Angry Crab Shack, Seafood restaurant in Mesa, United States
Angry Crab Shack is a seafood restaurant in Mesa, Arizona, serving crab, shrimp, and other shellfish tossed in Cajun spices and a choice of sauces. Dishes arrive in bags, and diners pick their spice level and sauce when they order.
Angry Crab Shack was founded in Mesa, Arizona, and over time opened locations in several other states including Texas, Nevada, Georgia, and Alabama. The original Mesa location was the first in what became a small regional chain.
At Angry Crab Shack, diners eat with their hands, wear bibs, and get their seafood served in bags directly on the paper-covered table. This eating style comes from Cajun coastal tradition and turns the meal into something closer to a shared activity than a formal dinner.
The restaurant is set up for groups of many sizes and also offers catering for private events and corporate gatherings. Booking ahead is a good idea for larger parties, especially on busy evenings.
Although the place is known for seafood, the menu also includes Po'Boys, cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, and tofu-based dishes. This means that people who do not eat fish can still join a group meal and find something to order.
