Angry Crab Shack, the locally owned and operated seafood restaurant opened by former NFL player Ron Lou in 2013, announced that it will open its 16th in-state restaurant location in Tempe in early November.
The new restaurant will host a grand opening celebration complete with a ceremonial ribbon cutting attended by local officials, a hot wing eating competition between the city of Tempe’s police and fire departments, raffle prizes, a spin-to-win wheel and free activities for children to enjoy, according to a news release. The 7,800-square-foot restaurant, located at 660 W. Warner Road, will feature an outdoor patio with a misting system, eight 65-68-inch television screens indoors and a dedicated to-go order pickup area to better manage the flow of traffic.
“Tempe residents can expect our consistently high-quality seafood and friendly service in their own community,” said Andy Diamond, Angry Crab Shack President, in a statement. “We’re excited to connect with our new neighbors and become a place for friends and families to gather, roll up their sleeves and enjoy flavorful food.”
In recent years, Angry Crab Shack has grown beyond its Arizona roots with expansions into Alabama, Georgia, Nevada, Texas and Washington. The seafood restaurant will continue to open locations across the country to meet its goal of operating 100 restaurants nationwide by 2025. Its ownership also announced plans this fall for potential development in the United Kingdom.
“Offering seafood at family-friendly pricing is a pillar of Angry Crab Shack’s mission to be an active community participant and positive force wherever we open,” said Lou. “We look forward to discovering charitable opportunities and collaborating with like minded Tempe organizations.”
The concept’s newest location will feature Angry Crab Shack’s signature seafood boil with bold Asian-Cajun flavors, customizable with seven different sauces and six spice levels. Additionally, the restaurant serves seafood-focused appetizers, sandwiches, soups and salads with its interactive, all hands-on deck dining experience where butcher paper covers tables, no plates are used and hands serve as utensils with cutlery available upon request.
