    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'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.

    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...

    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!

    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.

    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 .

    Always hits the spot! My go-to is shrimp, kickin style, mild. The cajun fries are the best! I just wish they had live crawfish.

    Bomb asf, the server Juan, made it so easy to order and make our bags, cool location. will definitely come again and again and again

    Great food and service. Ate there for breakfast…read more Lovely crowd and the wait staff are attentive and friendly.

    Upscale Restaurant on 2nd Street with Delicious Food…read more I've visited Saint & Second on multiple occasions: for drinks, a casual lunch, and my birthday dinner. Reservations are fairly easy to get, which make it an optimal choice if I'm looking to have a nice meal. The ambiance of Saint & Second is what sets it apart from other Belmont Shore restaurants. There's indoor seating and rooftop seating upstairs, and both areas are designed impeccably. The food menu changes every few months, which is great because it allows the chefs to experiment with new menu items, but I have been left missing past items. When I returned for the third time for my favorite hummus, I found that it was discontinued for a nice, but less tasty green hummus (which leaned more into an avocado flavor than traditional hummus flavor). Overall, if you'd like to return to Saint and Second, you should expect some changes to menu items every few months and plan accordingly. One appetizer I'd recommend is the tuna on crispy rice. This is a consistent item with great flavors that trump other tuna crispy rice dishes I've had at other restaurants. The amount of fish on this item is generous. If you are celebrating your birthday here like I did, they offer a delcious smores-flavored dessert. However, this dessert is not complimentary, and we were charged without the server informing us of the dessert's price. Overall, in terms of food, this restaurant offers a fresh array of menu items. I believe the server told us that their kitchen is a scratch kitchen, which contributes to the great quality of the food.

Although it's expected that the prices aren't the cheapest. When I heard that they have a Happy Hour, I thought it was a good chance to go back and try other stuff on the menu. 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!

Went on Sunday for a quick brunch. Ordered grilled halibut plate, wife ordered fish and scallops, topped it off with a clam chowder and two sodas. Total came out to be around 65$. Fish was just grilled with a ton of oil on the same griddle as everything else, seasoning consists of old bay and that is it. Bland, old bay seasoning. Fish and chip was bland, no flavor. Clam chowder had minimal clams and mainly thick soup base. So unless you think those YouTubers are coming there to say nice things, edit the video, and then post it so they can make content money.

I mention it to the server "that's because it's Coke Zero" Diet Coke and Coke Zero are not interchangeable, guests should be made aware of this especially when the menu says Diet Coke and that's what was asked for. Another note, fountain drinks only had one free refill. I ordered fish and chips, my daughter got the ham and grilled cheese sandwich with "fries", my friend ordered the clam chowder and her daughter got the shrimp basket. First, the "fries and chips" were not fries. They were potato wedges. Although potato wedges are fried potatoes they are not French fries. The fish part of my fish and chips wax good. The tartar sauce was sweet and that threw off my taste buds. My daughter and friend's daughter both enjoyed their orders. My friend said she'd give the clam chowder a 6/6.5. I tasted it. It wasn't bad, but tasted more bacon than clam. It was definitely an experience eating here. I forgot to mention when the check came it had a credit card fee on the check without knowing if I was paying with cash or card.
