One of the things I missed most about living in the South was the food. I always forget how much I miss Cajun cooking, especially the crawdad and crab boils. Tasty tasty tasty! The only disappointment was the Fried Oysters, which were small, thin, and thus hard and rubbery. Fried oysters practically require juicy, plump oysters so that they stay soft and gooey, even while being fried on the outside. My wife and I'll be back for sure! read more

Both times we have gone, the crab legs have been easy to open, due to being cooked to perfection and very fresh. Our serves were very kind and took our orders quickly and we received our food in just a few minutes. This is my husbands and I's new favorite place to get crab legs! read more

Super enjoyed this place! The food was delicious and the dining area was awesome. Quick friendly service. I'll be here again in the near future! read more

I ordered takeout yesterday. Got the combo#1 with 1/2 lb heads-on shrimp, 1/2 lb crawfish, 1/2 lb mussells, corn, potatoes, and sausage. All tossed in medium-spice Cajun sauce. It was so, so delicious! My stomach was full after eating it! I've also discovered that I'm not a big fan of crawfish (this was my first time), so I'll replace it next time. read more

Okay, this place was really good. We can in pretty close to closing time, but they still served us:) The waiter was super friendly and made us feel super comfortable. We all got the #1 and they brought it out pretty quickly! I like how the food was hot and fresh. The mussels were AMAZING and were probably my favorite out of the whole bag. The corn and the shrimp were also super tasty. I couldn't even finish the whole bag and had to take it home, but I felt so full from what I had eaten. The thing I liked the most was that even though it was filling..I didn't feel bloated. I definitely would go back:) read more

Honestly my husband and I were kind of disappointed with this place. :( We love Cajun food and so we decided to have a date night here. We got the crawfish and shrimp in a bag with the potatoes, corn & sausage. The crawfish wasn't very good, sort of dry. The shrimp were okay, nothing special. The best part was probably the seasoning. We also got the fried calamari and that was nothing special at all we didn't even finish ours. The batter was bland. The service was a bit awkward. Our entree came out before our salad & calamari. Everything just wasn't very impressive. Bummed about this being that we live so close to a seafood restaurant! Probably won't return. :( read more

Delicious food and great service for our large group. Fun atmosphere too! Very accommodating staff.

We came to this place about 2 weeks ago it was 3 of us total the place from the inside is really nice! The server that served us was really kind, she was good at her job. The food we ordered the biggest thing you could get cost us about 70 dollars total but the amount of food we got was good for the price of seafood especially. We got a mix up of all the sauces they had and it turned to be really delicious. read more

Fantastic seafood, served in a fun way. It's been a while since I had seafood on the gulf, but this tasted just like the stuff I used to get in Texas and Florida. Loved the flavor and getting messy with it. Our server U.G. walked us through the process and was very helpful. The garlic bread was fantastic, too. read more

I love the shrimp and Cajun fries but the only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is the fact that EVERY TIME I call in I can't really understand what the guy is saying :( read more

This post is more in reference to service rather than food, however, don't get me wrong the food was PHENOMENAL. Yet, what really stood out to me was the service we received. Our waitress, Nadia, was incredibly attentive, thorough, and efficient. She constantly anticipated any needs we may have had before we had them. She was hard working and respectful. I can't recommend this experience enough! I also appreciated the wine with my crab. Worth every penny! read more

Wow.....the seafood was delicious . We ordered #3 enough for 3 people. Very happy the waiter very friendly and polite. We are very happy eating at the cajun Kicking good food good people. Satisfied read more

Shrimp lovers, this is your place!!! Do you remember in Forest Gump when Bubba starts to name all kinds of Shrimp dishes? That's what this place reminds me of. Edgar, our server was a A+, he even helped my husband with his bib read more

The food is average. The server is very service friendly. The calamari and soft shell crap had too much batter. The shrimps are over cooked.

Horrid. One word to describe the setting, the service and the food. We spent over $120 and the food was greasy, tasteless and way over-priced for what we received. Our two bags were nasty and we'd love a refund, an apology, and something for our sick stomachs after we got home. Just horrid!!! Never go there hungry or wanting something affordable and yummy. The opposite is what you will get!!!!! read more

This restaurant was such a pleasant surprise! We went not knowing what to expect - the location has changed hands many times - but the joint was jumping and the food was delicious. So much food! I love what they've done with the place inside, it really is the only one of its kind in Utah Valley. The Kickin' Cajun seasoning was spicy, even with the mild request, but still so delicious. We can't wait to go back with friends! read more

Incredibly good seafood. Sauces were very flavorful. Wait staff was nice, good relaxing atmosphere.

Their crawfish boil is oh so delicious. The flavor is killer and the best I've had yet. On the other hand, I also tried their deepfried catfish (swai fish) and it pales in comparison to previous experiences. No kidding though, this is the best in bag boil I've ever had, the flavor is so enveloping and the sausage is mouthwatering and gosh I wish I had more money to come here more often! Kinda on the steeper end money wise for some of their items, but has a decent number of cheap options that make it well worth the visit. read more

Finally! Decent seafood in Utah County? Never thought it'd happen. Got the fried shrimp po boy to go. Will be back. read more

I was kind of skeptical of this place but REALLY wanted to try it... FINALLY!!! Utah has an amazing seafood scene! This place is amazing! The sausage is so good, the corn, potatoes, sides, and most of all seafood! They legit cook the seafood so perfectly it just falls out of its shell in whole pieces, I chose medium heat and "Kick'n Style" sauce and it's lip smacking goodness! It's garlicy and buttery and good lemon in there. Not to spicy or dull. I can't believe how much they give you too. It makes any price you pay SO FREAKING WORTH IT! I've been waiting for a place like this and it's unbelievably good quality. I just want to give a shout out the the people that serve this quality and customer service and the company as a whole and say thank you for your efforts and bringing this to us!! I will keep recommending to everyone for a fun date night! This is a must go kind of place!! (We did a #4. With snow crab, mussels, crawfish, and shrimp that came with corn, potatoes, and sausage. Then we did the 6pc oysters and calamari.) It's all to die for! Thank you!! read more

We are so happy went came to Kickin Seafood. The restaurant is clean and has such a fun atmosphere. Edgar was so friendly, polite, and happy to be there. When we come back, we will ask specifically to have him as our waiter again. The calamari is the best calamari we have had in years, and all of the food came out in a timely manner. We will definitely be coming back! This place is top notch Cajun cuisine. read more

We have been her multiple times. The food has always been very good. We love having different styles and types of food to try and this is a fun experience. The service here is always wonderful. Our servers have always been so helpful and attentive to us without being overbearing. We will definitely continue to eat here. read more

Loved loved LOVED our waiter Edgar! He made the whole experience amazing! And helped us choose what would be best for our party based on taste and what we liked. read more

Glad that Provo/Orem has this type of restaurant. Great crab, shrimped, crawfish, sausage and mussels. It was all very good. This place was every bit as good as the similiar type restaurants that I go to on the coasts. read more

Honestly this is the worse place for seafood in Utah. Yeah, I get that it's a desert but this place is really bad. I went to the location in Orem and ordered the gumbo. It came in a styrofoam to go container, with a plastic spoon (not something you'd expect from a expensive place). And lacked any resemblance if flavor. I'd be surprised if it had 5 pieces of meet. (the pieces it did have were microscopic). Friend ordered shrimp Po Boy that was absolutely disgusting. Shrimp was fried with SKIN still on it. Would never recommend or come back here. read more

We ate here for the first time and we were not disappointed. We got the combo with shrimp, crayfish, and mussels. All were delicious. The sauce they cook it in is so flavorful. The two servers were running their tails off, but were friendly and attentive. We will be back! read more

My favorite seafood place! You get so much seafood for a decent price, and it's delicious! The staff is always so great every time we go.

Best food in utah county hands down. I dont even like seafood and its all i can think about.

We absolutely loved our dining experience here! Such a fun and different meal but the atmosphere was awesome, the service exceptional and the taste of everything blew us away! We had a large group and split a couple of their combo meals (mild spice, with the Kickin sauce as the flavor) and it was more than enough food for the 7 of us (we did get a few salads and some Cajun fries as well). Don't wear super nice clothes because you most likely get messy--even wearing gloves and bibs! But that was our favorite part of the experience! We will definitely be back soon and will definitely be recommending this to everyone we know! read more

The food is ok will be back! I mean since we live around mountains ‍ I didn't expect the food will be FANTASTIC . I ordered Cajun combo for me and my friend only $20 and sweet potato fries $4. Quite a lot for food for two of us already! The only thing I wish that different is they use actual sausages instead of hotdogs! read more

This place is so good, great service, good seafood, their sauce choice is amazing, they make it spicy if you request it. Good place to bring the family read more

The server was really nice and attentive, but unfortunately that's where the good stops. I have 2 stars because she was great. I ordered the shrimp boil bag without the head. The shrimp are. It cleaned so the vein is still in them. These are large shrimp so the vein is prominent and leaves the shrimp tasting like gritty dirt. It was terrible. I requested some shrimp cocktail sauce in an attempt to cover up the gross flavor of eating shrimp poop, but it was inedible. It was potent, primarily comprised of vinegar and horseradish. It made my nose and throat burn and not in a yummy spicy food kind of way. More like a drank a bottle of vinegar way. My husband had the shrimp sandwich and said it was good. I'm far from a Karen, but what happened next is really why I'm posting this review. I told my sweet waitress that the cocktail sauce was inedible (believe me I had my husband tried it who is not picky at all, and even he gagged) and that the shrimp weren't cleaned and weren't good. She went and spoke with her manager who she said was going to come over. Well he never did, but instead sent the poor girl back to tell me that he wasn't going to do anything and it was too bad, that's just how it is. I told her I wasn't going to pay for it, since she had already taken my plate back to the kitchen, and she said her boss told her I had to. I asked her to send her boss over to talk to me, which I could see her requesting from across the restaurant, but he was just yelling at her. He told her that I needed to go over to him (on the other side of the restaurant where there were no people so he could more than likely tell me to stick it), I refused and told her he was welcome to walk over to our table, but that I was not paying. I felt bad for her and made sure I was discreet so no one around knew what was going on. I was appalled by this manager (probably the owner) arguing with me via his staff because he was a coward and didn't want to do it himself. She needed up not charging me for my food, and I tipped her 20% of what the bill would have been with my food plus some, to show my appreciation to her in a difficult situation. I wouldn't recommend this place based on management. I also found it really strange that their we're dishes like lo Mein and pot stickers at a Cajun seafood restaurant. I think there's a bit of an identity crisis happening with what type of restaurant it is supposed to be. read more

Everything here tastes good and the service was awesome! Love the environment and can't wait to go back!!

Delicious Cajun boil. I opted for the 3 person shrimp, crawdads, clams. Also opted for the kicking Cajun sauce on the side and controlled my dipping vs saturating the whole boil. Very generous servings for 40$ Huge shrimp, generous clams ( smaller kind ) generous crawdads And of course potatoes , corn on the cob , and savory sausage. The kicking Cajun sauce was truly unique and very full of flavor ( opted for mild on heat) Don't miss it. Lastly started dinner with Fried Calamari appetizer . One order fed four. Great batter and it is slightly battered with small slices of jalapeños. Very tame on the heat level but again equal to the best calamari I have had world wide. The service is very friendly and attentive. Never an empty drink If you like seafood this is the place to feast here in The Valley read more

This place has one of the best Seafood in town very pricy but work the eating. Who would of thought that garlic bread taste so good with seafood. I love the garlic bread it's so soft and perfect. Every time I go it's a MUST to get Garlic bread. read more

They are a seafood restaurant and they are out of lemon. There is a Trader Joe's next door. Basic. For plates at $50+, they should do better. I won't be back. Had to ask for refills. Crab was quite fishy tasting. Won't be back. read more

Happened on this tonight. Definitely the best seafood in the valley. Original presentation with excellent service. If you like Cajun style, you won't be disappointed. There are many other options for those who are not inclined to the adventurous side of life. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Customer service was HORRIBLE! I ordered online to DINE-IN, and be ready by 7pm. We got a Phone call at 6:30 to confirm and I said yes. Upon arrival the guy began to seat us, but when I said I ordered online he looked agitated and went through the orders to find mine. Then he said "You can't dine in if you order online". Then WHY have the option to order online & DINE-IN? He wasn't courteous or apologetic- this was the WORST cua timer service I've ever experienced here. I understand it's a busy night, but this was SO UNDERWHELMING. I drove from Cottonwood Heights for crap customer service and now cold food. Next time, I'll stick to Captain's Boil (West Jordan). If you're in the Salt Lake City area, I would suggest you do the same. read more

Flavor was good. Quality of meat was very poor. Asked for new meat and manager said they refuse to do anything. Very odd.

This was by far the best seafood boil I've eaten and I've been to so many to say the least! The customer service was outstanding and the the food was really a kickin along with an immaculate setting. You know it's a good restaurant when the restrooms are clean to the max. I'm not good with remembering names but man was he the sweetest most attentive server to my husband and I. I can't emphasize how delicious the seafood boil was. I'm a Cali girl but when I come to Utah this is the spot I will always stop by and eat read more
