The Story Behind
Angry Crab Shack
California native Ron Lou spent four years in the National Football League playing center for the Houston Oilers and then the Philadelphia Eagles. After retiring from professional football, he dedicated the next 35 years to creating five different restaurant concepts, including a breakfast eatery, a sports bar, and three distinct Chinese restaurants.
In pursuit of another success, Lou set out to create something unique – not just another wing, burger, or pizza place. In 2013, his vision came to life with the opening of Angry Crab Shack. Combining bold Asian flavors with his seafood expertise, Ron introduced seafood boil to Mesa, Arizona, through Angry Crab Shack – a family-friendly neighborhood restaurant known for its vibrant atmosphere and high-quality, affordable seafood.
Thanks to a partnership with the Angry Crab Shack UK Team, our signature Asian-Cajun flavours and seafood boils have arrived in one of the world’s top culinary cities. Seafood lovers in Central London can now enjoy Angry Crab Shack’s extensive menu, top-notch service, and memorable dining experience.

Our Reviews
“Monster shrimps, amazing flavors, great service, great location, it’s absolutely worth the gluttonous indulgence. You’ll have all the tools you need, and big screens playing a looped video tutorial on how to use them. Do yourself a favor and go here.”
“LOVE this place. First time trying seafood boil and it was absolutely fantastic. The seasoning is banging. Portions are very large. My friend and I ordered a bowl for two (Prawns, Mussels, Lobster, potatoes, corn) with some small extras (Crab legs and scallops) with the trifecta sauce..it was amazzzing and so tasty. Cannot wait to go back.”
“Wow the food here is incredible. Best seafood boil I’ve had in London. Our server SK and Jane were incredible too! So attentive and gave us the best recommendations to have the best food possible. Would definitely recommend coming here and getting messy with the food!”
“I loved it! This place stands out from any other restaurant I've ever been to. It’s not just about the DELICIOUS seafood (which is incredibly tasty), but also the unique way it's served and enjoyed. Eating with your hands in a restaurant is probably a dream come true—so liberating! The casual atmosphere makes everyone feel at ease and carefree. Our server, K.D., was amazing—helpful, friendly, and always smiling. His excellent service added to the overall fantastic experience. If you're looking for a fun, delicious, and different dining experience, Angry Crab Shack is the place to be!”

“So happy that we were able to try this restaurant out. Made a reservation online, went here on a weekday during lunch time. Service was great and fast. We loved everything that we ordered especially the oyster with cheese. Definitely will be coming back as we only tried the peeled shrimp, clam, lobster and oyster.”

“Amazing food and service. The seafood boil is probably the best I have ever had, with the lobster being my favourite by far. The sauce that comes in the bag can be customised, but you can't go wrong by choosing the tribeca.”
“Great place to get the full experience of a proper American crab shack! It will get messy, so not a place for those who'd never eat a shell-on prawn! Highly recommend their family share meals! Thumbs up will return!”
