You won’t find another Leicester Square restaurant like this and at Angry Crab Shack, the menu draws inspiration from the seafood boils of the American South, infused with an Asian-Cajun twist that takes the flavours to the next level. Picture delicious, fresh seafood like Brown Crab, Snow Crab, King Crab, lobster, shrimp, Tiger Prawns, scallops and lobster tail, all cooked to perfection and coated in mouthwatering, glossy sauces. But the flavours don’t stop at seafood—you’ll also find favourites like Po’Boys, cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, and more, making it the perfect stop for a hearty lunch or indulgent dinner.
Whether it’s your first visit to Angry Crab Shack or your twentieth, no two meals at Angry Crab Shack are the same. Start with a ready-made seafood boil bag with handpicked combinations of crab legs, shrimp, corn, lobster, scallops and mussels, or build your own bag, selecting your favourite seafood and spice level. Once you’ve decided on the contents of your boil, it’s time to choose the flavour. After all, the sauces are where the magic happens. Choose from the minimum spice level ‘no likey spicey’, to a medium Habenero, super spicy Ghost Pepper or if you’re feeling especially brave, try your luck with a Carolina Reaper… but don’t say we didn’t warn ya’. Pair your seafood boil with a selection of sides and make sure you soak up every last drop of sauce with fluffy steamed rice, crisp Cajun fries, Lemon Pepper fries and soppin’ bread.
No Angry Crab Shack experience is complete without a drink in hand, and once seated, bibbed and ready to get crackin’, it’s time to browse the cocktail menu. Enjoy bold, fruity flavours like the Love Shack: a perfect combination of pineapple, raspberry and spirits. Or how about a Berry Burst Mojito, Sweet Peach Lemonade or a Cajun Bloody Mary? You’ll also find a range of mocktails, spirits, house wine and beer on the menu, as well as plenty of softs and stills so everyone can raise a glass to great food and even better company!
So, next time you’re blinded by the glitz and glamour of London’s Leicester Square, take the short 2 minute stroll over to one of Leicester Square’s most unique places to eat and allow the smell of spices and seafood boil to transport you to the American South. Walk ins are welcome but bookings are most definitely encouraged!
