Crab N Spice

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.

Went here for my 50th birthday dinner with my kids. We enjoyed our food. Cody was a great server. Thank you. Only thing that would be nice is even if someone is getting something other that the all you can eat. They should still be able to sit at the same table. Otherwise great first time experience. Ended my birthday with a great meal. Thank you

Crab N Spice offers bold, flavorful seafood in a laid-back, fun setting. If you enjoy Cajun/seafood-boil style dining and don’t mind a lively atmosphere — this is a strong pick in the Corona area. The place is hands-on (seafood boils, shells, sauce, etc.), so expect to get messy in the best way. If you’re going for the AYCE deal, keep in mind it’s offered Monday–Thursday (not always weekends). Family-friendly and fun vibe — casual dining, shareable seafood booms, a place that works for both a night out and a family meal. If you’re in the mood for a seafood spot that delivers bold flavor, lively ambiance, and generous portions, Crab N Spice in Corona is certainly worth a visit.

Had a great experience at Crab N Spice! The service was friendly from the moment we walked in. The staff checked in just the right amount without being overbearing, and you could tell they actually enjoy what they do. I ordered the shrimp bag and it was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. You can really taste the quality, and the spice level was spot on. They also have a surprisingly great selection of craft beers, which is a nice touch and pairs perfectly with the seafood. Prices were more than fair for the quality and portions—definitely a solid value. Highly recommend!

Great food, we waited a little long for the waiter to come to our table at first. However he did explain it was just him in the front. Makes sense for a Tuesday night. The food was extremely delicious. The server and staff were friendly. Clam chowder was amazing. The oysters were ok but overall 9/10 I would definitely go back.

Second time here and the food is still fantastic! Our waiter Cooper is super on top of everything and has excellent customer service. We also request a certain game on tv and our waiter put the game on for us right away. Music is great as well. Very much recommend!

Absolutely Amazing Experience at Crab N Spice! From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The food is absolutely incredible — full of flavor, fresh, and perfectly cooked. You can really tell they take pride in their dishes. The service? 100 out of 10! The staff is super friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. If you have any questions, they explain everything with patience and a smile. Overall, the experience was flawless.

Stopped by for date night with my boo. Born and raised in OC. Boiling crab is our spot but food was good and closer than boiling crab. Better margaritas , beer on tap. 100% recommended 👌 Isaiah was our server. 🤠

This is the best seafood broil. I have EVER had. The owners are Amazing people. The staff exceptional! Friendly, went above and beyond. The food was soooo good, fresh, seasoned so well, so many different options, perfect balance of combinations and varieties!. Including drinks. Great pricing and the atmosphere so relaxing and fun. Even the music was a perfect mix

Our server Isaiah was awesome. He was very informative considering it was our first time here. He checked on us constantly and the seafood was bomb! Will definitely recommend and will be for sure!

My Daughter and I had Amazing service the flavor was Great!!! Music was up to beat and our Servicer Cooper was the Best!

Crab and Spice is hands down one of the best seafood spots I've been to in Corona. Everything we ordered was full of flavor -- the seasoning was on point, the seafood was fresh, and every bite had us wanting more. You can really tell they take pride in the way they cook and serve their food. The whole vibe of the place just makes it easy to sit back, get messy with some crawfish, and enjoy yourself. What really made the night even better was our server, Isaiah. From the moment we sat down, he set the tone with his energy and friendliness. He gave us solid recommendations, checked in often without being overbearing, and made sure we were never waiting on anything. It's rare to find servers who genuinely make you feel taken care of, and Isaiah absolutely did that. He made the whole experience smooth, fun, and memorable. We'll definitely be coming back for more seafood nights at Crab and Spice -- and when we do, we'll be asking for Isaiah!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

6/28 @9:45pm-ish First and LAST time dining here. I don't like to write not-so positive reviews but I truly did not enjoy this restaurant. From service (with one exception) and the amount of food of the Castaway Combo were very disappointing. I've dined at several seafood establishments and know that the Castaway Combo was less than 1 lb for the shrimp, 1 lb for the mussels and only one lobster tail vs. two were served. When I write 'service was disappointing', I am referring to the waiters who kept walking past our table for about 15 minutes and disregarding us. Honestly, I felt discriminated but still had an open-mind about the food. The restaurant is casual and not busy. The ONE exception is the hostess. KUDOS to her for recognizing that we were not approached/ serviced after15 minutes of being seated. We didn't get her name but she did her best to provide the best customer service. I would generally go to a restaurant twice to give them the benefit of the doubt, we all have a bad day/ run but not Crab N Spice - A DEFINITE HARD PASS.

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.

Sauce is amazing, seafood, so fresh service is amazing!!! 10 out of 10 Thank you Michael for the amazing service

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.

I was soooo excited to try this place! I had an evening appointment with friends at Glen Ivy and my friend picked this place to eat. I ordered a pound of crab. $47.99. Nothing great about it. Just crab. I went to Red Lobster on Tuesday and had a pound of crab for $28.99. This place had an option for all you can eat but they charge $12 every time you order crab. I didn't order any sides because none looked good enough to warrant the extra fees. Waitress didn't bring me a bib or wipes with my crab. I had to figure out where to find them since she appeared to be on the only one working the floor. My friend ordered fried shrimp and friends. She asked for extra sauce and they brought a very small cup, maybe 2-3 tablespoons...$6 charge! Another friend had clam chowder and loved it! The coolest thing about this place is the little robot that delivers your drinks. The beignets were also very good! I'd go back and just have beignets. The prices seem a bit too high for this type of restaurant. I only had the crab and left pretty hungry. I proceeded to have a full meal at Glen Ivy.

This place is bomb. I always get the all in spice medium and it's the perfect combination on savory and spicy. Service from cooper was 5 star. Will definitely be back. The place is clean and inviting and perfect for any occasion

First time here. My wife and I really enjoyed the experience. The food was great. We opted for the AYCE, because why not? Everything was flavorful, we will definitely return.

Micheals customer service was exceptional and his "'my pleasures" took me right to chick fil ay.

Cooper is such an awesome server! The music set an amazing mood and definitely an awesome vibe when eating. The food tasted amazing and definitely an awesome spot for my dad's birthday lunch we will be coming back. Thank you, Cooper for the outstanding service and the birthday beignets!!!

$39.99 for an AYCE seafood boil isn't bad at all, but there were quite a few rules that took away from the overall experience. We were a group of four but could only order 3 lbs of seafood to start, even though we all had different preferences (type of seafood, sauce, spice level, etc.). If you're coming with a bigger group and get the AYCE option just be ready to put in back-to-back orders to keep things moving. The appetizers were pretty solid, and the shrimp was definitely the standout - perfectly cooked. The crawfish was frozen but not the worst I've had, and the mussels were just okay. I actually liked that the seasoning wasn't overpowering or too salty, which is usually my biggest concern with seafood boils. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and weren't super attentive, but we managed. Overall, it's a good bang for your buck, especially if you stick to basics like crawfish, shrimp, and mussels.

First time eating here and we enjoyed our scallop shrimp, sausage and potatoes. It was spicy so if you like spicy, you can choose spicy levels! We also had the bread and rice. Everything was yummy with an ice cold Modelo we had Cory! was a great server very polite. Thank you Cory

Food was great good service. Was served by michael great host/server. Would come again good ambiance.

Our first time here and we were so happy!! We sat at the bar and Travis was such a great server and bartender. He was very helpful and friendly. He was super funny and had the best food recommendations for us. We are very grateful and will be returning soon.

OH MY GOD the BEST seafood restaurant ever. I'm not a sea food eater, BUT the food I tried here was super amazing. The sauces, the variety, the flavors I will DEFINITELY be back and I will being my friends and clients here for sure. You won't regret, actually you will make it your favorite spot I RECOMMEND

I had a really good time and I had really good service that was handed to me and my children. The food was great. It was phenomenal. I left a really good tip for them. The ambience was super beautiful and clean. Sometimes I'm a little lazy so I just order it to go DoorDash actually take it to your house.

Got the 1st combo. Wasn't bad!! Came to try the all you can eat but it was only available Monday through Thursday. Disappointed!! Ordered the 1st combo that included shrimp, snow crab, and lobster tail. The Cajun fries were excellent. Fresh and very crispy. The clam chowder was rich and creamy. I liked it! I'd say the least liked food is the seafood, unfortunately. The crab and spice seasoning was a bit too sweet for me. I'm glad I tried it because now I don't need to come back for the AYCE. It is seafood season but it doesn't taste fresh! Good service though!!

Service 10/10 Food 1/10 Ambiance 10/10 The only things that had flavor were the drinks. We ordered a combo which was a bit pricey for how small the bag came out compared to other seafood boil places. We ordered the combo with the "all in" flavoring, and we felt like it had mid flavoring , could barely taste anything at all. And we saw all the seasonings and garlic etc, but it just tasted bland. Not to mention the corn had the texture of chewing paper , and yet again NO FLAVOR. Probably won't be back , better places closer to home. But shout out to our server , He was outstanding.

So good! The workers were nice, the restaurant was very clean, and the food was great. I ate here with two other friends and we ordered the Captain's combo which comes with 1/2 lb of shrimp (or crawfish), a cluster of snow crab legs, a lobster tail, 1 corn, 1 potato, and 2 pc of sausages in mild crab n spice sauce. We ordered another 1 lb of shrimp to add to the combo. It was delicious. They also gave us gloves and a bin which was nice. The combo was great for sharing. We also ordered rice to go with our food. I took off one star because the service was a tiny bit slow. At first, they forgot to give us the crab legs and lobster tail. They ended up giving it to us. Then, when we realized we might need to order more shrimp, I ordered one more lb and they didn't serve it until waaaay later when everyone was already done. So we ended up taking it home. Took a while to get the check and take home boxes too. Other than that, this place is great.

The service at this restaurant was excellent and our waiter was very kind, attentive, and made the dining experience enjoyable. Unfortunately, after our visit, both my friend and I became sick with food poisoning symptoms from the seafood boil we ate. While I truly appreciated the hospitality and the friendliness of the staff, the food safety concerns were very disappointing. I hope management addresses this so that future customers can enjoy the great service without the risk of getting sick.

Food is amazing! Taste surpasses kickin krab and Boil Daddy a must for seafood lovers. We had the lemon garlic sauce and ordered side crab&spice mild sauce for extra dippin and our main entree was sea monster feast! We are definetly coming back for crabalicious. Geovanna was our server and she was excellent and knowledgable about her reconmendations and the nuttella beignets was the cherry on top.

Very flavorful, great customer service. We got the lemon pepper wings, fries, 1 lbs of shrimp of lemon garlic flavor and 1 lb of Cajun. Isaiah took good care of us, was very attentive. This was our first time here and definitely won't be our last.

We come here often and service is never bad! Michael was outstanding and even better the michaladas he made were delicious! The all you can eat is the way to go!

Seafood was pretty decent. Good flavor. But Michael was a great server. Thanks again for a great experience

Me and my family tried Crab N Spice for the first time today and we give it 5 stars. The dinning area is extremely clean and inviting not to mention the music was on point the entire time. The customer service was top tier from the server Cooper. If you are ever in the Corona area stop in and ask for Cooper . Did I mention they have a $39.99 all you can eat menu Monday-Thursday.

New seafood spot in Corona, CA located at the Shops at Dos Lagos. I ordered Cajun Pasta which included only 3 shrimps for $7.99. I also ordered Garlic Noodles $8.00. The portion size for both entrees were plentiful. The price was reasonable. If you want more than 3 shrimps in your Cajun Pasta you could probably request more for an added cost. I arrived at 12:30pm and there only 4 other customers so my to-go order was ready within 10 mins. The place is nicely decorated & clean. There's plenty of inside seating and some outside seating.

Great first time experience . Fast service Pleasant service Great flavors Travis was great !

clam chowder was great! also got the CNC lemon pepper shrimp with a few addons. So FULL!

Michael was amazing! Got us our food fast and was really great all around. Came by a few times to make sure we were okay! Can't beat his service! Thank you Michael for make date night great! Also food was so good and fresh!

Heard about this place opening nearby and had to try! Especially considering its seafood AYCE, it caught my attention immediately. Great flavors and quality at a reasonable AYCE price for what it is, landing this a fair 4/5 Food (8/10) Great selection for the (cheaper) AYCE menu, we went with the "All in" seasoning with shrimp and crawfish and some extras which was ok in terms of flavor. Next time would have just gotten the "crab n spice" seasoning alone. (also crab/lobster was a hefty premium menu price more) Server set us up with a whole cup of the crab n spice medium sauce to use as a dip, and it was worth every calorie. Shrimp were large, and juicy from the seasoning, however the crawfish still lacked a bit on flavor/freshness even with the dip. The cajun fries were crispy/well seasoned and the lemon pepper wings honestly are phenomenal - loaded with flavor and fell off the bone. had to get 2 baskets. Service (9/10) Came in around 1pm on a Wednesday, got seated quickly and got great service. Server gave us a detailed run down of the menu, got us everything we needed, was right on time for a second round and even had a cool robot server deliver our drinks. Nice touch with the complementary gloves, bibs, and wet wipes. Ambiance (7/10) Interior decor and even the front sign are cool, great theming on point for what you'd expect from a seafood spot. Wasn't a fan of the booths sharing opposite sides of the same bench, i could feel the people behind me moving and it moved my bench too. Not a huge deal.

It's kool....just watch what you order...... it gets pricey. Flavors ok.. not all that.

Isaiah was a great server! super nice and respectful. the food was amazing as well the vibe was immaculate!

If you're looking for an ayce seafood Boil spot, It was a wonderful experience here! The ambiance is nice and open with great music I was vibing with the whole time, friendly and tentative staff, and last but not least the food is amazing, fresh quality seafood and the sides are hot and crispy!

So delicious! And great service! Also got Cajun fries Fried green Beans And onion right! It was all fresh Coming again very soon

Crab and spice was Ok. Very clean, we went during a Saturday afternoon and got seated right away. service was a bit slow for it not being busy, but it was OK. Lack of flavor in the spice mix. would I go back? Probably not. However it wasn't the worse seafood boil place I've been. Just Alright.

Maya our server was very attentive and sweet. Our drinks and meals came out fast. The ambiance was nice, the usual seafood boil style. We ordered the special $139.99 for crab, lobster and 3lbs choice of seafood, a side of garlic noodles and some calamari. For the price the portions were very small and taste was bland. The crawfish were really small and they were frozen. We even ordered the flight of sauces and it had no flavor.

I Enjoyed the food and the service. First time here. Restaurant was clean, I like the wash station too. Michael was great!

The wait wasnt the worst here on a sunday but it was packed. The seafood was pretty fresh, although the lobster was pretty overcooked. Otherwise, the feast was pretty great. We also added crab fries and garlic noodles and added a few add-ons. Maya was our waitress and five stars to her! She was great, and our toddler liked her too!

Service was good and so was the food ! the crab fries were absolutely amazing. i got the cns lemon garlic and my man got the regular crab n spice. definitely recommend. Payed 160$ for all.

Enjoyed a Sunday meal at Crab & Spice. Service was phenomenal compliments of Travis. He was hospital and very knowledgeable of the menu. All his suggestions were on point! Would come back and do the Pirates Choice 10x over. Thanks Travis!
