| - I've been to Angry Crab Shack with my husband for dinner twice in a short period of time. Their service in both times was flawless. We ordered what we have made our usual at similar restaurants, shrimps usually with a tri/3 combination sauce, corn, a fish basket that usually comes with fries and drinks. Every once in a while, we may order an appetizer which is usually fried calamari.
Ordering was easy. We were asked if it was our first time and on our first time, our waitress explained the menu to us. The food came out very quickly, we were impressed with the speed.
The food tasted very good. I would have loved to give this place 5 stars but honestly, having tried a similar restaurant in the valley about 4-5 times, I still think they remain my favorite. What is different? It's the sauce and flavor. The first time, our food had way too much butter for my liking. The shrimps did not absorb the flavor enough so they felt bland. The second time I asked for less butter. The shrimps came out dryer yes but then again, they were bland even though I chose medium for my heat level. I think it would be great if they would consider increasing the garlic especially in their tri-fecta sauce. It has the potential to be superb, it's just more on the bland side if you ask me. Also, I think the food can use some more salt. One thing about sea food in general, if you don't salt it well, it loses its flavor.
I still would say the place deserves my 4 stars and I would not at all discourage any one from going there but I have already established my favorite restaurant early on I guess.
