The scallops were well prepared. I’m glad I had the “sauce” on the side. Basically, it tasted like theater popcorn butter. Not even a hint of lemon or pepper. My wife’s boil was also well prepared, but it wasn’t until we left that she realized they hadn’t included the potatoes or corn. The atmosphere is more on the industrial side.

Couldn’t even eat the mild trifecta food we ordered it was too spicy. Quite a few mussels were closed shut, and the whole meal went in the garbage. Extremely dissapointing especially when your taste is set on seafood. I had to feed me and my child something else. This was the 3rd order they messed up at this location. Others were missing items when ordered from Doordash and food was delivered wide open each time. Unsanitary. Unacceptable and will no longer go to this location.

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.

Cool spot. Been wanting to come for years and always forget about it in this shopping center. Service was good. Lots of seafood which is what we wanted. Only thing I would improve upon was the corn on the Cobb is kinda soggy and the sausage is odd and tasteless. Lobster, shrimp and crab all awesome. Had enough to take home and have another meal.

Went here with my boyfriend and his parents because he’s obsessed with seafood. I don’t like seafood, so I got the cheeseburger and it was amazing My boyfriend got the seafood boil for two and demolished the whole thing. He said it was the best seafood he’s ever eaten. They seemed a little understaffed so we had to wait a bit on service, but everyone was very friendly.

Our waitress was amazing she was very quick and happy. We had to send our popcorn shrimp back because it was hot on the outside still cold on the inside they called the chef over *crystal* and all she said was ouch I burned my finger. Very loud so everyone could hear. I’m glad you only touched the outside of the food and wasn’t worried about the food poisoning you would’ve gave our 2 year old. I will forever avoid this angry crab shack.

Arrived at 11:14am the second couple sitting down since open at 11am. First time at Angry Crab figured we love seafood and heard so much about it. Waitress was very kind. We ordered shrimp and grits which was pretty bland, the seafood sampler they were out of clam strips so we got calamari, shrimp and hush puppies. Then also ordered Gator Nuggets that came with Cajun seasoned fries and coleslaw. All the fried food came out dark. Oil hasn’t been changed in like 2 days and food was chewy, very gummy and dry. The Margarita was left over house from the night before. You could taste that it was sitting there. When asked by the waitress we explained everything and said we’ll pay for everything but we won’t be back. She apologized and sent the manager over. We showed her the color of the food, broke a gator nugget open for her to see how dry it was. She didn’t even argue the fact of the oil, all she could say is that she hopes not (oil being old). We explained that it’s not in their hospitality it’s the kitchen being allowed to serve this. The restaurant is in a senior area and maybe they’ve been getting away with it because their clientele isn’t so familiar. But you can see in the pics for a just opened for the day place the color of the food is terrible. Taste wasn’t good. They did comp $22 of the $55 bill. We explained they didn’t have to buy appreciated it. Don’t like sending food back. No trust in that. Needless to say got home 15 minutes later and all the food came up. Never again.
