I've had a lot of seafood boils but this ranks at the top. Food was fresh, flavorful, delicious!! Service was top notch!! Shout out to Brett for the awesome service and introduction to Crab N Spice as we were first timers. I love the atmosphere it's so cool and CLEAN inside! Absolutely love the hand washing stations . Brilliant idea. You can easily walk the park right after so solid location. I will be back 1000000%. Any bad reviews I see are outlandish. Thanks again!!!! read more

I came for a date night with my husband on a random Tuesday night. It was initially very quiet, but when our food arrived, plenty of larger groups suddenly came in, making the place even livelier than it already was. We ordered whole shrimp, quail eggs, and sausages with the Crab N Spice sauce, the Cajun pasta, and an extra all-in sauce on the side. Our servers were friendly and explained everything thoroughly, as it was our first time here. They have plenty of options for the shrimp: peeled, heads off, etc. Our food came rather quickly after placing the order. The table was spacious and ready, lined with papers and a bucket for our trash. Our water was always full, and they checked in on us at the right time so we never felt like our servers abandoned us during our meal. The shrimp was cooked perfectly in the bag. My mistake was ordering the all-in on the side, because that is definitely my favorite sauce! and unfortunately made the Crab N Spice sauce milder than it was. I love the quail eggs in there! Sausages were okay. The letdown was the Cajun pasta. It felt lacking in flavor. Good thing we had the all-in sauce on the side, so it came in handy for adding a bit of flavor to the pasta. The pasta itself was cooked nicely. We will be back with the family and try the other items on the menu. The place is very spacious and can accommodate large groups. read more

Crab N Spice delivered excellent customer service from start to finish. My brother brought us here for their AYCE seafood boil, but we arrived a little too late for it. Luckily, we ended up ordering a variety of other dishes and everything was fantastic. For our party of three, we ordered the Castaway Combo, popcorn chicken basket, fries with crab meat (plus extra crab meat), garlic noodles, and a shrimp po'boy. We were given extra lemons. Honestly, I would rate this place a 100 out of 5 stars. The food was incredibly flavorful and well-seasoned without being overly salty. The seafood tasted fresh, honestly, everything we ordered was fresh. We definitely over-ordered, but we happily took the leftovers home. Have you ever ordered popcorn chicken from a restaurant, bit into it, only to discover that it's 5% chicken, 95% batter? Not here, friends. You get juicy and flavorful chicken and it tastes even better after you squeeze lemon over it! Just grab the popcorn chicken so you can snack on it as you wait for your seafood boil. Parking can be a bit limited directly in front of the restaurant since it's shared with other businesses, but if you don't mind a short walk, there's additional parking available in the nearby mall lot. I also really appreciated how clean the restaurant was: the dining area and restroom were both spotless. A nice touch was that they provide gloves, which makes eating a seafood boil much less messy. The next time I'm in California, I will absolutely be coming back! read more

Crab N Spice - In a food coma after Good Food - Seafood Near Me - Corona, California

Its been a while since I've been to a seafood boil spot, so I decided to give Crab N Spice a try. The inside of the restaurant was roomy, with plenty of seating available. Our server was very friendly and attentive and took good care of us. They offer a variety of seafood options sold by the pound including different types of crab, shrimp, mussels, and lobster tail. I ordered their one pound of shrimp, half a pound of sausage, corn, and potatoes, along with a side of their garlic noodles. As For the sauce, I chose the Crab N Spice flavor. Overall to me the flavor was decent but it didn't really wow me. The garlic noodles however, were really good and had great flavor. I might come back to give them another try. read more

I had an amazing seafood all-you-can-eat experience at Crab and Spice! You get to pick your flavors, from mild to super spicy, and the spice add-on is definitely worth the extra cost--it really elevates the seafood. The portions are generous, and everything is cooked perfectly. The ambience is lively and fun, with a casual, welcoming vibe that makes it perfect for groups or family dinners. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, making sure you have everything you need. I left feeling full, satisfied, and impressed with the overall experience. I highly recommend this spot for seafood lovers who enjoy bold, customizable flavors! read more

It's been awhile since Ive eaten here and prices have gone up $10 fair since things are getting expensive. It is a bummer that they are not doing military discounts anymore.

Crab N Spice - Entrance - Seafood Near Me - Corona, California

I stopped by this spot while walking around Dos Lagos, curious to try it since I'm a fan of Kickin' Crab and this place is closer to home. Ambiance: Visited on a weekday--quiet, with only one other couple. The decor is fun and inviting, with TVs everywhere and plenty of space. Food & Drinks: I had the "Captain's Choice"--great flavor and fresh seafood, 10/10. The $9 Lemon Pepper fries were a very small portion and tasted believe average 4/10. The Lagunitas comes in a mason jar that looks small but actually holds 16oz--surprisingly generous. (I had to research myself as looks are deceiving the glass looks small) Portions & Pricing: Seafood broil was priced fairly but could've used more food. Fries were $9 for a small portion. I left still a bit hungry and ate some of my wife's leftovers. Pros: Great service Tasty, fresh food Nice atmosphere and convenient location Handy trash bins at each table Cons: Small portions, especially sides Prices are a bit high--likely due to the location If they improve portion sizes or pricing, I'd definitely become a regular. read more

First time here and I was a bit disappointed on the flavor of the food. The butter/sauce of the boil was a bit too thick and it congealed fast. It didn't stay hot making the flavor of the shrimp and crab legs a bit off. The service was great though. Server checked on us constantly. Very attentive. read more

10/10 AYCE Seafood Boil - Omg this was insanely delicious and such a steal. I'm already dreaming about coming back. As a total sides girl my top picks were the onion rings, Cajun fries, and fried green beans. Cost - $39.99 for AYCE seafood boil and it's so worth it. Just a heads up the crab and lobster in the video aren't part of the AYCE deal since they're an extra charge but totally worth adding. And don't sleep on their $10 po'boys all through August. read more

We had such a great experience at this seafood boil spot. My husband and I each got a pound of shrimp, and there was a deal where he got an extra half pound for free (this deal is limited to one per table), and cajun fries to share. The shrimp was incredibly easy to peel and the ALL IN seasoning was packed with flavor. The service really stood out! The staff checked on us often, and the electronic carts that bring out the fries were a fun and convenient touch. One thing that really impressed us was how clean the space was. Seafood boils can get messy fast, but the dining area was spotless, and the hand washing stations were just as clean and well maintained. To finish things off, we enjoyed some delicious beignets served with Nutella that were absolutely amazing, warm and so much powdered sugar. We honestly can't wait to come back soon. The only thing we didn't love was the michelada (the mix just wasn't our favorite), but everything else was truly excellent! read more

Crab N Spice - Beignet (5 Pcs) With Nutella - Seafood Near Me - Corona, California

I hit up a bunch of seafood boil spots from LA to San Diego. This is one of the worst spots. From service to food. I read some of the reviews here and look like some people got lucky with great service and got tasty food. This place is really overpriced compared to Kickin Crab, Boiling Crab, Pier 88 and Shrimp Factory. This is my second time coming here. I came here to give them another chance because last time me and my friend did the all you can eat and still didn't taste as good as other competitors. We tried different sauces. I always prefer the house or a blend of everything with medium spicy. If you like bland food then I guess this is the spot to eat. Food 1/5 So I bought 1lb of shrimp, sausage and a clam chowder breadbowl. Next time I'm going to bring in something to weigh the shrimp just because I'm bored. There is no way that is a pound because everywhere else we go, the pound of shrimp there are more in the bag. Paying $50 for this is INSANE They also charge you for gloves lol. The taste was yet again bland. We did medium spice and a mix of everything. Still . The sauce is weak in my opinion. I didn't take a picture of the clam chowder breadbowl but it was also disappointing. It was boring and had no flavor. I choose BJs clam chowder over this and that should say alot. Service 1/5 Last time I came I got really good service. This weekend I had the worst service. I had to go up to the front register like 2-3 different times to ask for forks, bibs and gloves. There was 6 of us and charged with an 18% service charge. This left a bad taste in my mouth. Imagine paying an extra $8 for no quality service... Atmosphere 4/5 The only thing great about this spot is the atmosphere. Drive the extra 20-30 minute to Pier 88 or Shrimp Factory Too pricey for the amount of unflavored seafood boil you get and for no quality service. read more

I seriously thought this was only in LV so I was super happy that a legit cajun crawfish spot is in the IE. First of all, this is in a really nice and new plaza, so other than dining here, it's also a great place to just chill and walk around. We came with a table of 9. They do reservations so make sure to take advantage of it through open table! The service was solid. We had Travis help us out and he accommodated us really well, even on a busy Saturday night. I like how in addition to creating your own bag, there were preset bags. We ordered the pirates choice, which was awesome. Definitely get the crab n spice sauce, but we'll probably do all in next time. For the apps, we got the cod and fries, wings, and calamari. All were great... the portions were just a little small. 100% make room for dessert because the beignets were out of this world. We ordered both the chocolate and the regular ones. Both come steaming hot and ridiculously delicious. We'll definitely be back! read more

Jose was a great server. I will come back. Taste was great. Environment and set up was appealing.

Honestly I can go on and on about Crab and Spice. 1st the ad/advertisement on Instagram as well as in-person in very deceiving , un-ethical and straight out false advertisement. All you can eat does not include crab legs, totallya separate purchase and or additional fee however they present it to you. Bottom line it's not what it's advertised. Ex: $44. Inside of restaurant comes with an additional $35 (still wanted to know what for when asked its because of season??? Then if you add crabs its an additional $15. I will praise flavor of the $162 small pan of potatoes 4 corn and 5 clusters that was missing 2-3 legs. I think that's a start. For other seafood choices you may enjoy if you eat claims shrinp etc: AT your own risk ‍ read more

I came in with high expectations for a Cajun-style seafood boil, especially since I'm familiar with places like Hot N Juicy and Boiling Crab. While the food here is good overall, it definitely lacks that bold Cajun "kick" that those spots are known for. As someone who enjoys food and drinks and tends to look at things from a critic's perspective, one thing that stood out was the beer presentation. I ordered a 16 oz beer, and while I'm not saying it wasn't a true pint, the glass itself made it feel a bit short. From a consumer's point of view, a taller glass with a tapered bottom might improve the visual appeal especially for visual drinkers like myself. To the untrained eye, it can come off as less than a full pour even if it technically isn't. Flavor-wise, the seafood was cooked well, but the Cajun boil flavor felt muted. The owner was kind enough to let us try a sauce that contained all the flavors, which I appreciated, but it still didn't quite hit the depth or spice level we're used to at other seafood boil spots. It's hard to describe, but the signature Cajun punch just wasn't there. That said, the food is not bad at all just different. If you're expecting something identical to Boiling Crab, Kicking Crab, or Hot N Juicy, be prepared for a lighter, more subtle flavor profile. It's good food, just a different take on Cajun-style seafood. read more

3 stars for yummy flavor seasoning, perfect ambience, good spot close to me, friendly host (not my server, not sure if she has hearing issues, she keeps asking me to repeat things out, that's is very disrespectful and annoying) (I still tipped her good) This place is new to Corona, I'm a big fan of boiling crab when I lived in Long Beach, as I moved here in Corona, Kicking Crab is always the best replacement. Talking about Crab N Spice, their seafoods are okay, ofc, every restaurants won't have fresh catch from water. My family likes their Crab N Spice seasoning, satisfied with non spicy. Their fries are really good with fried calamari. Talking about portion: Very small portion, (combo) disappointed when compared to Boiling/Kicking crabs, their combo of lobster tail/king crab legs/snow crab legs... couple legs& lobster tail are very tiny little meat. Boiling/kicking crabs offer the good generous size of their combos. A bowl of rice at Crab N Spice, $3 came with small cup size, not even full pressed, it's barely up to the top. Opposite from Boiling/Kicking Crabs, they give you a pressed full cup of rice, (large size) .. Crab N Spice doesn't use the good quality mussels, they use the black small mussels, the meats got shrunk after cooked, barely have meat. Boiling/Kicking Crabs use the big green mussels [Perna Viridis] which typically have a good amount of meat. They have a reality high meat-to-shell ratio. If you have a large size of family and want to dine in with Crab N Spice, you might look into $300 bill In order to fill up your stomach. They do have happy hour but not on the weekend. I'm not considering to stop by again even it smells too good right next to my gym (Reign Training Facility) and one of my favorite Medical Spa Beautiful Body & Beyond ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I still choose kicking crab over this. read more

Our group had a large gathering at Crab & Spice in Corona and spent over $3,000 that night. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by a completely avoidable situation that the owner chose to handle in the worst way possible. During service, one of the servers accidentally spilled an entire beer onto one of our guests' business bag, which contained important work materials and a laptop. Accidents happen -- we all understand that -- and to be clear, the servers themselves were genuinely apologetic and tried their best to help. None of this was their fault. What shocked us was the owner's response. Rather than taking responsibility for a mistake that occurred in her establishment, she refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing, dismissed the seriousness of the damage, and offered zero compensation. Not even a partial comp on the bill, a discount, or any gesture to make the situation right for the innocent customer whose property was damaged. Given the amount our party spent and the completely reasonable expectation of professional hospitality, the owner's attitude was deeply disappointing and unprofessional. We left feeling disrespected, unsupported, and honestly stunned by the lack of accountability. This experience made it clear that while the staff works hard, the ownership does not stand behind their guests -- even in clear-cut situations where they should. We will not be returning, and we hope management seriously reconsiders how they treat customers moving forward. Update: Your response--coming a full week after the incident--only proves what we suspected from the start: your disregard for customers isn't an accident, it's a pattern. Let's be very clear. We never questioned the willingness of your staff; they were the only ones who showed any decency that night. The real issue is you--the owner--who chose to hide in the kitchen rather than face a situation that demanded responsibility. That decision alone says everything we need to know about how you run your business. Your refusal to compensate our guest, despite our party spending far more than the "$1800" you conveniently referenced, is embarrassing. Whether it was one check or several tables doesn't change the fact that you made a conscious choice to do nothing. A spilled beer on a bag containing important business items, including a laptop, is not a minor inconvenience--it's a serious mistake. And your complete lack of effort to make it right shows a troubling absence of empathy, professionalism, and basic character. Hiding behind the excuse of "no liability" only highlights your inability to take ownership of your own establishment's mistakes. It's pathetic, frankly. Don't bother responding with another excuse or half-hearted justification. We're done. None of us will ever return to your poor excuse of a restaurant. read more

Crab N Spice - Unappreciative of our business. - Seafood Near Me - Corona, California

First off, the location is great--Crab N Spice is tucked into a nice shopping mall and super easy to spot thanks to the huge sign outside. Whether you're walking in or planning ahead, you can reserve a table easily through Google or OpenTable. We started with the onion rings and they were an instant win. Perfectly breaded, crispy, and paired with a sauce that brought everything together--simple but done right. Then came the main event: the seafood boil. We ordered crawfish and shrimp, and let me tell you--I've never had crawfish come out of the shell so effortlessly. Seriously, it practically slid right out. The flavor? Garlicky, bold, and absolutely addictive. They don't hold back when it comes to seasoning, especially the garlic, and I loved every bite. The shrimp was just as impressive--huge compared to other places I've been, and just like the crawfish, they peeled so easily. No struggle, just pure seafood joy. This spot was a bit of a drive for me, but after this experience, I can confidently say--it's 100% worth it. I'll definitely be coming back. If you're into seafood boils with real flavor and quality, Crab N Spice needs to be on your list. read more

Tried the all-you-can-eat seafood boil ($40 Monday-Friday) and it's such a good deal! You get three appetizers, all the sides, and three seafood choices -- and it's endless. The seafood was super fresh, meaty, and perfectly cooked, which is rare when you're getting this kind of quantity and quality together. Everything had great flavor, and I loved being able to choose my seasoning and spice level. Note: I personally could've gone for a touch more salt, but that's totally preference. Overall, it was delicious and definitely worth checking out if you're craving a seafood boil that actually tastes fresh. read more

Crab N Spice - Seafood Near Me - Corona, California

I've tried the one in vegas and I did not like the flavoring. However, the ayce deal in vegas is way superior. You pay 40$ for ayce and you can pay a flat rate of 30$ for ayce lobster and 40$ for king crab and they even throw one cluster of snow crab. It also comes with all the sides as your choices. This location is retarded. You pay 40$ for ayce and it's 15$ per lobster..12$ per snow crab. You also have a one time charge of 5$ for peeled shrimp and one time charge of headless shrimp for 3$. The vegas location does this also. Now, I can do ayce for 40$ and add on a king crab for 79$ or i can add one whole lobster for 25$. I really wanted the dungenous crab, but market price for one was 67$. That's insane. You can go to costco and buy 2 1/2 dungenous crab for 30$. This location sickens me. I will say this. The crab n spice flavor is the best flavor I've had from any other cajun boil places. I really enjoyed the seasoning but for the price point, I cannot pull myself to come here again after eating at the vegas location. This franchise is all individually owned so the owner sets the price. I gave this place a 2 bc my server was very awesome and friendly. I sat outside the patio bc I had dogs. They only had 2 tables outside so it's quite small. The music was sort of too loud but that was fine. Maybe i should try the Palmdale location. read more

1. The all you can eat advertisement is misleading. Didn't find out until we got there, that the $35 for snow crab was on top of the $45 "all you can eat"...not really a deal. 2. The sauce has overbearing tomato taste...lacked flavor and I got all three mixed thinking it would be a burst of flavor...it was not. read more

We've been waiting to try this spot and it's always busy. For us personally, the service was great, and the place is clean. We both ordered shrimp. The sauce was oily, it was almost like we were eating drippings of butter, garlic & spices. It was tasty but I think it was the buttery/oily taste that bothered us. I guess we are used to an actual sauce. Otherwise it was a good experience, we may try it again read more
