Definitely a big fan of Angry Crab and may I just set the record straight and say it is way better than Hot N Juicy? That's the truth.
With a very similar concept and aesthetic to that of Boiling Crab and the similar Cajun/Creole seafood places, Angry Crab is definitely the better ones in the Valley. Thank goodness for this location as driving down to CenPho was getting pretty tiring.
Whenever my folks are in town or my friends are craving seafood, this is where I take them!
Dined in with my family and we ordered shrimp, fried gator, fries and hush puppies. Definitely, share the sides are they come in a good portion. I love the freshness of the seafood here, which they're pretty transparent about, whether they are fresh or frozen. The prices reflect that.
I always get the whole trifecta which is a balance of cajun spices, garlic, and butter- of course, medium spicy for that good kick of heat! Always find the shrimp perfectly cooked, big in size and not mushy. Be sure to ask for salt and pepper with limes to dip your seafood in, it really brings out the flavor of the seafood. My favorite side here are definitely the hush puppies, who doesn't love hush puppies? A small amount of heat, deep fried and served with ranch ... yes. The fried gator, you could pass on as they were a bit too tough and yes it does taste just like chicken, just tougher especially when fried.
Prices are decent, you get the most bang for your buck with the shrimp here but they do serve non-seafood choices here which is amazing. Their BBQ ain't that bad, to be quite honest. Service is always spot on! This is also my favorite location, you know, because it's so conveniently close to home :-)
