| - A+ Experience at the Angry Crab in Peoria!
Server: Matthew made the experience! Super cool server! Helpful, attentive, and really takes the time to get to know his guests! Made a first time guest feel at home and made ordering easy. Consistently was refilling our drinks and he remembered that my sister (she'd be there before) liked her drinks without ice. It's been years since I've ever considered requesting a specific server at a restaurant, but next time I'll wait to be served by Matt!
Seafood: Quality food! The meal was so good it was easy to overeat...and we did!!! We tried the King Crab, Snow Crab, Shrimp, and the Raw Oysters on the half shell! I was told that the Angry Crab was known for the trifecta sauce (we ordered without butter - trying to be a bit healthy) on both types of crab and it was awesome! Cajun sauce on the shrimp (again no butter) was great too! There are lots of options on the types/combinations of sauces available for guests. We went with the "mild" sauce which has just enough spice to be spicy, but didn't burn our throats. If you like "hot" spices I'm confident they can help you out. Ask Matt about your options and he can make recommendations about what to try.
Food Portions: Oysters were good and of average size. The one pound servings of crab and shrimp seemed very generous!
Other Food to Consider: I recommend the corn on the cob (I ordered two) as it is served with the entries in the sauce. Tried the beans which were ok (my sister loved them). The corn bread was average, not bad, just not as impressive as everything else. We'll have to come back to try other options (Blue Crab, Lobster, and lots of other side dishes) on the menu.
Atmosphere: Fun, very casual, TVs playing sports in the restaurant. The servers are pretty vocal/fun and add to the atmosphere when it's someone's birthday or when someone orders the "hot" sauces on the food. Don't be alarmed by the siren that goes off to "celebrate" birthdays, etc.
The Wait: On a Friday night we waited about 10-15 minutes which was fine and it was completely worth the short wait.
Price: Quality Seafood comes with a price. $28/lb the king crab. $23/lb for snow crab, and $13/lb for the shrimp. $8 for 6 oysters. $16 for 12 oysters. Prices change based upon the market.
The Mess: Eating crab and shrimp can be a bit messy especially with the Angry Crab sauces. Recommend wearing dark clothes to avoid clothing stains, wear the bib they provide (Matt will help you put it on) and go with the flow. You'll also go through a lot of napkins!
Summary: Superb Server, Tasty Food, and Fun Atmosphere! I recommend The Angry Crab if you'd like an amazing seafood experience! If you go to this restaurant I guarantee you'll leave feeling the complete opposite of "angry!"
We'll be back!
