It was soooo good 😍 we loved it so much! The food was delicious. Def recommend the snow crab that was by far the best we had! We had almost everything on the menu fish wise! Also chicken tenders super good! The only thing was that we waited for the service in the beginning for 25-30 minutes just to order drinks

Our server Ash was lovely! We had a seafood boil with clams, shrimps, lobster tail etc as well as some other side-dishes. She explained it all and how things worked. The food was GREAT! Recommend it to 100%.

The Angry Crab Shack in Leicester Square is a must-visit for seafood lovers! 🦀🦐 We ordered the Family Feast, which is listed as serving 3–4 people, but it easily fed our group of five—and we all have big appetites! We still couldn’t finish it and had to take some home. The portions are incredibly generous, making the prices very reasonable for what you get. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and quick to help throughout our visit. As a lovely surprise, they even brought out a cake for my friend since it was her birthday, which made the celebration extra special. If you’re craving fresh seafood, huge portions, and great service, this place is definitely worth a visit!
