The French fries and ranch dressing were good though. read more

My son and I visited over a month ago. Service was fine. The interior is festive and nautical. I'd love to go back to try some of the other options. We had po'boys. These are reasonably priced options. The food was okay. But, many people rave about this place. I'd definitely try it, again. read more

This "Angry Crab" made me ANGRY!!!!!! This was by far the WORST seafood place I have been to in my life! My daughter and I came from Seattle WA because my daughter was admitted to the university of Arizona, she was trying out for the cheer team and didn't make ot. I figured I would bring her to a delicious crab dinner here at the angry crab because she likes seafood boils but boy was wrong. Not only did they not include potatoes and corn in the $125 seafood bag that I ordered when they did bring the corn it is frozen and mushy. You can't even bite down on it. It turns too mush. When I asked if corn was frozen, he said yeah at the end of the night things get a little funky around here. I just wish I would've known what time of the day to come to the establishment I've never been at a restaurant that has a time of day where Food is better than other times so if you want to come here, I guess come before 8 o'clock. I don't know. I'm never coming back. Good luck. read more

Expensive but very good. Had the King Crab, Lobster Tails, Scallops, Shrimp and it was all good. Good selection of beers on tap and decent service. It's a special event place for us but we will go back. read more

Good service and the food was delicious. Enjoyed the music playing as well as the ambiance. Would recommend for anyone.

Daniel our bartender was amazing never an empty glass. We love the seafood and the beer is ice cold. If you're in Tucson you must eat there! read more

The Food & drinks were amazing! 4 of us ate here and we all left stuffed! The Cons- Appetizer came out with our meal. It took forever to get our check & Togo boxes. & the restaurant wasn't busy.. The biggest reason why I only left 2 stars.. We paid with a card, a few days later, our card got charged more than our bill& tip were! Definitely unacceptable. We paid well over $200.00 and to be charged more, it's just not okay! The food and drinks were amazing.. service was Meh and this really blew the whole experience. Be cautious of how much they take out of your account! read more

My son and I enjoyed lunch there a few times. Atmosphere is friendly. Service was fast and relaxed. Food was delicious. No complaints from us. Definitely will return. read more

I've dined here several times and the food and service is good, except when they're short-handed. Their gumbo isn't as good as the Parish's, but it costs a lot less. When in season, the fresh crawfish ate outstanding, but the fried soft-shelled crabs are heavy in the batter, but skimpy on the number of crabs. Ask for a sharpie and doodle and draw pictures while waiting for your meal, read more

I come here at least 2 times a months. I love the crab shack and the service is very awesome. love the crab shack!

Service was sub par. Food not that taste no flavor. Over not very good. Prices very high for what you get.
