As a seasoned Boiling Crab veteran, I had high hopes for LA Crab Shack. After an underwhelming experience at Hot n Juicy (we got takeout and the spiciest level sauce was watery and bland), I was ready to be disappointed.
LA CRAB DELIVERED! The house sauce was THICK, super spicy, a little sweet, with tons of chunky garlic. It was everything I wanted and more. I was blown away because - dare I say it?! - I LIKED IT MORE THAN BOILING CRAB! Seriously, it was amazingly good. It was perfect.
The service was on point. There are sinks to wash your hands outside of the bathroom, which is super awesome, because eating shrimp can get messy AF. Best of all, there was NO wait for a table on a Sunday night.
It's like all the good parts of an LA crab shack without the crappy overcrowdedness of actual LA.
Woot!
I'll be back, FOR SURE.
