   It was so good. The best crab and gator I have ever had. The sauces and seasonings were amazing.

   We will he back! Fun night out with the group we enjoyed learning about how to order. Everyone collectively said we know what we’ll be eating on our next trip back!

   They don’t like to really accommodate you. Most question were answered with we don’t or can’t do that. Been to many places like this and they all sell by half pound but not here, it’s a pound or nothing unless you buy BBQ. Just want it boiled in plain water? That’s a NO here. Asked for a knife to cut the brisket which was cold and they gave us a butter knife which didn’t work. Ordered the Kids Sliders and out came a large burger that was the lowest quality. Had high expectations for this place and left very very disappointed. Hopefully this was just a bad night but not holding my breath.

   I love angry crabs we eat there every week. The food is great, the people are friendly, and it's the best seafood in Tucson.

   The staff were great. Very attentive and personable. We got there early but they sat us early even if there was already a wait.

   We had a great time and all of the seafood was fantastic. Our server was great - I wish I had gotten her name. But all of the servers seemed like they were great and, even on a very busy Friday night, did not let any stress show. I did have one hiccup and that is that our reservation made online was not received by Angry Crab. When I approached the Manager at the 'host counter' he had no record and even showed me on his computer screen that there was no reservation for us! I was able to pull up my email confirmation. So. He was stressed, I could tell, by our large group without a reservation, but handled it with a smile and we hung at the bar and were called within about ten minutes for our table. All in all it was a very fun night with great food and drinks and we will definitely go again. I would like to say that the 'picnic' style dining could be well served by something, even a large tin plate, to catch all the juices. I was a little put off by always making sure that I didn't have a lap full of sauce running off the table and it was a little awkward sticking my arm elbow deep into a gooey bag. I'd bet there is a better way....We used to get seafood 'picnic style' in Connecticut and it wasn't anywhere near as messy and that was served in a paper boat. I'd suggest snipping the top of the bag open so it's not so deep and putting the entire thing into a short tin bucket.

   A bit overpriced, shrimp was tough, and snow crab legs were old, and freezer burnt. Service was good!

   They have a little trouble bringing everyone's order out close together in a large group. However, the food was great, the service was attentive, and the prices for seafood were reasonable. Will go again for sure!

    We wanted to eat early to beat the evening rush so we made reservations for 5:30. We showed up 5 minutes early for our reservation, the restaurant was half empty and it took them 10 minutes to seat us because the hostess’ were discussing how to assign tables for walk ins and to accommodate people with reservations. We ordered drinks and our meal with no problem. Two of our group ordered fried food from the menu and the rest ordered from the steamed food on the menu. People that ordered fried food got their meals about 20 minutes after ordering, it was an additional 20 minutes before the steamed food came out. I asked the server why and she said it is common for the fried food to arrive earlier and the we should know that the food can come out “staggered”. I could understand a few minutes but 20 minutes is a ridiculous amount of time. We also noticed other tables around us being served their food before us. I would be wary about going back to this establishment. Didn’t care for the attitude of the service both the hostess and table staff. A small portion of our order was wrong. And they seemed to not care that we had been there for an hour by the time the majority of our food had arrived.
