Angry crab is a restaurant that serves Louisiana style cuisine comprised of boiled seafood in creole/Cajun seasoning. While you can order seafood sandwiches or fried baskets, they are known for their boiled bags. The way it works is you select the type of seafood (ie shrimp, crayfish, blue crab, lobster, catfish, king crab) you'd like by the pound. Then you select the type of seasoning and the level of spicyness. You can add corn on the cob, sausage, or potato for a little extra. Google slow country boil if you want pictures and details on this style of cooking. We ordered boil bags of shrimp and the dungess crab with sausage. The crab was amazing with lots of crab meat and while the shrimp wasn't as exciting, it was still fresh and delicious. The two spices trifecta and old fashioned boil were equally great. The trifecta is garlic heavy and the old fashioned boil is spicy. I'd recommend taking the heat level easy, especially if you're ordering the old fashion boil. We also got a dozen oysters. While they're not the best I've ever had (I'm from MD), they were fresh and huge. The fried shrimp basket with BBQ beans and sweet potato fries were also good but not as good as the boil bags.
Service was outstanding. Waters were refilled constantly and our waitress was attentive despite how busy it was in a Tuesday night. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table of 4 around 6:30pm. It sounds like the wait can get pretty long and I believe it based on how crowded it was on a Tuesday.
I'd recommend asking for crab tools and gloves if you're going for the boil bags. They make your life so much easier!
