| - I've eaten at 2 valley Angry Crab Shacks and absolutely love their food. I ate at this Peoria location last Saturday with my in-laws. We brought them to celebrate their anniversary and my mother-in-law's birthday. It was my mother in law's first authentic boil, and though she was a bit worried about going all in without a plate and traditional silverware she ended up loving it.
The food at both locations is always so amazingly delicious, and the prices are really fair for such amazing seafood. I love that there are so many choices; including healthy items. I always get the raw Oysters on a half shell and I'm never disappointed! They go for $8 for half a dozen which to me is an amazing price. I usually love the Mahi Mahi grilled basket, but at this location they did not have it anymore. I ordered the salmon (so good), and replaced my rice with freshly steamed veggies. Let me tell you about the veggies; they were so beautifully steamed and no butter or oil. The assortment of veggies was very impressive as they had a slice of Taro root and what I think was a turnip along with cauliflower, green beans, bell peppers, and carrots. I noticed they had that choice available in their boil bags as well, which is great for vegans or vegetarians.
Our server was honestly one of the best I've had at a restaurant in years. So good my other half made sure to let him and his manager know. He went above and beyond, and was patient with my in-laws. My father-in-law is allergic to pork, and it got brought up when asked if he wanted to add sausage to his boil. It did not even dawn on me to think about it, but the server let us know they cleaned a pot to do his separately since they are cooked with sausage normally. We didn't even ask him to check on it, but he went above and beyond to avoid any cross contamination issues.
My partner and I were very pleased with the experience at this location, and his parents walked away happy. My mother-in-law even called us two days later to thank us again for such an amazing dinner. To please my in-laws means the food was delicious and service was impeccable. That's a big deal! I highly recommend trying out one of the valley locations as soon as you get a chance. If you are near Peoria do not hesitate to stop by for amazing food and friendly service!
