Went to The Kickin Crab recently and honestly the food was pretty good. The fries were super crispy and seasoned really well, probably one of my favorite things we ordered. The seafood had good flavor and the portions were decent for the price. The drinks were also good and had a nice spicy rim on them which was cool. Service was good and the staff was friendly and checked on us. The place had a fun vibe and felt busy but not too crowded. Definitely a good spot if you're craving seafood boils and spicy food with friends. I'd come back again, mainly for the fries and shrimp. read more

Kickin Crab understood the assignment. The seafood was messy in the best possible way, the flavors were incredible, and I left questioning whether I need crab every weekend now. Tiffany was an absolute gem and somehow managed to keep us happy, laughing, and fully stocked on everything we needed while we destroyed a table full of seafood like professionals. Give that girl a raise. Go check it out. Hope that helps !! read more

Overall really disappointed in food BUT great customer service. Ordered Combo #3 with lobster, shrimp, and crawfish. Spicy spicy. Flavor was bland, spicy level was more like medium spicy than spicy spicy. Lobster and sausages were terrible, super dry, rubbery, and chewy. Guess I'll have to try the next place to satisfy my seafood craving. read more

Kickin crab always hits the spot. I like coming to this location because it's not as busy compared to others; I've never had to wait more than a couple minutes to be seated. Location is clean and employees are kind. Look at the family meal deals! read more

Absolutely loved our visit to Kickin Crab! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm. Our server, a trainee, truly went above and beyond. He was not only attentive to our needs but also incredibly kid-friendly, engaging with my child in a playful way that made the experience even more enjoyable. He consistently checked in to see if we needed anything, ensuring our dining experience was seamless. It's refreshing to see someone so dedicated to customer service, especially as a newcomer. The food was delicious, but it was this exceptional service that made the evening memorable. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and welcoming dining atmosphere! Can't wait to return! read more

I really wanted to like The Kickin' Crab because the vibes and aesthetic are cool, and the place itself looks fun. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to that. First, our order was never put into the system, and no one realized until everyone else around us already had their food. We had to bring it to their attention ourselves, which was frustrating and set the tone for the rest of the meal. When the food finally came out, there were more issues. The potatoes were extremely large and not cooked thoroughly, which made them inedible. Size didn't matter when they weren't fully cooked. On top of that, ranch wasn't free, which felt ridiculous considering we ordered fries and onion rings -- foods that usually come with ranch or at least don't cost extra. The drink situation was also disappointing. Even with two bars, it still felt unorganized and slow. One positive is that the shrimp tasted good, although it honestly didn't feel like a full pound. Overall, the restaurant has a cool atmosphere, and maybe this was just a one-time mistake, but between the forgotten order, undercooked food, and unnecessary extra charges, the experience was disappointing. Vibes alone weren't enough to save it this time. read more

the food is really kickin!! They have a very nautical and welcoming environment as well! Definitely recommend for any and all seafood boil lovers! read more

Service is great, place is clean, this is my favorite place to go for seafood boil for affordable and good quality.

The Kickin Crab was Kickin' when I was there. I love this orange circle location because it was easy to find parking and it was nice to walk around after my meal. Our servers name was Gracie and she was amazing. It was my friend's first time having Kickin Crab, and Gracie. explained the whole process to her after we got our bag of goodies. There were several servers checking in on us to make sure that we were good and asked if we needed anything else. We got the lobster, clams and shrimp combo kickin style with medium heat. It was so good and buttery. We paired it with white rice and it was a perfect. So the space was very clean and they gave us gloves and a bib to make sure that we didn't get everything all over ourselves. I would highly recommend coming to this place because of the ambience service and delicious food. We know we'll come back. read more

It was on Christmas Eve. I called first to order my food and found out that the phone order has a limit I think about $250, and the online order is $150 I want to say after taxes. Just. All and confirm. Anyways, went in person to order my food to go. Few mins later it was ready. Smelled so delicious, once home open up the bag and found aprons, and the white parchment paper - the one they put on the table. It was very nice of them to do that. For the spice I pick medium. It was good just my weak sauce taste buds were on fire. I didn't care if my taste buds were on fire it was delicious. Next time I'll pick mild, extra mild or a different flavor. Sorry for not showing pictures, brain was on nom nom mode. read more

我不確定他們是每天生意都這麼好，還是因為是父親節，我今天四點多到的時候前面還有六七個位子在等，不能怪別人我們自己沒有放 waitlist 不過人雖然很多，但是他們的服務態度還是很好，東西還是一樣的好吃，不過兩個人吃起來也是九十幾元也不便宜，他們家的味道是我小孩非常喜歡的，我自己也很喜歡，如果你還沒有嚐過這一家的小龍蝦，建議真的要試試 read more

I loooooove this place! Jericca was the best server ever. She always gives us recommendation on what to order and it never disappoints.

It had been so long since I'd been to a Kickin' Crab, and I was excited to check out this newer location at the Circle! We came on a weekday for lunch and got seated right away. Super cool in here and they have a huge bar which I was not expecting! Great location for large parties since there is so much seating available. We got 2 lbs of the shrimp with the Kickin' Sauce and UGH SOOOO GOOD! Service was attentive and checked in on us throughout the time we were there. I can't wait to come back! read more

The Kickin' Crab - Cajun fries with shrimp seafood bag - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Orange, California

This is a new place at Old Towne Orange so we simply had to visit! It's spacious and clean, with friendly staff that goes out of their way to help. We ended up getting cajun fries to start and their deal where you get a pound each of your choice of three items. We opted with shrimp, crawfish, and mussels. Cajun Fries- What a lovely way to start! The fries were fried to perfection and seasoned with a generous amount of cajun spice. Savory, sweet, and a little kick all in one. Seafood Boil- The sauce was bursting with flavor and the seafood was fresh. It also came with sausage, potatoes, and corn. A pretty hearty and comforting meal! Great place to get your seafood fix! read more

Our server Jessica was amazing and the food was delicious. The restaurant was very clean and inviting.

Jericca was super attentive and helpful during our visit. She made good recommendations and was super warm. The food was perfection!!!!

This is a nice addition to the Orange circle. The restaurant is spacious, great customer service and the crab flavors were kicking. I ordered the extra mild seasoning but it still had a slight kick. The servers came up to check on us multiple times, gave us bibs to protect our clothes and also plastic gloves to peels the shrimps. Come early to avoid the dinner rush and to find parking. read more

Overall, my friends and I had a decent experience. But I think the oysters were bad because we all got food poisoning the next day. Garlic Noodles - 5/5 Super delicious. I love how there are big chunks of garlic in them. Eat it while it's hot because it's not as good when it's cold. Oysters - 3/5 Despite us probably getting sick from it, the oysters were just okay. They were a little dry. Seafood boil - 4/5 The seafood itself was pretty solid. I think that the flavor isn't quite there. But overall I enjoyed it. The crawfish is fresh!! Those were pretty good. Mussels were also good. If the juice was better, it would have higher score. It was also our friend's birthday, and they have a free cheesecake! The inside is pretty big and spacious and the service was good! I think the main thing I would come back for is probably the garlic noodles! read more

Location is where the old Watsons Soda was in the Orange Circle. Easy to put your name on the wait list and then walk around the shops at the Orange Circle. The place is pretty spacious and clean. The food was great! We ordered snow crab and shrimp. They ran out of Dungeness crab for the evening. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and huge! The snow crab was nice and meaty. I would totally get the All in sauce it's the best! Would totally add this to my rotation of local restaurants! read more

Went in on a Wednesday afternoon. Easy to find. Found 3 hour parking right behind the building. No wait. My friends and I were greeted and seated right away. We were surprised by how big the restaurant was compared to others. Really clean. Great service with attentive staff. Food came out rather quickly. The three of us shared the Combo #3 and it was the perfect amount and spice level (medium). Really enjoyed our experience here. The women's restroom was really clean too! Will definitely choose this location again in the future. :) *The picture I took of the bag doesn't do it justice. It was a really good amount of food! read more

It's okay. The food was good but the vibe is lacking something. Maybe needs some music or then the lights down a bit? Fun for families if kids like seafood otherwise there's not much else to offer. read more

We had such a great experience thanks to our server, Tiffany. As a family of four with young kids, going out to eat can sometimes feel stressful, but she was beyond intentional and attentive in all the small ways that made a huge difference. At one point, our daughter noticed the orange garnish on one of our drinks and wanted one. We told her no, but Tiffany overheard and kindly brought her a clean orange of her own. It was such a small but thoughtful gesture. When she brought out gloves for our seafood boil, I mentioned we didn't need extra pairs for the kids. Tiffany smiled and said kids usually end up wanting them anyway and she was absolutely right. That level of awareness and experience really stood out. She also checked in on us often without being intrusive and made sure we always had what we needed. We left feeling genuinely cared for. Super satisfied with the service and very thankful for Tiffany's kindness and attentiveness! read more

Yummmmmmy. First time coming here and I have to say...... "it's a 10/10" The sauce on this pound of shrimp is so flavorful. The place is super clean and the staff is great. Definitely coming back read more
