    First time visiting this place and we arrived close to closing time, but everything was still amazing! The crawfish were fresh, huge, and packed with flavor. The seasoning was delicious and perfectly coated every piece. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and comfortable. What impressed me the most was the staff. Even though it was almost closing time, everyone was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service without making us feel rushed. Overall, a wonderful experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and great customer service. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

    Came here on a Wednesday around 7pm. Parking lot. Big tables. They were out of some items already like lobster tail and mussles. Ordered fries were seasoned well. Ordered kickin sauce not too spicy for mild. Inside corn and potatoes well cooked. The lower was ok. The shrimp was big and good. The snowcrab legs were good. 2 lbs pf shrimp filled up around 3 people. Rice couldve been cooked better. Service was kind. All in all good time and good taste.

    If you love the Boiling Krab you will definitely like this! I decided to try this place and I was very impressed. Everything is cooked with perfection and the flavors are exquisite! I've tried so many things in the menu and I've been super happy with everything. The service is great from the moment you walk in. The whole staff is attentive and are quick to take your order, they're always working together to give the best service possible. The place is clean, huge and it feel like home. I love how quick they being out the food. I love the videos they play in the background it makes me enjoy the food so much more!

    First time here! My partner is a big seafood person and as we passed it, we finally decided to stop by. Im not into seafood, hence the chicken strip order lol! He really enjoyed his bag but was a bit disappointed they were out of a VERY long list of things like corn and eggs and even king crab (they mentioned their order was late...) Nevertheless we stayed for a few beers and some food. Pretty pricey for a bag that didn't include too many food items. The girl who helped us was AMAZING!! And the guy who checked on us while she was on lunch was also a superstar!! You guys are the reason we stuck around!!! The restaurant is nice and i loved the ceiling but the tables seemed a bit close. They have their own parking lot and it's pretty big. We also waited absolutely no time before being seated. Definitely gonna think twice about coming back but who knows...

    If you're craving a messy, flavorful seafood feast, The Kickin' Crab definitely delivers. Their crab boil is the star of the show--perfectly cooked, juicy crab coated in a rich, buttery sauce that hits that ideal balance of garlic, spice, and a little tang. You can customize the heat level, which is great whether you like just a mild kick or something that really brings the fire. Be prepared to get your hands dirty--in the best way possible. They give you gloves and everything comes out in a bag, soaked in sauce, which just adds to the fun, casual vibe. The portions are generous, and it's the kind of meal that's even better when shared. Service can get a little busy during peak hours, but the staff is friendly and keeps things moving. Overall, it's a go-to spot when you're in the mood for bold flavors, good portions, and a laid-back seafood experience.

    I'm not a huge seafood fan but my family is. I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Very clean on the inside. Of course it smells somewhat like seafood but it's not unbearable like some of the other seafood broil places. The food was yummy and portions were good. The service was very good. Our server was very good and attentive. Definitely one of the better seafood broil bag places we have visited.

    No thrills - No chills This place is legit. I order food for pick up usually my go to is headless Shrimp in house spice *( $20 lb ) the space can be packed with families . The food is on point and a big parking lot what else you want from a Crab broil!

    Always fire! Never disappoints My go to shrimp head off and all the sides Sauce better than boiling crab tbh... mmmm yum.

    I had a great experience at The Kicking Crab! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out hot. Big shoutout to Juan and Jennifer for their amazing service they were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. They really made our visit even better. Definitely coming back!

    Definitely recommend this place . This is where we started when we first tried this place over a year ago , we've been to 2 other locations but this one has always been very good to us . Our server today was awesome. Very kind and a great attitude Food always hits . Head on shrimp is my go to . I don't recommend going over medium spicy level due to stomachaches . Or maybe thats just me but if you really want to enjoy it with out any distress do mild or medium for just enough of a kick. Ambiance is very chill . It can get cold at times in there so definitely bring a jacket . . No complains . 10/10 finger licking tasty . Definitely prefer this over The boiling crab .

The fish was excellent--crispy and crunchy on the outside, while staying tender and flaky on the inside. Every bite was fresh and flavorful, and the tartar sauce paired perfectly with it. The portion size was generous, and the fish was definitely the highlight of the meal. The fries were okay and served hot, but they weren't as impressive as the fish. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the fish. If you're craving classic fish and chips, this spot is worth checking out. Great fish, friendly service, and a satisfying meal. P.s CASH ONLY

We both went with the Deluxe Platter (1 fish, 1 jumbo shrimp, and 5 scallops, served with fries) and had a cup of water to drink. Took about 10 minutes for them to freshly fry everything. We ate there. Speaking of the inside where we ate. Hot as a motherfucker! Seriously, sweating. Not sure if their AC was broke or what, but it was hot in there! Anyways...to the food...... How was it? Eh...just ok. Deluxe Platter- Looked great! Tasted, just ok. The shrimp was delicious, wish I had gotten all shrimp. The scallops were pretty good too. It said it comes with 5 scallops, but we each got at least 8 or 9. They were small, but tasty. The fish though, a little disappointed. It was "watery" and the batter had absolutely no salt/seasoning on it. Same with the fries. No salt at all. My Mom liked it better than I did, but even she complained that it needed salt. The owners were super friendly and I'm glad they do a good business. Might be a one and done for me though.

    It's been a while since I found a New American restaurant that I thoroughly enjoyed everything I…read moreordered. Saint & Second just hits the spot for me! For starters, we got the Parker House Rolls, which comes with truffle butter, local citrus honey, and grana padano cheese. These rolls were so fluffy and flavorful. We also ordered the hummus, which was so rich and creamy, and the oysters from the raw bar. For the main, we ordered the Smoked & Glazed Pork Chop, Fish & Chips, and the Wedge salad to share. And let me tell you, that everything was so good. The Smoked & Glazed Pork Chop came with a whole show, where staff would bring out the dish in a smoke-infused glass dome and open the dome when presented on the table so we can smell and see all the smoke. Not only was it beautiful to look at, but it tasted just as beautifully. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the rainbow swiss chard, cheddar grits, candied pecans, and avocado honey helped balance out all the juiciness from the meat. They use haddock fillet for the Fish & Chips, which was fried to perfection. The Wedge Salad is what actually knocked my socks off! This was one of the best wedge salads that I've ever had. It had your key ingredients: iceberg, buttermilk dressing, red onion, crumbled egg, tomato, bacon gastrique, blue cheese, dill, chives - but something about this salad was different! It was so refreshing, flavorful--just everything you want in a dish. We ended the dining experience with their Peach Cobbler Hand Pie, which came with streusel, pistachio crumble, salted caramel, and vanilla ice cream. Can't wait to go back when I'm in the area!

She then said you and your party can get out or I can call the cops. When I asked the clear manager in his outfit, requesting who the fake GM was, he along with the Bartender on shift played stupid as to supply her name. Margarita clearly was not a GM but felt that she needed to keep creating an unnecessary situation. The situation was already de escalated when he complied with what she asked. Do better with your staffing saint and second.

The tartar sauce does not taste like it was freshly made and it's a little overly sweet. But the friend fish with the vinegar and tartar sauce was what i was looking for.

We had half a dozen raw oysters, mini fish and chips, and the crunchy roll bowl to share (for two people). Everything was really good!! The oysters were fresh, fish and chips were really good (I just realized it's their most popular dish, no wonder!), and the crunchy roll bowl is like a tempura sushi roll in a bowl. Portions were small-ish as expected for the price, but still really good to enjoy several different dishes that they have. The waiters and host were really nice too. We brought our dog and it's really nice that they have a beautiful patio to do some people watching while eating. We got there around 4.30pm and only had to wait around 25-30min. I think it could've been faster if we didn't bring a dog and opted to sit inside instead. Definitely recommend to stop by whenever anyone is walking around the area. I will come back and try their other plates!
