| - I have been wanting to come to the Angry Crab ever since it opened. Tons of my friends rave about this place so it was definitely on my list, but I'm rarely in the area so the opportunity just hasn't been there. Finally had the chance to come here for dinner on a Thursday night around 6pm. The restaurant was packed but we only had to wait three minutes for a table (although the waitress said the wait can be up to TWO HOURS on weekends!!! Crazy!).
Our waitress, Julie, gave us a rundown of our seafood options and how to order - pick a meat, pick your seasonings, add extra spice if you want, and select any extras/sides (corn, potatoes, etc). I got a pound of snow crab legs with the "trifecta" seasoning (Cajun seasoning, lemon, salt, and garlic) and my brother got a whole lobster with the Pacific Rim seasoning (coconut curry sauce). We opted not to get any sides, which in retrospect was a mistake. It would've been nice to have some bread or potatoes to sop up the extra sauce, and we were both still slightly hungry after we devoured the seafood. We waited about fifteen minutes before the food arrived in individual plastic bags, not plates. Presentation isn't fancy but it was delicious, delicious, delicious!!!
The overall ambiance of the restaurant was unimpressive. I am not a big fan of the graffiti all over the walls, tables, and chairs. To me, it just looks dirty and.... a little ratchet. The tables are covered in paper to help with the messiness of the meal. Our drinks were served in paper cups and we had plastic utensils (but real crab cracking tools). I understand that it's a tradeoff - affordable seafood means you don't get cloth napkins, real cutlery, and classy decor. It's not a super nice restaurant but absolutely worth it for the food and experience.
A few notes: Don't wear anything nice - you will be messy despite the bib they give you and an endless supply of napkins. They gave my brother a big rock to smash his lobster, which we both thought was hilarious. It was very effective but it would've been nice to have a "pokey" tool to help get the lobster meat out of the shell. The exterior of the restaurant is plain and unassuming, which matches the rundown plaza it's located in. This is not a good place for a first date or a new relationship... you won't have any dazzling conversation because the two of you will be busy smashing lobster shells, ripping apart crab legs, and getting covered in sauce.
$56 for a pound of crab and the lobster, with one soda on the side. Not an everyday restaurant but a great place for a fun meal and tasty seafood.
