Angry Crab Shack Makes El Paso Debut with Grand Opening

Mayor Johnson and local leaders to attend July 10 Celebration with Spicy Wing Contest, Raffles, Family Fun and a Whole Lotta Seafood

EL PASO, Texas, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Angry Crab Shack, a leading full-service restaurant known for its signature seafood boils and bold Asian-Cajun flavors, is making its West Texas debut with the grand opening of its newest location in El Paso at 7019 N Mesa St. The opening celebration will kick off at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 10, and will feature a jam-packed lineup of events for the community, including a ribbon cutting ceremony, family-friendly entertainment and a spicy wing eating contest between El Paso's police and fire departments to benefit a local non-profit.

The El Paso opening marks the second Angry Crab Shack location in Texas after the Atascocita location and follows the brand's ongoing strategic growth plans in key markets across the country. The El Paso location will deliver on the same high-quality ingredients people have come to expect from Angry Crab Shack, including live Maine Lobsters and Pacific NW Dungeness Crab displayed in an in-house tank, with the same hands-on, family-friendly experience diners have come to know and love.

"El Paso has a rich culture and vibrant energy that aligns perfectly with our brand values and we could not be more thrilled to officially bring Angry Crab Shack's unique seafood experience to the community," said Ron Lou, Founder and CEO of Angry Crab Shack. "From customizable seafood boils to our family-style dining and local community involvement, we're looking forward to becoming a fun, flavorful part of the neighborhood."

• A spicy wing eating contest featuring members of El Paso's Police Department versus the city's Fire Department with a $1,000 donation to each team's charity of choice.

• Prize wheel giveaways where guests can spin to win Angry Crab Shack merchandise, gift cards, and more.
