Angry Crab Shack

Located in Henderson just off the Strip, Angry Crab Shack brings the bold flavors of Louisiana’s bayou to the Las Vegas valley. This vibrant seafood destination offers diners an authentic Cajun and Creole experience with a casual, roll-up-your-sleeves atmosphere that encourages messy, hands-on dining. The restaurant has earned a solid reputation among locals seeking quality seafood without the tourist prices of Strip establishments.

The menu centers around fresh shellfish prepared with traditional Cajun spices and house-made sauces. Signature offerings include whole crabs, crawfish, and shrimp served by the pound in signature spice blends ranging from mild garlic butter to fiery Cajun heat. The kitchen also serves up classic po’boys, gumbo, and jambalaya alongside non-seafood options like chicken wings and corn on the cob. Everything arrives family-style, perfect for sharing and creating a communal dining experience.

The interior embraces the authentic seafood shack aesthetic with brown paper-covered tables, plastic bibs, and wooden mallets for cracking shells. Nautical decorations and Louisiana-inspired artwork cover the walls, while upbeat music creates an energetic atmosphere. The casual setting encourages diners to dig in with their hands and enjoy the interactive nature of eating shellfish, making conversation flow as easily as the melted butter.

Angry Crab Shack appeals to groups looking for a fun, interactive meal where the food becomes part of the entertainment. The restaurant works well for casual celebrations, date nights for adventurous couples, or family dinners where children can enjoy the hands-on experience. With generous portions and reasonable prices for the Las Vegas market, it offers excellent value for diners seeking authentic flavors in a lively, unpretentious setting.
