    Service and food was horrible! The cashier was not capable of giving me a proper receipt to sign. The manager/owner was very rude and pushy to me and his staff. The food was awful! The shrimp was rubbery, corn hard. The potato was soft and the sausage was passable. Overall the flavor was bland. I got the rocking sauce which is mix of all literally could not taste anything but garlic. I don't even like salty food but this was just trash. I asked for lemon pepper on the side and it didn't do much to add flavor. It must be the salt free variety.

    Rocking Crab is a seafood restaurant that sells Cajun/Creole and Southern style food. But I don't really like crustacean seafood, so I ordered Chicken Wings. The Chicken Wing had a crispy texture and was full of juicy meat without drying out, making it unstoppable. One thing that was really disappointing was that they don't sell beer. I think the food they sell here would really go well with beer. It would be great if this restaurant sells beer or has a BYOB system where customers could bring their own beer.

    Everything about this restaurant was worth stopping for. The restaurant was very clean. The food was freshly cooked. The person who took my order was patient and accommodating. This is my second time here. Will return again when I am in the area.

    If you like crawfish this may be the place for you. You place your order at the counter either to go or to eat in and I had them to go. They informed me that it would be 20 to 30 min since they are cooked to order. My order came out nice and hot and the 12 min drive to the hotel and check in did not affect them at all. When I opened them up they were still real hot. They were cooked and perfectly tasted fresh and I really enjoyed them. I had the rocking sauce medium and it was fantastic. The young lady at the counter was professional and very pleasant. It was worth the wait.

    The rice is good ....Small shrimp. But good for the price. I should have added the crawfish.

    Ate here for the second time, first time was decent, I got special combo 4 and 5 piece garlic Parmesan wings. Service was nice, restaurant was clean and stated no dining in but they were two people sitting at a table. The wings were not seasoned well, I did not like them at all. I got the mild sauce with special combo 4, it was decent, not sure if I will go back again.

    I spent 31 dollars for 1 lb crab , 1/2 shrimp , 1/2 sausage I feel like this wasn't weighed out properly ! Also the shell was sticking the shrimp it was overcooked!

    Shrimp and fish basket, really good.

    Came here because hibachi place I was going to was closed. They were very polite and had a good menu for good price. I got fish and shrimp with fries and hushpuppies and my friend got 2 fried rices and wings with 4 drinks it was about $50, so not bad. The catfish was really good and a big portion and she had so much shrimp fried rice she gave one, it was very good. I'd definitely go again.

    Amazing service & the food was amazing definitely going there next time! So if you love seafood this is the spot and the sauce is so so so so good!!!!

The Cajun Kitchen has been here in the Red Bird area of Oak Cliff for 10 years and this was our first visit. Only open M - F from 11 - 5:30p, this is a busy place. Nearly everything is cooked to order. The Gumbo was terrific. I like mine with okra and peppers and onion that I can SEE and it didn't have that, but their smooth spicy dark roux was delicious. I counted 6 large perfectly cooked shrimp in my pint of Gumbo with some diced chicken and sliced sausage and little bits of ham. I also like garlic bread. But honestly, it's hard to be too picky with something this good! Pint - $10.99 Next time, I'll just get it to go and do what I want to it at home. Lol. We also had the posted special - the Catfish Special for $10.99 The Catfish is some of the best that I've had in awhile! The cornmeal is seasoned to perfection, then the fish is fried to perfection and gently cradled on a slice of wheat bread. Um hm. Wheat bread. OMG. Two perfect pieces were served with some AWESOME red beans and rice. I just wasn't feeling fries and a substitution was made for the most glorious red beans and rice! So very good. A can of soda or bottle of water is included. Whole pickled jalapeños are available for 59 cents each. Yes! Have to have some of those, too. I stuffed myself and then took the rest home. As did my husband. For whatever the dining room may have lacked in ambiance, it more than made up in a good time. The A/C was good, the tables were comfortable and the service was friendly, kind and helpful. There's plenty of parking. They have to go and pick up spaces for food out front. BTW There's both baked and fried fish and chicken which sounds amazing. I hope to try both!

    It was ok. It is dark inside. But I love the sit in your car and order and they bring it out to you.read more

We come here for the food, but especially for the friendly staff members and managers that work here. Their instances far in between where sometimes things don't work out, like the kitchen or the type of service for example, they've always made it right here very friendly, very professional as long it's communicated they can fix it.

I ordered the salmon with king crab and asked for my salmon medium because I don't like it rubbery. Unfortunately, the texture just wasn't for me, and I could only manage a couple of bites. What really stood out though was the service. Our waiter immediately noticed and offered to get a manager to take the entrée off our bill. We told him it wasn't necessary, but he still went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. We also realized we didn't even check what time they closed (the boys made the reservation), and right as I was finishing my Bloody Mary, we asked for another. He came back and let us know the bar had already closed and said he wasn't sure why they didn't make a "last call." You could tell he was worried it might affect his tip, even though we reassured him it absolutely wasn't his fault. That level of service and care is exactly why we keep coming back. Always a great experience.

Unfortunately, my experience did not quite match the hype. I ordered the fried catfish fillet with collard greens, and while the meal was decent enough to eat, it was nothing particularly memorable. The catfish was cooked through, but it lacked the seasoning and crispy texture I usually expect from good southern-style fried fish. It tasted fairly plain and could have benefited from more flavor overall. The collard greens were also disappointing, as they seemed underseasoned and did not have the rich homemade taste that many people rave about in similar restaurants. The staff was courteous and the restaurant itself appeared clean and organized, so I can appreciate the effort in customer service. However, based on the food quality alone, I was left feeling underwhelmed considering the strong reviews and recommendations I had seen beforehand. It was not a terrible experience, but it also was not impressive enough to make me eager to return.

We like to eat local whenever possible and thought fish and shrimp would be a good light dinner so we found Krab Kingz and read the reviews. Most of the negative comments were about how long it took, so we prepared for that. Hubby tore into it before I could take a picture. We ordered a fish and shrimp combo online with no problem. I received an email saying it would be ready in 30 minutes so we arrived right on time, expecting a delay. When we arrived it was hot and ready. Now there are several large signs that say Check Your Food Before You Leave. It was kind of crowded and dark in the restaurant but I opened the bag, saw fried fish and fries, and figured the shrimp were under them. Nope, I was wrong. They forgot the fish. It was too late to go back since they were closing by the time we noticed. So if you go CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE RESTAURANT! I'd advise you use your phone flash light (afterthought). The fish was fried hard, just like I like it but I couldn't taste seasoning. It also tasted "fishy" to me and that is when I realized that I didn't know what kind of fish it was! The fries and corn were good and they give you condiments and napkins. Overall I really wanted to add this to my Good in Dallas list but I can't. Maybe someone else will have better luck.
