Food quality is consistent with the Chino Hills location. Noah, who was an excellent server at that location, is at this location now and his service is just as great. (Not sure if he's the manager now or a different person, but every server here is polite and efficient). We get the kickin combo #1, kickin style, mild with shrimp and mussels; fried oysters; garlic noodles. I feel like the sausages at this location are bigger compared to CH. Food comes out reasonably fast. Restrooms are always clean. There are sinks outside to wash your hands as well. read more

Noah is the bestest! Soooo cool. Matt too Cajun fries and garlic noodles yummy #Shrimp head on fa life read more

Leah was awesome! I mistakenly ordered head on shrimp and it was a bit overcooked but when I sw Leah she agreed to replace my order and added a complimentary appetizer. That is GREAT customer service and why I will keep coming back. Thank you! KC Montclair. read more

First decent seafood boil place i've tried outside of boiling crab. Spacious restaurant with multiple tables. PARKING: located in shopping plaza, plenty of parking FOOD: ordered cajun fries, fish tacos, & seafood boil. in my bag i got the shrimp, clams in medium spice, kickin' style. waiter made me doubt my spice capabilities because he said a lot of customers say spicy level is spicy... but to be honest it's nothing that crazy. i would say kickin crab is less spicy than boiling crab for sure. my friends enjoyed their boils & fish tacos as well. overall, i do like boiling crab more but if you're restrained by driving distance (i dont think there is a boiling crab near here) or don't wanna wait long, this place will scratch that seafood boil itch. read more

We had such a wonderful evening dining here as a family. My husband, our son, and I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and served with a genuine sense of hospitality. We'd like to give four-star kudos to the restaurant overall. If there were ever a star to be taken off, it would be for a couple of small details. Personally, I prefer my wine in a proper glass rather than a plastic cup--it helps elevate the dining experience. The paper plates and boat-style trays, along with plastic cutlery, took a little away from the otherwise excellent presentation. We also asked for an extra set of crab utensils so our son could have his own, but those never arrived. That said, the restaurant was very busy, and it was clear that the staff were doing their best to keep up with the crowd. Service was patient, informative, and friendly throughout. Special kudos to our server, Christopher, who showed great patience and knowledge while juggling a hectic evening. He made us feel taken care of despite the rush. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be going back read more

This location is a bit closer than the Chino Hills one but sadly i'll most likely stick to the Chino Hills location. For some reason this boil gave me stomach issues and made my skin all red. Never had any issues at the other Kickin Crab location. At least the service was attentive and seated us fast and the space is big and can accommodate large parties. read more

Honestly Lea and her team always killing it they have the best costumer service and great positive attitudes also the food quality is great with awesome portions... again thank you read more

Service is good.., food tastes fresh and came out in a timely manner. The staff are all friendly and attentive. They have TVs to watch sports . Restrooms didn't care for. Their unisex. I don't like going into the restroom after a man's been in there. I'm pretty sure a man doesn't want to go in there when a woman goes in there right after.. overall I'll go back read more

Food was amazing! This is the 3rd location we've been to and I would say this is by far the best one. In the taste of the food and the service. Wonderful! The employees are so friendly and attentive. They all had smiles and were polite. We were seated right away, our waitress immediately came to us took our drink and app order. Calamari came out fast and straight away to ordering. We had 2 lbs. of shrimp head off, 1 lb. Of crawfish, double order of snow crab legs along with potatoes, sausage and corn and pita bread. Kickin' Style Mild. Wonderful flavor! Inside was smaller than the others we've been too but it was clean and organized. To be honest I liked the size better than the bigger ones. We will be back and glad it's close to the house. Thank you Kickin' Crab Montclair! read more

This has been one of my favorite go to places for seafood broil. This place gets busy so I recommend checking in on the app before you get here to get on the waitlist. The service is great here as they are attentive and make sure you have everything you need. I love getting one of the specials that includes crab and sharing it with my partner which is more than enough for both of us! Their sweet potato fries are definitely a must! read more

Shrimp was mushy and looked like white boogers and tasted disgusting told the waiter they says it was over cooked the shrimp head but the were left out and bad before cooking, so the were pretty much cooking shrimp that was no good read more

Food was so good and full of flavor We got the #2 with lobster, shrimp, creole and sausage The only thing is that it comes with only two potatoes and one corn cut in half. But it was good and the service was good Nice and clean and they have some music and tv's Total was the #2, one drink $119 not including tip read more

Love this place I always get a pound of shrimp and fries kicking style. 2 sides of rice

This place was an absolute pleasure to dine at for Father's Day. We ordered kickin combo meal 3 and food arrived very fast. The shrimp, mussels and crabs were freshly made and the flavor really hit the Cajun spot. Our server Angelina was amazing and the other boys were very helpful and diligent as well! I read the other reviews here before and I believe they worked on their negatives before so I'm happy. You guys rock and thank you for a great Father's Day experience. read more

Kicking crab ,這種 Cajun style 的海鮮，我家兩個小孩最喜歡吃的是他們這家的口味，說實話，我覺得他們的小龍蝦其實是比較小的，但是他們的口味是讚的，讓人家覺得濃郁，也辣得剛剛好，所以每次說要吃小龍蝦，兩個小孩都會選擇這一家的分店，如果你也喜歡類似的口味，你再來試試，也許試過就沒法離開， 會常常回來當主顧了 read more

Our server Shayle provided such great service! She was really fast and efficient and had a great attitude. Definitely recommend this location! read more

This place is decent; it has a few different options compared to my usual place. They have lobster, mussels, crawfish, and clams, in addition to the regular items like snow crab, sausage, potatoes, and eggs. Their prices are average compared to several similar places. The service is okay; they get your order out fast and get it right. You do need to make an effort to get their attention from time to time. The place is smaller than most, but plenty of room is between chairs and tables. It can get a little noisy, but that's part of the fun of these places. It didn't blow me away, but it also wasn't terrible this time. Oh yeah, and the parking was a little tight. read more

Food was so so delicious!!!!! No wait, friendly service , food came out quickly. Honestly don't know how this place hasn't blown up yet. 15/10 recommend! read more

Came in the other day the staff was so friendly and the food was amazing! My fav is the cajun fries and the cajun shrimp with boiled eggs mild with a side of rice . The shrimp is so flavorful, so easy to peel! The vibe is very chill they always have the games on and the music bumping! The restrooms stay clean, and parking is easy to get in and out of. Even though it's a bug shopping plaza with a large superstore, there always seems to be plenty of parking . Staff is so quick to pick up the phone when you call and ask for current wait times and qhwn tou get here, you are greeted and quickly sat down. Nate and Tim have been our servers the last few times, and they're always so respectful and quick to handle any situation. Will keep coming back for sure ! Will keep coming with the gang for sure! So grab your fam or friends and head over for dinner , lunch or both ! Why not ! read more

My husband, my mother-in-law, and I came to the Kicking Crab for dinner. My husband had crab, potatoes, boiled, egg same as my mother-in-law. I had muscles, potatoes, eggs, and corn. We pick the butter and garlic with the lemon pepper, mild on the side. That sauce they use is delicious the bomb. The service was 10 out of 10. Our server was 10 out of 10. The ambience is 10 out of 10. We will be back real soon. read more

Adam was completely unprofessional & rude I had walked in and had requested a table they were too busy cleaning tables instead of sitting customers. Also Adam had a horrible customer service, super unprofessional, and none of the workers that were around care to make sure I got the table I had requested. Leah was not much help either once I spoke to her apparently she's a manager, but you can tell her she was just trying to cu be t off the conversation because obviously it was into their convenience. I used to come here a lot but as of tonight I am done going here now because the food is good, but it's just unbelievable. How long it takes somebody to be sat down when there's a bunch of tables sitting around clean there were too busy cleaning the dirty customers getting taken care of on top of that was getting walk-ins and would sit on right into any table, they don't have the best communication skills at this location. It's unfortunate. When are we going to this location? Any longer!! Say this jive read more

Ok this place has some of the best garlic noodles I've had in a long time i ordered garlic noodles with Cajun shrimp i got mine to go it was so good I forgot to take a picture of my food but i will next time would have gave them 5 stars but my shrimp was overcooked and dry but over I still liked it.. read more

Food is ok, service and staff are ok as well but the manager is extremely rude and unprofessional.

Grateful they have the best sauce for shrimp boil. Fast and great service good seating.

I liked that it had the market place prices at the counter so you can have an idea of what is available and the current rate. Easy to make boil you choose everything. Did not order any premade items. Got the shrimp without the head. I enjoyed the sea/beach decorations. The bathroom was well kept and the sink was outside of the bathroom area so everyone can see you wash your hands. If you like boils you should def enjoy this place. read more

Kickin crab has always hit the spot. The service provided is always prompt and professional. Our go to spot in the IE

love this place! better than boiling crab fasho. service was quality and the ambiance is cool, lots of edm for sure.

The Kickin crab is our go to we love this place. We love the food and the ambience. It always has great service. I just wished that the prices would stop going up it used to be $20 for a pound of crab now a pound of crab is 50 ridiculous. You can get a pound of crab for $10 in the store so I don't know why they're charging $50 for it. read more

Great food, great service but 4 stars for being understaffed. Managers need to step up. Bathrooms were a mess, no TP, soap was broken. During dinner rush people were waiting a while for food and checks. Again, not the servers fault. They were doing everything they could. Will be coming back. read more

First time coming to this place! we live in LA but we visit my dad and mom here in ontario!! It was also my mom's first ever seafood boil & Food was so good! We are avid boiling crab goers but this place knocks it out of the park! On top of great food we got seated fast. Lastly our waiter Tim was awesome! Super friendly, very welcoming. He held conversation with us & made sure we were taken care of! It was honestly nice to know we went to dinner spent money on food we got to enjoy & that the waiter didn't hate his job. We'll definitely be back! Tim thank you for your good customer service read more

When I saw that a location was now open in Montclair, I was excited! The location was not busy at all, and it's a bit smaller compared to some locations. Friendly staff for the most part. I ordered 1 lb of shrimp & 1 lb of frozen crayfish kickin' style in MILD. I also ordered some canjun fries. The shrimp were extremely overcooked to the point where it was mushy and impossible to peel off the shells. The flavoring was extremely sweet and overly salty. The fries were COLD and stale. It was not fresh at all. I'm a bit disappointed with the quality of the food. Hopefully, it was just an off day. read more
