Fiery Crab Seafood Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Brea

I walked in with my friend. I looked at the atmosphere of coastal sea vibes with a nice tiled counter and floors. Our server came up and we immediately got seated. The tables had a cloth that was paper like so that the actual table wouldn't get dirty, Which was a very smart idea, due to it being a seafood restaurant. I looked at the shark hanging from a ceiling. A statue of Jack sparrow. And all the other trinkets of ocean vibes. Pretty pretty good. I look at the menu and spit a variety of shellfish and seafood to choose from.. which is outstanding because I like to try new things. I got a blue crab bucket which had four small blue crabs with great flavor,with a side of corn, sausage, and baseball sized cut in half potatoes..... I mean what else do you need besides some napkins and a drink. I enjoy the nice seasoning on my meal and my friend enjoys his. We ask to order desert. The only desert there which were beignets. Now I've had beignets before, but none like these. These are the holy Grail for beignets fans. They're hot, fresh, nice and not greasy. They're covered in mountains of powdered sugar. Nice. I literally was speechless. I finished them with my friend, he had the same reaction I had. I asked for the bill and looked at it with a jaw open. I literally couldn't believe how great of a price it was for two people plus dessert. I was thinking to myself (this is impossible!) I was so shocked I gave them a very nice tip in return .I thanked them and used their very fancy restroom and left in bliss. I will be returning to the fiery crab 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...

Really fun and modern decor but that was where the fun ended. We ordered 1 pound of head ON shrimp and 1 pound of crap legs and fried pickles We received onion rings instead of pickles, the shrimp came back peeled. The crap legs were drowned in butter with all the salt in the ocean. Server was polite but very dismissive and lacked attention to detail. Great place for a beer after work during happy hour I recommend getting a plate of plate white rice to avoid the salt intake. Bummer because we came in hungry and ready to eat and tip well as we always do whenever we go out. Instead we left hungry disappointed and I think my blood pressure spiked due to the sodium intake halfway through the meal.

Atmosphere is nice but this Cajun food has no soul. Luckily they did give a slight discount as we sent 85 percent of the food back. It was just not edible. So we payed for nothing, left disappointed and we're still hungry.

Maybe carry a pen and note pad for your customers orders so they receive what was...
