Fiery Crab Seafood Restaurant and Bar

Fiery Crab's garlic butter sauce should be illegal. It’s THAT good

Best seafood boil spot here! Great service.

Casual, family-friendly seafood chain restaurant next to Lazy Dog Restaurant - Fiery Crab opened recently and replaced Islands. They are located in a small lot across from the Brea Mall, right off the 57. Seating is available via bar, standard tables, and booths. Decor and furnishings are a little unique - they've got some black and blue, club-like lights mixed with a nautical theme with their very own Jack Sparrow statue! They also offer a fair amount of parking via the shared plaza lot.

We came on Saturday for a late lunch and this place was empty. Food and service were alright and portions were large. It's seafood so prices were on the higher end.

Overall, everything was OK but we weren't blown away.

They've spent a lot of money on the place and it looks great. It was extremely slow and empty compared to the Lazy Dog next door. The service was very good and the food wasn't bad. The plastic containers for sauces were a bit tacky and definitely not environmentally friendly if you're bothered by that. Overall, it wasn't bad, but I doubt I'd go back.

My husband LOVES seafood. Went in to try it out and very impressed. I rate the food a 4 because I don't LOVE seafood and they didn't have many other options but what I had was delicious and we had great service. It's got a fun vibe. Definitely need to try it out if you like seafood. They have non spicy options also

Food was absolutely delicious!!!! Great service and food came out fairly quickly so me and my husband didn't have to wait long even on a busy day. Employees have such a great positive attitude and are super helpful. When my husband called to check pricing the employee was so kind and reasonable. Everything to food to service to atmosphere just keeps bringing us back and we absolutely love it!

Kid-friendliness: Such a great environment with cool displays and decorations for kids to enjoy while they eat.

Just left Fiery Crab and let me tell you, it exceeded all my expectations! My husband had been raving about it, and I’m so glad we finally went. It’s the perfect place to celebrate anything – birthdays, graduations, you name it.

Fire! Just fire! Large portions served with appetizers, drinks and main courses! We ordered two appetizers at a very reasonable price. We were surprised at the quantity in each order. Almost couldn't finish them. Then we each ordered fried shrimp baskets! Wow! Really large fried shrimp! Crab salad that comes with basket was also amazing! Pro tip... Skip the three separate French fry choices and order the Fried Rice! Yes! You heard me.... Fried Rice! I would go back just to eat that side!

Wish I had taken photos for you guys. Next time!

My wife and I both ordered an appetizer and a basket and our bill was under $40.00.

We'll be back soon!!!

My family and I just had an amazing dinner here. The food was delicious and our server Patrick was great! We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

I recently visited Fiery Crab on a busy Sunday afternoon, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is lively and fun, with ocean-themed decor that gives off a playful fisherman and pirate vibe. The restaurant is spotless and modern, making it perfect for families and kids—definitely a great place to bring the whole crew.

The star of the show is, of course, the seafood! Fiery Crab brings the bold flavors of New Orleans to life with its Cajun, Creole, and soul food-inspired seafood boils. If you’re familiar with places like Boiling Crab, you’ll feel right at home. The menu is extensive, but our server did an excellent job walking us through it and explaining the different flavors and spice levels available. The service was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable—definitely a highlight of the visit.

I tried the fried catfish, oysters, sweet potato fries, and crab, and everything was absolutely delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly. The variety of spices and sauces allows you to customize your meal to your liking, whether you want something mild or extra spicy.

Fiery Crab also offers plenty of weekly and daily specials, which makes it easy to try something new without breaking the bank. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions you get. Overall, this is a casual, family-friendly spot that delivers great food, a fun environment, and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back!

My family had a birthday party for my mother who turned the big 95 years old. Oh my goodness. I'm a bougie seafood eater and being for the new Orleans. This place was lit. I didn't eat all my food so I took it home for the next day and the aroma that came from the box. Well I don't eat cold fries but I can't stop. ???? so I called the Fiery Crab and spoke with the owner David and express how happy I was with the meal and how Matt was excellent guy. I'll be back in my Schwarzenegger voice.
