LA Crab Shack – the LA stands for Louisiana, not Los Angeles – has opened at the year-old AZ International Marketplace on the northeast corner of Dobson and Broadway in west Mesa.
The menu offers ‘‘all the flavors of the Gulf Coast,’’ including crawfish, oysters, shrimp, frog legs, alligator, catfish, clams, mussels, and crabs – all by the pound.
Happy hour specials include $5 hot wings, $1 oysters, $2.50 Bud Lights, $2.75 glasses of wine, and $3 margaritas from 3-6 p.m. Monday-Friday.
LA Crab Shack’s concept is very similar to the mega-popular Angry Crab Shack, which debuted in Mesa in 2013 and has grown to six Valley locations.
Another similar restaurant, Jimmy T’s Holy Crab Shack, is opening soon on the northwest corner of Alma School and Ray in Chandler.
LA Crab Shack is open 3-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 3-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday.
