The Angry Crab

A solid 4.5 experience! It’s crab in a bag, if you’re expecting a fine dining experience then you’re in the wrong place. Highly recommend the Garlic Cajun option. Service was so friendly! $90 total for two pounds of seafood, an app, and two sides. Very much appreciate the hand wash station in the back - it’s a messy (but fun!) dining experience.

Enjoyable experience. Everyone was polite and welcoming. Food was great with reasonable prices. We tried a seafood platter with snow crab legs, mussels, corn, and shrimp, sides of garlic bread and fries as well as an order of buffalo wings. All were delightful.

Everything was great even asked my service to change the TV and he had no problem doing it. Thank goodness for that good restaurant great seafood, wonderful presentation

Once a frequenter of The Angry Crab's original location up north, I recently revisited the chain after a hiatus, only to find that the once-popular spot has seen a significant decline in quality. The Wicker Park location, now the sole survivor, left me with a taste of disappointment rather than the fond memories of delicious seafood. Walking in during what turned out to be Happy Hour, I was initially pleased with the friendly service from both the host and server. However, the enthusiasm quickly waned as I sampled the food. The restaurant, sparsely populated with only three occupied tables, stood in stark contrast to the days when Angry Crab drew long lines, stretching nearly two blocks. Our order comprised a variety of appetizers, including fried shrooms, grilled vegetables, fried oysters (which were described as "disgusting"), Garlic Stir Fried Noodles (resembling something dry and dehydrated), Fried Calamari, and a Lobster Roll. While the lobster roll managed to salvage some dignity, the rest of the dishes failed to impress. The disappointment was palpable from the first bite, leading me to question the stark contrast between the past and present Angry Crab. The once-revered establishment seemed to have lost its way, with the food lacking the appeal and flavor that had once drawn crowds. The saving grace was the Cajun Garlic Sauce, which proved to be a delightful addition to the otherwise lackluster meal. Its excellence reminded me of the Angry Crab I used to love. Despite my previous enthusiasm for the place, I find myself compelled to stay away, a sentiment fueled by the subpar dining experience. While the Cajun Garlic Sauce might tempt me for a standalone purchase, the overall decline in quality makes it a hard pass for dining in. It's disheartening to witness the fall of a once-beloved establishment, and I can only hope that The Angry Crab takes steps to reclaim its former glory. Until then, my dining dollars will be spent elsewhere, away from the disappointment that now lingers at The Angry Crab in Wicker Park.

We got here right when it opened. We didn’t have to wait long, our server was kind and hospitable. My daughter and I both had a 1/2 pound of the combo #1 with mild garlic Cajun flavor. Don’t expect to be neat/clean after, it’s a messy eat, but it was worth it. They provide you with utensils to crack the crab, a bib, and gloves.

The food was amazing! Would definitely come back to eat again! I had the premier feast with calamari and garlic noodles and it was plenty for a party of two!! My waiter was very attentive and the manager also introduced himself to us and was very nice. Food was 10/10, exactly as I’ve heard!! The only thing I would recommend to the restaurant is to maybe lower the music, I felt like I had to talk extra loud. But overall, great staff and great food!

The crab boil was okay. It was one of my favorites. My husband said the catfish sandwich was good. The drinks are premixed. Out of a bottle. The staff was very nice and friendly. It was kinda cold in the restaurant. Probably won't be returning.

Best seafood in Chicago by far, and here is my ratings, Food: We ordered their seafood boil with friend calamari and french fries and i give them easy 10/10. It was delicious and their spices & sauce are unique. Prices: Abover average but really worth it and lets be honest, this is Chicago. Parking: Limited parking, unfortunately. I had to park behind theit building and use parking meters, which are pain in the butt. - cleanliness: Place is clean and well maintained. - customer Service: Was excellent and my server was very friendly and polite. Will definitely visit again and I highly recommend trying their food.

I ordered my Seafood Boil to go and it was soooo tasty! The food was so flavorful, it's a place i would recommend!

Amazing service the moment we stepped foot in this place! Our waitress (I forgot her name- young black girl), was soo good and was so attentive. Made great recommendations and just overall took great care of me and my husband. Food here was soooo good! The next time we're in the Wicker Park area, we will be back for another round of delicious food!!!

Angry Crab is awesome!! I came in with my partner about 7 mins before happy hour ended and was able to put my order in on time. The Happy Hour menu is very clear on their website and it's Mon-Fri 5pm-6:30pm as of this review. The Garlic Crab Fried Rice is delicious, you can really taste the crab flavor. We had to stop ourselves from eating it all before the shrimp came out, since it also goes really well with the Garlic Cajun sauce. The Lemon Pepper wings were fantastic, they could give Wingstop a run for their money. The fried calamari was seasoned well, had a great crisp, and came with two sauces. We got a couple beers off the happy hour menu too. For the main course we got a pound of shrimp, with garlic Cajun sauce, medium spicy with add on of 2 corn cobs. I love getting the whole shrimp since the head has a lot of flavor. The shrimp themselves were a medium size and very juicy. The sauce was great. Me and my partner were stuffed by the end of the meal. For all the food we got, this was definitely a great value price-wise as well. Service was fantastic, we were seated right away on a weekday evening. Our server checked in frequently to make sure we had everything we wanted and filled up water too. There's a convenient hand washing station in the back of the restaurant. Street parking is available on many of the adjacent streets, and you can pay via the Park Chicago app. I definitely recommend angry crab for their seafood boil experience (shrimp in a bag with Cajun butter sauce)!

I picked up 3 "build your bag" with shrimp, corn and potatoes from here. The food was ready when promised and more importantly they had phenomenal customer service. Very friendly and full of smiles. The food itself was really good. But not very filling. Definitely on the pricier side. I ordered level 3 hot with a corn and a potato for $1 each per side. We started making our own Cajun shrimp bags at home and will most likely continue to do so. There's something you're better off doing at home and this is one of them. I can still see myself returning, just not anytime soon.

Tried angry crab for the first time. Gotta say I'm a little disappointed... PROS: - good service - liked that they had grilled options, shrimp were alright - cornbread was tasty - prices were reasonable CONS: - crab was over cooked and hard to get out of shell - couldn't swap sides in the conbos - garlic rice tasted like raw chunks of garlic... found it unappetizing Overall, not bad for the price but wouldn't rush back.

Angry crab for Jake's birthday dinner tonight! Delicious as always so happy they are open for dine in again we love the ambiance of this place and the service is always great!!!

Good seafood in a bag! I always tend to crave seafood in the bag at 10pm so I got this delivered as always. Love how they prepare the take out. Clean. Multiple utensils. Would recommend to someone wanting decent seafood boil. I do wish there were more options in Chicago for seafood in a bag!

The Customer Service Was A 5/5!!!! From The Manager/Hostess Faith, My Waiter Oscar And Other Waiter Ashley! They Work As A Team And Theres Wasnt A Time That I Wasnt Be Asked If I Was Okay From All Three. But My Waiter Oscar Was Great All Around! The Food Was Good, Actually Some Of The Best/Fresh King Crab I've Had. Margarita Was Good Also. The Only Cons Were The Calamari Was Decent And I Didnt Like The Cajun Aioli It Came With And I Feel Like The Cajun Sauce In The Boil Was Very Oily. Like The Seasoning Was There But It Was Mostly Oil And They Were Cheap With The Amount Of Sauce. The Tap Water Tasted Weird To Me, Idk It Was A Weird After Taste. Other Than That I Would Recommend If You Are Visiting Or From Chicago!!

Decided to try this place after seeing a couple of posts online! Got a great parking spot on a side street (parking is very limited) --so lucky. I made a reservation online and we came before the rush on a Friday night. Service was EXCELLENT (thanks, Oscar)! We got the Feast for 2 (garlic Cajun, level 1 mild). We added garlic noodles and subbed out steak rice for crab garlic rice. Added calamari and catfish! It was more than enough for 2 and couldn't finish. Had to take some noodles, catfish and calamari to go. They have a washing station/sink available if you don't use gloves! Can request gloves and a bib! Everything was delicious!

I've been wanting to go to a crab boil restaurant for years. I'm a big seafood lover and also it seems like such a fun idea, just dumping all these delicious items on the table and making a big mess. I was looking up restaurants that offer it in Chicago and saw that The Angry Crab offers a $125 all-you-can-eat crab special, so I was in! The restaurant itself is sort of underwhelming; I did expect it to be a bit fancier. It's very bright and presents more like a fast casual spot, but no big deal. We went late, on a weeknight, so it was pretty deserted. The service was fast and friendly. We started off with grilled oysters, which were delicious. And the crab; oh the crab. These were the largest crab legs I've ever seen in my entire life. They served quite a large portion, which surprised me; usually with something like this, they would dole it out in small portions slowly, to sort of discourage you from eating too much. The first bowl they brought out for each of us must have had 2 full pounds of crab in it. It did come with the classics; red potatoes and corn on the cob, where were nicely cooked. The crab was doused in a slightly spicy garlic butter sauce. Yes, please! They gave us so much crab in the first batch that we ended up just sharing one more bowl before giving up; all you can eat turned out to be too much for us that day. Everything was top notch, including the cocktails. The guys who worked there were extremely nice. I'll definitely be back. Thanks Angry Crab for a great experience!

if you're looking for flavorful & mouthwatering seafood boil in chicago, VISIT THE ANGRY CRAB!!! this is definitely now my go-to seafood boil spot in chicago (i've also got it delivered and it was great). they also have happy hour from monday-friday, 5-6pm, with great deals on alcohol and food (not boils). the seafood is sooo juicy and the ~maniac~ sauce is garlicky and savory and just delicious. if you're looking to splurge a little, go for the premiere feast - but if you want to create your own bag, i highly recommend the king crab legs, lobster tails, shrimp & mussels for seafood. as for non-boil menu items, literally everything i tried was fresh, crispy and tasty, so i recommend them all. what we got: - premiere feast (comes with king crab legs, headless shrimp, mussels, lobster tails, corn, potatoes, sausage, eggs + 1 crab garlic rice and lemon fries) - lobster roll - fried calamari - grilled shrimp - cornbread ice cream - anchor steam beer disclosure: i was invited by the restaurant once, but all opinions are my own + i've gone additional times other than the invite :) watch the reel here! https://www.instagram.com/p/CtR3bnHAPFs/

The vibe: good in photos bad reality My friend and I love a good seafood boil- I'm from Maryland and he's from NOLA (and has been making his own crawfish boil for years). And I should say bc of that we know good seafood but we also come in chicago with a certain lower expectation knowing it's most likely going to be frozen not fresh. the price is bad, not just for seafood bc that's assumed but they charge you for every individual extra you have, vs other places that give you at least corn and potatoes included. They also charge you for extra sauce or samples if you want to try a variety of heat. For the casual vibe compared to low country I kind of hated that they also don't have a beer under 7$. That could have been wicker park part. The food itself: the seafood was completely flavorless and the sauce based in SO much oil basically slid off the seafood so regardless of what you get or you leave in it's pretty flavorless. (I could see the pasta absorbing it well TBF but this isn't about pasta). They said the medium spice level was flavorful but let you enjoy the seafood but the reality was there was 0 flavor in anyway. But then we tried level 4 and that was such a level you couldn't taste anything at all. So unsure what the scale is for them. Will say they give you 80 pounds of garlic and good garlic bread so I enjoyed that. The seafood was expectedly just OK but I had a crawfish I had to spit out one because it was Grey in color and tasted RANK- normally I swallow but in this case I didn't want to risk my stomach. Service wise: it was okay the waiter was sweet and really helpful but I was disappointed to see at the end the Yelp snack I had talked to them about wasn't taken off the bill.

Everything you would want eating crab in a bag to be. Place was a little noisy though.

Free snack with yelp checkin! Came here on a date with my husband. I was surprised to see it pretty available on a Thursday for dinner. We didn't need a reservation but we did call ahead. I think the quality of ingredients may have gone down since COVID but the flavors were still good and the staff was very attentive. The menu is quite different now. We got a snack, 2.5 LB of meat, and 6 sides and took some food home. Mussels - these were quite large. I liked it with the maniac flavors and hot sauce. Not too fishy and had a nice chew. The hot was quite spicy so we had to drink lots of water Shrimp - we got these with the maniac flavors and medium sauce. The shrimps were a little over cooked and I think it may have been better just with the garlic butter. We added corn and potato to this one. The corn was sweet and the potato was nice dipped in the sauce Garlic bread - similar to Texas toast. I think they used to have more of a French crusty bread Fried catfish - this was tasty and crispy. A good break from the spicy with the tartar sauce. But there were parts of the fish that were too fishy for me

I just paid over $40 for a bag of salt this is unacceptable it was good last week so I camd back and ended up with this

Eh, nothing special here and a tad over priced for the quality. We each ordered lb of snow crab, 1/2 headless shrimp with potatoes, corn, eggs and rice (rice never came). The "hot" spice level has a kick but not as hot as I would've liked. $48 for lb of snow crab alone, but we still tried it out. The service was alright, our waitress was nice however not too helpful in regards to ordering and at the end she did not advise it was a automatic gratuity of 18% for a table of two! Shady, wasn't until I asked for itemized receipt that I seen the gratuity, making our bill $178.00 for two crab boils... didn't even get a drink. There are definitely better less expensive crab boil spot out there, I'd suggest skipping this one.

The best Cajun seafood in the city!! The food is always excellent and tasty!! The service is great!! I would give them 11 out of 10!!!

I ate here a while ago, but never wrote a review, but every time I drive down Milwaukee ave., past the Angry Crab, it haunts me, so I have decided to now write a review. I like seafood and Angry Crab looked interesting, so I decided to go there with a friend and we both ordered lobster tail. What we didn't realize is, that there are no plates. The meals come in large plastic bags filled with grease, perhaps butter, but not sure. It's literally about a gallon of grease in each bag. There are no utensils, so you eat it with your hands and then there are paper towels that you can use for the grease. IT WAS DISGUSTING!!!! But the worst thing is really that there is all of that plastic waste, after the meal, covered in grease, that just gets thrown away and goes into a land fill. Angry Crab is the opposite of a sustainable, environmentally friendly restaurant. Plastic doesn't degrade for thousands of years and it is a terrible polluting substance on earth. Plastics which end in the landfill break up over a period of time and it also releases toxic materials when it breaks down. The broken microplastics gets into the waterways and is later consumed by humans. Same with the marine system as well, the microplastics consumed by ocean wildlife are then consumed by humans. Micro-plastics being found in drinking water. Also, with heat and grease, the toxins in plastic get into your food. A lot of plastic already contains toxins, such as phthalates, BPA and flame retardants. And as plastic breaks down, it can absorb many dangerous toxins more easily, such as damaging pesticides like DDT, PCB and PAH. Toxic chemicals: which releases during manufacturing is another significant source of the negative environmental impact of plastics. A whole host of carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and hormone-disruptive chemicals are standard ingredients and waste products of plastic production, and they inevitably find their way into our ecology through water, land, and air pollution. Many of these are persistent organic pollutants (POPs)--some of the most damaging toxins on the planet, owing to a combination of their persistence in the environment and their high levels of toxicity. Some reviews on here complained about the bad service, but the service was not so bad when I went there. The food was okay, not bad, but my friends and I were shocked and totally grossed out about the amount of grease and the plastic bags. I guess people feel that that part of it is a novelty, like you can be a kid again, eating with your hands and making a mess, but my friend and I will never go back there. As I said. It was totally disgusting! But mostly, so bad for the environment. Angry Crab should just switch to washable plates. It's better for the environment. Forget the novelty. A good restaurant has people coming back for good food, not greasy plastic bags. Adendum: I don't know if they are still using those gross plastic bags. Maybe they have gotten savey an realized how bad that is. Hopefully they have switched away from plastic bags.

Highly recommend! We got the Feast for Two with garlic noodles and crab garlic rice. We also ordered the fried catfish and fried calamari. All were tasty and flavorful! The shrimps and mussels were huge and juicy. Service was prompt and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Definitely going back!

I had a fantastic experience at the angry crab thanks to the exceptional service provided by our server, Cuong. I highly recommend him if you guys try it out. He was incredibly nice, attentive, and demonstrated a genuine willingness to make our dining experience enjoyable. The service was prompt, and I appreciated the helpful recommendations. The overall vibes were excellent and created a welcoming atmosphere definitely look forward to coming back!!

The service here is good and the food here is bomb! Me and my daughter always eat here.

Great food and quick service! Love me some seafood boil! Especially shrimp and always like the spicy sauce. Come for happy hour! It's great as a fun date night or with a group of friends. Get the wings and the lobster roll too!! Also they have local beers that are dynamite with all the seafood!

The new management here and new head chef are fantastic! Decor changed and it is no longer BYOB however the food this time was phenomenal. We used the Yelp check in deal and got the fried catfish which was delicious. They even threw in some corn bread since our order was delayed. All in all this was the best meal we've ever had there! Check it out new and definitely improved!

Have been to Low Country many times and just moved to wicker park. Came across Angry Crab and it's damn delicious. Scallops had a ton of flavor and everything else in the bag was great. Service was also great. Would come here again!

Definitely not what it used to be and I used to come here often. I am industry and hate yelp but This place sucks so bad now!!!! I will never return. Food quality has diminished significantly. The sauces are so oily And it's so ridiculously over priced now! Service was not good, but they felt it acceptable to add a 18% gertuity on a table of 3 and one of the 3 was a child and the margaritas were disgusting, not disappointing but disgusting! Never ever, ever again!

Service was excellent, food quality was very good. If in Wicker Park definitely a must try spot.

After much of the hype, I came here with a party of 4 to celebrate a birthday dinner. Quick highlight - They have reservations app connected to Resy and it doesn't work all the time. We thought we had a 7:30 reservation and they could not locate it. Either way they did accommodate us. Walking into Angry Crab you are greet with an overwhelming smell of garlic and seafood. Being that it is a seafood place it shouldn't be an issue however this was super pungent smell. I ordered the lobster tail bag and it was not fresh the oysters were not that fresh either. My issue is they drench the food in sauce which feel like their masking the actual main event of the food. The price point is a tad bit high however I could have justify it if the food was phenomenal. However, your paying for a very over priced drenched seafood that is not that fresh. The service was great and our waiter was as very attentive. Here is some tips, The parking is a struggle highly recommend Uber especially in the winter. They can only split the check on the max two card and will not do more. They do provide utensils however, you will need request them. Also, there is a COVID surcharge as well at the end of the bill. Overall I would not recommend this place.

Valentines Day 2022 will be the most memorable V Day by far for our double date. My fiancé and I invited her sister and her boyfriend out to join us for dinner with delicious and mouthwatering crab legs, shrimps and Cajun soupy sauce. Let's just say we did not get that at all. To begin, I understand that tonight was a busy and yet usual night for the restaurant. There is always a huge crowd there and sometimes a little wait. We (fiancé and I) have been here a few times and have bragged about it to friend and family. They have also gone and loves it and they have done the same in spreading the love. Our waiter was very short with us and seemed overwhelmed with us being ready to order right as we sat down because we were regulars. He did take our drink orders right away but when we told him that we weee ready for him to take our food order, he said that we needed to wait because another table was ready before us. Us being non confrontational because sir was Valentine's Day and last thing we wanted was an issue with anyone, we waited till he returned which was 9 minutes later. He took care of 2 other tables before us. When we placed our order I ordered 2 sides of fries and we "all" (us weirdos) like dipping them in Mayo rather than ketchup. I asked for 2 sides of Mayo and willing to pay for it he quickly said with an attitude "we don't have Mayo". For the record, every time I come I eat it with Mayo. Once our food came out we noticed that the bag was off. The corn was a full cob instead of smaller, easier to handle portions. The crab legs were very, very skinny and meatless. To add a little seasoning to the boil, the 2 bags of seafood we ordered only had 3 potatoes TOTAL! That's the best part in my opinion after the crab legs. When the food arrived we all got ready and geared up. The bibs double knotted around our necks and the gloves on... expect for me and my sister in laws boyfriend. We asked the waiter for larger gloves because they didn't fit us at all and he gave us some black ones that the kitchen guys use which is ok. He then told us that if we needed more gloves that we were going to be charged for them. That's insane! Who charges for gloves? Once we started digging in we all were overwhelmed from the excitement that it took a few minutes for us to realize that the crab tasted a little off. We all talked and came to the conclusion that it was in our heads. The night went on and we all kept the spirits up. Once we all got home, in LA GRANGE, IL we started to feel sour and queasy. About an hour later we were all on speaker phone together complaining about the same pains and symptoms while running to the bathroom. Let's just say we have felt more this year's romantic holiday than previous ones. Safe to say food poisoning and roses weren't the type of night any of us were hoping for. Nobody was lucky to say the least . Angry Crab if you read this I just want to say that you let us down and most of all my fiancé. Thanks for your past service and experience but we will no longer be returning or recommending you guys. We weren't the only ones. There have been several incidences with others as well within the past 6 months if you look into the reviews.

Popular seafood boil plus restaurant on Milwaukee Ave Food: In general, all the seafood tastes fresh. Available flavors for seafood boil include lemon pepper, garlic, Cajun, combination mix Clams Mussels Scallops Crawfish Lobster Snow crab / King crab / Jonah crab Fried calamari - 5/5 - outstanding texture and accompanying sweet vs spicy sauces Fried oyster basket - 5/5 - excellent, a favorite of the fried seafood dishes Fried soft shell crab - 4/5 - good but not outstanding Connecticut-style, warm vs Maine-style, cold Lobster roll - 5/5 - generous, authentic whole pieces of lobster junks; kind of salty but is much better after a squeeze of the lemon California-style charbroiled oysters - 3/5 - OK to try but didn't honestly enjoy this; flavors didn't combine well Crawfish hotdog - 1/5 - where were the crawfish??? Garlic noodles with shrimp - 3/5 - quite stingy, like really only 5 shrimps??? (I mean it costs $3 additional to add shrimp) Fries (various style regular/Cajun/lemon pepper/garlic) - 5/5 - love the beer battered style Spicy fries *** WARNING MUCH SPICIER THAN I IMAGINED Snow crab fried rice - 3/5 - too much soy sauce Ambience: Standard seafood boil restaurant design. Love the easily accessible hand washing station outside the bathrooms Service: Very friendly and patient

This use to be my go-to place. However, it was a big disappointment. The sauces have changed, and the shrimps were a joke as they were from a bag vs from a seafood market. I asked if the recipe had changed and sadly the answer was yes. I will not be going there anymore and will try to find a new place. Hate to write the review, but if you are a regular, beware. Oh! The sever was very nice though.

The service was Excellent! The Staff was very attentive and friendly. My family enjoyed the tasty food and we had a great time. Thank you!

The food here is delicious! The customer service was great, and the restaurant had a pleasant ambiance. I love how accessible the sinks to clean your hands (and possibly your face) are, and I will continue to come to The Angry Crab whenever I'm craving seafood.

Verrryyyy expensive. Coming from down south we have really good reasonable priced seafood. He big too much I fell like I paid soooo much for soooo little. I got the HOTTEST "ghost pepper flavor" mannn I was expecting my mouth to be on fire and nose running.... not all all. Lol the server tried persuading me to not get it because it was "soooo hot" . Lolo it was spiced but def not no ghost pepper. But if it was they def should've added a couple more lol. I mean for it to be Chicago that probably the best y'all have so I mean if yuh finning for some crab legs hit this place up

Great service, the staff is very friendly and kind. The food is so flavorful enjoy coming here. Ambiance is soothing.

Ate here last Saturday and as soon as you walk in you smell the different flavors of food. Hostess sat us and Cuong was my server! It was my friend's first time dining at The Angry Crab and Cuong was super informative and even gave menu suggestions. Waters were never empty (huge thing for me). Food was bomb! Lots of flavor, spice and I left in a food coma. Great service, great food, I tell all my friends to go here when craving seafood boil.

It was my first time my family and I were trying seafood boil and let me say this place did not disappoint! The food was delicious, the service was amazing...Cuong was who served us and I would definitely recommend him as a server. He gave us great recommendations and was super attentive. Can't wait to come back.

Awesome service, excellent food- couldnt ask for more! Get your crab fix here! I recommend the oysters, shrimp and scallops 100%

Amazing food, got the feast for 2 comes with more that enough food. CRAB!!! was to die for. Service was amazing Christians recommendation's are on point!! love the grilled oysters best item by far. will be coming back!!!!

I went into this meal expecting to be giving this place a 5 star rave right now, as I have the numberless other times I've been here in the past, but I guess a lot has changed since I've visited! Let me start by saying that the cornbread was delicious. The raving stops there. Our bag were dropped off. One bag was hot, the other two were just warm. All three of us ordered a 4oz lobster tail in our bags but only one of us got the tail. I made a point to not touch my bag, wondering if they would redo the whole thing. After waiting a while and not seeing our server, one of us went up to the manager and informed him of the mistake. The server we couldn't find was sitting behind the host stand on his phone. After about another 15 minutes, the two additional lobster tails were brought to the table, steamed without any spices or sauce. Mine (pictured) was mostly black and green. This... put me off my meal. when I showed it to our server, he said "that sometimes happens to lobster when it's cooked".... I cook lobster frequently and trust me when I say, no it doesn't. While we were waiting, a group seated a few tables down from us started playing some Teletubbies music to calm down their screaming child. At first we all ignored it but at least 30 minutes of this went by. The restaurant seemed to turn their own music up TWICE, and somehow the Teletubbies came out on top. At the point that we heard all the tables around us complaining too, we mentioned it to the staff (another server, because ours was nowhere to be found, again). She said she would take care of it, then walked directly to the back, saying nothing to the Teletubbies crew. And so, the xylophones played on. Not the atmosphere we're used to from this joint, I lemme tell you! After I finished my meal, I went to use the restroom and waited over 10 minutes until one of the male cooks walked out of the women's room. Which wouldn't bug me except for the fact that while I waited, another male customer came and went from the men's room, which was clearly unoccupied the whole time. We didn't see our server again until he came by to finally drop the check, which was wrong. Although they comped the nasty, late lobster tail, we were charged a double corkage fee and the Tuesday $1 oysters we ordered were rang in at full price. We were pretty annoyed at this point so we asked for the manager to correct the bill. He apologized and corrected the price of the oysters, but knocking that extra 6 bucks off the $200 tab was the only thing done to accommodate the most disappointing experience I've ever had here. Maybe it's our mistake for coming on a Tuesday, but I doubt I'll be coming back here again at all, so, oh well.

Service was amazing the moment we walked in. I'm visiting from California and the garlic sauce was amazing the best we ever had. The sausage was good too! My awesome end up ordering more. Highly recommend it!

It simply does not get better than The Angry Crab. Cracking open crab legs at this fine establishment is one of my favorite sensory experiences. I lost track of how many times my roommate and I have eaten here. Prepare yourself for a beautifully messy meal. My friend and I always order the Two Crabby which comes with a pound of snow crab legs, a pound of shrimp, fries, corn, and potatoes. It's perfect. Everything comes in a giant plastic bag and is drenched with delicious sauce. Also the cornbread is buttery and delightful and you should order that too even though you will be stuffed with seafood. Take your friends, take your family, or take a risk and bring a first date here and then let me know how it goes. #ICraveTheCrab

Great service and great food. Can't go wrong with some classic shrimp in their maniac sauce.

If your looking for a quick spot to grab actual good/quality food, you could never go wrong with some seafood boil. Love grabbing me a bag to take home whenever I'm on the run, travels exceptionally well! This location is under new management who's putting in lots of positive changes, everything tastes amazing!

Definitely changed the way they used to make the food. The sauce was absolutely terrible, lacked in flavor! Last year they had it perfect now its like so different. The food was OK but the individual pricing for extras is slightly weird but thats their business. I also did not enjoy the sauce , I usually get Hot but who puts hot sauce in a seafood boil and why is it more oily and less saucy ???? So many disappointments even the potatoes and sausage being so TOUGH ! I was pretty dissatisfied in the end.

The best seafood boil in Chicago. The calamari is a must have, most calamari is too rubbery but angry crab has found the perfect balance with a great Cajun spice sprinkled on top for the perfect flavor. Scallops were meaty and be warned they know spice. I got the level 3 and am surprised they have a level higher. It's not just spicy it is full of flavor. They also have a robust canned cocktail program that adds to the experience. Everything is well priced and the portions a big for a nice family dinner.

If I could give no stars I would! My friend and I went to this restaurant on a Saturday evening And we got there at 8:00 PM. We waited about 10 to 15 minutes to be seated. We ended up waiting an hour and a half for our food. We were told by the waiter that they gave our food for someone else in that they were remaking it. He told us it would be ready within 5 minutes and that five minutes turned to about 15. We asked the manager what was going on and he said he would figure it out. He came back and told us our food would be right out. At that moment my friend and I just ended up leaving. We didn't see the point in waiting another falsely promised amount of time for our food. I let the manager know we were leaving and I would pay for my lemonade and he was going to let me and then decided to say "it's on the house I understand". There was no compassion and nothing offered for the inconvenience! I've been to the location on Lincoln and it was a much better experience in 2017. I WILL DO AN IMAGINARY SEAFOOD BOIL IN MY HEAD BEFORE I EVER COME BACK HERE! It was that bad!!!!

PSA: Seafood is not usually my thing but oh my gosh, The Angry Crab has changed me. Last time I had an oyster, I wanted to gag but the oysters here were so GOOD and FLAVORFUL. The ultimate EAT was kinda pricey but it definitely feeds 2 people and you will leave satisfied. The decor and interior is really casual and I like the street art vibes. Glad they have sinks outside the bathroom because eating here gets messy. Only thing I would comment on is that level 2 of spice is barely spicy, if you like spicy, you need at least level 3. also if you don't like garlic, don't come here because garlic is practically in everything (props to people who take girls here for a date haha).

The food was good, The service was not so great, When we arrived there was only 2 people in the restaurant, The waitress took our orders and we waited and waited, After a long hour and several more people arrived they ate then left we were still waiting. The waitress return to our table to tell us our ticket order had been lost. Our orders were retaken and when we were served it was not exactly what we ordered. But it was tasty and worth the wait. Please be aware that your tip is added to your bill but they do not remind you although when I question it they said it's posted on the menu and also on the website. I did not see it but to be honest I only looked for the address.on the website, On the menu I overlooked it if it was printed on there. We were over charged for several food items. But over all the food was good.

Five stars! Wow, the quality of seafood here is amazing. Came here craving seafood and was blown away by the portions and flavors. Significantly better than others I've had in this city. The premier feast for two is a great way to try a large selection of the menu especially if you can't decide what to have! Seasoning is perfect as well as temperature of all the food. Can't wait to come back with a larger group and order more items off the menu!

Ordered it for delivery the other day. I was in the mood for seafood, and this place was in range, I actually had never heard of it before. I got the soft shell crab with a side of rice, which while tasty, was quite small, definitely just a starter/app and not a full meal. The alligator dog on the other hand, was quite big and good, and it came with a mountain of fries. The fries were thick and crispy and good, unlike some of the small/thin ones you usually see. Not having had many alligator dogs before it's hard to compare, but it was good, kinda similar to italian sausage. Seemed a little pricey, but then again seafood usually costs more in general. Not opposed to trying it again, or eating in the place whenever things open up again for indoor dining.
