Crab N Spice - Seafood Near Me - Carson, California

Food for to go: I got the head on, shell on shrimp, fried string beans and onion rings, and I got the spicy all in sauce. The food tastes good, I was just turned off by the shrimp. Please take the time to devein them. It gives a gritty and bitter taste to the shrimp. Service: very good Ambiance: From what I saw the place is cozy and clean read more

Food was very delicious. Great flavor with the right amount of spice. The service was as amazing answered every question we had.

Great customer service! Joryl was amazing and constantly checking in on us. My bf and I truly appreciated that. The clam chowder bread bowl was the best I've ever had! Sorry forgot to take pictures because I was so hungry! read more

I've been to the one in Vegas. So thought we'd try one closer to home in Carson. Service was good. Wait staff was friendly. Didn't do much checking up on us though. Ran out of water pretty quickly at the table and it was not refilled the entire time we were eating. The main difference that I didn't like about this location vs the Vegas location, everyone shared the same bag of food. So couldn't get it the way I wanted. Had to get the Assassin level of spicy on the side. Which I was charged an additional $3 for. My friend wanted spicy, and again had to pay an additional $3 for. So an additional $6 because 2 of our group if 4 can't handle too much spice; so we had to order mild. Seems like they nickel and dime you at the Carson location; whereas the Vegas location, each person got their own bag the way they want it for the same price. $39.99 for all you can eat seafood boils not bad though. And the food was good. It was pretty loud in there. We couldn't really talk too much because of the noise level. Not just with the other patrons in the establishment but also the music playing. At one point, the noise level actually started to give me a headache. Would probably go back again, but wouldn't pay extra for the additional sauce. read more

Small Parking lot, Huge open space seating. It is a very cozy and welcoming ambiance. The waiter was very patient with us asking a lot of questions & indecisive because it was out first time there. It is all you can eat for $39.99/adult & $17.99/kids - however $$$ add up with drinks, add-ons, etc. Great tasting seafood though!! Highly recommend and will be going back - if & when I am in Carson! :) read more

The food was good side note mix the bag before you pour it out so the flavors an sauce gets all over the seafood. This was my first time and the waitress didn't explain it. Now it's a good value for what it is. I feel what I was disappointed was their are a good amount of waitress but mine did not service us adequately. Second the tables are smooched together you are packed to close for comfort for me. Getting up to refill your own drinks and use restroom is such a tight fit. And lastly we ordered their poor excuse of beignets. Just thinking about them makes me want to gag. They oil they fry them in are so old it tasted like a fried croissant from pillsbury with powered sugar .. HARD PASS. But like I say give it a try and you decide. read more

We like to come after work and it's not packed so we tend to beat the crowd. The boil is amazing and the service is good.

Crab N Spice - Seafood Boil - Seafood Near Me - Carson, California

It's a hit and miss spot. The first time I went my food was good. I went back and they were enforcing rules; If you order the seafood boil all you can eat and you want another serving and don't eat it all and want to take it home you have to pay an additional $30. If you don't take it home and just leave it there it's an additional $20. I'm not going back. read more

My niece called on a Sunday & asked if reservations were needed b/c a football game was on. She was told there was no wait. Go figure we arrived to a full house & waited more than 30 minutes to be seated. To begin, there was no greeter at the counter, no seats, & nowhere to stand except literally in the doorway or outside. man pace back & forth to the kitchen area & check names on a piece of paper. He never said hello or offer assistance. I assumed I needed to write down my name, and did. I heard the man as a male server if he could take another table. The guy was honest & said he needed a few more minutes until another server came to work. After being seated, we were told the rules of all you can eat. Bummer! 1. Only the first round includes snow crab legs. 2. EVERY person at the table has to order all you can eat or NO ONE gets it!! 3. You are charged for any leftover food. Wtf!! We stuck with crab legs. As for taste, it's okay. There's more of a dry spice taste in butter oil than actual flavor/salt. I doubt if I'd run to return here even though it's 5 minutes from my house. I'd rather drive to Torrance for Boiling Crab or any of their farther locations. read more

If I could give ZERO STARS I WOULD. This place is overrated, overpriced and the proportion are LITTLE. This is my second time coming and it was horrible quality the food doesn't taste good the spicy level WASN'T EVEN SPICY we got sausage and there was only FOUR PIECES ??? How is that possible we asked if we can get extra sausage and make it more spicy 1. NOT SPICY 2. They tried to charge us more just to get extra sausage? Like wtf this is the worst seafood place. We asked 1 pound of shrimp with sausage, egg, and corn AND THEY ONLY GAVE US ONEEEE CORN. They charge you over the littlest stuff and it's so dumb horrible food quality just horrible. Oh also that corn TASTE HORRIBLE read more

Food was amazing hot and delicious! I will be returning... the service was excellent! We killed it... read more

Not that good at all for the money!!! Won't be Back! Service was OK but the food didn't taste that great

Visited a friend in the area and this was our last stop such a great choice! We came around 6 PM on a Tuesday and hit the perfect time for unlimited shrimp, crab, clams, corn, and more. Everything was fresh and packed with flavor. Gio was our server and he was awesome. Super friendly and attentive the whole time. Service was 10/10! Loved the Hawaiian-style decor too, it totally fits the chill, beachy vibe. Plenty of free parking, which is always a plus. Great spot to end the night with good food and good company. read more

Almost as good as the Las Vegas location. The seafood here is very tasty. The service was great. Although the music was enjoyable it was a tad loud. The overall experience was worth the money. Don't forget to order the extra crab legs for an even tastier experience. Enjoy. read more

Crab N Spice in Carson is a seafood feast chain (other locations are in Ventura, Oxnard, and Palmdale etc). Its primary highlight is the all you can eat buffet for $39.99. This place has a line out the door at times and it's popular on social media (TikTok and Instagram) so I assume they have a good social media person. The Captain's Choice Combo ($45) was what the 2 of us shared--it was packed with snow crab legs, shrimp, mussels, clams, 1 corn, sausage, and potatoes. It came drenched in their signature Cajun-style sauce mixed with the lemon seasoning, which was flavorful and had a nice kick. We got ours mild and it def had some spice. We also tried the clam chowder ($8), which was rich, thick, and filling. However, it was a bit light on actual clams. They also have this option in a bread bowl. We got a side of French bread ($4) which came with melted butter (I should've asked for garlic butter). Unfortunately, the soda machine system was down during our visit, which was frustrating, especially in an all-you-can-eat setting. The bathrooms were messy and could definitely use more attention. Service was spotty--likely because of the buffet-style, AYCE setup. You pay with your server in the back. The meal ended on a high note with their freshly made beignets ($5)--warm, sweet, and powdered to perfection. You can get these with Nutella. It's right next door to Crumbl so I was debating Crumbl dessert or beignets but I'm glad I got them because you don't see them many places besides New Orleans - they are the same price as a Crumbl Cookie and I can get a cookie anytime. It's also next to a Verizon store. Parking lot in front is not that big but there's parking nearby at Raising Cane's or even across the street at the Carson Mall / IKEA. Overall, decent food with a few standout items, but service and cleanliness could use improvement. Lastly note the hours because ayce ends earlier read more

Food - Cajun fries were a 2/5. Lemon pepper fries were a 3.5/5. Calamari was a 4/5. That's just the starters! Came here and got the AYCE seafood boil. All you can eat. It was $39.99 per person. You're able to pick 3 seafoods, any starts, any add ons. You do get snow crab without extra charge on your FIRST round. Seafood choice was just shrimp, mussels, crawfish, and snow crabs. The shrimp was pretty good, mussels were AWFUL. I've had way better. Snow crab was ehh okay. Flavor we chose was the CNS LEMON GARLIC, Mild spice. It was good! Service - came in on a Saturday at around 2pm, waited about 20 mins to get seated. Food came out pretty quick! So service was fast and efficient. The hostess is very nice. The waiters on the other hand, idk if they were just tired or going through it. But the waiter we had didn't explain to us anything about the menu. Didn't ask us if it was our first time (it was) just assumed we been there before. We asked another waiter for ketchup and she said ok. Never received our ketchup. Ambiance - small space for a crab house! read more

We got the AYCE special.Service was good. Our first round they forgot about the crawfish, but got it out fairly quick as soon as we told them. the first round comes with snow crab. If you want more then you pay extra. The appetizers were good. We got Cajun fries, Fried Green Beans, and Onion rings. We also got steamed rice. The Ayce comes with shrimp, crawfish, and mussels. We primarily stuck with shrimp. For the mix we added potatoes, sausage, corn, and quail eggs. The all-in sauce has the most flavor, however it's pretty oily. Overall, it was just okay. Nothing great about what we ate, but nothing horrible either. read more

Great food for a great price. Quick and friendly service. Clean restaurant . We enjoyed the crab and shrimp. The fried green beans are also very tasty! My only suggestion is that they add more options to the menu like clams and perhaps chicken sausage for those who don't eat red meat. read more

My friend saw a reel on Instagram about this place and it's all you can eat for $39.99 and INSISTED that we had to check it out. Lo and behold--we actually went on the Saturday before Mother's Day, and they weren't running the special... But we had driven so far so we decided to stay. The outside was packed with people waiting for their names to be called. The inside was packed as well and a little chaotic. We were told our wait would be 40-60 minutes. So we waited outside. When we were finally seated, our waitress was very nice and pleasant. She was so quite apologetic about the wait. We all ordered crab boils of some sort. I also ordered a shrimp basket and my friend ordered garlic noodles. There was no consensus on quality. My opinion is that, compared to other crab boils I've had in LA, this place was lower on the flavor list. Although they had a variety of flavors to choose from, I got the most popular one (their signature flavor) and found that the sauce the crab, potatoes and corn was in was actually not very flavorful. It was DRENCHED in fat though (couldn't tell if it was butter or oil or both). I could see the garlic and some spices, but struggled to taste it. BUT the amount of crab clusters they gave in a pound was definitely more than what I'm used to at places like The Boiling Crab and Star Crab. The fried shrimp was disappointing because it was half battered and not crispy. My two friends did not agree on quality either. We all had the same flavor. One completely loved hers and kept talking about how good it was. The other said it was mid, too greasy and that she'd had better. The garlic noodles were a hit, and the waitress brought us rice on the house for the wait. I will not come back here, simply because I've had too many better places. Even though I got more crab for my money, I'd rather pay more and get better flavor. read more

Crab N Spice - AYCE Adult - Seafood Near Me - Carson, California

Walked in to a very packed establishment. Allowing for our party of 2 to get the last available table until guests were done and ready to leave. Our visit was pleasant and attentive by our server. We chose the all you can eat seafood boil. Which was really flavorful. We ended up full prior to our second round which was a good thing. The environment was lively here and people having an enjoyable time. The music was a great old school playlist but I could also hear the kitchen playing their own music style which was funny in my mind.. but overall there is a little something for everyone . You can get mild spicy or off the charts HOT . Which ever you like. Parking is tight so you may have to circle around once or twice. But I still liked our visit here. read more

I had a really good experience with this being my first time doing an AYCE seafood boil. The staff were really friendly and attentive. The food was really good. The only complaint that I have was the crab legs were EXTREMELY salty which through me off because all of the other seafood was fine. Would possibly come again and just not order the crab. read more

Went here for my birthday and this was my first experience ever eating a seafood boil. I was very impressed with the taste of the food and the staff was super nice. They offered to give us free dessert which was a super plus! The vibes were pretty cool as well very busy but super comfortable. My only complaint is the shrimp sometimes felt soggy and soft as if they were overcooked. That is my only complaint. Other than that we had a great time at the restaurant and would come back! read more
