From the moment I stepped into The Flaming Crab in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, I knew I was in for a treat. The restaurant welcomes you with its tasteful and lively marine decor, blending the excitement of the high seas with a contemporary design that's both eye-catching and comfortable. The atmosphere is charged with an appropriate high energy, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners and special occasions.The interior is spacious and comfortable, boasting plenty of seating for groups of all sizes, with the added bonus of many TVs to catch a game or news. But what truly set my experience apart was our server, Ish. Ish was the epitome of what you look for in a server - positive, upbeat, informative, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His enthusiasm for the restaurant's offerings was contagious, making our dining experience exceptionally positive.Now, let's talk about the food because, oh, was it excellent! We dove headfirst into the seafood boil, a specialty of The Flaming Crab, and it did not disappoint. The boil was a delightful medley of flavors, featuring the freshest seafood, corn on the cob, potatoes, and a blend of spices that was both invigorating and utterly delicious. Each bite was a testament to the care and quality the kitchen puts into their dishes.But The Flaming Crab doesn't stop at seafood. We also tried the chicken wings and calamari, which were just as tasty and well-prepared as the boil. It's clear the menu is thoughtfully designed to cater to a wide variety of tastes, ensuring there's something for everyone, whether you're a seafood aficionado or in the mood for something a bit more traditional.Everything we ordered seemed to be made fresh, presented with care, and tasted wonderful. The restaurant even has a hand washing station for guests, which is a thoughtful touch, especially after indulging in a hands-on seafood feast. And to top it all off, the prices were reasonable, offering great value for the quality of food and service received.In conclusion, if you're a seafood lover or just in search of a lively and enjoyable dining experience in Wilkes-Barre, The Flaming Crab is a must-visit. Be sure to ask for Ish; his service truly makes a great meal an unforgettable one. Highly recommended!

Today was our first visit to The Flaming Crab - Wilkes Barre. I was told to "not look at the prices. If I do that, I shouldn't even go." Well, I looked at the prices & still went, ordered & the food was fantastic. We weren't sure what to expect, but our server was awesome (thank you Masatah) & we had a great experience. The seafood was fresh & cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was pretty cool & I think we'll go again. And bring our friends. Great place!

The service here was incredible, which is a make or break on dining out. Our server Jas was on point during our entire visit and made for a better experience than expected. The food was really good. Decor and seating is nice. Several large tv’s with a football game on. Definitely a sports bar type atmosphere. Our least favorite part was the repetitive hip-hop/strip club type music, which isn’t a great atmosphere in which to enjoy an expensive dinner. Based on the service and food, we would definitely recommend.
