    This is the best seafood boil I have ever had. I loved the flavor from the Kick'n style flavor. The crawfish was also very big and had lots of meat. I liked the shrimp and potato and corn a lot, definitely worth the additional cost. The sausage was alright, I personally did not think its necessary. The servers were really nice and brought us whatever we needed. Lovely restaurant!

    Sauce is buttery and sweet, great with seafood and corn. The garlic noodle is good as well. Nice service! Very basic restaurant, nothing crazy.

    This is probably the third time I've been to Kicking Crab within the last two months and I can't complain. My usual order is the crawfish with Kickin' Style, with the spicy spice level. I've been pleasantly surprised by the decent size of their crawfish this season, especially considering how hard they've been to find elsewhere. The oysters have also been consistently good-sized during my recent visits. I've experienced varying crowd levels here; weekdays tend to be less busy, but last Saturday had a line out the door, so i would recommend to come prepared for a wait. Despite the crowds, the ample seating helps accommodate everyone, although the noise level can escalate with the lively atmosphere of people enjoying each other's company.

    The aesthetics were nothing special. It was clean and seating was adequate. Upon entering there is a sign that says what to be seated. No one comes to seat you. They stand behind the counter and wave to you then tell you to find a seat. Ok that's fine. The servers are friendly enough but don't really explain how things work so you have to figure it out yourself. Again that's fine. The food is really good. I had crab legs and mussels and they were perfect. You are supposed to dump the bag onto the table which is covered with a disposable covering. I chose not to do that because I knew I wouldn't eat it all and I didn't want the mess. I ended up using my husband's empty plate for my shells. My husband had the shrimp basket and he really enjoyed it as well. I would go back for the crab legs. We spent about $118 for the two meals and two drinks and tip.

    Crawfish is so expensive now due to limited supplies in the market. Apparently the drought is killing the breeding. A pound of crawfish was $15.99 when I came in. Also had a pound of clams and they were filling enough. I've frequent their Carrollton location before and it's consistent in recipe. Taste great

    Shrimp taco

    Kickin Crab is actually my go to spot and one of the best seafood spots in terms of seasoning but I went there yesterday and I felt cheated. I ordered a pound of shrimp and it didn't feel like a pound of shrimp at all and this is my go to order normally. I also ordered a taco and it kind of looked like it was thrown together and not made with love which was very disappointing because it wasn't for me. The seasoning was great per usual but the service and portion was not it this time, I hope they make it up.

    Supposed to be catfish. It's not. Absolutely not.

    I went here today because I Googled "best catfish near me", and this popped up. I go in, check out the menu, and don't see catfish. I ask the girl at the counter if they had any, and she says, "Yes, we do. It's just not on the menu. It's listed under Fish n Fries." I should've left then - do you, or don't you have catfish, sis? So I look at the menu and see that the fish in the Fish n Fries basket is listed as "white fish". I ask her again, if she's sure this is catfish, and she says "Yes. I'm sure". She tells me that they are filets, but they are about the size of chicken tenders. That didn't make sense, but I just figured that they were taking a filet and cutting it in half. Fine. I ordered the fish basket and corn to-go. I get home and open up my food. No ma'am, absolutely not - that was NOT catfish. It was maybe swai or the white fish that was listed on the menu, and it was ONE piece of fish, chopped in four pieces. Never seen chicken tenders that looked like squares. For $10, please do better. And sis, please learn the menu if you're going to be advising customers on the menu. I'm giving two stars because the corn in the Louisiana seasoning was DELISH.

    Gumbo - skip it

    Skip the gumbo - lacks flavor. Cajun fries - super skinny, crispy with a little spice. They were good. Kickin Wings - average wings, nothing exciting. Garlic noodles - they were garlic noodles. Heavy on the butter. We shared a combo #3: Crawfish were tasty. Shrimp were okay, a little difficult to peel but flavor was good. Snow crab legs were better than I expected, they were cooked okay. The difficulty is the kickin spice we opted for didn't really compliment the crawfish, but more favored the shrimp. And trying to crack crabs legs proved difficult because there's butter and spice coating them. Corn was surprisingly okay. Sausage was just okay. It ain't no Goldie's. But, it's Cajun not BBQ. It's a pretty small place - maybe 20 tables. And it was packed on a Sunday night about 7:30.

    Mussels
    Rhys O.

    We expected this place to be good, but we were completely wowed by the flavor of everything we had! Oysters bigger than we've ever seen, an interesting but tasty take on Cajun edamame, and then some of the tastiest mussels we've ever eaten in a sauce so rich in flavor! Definitely recommend the Kickin' Style sauce for any bag item!

    Shrimp, sausage, corn, & eggs

    We choose to make our boil instead of going for the combo. It reached about $20 per each one but it was only because the crawfish and shrimp were a $11 a lb. special. Meaning they are at market price so it may vary. Our choice of sauces: Cajun & spicy for the crawfish boil Cajun & spicy spicy for the shrimp boil It was so delicious!!! I can't wait to go back and try the kickin sauce on some crab legs with a side of their gumbo! The service went up and beyond. The environment was clean and Covid19 safe for dining in.

    Not impressed with this place at all. First time here with some frequent customers . My thing is always about the sauce . We ordered the hottest sauce for the crawfish and it tasted like normal . We asked for the spiciest sauce they have on side and it still taste like mild sauce . We were very disappointed they couldn't provide anything spicy. Food was mediocre and nothing unique . Never a big fan of the gulf coast oysters . Seems like all these crawfish place have only one selection of oysters which is the nasty gulf coast. Snow crab and fries was also mediocre . Services was decent.

    Dungeness crab!

    Same level as boiling crab without the chaos. Sauce might even be better but its tough to say. They need more waiters.

The food was absolutely delicious and the ambiance was wonderful and perfect for a catch up with my friend: warm, inviting, and perfect service! The burrata salad was outstanding, and the pasta was equally impressive. We also shared the bread pudding for dessert, which was incredible and the perfect ending to the evening. The lobster dishes and wine selection were excellent as well. What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service: attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming without ever being intrusive. To top it all off, our entire dinner came to under $100, which felt like tremendous value for the quality of the food and experience. I only wish we had a location in Los Angeles. Highly recommended!

This location felt like I was inside a fancy boat To start - the most unique and delicious chips I've ever had. I'm coming back first and foremost for the chips! Haven't seen chips this full of flavor before The prickly pear refresher was amazing - just mint, lemon, soda and prickly pear puree? This is one I'm going to make at home The same chips are used for the tuna dip but I'd like to note their pickled jalapeno - that was fire. So much flavor here Shrimp salad was great too, I enjoyed how balanced the dish was The baked alaska was a mix of chocolate and strawberry on the inside - everything was done from scratch. One recommendation is to add a layer between the ice cream and marshmallow is possible The black wagyu gold something tomahawk was divine - maybe better than any bbq I've been to. Nothing was spared here I also got the key lime pie, it was more grainy than I expected and the key lime was mostly in the reduction (?) to be poured on Overall, tomahawk, crackers, prickly pear drink (forgot to mention crab cake) were my favorites Staff was friendly too!

Overall, it's a spot I keep coming back to whenever I'm craving great seafood.
