The Kickin Crab is the spot if you love seafood with bold flavors. The boils come loaded with shrimp, crab, crawfish, and all the fixings—seasoned perfectly and messy in the best way. The staff is friendly, the vibe is casual, and it’s the kind of place where you roll up your sleeves and just dig in. Definitely a go-to for seafood lovers.

Nice fresh food. Sauce has become too sugary. That was the only downside

I got sick after eating here, the resturant was dirty and service was terrible. I emailed corporate to get a refund and said that I would have to provide medical documentation. All I was is a refund for a ruined vacation because of bad seafood
8/8 still no response

Got a to go order so can’t say much about the atmosphere. However, I will say the service here was excellent. The people up front were quick to attend once I mentioned getting a to go order. I got the seafood Alfredo and it was loaded with shrimp, scallops, mussels, and clams. I’m not a big seafood boil fan, so to have an alternative was nice. The pasta did not disappoint whatsoever, and is probably the best Alfredo I’ve had at any restaurant.

Super friendly staff. Delicious food. I usually go to the one in Garland Texas, so I thought I would try this one since I was close by. Kickin Crab never disappoints no matter what state you're in. I got the whole Lobster, 6 piece Sausage, and corn, Cajun medium. DELICIOUS. The lobster was perfectly cooked (no overcooked). Get there early because it is a little small and seems like seats are limited. I kept seeing people come in and leave. Other than that... a definite must.

When we went it was a wait! I’ll say it’s pretty okay but it’s expensive … 2 potatoes for 8 dollars! But the sauce with the crab boil is good. I had 3 bundle with 2lb shrimp and crawfish. I loved the potatoes, corn had that sauce with sweetness to it..
now that we’re being honest I did get hair in my food… unfortunately I did just pick it and didn’t make a scene but other than that it was still good!

It’s been a while since I had Cajun boil and Kickin crab did fabulous job making the shrimp bag with sausage/corn for dinner. Medium was spicy enough for someone who likes HOT 🥵! The sauce is so good… I can eat white rice 🍚 just with the sauce 💜
Thank you for delicious dinner! 👍🏼👍🏼

This is my go to spot whenever I am craving Boiling Crab but do not feel like making the drive all the way to Westminster. The service is always friendly and fast. The wait can be a bit long on certain days, usually Fridays or weekends, which also happens to be when my cravings hit lol.

I recommend getting the shrimp and crawfish. They stack up really well against Boiling Crab. Definitely add sausage too. I have not been back in a couple of months, but I still think about their Cajun fries. They are super good. They cover the tables with wax paper, so you can grab the ketchup bottle and make a ring around the fries basket. I call it the ring of fire.

No complaints here. Just solid food and good vibes.
