From the moment my husband and I walked in till the time we left had an amazing experience. The food was delicious. Came for my birthday lunch.

Great service and great food! Kenzie was our server. She was great! She was enthusiastic, attentive, and knew the menu well. We started with a pick three appetizer with two choices being a double order of fried shrimp and the other option of lemon pepper wings. My kid and I had the shrimp, snow crab, and lobster boil. It was a good amount of food cooked perfectly. My Husband isn't a fan of shellfish so he had a "really good" burger and really liked the wings. Another thing we enjoyed was the atmosphere. It wasn't dark like a lot of restaurants, which makes me wonder what that dark lighting was hiding. It's a fun cute place to eat. Make sure you get your picture taken and don't forget to wear your bib!

Tried Angry Crab Shack couple days ago! The king crab was delicious — sweet, juicy, and cooked just right. The Cajun crawfish wasn’t quite what I expected though; it could’ve used more seasoning and garlic for that extra flavor kick. The fried pickles were really good — crispy and tasty! The clams were okay, nothing special but not bad either. The atmosphere was great, and the place has a fun, casual vibe. Service was okay, friendly but could be a bit more attentive. Just sharing some honest feedback to help the restaurant improve — not to bring it down. Every business can get better with a little constructive feedback. I’ll definitely come back and try other items!

Best seafood restaurant I have ever been to in my life. We stopped in when on vacation in Vegas, I’m so glad we did. The lobster and crab legs are amazing, add your flavours and spices, so good!! You will not be disappointed.

Super fun if you're ready to get messy. Maya was friendly and knew the menu. Someone was having a birthday and the whole team brought the energy! Food was great, yummy seafood boil. Gumbo was pretty good too! And we got to meet Leo the lobster. Good times!

Our family had a great time during lunch! The service was awesome, very attentive and mindful. They also let the kids touch the live lobster and crab from the tank, which was the highlight of their lunch. The lunch menu has awesome options for great pricing.

Edit: seven months later from the first review I’ve written and can I just say that the service has only gotten better, the people have only become more friendly, and the food is just that much tastier! You would think after going to a place weekly, you would be sick of the food, but not here! From entering and seeing the bright and happy Jared, to being seated and serviced by the most spectacular Kenzie, and to just indulge in the most delicious crab this town has to offer! I just had to come back and write another review! Thank you guys for always hitting the nail on the head! We’ve come here three times now in the last month! That’s how amazing the food is, with even better services! The first time, was for my birthday, and Andrea really went above and beyond to make our experience amazing! From her treatment towards each and every one of us, to the blow horn happy birthday in the end! We’ve come back twice since, and both times have been splendid!! Thank you gals for making us the happiest crabs in town

UPDATE: On our second visit, Mark treated us very well. He is an excellent server; helpful, knowledgeable and provided plenty of soda refills. We ordered a variety of food including the Shack Trio, the Queen crab, Shrimp Cocktail and a house salad. The Shack Trio, served with a corn cob and small potato, included a little lobster tail, some snow crab legs and a half pound of headless peel and eat shrimp. The small lobster tail was properly cooked, the crab legs were very good and the shrimp were delicious. The Queen crab was big and tasty. The shrimp cocktail included 10 plump juicy shrimp and delicious horseradish cocktail sauce. My wife said she had to take a break just eating that! The house salad included tomatoes, cucumbers, croutons, a spring mix, and housemade ranch dressing. The interior is nicely decorated. They have a bar and lots of seating options. Televisions all over the place showing a variety of sports and entertainment. Will, a manager, came by to check on us. He was very nice. The fried cornbread with ice cream dessert is amazing! Overall, we are glad we came back and look forward to our next visit! FIRST VISIT: Jules did an excellent job serving us. She was helpful and friendly. We were impressed with all the variety, including the lunch specials, which were very reasonably priced. Nice interior with a fun atmosphere with plenty of decorations and television screens all over. We all ordered the shrimp and crab lunch special, which was fantastic! The generous portion of snow crab legs was big and perfectly cooked. The shrimp was ample, plump and juicy; easy to peel. This is some of the best crab I've had in a long time. The potatoes and corn topped off a great crab boil. Their clam chowder was delicious, had tons of clams and a little bit of bacon bits. It was served with parmesan encrusted dipping bread. Several flavors of sauce from which to choose, with many heat levels. Our soda and tea was refilled many times. We were very happy to be served crab crackers, zippers, and scissors. All of those are very nice to have while eating crab, while wearing their provided bibs. You're lucky to get one or two of those tools at any other crab boil. And, since I'm mentioning the place setting, a knife, spoon and fork were also provided; also rare in any restaurant these days to get all three of those. They have live lobsters and dungeness crabs (one did seem rather angry) to pick out for your meal. Overall, we were very impressed with this restaurant's food, service and decor. Look out for that giant shark! We look forward to our return!
