    We wouldn’t be going back. They have the table covers over the garbage cans . The sinks are filthy if you are a germaphobe - this is your worst nightmare.

    It was a really nice restaurant. The service was outstanding. The staff was amazing. It’s just the food was not the best, they just sucked and the portions. the food was not the greatest. The seafood tasted old, and we felt like we didn’t get what we paid for. Also, the sausage that they used tasted nasty and wasn’t even chopped up. I know for a fact it wasn’t the amount we paid for. It looked like two little turds that weren’t chopped up looked like they used them to charpen a knife. But I’m not trying to bash or hate on this place it’s just my experience, what I like to always say go experience it for yourself . Cause it could’ve just been a bad night for the place idk but the food was not good and the portion sizes were bad .

    Such a fun restaurant! The atmosphere is cute and casual, the food was delicious, the service was good, the noise was minimal, and the crowd wasn’t bad at all for a Saturday night in the city! I highly recommend The Angry Crab for a unique dining experience!

    We were rushed to place an order. We were told the kitchen will be closing in a few minutes, although we had reservations and were sitting for not even 10 minutes. The waiter place my order wrong and then tried to correct it by bringing out a level 3 spicy sauce that I originally asked for, but when I tasted the sauce my mouth was instantly burning. I feel as though the waiter brought back a spicier sauce other than level 3 that I normally get. The crab legs barely had meat in them, the food overall was not to my liking. So over $100, was paid for a terrible experience.

    Very deceptive pricing. Most fish were $20 - $25, with king crab at “mkt”. Having king crab many times we at least know the ballpark price. My granddaughter was charged $130 for hers. If it was going to be that crazy expensive you’d think the server would have mentioned it when a 9 year old ordered. Very unethical place, steer clear.
