    Fried oysters
    Eloy Q.

    To be honest, everything was so good...I forgot to let the camera eat first before I dug into my meal. I had the fried oysters and the mixed Alfreda pasta dish. Everything tasted so fresh and had such a balance on flavor with each dish. The interior was clean and fun to o look at, and the staff was warm and welcoming. Definitely will visit here again when I visit TX in the future!

    Never a bad time at The Kickin' Crab. Friendly and efficient service. Chill ambiance. Food comes out fast and hot. The flavor is always on point.

    We are now in November and no response was given! When I called to make my formal complaint I was advised that there was nothing that they can do in store but that I would have to email and then they are good at responding to emails. This occurred in October.

    Catfish Fish n' Fries (4 pcs).  Never again

    9 young females working behind the counter (having personal conversations). Catfish not American catfish which is illegal in US. Very over priced for the portion. I will never go back. Fort Worth, Arlington Grand Prairie "stay away" I'm sure they will add a couple of positive reviews to cover this one up

    Restaurant look fun, great decor, service was A1 but I did not care for the food, way too salty, no I won't be back.

    Service was good, our server was friendly...could have been a bit more attentive though. Food was good. Crab was small and the sauce needed more flavor. The ambiance is nice. Newly built location. 3/5 decent place

    I enjoyed my meal! I had been craving a boil for a while now. I felt like my bag had just enough food and great flavor! Average noise level, good atmosphere, pretty spacious so you could bring a group. We were able to pay individually.

    Kickin Wings, Cajun fries

    This was my first time at kickin crab, but my family has been there a few times so they knew exactly what to order. The food was really good, and the workers were very attentive and friendly. I really liked the decoration inside, and how they had separate sinks to wash your hands after you finished eating. We ordered the garlic noodles, kickin wings, Cajun fries, and the snow crab special. I thought everything was super flavorful and fresh. Glad I finally got to try out kickin crab to see what the hype was about

    I was craving fish, so I selected the fish' n fries. The meal includes 5 fried catfish tenders, cajun fries, and tartar sauce. For $13.50 the meal isn't worth getting in my opinion. The establishment was clean, and service was fast. I was picking up my order so I'm unsure what dine-in service they provide. I believe they're opening a location in Hulen soon. I will have to visit the Hulen location when I win the lottery. They're overpriced compared to other places with similar items. If I return, I'll purchase the kickin wings and seafood in a bag combo deal.

The texture was just right--crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The spice level had a nice kick without being overpowering. (We picked the pepper-jack cheese filling) They were fantastic and Paired with the right dipping sauce, I'd definitely order them again! Our Jambalaya was Packed with bold flavors and the perfect balance of spice, this jambalaya was absolutely delicious! The rice was cooked just right--tender and infused with all the smoky, savory goodness of the sausage, chicken, and shrimp. Every bite had a rich depth of flavor, with just the right amount of heat to keep things exciting. The portion was generous, and the seasoning was spot on. If you're looking for an authentic, hearty, and satisfying dish, this jambalaya ROCKS my pallet! BOUDIN!!! BOUDIN!! BOUDIN!! THE NAMESAKE! Both the spicy and mild Boudin were absolutely delicious! The mild version had a rich, savory flavor with a perfect balance of seasoning, while the spicy one had just the right amount of heat to give it an extra kick without overpowering the taste. The texture was spot on--moist, flavorful, and packed with authentic Cajun goodness. Whether you like it mild or with a bit of spice, this Boudin is a must-try. Perfect on its own or with a little mustard and crackers. I am so HAPPY I grabbed some frozen links to-go for my freezer at home when I have that late night craving for Beaux Boudin! The owners treat you like family and most definitely make these wonderful dishes with LOVE you can taste in every bite!! Make sure to check the hours and plan your visit...you won't be disappointed!

    Do not overlook this spot just 'cause it's inside a gas station. The owners are from Louisiana and…read moreknow what they're doing! The owners are very nice. I got two plates of fried oysters. Each plate came with three sides. My sides included greens, roasted potatoes, crawfish mac 'n cheese and crawfish etouffee. Of course, the orders were to go. There is one small table with chairs inside, but this spot is definitely more of a take out place. The plates did not disappoint. The oysters were full sized, fresh, hand breaded oysters. The sides were also delish. I could have used more crawfish on my sides, but I'm sure if you get the etouffee or mac 'n cheese as your main, then you get more crawfish. I also bought one of their housemade praline candies, which my sister promptly devoured. LOL! She said it was good. I will have to take her word for that until I can make it back. I am from Louisiana and so happy this spot is here. It reminds me of the little "hole in the wall" places I used to eat as a kid. The food is cooked like someone's Louisiana grandma & momma made it! I suggest calling first to ensure they are open. The first two times I went, the gas station manager told me that the restaurant was closed for the day. If you call the # listed in Yelp, they do answer.

    OK. ACNOLA has to be one of my FUNKIEST hold-in-the-wall finds ever!…read more This place is a diamond in the rough! The owner, a New Orleans native, is not just a cook but also the nicest guy you'll meet. His passion for food is evident in every dish he serves. So a few months ago, a friend of mine, a NOLA native who works in Fort Worth, called me up and said I had to come try this new place he'd found that's cooking honest to goodness, "You think you're in New Orleans food!" So you know I have to go try it. First thing: It's inside a Chevron gas station. If you didn't know it was there, you would NEVER know. Once you pop inside, you can check out the menu and order at the end of the counter. If you wish to dine in, there's one little four-person table in the back. He has a great menu of all the signature NOLA items. If you're looking for something and don't see it on the menu, ask him; he may have it. He has many of the NOLA stables. He also serves breakfast and a few other lunch items like Tacos (Fish, Shrimp, Chicken, and beef). Over the last few months, I have had the Étoufeé, Crawfish Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens, Fried Pork Ribs, Boudin egg rolls, Crawfish egg rolls, Shrimp PoBoy, and Catfish PoBoy. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. The flavors and seasonings are spot-on. You will think you're in New Orleans until you step outside! You may have noticed that I keep coming back. Usually, something new has been added to the menu. While chatting with the owner, he's planning a few more surprises for the menu. Don't let the Chevron gas station fool you! Some serious NOLA cooking is happening inside, so don't pass it by. It's now my favorite Cajun/Creole food destination in the Metroplex.
