I'm not sure who decided to combine a southern style seafood restaurant with a BBQ joint but that man deserves some sort of humanitarian award for his efforts in making stomachs and taste buds very excited.
Came here with my girlfriend on a Saturday night after hearing great reviews from other yelpers. We did have about a 45 minute wait but it was well worth it and kind of fun to track using the app they use.
I got the shrimp with sausage, potatoes, corn and the trifecta sauce medium spicy. My girlfriend got the snow crab with trifecta sauce mild. Everything was fantastic and thank god we got the warning from the waiter that the spices run hot as even the medium gave me a nice little burn without impacting flavor. The flavors were fantastic and there is just something fun about getting all that juicy goodness by peeling your food by hand and dunking in the sauce. My only gripe was that my shrimp were over cooked just enough to get a bit mealy.
The corn was fantastic and just absorbed all the butter it was cooked in and the trifecta sauce making for a ton of flavor that hits your taste buds in a rush. The potatoes were good as well and what you expect. The
Now you're probably asking yourself about the BBQ I mentioned and why I haven't discussed that, the answer is I was saving the best for last. Much like we did with our meal where we pushed the BBQ to the side while the seafood took the focus. In hindsight waiting may have been a mistake. We ordered a 1/2lbs of the pulled pork along with some corn bread and man was it good. Not only was it good it was it good it was some of the best pulled pork I have had, and not just in AZ. While not quite on par with my favorites in St. Louis it also wasn't far being either. Was not dried out, had a great smokey flavor while other subtleties of the spice rub used came through. Not to mention that was the biggest 1/2lbs pile of meat I have seen. The BBQ sauce was good as well but not even needed and that says a lot from a sauce lover like me. The cornbread was also great not too mealy and just the right level of sweetness.
I will be back at Angry Crab soon for more delicious goodness especially when it felt like we dined like kings and queens for a very reasonable price.
