Crab N Spice - crabilicious - Seafood Near Me - Claremont, California

I'd give NEGATIVE stars if I could!!! Randomly came in for opening day - they had a whole event going on with a DJ, performers, and a balloon animal artist. It was supposed to be a good time, but ........... I had an absolute HORRENDOUS time. There was a slight wait time which I didn't mind.. I mean it was opening day. I got a free balloon animal which was nice and was able to just wait and listen to the DJ. I'm now seated along an open area where servers can come out from behind the counter to the tables. Again, it's all fun and games with music and performers. I had been sitting for 15-20 minutes before finally being able to flag someone down to take my order and ask for something to drink. Mind you it was opening day but it wasn't THAT busy anymore since it was near closing time. It was more of the employees trying to organize the performer. Anyways, I'm waiting for my food (hungry) and the DJ comes in to play the bongos. You know it's a good time - complete vibe. He's trying to hype up the restaurant. Then he comes towards that open area where I'm near. The owner is having friends/people stand up to dance which is fine at a distance. My food finally comes out and I'm excited. I love seafood boil and it was about to be CHOW time. BUT THEN.. these people are crowding my table to the point where BUTTS are ON MY TABLE and they're pushing my table from dancing. I get so mad and frustrated I'm telling these people to MOVE AWAY FROM MY TABLE AND FOOD. They move but then proceed to continue harassing me, my time, my food, my table, my experience, all of it. I finally flag a server and she tells me that she's able to move me but only to a spot that's directly in front of the speaker. But the sound/music was NOT the issue, I had NO PROBLEM with the noise. My issue was RANDOM BUTTS near MY FOOD. So whatever, I move. I'm finishing the rest of my meal. DJ finishes his bongo set and walks out apologizing for "the headache" when it's not necessarily the DJs fault, it's the manager's/owner's fault for not controlling the situation. Then I get my check. On top of that whole experience they mischarge me and charge me for additional items that I did not order. I go up to the counter and ask the one and only server that has been helping me and the rest of the customers to fix the issue. However, she didn't know how to adjust it so she calls over someone from that group of the owner hanging with their friends in the corner. The food itself was average compared to most seafood boils and lacked flavor. The spiciest level was nowhere near spicy and was mild at best - if I had to compare it would be like the lemon pepper seasoning at BWW. The food had me fighting for my life the next morning. I went to the beach and I had never ever experienced such a stressful almost accidental explosive restroom moment in my entire life. That should give you an idea of the quality of the food. For the sake of your sanity and tummy, just go to literally anywhere else. There's other nearby seafood boils read more

We stopped in for dinner the other night. There is plenty of parking available. The restaurant itself is small but charming. Love the artwork in the building. We started off with several appetizers. The golden onion rings, the delicious Cajun fries and the yummy fried green beans were all great. The best one was the crab fries. Don't miss out on those! The Captain's Chowder in a sourdough bread bowl was next. I love clam chowder but I will always get the Captain's Chowder from now on. I love the tomato base and the sausage. So warm and comforting. The seafood boil was next. We got corn, potatoes, shrimp, crawdads and clams in one pan. The lobster and snow crab clusters were in the other pan. Everything was so good and fresh! The crab legs were my favorite! If you still have room, then you have to get the chocolate beignets. Made fresh and have a light crispy top and doughy middle. So good and the perfect way to end the meal. Also, the service here was absolutely amazing and stopped by to check on everyone in the restaurant. Great seafood boil and appetizers will make this your go-to spot! read more

We were in the area and wanted some seafood boil. We dined like royalty here and everyone has been so nice. They kept refilling our drinks and the food came out fast. Everything we got was really good. We pretty much ordered almost all of the appetizers: onion rings, Cajun fries, fried string beans, garlic noodles, fries with crab meat, and captains chowder.for the seafood boil we got shrimp, corn, clams, crawfish, potato, and corn with All-in sauce and mild and it was soo good. We ended our meal with the beignets and they were perfect. This was amazing. I also love that there's a sink outside the restroom cause everyone's gonna be messy. read more

Crab N Spice - Crab legs and shrimp with mussels - Seafood Near Me - Claremont, California

Came here after seeing an advertisement on Instagram and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is well decorated and has a welcoming atmosphere. I also appreciated that the market pricing is clearly displayed on the wall so customers know exactly what to expect. Our group ordered a pound of shrimp each. Since we came on a Sunday afternoon, the wait was a bit longer than expected. That said, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt since they haven't been open for very long and are likely still working through the process of a new business. While waiting for our shrimp, our fries came out first. Although I thought the portion was a little small for the price, they were crispy and well-seasoned. The shrimp was decent, not the best I've had, but not the worst. I do wish the shrimp itself had been a little higher quality, but the seasoning was flavorful. As we were leaving, the restaurant started getting much busier, which is a good sign. However, it also seemed like they were a bit understaffed. We had to wait a while to receive our check and then again for it to be picked up. Overall, I think this restaurant has a lot of potential. The atmosphere and seasoning were definitely highlights, and with a little improvement in service and shrimp quality, I'd be happy to come back and give them another try. read more

Saw this place as we were driving by. Decided to give it a try! We ordered our food to go. We got the wings and fries. We also ordered the bag of shrimp a side of rice and corn. My wings were okay, they only gave me 5 wings and a small amount of fries. I was expecting at least 8 wings so I was a little surprised there. We didnt like the shrimp too much not enough seasoning I don know if it was the seasoning that was in the bag but I was just okay. The corn as well. We didnt even fully finish it. The customer service was good the staff was very friendly and cool, but unfortunately I couldnt finish the food. I may give this place a second chance down the line. read more

I usually give places the benefit of the doubt, but this Labor Day visit was embarrassing for a restaurant charging almost $50 a head. Being from Florida, I eat seafood boils constantly, and what they are serving here is an absolute insult to the culture. All You Can Eat" where? They bring out tiny portions meant for a toddler, force the whole table to share, and cap reorders at a pathetic 1/2 pound at a time. To make matters worse, crab clusters are an extra $15 upcharge--and the cluster they brought out was so laughably small it made zero sense. Why are we rationing like it is the 1940s! You get ONE potato. ONE piece of corn per person. The shrimp came out completely un-deveined. I paid nearly $50 to eat shrimp poop? Absolutely not (see picture for proof). Their "mild" sauce tasted unnaturally sweet and ruined the seafood, while the "medium" was the only thing remotely decent with some flavor. To cap off the disrespect, expecting a $15 tip when the service model isn't even traditional table service takes serious nerve. The staff on duty was great, but good customer service can't disguise dirty shrimp, ruined sauce, and aggressive rationing. Don't waste your hard-earned money here!! read more

Even though they're new we went and had a horrible experience prices are pretty expensive the food had no flavor the seating is horrible this place is too small to even bring a group of people or even a family of 4 the table they sat us in was wayyy to small plus the person behind us kept moving and bumping into us it was really annoying I wouldn't go here I rather go to boiling crab this place is not good! read more

I have been to crab n spice in Claremont during the opening celebration and it was a blast. We ordered the all in sauce because it is the same thing as the whole sha-bang! We got the tray that had shrimp, lobster tails, crab legs and muscles in addition to corn and potatoes. Which we all loved My favorite however was the crab fries after it got cold! For some reason it hits differently cold I also got an extra pound of shrimp and a side of rice and it was a hit together! My sister got their pasta which she also loved. Now their young manager serviced our table and he paid great care and recommended us his favorites which did not disappoint. Of course it was the opening ceremony so the ambiance was very much celebratory. We won a whole year of free crab n spice and my sister got a Stanley tumbler. Honestly every guest had something at the end of the night. After such a great experience we ended up visiting their sister location in Dos Lagos and we will be coming back to crab n spice! read more

The food was so good; the shrimp, the fries. Everything was well seasoned. Everyone was so nice as soon as we walked in. Thank you Joana and Natalie! read more

Personally I had a great dining experience here and found the food to be great! Came in on a Sunday night around 8p and it was moderately busy. I had been craving clam chowder and ended up getting a pound of shrimp with potatoes and corn, and a side of rice. I chose the sauce that was recommended by waitress as the favorite sauce. Medium hot, I didn't want anything too spicy. I was pleasantly surprised at the clam chowder and loved the bread bowl option. In my opinion good clam chowder is hard to find around here so I was very happy with it. The Cajun butter garlic seasoning was perfect and so juicy and flavorful. The rice is a must to eat with the sauce. Overall one of my most enjoyable meals this summer. read more

The atmosphere is great, and everyone in the establishment seems comfortable and relaxed while waiting for their orders. This was my second visit, and I probably should have left a review after my first experience--but I didn't, so here we are. This time, I placed my order online for pickup. During the ordering process, I received a notification stating that my order would be ready in approximately 10 minutes. Keep in mind, I was about 15 minutes away, so I figured the timing would work out perfectly. When I arrived, I walked up to the counter and gave the cashier my name for the pickup. Unfortunately, my order still wasn't ready. I ended up waiting an additional 15-20 minutes before receiving it. Overall, the atmosphere is pleasant and the establishment seems welcoming. However, when customers are given an estimated pickup time--especially when ordering ahead--it would be appreciated if the order were reasonably close to being ready upon arrival. Hopefully, they can improve the accuracy of their online pickup times because waiting an additional 15-20 minutes after already allowing more than the estimated preparation time defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. read more

We got a pound of shrimp each both spicy n it wasn't spicy at all. Not one thing of spice, had enough seasoning n enough sauce but no heat. Which for me n my hgrl was a bummer cuz we love some heat. The Cajun fries were really good n well done. The service was good they were really nice n attentive. The space was clean with good amount of seating for how small the place is. We would personally not go back but at least we tried it. read more

Great food! Great service! Went with a friend and loved that everything was explained to us more in detail before ordering. We both ordered the all you can eat which you can pick and choose items u want. Pretty good selection of items from seafood to even starter items. Everything tasted fresh and u can also choose ur own spice level as well. They also have a Happy hour menu and also a lunch special menu. Pics added to the review on both of those. We had great service with both Natalie and David working there. Checked up on us periodically during our visit, making sure everything was ok. Place also clean and cleaned immediately after customers leave their table. I will be back to try their lunch menu, especially for the prices! read more

Crab N Spice - Benet Beignet ( 5pcs ) - Seafood Near Me - Claremont, California

I came here the other day again finally to get the all you can eat that they are famous for! And let me tell you, I can see why. First of all, thank you to David and Natalie for such great service here! The place is very clean and you could tell they work really hard here. I love the decor of the restaurant. The restaurant looks cool inside and outside! So in the AYCE, my friend and I had lobster tail, crab legs, crawfish, shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage and I had all lemon garlic mild spice. Everything was excellent and tasted so fresh! To wash it all down, they have Pepsi products. I did have Dr Pepper on one round, and unsweetened iced tea on another round, and they kept refilling my water! My friend and I also shared some wonderful sides of fried green beans, onion rings, which I had well done, fried shrimp, and lemon pepper fries. Their ranch dip and aïoli dip are so great with the side items. If you get a chance, please come and try this out. Come hungry and make sure you order everything that you're gonna eat so you don't get charged extra for taking it home. But if you do, you won't regret it anyways, because it was all so good. And everybody at the same table needs to please make sure that you agree on all the items that you're gonna eat so that way you can all finish it together. That also helps not get any extra charges and it also reduces waste. I also was blessed to be able to speak with the owner Margaret while she was there. She is such a sweet lady and I am definitely glad to have met and talked with her. Finally, I know seafood boil can get a little expensive, so they do have a regular menu and also a lunch menu for a little bit more cost-efficient items as I know some people are having a tougher time. I've had many things on all these menus and you will not be disappointed! See you here!!! read more

Ill say yes to this place. Everything was consistent and very favorable. Lots of flavors and the heat level was perfect. I recommend medium. To enjoy the spice without it being too hot. The food was hella good. I dont know what anyone would give this place anything under a 5 stars. Go with friends you don't need to impress, because nobody looks elegant sucking crab meat out of a shell with butter smeared across their cheek. It's messy, loud, delightfully chaotic, and easily one of the most satisfying carb-and-garlic comas in the Inland Empire. read more

Satisfied my craving wow... get the crab spice seasoning it's the perfect amount of seasoning plus saltiness!! The cajun fries were also a fire side for my meal and to top it all off the music choice (90's rnb) was perfection, it's like they knew i was coming hehe :)) read more

First off I am going to start by saying seafood boil is my favorite food, so when I saw Crab N Spice move in near me I was excited to try. Finally made our way over there today, the restaurant itself was very clean, but also it's recently opened so that's to be expected. We decided to try the all you can eat (shrimp, mussels, & crawfish) we asked for the seasoning to be "all in" medium. We received our food and it looked great, we started to dig in an realized there was next to no spice and an off putting sweetness to the spice, we looked and saw the "all in" included a coconut spice, so we just thought "okay that's our fault" and moved on. The mussels were *okay* the crawfish were TINY and the shrimp were huge, but it was so difficult to get the shell off because the shrimp were mushy - which is never a good sign for shrimp. We decided to do a second round and order some snow crab clusters (my favorite) and we decided to order the Cajun crab & spice mix with the lemon garlic (to try and avoid the random sweetness) we were wrong, there was still a sugar sweetness to the spice which was off putting. Especially for what we were being charged. Note that the TV was playing a WW2 graphic violence movie while we were trying to eat. Please also take all these 5 star reviews with a grain of salt as they have posted EVERYWHERE to give them a 5 star review for a freebie of a Thai tea. So yeah.... Paid $160 to be severely disappointed. I'll just stick to my usual seafood boil place. Also good luck with the Cajun crab moving in across the street read more

Went to see what all the hype was about since I saw multiple advertisements on instagram. The rice was mushy like if it was mashed potatoes. Server said they were making more, but thats not the point. Why bring it out like this. There was a person fixing/drilling next to our table and the dust was going everywhere. The shrimp flavor is OK, but not worth $22 a pound. Bought 2lbs of shrimp, two sodas, and one rice for $62. The location is nice. It was also empty on a Monday afternoon. read more

Anyhow, I think they have an AYCE menu during the weekday but only menu items available on weekends. read more
