Cindy, Natalie, luis and Selene were amazing! This food was fire and the whole experience reminded me of Boiling crab Westminster OG! So it's the best of the west!

Proof that we paid for peeled shrimp!

See all

This place is in the food lab. There are plenty of tables and its a nice vibe with the bars right…read morenext to me and other food options. This place is reasonably priced and you serve yourself. No hassle at all. I can just get ny own drinks at the soda machine and I don't need a server! I got 1lb shrimp with sausage, potatoes, and corn. I think the flavor is a tiny bit lacking, but the sausages was amazing! It was yummy for it being the first time eating here. I find the cajun here could be more spicy, more lemony, and definitely more salty, but its still really enjoyable to eat!

Not what I was expecting, but hey, I'm really happy I tried this place because if I knew what I was…read moregetting - I probably wouldn't have. You're probably like... what? OK: I was in the area and had a craving for tacos. I wanted a place I could get to on food, and was originally drawn to The Food Lab to another place. I happened to be walking by Shrimp Shack and noticed they had chicken tacos on the menu, so I figured hey, I like Cajun and I like tacos, so why not. I was sooooo hungry at the time, so it was probably me that misread, but I didn't realize they were going to be chicken tenders on tortillas. And I didn't think the Cajun sauce was going to be on top, I thought it was going to be marinated. "Huh.... OK... what is this?" Don't let looks fool you - this is a bomb of flavors that were SO GOOD. The Cole slaw plus the chicken plus the pickles (which I ate separately) plus the Cajun sauce.. it all WORKS. Brilliantly. What a great lunch! And it let me pleasantly full. When you order, you're given a pager that works throughout the whole Food Lab. It took about ~12 minutes for my food, but everything is fresh and made to order. They have their own seating (I think it was one table and then a bar of seats), or you can eat at the common tables in the Food Lab. Definitely worth a stop in! 2026: 9/100

Crab N Spice delivered excellent customer service from start to finish. My brother brought us here…read morefor 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!

Its been a while since I've been to a seafood boil spot, so I decided to give Crab N Spice a try…read more 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.

We also order one serving of rice to split between me and my bf. The total came out to around $80 with tip included, which felt pretty reasonable for the amount of seafood we got. Service was very attentive. They kept refilling our water, clearing our buckets, and checking in to make sure everything was good throughout the meal. We got the Cajun spice mild and the sauce was amazing, especially with the rice. It was very flavorful and comforting. The shrimp were definitely the highlight because they soak up the sauce really well. The mussels and crawfish were good, but the meat was a bit smaller and seemed like it might be frozen. If you are ordering, I would recommend going for the shrimp set because it pairs the best with the sauce. Overall a really enjoyable meal and a fun place for a casual date night.

Warning, they do not answer their phone, but take online orders only using the Toast app. I had to use Google to find the link, new address, and place my order. I am unsure if this, the original Riverside location on Riverwalk Pkwy, is closed. I do not live near the original to confirm one way or another, however months ago the owner had said they were closing. The menu has pretty much remained the same.

Pro Tip: Open Thursday through Sunday, 1-7pm only…read more Well, this turned into a pleasant surprise. I had no idea there were any restaurants in this area, much less a Hampton Inn lurking nearby. It was making a delivery to Inn that led to spotting this Soul food spot. Inside it's a vibrant, inviting yellow themed front space and dining room. Very conducive to good moods. I decided that the mini combo, with one side and cornbread, was a good value at $13.99, whereas the full combo adds a second side and costs $17.99. Lots of choices, including several styles of chicken, the smothered pork chops both sounded, and looked good. I saw a plate being assembled before I ordered. And the oxtail also appealed. Future trips will expand the experience. Ultimately, it was the pot roast that I ordered, with rice (or not if you prefer), and the greens rounded out the side choice. I proceeded to devour the entire meal in short order. The pot roast was amazing. Killer gravy, melt in the mouth tenderness, and the greens were another pleasant surprise. Hard to say what I tasted other than absolute goodness! Well done, and the host and her assistant were also warm and friendly. Über Eats, and possibly Doordash can deliver to your door.
