Angry Crab Shack - Surprise

The majority of the menu is NOT crab... ? pretty disappointing. If you want to eat from a wet plastic bag or out of a basket, then this is your place, I guess. The decor is nice. It's clean. We weren't ignored, but our waitress was really pushy when I was slow to order. Sorry, I just kept thinking this menu sucks. Consider changing your name to Angry shrimp? ? It's also so full of transplants I felt like I was at Sky Harbor. Got to hear every travel detail of loud mouth soup Florida guy behind us. It's very loud in there. Everyone is seated relatively close together and it echoes. We just wanted to smash some crab legs. Nope. Next time we will go to Joe's or LA

The food was excellent however we went with a party of 8 granted we were doing separate checks which I told the waiter up front but he didn't separate the checks til the end forcing an 18% gratuity added which he definitely did not deserve since I had to get up from my seat 7 times and ask him for something for the table because we never saw him I don't think the gratuity should be allowed it seems if they know they are getting it they do a terrible job so excellent food awful service if I'm paying $216 fir dinner I better not have to get up and ask u for anything especially 7 times! I don't think we will go back again.

My family and I tried this place for the first time while I was in town visiting. I have to say I wasn't impressed with their dairy free options. I went with the traditional boil, which is water and old bay seasoning. The mussels, corn, potatoes, and egg I ordered were extremely bland. Water and seasoning just don't mix honestly, and there are so many options like oil or plant based butter that would take it to the next level. My Dad and step Mom enjoyed the lobster rolls, jambalaya, and fried shrimp basket. Our server was Drake, who was extremely helpful. He even said he'd take care of us the next time we stopped in since we got charged for an extra drink. We definitely appreciated the service. The bathrooms even supply Mom's with wipes and diapers. I thought that was a really thoughtful touch. I will say that with ordering online, which we tried the night before, doesn't provide all the options that are available. For instance, doordash doesn't offer certain sides, and ubereats require you make a selection for extra sauce and sides. If they tweak a couple things I'd definitely return when I'm in town.

160$ for 2 people, 2 drinks, i suppose if you are from here you dont know any better you think its good. I know why its called the ANGRY CRAB,, CAUSE YOU ANGRY WHEN YOU LEAVE.. IM GLAD I WENT.. THAT WAY I WILL NEVER GO AGAIN.

The atmosphere was cool, and it reminds me of living in Texas. There were no issues with service. They were attentive and helpful. Drinks were awesome, hurricane and tongue groove. T G was a bit on the sweet side, but that's right up the wife's alley of drinks, but we shared both because they were both delicious. Though, $12 for the size seemed a bit much. Cheese burger was worth it, but 2.0 lbs of crawfish could've been better. It seems the crawfish are cooked, placed in a double bag, and then the sauce is added. The bag and shells have some flavor, but the crawfish were really bland. I'm not sure if that's what they actually did, but it seems like it. Maybe if they cooked the crawfish with the selected sauce, they would've actually taste like the sauce. After eating there, I've been told by others that these places are a hit or miss, and unfortunately, this lunch was a miss flavor-wise. Also, I'm not sure if this is a health code issue or is standard in places like this, but as soon as the seafood got to the table, so did the flies. The whole time we were eating, they were too. If we were outside, I wouldn't mention this as it would be expected. But dining inside with flies all around landing us and our food was not a fun experience.
