Angry Crab Shack Mesa is the kind of place where the tablecloth is made of wax paper and they strap a bib on you as you enter. The walls feature flat screen TVs and about million signatures – everyone leaves one. Don’t expect any cutlery, because that is what you have fingers for!
You cannot get more Cajun than what they will offer you at Angry Crab Shack – you’ll find all kinds of sea goodies, including crawfish, shrimp, crawfish, lobsters, blue (in season) and Dungeness crabs. All seafood is cooked in a mix of rich spices that enhance the fresh, tender meat. Whatever you choose, they will offer you a sauce to go with it, at which point you are on your own: you can get anything from no heat to “scorching scorpion.”
If you are not familiar with Cajun food, definitively try some frog legs and alligator nuggets, just so you can say you tried them. They also serve some nice local craft beers in addition to their regular beers on tap and sodas.
