Make Sure To Come Hungry To The Build-Your-Own Seafood-Boil Restaurant, Angry Crab, In Arizona
We Texans love a good seafood boil – especially when its contents can be customized to our own unique preferences. That’s exactly what Angry Crab Shack offers, making for a dining experience you’ll wish could never end.
Originating in Mesa, Angry Crab Shack has spread like wildfire through the surrounding area — and for good reason. This unique restaurant allows guests to build their own seafood boil, making for an entirely customizable dining experience.
The atmosphere looks just like the interior of a boat. Wooden posts tied together with rope, portholes, and fishing nets take patrons on a magical underwater adventure. You'll even get a glimpse at some of the menu items before even sitting down!
Before eating, everyone puts on a bib adorned with the restaurant's logo. It's become an unofficial tradition over the years, but one that proves necessary — after all, manners won't be your first priority in the face of a meal this scrumptious.
Step up to the counter and see just how simple the three-step ordering process is. First up, pick your catch: several types of crab, lobster, shrimp, and crawfish are among the available choices. Next is sauce, with selections such as lemon pepper, garlic, and Sweet N Tangy. Spice level is the final decision you'll make, increasing in heat on a scale of 0-6.
Add some corn on the cob, boiled red potatoes, and sausage for an extra touch of authenticity. Extras like BBQ beans and onion rings really take your meal to the next level.
If seafood boils aren't your cup of tea, several other menu items guarantee everyone leaves the table satisfied. Fresh oysters, gumbo, seafood baskets, and lobster rolls are just a few options out of many to choose from.
