Tasty, lots on the menu and lots of combination options. Fairly priced. Best seafood boil in Oregon! Cajun fries are super crispy, not spicy. I like the shape (skinny) Garlic noodles are creamy and buttery Mother's Day special 3lb crawfish for $25 is quite crazy KC fiesta is good, not too sour or tangy. Would love a flavor with even more sour like tamarind "Spicy" level is definitely spicy but not too hot Service is a bit slow but they are just finding their footing. read more

I've been here twice now. The first time was shortly after they opened, and I had a great experience. I ordered the seafood boil with snow crab, shrimp, potatoes, and sausage, and everything was really good. Because I enjoyed it so much, I decided to come back. Unfortunately, my second visit wasn't nearly as good. The service was still great, but the food quality had definitely gone downhill. I ordered 2 lbs of shrimp with a side of potatoes (pictured). The potato was rotten and mushy, so it wasn't edible at all. A lot of the shrimp still had the vein in them, and because they were overcooked, it had turned into mush and couldn't even be removed. I tried eating around it, but I ended up having to throw a lot of the shrimp away. The shrimp also tasted bitter and gritty because of it. It was really disappointing since my first experience was so good. I hope this was just an off day, but the quality was definitely not the same on my second visit. read more

Lots of choices on the menu. Food was okay, but nothing I would go back for. Service was amazing, but couldn't make up for the loud noise and the meh food. I really wanted to like this place. read more

The food at The Kickin' Crab was satisfying, but the overall atmosphere during my visit made it really difficult to enjoy the meal. Here is what we ordered: Clams: The clams were fresh, well-cooked, and came tossed in a rich, flavorful cajun spice blend that had a great kick to it. Garlic Noodle): A solid side dish. They were buttery, savory, and had a strong garlic aroma that paired perfectly with the seafood. Shrimp Boil: The shrimp were large, juicy, and soaked up the seasoning blend beautifully. It's exactly what you want from a classic seafood boil bag. The Downside: While the kitchen did a great job, the dining experience was completely derailed by the noise level. There was a table of people nearby that was unbelievably loud. They were practically screaming the entire time, completely overpowering the restaurant's background music. It's hard to fully enjoy your food when you can barely hear yourself think over the shouting next to you. The food itself easily warrants a higher rating, but a chaotic dining environment cuts the experience down to a flat 3 stars for this visit. read more

Fresh crab and crawfish. Friendly staff and clean place. Will go here again with family.

We came to see the hype from the old building of what used to be an Izzy's pizza. The place is very huge and well spaced out, the seats were comfy and there were giant TVs everywhere. It was a super clean establishment and everyone who worked there was super kind. Grabbed their promo of 1lb of snow crab with potato and sausages $38.99 is a steal! We got the lowest level of spice and picked the kickin sauce. The sauce is pretty mellow, and not spicy at all. Maybe more of a sriracha meets butter and garlic (although you can't taste the garlic much). The crab was ample and the single potato is a bit lacking at first glance but as you chow down it's more than enough. We got super full halfway through. My biggest gripe is after eating here we all (3 of us) had horrible stomachaches. Some of us lived in the bathroom all night. This isn't to create negativity and I'm just sharing our experience as we were super excited to eat here. I'm not sure why this happened as the seafood tasted very fresh, but I'm thinking maybe it's the amount of butter or something in the sauce specifically or how they make their sauce. It just didn't sit well with all three of us. Would we return? Probably somewhere in the future. read more

The Kickin' Crab - $38.99 1lb snow crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Portland, Oregon

So this place is relatively new and I cannot lie the three times I've been here before this review has been spot on. I went by myself, brought my sister in law then my mom and aunt. They messed up on our to go order but it was slightly our fault as well. Over all this place is amazing, the staff are kind, the lychee martini is to die for and I will defff be back read more

Didn't realize they opened at 12 on Sundays and we showed up at 11:30 . The manager was super cool and let us come in anyway. He just asked us to hang out for a bit while the kitchen finished prepping, but got us started with drinks in the meantime. Table of 6. Really nice of them to accommodate us. Good vibes, great food, and overall a really good experience! read more

I was honestly surprised by the portion sizes here! I've tried a lot of seafood boil spots around Portland, and this place definitely has the freshest crawfish by far. The portions are generous, and everything tasted amazing. There's also plenty of parking, which is a huge plus. Tip: Get the garlic noodles -- I seriously can't stop thinking about them! Highly recommend! read more

I'm so happy I don't have to fly to Cali anymore just to have kickin crab !!! I came opening weekend !! And it taste exactly like how I remembered ! Service and ambiance was great ! And crawfish is so fresh ! read more

My wife wanted Kickin Crab for Mother's Day, so we tried calling around 6 PM several times to place a to-go order, but every call went straight to voicemail. We decided to drive to the location around 7 PM anyway, only to be told they were no longer accepting to-go orders. What made it even more frustrating was that their Instagram post specifically said to-go orders were available. We've been loyal customers to the San Jose Copley location for years and have probably gone there over 10 times, so this experience was really disappointing. I understand holidays are busy, but there should've been better communication instead of sending calls straight to voicemail and turning customers away after they made the drive. read more

Service is super fast and friendly. They answered all our questions, gave us suggestions on the menu, and told us about their specials. Ambiance upbeat family restaurant. Kid friendly and very clean. Food came out super fast, warm, and delicious. read more

Amazing smell coming to into restaurant, haven't tried the food but I think it's gonna be amazing! The service so far is amazing:). read more

I finally tried The Kickin' Crab and honestly it's one of the better seafood boil spots I've had in Portland so far. The seafood was fresh, the portions were solid, and the sauce carried the whole meal. We got the Kickin' style seasoning with mild spice and it was super buttery, garlicky, savory, and actually flavorful instead of just tasting salty. The shrimp and crab were cooked well and soaked up the sauce perfectly. The vibe is exactly what you want from a seafood boil place -- messy tables, gloves, bags of seafood, loud energy, and good for going with friends or family. Service was friendly and the food came out pretty quick too. read more

The food is really good and crawfish are fresh.... I love it when they have good promotions every weeks 3lb for Just 24.95 read more

This place was delicious and the garlic noodles was probably the best I have had in a longtime. Portions were great and a decent amount. We had each ordered 1/2 pound of snow crab that came with sausages and potatoes and added 2 orders of boiled eggs. We also got 1/2 of shrimp as well and this was for 1 person so we ordered 2, one for me because I am a big back and one for him. Service was great and very attentive. Definitely would recommend if you are looking for some seafood! Unfortunately, I was not able to snap any photos as I was SO hungry and went in as soon as It arrived. read more

The Kickin' Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Food was delicious! Got The Kickin sauce with Snow crab, lobster tail and Shrimp. Keep in mind spice could be spicier, so I'd go up a level. Quality of seafood was great compared to other places I've gone. Service from what I observed could've been better. Seemed a bit disorganized, especially when multiple tables get sat within a certain time frame. Some tables would get neglected for some time and when it came down to the end of the meal, we'd have to search and flag someone down for the check. Other than that, everything was great. Would definitely be back. read more

Here for my second time! Love the food here and services is great too. Prices are fair and the portions are even better! What made it all come together was so small but it meant everything. At the end of the meal I was asked if I wanted a coke to go. (I ordered a coke with my meal). I never had a place offer that before! Great service. Recommend a try! read more

The Kickin' Crab delivers an unapologetic explosion of flavor, centered around their addictive, garlic-drenched "Kickin' Mixed" sauce. Whether you're cracking into sweet snow crab or peeling plump shrimp, every bag is a messy, buttery masterpiece balanced with the perfect Cajun kick. Pair your boil with their signature garlic noodles for the ultimate high-energy, finger-licking feast. read more

The service is great and l. Mai, she is very helpful and professional. We didn't wait to long even on weekends

Delicious food. Always well seasoned from the seafood boil itself to the sides!! Service is also very inviting and attentive.

If you order ahead of time and pick up your order, make sure you go into the area where the staff is, not the waiting area because you will not be acknowledged. They are very busy here. The raw oysters were fresh and served on ice even to go which i could appreciate, the gumbo had a good flavor a little sweet for my taste though, I did ask for rice with and it came in a little plastic condiment cup which was not nearly enough for the bowl of gumbo, that was disappointing. If you're going to give rice as an option, add it as a side and charge and give a decent serving at least a cup of rice. read more

Very slow the servers luck so confuses . Maybe because they recently opened food lucko good band good smells.
