    Ordered the pirates choice, 1lb no spice and peeled for the kids. Other two pounds ordered were spicy and with shell, also ordered one pound of crab legs. Order came in with all three pounds spicy and whole. I brought the mistake up to the staff, they made the pound of shrimp no spice and peeled. When the bill came they charged for all three pounds and crab legs as peeled which is 3.50 extra each pound, and French bread that we did not order nor receive, as well as a 20% service fee for a party of five one of them being a 9 month old. This place will rob you. I Will never go back.

    Crab N Spice is hands down one of the best seafood boil spots around. The seafood is fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Their sauces are amazing — rich, flavorful, and customizable to your spice level. The portions are generous, and every bag comes out packed with flavor. The staff is friendly, quick, and always makes sure you’re taken care of. Whether you’re craving shrimp, crab, or a full seafood feast, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a great seafood boil!

    I've been to several Cajun Style seafood restaurants. Some are big and some small. This one is located in an outlet mall, but the quality was spot on. Loved it!

    We hadn’t had cab and spice in a long time. Food was as good as I remember, we enjoyed every bite. They only thing that I think should be addressed was the meal that feed two persons only has one potato and one corn. I was sorry to that there noodles were no longer on the menu, they were delicious.
