I haven’t had this good of king crab in a very long time. I can only find king crab really when I go to Washington State. But this place beats any king crab I have had before! And I’m not lying I’m a picky eater and a judgment eater when it comes to king crab. If you’re looking for a good sauce I would recommend the California blend. Also I want to give an acknowledgment to Alexandra! Her service was phenomenal she really went out of her way and went the extra mile to let me try all the sauces and took the time to explain everything on the menu that I had questions about. She is a keeper!!You guys keep doing what you’re doing and props to the chef!! You all really know what you’re doing in that kitchen! I will definitely be back and bringing the family!! ☺️

I got the special. The price was very good. The food was excellent. The service was very good. There were 2 servers for a half dozen people and they were very attentive. The one was actually half sprinting around to attend to things. I also really like the sink setup they have setup in the back of the restaurant for when you get messy. Side note: I ordered a Blue Moon on draft and they thought to bring it with an orange slice without even asking which is awesome in my book.

Great place for some seafood. I had the 1lb shrimp and crab cluster boil. Similar to other places, you can customize the seasonings and spice level. You can also add items like cob corn, potatoes, sausage, etc. It was delicious. Great addition to the area.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and got the jumbo seafood platter. The serving size was incredibly generous for four people. Service was also fast and good in a family friendly atmosphere. The decorations were fun and unique! Will definitely come back!

First visit – will be back. Miss Angry Crab Shack in Ahwatukee? The seafood is here! Lots of options from fried baskets to select your own combos for a boil. Has some chicken items too. Has beer, limited wine & cocktails.

recently visited the new LA Crab Shack location for the first time after hearing several positive recommendations. While the atmosphere was welcoming, the culinary experience was a mix of highs and lows.
I sampled a variety of dishes, including the Cajun wings—which were the highlight of the meal—and several fried appetizers. Unfortunately, the fried elements (catfish, shrimp, and frog legs) did not meet expectations; the batter was quite light and lacked the crispness and seasoning I anticipated. Specifically, the catfish had a somewhat soft texture and the portions were smaller than expected. Furthermore, the fettuccine Alfredo lacked a distinct flavor profile.
While this visit was underwhelming, I am open to returning to sample their signature seafood boil, which I have yet to try.”

Really enjoyed the seafood boil with shrimp and sausage. The flavor of the house sauce was on the sweeter side. The shrimp were very fresh and were good sizes. A plentiful portion for one person. However, for the price of the add-on sausage, 4 thin slices, I thought the price was a bit high. Overall it was an appealing and very filling meal. The dining area was relatively busy on a Saturday evening.

We’re visiting from Houston, TX, and were pleasantly surprised by how excellent the food is here! The flavors reminded us of home — very much in that true Houston/Louisiana style. The seafood was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. If you love bold Gulf Coast, Cajun flavors, this place is definitely worth a visit. They even have seafood platter. Highly recommended!

Staff was excellent, very welcoming and attentive.
Food was ultimately disappointing.
Flavor: 1/5
Serving size: 3.5/5, average serving size
Price: $$/pretty average for seafood
Don’t tell the U.S government about how much oil they use here in their Cajun pasta or they might try to establish a democracy in the kitchen. Boil bag was average.

I’m so happy I don’t have to go too far for seafood anymore! Went on a Saturday night, restaurant was not busy. “K”, our server was so polite, checked in multiple times to make sure that we were set. I ordered the seafood boil; tasted very good and so fresh. The fried calamari was amazing. We also had the shrimp pasta, also a very good choice the fried oysters. So pleased with having another dining out option, that’s not too far from home!
